Roland waved the Esther in his hand silently, leaving only scattered ashes and fallen purple crystals wherever he passed.

A huge stream of light was released from the sword of Roland walking in front, sweeping across continuously, and any monster blocking the front was torn into pieces, leaving a huge crack in the air.

The remaining adventurers spread out on the flanks, clearing out the scattered monsters, and soon the main road was cleared.

"What an unreasonable power..."

Behind Roland, someone sighed in a low voice.

Although no one would look down upon Roland after the previous incident with the Apollo Familia, they still couldn't completely let go when they saw the fairy and the hero together.

Although the expedition members could not be said to have perfect tacit understanding, those who were able to participate in this expedition, even those in charge of logistics, were all at level 3. The number of level adventurers at the forefront had a crushing effect on the exploration progress.

Therefore, after less than a day of running-in, the expedition team reached the 37th floor with great momentum.

"The floor master has not been refreshed. It seems that this is not a change in the dungeon itself, but an external factor."

Arriving at the boss room, Finn's expression relaxed.

It's not that the existence of the floor master would cause any trouble. In front of such a luxurious lineup as the expedition team, the floor master of the thirty-seventh floor is really nothing. Even if he is strengthened like the one Roland encountered last time, he can't pose any threat.

The floor owner that was cleared by Roland and Ai Si less than a week ago has not been refreshed yet. This at least proves that the dungeon played the role of an accomplice at most in this incident.

This news couldn't be better for the expedition team.

After all, Orario is still a long way from conquering the dungeon.

"Our goal this time is at least the 59th floor. We have to speed up our progress."

Roland continued to walk forward slowly. The deeper he went into the underground, the fewer traces of adventurers he saw. Monsters infected with purple crystals were everywhere, and they looked a little dim under the dim light of the dungeon itself.

"With so much equipment, we spent more time on the road than on clearing monsters."

Finn didn't care. Even though this expedition had more people than any other, with the open supply of the Tower of Babel, precious first-level equipment, elixirs, and magic swords were all brought in by the truckload. The adventurers at the front could use the resources without any scruples.

After marching for an unknown number of days, the logistics team could no longer forcefully follow the expedition team, and forcing them to move forward would only add to the burden.

At this moment, those who can still follow Roland stably are all famous adventurers in Orario.

There are many familiar faces among them, including a few from Loki's family and those from Freya's family.

Although they looked at Roland with the same expression as Bert, they did not do anything unnecessary and obeyed Roland's orders.

But at ordinary times, they always gathered around the strong man who was as strong as an iron tower and was in the lead.

However, what surprised Roland was that the once strongest man in Orario treated him very normally. This was not a disguise. For Roland, who could read other people's emotions, he could feel that Ota's attitude was consistent.

He is not jealous or enthusiastic, and always treats everything around him with a calm attitude as if he is completing a task. As a tool man, he can be called outstanding.

When facing the monsters on the 58th floor, the opponent perfectly intercepted all the monsters on the flanks, proving that his reputation as a fierce warrior was not just boasting.

"These cannon dragons are really troublesome."

Tiona sighed and looked at Ai Si with some envy, who shuttled back and forth in the sea of ​​fire several times but remained neat and tidy.

"That's great. I also want to get guidance from a hero."

Since her last return, Aisi's progress has become more and more obvious, and she has become easier and easier to get along with in daily communication. The person who caused the change in Aisi is obviously no secret.

"At least you should use your sword first before you say such things. With such a wild fighting style, I can't teach you anything even if I want to. Besides, isn't this already good enough? During previous expeditions, we were always defeated by these guys who could launch attacks from the bottom in advance."

Tione knocked on her sister's head in annoyance, and looked at the surroundings that had turned into a scorched earth with lingering fear. She could still vaguely see the remnants of the red lotus-like flames.

The deeper you go in the dungeon, the more peculiar the monsters are. Although they are monsters on the 58th floor, they can jump across several floors and launch sniper attacks with huge fireballs in advance. Moreover, they do not fire one by one, but roar like an army. The blast alone is enough to make people drink a pot.

If the adventurers present were not the elite among the elites, and if Roland had not blocked most of the fireballs by himself and moved freely in the flames, there would be no way the expedition team would have reached the 58th floor so quickly.

However, this speed is relative.

The time it took to reach the fifty-eighth floor from the fifty-second floor was longer than the time it took them to reach the fifty-second floor from the first floor.

"The supply of panacea is sufficient, and the magic sword was only consumed a little when we encountered the cannon dragon."

Finn walked up to Roland and spoke softly.

"The guild has also conducted a detailed check on the route map to the 59th floor. At this rate, we will soon be able to reach the staircase leading to the 59th floor. The only thing that worries me is that, up to now, we have not seen any traces related to the culprit of the disaster."

"Don't worry, Finn. The monsters driven by the culprit are like man-eating plants. When they gather in groups, the noise they cause will definitely not be less than those cannon dragons. Moreover, from the monsters we encountered before that spontaneously gathered together to act, it can be seen that we are getting closer and closer to the target..."

Casually kicking away the materials blocking his way, Roland led the way in the cave, which seemed somewhat empty after the monsters were cleared away.

"call……"

But after walking a few steps, Roland suddenly stopped and sighed. He clenched Esther in his hand and swung it violently towards the empty space under his feet!

The sacred sword light easily pierced through the ground and reached the lower layer. In the crack, among the gravel and dust that spread to both sides, several severed vines that were oozing with purple-black liquid as sticky as blood also surged out and fell to the ground. They kept twisting and circling their bodies like living things.

"There are enemies!"

This hidden and deliberate ambush was beyond the scope of ordinary monsters. Amid Finn's roar, everyone in the expedition team raised their weapons and stared at the ground beneath their feet vigilantly.

But only Roland remained unmoved and continued to stare at the empty space ahead.

"What a terrible intuition..."

As if it knew that hiding was useless, a carnivorous plant lifted up the surrounding soil and crawled out, with a strange man growing on the top.

His lower body was connected to the Piranha Plant beneath him, just like the previous Baozhu fetus, but his aura was much weaker. He was wearing a white robe and had a rather sinister face.

"It's just because you're too stupid. It's a good idea to merge your body into a monster to hide, but just hiding behind the scenes and using the virus to manipulate the monster's body is safe, but can't it be seen through at a glance?"

Roland shook the holy sword in his hand and looked at the man in front of him with disgust.

"I see." The man in white robe was stunned for a moment, his brows gradually furrowed, and then he smiled contentedly. "She is indeed a hero who can kill Rui Weisi. Although I hate her condescending look, she is indeed far better than me in her acceptance of the void and her combat capability."

"Well, as a reward for your progress all the way here, I will admit that you are also outstanding among the old humans. However, no matter how outstanding you are, you are nothing in front of the new world, in front of this feast that will lead the evolution of all life in the world."

The man in the white robe said with some regret in a conscientious tone: "So, why don't you just wait patiently? This is clearly a sacrifice for the world and for all mankind! It is the supreme honor!"

The arrogant and conceited tone made Roland frown impatiently.

This is the kind of face he hates the most. If they have to sacrifice, then they have to sacrifice. It is nothing to let all of humanity turn into crystals of the Apocalypse virus. There are so many people who are planning to destroy the world anyway, so one more won't make a difference.

Roland could barely accept that the state of transforming all old humans into soul crystals could be called evolution, but this condescending attitude and the arrogance of "this is for your own good" were really disgusting.

Arrogant, conceited, and superior, Roland possessed these qualities as well. He never considered himself a good person, but there was one thing that made him completely opposite to the guy in front of him.

Roland loves humans, but that doesn't stop him from creating a kingdom, ruling, and enslaving all humans. When necessary, such as when he needs to transcend fate, he doesn't mind using the evil of this world to devour all of humanity to complete himself.

However, he would never say anything like this kind of sacrifice was worth it. He would always talk about the future of mankind and pretend to be the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, thinking that he was the only savior. This self-righteous attitude made Roland feel sick every time he encountered it.

Seeing the disgust on Roland's face, the man in white robes put on an even more annoying smile. He clapped his hands lightly, and huge vines stretched across the wall, constantly emerging, and soon turned everything around into a green flesh wall.

Then, in this large cave-like cavity, countless flower buds of various sizes emerged strangely and hung down. With a disgusting sticky sound, the flowers hanging on the flesh wall began to bloom quietly.

The colorful flowers bloomed neatly, then slid down like newborn babies, hitting the ground and crawling towards the expedition team from all directions.

In just a blink of an eye, the surroundings suddenly turned into a nursery for carnivorous plants!

But in such an uncomfortable scene, most people's attention was still attracted by the purple crystal column slowly rising behind the man in white robe.

Different from the purple-black color of ordinary virus crystals, this one is crystal clear all over, with a hazy glow like mist.

"Then, everything should end here, Sword Hero. Since you are also favored by the fairy spirit, if you are willing to offer that fairy spirit, it is not impossible to reserve a seat for you in the new world."

After the purple crystal pillar appeared, the man in white robe had a look of overwhelming confidence on his face. He didn't care even though the army of the carnivorous plants could only barely hold back the expedition team and were soon being eliminated one after another by the people led by Finn and Ota.

However, the message revealed in his words still stunned the expedition team.

"Does he also have the favor of the immortal spirit?"

They subconsciously turned their eyes to Roland who was holding the holy sword.

"How is it, are you moved?"

The man in white robe looked at Roland, secretly guarding against his every move. After all, he was a strong man who could kill Rui Weisi, so he should be careful.

But even so, he remained absolutely confident in his ultimate weapon. He was the only servant beside the queen and the leader of evolution in this sad old world.

And when all life in the old world has evolved, he will become the God of the new world!

Facing the white-robed man's solicitation, Roland just sneered.

"Children's words are innocent, and it's fun to listen to them occasionally. But how dare you have any ideas about my things, you bastard!"

The next second, just as Roland finished his words, blood-red flames covered the entire sword of Esther. The deep sword light meandered in the air, and turned into a red waterfall in mid-air and rushed out from his hand, like a wandering dragon. While roaring, it swallowed the upper body of the carnivorous plant and the white-robed man above its head in one bite!

"Ahhhh——!"

The Piranha Plant, which was unable to dodge, took the blow hard. The burning pain from its soul caused its lower body to split open, turning into a big mouth, and letting out a shrill roar.

His development direction is different from that of Revisited. Using his skills as a tamer and the characteristics of the Apocalypse Virus, he can hide in a safe area and control monsters to do whatever he wants.

He had always believed that this was the wisest approach compared to fighting in person. However, since it was a connection that could provide perfect feedback between vision and action, it naturally had flaws.

Once the monster is seriously injured and he fails to escape in time, the pain will be returned to him in full.

This is a lv7 Piranha Plant, how come it can't even escape! Are all the adventurers in Orario monsters?

"Fortunately, it's just the main perspective that's broken."

Roland's attack only wiped out most of his body. With the vitality of the Piranha Plant, it would not die immediately, and he still had a chance to launch a powerful killing move.

"Damn it, you guys forced me to do this! Die, you despicable old life, and welcome the coming of the Apocalypse!"

Before his connection with the Piranha Plant was completely destroyed by the scorching sword light and before the purgatory-like pain descended upon his soul, the man in white activated the purple crystal behind him and let out a roar.

"——I will broadcast this wave of despair to the whole world!"

Then, the crystal shone brightly and directly connected to the 59th floor. An invisible wave suddenly appeared, sweeping across everything around it, spreading straight upwards and rushing straight to the surface.

"what!"

Finn, who had just killed a carnivorous plant, subconsciously cried out in pain, touched his neck, then raised his head and looked at the purple crystal with disbelief.

The purple crystal that suddenly appeared on his neck was clearly reflected on the other person's smooth surface.

Chapter 154 My King's Power!

At the moment when that obscure wave passed by, the crystals in the bodies of anyone infected with the Apocalypse virus would instantly become active, completely devouring the host's body, allowing the crystallization to spread throughout the body until it shattered and turned into powder and disappeared.

In previous investigations, as long as the symptoms of crystallization appeared, the disease was basically considered hopeless. Even the highest-grade panacea could only barely suppress it and prolong its life. To produce a drug that could alleviate the symptoms, one must have rare talents like Dionysus, as well as sufficient samples and time.

The fact that Finn and the others showed symptoms of crystallization only at such a close distance was already proof of their abnormal souls and bodies after continuous upgrading.

The spread of this wave had not yet stopped, and before Roland could attack, the purple crystal shattered on its own, turning into a dazzling beam of light that, as if it had no substance, penetrated through the underground layers one by one, as if it was going to pierce the sky.

Then, even more terrifying waves spread out from the light column.

Coming out from the beam of light was a muddy and monotonous singing voice.

“aaa——aa——”

The tune contained frequencies that were simply incomprehensible to humans. In addition to being simply harsh, it also carried a feeling of anxiety. Even Roland felt a little upset, and Bert, an already manic guy, seemed even more violent after covering the infected area.

"Ahhh!"

Even for high-level adventurers, screams were heard one after another. Compared to the injuries sustained in battle, the pain caused by the flesh and blood turning into crystals and sticking to the body and constantly eroding it was worse than many tortures.

"Drink the panacea quickly, at least to ensure the combat strength as much as possible!"

"Calm down, the virus isn't spreading that fast!"

Finn, Riveria and others did not care about their injuries and began to try their best to calm the emotions of their companions. At this time, Gareth also showed the irritability of a dwarf. He had rushed to the attack who was still uneasy. Standing in front of Bert, who was staring at the surrounding wall, he knocked him down with a punch and began to forcefully pour the potion into his mouth.

Roland didn't care about all that at the moment. Instead, he stared intently at the beam of light in front of him, watching the scene emerging from the layers of colors.

That was, looking down at the city from the sky, from a god-like perspective. When the song symbolizing the apocalypse came, the world fell into mourning.

Countless lives quickly crystallized and broke into powder, which floated everywhere like snowflakes, but were gathered into the air by invisible forces. In the face of the disaster that began to destroy cities, the sky was soon dyed a turbid and dark color. The sunlight was blocked by these powders and could only reflect a blurry light.

Purple rivers like long snakes rushed towards Orario with twists and turns, gradually merging into the purple light column.

At this moment, a variety of complicated emotions suddenly descended upon Roland.

Fear, malice, numbness, joy, sadness... countless malicious, negative emotions stimulated the rapid growth of the evils of this world that were emitted with the divine wine. Although due to the insufficient number of individuals, they could not escape the influence of this upstream flow.

But in an environment composed of countless soul fragments, these greedy guys still ate their fill, grew rapidly, and fed back the sin and pain to Roland.

Feeling the negative emotions filling my mind, like the sins that are constantly washing away my will and soul like a whetstone.

Looking at this scene, Roland's eyes narrowed and he made a sound like he was talking in a dream.

"What a cliché ending. So cliché that it makes people despair."

The singing continued and became louder and louder. The sheep power in Roland's body also kept flickering. As the singing continued, it was no longer a simple awakening of the dormant virus and making it active. Instead, it used sound as a medium to distort the genes in uninfected people.
