Ships, supplies, equipment, departure permits, and strong external support—in a very short time, Roy secured all the necessary conditions for setting sail.
Although most of them came uninvited, weren't they also a result of the connections they had made before?
"Captain, you're amazing!"
Tiony, Tiona, Lily, and the others looked at Roy with admiration. Only this young man in the world could do something like this.
Ryu and Asphie were no exception; what shocked them most was that Roy could handle that guild's tyrant. They knew all too well how troublesome that disgrace of the elves was, yet Roy had repeatedly managed to subdue him with ease.
As the head of the clan, Asifi deeply understands this.
That dead pig repeatedly caught Hermes's clan hiding their strength, trying to extort money from them, but Asphie managed to fool them with great difficulty.
Asphie's beautiful eyes lingered on Roy. Perhaps she should ask him for advice on how to deal with the "Guild Pig," which would save her a lot of trouble in the future.
It's incredible that the goddess Astraea was also granted permission to leave.
If the Astrea Familia were to run away and join another country, the resulting negative impact would be enough to force the guild master to step down and lose all power.
Roy chuckled and said, "Keep it low-key!"
The only pity is that we couldn't bring in the Loki Familia, a powerful ally, but that was expected, as the guild would definitely not agree.
Perfect timing! Roy can entrust the Loki Familia and the Ganesha Clan to temporarily protect the Star Garden and safeguard his billions of dollars in assets. If it were any other Familia, there would be a possibility of them embezzling.
These two powerful clans would never do such a thing!
The group arrived in the port city of Mellen, where a new type of fishing boat was moored on the huge semi-saline lake, in addition to the school district's giant ship.
Fortunately, the Nyodchun tribe provided an ocean-going vessel, otherwise Roy would have found it rather troublesome.
The Astrea Familia, along with Hermes, Asphie, Leon, Tsubaki Kobrand, and the Kalichun Clan, number fifty or sixty. If they were to use the Flying Hoof Thunder Ox and the Divine Chariot, it would take at least ten round trips, and who knows what unexpected things might happen along the way.
To avoid trouble from those mischievous Orarios, Roy and the others specifically chose to set off at night.
The night was deep and the wind was calm.
The group boarded the new ocean-going vessel, where members of the Nyod family were already unloading supplies and preparing for the voyage—a truly professional team.
The new ship, developed in collaboration with the school district, looks like it's made of iron armor. It's silver and shiny with a metallic sheen. It looks heavy, but even a level 2 adventurer with strength-specific attributes can lift it.
This new type of fishing boat uses magic stones as its power source and tows a large net behind it. It can quickly skim across the sea and catch a lot of fish.
The design focuses on the power and speed of the magic stone.
Thanks to this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to reach the mysterious cave on Saint Road Island, the trial grounds, in about five days.
The girls from the clan curiously examined the technologically advanced fishing boat, banging and tapping on it. The sailors watched with trepidation, for these girls were no ordinary people; they were high-level adventurers.
A moment later, the captain of the Njord Familia shouted, "Lord Roy, we are ready!"
Roy said, "Let's go!"
Rumble!
The hybrid-powered ship starts up, and the energy provided by the magic stone drives the propeller to rotate rapidly, causing the ship to gradually move away from the shore and head towards the deep sea.
The map in Roy's hand could be used as a positioning system, making the fishermen's eyes light up. No one understood the value of this magical item better than them.
Roy promised to give them a similar magical item after everything was over, instantly boosting the motivation of the Nyod Familia members to work.
In fact, Roy had two of these maps.
Previously, when I went to the Great Tree Sea with Ryu and Haruhime to search for treasure, the treasure map had the same function.
With the Nyord Familia handling the maritime voyages, Roy and his group didn't need to worry about most things. They only needed to conserve their energy for the upcoming "Trial of the Underworld." Occasionally, they would take action to clear out monsters emerging from the sea. There were dungeon monsters on the surface, not to mention the sea.
The dungeon doesn't only have the Tower of Babel as its exit.
Beneath Lake Rolog in front of the port city of Mellen, there is also a waterway exit, which is said to connect the 25th floor of the "Water Maze" and even deeper floors, where the sea tyrant Leviathan and a large number of monsters came out.
Until a little over a decade ago, the sea tyrant Leviathan was jointly defeated by Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon's kin. The three kin used Leviathan's remains to block the waterway exit, naming it the Sea Dragon Seal.
Powerful monsters exude a terrifying aura.
In the north, black dragon scales were used to protect the village. The lingering aura of Leviathan, the sea tyrant, was enough to keep most monsters away from that exit.
The defeat of Leviathan, the king of the sea, does not mean that the monsters in the sea have been completely eliminated.
Over the millennia, countless monsters have emerged from it.
Hidden in the deep sea, their numbers and potential abilities are only high, with quite a few monsters at levels 5 and 6!
Due to the increasing number of monsters in Lake Rolog, the god Njord was forced to cooperate with the dark faction.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the calm sea surface seemed to be torn apart by a tremendous force, and water burst forth, revealing the terrifying predators that had previously existed in the "Water City".
The enormous water snake, accompanied by a curtain of water and a foul wind, suddenly raised its ferocious head and half of its massive body from the churning white waves!
Just as the giant beast burst forth from the sea, Liu's figure swiftly darted out. The Elven Stream of Light Dragon Staff burst forth with a dazzling cold light, piercing into the giant water serpent's forehead. The sword tip pierced through the skull and struck the magic stone with unparalleled precision!
Snap—Bang!
The monster's wails mingled with the crackling sound of magic stones shattering as the giant water serpent's massive body began to disintegrate.
Before the monster completely turned to ashes, Ryu lightly touched the dissipating torso with her toes, using the momentum to float backward like a light leaf, landing steadily on the ship with elegance and grace.
"good!"
"Ryu-chan is amazing!"
Everyone on the ship was stunned.
Subsequently, more aquatic monsters emerged. Countless dark shadows lurked beneath this sea, their auras reaching LV.2 and LV.3. Being underwater, the difficulty of killing them increased by another level.
This can be considered Hades' first test.
The mysterious cave has been moved to an island. If we can't deal with the monsters in the sea, there's no point in going up there; it would be tantamount to suicide.
Without a foothold at sea, the difficulty of defeating monsters increases dramatically. You have to use your trump cards when necessary; Roy won't hold back, they're not family heirlooms.
Roy said in a deep voice, "Come out!"
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the sky, and thunder crashed down, blasting open a vast expanse of sea and revealing flying hooves and thunderous oxen, as well as divine chariot wheels.
With the help of the levitating divine ox and chariot, the group cleared away all the underwater monsters that approached the fishing boat.
"As expected of Roy's brother, he can even conquer monsters that soar through the sky," Hermes exclaimed.
Those who saw the Flying Hoof Thunder Ox and the Divine Wheel for the first time were filled with indescribable shock. The ability to fly was an extremely abnormal existence no matter where it was, giving them an innate advantage!
Currently known examples are only Asphi's flying shoes and the dragons raised by the Ganesha Familia.
In order to deal with those arrogant monsters in the sky, Zeus and Hera's Familia specially developed "Residual Light," but even so, only a small number of people could learn it.
Roy casually summoned a flying monster, which was enough to make anyone want to vomit blood.
A bitter smile appeared on Leon's handsome face. It seemed that the Astrea Spring Clan had been hiding many tricks up their sleeves during that duel, and their true strength was unfathomable.
The goddess Astraea and the girls of her kin radiated pride and joy on their pretty faces.
Rumble!
On the third day of the voyage, they encountered a storm at sea.
As if the sky had collapsed, a devastating storm suddenly erupted on the sea ahead, with thick, inky clouds covering the sky and swallowing up all the light.
Blinding electric snakes and thunderbolts danced wildly in the depths of the dark clouds, tearing through the thick cloud layer and turning the sky and earth pale, with continuous booming sounds.
The raging winds howled like demons!
The most terrifying sight is the writhing tornado on the horizon, sucking up billions of tons of seawater and surging upwards—the legendary spectacle of a waterspout!
The entire sea area presented an apocalyptic scene!
The largest and most violent tornado, carrying destructive waves, roared and lunged straight at the tiny fishing boat!
A life-or-death moment!
At the bow, Roy and Leon exchanged glances. Without a word, they roared simultaneously, their longswords blazing with light that pierced through the chaos!
With the force of creating heaven and earth, strike simultaneously!
Swish!Swish!
Two slashes, refined to the extreme and containing the power to cleave everything, severed the world-destroying storm in an instant, and the huge tornado connecting the sky and the sea instantly dissipated into a sky full of water mist.
The dazzling sword light continued its relentless advance!
The slash extended for tens of kilometers, tearing the churning, roaring sea into two bottomless chasms that stretched to the horizon!
boom!!
The dark clouds that had shrouded the sky were torn apart!
Warm sunlight once again bathed the shimmering sea, the raging storm vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed. A gentle breeze stirred, the sky was clear and blue, a peaceful and serene scene, a stark contrast to the apocalyptic landscape just moments before!
Only the two enormous chasms on the sea that were slowly closing told the story of the two men's earth-shattering strikes!
Everyone was already somewhat numb to what they were seeing, but these two were so strong that they were suffocating.
With the help of his "Intuition" skill, Roy can always foresee danger in advance. Neither monsters nor natural disasters can stop them from moving forward.
The ship sailed straight toward St. Louis Island.
Roy was also gathering intelligence on Hades from Astraea, Hestia, and Hermes. Knowing your enemy and yourself is the key to victory!
"Hades—" Astraea, Hestia, and Hermes exchanged a glance.
Astraea looked at Roy with gentle eyes and said softly, "One thing is certain: Hades undoubtedly loves the children of the lower realms—"
As Roy listened to Astraea's account, he frowned. It was pretty much what he had guessed, but that was precisely why it was so troublesome.
Gods universally love the children of the mortal realm!
However, the forms of love differ. Astraea, a normal deity, goes without saying, while Hades, a deity associated with death, has a different value system in this regard than humans understand.
There is a particularly striking example.
Thanatos, the Grim Reaper!
Roy, disguised as Freya, forced her to escape the man-made maze, and her whereabouts remain unknown.
The most important reason why Thanatos, the god of death, was able to control the dark faction after the Great Struggle was that his ideals and love attracted countless people.
What he promised people was death!
To be precise, it's reincarnation!
In this world, not everyone is a winner in life. There are many more people who are unhappy with their lives, perhaps even eight or nine out of ten. Congenital disabilities, broken families, poverty, disease, and so on plague countless people.
Thanatos, the god of death, promised those people a better life in their next life!
Sanatos wasn't lying either.
When that fateful moment arrives, he will return to the heavens and fulfill his promise.
Upon receiving this promise, the members of the Dark Faction instantly transformed into fearless mad dogs, for whom death was their final destination!
It's an end! It's a new beginning!
Hades was the same; his love was distorted!
They believed that death was the best outcome for children in the lower realms.
This means Hades will not go easy on them. If they fail the trial, he will definitely leave them all in the underworld for all eternity!
Upon receiving this answer, Roy felt a sense of heaviness in his heart, but the die was cast!
During their voyage, Roy and the girls of his clan often "disappeared" and ran off to other worlds to grind for stats.
The Nyod family, the Kali family, and others are very honest and do not pry into other people's secrets.
Hermes, however, was like a stubborn plaster.
Tiona stood on the railing, grabbing Hermes by one foot, causing him to hang from the outside of the ship, with the vast ocean and aquatic monsters below.
"Sister Theona, you can't be so rude to the gods!" Hermes cried out with a mournful face.
"But you're really annoying."
Tiona's usually bright smile betrayed a hint of impatience. They were constantly chasing after her, trying to find out the captain's secrets. Unlike the others, she wasn't as clever, and if she let something slip—how annoying!
Tiona decisively looked towards Roy. "Captain, can I leave him here?"
Roy glanced at it briefly. "Okay!"
Without hesitation, Tiona released him.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
""
Hermes screamed and plummeted straight down. Just then, a shark-like monster leaped out of the water, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down hard on him with its sharp teeth gleaming coldly.
Hermes was so frightened that he turned pale.
Swish!
Just as Hermes was about to fall into the monster's gaping maw, Asphie used her flying shoes to dart past like a streak of light and save Hermes in time.
The two landed on the deck.
Asphie said irritably, "Lord Hermes, stop with your underhanded tactics!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hermes, still shaken, became obedient!
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing Hermes get his comeuppance, everyone smiled in unison. Serves him right; even gods have their limits when it comes to seeking amusement and excitement.
Roy's lips curled into a smile. Unless they were being controlled, the clan girls would never reveal their secrets.
Although there are not many things in the world that can threaten them anymore, it's always good to be cautious.
Name: Roy Level: 6
Strength: 280→630 (C)
Endurance: 232→612 (C)
Dexterity: 288→689 (C)
Agility: 369 → 755 (B)
Magic Power: 502 → 810 (A)
Roy pulled up his information, showing his growth, monster-hunting, and rewards during this period, all displayed on the panel, with a total increase of 1825 in his ability value.
Others are approaching the limits of their own abilities.
Amidst laughter and playful banter, time passed, and finally, an island appeared on the distant horizon.
Roy, Astraea, Ryu, and everyone else's expressions turned serious and earnest.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the underworld.
Eternal stillness solidified like thick ink, bronze pillars supported the topless dome, and twisted ghostly flames hung in the air, lighting up in rows.
"You're here!"
Hades sat enthroned on his obsidian throne, surrounded by a deep, dark divine power that caused the surrounding air to distort and ripple.
-
The blue phantom Roy encountered when he entered the cave was some kind of fairy spirit. Now, countless ghost spirits stood in a solemn array, guarding the throne of the underworld.
In the center of this army of the dead, Hades stood silently with his eyes lowered, appearing as the king of all gods.
Upon closer inspection, his figure appeared semi-illusory.
The "underworld" is not an independent world; it is essentially a special passage connecting the heavens and the mortal realm.
Hades' true form is still in the heavens; this is merely a projection formed using divine power. Unable to descend, he can only intervene in the mortal realm in this way.
Hades had a slight smile on his lips. He had worked most of his life, couldn't he enjoy himself? Keep the music playing and keep dancing!
Near the throne, an iron cage inscribed with mysterious runes imprisons the souls of ten young girls.
It turned out to be a former member of the Astrea Familia.
One of the red-haired girls slowly awoke, a look of confusion in her eyes. Where was she? She must have been killed by that ferocious beast on the thirtieth floor. With her last breath, her elven friend used magic to blast her and the monstrous creature to smithereens.
Hades said, "Are you awake, little princess?"
Alexandra stared at the massive figure, which resembled a small mountain, her expression slightly tense. "Who are you?"
"Hades, the god of the underworld!"
Hades replied, then waved his hand, "Look! Your chief god and companions are about to enter the underworld to try and rescue you!"
His divine power formed a divine mirror, which displayed the scene of Roy and the others who had just landed on the island.
"Lady Astraea, Leon—"
Alexandra no longer had any interest in investigating Hades.
In that group, there were people Alexie knew, such as Hermes, Asphie, and Tsubaki Kobrand, but there were also many strangers. Her self-light focused on Astraea and Ryu, causing their pupils to tremble.
Not only Hades and Alexie, but also the two members of the Familia beside the bronze pillar.
Hades said, "Nearly thirteen years have passed since your failed campaign against the End. Now, the new hero candidates, the last hope for the lower realms, are here!"
"interesting!"
The Empress, Maxim, Chardo, and the others sized up the group, noting that many of them were familiar faces, and a sinister smile appeared on their faces.
Hades, the ruler of the heavens, was panting heavily after putting on a great show in front of Alexia, Zeus, Hera's Familia, and others, wiping the sweat from his brow.
So tiring! His divine power can only affect the "underworld" and a small area around it, and he has to do it secretly. If other gods find out, he will definitely be beaten to death by them, and it will take another 10,000 years to be resurrected.
