Boom!
A storm that originated from the spiritual world made everyone on the fourth floor of the labyrinth slightly dizzy.
An uncontrollable sense of fear ruled everyone's heart. Even the two Pirate Lords with the blood of the Giant and the Sea Dragon were not spared.
Because it was a survival instinct that was branded in the depths of human blood and had been preserved since the Uncivilized Era.
Even children would instinctively fear the bottomless abyss under their feet, instinctively fear the colorful crawling creatures, instinctively fear … the dark deep sea.
However, this "terror" that was so strong that it touched the soul only brushed its existence lightly and quietly retreated. Everyone instantly felt relieved.
The next moment.
"Ji ji ji …"
An unfamiliar language that had never appeared in human written records abruptly rang in the ears of everyone on the fourth floor. But miraculously, all of them clearly understood the meaning. It was a joyous laughter.
At this point.
Elvin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He even opened his eyes and looked directly at the "pale thing" that was as big as a small house, stretching its withered limbs and entrenched on the well.
It was not surprising at all.
Ugly, twisted, evil … Its entire body exuded an aura that was incompatible with this material world.
But almost visible to the naked eye, on its body that was like a pale white gelatinous meatball, a new force that looked like a bridge or an umbilical cord had quietly appeared and connected with this world.
The pale meatball-like body had begun to transform into a half-real, half-illusory appearance like the clouds in the sky; the countless green pustules on the surface of its body were also gradually becoming what a normal animal should look like in the material world; those black, withered legs were also slowly becoming plump …
"As expected."
Elvin had seen the mythical form of a demigod with his own eyes and had also reached an agreement with a divine creature.
He might not be able to determine how strong this creature was, but it was not difficult to determine whether its extraordinary hypostasis had reached the level of divinity or demigod.
Although its appearance was very much in line with the characteristics of an ancient god, the series of phenomena brought about by its extraordinary hypostasis could not fool anyone. This was not the true body of the God of Labyrinth, Ayhort, nor was it even a projection. It did not have the power of divinity at all.
However, to be able to accept the sacrifice on behalf of a god, one had to at least be a high-ranking subordinate of the God of Mazes, Aihort. In other words, they were commonly known as "Oracles," similar to the three Children of the Sea God under the Mother of Sea Monsters.
And the "terror" that flashed by just now, which could almost crush mortals, was probably the real ancient god Ayhort.
After the laughter that clearly had an unknown meaning.
This monster of various meanings slowly spoke in everyone's hearts.
"I am the Beast, and also the ruler of justice, the descendant of the great god of Labyrinth, Ayhort. Representing the generous god God, I have come to fulfill the sacrifice's wish. "
Although the tone was as friendly as possible, the existence itself could only make everyone feel a deep sense of malice. It was like a group of producers in the food chain facing a high-class consumer.
One's stance would never change based on one's attitude.
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavily injured Bradley was stunned for a moment by the appearance of the Oracle. He could not wait to raise his head and shout out his wish.
"Your Excellency Beast, my wish is for my body to recover to its original state and obtain the power to defeat all the humans here!"
Unlike his initial thoughts of obtaining treasures and dominating the world, he had changed his wish. No matter how lofty the ideal was in his heart, it could only be realized if he survived.
However …
Although Bradley was only one step slower than Elvin and the others, he did not have the prophecies and information that Elvin and the others had. Obviously, he only saw the superficial benefits of "clearing the level" and ignored the risks behind it.
Or rather, the king at the end of his road could no longer care about the so-called risks when he could not even guarantee his life.
However, out of the caution of a high-level Transcendent, even in such a state, he still did not make any excessive wishes, such as directly advancing to Transcendent Rank-4, wishing for the gods to kill his enemies, or wanting both strength and treasure …
The Oathbreaker, who still had reason, knew very well that he had to be careful when making a deal with an unknown existence. Because most of the time, you want high profits, but the other party may be thinking about your capital (life and soul).
"Hehehe, no problem at all, but the offerings are not enough. You need to offer the most devout faith to the maker of the just rules, the great God of Labyrinth!"
After another round of creepy laughter, the Oracle, who called himself the "Azure Beast", agreed to Bradley's request, but he added an additional condition.
The "public channel" was turned on, and everyone heard it at the same time.
Outside the archway.
Olivia could not help but tug at Elvin's sleeve and ask in a whisper.
"Elvin, what should we do?"
"Don't worry."
Elvin gently patted the girl's hand. Based on his experience with major events in the past, he still trusted Milan's prophecies. The so-called "as you wish" would not be so simple.
Their choice was "Hermit," while Bradley's choice was "Devil." In such a situation, "Return" wasn't a positive term at all.
Thud!
Without even a second of hesitation, Oathbreaker Bradley had already knelt on the ground like the most devout believer.
"My Lord, the just maker of the rules, the God of Labyrinth, Aihort!"
Clearly, as a veteran pirate, Bradley had no bottom line.
Or rather, in the Blackwing Cult, which was filled with all kinds of murderous criminals, fugitive officials, assassins, and notorious pirates, faith had always been very cheap.
In fact, as a true god, the God of Black Wings never forced these so-called believers. Their faith was not much cleaner than used toilet paper. As long as they were sincere, from the bottom of their hearts, and committed their sins consistently, that was enough.
Seeing Bradley's performance, the "Heaven Beast" didn't expect to achieve its goal so easily. It was as happy as an 800-kilogram fatty. Even its voice was a few notches higher.
"Hehehe, then … the contract is established!"
The black, withered limb waved gently.
A cup of clear silver liquid appeared in front of Bradley. It looked a little like the god-bestowed medicine Elvin had once drunk, the Cleansing Pond Water.
This time, Bradley paused for a moment. After repeatedly confirming in his heart that there was no problem with the contents of the deal, he picked up the cup of liquid that looked excellent and drank it in one gulp.
"Uh …"
However, the taste was completely different from its holy appearance. Bradley could not help but use his remaining left hand to choke his throat. This was because what entered his mouth was not a liquid like water, but thousands of small living creatures that could swim by themselves.
But before he could spit it out …
The effects of the "medicine" were immediate.
In his right arm, cheek, and the eye socket where he had lost his eye, pale flesh that was similar to the color of an Oracle's body kept growing out of the wound, quickly turning into new body tissue.
In just a few short breaths, Bradley had completely recovered.
"Aha … Hahaha!"
As the "Oathbreaker" laughed heartily, new power surged out of his body. Bradley, who was already burly, had his bones crackling and his muscles bulging. He grew to 3.2 meters tall as if he had been filled with air.
The clothes on his upper body were torn apart, revealing his perfect body.
Although he was tall, he did not feel bloated or sluggish at all. Every muscle was like perfectly polished granite, full of explosive power.
His aura was also rising. In just a short two minutes, he had reached the peak of Stage 3, not inferior to Griffith's in the slightest.
"Heh, it's time for us to settle the score."
He clenched his fist lightly. In an ear-piercing explosion, a whirlwind whistled.
Feeling the new power, Bradley, who had regained his confidence, grinned viciously. He turned his head to look at Elvin and the others outside the arched door, who were on guard for the upcoming battle.
Step …
One step, two steps.
That strong and powerful body that seemed to be hiding a Tyrannosaurus suddenly froze.
His expression struggled violently, as if it was an extremely interesting face change. After experiencing disbelief, anger, and despair, it turned into endless devotion.
He turned around and knelt before the Oracle again.
Elvin and the others, who were watching all this from afar, also slowly put down the weapons in their hands. They understood the situation.
"After the deal was made, the" Oathbreaker "Bradley has become a devout believer of the God of Labyrinth from a mental level. It's just that it's not out of his own will, but a passive distortion."
"Offering his most devout faith" was part of the deal agreed upon in advance. The "Oathbreaker" probably did not expect it to be fulfilled in such a manner.
This method of using divine power to distort faith from the depths of one's heart was not suitable for large-scale preaching and development of believers, but it was effective against independent individuals.
Since it was agreed upon in advance, such an operation naturally did not violate the rules.
Bradley, who was smart all his life, was betrayed by the Gods. In the end, he still drank the Gods' foot-washing water …
However …
Seeing this scene, even though he understood that this was part of the deal and that Bradley had set a negative example for his group, Elvin still felt a little sad for the loss of a rabbit.
After his mind was distorted, his body was still the same body, and his soul was still the same soul. However, Bradley was no longer the original Bradley.
Just as Milan had said, the "Devil" had returned.
However, at this moment …
He heard Milan suddenly speak again with an ethereal and empty tone.
"When humans give up their bottom line and submit to their desires, the offspring of Eholt's blasphemy will be born in the light."
Milan's expression was blank. Clearly, it was because of her physique as a Prophet that she had once again passively received information from the spirit world at such a critical moment.
At the same time …
The Sky Beast looked at Bradley, who was kneeling at his feet, and felt extremely satisfied. A powerful body, deep desires, no bottom line … What a perfect carrier!
And my brother will be born from this, leading us to the outside world. As a devout believer of the God of Labyrinth, how could he refuse such an "honor"?
Swaying his pitch-black limbs, the Sky Beast's voice sounded again.
"Ji ji ji, let me see if there are any other warriors here who have followed God's rules and successfully completed the maze game. Eh? Don't you have any wishes? Why are you all standing so far away? "
