I'm tied to Athena.

At that moment, the figures overlapped.

"....What!?" Rui Weisi turned back in horror, but what she saw was her arm flying into the air!

"You bullied my friend so badly!"

The black-haired boy's cold gaze was like a venomous snake, and pure darkness enveloped the entire passage. The last thing that caught Rui Weisi's eyes was a fist!

"Fly." The steel fist like a cannonball hit the woman's face. The huge impact caused the woman's body to be blown away like a embankment destroyed by a flood.

The slender body hit the wall made of super metal, immediately raising a large amount of flying dust that filled the entire passage.

The matter of Feilaweisi and Aisi made this always smiling boy completely angry.

"Ai Si, are you okay? I'll treat you right away!" He ran to Ai Si, took out the universal potion and sprinkled it on her. Fortunately, he prepared a few universal potions just in case.

"It's okay..." Aisi, whose wounds were healed by the universal potion, shook her head, "Great, you're okay..."

"I won't die here so easily. You should take a rest first." After confirming that Ai Si was fine, Li Yun turned his gaze to the red-haired woman.

"What is that guy doing! Can't he even do such a small thing!" Gritting her teeth and pounding the wall hard, the red-haired woman cursed the fairy girl lying in the room.

"If I were you, I would think about how to escape from here." A deep voice like the god of death sounded, and the red-haired woman widened her eyes, and her slender legs jumped subconsciously... but couldn't jump! ?

So heavy! ?

The sudden gravity bent the woman's knees, and with a plop, she fell to her knees!

“Take it!” The blade that cut through the darkness tore the woman’s other arm apart. “I said I would chop you into pieces, and I will definitely chop you into pieces!”

At this moment, the door opened. The sudden sound made Li Yun stop what he was doing. He felt... the breath of God!

A god walked out from behind the door.

Her long, feminine, dark purple hair was as smooth as silk, and her slender figure was as young as a girl. Although she was wearing tattered black clothes, the bright smile on her lips was enough to make people ignore this shortcoming.

"As expected of Athena's only family - the Returnees." The decadent god with a face that seemed to be condensed from darkness narrowed his eyes and whispered as if praising.

"Thanatos." The young man whispered the god's name as if responding to the god's words.

"Thanatos!?" Seeing such a gloomy god for the first time, Ai Si was subconsciously startled and became alert.

"Ah, there's really nothing we can do." The gloomy and handsome god whispered helplessly, "Fifteen years ago, with Zeus and Hera's family around, we could only hide and prepare plans in secret. We finally waited until Zeus and Hera's family declined and the two kings were weak. We had a rare chance to come out and act recklessly, but were suppressed by Uranus and his family again."

"Six years ago, we planned to use the turmoil on the twenty-seventh floor to hide the children, but we didn't expect the brave man to see through us, find our base directly, and forcibly send many main gods back to heaven. The children who lost their main gods died on the twenty-seventh floor..."

"I am a god who has lived until now, secretly accumulating strength, and wanted to wait until the immortal spirit descended before appearing..."

"My life is really hard, isn't it, returnee?"

"Although you have perseverance, goals, willpower and ambition, unfortunately, you are blocking my way. Your actions threaten the safety of Athena, so I can only send you back." As if stepping on an ant, the boy cut Reese's throat and faced the god with awe-inspiring momentum.

Chapter 136: Natural Disaster Black Dragon and Heroes

"What a grumpy child." The cold-tempered god of death, Thanatos, laughed, "Ah, I really hope you kill more people. I don't care about the soul of that child after he dies."

"Are you alone? Dionysus... No, where is Enyo?" The young man seemed to be looking for something. He looked around and found that there was no one else except Thanatos and the adventurers hiding in the dark behind him.

"Dionysus? Kid, hahahaha....you mean, Dionysus is Enyo?" The God of Death laughed, as if he heard some funny joke.

"After trading for so long, I have only heard a masked man mention this name... He has no face, no voice, and I am not even sure if he exists."

"That's an interesting statement... Can you explain your basis for this, son?"

"I don't need to explain too much to you, and there's no need to listen to your nonsense. If he's not here, then I'll go find him." There was murderous intent in his calm words. The black-haired boy really wanted to swing his scythe against God!

"Wait wait wait... Enyo is Dionysus?" Loki shouted in the secret room, "What's going on? We have confirmed that Dionysus is not lying."

Not only did Loki confirm that the other party was not lying, he also saw with his own eyes Dionysus whispering an apology at the grave of his own child. The tone and determination in his voice were genuine. It was the first time that Loki saw such a determined Dionysus.

That is why Loki thought Dionysus was a trustworthy partner——but in the end, he was the culprit! ?

"Dear Athena." Li Yun refused to answer Thanatos, so Loki could only look at Athena.

Not only Loki, but everyone else also looked at her. To be honest, no one doubted Dionysus, no one thought that his love for the child was fake, such a result was really beyond expectation.

The silver-haired goddess sighed and began to answer for them.

"That's right. Dionysus spoke the truth in front of you and me. But he spoke the truth when he was drunk."

"Drunk?"

"Dionysus is the god of wine. He can brew fine wine that is not available in the underworld. At the same time, as long as he injects divine will into the divine wine, he can get himself drunk and achieve a hypnotic effect."

Athena whispered softly, "When he was drunk, he thought he was a righteous partner and that his child was killed by the dark faction. Therefore, his conversations with you were all 'sincere'. Naturally, you couldn't tell whether he was being sincere or not."

"No way, he can do this!?" Su Mo has already done this thing of controlling people with divine wine. He can make gods drunk with divine wine and put them to sleep... This kind of thing is too incredible.

If this wine spread outside, does it mean that Dionysus can control all children?

"Wait, how do you know this, dear Athena?"

"He smells of alcohol."

"Hmm? Why can't we smell it? Is Athena a relative of a dog?"

"roll!"

The conversation ended here. Loki could guess more without Athena saying anything. As long as there was a decisive factor, nothing could be hidden from their eyes.

Freya has the ability to see into children's souls, but they have the ability to see if the gods are lying.

When it comes to cheating, they are actually the same.

.....

In the passage, the Son of Man raised his butcher knife against the god, ignoring each other's identities, and wanted to send him back to the realm of gods.

Facing the sickle raised by the returner, the Grim Reaper still smiled and said, "Want to hear a story?"

"A story about a filthy fairy and a black dragon."

The sickle stopped at the god's neck. The black-haired boy narrowed his eyes and after a while, he put down the sickle and said, "Speak!"

“Hehe, what an unlovable child.” The God of Death straightened his clothes and said slowly, “Before the three major tasks of the adventurers—Leviathan, the Overlord of the Sea, Behemoth, the King of the Land, and the One-eyed Black Dragon, the Overlord of the Sky—appeared, it was the natural disaster black dragon—Nidhoggr—that brought fear and disaster to people.”

"Wait, aren't the One-Eyed Black Dragon and the Calamity Black Dragon the same?"

"The One-Eyed Black Dragon and the Scourge Black Dragon are not the same." The God of Death said with a smile, "The One-Eyed Black Dragon is a test for adventurers, while the Scourge Black Dragon is an unmatched disaster."

"The one-eyed black dragon that appeared fifteen years ago was just a floor master born in the dungeon. The real natural disaster black dragon is an existence that controls the sky and brings fear."

The God of Death chuckled, "Follow me."

Thanatos turned and left. Li Yun and Ai Si looked at each other and followed him. The three of them walked through several passages... They were walking upwards.

After walking up about six floors, the two, led by Thanatos, arrived at a spacious corridor.

This place is very similar to the ruins, with long stone pillars and the surroundings illuminated by dim blue magic stone lamps, giving people a deep atmosphere.

And on the walls of this corridor, there are pictures.

However, these pictures are not complete...some are painted on red stone slabs, and some are carved on cracked and faded rock walls. They must have been pieced together.

However, these murals have one thing in common: they all depict scenes of humans being chased by monsters and fleeing for their lives.

From the various paintings, one can seem to hear the roars of monsters and the cries of people.

A feast of disaster and frenzy, destruction and screams.

Faced with this inexplicably gloomy space, Aisi felt a sense of disgust.

"Where is this place?" As she was looking around, her eyes were suddenly attracted by something, and her golden eyes suddenly stopped in front of a mural.

"This is a dragon, and..." The content of this mural is different from other murals.

There is a giant dragon in the center of the painting, and six girls are surrounding the dragon.

The girls closed their eyes and clasped their hands together, as if they were praying for something... But Ais knew that this was not a prayer. The blood flowing in her body told her that this was not a prayer!

"This is what Enyo... No, it should be said that Dionysus collected it. He likes to collect these messy things." Thanatos walked towards the mural full of cracks. "The dragon above is the black dragon Nidhogg, the natural disaster."

"It was the first darkness to appear on the surface of the earth, and the first to bring destruction and disaster to people. This dragon is a natural disaster that stands above all monsters and cannot be defeated by any adventurer."

"And the girls surrounding the black dragon are the six fairy queens."

"The Fairy Queen?"

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to Thanatos' whispers. This was a secret from thousands of years ago, a secret that no one knew.

Thousands of years ago, the black dragon of natural disasters ravaged the world, and humans on the surface lived in fear of the black dragon of natural disasters - they didn't know when the natural disaster would befall them.

In order to restore peace to the world, ancient humans and immortals made an important decision - to defeat the black dragon!

After the decision to defeat the black dragon was made, powerful heroes from all over the world set out on their journey. They gathered in front of the Big Void, and finally, led by the strongest hero, the mercenary king Valentinstein, and the seven fairy queens, hundreds of heroes entered the magic cave together.

No one knew the outcome of this crusade. Since then, the Black Dragon has not appeared again, and neither have the heroes and fairy queens who went to crusade against it.

Everyone said that they all perished together. In order to save the world, hundreds of heroes, seven fairy queens and the black dragon perished together.

But in fact, this was not the case. The black dragon was not defeated. The power of the natural disaster was too strong. Even if a hundred heroes and seven fairy queens were assembled, they could not destroy the black dragon.

Finally, the fairy queens made a decision - sacrifice themselves and seal the black dragon completely!

In order to buy time for the fairy queens, hundreds of heroes charged forward fearlessly and tried to slow down the black dragon.

In the end, hundreds of heroes died in the battle, and seven fairy queens sacrificed their lives to completely seal the black dragon in the Great Cave.

"Hmm, this is the story that has been passed down from ancient times to this day." The beautiful Death God, who looked like a woman, praised in a low voice, "It's a very touching story, isn't it? Sacrificing oneself for the people, whether it's a hero or a fairy queen, they are worthy of our respect."

"But the story doesn't end here." He tapped the slate. "Look, there are only six queens. Why did I say seven?"

"Because, when the seal was completed, one fairy queen was excluded by the other fairy queens."

"!?" Everyone was shocked. Were they excluded?

Ais clenched her hands unconsciously, and her golden eyes showed a rare trace of hesitation.

She was the youngest fairy queen, and was the beloved sister of the other fairy queens. They could not bear to let her die with them, so they left her behind at the last moment, and the other six people paid the price of their lives to completely seal the black dragon.

The younger sister who was left alone in the world cried out in agony, but no matter how much she cried, she could not bring back her sisters' lives.

Finally, the younger sister decided to stay in the dungeon with her elder sister. But when she was cleaning up the battlefield and erecting a monument for the dead heroes, she found that... there were still people alive.

Rush to the front, transform into the sharpest sword and the strongest shield——Mercenary King Valentstein!

But when she found Valentinstein, he was already dying. In ancient times when there were no recovery potions, being dying was equivalent to waiting to die, and her sister did not have the ability to heal, so she could not heal him.

Unable to bear watching the death of this human hero, the sister decided to transfer her own blood to him, using the blood of the Fairy Queen to keep him alive!

She succeeded, and the Mercenary King Valentinstein survived.

Then they fell in love, and the Fairy Queen and the Mercenary King decided to live in the Big Cave, waiting for the hero and queen who died here in battle for the rest of their lives.

The mercenary king who obtained the blood of the queen possessed a lifespan far exceeding that of humans. Throughout the long history, he had appeared in the Great Void more than once, and had paved the way for heroes and saved the world more than once.

This is why the Mercenary King appears in most of the heroic stories circulating now, but the Mercenary King uses a pseudonym every time.

Hearing this, Ais's body trembled and her heart beat violently, and as if in response to her trembling, the god of death spoke.

"Oh, yeah, the only human hero and fairy queen who survived the battle against the black dragon is named Great Hero Albat (Valentstein's most commonly used and best-known name), and Wind Fairy Queen Arya!"

Like a heavy hammer, Loki's followers in the secret room screamed one after another, with disbelief in everyone's eyes.

"Ms. Ais... is the child of the Mercenary King and the Fairy Queen!?"

"So, Aisi's wind is the power of the Fairy Queen?"

"Ah, now it's all exposed." Loki held his head and wailed in distress. He had tried so hard to hide Ais's identity because if Ais's identity were to be revealed, it would cause a huge sensation.

"Oh, you don't seem that surprised." Thanatos was a little distressed. "I just wanted to see your surprised expression, so I told you this on purpose."

"I have roughly guessed what happened." Li Yun had seen Ai Si's identity from the epic hero tale a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He just wanted to know why these two heroes died.

A great hero who has survived thousands of years ago may be even stronger than Li Yun. Such a hero cannot die no matter what he faces.

"Fifteen years ago, the seal was shaken." As if seeing through Li Yun's doubts, Thanatos spoke again: "After the black dragon was sealed, it has been in a deep sleep. But while sleeping, its power infected the remains of the fairy queens - the queens who obtained the power of the black dragon were resurrected."

Their resurrection awakened the black dragon's slumber. The black dragon that once plunged the earth into fear began to make a riot unconsciously, and the dungeon fell into chaos.

In order to stop the black dragon's rebellion and the queens' malice, the hero and queen guarding the bottom of the dungeon attacked again.

The hero calmed the black dragon's anger, allowing it to continue sleeping; the heroine calmed the sisters' malice, allowing the seal to continue to maintain.

But Valentin and Arya, who faced the black dragon and the six queens alone, were seriously injured and would not live long.

Finally, Valentstein took the young Ai Si out of the dungeon, intending to entrust her to the people in a village.
