Chapter 1811
by 林方方Chapter 1811 The Taste of Emotions
Yuzhi Longbai looked at the blood-stained ground before him and waved his hand to put away the beheading blade.
“That should do it…”
Just as Yuzhi Longbai was about to turn and leave, his footsteps suddenly halted mid-air.
He turned his head in confusion and saw a doorway standing in the pool of blood. The shape of the doorway kept changing, clearly a passage between the real world and the game world.
Yuzhi Longbai seemed to hear something and sighed helplessly, “I know, I know… I’ll let you out right now.”
He walked to the doorway, turned the handle, and with a soft click, the door slowly opened…
A young girl stepped across the threshold, walking out from the game world.
She took a deep breath,
“Ahh… it’s been so long since I breathed real air. Being human is much more comfortable.” Ai Meimei couldn’t help but remark.
“Why did you come out now?”
“I’m here to help you!”
“Help me?” Yuzhi Longbai glanced at Apollo’s scattered remains in the pool of blood. “But I’ve already dealt with him.”
“Not him… there’s something else here.”
Ai Meimei spoke with certainty.
Her nose sniffed the air, quickly finding a direction, and she walked briskly toward it. Although Yuzhi Longbai was full of doubts, he still followed behind her.
Ai Meimei descended from the peak of Yangshen Mountain, passed through several messy paths, and arrived at a hidden cave.
“This is it.”
“What’s inside?” Yuzhi Longbai asked.
“Sorrow, pain… and despair.”
Ai Meimei spoke softly, stepping inside.
Yuzhi Longbai followed behind her, walking downward for about a minute. The originally narrow underground passage suddenly opened up!
A vast cavern appeared before the two.
This cavern was at the base of the mountain, seemingly artificially hollowed out, connected to the bases of several other peaks. Looking around, there were countless dark passages, dark and damp. Even at its highest point, the ceiling was not taller than Yuzhi Longbai, forcing him to stoop as he walked.
At this moment, in this dim cavern, pairs of numb and bewildered eyes were looking at them.
People…
This cavern was full of people everywhere!
“This is…” Yuzhi Longbai’s gaze swept over these skeletal, hunched figures, his pupils slightly contracting, “Olympus’s ‘human circle’?”
Yuzhi Longbai himself came from a “human circle,” so he naturally knew what this place was. But the “human circle” cavern before him was vastly inferior to Takamagahara’s “human circle” in countless ways. The environment was cramped and harsh, and the population barely exceeded ten thousand.
Compared to Takamagahara’s “human circle,” this place was nothing more than a dark underground pigsty!
“Their emotions are so depressing… just smelling it makes me feel suffocated.” Ai Meimei spoke with furrowed brows.
“We need to rescue them.” Yuzhi Longbai turned to Ai Meimei, “You must have a way, right?”
“Don’t worry… I have a plan that kills two birds with one stone.” Ai Meimei smiled slightly,
“However, I need your help.”
…
At the foot of the divine mountain.
A carriage sped through the chaotic battlefield.
“All four divine mountains are bloodstained. It seems all the main gods of Olympus have been dealt with.” Chen Han rode a ghost horse beside the carriage, his straight blade soaked in fresh blood.
“Hang in there a bit longer… Lin Qiye and the others should be back soon.”
Master Chen nodded.
At the edge of the battlefield, Guan Zai, Wu Quan, and Shao Pingge joined forces to suppress the attacks of five or six lesser gods, but their offensive was gradually weakening, showing signs of losing control.
Facing numerous lesser gods, these human powerhouses working together could barely suppress them, but the problem was that none of them possessed Laws, so they couldn’t cause true casualties. As the battle dragged on, the lesser gods hadn’t decreased in number, but the humans’ spiritual energy was nearly exhausted.
“These humans are almost done! Attack together!!”
A voice rose among the lesser gods, and their attacks became even more fierce, surrounding the five powerhouses like madmen!
Just then, a panel appeared above all their heads!
“—Game loading progress: 0%…19%…40%…76%…100%”
“—Welcome to the nightmare-level game developed by g·z”
“—Game name: ‘Cute Idol Girl’s Kiss’ (crossed out)…Game name: ‘Destroy Olympus! Long Live Great Xia!'”
“—Skill 2 verification in progress…verification successful!”
Seeing the last line of text, the lesser gods of Olympus were filled with confusion.
What is this?
A game? Destroy Olympus?
And what is Skill 2???
Before they could react, beams of black light instantly engulfed their forms, and all the lesser gods simultaneously disappeared.
“What’s going on? Where did they go?” Shao Pingge, who had been ready for a bloody battle with his blade, asked in confusion.
Guan Zai looked at the panel floating in the air, his mouth twitching slightly.
“We don’t need to fight anymore… they’re doomed.”
…
“Ai Meimei!”
“Ai Meimei!!”
“Ai Meimei!!!”
Wave-like voices came from the crowd. Countless thin, hunched humans crawled out of the cavern.
They stood on the open ground, bathing in the sunlight. Their eyes no longer showed the despair and numbness from before, but were filled with hopeful light. They gathered together, looking at the girl standing on a huge rock, cheering loudly!
“How did you do that… they should be seeing you for the first time, right?” Yuzhi Longbai watched the scene before him and spoke in astonishment.
Ai Meimei smiled and said, “Don’t underestimate the power of emotions, and don’t underestimate me.”
She stood straight on the rock, winked her right eye at the crowd below, and shouted in a spirited voice:
“Everyone, don’t be afraid! Great Xia has already slaughtered those Olympian gods! From now on, you’ll never have to live in fear in the caverns again!”
“To commemorate our meeting in the sunlight, let’s take a group photo~”
Ai Meimei extended her thumbs and index fingers, framing all the “human circle” residents as if holding a camera, and spoke with a smile:
“Three… two… one!”
Click—
As her words fell, dozens of black beams appeared in the distance!
The lesser gods looked around in confusion, having no idea what was happening… Cheers rose and fell in the distance, and a young girl stood on a huge rock, slightly tilting her head, winking at one of the lesser gods.
Puff—
That lesser god felt his mind shake, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face as pale as paper.
“Are those the people from underground? How did they escape? And who is that girl?” Just as the gods were speaking in confusion, a deep red figure descended from the sky!
Lin Qiye held the torch-like Olympian Source in one hand, slowly rising from the shattered ground…
In his other hand, he held a blood-stained head!
