Thanatos was truly panicked.

Because Icelos is gone.

Moreover, just now... after that blonde little girl and Freya disappeared from the spot, the golden pillar of light symbolizing the gods being sent back to the heavens did not appear until they reappeared.

Instead...

"Tanatas, are you mentally prepared?"

Ying revealed a 'cute' smile and slowly approached, "I'm about to begin 'cleansing' your soul's memories~"

"!"

A bewitching male god, his face filled with terror.

He instinctively stepped back...

"Click~"

But Ota grabbed him and pinned him down.

For a moment, looking at Ying, who was smiling with her eyes narrowed, this little girl whom he had just called 'cute'...

"Don't come any closer!!"

That scream was the final words of a certain Grim Reaper in the present world.

******

Ling Shu originally planned to give the Emperor the third 'worldly chess piece (heart of the god)' he had acquired today.

But later, after being reminded by 'Xiao You', he temporarily gave up the idea.

On the one hand, the Emperor is not currently interested in this thing that he considers 'external'.

on the other hand……

The divinity of Thanatos and the divinity of Icarus are well-suited to be managed by the Shadow.

You should know that on the other side of Earth, these two gods are twin brothers.

So... you understand what I mean, right?

The above is the information about the riddle teller initially provided by 'Xiao You'.

then……

“If you don’t make things clear, then we might as well wait a bit longer for the ‘armed doll’ thing…”

No, no, no!

At that moment, the incredibly unreliable Miss Holy Sword finally panicked.

She quickly added, "Sigh~ Simply put, if Shadow were to possess these two mortal chess pieces (Hearts of Gods) taken from the 'Twin Gods,' she might be able to reclaim what she had lost, the most important thing."

"..."

Now, Ling Shu understood.

Twin deities... Clearly, 'Xiao You' is now referring to Shadow's older sister—Raiden Shin.

You should know that the true god of thunder in Teyvat is actually 'True + Shadow'.

and so……

"understood."

Ling Shu agreed with 'Xiao You's' suggestion, "This Heart of God will also be entrusted to Ying for safekeeping."

"Anyway, the 'expedition' to hunt down Dionysus is about to begin."

"The Emperor's side has no shortage of 'goods'."

Chapter 292 Legend has it that sentient weapons speak in a very suggestive way.

The remnants of the Dark Faction have long used the 'artificial labyrinth - Knossos' as their base of operations.

Over the years, the Ikelos clan has been engaged in smuggling here, the Thanatos clan has been inciting fanatics here, and the Dionysus clan... or rather, the chief god of this faction, has been conducting human experiments here.

The reason why 'Knossos' has not been discovered by adventurers in Orario to this day is because it was built in such a secretive way.

Previously, the "Killer Emperor" of the Dark Faction used this man-made maze to escape after the failed 'Seven Days of Death' struggle.

As for now...

"From today onwards, this place belongs to us (Freya's Familia)!"

"Oh!!!" ×4

As the silly little sister raised her hands high, in a gesture that resembled 'praising the sun,' and uttered the above concluding statement, the [Four Flame Warriors] were quite good at supporting this little sister, cheering for a while.

Ling Shu is also present at the moment.

At this very moment, having just completed two 'true god-slaying' acts, he was being scrutinized from head to toe by Otto, Allen, Hedin, and others.

Today, the two sides have officially made their 'hidden relationship' public.

In the eyes of the 'Eight Heroes'...

"To be able to wipe out the entire Ikeros Familia, who were at Lv.3, at the Lv.5 level... Lady Freya's vision is as sharp as ever."

Clearly, they were very satisfied with Ling Shu's 'performance' today.

Ota and his team's thinking was simple:

"As long as she doesn't become useless, Lady Freya can be guaranteed to be safe and sound when she wants to play outside."

but……

"Kid, don't get too cocky."

"Make me a 'cadre' first, then we'll talk."

"If I see you touching our little princess's head again, I'll chop off your hand."

“Damn it, I didn’t even have that chance…damn it.”

"I'm not envious at all, really."

……

"..."

It was probably while Ying was curiously running to one of the control rooms in the artificial maze to play with the traps and mechanisms that Allen and the [Flame Gold Warriors] came over and had a 'friendly exchange' with Ling Shu.

Honestly, they're all juniors from the same camp, so why is there such a big difference in their treatment?

and also……

Ota, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, aren't you supposed to be an 'insider'?

When the Traveler Twins registered as adventurers at the 'Guild', it was you who took them there.

Why do you seem more and more like a hypocrite to me lately?

He was very polite when he greeted Ying, but when it came to his own side... he completely ignored her?

Could it be... that you've started to imagine things out of the blue and are now biased towards one side?

"Sigh, I'm so tired."

Ling Shu sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.

Look to the side...

"Hehe~ You two are really close!"

Freya cupped her cheek in one hand, her voice filled with emotion, and she smiled broadly.

Suddenly...

“emmmm~”×9

With Ying gone, Ling Shu and the 'Eight Heroes' exchanged glances, all showing speechless expressions.

They seemed to be saying in silence, "You guys... you all have it pretty tough, huh?"

Just then...

"This man-made maze is really fun!"

Ying returned with a light laugh and immediately noticed the strange atmosphere between the nine people and one god not far away.

"Uh~ why are you all standing there like statues?"

The silly little sister asked a question out of curiosity.

"Cough~"

Ling Shu coughed lightly, "Ying, I'll head back now."

"Next, I'll leave the details of the upcoming 'expedition' to you all."

Excuse me!

Having said that, Ling Shu glanced around at the others present, greeting them all, before directly instructing Mona to use 'Group Teleportation' to take him out of the artificial maze.

He had recently received a message from Sora, informing him that the goddess Astrea was about to return to Orario.

After all, he's Liu's good friend. He's been taking advantage of that useless elf, so he should at least lend a hand now.

Furthermore...

"Regarding 'Alicie,' the situation was special before, and we had to keep it from Ryu as much as possible."

"But now that Alicia has the opportunity to be reborn in the future as an 'armed doll'... this is no small matter. At least Ryu and Goddess Astrea need to know so that they can be mentally prepared in advance."

Of course……

"I still cannot reveal some of the core secrets of my 'Primordial Man' magic."

Ling Shu had already made arrangements in this regard, and was very confident.

As for the others...

As for Ying, she will definitely have to discuss with the 'Eight Heroes' the matter of organizing an 'expedition' next.
