Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 591 There is a gap between demigods
"I'll fight Ratahn?"

The astonished voices echoed through Gael Fortress, creating a comedic effect akin to dark humor.

If Galid's giant raven hadn't been unable to fly, there would have been a classic comedic scene of "a raven flying across the sky, leaving behind a cawing sound."

Fan En swallowed hard, only to realize that his throat was extremely parched and his lips had lost all moisture.

It was probably because of the continuous heavy breathing after seeing the spectacular scene.

Putting aside trivial matters like drinking water to quench his thirst, he focused his attention on the portal next to the treasure chest.

The light near the portal converged into a vortex and was sucked into the portal, as if it were saying something like "Come and play, grandpa," to lure people in. Normally, even if adventurers know that there are landmines ahead, they still have to wade through them to experience the taste of landmines.

Moreover, if Vann's guess is correct, this portal should be the gate back to Red Lion City. Once they return, they can continue their challenge and participate in the battle festival.

Thinking this, a bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Suddenly, I just don't want to play anymore."

Although the scene froze at the most crucial moment, preventing him from seeing the final outcome of the battle.

However, judging from the description of the amulet, the outcome of this battle was undoubtedly a victory for Rataen.

I'm afraid he earned the title "Shattered Star" because of this battle.

But he was truly one of the top experts. Fan En thought to himself, "How come people in ancient times seem to be much stronger than people now?"
Besides the extraordinary performance of General Shattered Star, another scene that left the deepest impression on him from that footage was not emphasized in the video—

The stars in the sky have stopped spinning.

Even now, Van En still can't figure out what kind of power could stop the stars from turning. Could it be because the name "demigod" has "god" in it? This is indeed something that only gods can do.

"Sealing the stars, directly using its immense power to stop their activity? Just how domineering must that power be?"

Even Vann, who had never been exposed to anything like the occult, knew that the stars must involve many strange things and were not to be touched lightly.

Just like that evil god in the starry sky, hidden in the dim star.

Therefore, Ainz III's daily provocations against the evil god by launching giant rockets earned him the reputation of being even more of a berserker than a berserker himself.

"If General Shattered Star can truly target the starry sky, doesn't that mean even the Evil God can't defeat him?"

Once there was a comparison, the power of General Shattered Star was immediately elevated to an unprecedented level in people's minds.

"I can't think about this anymore," Van En said, stopping his wandering thoughts in time, still shaken.

"If I keep thinking about it, my rationality will be eroded."

It turns out.

Judging Rataen by Grik's abilities was a terrible mistake.

He didn't mean to insult Greck on purpose, but...
It feels like those meteors from Estée would have been more than enough to kill Grik.

"I finally understand why those afterimages seemed to look down on Grek."

Van En sighed deeply and muttered to himself:
"Weakness is the original sin."

After witnessing the power of other demigods, Grik, who could only use his limb-splitting abilities, suddenly felt like he had become a primitive character after the game version update. However, this was only after Gong Qiying had strengthened him.

“No, we can’t think like that.” He shook his head. “Anyone who can beat Grek is already an excellent adventurer. As for Rataen, he’s really not someone we can defeat.”

Just like when facing Artorias, there's no need for anyone to confront an enemy they have no chance of defeating.

Looking back at the spirit that kept talking about defeating the white lion to participate in the battle festival, Vann suddenly felt that the person named "Jellyn" might not have simply used the white lion as a test of the qualities of those who wanted to participate in the battle festival.

There might also be an element of using the legend of shattered stars to test one's courage.

If someone can still muster the fighting spirit to challenge General Shattered Star after watching the video, then they are truly one in a million brave individuals, qualified to participate in the Battle Festival and challenge Rataen.

Am I qualified?

He clenched his fist, pondered for a moment, and then finally let go.

But instead of the cowardice that shone in his eyes, he seemed to have found his target, muttering to himself:
"I only felt qualified to challenge Rataen after I trained until I could defeat Grek on my own."

Although it is said that people don't need to challenge enemies they can't defeat.

But fighting against that enemy would be a pretty exciting thing to do, wouldn't it?

Thinking of this, he touched the portal, and was immediately sucked in by a suction force.

"Let's go check out the battle festival first and witness Rataen's strength with our own eyes."

However, he seems to have overlooked one thing:
What was the purpose of holding the Battle Festival again?

A few seconds later, Vann appeared in a familiar place, Red Lion City.

However, this was not where they had been when they were first teleported away by the teleportation array. Instead, they were in front of the city gate, some distance away from the gate which was completely blocked by thick iron bars. The road was full of spiked roadblocks. The only lucky thing was that the catapults couldn't hit them at such close range.

"So in the end we still have to fight again?" he couldn't help but complain. The portal next to him was still lit up, so it seemed he could quickly reach Gale Fortress from here in the future. It was a blessing in disguise that he had opened up a small shortcut.

Looking around, all that could be seen were the corpses of monsters and soldiers; there were hardly any living creatures to be seen. The result of the battle just now was extremely tragic.

Abe and Moore have disappeared without a trace; I haven't seen them at all.

The monsters were completely wiped out, and the Red Lion soldiers also suffered heavy losses. The remaining remnants seemed to be gathered at the city gate, and Vann was nowhere to be seen. "Has everyone not come over yet?"

He simply found a roadblock as cover, sat down to rest, and waited for his companions to return. While resting, he examined the amulet in his hand, "The Legend of Shattered Stars."

Wearing the amulet on my body immediately makes me feel a surge of power awakening within me, as if I want to find something to beat up and release that excess power.

However, this force immediately had a negative effect on the body, causing warm blood to flow from the nasal cavity.

Vann immediately removed the amulet and threw it into the amulet pouch.

This not only increased the amulet's amplification effect, but also eliminated its negative effects.

"Very good." He smiled with satisfaction.

After waiting a few minutes, the portal flickered, and the familiar Euphemia appeared there.

Fan En was about to stand up and greet him when he suddenly saw the other person standing there, holding a talisman, seemingly unaware that he had been teleported.

He immediately understood that the symptoms were exactly the same as his own. It was probably another person who had gone crazy from watching porn, and even the portal had likely been accidentally activated.

"Euphie?"

He called out tentatively, intending to shake the other person to wake him up, but Yuffie jumped back as if startled.

"Who's there? You scared me!"

Yuffie had been like a frightened rabbit, but she calmed down after seeing Vane. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, her eyes still looking somewhat dazed and confused, clearly not having come to her senses yet.

It's rare to see her show such a delicate side. Fan En felt like he had discovered a new continent and suddenly really wanted to know how she felt after seeing the image of General Shattered Star. It must be very entertaining.

Just as he transformed into a fun-loving person and couldn't wait to have some fun, the portal flickered again, and this time Luluwo appeared.

"Whoa!"

As soon as she came out, she screamed and darted behind the roadblock. After a while, she peeked out from the side of the roadblock like a thief, looking terrified.

"What's wrong with you?" Fan En had never seen someone with such a strong sense of stealth before, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Shut up, you don't understand the fear I felt just now, someone who fought Estée with my own hands!" Luluwo cut the subject short.

As an elderly woman who participated in the entire meteor shower event, seeing Estée in the video brought back a whole host of things she didn't want to recall, triggering her PTSD. Even General Shattered Star's heroic performance in the end couldn't completely put her mind at ease.

After Luluwo respawned, the others gradually returned to the area.

Although their behaviors were all strange in their own way.

Mira, her eyes shining, spoke of her admiration for General Shattered Star's heroic performance as if it were a flowing river. Tammy trembled with excitement, as if she had found a new idol, while Aisem was panting heavily as if she were doing strenuous exercise.

"Which is heavier, Rataen's two swords or Smo's hammer?" Luluvo finally asked.

The issues that your Skyrim strategy team focuses on are really strange. I don't know whether I should say or not.

After a while, the group paused to catch their breath and exchanged a few words before realizing that they had all been teleported to Gael Fortress at the same time, but hadn't encountered anyone else. They couldn't understand what was going on.

But now that you're out there, there's no need to dwell on it; adventurers never obsess over things that are already in the past.

As you can imagine, the discussion that followed couldn't escape the central theme of "Ratan".

"I never imagined that the legendary Rataen would possess such divine power. Could this be the true strength that demigods should have?"

"If demigods all have this kind of power, what's the point of us fighting? Why don't we turn around and challenge the Full Moon Queen?"

"That guy is obviously not a good person either. Grek is much more approachable."

Even among demigods, there are differences.

It seemed everyone was affected by Rata's power, and the conversation became increasingly negative.

We can't let things get worse, so Yuffie quickly clapped her hands to get everyone's attention and said:

"Everyone, have you rested enough? Now it's time to continue with our initial goal!"

The initial goal was, of course, to participate in the battle festival.

"Oh"

She received some negative responses from people.

With veins bulging on his forehead, Yuffie, adopting the imposing air of a general, shouted, "Get your act together!"

"it is good"

However, the adventurers remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics.

"."

In short, after much persuasion, the group, who had somewhat lost their will to fight, still embarked on their journey towards Red Lion City.

congratulations.
