All injuries were repaired by 'Super Regeneration'.

It's obvious...

"The most effective way to kill this scorpion clone is to use the 'Orion's Arrow' to blast it to death directly."

To be honest, monsters of this level, if they just appear on the surface, will undoubtedly bring annihilation to the entire labyrinth city.

Now, it's time for Ling Shu to make a choice.

"Should we use the next round of mana, once it's fully replenished, on Orario or on the Great Forest?"

While his magic was still recovering and he still had options, he began to analyze rapidly and weigh the pros and cons.

On Orario's side, there's Otto, there's Finn, and most importantly... there's Ais.

If the latter were to 'go into overdrive', it might actually be able to kill the Scorpion clone using the characteristics of the 'Revenge Princess'.

But Ais is only Lv.5 now, and the possible consequences... I'm afraid that if she were to unleash her 'Black Wind', she herself, along with a large number of residents and adventurers in the surrounding area, would all perish.

In fact, even though Ota and others are currently holding back the Scorpion clone and trying their best to drive it out of the city, they have already caused huge casualties inside Orario in the process.

The adventurers from the other clans were truly unable to spare the time.

Because right now, the dungeon is also going berserk.

Faced with this dire situation, which can be described as being besieged on all sides, many adventurers, led by the 'Urban Guard' Ganesha Familia, are holding out for the bottom of the Tower of Babel.

Finn and the others only abandoned their plan to seal off the dungeon with the Ganesha Familia because they confirmed that the 'colossus' posed the greatest threat.

Then, things become perfectly clear.

"No matter which side you choose, the other side will suffer huge casualties."

To be honest, this was the first time Ling Shu had stood in such an important position, having to decide which side to "give up".

This pressure, accumulated from countless lives... coupled with the countdown ending in less than an hour, and the deadline for the 'strongest arrow from heaven' to fall (destroy the lower realm)...

"If I possessed enough magic (power) right now..."

Ling Shu (Kong), hovering above the 50th floor of the Gray Tree Forest with the help of the 'Wind Wings' to avoid the siege of the 'Giant Spider' and 'Black Rhino', subconsciously looked at his hands.

All the myriad situations are bound by a 'magical power'.

"A person who cannot give up anything cannot change anything?"

As soon as this idea took root in Ling Shu's mind, he felt that he had been somewhat arrogant.

Ultimately, whether they are 'strangers' within Orario or 'strangers' on the other side of the Great Forest, they are all just 'strangers'.

All I want to do now is protect those I know.

For example, my own beautiful older sister.

For example, Loki's friends on his side.

And there's Welf, Ryu, Seele...

He only cared about the safety of these people.

To think about the well-being of all people is something only a 'hero (fool)' would do.

In fact, if Andaris hadn't been charging up a Luna Arrow that was powerful enough to destroy the entire Netherworld, and if there weren't any other 'tall guys' who could use the 'Orion's Arrow'... he would have already retreated and let 'whoever wants to go first' take his place.

The empty title of "hero" is a losing proposition, only adding to his troubles, and he doesn't care about it at all.

But there are no "what ifs" in life...

"I'm not going to dwell on it anymore."

Ling Shu (Kong) made up his mind, "I live in Orario, so I'll save this place first."

"The next round of magic will be used to support the wounded at the 'Great Tree Sea'."

"During this time, we can only let Barbara and Diona use 'Elemental Skills' and 'Elemental Burst' more often."

Ling Shu had a clear train of thought.

He knew that having two more Genshin Impact clones appear in the world was actually equivalent to accumulating a '×18' mana recovery multiplier to reduce the burden.

However, since the 'Genshin Impact Descent' spell only consumes the user's mana, this 'loss' is acceptable.

Saying some inappropriate things...

While Barbara and Diona's elemental skills and elemental bursts cannot regenerate a severed arm, they can at least temporarily save Miss Asphie's life.

Based on this...

In fact, apart from Hermes, who was an uninvited guest, very few people knew that Barbara possessed a bug-level healing ability.

that……

"Since no one knows what I can do, it wouldn't hurt for me to keep a low profile to avoid becoming the target of everyone's criticism, right?"

This is a line of thinking that even Ling Shu himself finds somewhat repulsive.

This is also a line of thought that many people would subconsciously come up with.

Reality has always been so contradictory.

But now, faced with a difficult choice...

"I can only be someone I hate once."

Chapter 177 Shadows Amidst the Chaos

In fact, many people have a concept of 'priority' in their minds.

On Ling Shu's side, if he encounters a dilemma, unless it involves matters of great right and wrong, he will definitely prioritize helping and rescuing those relatives, friends, and gods who have been kind to him in the past.

Then, arrange them 'nearest' along the way.

This may seem a bit cold-hearted, but in fact... it is the most humane approach.

Because he felt that if he didn't have this kind of standard of measurement, then the so-called 'interpersonal relationships' would become a complete joke.

"Are people who treat you the best the most likely they are to get hurt because of you?"

Ling Shu didn't want to be that kind of 'hero'.

After all, with his eccentric personality, he would always stubbornly believe that those who ignore 'interpersonal relationships' and treat everyone the same are inexplicably hypocritical.

Even if those 'heroes' were willing to sacrifice themselves, it would be the same.

So... it still comes down to the premise that, without involving major issues of right and wrong, if you treat everyone the same, wouldn't that be extremely unfair to those who have been kind to you?

Since you're not offering any 'preferential treatment' anymore, why should I bother helping you?

Am I asking you to "generously" transfer my efforts to complete strangers?

Even... in the end, they might suffer serious consequences because of this?

Ling Shu felt that if such a 'hero' really existed, then putting aside everything else, this person's leadership skills would be absolutely terrible.

I really don't dare to get too close.

Of course, some 'heroes' still have many people willing to give everything to follow them because of their unconventional, so-called 'leadership qualities'.

But Ling Shu was destined not to be that kind of person.

In short, from this perspective alone...

"Perhaps I really am suited to join Freya Familia."

Ling Shu increasingly felt this way.

Because, tonight, shortly after the Scorpion clone attacked Orario...

The 'strongest' also made the same choice as him.

******

The location is in the southeastern part of Orario, within the 'Urban Third District - Slums'...

"That wild boar bastard."

The hot-tempered young man, of werewolf origin, with silver-gray hair and a tattoo on his left cheek, couldn't help but curse aloud.

Just now, the pigman warrior who was the strongest fighter in our (temporary) camp actually deserted.

The turning point came when this colossal object unleashed a purple beam of light that shattered the Tower of Babel.

The situation, which could have been barely maintained and even pushed the monster out of the metropolitan area, completely collapsed because of that guy's autocratic rule.

At this moment, the entire Daedalus Street was in a state of chaos.

Screams and cries filled the air.

Witnessing this scene...

Does this mean that even in this fantastical world where gods are descending, the poor are the most vulnerable to suffering?

No, that's not the case.

The reason why the poor people's 'Daedalus Street' was attacked by the Scorpion clone is simply because Orario, located in the far west of the continent, happens to be in this direction and is closest to the 'Great Forest' located in the far south.

The Scorpion clone, having dug its way through the Caios Desert to this point, would inevitably first encounter the southeastern urban area.

Therefore, strictly speaking, after the start of the 'war,' it wasn't just Daedalus Street that suffered; even the 'Urban Fourth District - Pleasure District' was severely affected.

However, compared to the tragic scene on Daedalus Street...

"Hahahaha, serves you right, serves you right, you bastard (beep~)."

Despite the fact that her own territory was in complete disarray, the brown-skinned goddess couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing the Tower of Babel collapsing.

She was genuinely 'happy'.

The surrounding area suffered heavy casualties?

Is the lower realm about to be destroyed?

No, none of that matters to Ishtar.

It's all worth it as long as that arrogant, disgusting guy (Freya) suffers.

"I'm willing to break all taboos to bring her down."
