Wrong, my skills refresh every week

It's fine for a short time, but if the black wind state is maintained for a long time, Ai Si's sharp blade will break sooner or later.

Unfortunately, the "Divine Beast Tentacles" have a powerful regeneration effect. If it were an ordinary level 6 dragon, Aisi would have beheaded it with just a few strikes.

"So strong!"

The adventurers who witnessed Ais's solo show fell silent.

"Is this why the child is privately called "War Princess"? "

Alyse's reddened skin gradually healed under Livilia's secret treatment. She stared at the evil god and the villain standing together and smiled:

"What? Since we are all for "justice", why don't we just sit down and have a good chat? As long as we can think of a way to have the best of both worlds, we will definitely be able to reach the "ideal" we hope for."

Alfia lowered her eyes, "Don't be naive. If you can't even handle a simple touch, what else can you do?"

"Ahaha, that's true..." Alishe scratched her face: "So, like Liang has been saying, you plan to entrust your justice to us?"

"!" Liu's eyes widened: "Alyse, how can their perverse logic be called justice? Even so, the "past" they trace back has no "future"! How can such a thing circulate! "

Alixie's expression became serious: "You are wrong, Liang. Will cannot be passed on, but power will be accepted by us..."

"Like a whale that falls into the sea, it will become nutrients for all life in the underwater world, forcing life to grow."

Alixie followed with a chuckle: "Although I am confident that I will never give in in the debate on "justice", my strength is too weak. There are many things I can't do. Perhaps a random bombardment will tear me apart and I won't be able to do anything."

For the first time, Liu understood the Tyrant's true intention and stared at Alfia in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that." Alfia opened her eyes with different colors: "If you want to get nutrients from the giant whale, you have to wait until the whale falls!"

Liu lowered his head: "No. Although I feel that your actions betray the wishes of the dead. Agreeing with you is like denying those who died in the fight against this struggle."

She raised her head: "But, you also have a wish. You hope that we can shoulder the ideal of "saving the world", and we have indeed accepted it!"

Liu turned her head and stared at the dark alien that was roaring and breathing fire rain. She faced the horror and despair that she could only accept, and showed her firm will to move forward:

"Whether it's right or wrong, we will shoulder everything and then grab the possibility of our ideal and head towards the "future"!"

These are not just nice words uttered by childish elves.

"We all share the same mission, the sacrificed comrades, your sad wish, the sad wish of the world. We must shoulder everything and defeat the "greatest evil" here, along with you, Alfia!"

With his battle uniform torn to pieces and his wooden sword full of cracks, Liu took a strong step and charged towards the roaring dragon.

"..."

Time stopped for Alfia, and she turned to look at the silent Ciel.

Is this the person you have your eyes on?

"Hmph, pretty naive (stupid), right? Stubborn and full of mysophobia. With this kind of personality, if you don't die halfway, will you have a chance to become a hero?" Charles put his hands behind his back and scanned the battlefield.

Alyse replaced the spare weapon from Noin's package.

"Liang has found the answer, everyone. No matter how hopeless the future may be, even if we return to the stars one day, if we are together, we will surely be able to move forward together, and head towards the "future" together!"

"Hey, joker, does the previous bet still count?" Leila asked cunningly.

"Ah, I'm not like those bad guys." Ciel made a gesture of invitation, "Besides, I also want to see if there are any heroes in Orario who can overcome "despair". Compared to the monsters who can only rage helplessly, you who can keep growing are a better measure of my ability!"

Kaguya coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face turning from pale to rosy: "How dare you say that. I will kill you sooner or later."

"Welcome, if you can do it." Charles raised the corners of his mouth with pleasure.

Looking around at her companions, Alyse raised her sword high and shouted, "In the name of the goddess, lead 'hope' to the future of this land!"

"I swear to the sword and wings of justice!!"

Watching the girls charging towards the "greatest evil", Alfia murmured softly: "Although the goals are different, the results are surprisingly consistent."

Ciel chuckled, "Yes, after all, our goal is not the past. After all, when the promised day arrives, the so-called Age of Gods is the real "past". And what we want to promote is the "future."

……

On the high platform on the rock wall where he could see everything, Erebus began to murmur:

"It's beautiful, isn't it? The shining will of "justice", the dark truth of evil, and the "ideal" that we hope to achieve at the same time."

"Is this your purpose?" A gentle girl appeared behind Erebus.

The male god put on a helpless expression and turned around slowly.

In sight is a goddess with long walnut-colored hair and blue eyes like water.

"Ah..., I'm not surprised anymore. Astraea, are you really the goddess of justice?"

Gods are forbidden to enter the dungeon, but the goddess of justice, who upholds "order" and symbolizes "balance", actually took the initiative to break the agreement and set foot in the restricted area.

Erebus stared at the adventurers around him who were wiping out all the members of the dark faction who were protecting him: "These are the children of the Hermes family, right?"

"Yes, it was a bit chaotic, but I used the power of the children who were patrolling the city and on standby outside to come see you."

Erebus chuckled: "Are you here to punish me, goddess of justice?"

Facing Erebus's provocation, Astraea shook her head: "No, I won't do such a thing. Even if I hurt you in the labyrinth, I can't send you back to heaven."

"..." Speechless silence broke out between the two gods.

Astraea was silent for a moment, and then spoke words that only God could understand:

"I'm sure we'll be trapped in the dungeon."

If Charles was present, he would have been able to keenly detect the loopholes in Astraea's words and the key words that were deliberately concealed.

Obviously, three gods had already returned to heaven in the dungeon, so why was Erebus trapped?

The true meaning of the goddess is...

"As the god of the underground and the underworld, you must be trapped underground."

Chapter 222: Don't expose him.

"Why? Do you think that I'll be eaten by that black monster if I get hurt in the dungeon?" Erebus shrugged nonchalantly. "Are you so unconfident about your own child?"

"Or are you afraid that after I'm freed, new black monsters will be born?"

Astraea chuckled, "You know that's not what I meant."

The confrontation between good and evil lasted for a moment.

Astraea seemed to be certain that Erebus would not make any unnecessary moves, so she relaxed her guard:

"I just came to see you. I also want to witness the end of this battle with you, the "absolute evil"."

"But now it seems that the answer is obvious."

She walked to Erebus' side and looked at the scene ahead.

The roaring greatest evil, the clan charging towards the future, the strong warriors kneeling before the Overlord.

Astraea's blue eyes sparkled with stars: "Erebus, you chose "Non-Taoism", right?"

"I took the initiative to transform into "evil" and in order to give birth to "heroes of the new era", I invited the strongest families and brought trials to Orario."

He deceived everyone, sacrificed everyone, and sacrificed the fate of himself and others.

This is the whole story of this incident and the truth.

Astraea thought so.

however……

"That was true at the beginning." Erebus laughed sadly like a clown, "But halfway through, our allies betrayed us."

"!?" The goddess's expression of seeing through everything changed subtly.

Erebus stared at the man standing in the center of the battlefield, wearing a cloak and holding an iron mace.

"Asteria, do you know? Chardo's poison... has been cured." Erebus told the truth lightly.

As if in response to his words, the ceiling of the dungeon began to shake violently. It was a terrifying pressure coming from the ground. Even Rivera, who had crossed 18 floors, could feel it clearly.

"That [Gluttony]... has no weakness?" Astraea exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Although I know that Chardo has broken through to level 8, that is just a matter of course. According to the information obtained from the guild, he had already met the conditions for upgrading when he defeated Behemoth.

I thought I just needed to adjust my body a little, or, since I was going to die anyway, I might as well take the risk and jump over the goal post to give out more experience.

But unexpectedly, the answer I got was "completely cured".

Erebus said with a malicious look: "So, even for the sake of the future, there is no need to sacrifice a Tyrant who has the hope of reaching level 9 to breed a level 7."

“The purpose has completely changed after this turning point.”

"!" Astraea's pupils dilated.

"You guessed it." Erebus tilted his head: "Yes, that's right. This is a simple devastation, not created by God, but an epic that was forcibly tampered with by the will of an "individual"."

"Even if you kill me here, you can't stop everything."

He chuckled: "Although it's ridiculous, I am indeed just an insignificant decoration now. I even have to use "that condition" to make me feel a little bit involved."

Although Astraea did not understand the details, she looked at the God of the Underworld with a bright smile:

"But you must be very happy. Because the "hero" you have been waiting for has appeared."

Erebus' smile faded, but he couldn't suppress it, "No. He, Joker, is definitely not a hero."

"How can a person who has taken away the lives of many people, selfishly tampered with the fate of others, and used all means to become the strongest be considered a hero?"

Erebus tells of the evil ways that Ciel has practiced.

"Why not call him 'Hero'?"

Astraea also looked towards the battlefield: "But isn't that selfish, ugly, and noble evil something you are responsible for?"

According to the original blueprint, Erebus, who controls everything, naturally cannot be called righteous. It is just that the god uses his status above everything to wantonly play with the lower world and entertain himself as he pleases.

But the situation is completely different now.

Even if he carries all the sins, the "evil" that concentrates hatred on himself will never accept glorification. But...

"Then let me, the goddess of justice, make the decision."

Astraea's blue eyes that see through everything reveal the truth: "His evil is a 'necessary evil', a 'muddy staircase' that must be stepped on in order to reach the ultimate 'ideal'."

"That child's ideals are really great."

"Puchi..." Erebus looked at Astraea who had a gentle smile on her face:

"How cruel! You make me look like a clown. I want to maintain the cool demeanor of a shady person."

"It's really boring to be exposed so quickly."

"I don't care about this kind of thing." Astraea curled her eyes: "At least Ciel-kun knows his position very well."

"Ah, I was completely outdone by the kid."

The goddess saw through the Joker's identity, and when Astraea heard Erebus talk about his ideals, she realized that someone had said something similar to her before.

She was just surprised why the child grew up so fast and why he suddenly set his sights on the end.

Maybe it's because of Belle that the child feels such pressure.

Astraea would not condemn Ciel's actions, nor would she punish him with the so-called "justice" of the underworld.

At least, from what Astraea herself knew, during the Great Struggle, the number of people that Ciel promoted and indirectly saved was no less than that of others.

But the children who cannot see the "truth" cannot understand him.

They only saw that many people died, but they didn't know that if it weren't for Charles, three times as many people would have died.

The gods who have not been able to reach the "future" will also sneer.

A foolish and arrogant clown who wants to shoulder the future alone will never be able to gain fame or be praised, and may even be infamous for eternity.

That was not the heroic myth they expected.

The gods of good and evil who were watching the battle simultaneously cast their sympathetic gazes on the unruly young man.

"It's so pitiful..."

"I will continue to bear the darkness until I fulfill my sad wish in the underworld..."

Erebus turned to the goddess and said, "Can you promise me one thing, Astraea?"
