"My Lord...if you are not careful, you will die too. After all, you are targeting God. This is the inevitable result." Witt narrowed his eyes.

Erebus glanced at the "tentacles of the mythical beast" that were spitting out a lot of sparks and breath, and raised the corners of his mouth:

"Okay, this is the last mission. Send me to Alfea."

The dark faction soldiers and cadres who received divine will could not help but tremble, and then performed their duties as martyrs.

Under the rain of hellfire bombs, they stood up and guarded the god's escape route.

……

battlefield.

"Oh, you brought something better than I expected. Although I thought it would be useless when I heard the plan..., but this is a monster that even I have never seen. The dungeon is indeed a treasure trove of the "unknown"."

The flickering red light illuminated Alfia's fair skin, and she commented on the "biggest evil monster" with a look of "how many punches can it take".

And in contrast to that.

The adventurers were sweating profusely. The "tentacles of the divine beast" wrapped in black and red flames made the temperature of the floor rise sharply.

The indiscriminate red lotus fire pierced and shattered the earth countless times.

"Damn it, there's Alfia who can't be ignored!"

"You have no idea how to stop yourself. If you keep digging holes, the floor will collapse!"

Grace and Livilia, who could not leave the battlefield, had worried looks on their faces.

……

Astraea clan battlefield.

“Don’t look back…”

Ciel, who was holding Ais's sword, smiled playfully and interrupted the little girl's attempt to turn back.

"Why?" Staring at the micro-expression under Ciel's mask, Ais suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity...

"Have we met?"

Charles nodded: "Yeah, at the potato ball stand."

"Yeah. Got it." Aisi nodded: "What's behind me? A monster, rushing towards me?"

"Yes, it's a dragon!"

"Dragon?" Aisi's eyes narrowed. "We must kill it. All the monsters that bring pain and tears to everyone must be killed!"

"Can't I eat it?" Charles stared at the back of Ai Si and licked his lips: "The black dragon tastes pretty good..."

Aisi's eyes widened and her breathing stopped at that moment.

An unbelievable thought flashed through my mind, and a familiar and kind figure overlapped with the man in front of me.

Her whole body was trembling abnormally. In an instant, countless questions piled up in Aisi's mind, too many doubts she wanted to ask.

Why are you doing this? Why are you bringing suffering to everyone?

However, all these problems are completely unimportant to the little girl...

"You are...? Why?"

"Hmm?" Charles loosened his fingers around the Sword of Despair. "What do you mean?"

"Two months..." Ais lowered her head, her fingers turning pale as she pinched the hilt of the sword. She raised her head tremblingly, stared at Charles in disbelief and repeated, "Why?!!!"

Ciel put one hand in his pocket and stared at the girl who seemed to have been abandoned by her companions. "As for the reason, I should have told you just now."

Ciel took a deep breath and focused his eyes: "To become the strongest!"

"No..." Aisi grabbed Ciel's collar, her eyes filled with unfathomable desire and unwillingness: "Why did you surpass me and become so strong in just two months?!"

Clearly, two months ago, he was still a newbie who couldn't even wield a sword. How come in just two months, he evolved to a level far beyond her!

Ciel was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Compared to other things, do you care about this?"

"Tell me?!" Ai Si puffed up her face.

She clearly said that she wanted to be number one in the world, so why did she surpass herself so easily?

"Tell me the secret!"

Ciel closed one eye and placed his index finger on his lips, "Shh, do you want to know?"

"Uh-huh."

"Do you still remember the agreement?"

"Keep it a secret!" Aisi nodded honestly.

Ciel chuckled and spread his hands. "Isn't the method obvious? Join the side of evil and keep fighting the strong! Absorb the experience and skills of the strong, use everything around you, keep sharpening, and keep crossing your limits."

Ai Si tilted her head: "Can this make me stronger as quickly as you?"

"Of course not." Ciel held Ais's shoulders and said, "Only by overcoming the despair that is enough to overturn your mind can you achieve a great feat that transcends everything... and this is something that Orario and Loki can't give you."

"Remember, the gem dragon?" Charles said in Ais's ear, then slowly turned her body.

"Did you see it? Such a great feat... Come on, thank the three top brothers from the dark faction for sending us the huge experience pack."

“…………Hoo, hoo…………!!”

Ais's body was stiff, her eyes staring directly at the roaring "divine beast tentacles". She gripped the sword in her hand so tightly that it creaked, and she completely lost herself.

"That...that is..."

Chapter 220 Prove to Us

As if seeing an enemy, Ais overlapped the figure of the "dragon" with something in her sad wish. The girl's delicate face twisted, revealing pure anger and murderous intent.

"Come, recall it." Charles' devilish whisper echoed in Ais's ears: "Recall the feeling at that time."

It was like the magic power of a storm, flickering and surging in the little chest.

A dark storm surrounded Ais.

"That's..., that's..." Aisi gasped, with uncontrollable emotions washing over her mind.

Charles slowly leaned over, and moved his lips gently beside Ais's ear:

"Yes, that's... an experience pack."

"Eh?" Ai Si, who was gradually lost, suddenly had a clear mind.

The scene from my drunken dream two months ago flashed through my mind again: a giant black dragon, a breath that tore the earth apart, and huge wings emitting black particles.

In the end, the huge dragon head was cut off by a sword.

"Look, what a beautiful posture and powerful strength. Loki can never give you something like this that can make you stronger quickly." Charles took two steps back, away from Ais who was caught in the black wind.

"Don't you want to know how to become stronger? Roar and wail. If your sword is broken, use your teeth. If your blood runs dry, devour the monster's flesh and blood. Use everything around you and defeat it alone. Then you will become stronger than everyone else!"

Ciel's expression became serious: "Tread down everything that hinders your progress and turn it into the cornerstone for reaching the top. This is the secret to becoming stronger!"

“Ah… Ahhhhhhhh——” Aisi’s golden eyes were stained with darkness. Her anger towards Sad Wish and her desire to become stronger completely overwhelmed the girl’s sanity.

The flashing silver sword tore the burning monster in front of it, and a whirlwind flashed by, shattering its body, and burning flesh and blood fragments of flames flew everywhere.

In front of the astonished Astraea family and others, the black sword wind released powerful magic power and cut off all the monsters.

"It's in the way, it's in the way, it's in the way! Get out of here!"

"Ais! Wait!" Livilia screamed loudly, but her eyes were glaring at Charles: "What on earth did you say to Ais?!"

She suddenly remembered the mysterious person who had bewitched Aisi into entering the dangerous floor a few months ago.

"It's you! Joker, what is your purpose?"

Ciel stared at the Berserker who cut off the falling black flame fireball with one blow in front of him, and said arrogantly:

"Seeing this, don't you understand? [Nine Demon Princesses], you are overly doting on your children. You have put shackles on your excellent children based on your own standards. You have long been stuck in the happy dream woven by the gods. Staying where you are, don't use your lazy thoughts to interfere with the development of the next generation."

Livilia suppressed her anger: "What do you want to say?"

Alfia chuckled: "Of course it's 'disappointment'."

"disappointment?"

"...Look, that's it. That's the 'power of the deprived'. The roar leading to the pinnacle that can only be obtained in front of that terror and despair." Alfia stared at the little girl who raised a dark storm and kept tearing apart the tentacles of the 'greatest evil', and sighed:

"What a terrifying power, the Dark Wind. No wonder Hera wanted it."

"...!?"

Liu covered his shoulder and climbed up: "So, what is your purpose? As former heroes, why did you fall into evil! "

Alfia glanced at the blond elf who was showing an abnormal mysophobia and chuckled, "It seems that you have been affected a lot, new face."

She turned back to stare at the four Flame Gold Warriors and Grace who were taking a breath and resting, and spoke calmly about the reality:

“People in the past have also experienced negative chains, and what I am showing now is just a drop in the bucket.

After countless sacrifices, the chosen ones can reach the front! They can defeat the "Black Dragon"! The world will end!"

Ciel came to stand behind Alfia, staring at the girls waving the flag of justice, and sighed:

"Since the gods came to the mortal world, the world has been in a state of stagnation for a thousand years. After the demise of Zeus and Hera's family, this stagnation has shown a trend of regression."

"If you want to stay where you are, you have to keep running, but if you want to move forward, you have to run at twice the speed."

"So, our goal is simple... If you don't run fast enough, we'll put a scary monster behind you. To stay alive, you'll use all your strength and swing your legs as hard as you can."

"If you fall behind, you will become food for the monster, making it faster! Then you will chase after the stronger ones until the last hero is born and defeats the disaster beast that keeps chasing the "end." "

Alfia said in a shocking voice: "So we have to turn back the clock and let the world enter the "Heroic Age" again!"

Liu gritted his teeth: "What do you think of human life?!"

Kaguya roared: "You want to turn back the clock...? You want to destroy the world of today and bring back the 'heroes of the ancient times'? You are crazy!"

"Oh, really? I think their wishes are quite decent."

With Ais holding Erebus back and escorting him to a safe place, [Faceless Man] Witt arrived late and replaced Charles on the battlefield.

He said jokingly in a calm tone:

"After all, in order to protect the world and to save the world, although the means and processes are slightly different, the purpose is the same as yours."

"!" Liu's eyes widened.

"Damn, so stupid!" Kaguya cursed Alfia's inefficient and stupid behavior.

Charles narrowed his eyes: "If you can't empathize with me, then isn't there a statue of despair in front of you that you can't overcome?"

"If you want to refute what we say, then show it to us." Alfia didn't want to just argue with those girls who always uphold justice and stand on the highest moral ground.

"Show me the power above that. Prove to me that you have the power to overcome despair."

"Be like that girl, with your will, your awareness, and your justice! Bet everything you have on me to prove myself as the [Absolute Evil]!!"

Livilia stared at Ais in silence...

"Nizel, roar like a storm!" Aisi's slash turned into six wind fangs that bit the dragon scales and gnawed at the flesh inside.

The pitch-black wind was so fast that even the regenerative ability could not catch up with it, and it destroyed and cut into the dragon's body.

"We have suppressed the greatest evil monster..., but..."

Seeing how Ais, who was only at level 3, could produce such horrific results, Livilia might have already accepted Charles's sophistry in her heart.

She didn't understand Aisi, even though they had been together for more than a year, she didn't even understand Aisi as well as the man in front of her.

Even this black wind was the first time she had seen it, and it was the first time she understood how terrible power could be unleashed from a girl's small body.

but……

“Stop…” Livilia’s eyes trembled as she remained calm. “Stop, or your body will break into pieces!”

Chapter 221 Carrying Everyone's Sad Wish

Ais's wind magic is similar to Alfia's sound barrier magic. While increasing destructive power and output without limit, it fails to improve one's physical fitness at the same time.

Even if he could rely on his absolute destructive power to resist attacks from the outside world, he could not stop the storm from eroding his body.
