"How do you think the guild should handle this request?"
Phryne lowered her head: "I will take responsibility."
"What are you responsible for?" Ishtar sneered: "That hero almost died in there, do you think we can complete the mission?"
Phryne knelt on the ground and clenched her fists: "Otherwise, let me kill Astraea's family and then take the goddess away from the city!"
Ishtar threw the fruit plate beside her at Phryne's face: "You useless thing, I told you to exercise more and play with men less! Now your brain is almost full of bugs!"
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Phryne retreated awkwardly.
Ishtar instantly put away her angry expression.
She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up, put on her cloak, and walked to the cabinet in the shrine.
She opened the cabinet door. It was empty inside and there were several buttons on the wall. Ishtar entered the password skillfully.
The floor inside the cabinet hummed, and the cabinet began to sink, eventually disappearing into the room.
……
Man-made maze.
Ishtar stepped into the secret passage on the first floor. She skillfully took out the Eye of Daedalus and opened the blocked metal door.
Before she took a few steps forward, she saw a figure in a black robe.
"god……"
"Take me to see Thanatos..."
"Yes."
As the black-robed men moved forward, they stopped in front of a palace on the fifth floor of the maze.
"God, God... can you really, really fulfill my wish?"
"Yes, just sign a contract with me. You have heard the contents of the contract, right? When you die for my divine will, I will fulfill my oath and guarantee your afterlife."
Ishtar looked at Thanatos who was standing on the altar with his hands raised high to announce the deal, and a cold smile appeared on her face:
"Oh, this liar is showing off his boring authority again."
Seeing Thanatos bestowing favors on the new family, Ishtar did not go forward to disturb him, but stood quietly aside and waited.
And on the other side of the altar.
Shadow leaned against the pillar, watching everything with cold eyes:
"You are getting better and better at pretending to be a great god."
Thanatos evacuated the new family and replied in a teasing tone: "I mean, this is really a pain in the back and shoulders. How about switching with me, Shadow-chan?"
Shadow raised his eyelids slightly from under his hood:
"Things like that are meaningless unless they are from God."
He stood up straight and raised the corners of his mouth: "However, your believers are indeed obedient enough. I am happy to accept them."
Thanatos smiled bitterly and said, "Don't exploit me anymore. Balka-chan is already complaining that she needs a lot of manpower to transform the maze."
Shadow snorted: "Who cares about you..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and said, "It looks like a guest is coming."
Thanatos also set his sights on the passage. Ishtar slowly took off her hood and revealed her true face to the two of them:
"Long time no see, Thanatos."
Chapter 342 The protagonist on the stage is not me.
"Hey, isn't this the investor? What wind brought you, the god of wealth?"
Thanatos smiled and said, "Come to think of it, we are really short of money recently. Can you support us a little more?"
Ishtar's mouth drooped and she said coldly:
"I just fed you last month, and now you're asking for milk from your mother again?"
"It really consumes a lot of energy. Those who are capable should do more work." Thanatos boasted, "It's not impossible for me to call you mom! As long as I pay."
Ishtar was dissatisfied:
"Get lost. Normally I'm paid by others."
She sighed and changed the subject:
"I came here this time because I need to ask you for something."
"what?"
"The guild ordered us to investigate the man-made maze, so I hope you can help us."
Thanatos: "This..."
Ishtar said confidently, "I'm just asking you to put on a show, and then accidentally give me a map of the maze at the end. This is just a small matter, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Thanatos smiled wryly and said:
"Uh, no. Ishtar? The maze is at a critical stage right now. It's okay to let you in, but I can't guarantee your safety."
Ishtar was stunned: "Why?"
"Well..."
Thanatos hesitated.
Shadow interrupted:
"The current maze is evolving into a living being. Unstable divine power is flowing in every part. If you are not careful, it is easy to send people to the sky."
"you are?"
Shadow opened his arms: "My name is Shadow, the leader of the artificial god project."
As he spoke, he dropped his arm onto the maze, and a layer of golden power circuit flashed for a moment.
Ishtar quietly felt this familiar divine power: "Dionysus?"
Shadow smiled, "Yes, Lord Dionysus's power is very interesting, and it is hard to explain it in words. If you are interested, you can come and see it with your own eyes."
Ishtar hesitated for a moment, then followed the shadow.
When the three of them entered the 10th floor, Ishtar suddenly stopped.
The environment in front of me has completely changed. It is no longer a traditional maze structure, but a dark-style palace.
The palace is connected by a pitch-black stone bridge covered with fangs. The corpses of monsters are scattered on both sides of the bridge, and bubbling lava is flowing below, creating a picture of hell.
"this is……"
Shadow raised his lips: "Dungeon."
Shadow stepped forward and casually chopped into pieces a black elf phantom that looked similar to the fallen fairy.
The three of them stepped forward, and Shadow introduced:
"Lord Dionysus's divine power represents wine, revelry, art, and opera."
“So, the effect is obvious, creating a frenzied stage with physical lethality.”
Thanatos added: "Once we step into the range of divine power, it is equivalent to entering a drunken state. Everything in front of us is both illusory and real."
Ishtar's face was serious: "You seem to have come up with something really amazing."
……
Ishtar was in a heavy mood as she followed the shadow and came to a giant crystal. It was wrapped in countless dark tentacles and blocked on the outside with objects similar to ribs.
Inside the crystal, Dionysus hangs upside down, floating in the crystal.
Noticing the arrival, he slowly opened his eyes: "Shadow-san, how about my previous proposal? Rotate the crystal slightly so that I can stand normally."
Shadow was unmoved and said calmly: "I told you, hanging upside down will make it easier for the divine power to work."
"Ok."
When Ishtar saw Dionysus's miserable state, she could not help but exclaim, "Are you imprisoning the gods?"
Realizing this, Ishtar couldn't help but take a step back. She didn't bring any guards this time. Would she become the second Dionysus?
Shadow didn't care about Ishtar's changes and simply said, "It's impossible even for us to check the map of the maze now."
"Because you never know whether what you see is real or illusory."
"Plus the uncontrollable monster hatching, if you want the so-called map, it would be faster for you to do it yourself."
Ishtar was silent.
When she looked up again, she had given up. "I know. I'll let the kids figure it out on their own. Now get me out of here."
Thanatos did not stop her and escorted Ishtar out of the illusion.
As he was about to leave the maze, Thanatos took out a blueprint from his arms:
"This is the blueprint for the original maze. If you need it, you can also use it to fool the guild."
Ishtar's face lit up with joy and she wanted to reach out her hand.
But Thanatos took it back, with a mercenary smile on his face: "This is the lifeblood of Balka-chan, the crystallization of thousands of years of sweat..."
Ishtar frowned and turned around: "Are you kidding me?"
Thanatos stretched out Erkang's hand: "Hey, wait, I mean, add money!"
……
time flies.
The sun slowly sets and darkness covers the city. As the moon rises, the city gradually becomes quiet from the bustle of the pubs and bright lights.
In the alley of Orarie West Street.
In the temporary residence of the Emma clan and the Jianyulei clan, a team of thirty high-ranking adventurers kicked open the door.
As the people stood on both sides, Phryne walked in, shaking her fat body like a toad.
Behind her, Ishtar walked over with a silver pipe in hand, swaying her waist.
After coming out of the artificial maze, Ishtar realized a problem. The area of the maze was too large. Even with the cover of the people over there, it would take an extremely long time to deal with the guild.
It would be bad if these small clans in front of us kept jumping out to cause trouble during this period, so we must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and do it ruthlessly so that other clans would not dare to provoke us easily.
Theia, the god who had just descended to the mortal world, became Ishtar's first target for venting her sexual desire.
Such a big scene naturally attracted the attention of the owner of the room.
Jian Yulei pushed the door open and looked at the people in front of him, and couldn't help but frowned:
"Ishtar, what do you mean?"
Thea huddled behind the God of War, muttering, "Ajian, you have to protect me."
"It's all because of that stupid Emma. I told her to keep a low profile, but she still didn't listen."
"They say that listening to advice will make you stronger, and staying calm is the key to victory, but you insisted on causing trouble. Now you feel better, don't you?"
Seeing the two gods looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Phryne chopped the ground with an axe, creating a three-meter-long gully:
"What do you mean? Of course it means to send that bitch back to heaven!"
Samira raised her eyebrows: "If you don't go back on your own initiative, we can't guarantee that your children can walk out of this courtyard alive."
"Hahaha, the big sister is right!"
Naked threat of force...
Jian Yulei's expression was very ugly. He looked at Ishtar and said, "Is this what you mean?"
Ishtar blew out a smoke ring: "Of course..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt that the collar she had left on Chun Ji suddenly disappeared? And the location was unexpectedly in the small courtyard in front of her...
Haruhime was not included in this operation. For Ishtar, it was just a matter of dealing with a few small clansmen, and there was no need to expose the Manma Hammer.
