【Scorpio】Andres.
Born from the ancient dungeon, bestowed with the name of God's Assassin, a God-slaying monster capable of ignoring and even devouring divine power.
At this moment, to eliminate Lu Yuan, the eyesore hindering his devouring of the gods, Scorpio unleashed the divine power he had previously absorbed from Artemis.
The azure divine power transformed into a longbow.
Substantial arrows of divine power rapidly materialized on the longbow.
Po.
A crisp sound, like a bowstring snapping, echoed.
The arrow, adorned with azure light spots, transformed into an azure shockwave, hurtling towards Lu Yuan.
"Sever."
Ding-ling-ling.
The clear sound of a wind chime rang in Lu Yuan's palm.
The next second.
A bizarre cylindrical longsword was somehow grasped in Lu Yuan's hand.
The sword's body was entirely red, engraved with sacred patterns, its hilt crafted from golden crystal, forming a strange, pauldron-like curve.
This is the Sword that Cleaves the World.
Also known as the Star that Separates Heaven and Earth!
Dong!
After the strange cylindrical longsword appeared, Lu Yuan simply held it and swung it forward.
A scarlet sword light flashed.
Despite not sensing any powerful aura.
The sword light, upon contacting the divine power shockwave, directly shattered it into fragments.
The so-called divine power instantly reverted to its most primitive divine power particles, scattered into the air, carrying specks of blue light lingering above the ruins.
Subsequently, as if attracted by some special quality.
The primitive divine power particles rapidly coalesced into a blue ribbon of light, entwining around Artemis, who was completely stunned, until she had completely reabsorbed it.
"My divine power, it's all back..." Opening her palm, looking at the shimmering blue light emanating from it, and feeling the regained power, Artemis looked at the dazzling young man once more, and for some reason, felt her heart suddenly pounding fiercely.
Crack, crack, crack...
At the same time.
Having been struck by the sword light.
Cracks began to appear on the body of Scorpio Andres.
In just a few breaths, Scorpio's entire body resembled a porcelain doll on the verge of shattering.
Breaking, repairing.
Breaking again, repairing again...
Scorpio's entire body constantly switched back and forth between the two states.
Until finally.
Boom!
Scorpio, his power exhausted, exploded into fragments.
Immediately after.
Glug, glug.
A half-meter-long magic stone fell from mid-air.
Scorpio, Andres, is dead!
At the same time.
As the monster was killed.
The small scorpions in the outer Great Tree Sea, rushing towards the ruins, all stopped in their tracks, and then simultaneously burst into smoke and disappeared.
"Without even releasing the sword's name, simply pairing it with the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence is enough to achieve this level... Truly worthy of the king who dared to defy the gods in the ancient Fate world..."
Before he could finish marveling.
A white light flashed on Lu Yuan's body.
The next second.
He transformed back into the long spear he was before.
The Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, the Sword of Separation, and even the potion bottles he had given to Artemis and the others, all disappeared at the same time.
"Orion! Are you alright!"
Quickly stepping forward, picking up the long spear that had fallen to the ground, and holding it close to her chest, Artemis asked anxiously.
"What's wrong, Lord Orion? Is he overexerted?"
"He should be fine, right?"
"Perhaps, Lord Orion needs to rest..."
The rest of the Familia, seeing this, quickly came to Artemis's side, knelt down, and whispered in consolation.
"Um..."
White light surged again.
However, this time, before Lu Yuan could even step out of the white light, he was enveloped in a soft embrace.
"My Orion, you're alright, I'm so glad!" Holding Lu Yuan tightly in her arms, Artemis was visibly excited.
The feeling of something lost and found was nothing more than this.
"Um, I said, my name isn't actually Orion..." Lu Yuan said awkwardly, trying to break free from Artemis's embrace.
But perhaps because the divine weapon's true form belonged to Artemis, its owner.
His resistance was unable to free him from the goddess's embrace for a moment.
"Orion! Don't be angry, I know it was wrong of me to leave you in the Heavenly Realm, I will make it up to you in the future."
While holding Lu Yuan, Artemis also stroked Lu Yuan's hair gently.
She looked like she was coaxing a child.
"Why don't you try summoning the Orion from the Heavenly Realm down here?" Lu Yuan's lips twitched slightly, as he tentatively asked.
"Don't joke around, I've already violated the rules set by the gods by using divine power privately this time. Even if it's excusable, I'll need to explain myself after returning to Orario. Now that the crisis is resolved, I can't violate the rules again."
"Be good, stay with me from now on, Orion, I won't let you be lonely anymore..."
With her chin resting on Lu Yuan's head, Artemis held Lu Yuan even tighter.
It was as if no matter what Lu Yuan said now, she wouldn't listen.
"Lord Orion, Artemis had to leave you in the Heavenly Realm due to the Lower World regulations. Now that you can descend, we will definitely take care of you and Artemis together."
Theresa, the captain, came before the two of them, first kneeling on one knee, and then lowering her head to declare in a solemn tone.
"That's right, Lord Orion! Just leave it to us from now on! Although we are not as strong as you, we can handle other things."
"Please live with us from now on, Lord Orion!"
"..."
One by one, the girls of the Artemis Familia came before Lu Yuan, knelt on one knee, and swore their allegiance.
"I'm telling the truth, I'm really not Orion..." Lu Yuan was speechless to the extreme.
The girls looked at Lu Yuan's true form, and then, in unison: "You are!"
......
"It seems that the problem on Artemis's side has been resolved, it must have been done by her Familia themselves. After all, even if Hestia and the others were riding a wyvern, they wouldn't be able to reach the ruins in the Great Tree Sea in such a short time."
"In that case, if Artemis encounters Hestia on her way back, it might speed up her return to Orario!"
"No! I need to notify Freya to deal with the Ishtar Familia as soon as possible..."
An unknown tavern in Orario.
The moment the god Hermes saw the crescent moon in the sky disappear, he immediately got up and hurried towards Babel Tower, where Freya was located.
And as Scorpio Andres was eliminated, and divine power returned to Artemis.
The monster rampage in the dungeon gradually subsided......
