Chapter 269 Obsessed
In Aaron's line of sight, Fiona and the [Evil God] disappeared.
Space Transfer. It was obvious they had moved.
But because of that, fear pierced through Aaron from head to toe.
"~~~~~!!?"
Where did they teleport to?
If they were outside the labyrinth, there would be no way to find them. It would be too late. Can Fiona defeat the [Evil God] alone? He didn't know!!
Then, what would happen to Fiona!?
His mind was racing with anxiety, fear, and confusion.
He wanted to run around in a panic.
However, doing that now would mean nothing. Fiona had already been taken away.
"──Calm down!!!!!"
He shouted. To himself.
And he desperately tried to think.
"It should still be okay...!!"
He couldn't believe that Fiona would be taken in by the [Evil God] without resistance. That couldn't be true.
Also, the chances of the [Evil God] going to the surface were low.
"That's right, Lucia said it, didn't she!!"
Lucia had said that the [Evil God] had 2 things she was obsessed with.
The first was "Fiona."
In other words, the backdoor jobs needed to reconnect with the [God Realm].
And the second was the 'Terraformer.'
That is, the labyrinth itself.
For the [Evil God] to fulfill her goal of "replicating humanity," the 'Terraformer' series was absolutely essential. Currently, there were other 'Terraformers' still operational besides 007, but their numbers were few.
And just having one 'Terraformer' isn't enough to replicate all of humanity and have them live there. Even if she restores the connection to the [God Realm] and greatly expand the computing resources, it still won't be enough.
That's why the [Evil God] must protect the 'Terraformer.'
She can't just leave an intruder in the 'Administrator Area' deep within the labyrinth, which exists in the [Physical God Realm], and let them come to the surface.
In fact, even if the space inside the labyrinth is distorted, it is definitely going deeper and deeper underground, and the 'Administrator's Throne' floating in the 'Administrator Area' corresponds to the buried body of 'Terrafomer007' deep underground in the real world.
In short, if we enter the 'Administrator Area,' it would be possible to forcibly destroy 'Terrafomer007.'
And that's why the [Evil God] won't allow that, and Aaron and the others were confident that by conquering the labyrinth, they would be able to meet the [Evil God].
The exploration for this subjugation was not based on the guess that "the [Evil God] is probably at the lowest floor," but on the certainty that "no matter where the [Evil God] is, if they reach the lowest floor, she will show herself.
So, there's no way that it would leave them here and come out.
In a way, Aaron and the others are holding 'Terrafomer007' as a hostage.
After thinking that far, Aaron regained a bit of calm and focused all his energy on [magical energy sense].
In the detection range, there is no magical energy from Fiona or the [Evil God]. However, he can sense the direction where the [Evil God]'s magical energy was projected to teleport somewhere.
Even though the [Physical God Realm] is vast, its size is limited by the specs of the 'Terraformer.'
If he chases, he should be able to catch up.
So.
"────You're in the way."
With a furious expression, Aaron muttered just that.
Surrounding Aaron were the fake goddesses, rushing in to attack him.
At the same time he whispered, Aaron released his aura.
My unique sword technique────[Calamity Thunder]
BOOOMMMM────!!!
Black lightning erupted radially from Aaron, and the air that was pierced by it roared with a thunderous sound.
The fake goddesses engulfed by the lightning were blown away, suffering only minor damage.
As soon as the distance opened up, he switched weapons through the ring. In his hand was "Black Radiance." He struck down with it, but delicately infused it with his aura.
──Clang!!
At that moment, "Black Radiance" transformed into a "platinum sword," and Aaron swung the sword carelessly.
My ultimate technique────[Extreme Flame Absolute Blossom]
The sword had vanished from his hand.
However, it didn't completely disappear like a [Slash]. The "platinum sword" instantly broke into countless pieces, gliding through the air like falling cherry blossoms.
Its form was a collection of small blades──[Continuous Blade]
Sliding through the air, the platinum [Continuous Blades] rushed towards the fake goddesses with a speed that was faster than it looked. In the next moment──,
"""────!?"""
Clang!
They collided in pairs right in front of the fake goddesses.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
Multiple sounds echoed in a chain. At the same time, the collided [Continuous Blades] began to devour each other, compressing into a tiny, tiny point of light in an instant.
──The internal pressure exceeded the critical point and reversed.
What happened next was an explosion.
Beautiful platinum flames bloomed like flowers──but contained within them was a terrifying heat and destructive power, a fire of death.
These flames engulfed all the fake goddesses surrounding Aaron in a dazzling light.
And then, a shockwave and horrifying radiant heat burst outwards.
What Aaron did was simple. He split the [Dragon-Slayer Flash] into countless small pieces and caused them to devour each other, triggering an explosion.
However, even Cain and Logan wouldn't be able to replicate it. The "platinum sword" that the Chronosphere called the third materia is extremely difficult to control. No one has ever been able to perform such precise operations before.
──The fake goddesses swallowed by the flames evaporated in an instant.
However, while this is indeed a powerful technique, it has conditions for use. If the distance between enemies and allies, or even oneself, is not sufficient, it could end up harming allies or even oneself, making it not something to use lightly.
Ignoring the countless ripples beginning to form beneath him after wiping out the enemies with such a technique, Aaron simply said,
"────."
──[Flash Strike]
Aaron began to move at an incredible speed.
He knew the direction the magical energy for the teleportation was heading. With all his strength, Aaron flew through the air toward that direction.
Behind him, a thin layer of water covering the ground of the [Physical God Realm] shattered violently from the shockwave, sending up splashes.
Even at such a speed, the enemy did not let Aaron escape.
──Teleportation.
Suddenly, a group of fake goddesses appeared a few hundred meters ahead of Aaron's path, moving at an incredible speed.
Among the already transformed fake goddesses, who had taken on a pitch-black appearance with heavy attributes, there were 5 who emitted a pale blue glow.
──'Sword Saint Cain'
Seeing that Cain and the others, who hadn't been there a moment ago, had respawned, Aaron felt certain.
The opponents he thought were [Evil Gods] were just fakes created by the labyrinth to replace the 5 Cains.
He felt frustration at being tricked. He also felt anger toward the [Evil God] who deceived him.
However, Aaron swallowed those feelings and focused on taking action without wasting any time.
──Clang!!
He instantly transformed the newly drawn "Black Radiance" into a "Platinum Sword."
It was less than 2 seconds from the moment he appeared until he clashed with the Cains, who had already activated [God's Body]. In that short time, as the Cains with their own "Platinum Swords" unleashed [Dragon-Slaying Flash: Invisible Ruin], Aaron swung his sword as well.
My ultimate technique────[Slash]
A burst of invisible slashes cut through the 5 [Dragon-Slayer Flash] attacks, and then sliced apart the 5 Kains on the other side into pieces.
As Aaron passed by, the shattered pieces of the [Dragon-Slayer Flash] lost control and exploded.
Meanwhile, the fake goddesses hadn't taken down a single one.
The number of invisible slashes is not infinite. Though they can't be seen, their number is limited, and as more targets appear, the number of slashes assigned to each target decreases.
Therefore, Aaron focused on neutralizing only the dangerous Cains.
About 3 hundred fake goddesses unleashed a massive magic attack to stop Aaron's advance. However, he ignored all of it and broke through the crowd of fake goddesses.
"""────!?"""
The fake goddesses couldn't keep up with the full-speed [Flash Strike]. The magic they cast exploded uselessly behind Aaron.
Leaving the fake goddesses behind, Aaron soared into the air.
Yet still, the fake goddesses and the respawned Cains stubbornly teleported in front of Aaron again and again.
Each time, Aaron unleashed a [Slash] to cut through the group of fake goddesses.
How many times had he repeated this?
Eventually, a horrifyingly massive magical energy touched Aaron's [magical energy sense].
"──!? Found it...!!"
Without a doubt, it was the magical energy of the [Evil God].
Aaron hurriedly flew toward the source of that magical energy.
