Chapter 1841
by 林方方Chapter 1841 Maze Entrance
Terrifying divine power intertwined within the golden light, like a giant pillar soaring into the clouds. Horrifying ripples swept across the ice plain, and tens of kilometers of ice shattered with a thunderous boom!
This slap directly contained the divine power of more than ten lesser gods, two main gods, and Fenrir’s own divine power combined, instantly crushing the massive form of the magic wolf into the lowest layer of ice. The sound of his skull cracking was lost amid the breaking ice and explosion.
This strike was definitely comparable to the highest realm.
The reverberating aftershocks dissipated across the shattered ice plain. Fenrir lay like a corpse in the glacier, completely stunning the onlookers from [Divine Desire Paradise].
Not just them, even Lin Qiye hadn’t expected that No. 22’s strike could inflict such terrifying damage. The timing and angle of the attack were on a completely different level from Kubera and the other gods.
No. 22’s bulky body slowly floated down onto a piece of floating ice, looking down at Fenrir drifting in the water, and spoke calmly:
“Is it so difficult to deal with a beast? Why was it so troublesome in your hands?”
Kubera and the others exchanged glances, lowering their heads in silence.
Just as No. 22 was about to say something more, the ice beneath his feet suddenly shattered!
A pair of slender hands reached out from the icy water, violently grabbing his ankles. An enormous force flipped No. 22’s bulky body, throwing him into the icy river!
This reversal came too suddenly. By the time the distant crowd reacted, the masked figure was already standing on No. 22’s body, with a hand shrouded in green light striking like lightning toward No. 22’s chest!
Her target was precisely where the [King’s Scepter] was located!
Was her goal to steal the [King’s Scepter]?
Watching this scene from the void world, Lin Qiye’s eyes revealed surprise.
No wonder after her initial appearance, she had vanished without a trace, letting Fenrir engage with the [Divine Desire Paradise] crowd. She had been waiting in the shadows for No. 22 to release the power of the [Scepter] before attempting to steal it. From the beginning, everyone had fallen into her trap.
Both No. 22’s appearance and this fake God of Trickery were quite unexpected to Lin Qiye… It seemed that many changes had occurred in the mist during these four years.
The girl’s hand grasped the top of the [King’s Scepter], trying to pull it out of No. 22’s body, but despite several attempts, the scepter didn’t budge at all.
This wasn’t because she lacked strength or was grabbing the wrong spot. No. 22 had fused this scepter directly into his flesh, making it part of his body, with only the top portion protruding from his chest. Trying to pull it out was as difficult as removing a rib from No. 22’s body with bare hands.
Snap!
A hand firmly grabbed the girl’s wrist.
“So your target was this… hehe.” No. 22 lay on his back in the flowing water, looking at the masked girl with a cold smile. “I fused it into my body precisely to prevent people like you.
Appearances don’t matter at all. Only absolute power is what must be firmly held in one’s hands… don’t you agree?”
In the water flow, a sword radiating divine light thrust forward!
No. 22 gripped the girl’s body firmly with one hand while holding the [King’s Sword] in the other, pointing it directly at her throat. This sword, like the [King’s Scepter], was a supreme divine artifact and the only sword in the world that inherently carried the power of laws and could slay gods.
The girl’s expression changed beneath her mask, her pupils slightly contracting.
At that moment, a blade light slashed out from the void, its edge meeting the sword with dazzling sparks, firmly blocking it in mid-air!
A figure quickly materialized.
“Another helper?”
Seeing this, No. 22’s eyes narrowed as he swung his sword to deflect the long blade, quickly gliding across the glacier back to the [Divine Desire Paradise] crowd.
Those figures who had been initially stunned by the trap had now regained consciousness. They followed behind No. 22, their eyes full of vigilance as they looked at the two people before them.
“Isn’t that Haren?” Kubera was startled upon recognizing the blade-wielding figure.
“Fool, he was replaced long ago.”
No. 22 stared at the man and said coldly, “The mysterious lightning that appeared earlier was also your doing, wasn’t it? What exactly is your purpose for hiding among us?”
“No particular purpose. I just saw you were having trouble finding the labyrinth and decided to lend a hand,” Lin Qiye replied unhurriedly.
At this point, he no longer maintained his disguise. With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the transformation magic on his body, returning to his original appearance.
Seeing that face, No. 22’s brows furrowed tightly.
“Brown Myers… so it’s you? Or should I call you Commander Lin of the Daxia Night Watchers?”
Hearing the long-forgotten name Brown Myers, Lin Qiye felt a slight stirring in his heart.
“Long time no see, No. 22,” Lin Qiye said calmly. “You’ve improved quite a bit in these four years.”
“Have I? How could I compare to the renowned Commander Lin?” No. 22 replied languidly. “You’re the powerful figure who can destroy Olympus with a wave of your hand. My achievements are nothing before you.”
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something more, his eyebrows raised slightly as he looked behind him.
On the sparkling icy river, the masked girl he had rescued and the magic wolf Fenrir had both vanished without a trace, leaving only ripples spreading across the bright surface of the water.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye seemed to realize something and became thoughtful.
“No wonder…”
“It seems she doesn’t want to be indebted to you,” No. 22 said with a cold smile.
“Indebted? You’re wrong… she simply found the entrance to the time labyrinth before you did,” Lin Qiye shook his head and said.
Hearing these words, No. 22’s expression changed. “What did you say?”
“Haven’t you noticed? This world clearly has no moon, yet the moon’s reflection appears on the river’s surface,” Lin Qiye pointed to the rippling water. “This indicates… that time in this area is still frozen in the distant past.”
When everyone first arrived here, the river was still sealed by ice and snow, so they hadn’t noticed anything unusual. It was only when they shattered the ice layer during the battle that the entrance was fully revealed.
Seeing that the annoying God of Trickery had already entered the time labyrinth, No. 22’s face darkened. He wanted to lead everyone into the labyrinth immediately, but Lin Qiye standing by the entrance made them very wary.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye simply stepped back more than ten paces, generously clearing a path, and even made a “please” gesture.
Lin Qiye’s behavior left No. 22 and the others puzzled. He frowned at Lin Qiye and asked in a deep voice:
“What exactly are you trying to do?”
