Chapter 449 Miraculous Bug-Bug Behavior
Artemis!
Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful blue-haired goddess, the pupils of everyone on the battlefield contracted.
After the Scorpion Andaris incident, Artemis rose to become one of the most famous gods in the world. The arrow from the sky that nearly destroyed the world left a deep impression on everyone, and no one would forget her existence.
Returning to Orario from the Great Forest would take at least a month unless there were special means of transportation. Since their separation, Artemis had fought a war game with Freya's Familia and defeated the Impure Fairy, so her return at this time is quite reasonable.
Not to mention that the goddess was eager to return home.
"Roy! Roy! Roy!"
Artemis moved with light steps, like moonlight dancing in the forest, rushing towards Roy, her eyes fixed on the boy's figure.
"Artemis—of all times!" Freya murmured, gazing at Artemis's figure. This was not a good thing!
Especially for her!
Thinking of Roy and Artemis's intimate kiss atop the Tower of Babel, a surge of intense jealousy welled up inside her. She didn't want the two to have any further contact, Freya's voice carrying an undeniable urgency.
"Herdin, Hegny, stop her!"
Hedin and Hegnis responded immediately, like two ghostly black shadows, intercepting Artemis from both sides. Their attacks were swift as lightning, but without any killing intent, using the staffs and backs of their weapons.
No one, except Roy, wants to get involved in killing gods.
boom!boom!
Just as Hedin and Hegnis's fierce attacks were about to land on Artemis, two wild, leopard-like figures suddenly entered the battlefield.
It sounded like a heavy metal impact!
Algana and Baje, both at level 7, managed to block Hedin and Hegny's weapons with their small fists.
The two, who accepted Roy's request to accompany Artemis to the Great Tree Sea, had their souls stripped away by the power of Death. As the incident came to a perfect end, their souls returned to their bodies, and they followed Artemis back.
But I never expected to see this scene as soon as I returned.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of the blood-soaked figure in the center of the battlefield, and a surge of rage, devoid of reason, exploded in the minds of the two Amazon girls.
"My dear husband!!"
Aljana's roar was like that of a lioness, filled with unbelievable heartache and ferocious killing intent. Her eyes, which were always burning with fighting spirit, were now filled with only crimson blood light and extreme rage.
"How dare you harm my husband!"
Bajie's voice was icy and chilling, each word seemingly ground out from between her teeth. The two women were filled with regret; if only they had known this would happen, they would have stayed by Roy's side no matter what, even though they too would have been bewitched—
No more words needed!
The two enraged Amazonian warriors unleashed their small fists, tearing through the air and creating muffled sonic booms. Each strike contained the violent power to shatter mountains and rocks, raining down on Hedin and Hegni like a storm.
It's a fight to the death!
Under the relentless and ferocious onslaught of the two, Hedin and Hegny were forced to retreat repeatedly, leaving them in a sorry state with countless wounds on their bodies and the hard ground beneath their feet cracking inch by inch!
"hiss!"
"What exactly happened?"
On the other side, the remaining members of Artemis's Familia—Letsa, Lanti, and other girls—who had just arrived at the battlefield, caught sight of Roy's blood-soaked and wounded figure. Their pupils widened in disbelief, and their slender little hands covered their rosy lips.
Roy is the leader of the Astrea Familia, a symbol of "justice," and a hero who has saved Orario and averted world-ending crises multiple times. How could things have turned out like this?!
This was followed by intense anger, as Roy was also a benefactor of their Artemis Familia.
Hedin and Hegnis were stopped, but the battlefield was full of Freya's sycophants and puppets. Ota and Leon intercepted Artemis from the left and right.
"roar!"
Ota and Leon, both at level 8, were incredibly aggressive, their auras like a raging flood. Even Algana and Baje couldn't withstand them. However, Letsa and Lanti showed no sign of worry.
Their goddess has obtained an invincible trump card!
"snort!"
Upon seeing the two approaching figures, Artemis let out a cold snort, her slender hand gripping the Moon God Spear that shimmered with mysterious light.
The next instant, an invisible, immense pressure suddenly erupted from the divine spear, causing ripples in the space and transforming into surging shockwaves that spread wildly.
boom!
Ota and Leon will be the first to be affected!
The two men's expressions changed drastically. They felt as if they had been hit by an invisible mountain. It wasn't a specific part of their bodies that was being crushed, but rather every cell in their bodies was under indescribable pressure, and their condensed power instantly dissipated.
Their bodies were completely out of control, and they crashed heavily into the ground below. The hard rocks shattered, dust filled the air, and the two men were pale and unable to move!
This is just the beginning!
Artemis did not stop. Wherever she went, the terrifying invisible pressure spread like a tide. The Freya Familia members who tried to stop her, as well as the high-level adventurers who were bewitched by Freya, were all hit as if by a heavy hammer, regardless of their level.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Liu, Finn, Grace, and the others were all slammed to the ground uncontrollably, their bones groaning, their weapons falling from their hands. They were suppressed by that earth-shattering force, and even raising a finger became a luxury!
Suppress the entire scene!
Looking around, on the vast battlefield, apart from Roy, Freya, Artemis, and others, no one else could continue standing.
"Divine power!"
Upon seeing this, Freya's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, her purple eyes fixed on the divine spear in Artemis's hand that exuded astonishing power.
Is that divine spear still in Artemis's hands?
"Tsk tsk!"
Roy's gaze also fell on Artemis's spear. She had summoned her divine weapon; theoretically, using her divine power would have sent her back to the heavens, but being devoured by the scorpion Andaris meant her body was dead, effectively negating that cost.
Roy later revived Artemis using the special effect of Gungnir!
The summoned divine spear was preserved.
It was too convoluted!
If any link in the chain had gone wrong, this outcome would not have been possible. It is likely that even the omniscient and omnipotent gods did not anticipate this kind of bug-exploiting behavior, and therefore did not formulate corresponding punishment rules.
That's the fun of the mortal world; even the gods don't know what bizarre things will happen next!
With the power of the divine spear, Artemis can crush even level 10 adventurers, let alone level 8 ones, like speed bumps!
Roy slowly put Freya down, and by the time he saw Artemis, it was no longer necessary.
"Artemis, stop!"
"Don't come near Roy again!"
As Artemis approached, Freya's heart was filled with burning jealousy and bitter resentment. Her twisted possessiveness caused a strange purple light to appear in her eyes, enough to bewitch all living beings.
However, Artemis, as the goddess of "chastity," is one of the three virgin goddesses, just like Hestia, and is completely immune to Freya's seductive powers!
The alluring purple light that has captivated countless gods and mortals has no effect on Artemis!
"Roy!"
A call filled with endless longing and pure joy rang out, and Artemis's face blossomed into a radiant smile. Like a fledgling returning to its nest, she opened her arms and threw herself into Roy's broad and warm embrace.
"Artemis, we meet again."
Roy lowered his head slightly, his deep pupils reflecting the moon goddess's exquisite face, a gentle smile appearing on his face. Although they hadn't had much contact, who could resist a goddess so pure and innocent?
Artemis buried her small head deep in the boy's neck, greedily inhaling his reassuring breath. "Roy, I missed you so much!"
More than a month has passed since they parted ways at the top of the Tower of Babel, and for Artemis, who is experiencing love for the first time, every moment is torture.
"It must hurt a lot!"
After a brief moment of tenderness, when Artemis's gaze fell upon Roy's gruesome wounds—his flesh torn and bone exposed, his tattered clothes soaked in blood—a piercing pain instantly pierced her heart.
What kind of cruel person could hurt him like this! Crystalline tears uncontrollably overflowed from Artemis's emerald eyes, rolling silently down her fair cheeks like broken pearls.
"It's just a superficial injury."
Roy sensed Artemis's trembling and tears, and offered a comforting smile; after all, he was a Level 8.
Adventurers, having suffered countless injuries in pursuit of great deeds, have long since developed remarkable resilience.
Moreover, although his injuries appeared to be severe and horrific, under Freya's precise control, all attacks skillfully avoided fatal blows.
These wounds were not intended to kill him.
"Glug glug!" Roy took out a bottle of legendary celestial elixir that shimmered with a warm green light from his spatial ring and drank it down without hesitation.
The next moment!
A soft, vibrant emerald-green light emanated from his body, gently wrapping around every gruesome wound. Wherever it touched, the torn flesh grew and healed at a visible speed.
The intense pain subsided quickly, the wound healed, and Roy's physical and mental strength recovered significantly, allowing him to feel a warm and comfortable sensation throughout his body.
"Phew!" Artemis breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her sharp gaze to Freya.
"What kind of goddess of chastity is she? She's nothing but a vixen who seduces men!" Freya's beautiful eyes reflected the two people embracing, and she curled her lip.
Even though Roy's injuries had mostly healed, Artemis's beautiful body remained pressed tightly against her beloved boy.
The senses of the gods are extremely keen!
Freya's reaction made Artemis think of a possibility. Tilting her head, she asked innocently, "Freya, are you jealous of me?"
"!!!"
Freya blushed instantly, overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of shame. She was the goddess of love and desire, and her experience with men could leave the innocent Artemis far behind!
Would she be jealous of Artemis?!
"Hehehehe!" Artemis smiled, Freya's reaction had already proven everything. Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!
Freya nearly crushed her silver teeth.
"Cough! Cough!"
Roy coughed lightly, interrupting the two goddesses' jealous argument, "Freya, dispel the city's allure!"
"Hmph, why should I listen to you?" Freya turned her head away willfully, trying to avoid the hateful boy seeing the tears welling up in her eyes.
"Freya, it seems you haven't figured out the situation yet. Look around!" Roy said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Freya's gaze swept across the vast battlefield, and she immediately understood everything.
Artemis's power was even greater than imagined. The suppressed Ota, Leon, Finn, and others couldn't even move a finger, which meant that Freya could no longer control these people to commit suicide!
Roy said, "I already know the gods' decision. What's the point of you continuing to insist? I will naturally head north to face that black dragon!"
"...
—
Freya bit her lower lip. She couldn't stop Roy, who possessed spatial magic, from going north. She could only threaten Roy with the lives of the Astrea Familia girls. Now, Artemis could prevent them from committing suicide!
Her carefully planned scheme has been foiled!
What was originally a hopeless situation turned into a nightmare when Artemis returned with her divine spear, a reward from Roy for saving her.
"This ending is too cruel—"
Freya could no longer hold back, and crystal-clear tears fell, dancing wildly in the wind. The bewitching, eerie purple light in her eyes vanished without a trace.
The pillars supporting the entire false world collapsed with a crash! All the adventurers who had been bewitched by Freya and lost their self-awareness collapsed to the ground in swathes, like felled stalks of wheat, silently.
The city fell into a chilling, absolute silence!
Only the howling wind sweeping through the empty streets and the slapping sound of the wind hitting the shop signs made Orario's silence seem like a tomb.
"call!"
Looking at the unconscious Ryu and Tione, Roy let out a sigh of relief; he was finally done.
"My lord!" Algana and Bajie, like two blazing whirlwinds, rushed into Roy's arms with undisguised joy and longing.
Artemis turned around and made way for him perfectly. She knew that along the way, Argana and Baje had missed Roy just as much as she had, and she was not like Freya, who was prone to jealousy.
"It's good that you're back!"
Roy embraced Algana and Baje on either side, his large hands encircling their slender and graceful waists, his palms feeling their wild and powerful wheat-colored skin, a characteristic of the Amazons.
"Hmph!" Freya snorted coldly. Two more girls. She tried her best to suppress the discomfort in her heart.
Freya will inevitably face her punishment for bewitching the entire city, but she is not afraid. There is only one thing she cares about—Roy's choice.
"and then?"
Freya's bright eyes were fixed on Roy. "You're going to refuse my power? Those bastards are forcing you to fight the Black Dragon!"
Artemis, Argana, and Bajie roughly understood the cause of the matter, and they all looked worried. That was a black dragon with the power to destroy the world!
Now that the gods of Orario have made their decision, the news will quickly spread throughout the world.
If Roy doesn't go, the reputation of justice that the Astrea Familia has accumulated will be completely destroyed!
If Roy hadn't joined the Astrea Familia, he wouldn't have needed to be so conflicted. The morally ambiguous Loki Familia and the Freya Familia, who were chasing after the goddess's favor, would have treated the gods' decision as a piece of waste paper! If he tried to force him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Only the Astrea Familia, having enjoyed the benefits brought by the name of justice, must also bear the corresponding responsibilities, especially since Roy is the leader of the Familia!
"—Then let's go!"
Under the watchful eyes of Freya and Artemis, Roy's eyes seemed to burn with raging flames, and a smile of excitement curved his handsome lips.
"Could it be!" Freya's pupils reflected Roy's fanatical face, and through that strong body, she saw a dazzling soul radiance.
"That's how it is!"
In that instant, Freya seemed to understand something, her face suddenly realizing that she had been wrong! This was the true essence of the boy—the pursuit of adventure.
Perhaps this adventure was forced upon him by the gods, but he may not have been unaware of this idea in his heart.
