Chapter 994: Entering The Fourth And Last Scenario
"Is that…?!" Rita wondered.
"A-A hole… in the ground?" Lily asked.
Indeed, the thing we saw once we arrived was nothing but a tremendously deep, black hole in the continent\'s crust. It was tremendously deep though, as we couldn\'t even detect what was below it.
Surrounding this hole of several kilometers, there were several black and red altars made of the black, red, and purple crystals, most likely Demonite, the demonic ore created from miasma, nether, and demonic energy crystalized together.
There were cultists, many of them. At least over a hundred of them all gathered around the hole. The altars were shining brightly, releasing their malefic energies and connecting with one another, creating some sort of magic circle, and not a normal one, a demonic one.
A pentagram, it showed several demonic runes within itself, and it was slowly spinning. Demonic energies rushed down into the hole, beginning to slowly make the entire continent tremble.
The presence of something was being summoned from the depths of the world.
"Is this hole… Does it lead to hell or something?!" Asked Brisingra.
"I-It might be that…" Nodded Mercedes. "It isn\'t as if its rare to find special areas, places that connect to different Realms or Planes. Hell is certainly a plane that shouldn\'t exist beneath our ground so simply. But it might be possible to access to it through a hole like this, if it\'s connected to them."
"Then what do we do? We go?" Johanna asked, cracking her knuckles. "Let\'s get this done with already, Planta!"
"Yeah mom!" Elena said. "Let\'s stop them from summoning whatever the hell they\'re doing."
Elena became much more open and slightly different inside of BNLO than outside, like her whole personality became braver and more valiant.
"We are ready at any moment!" Roared General Crimson roared, he had come all the way here with his troops. They were willing to sacrifice themselves to be of some help on protecting the future of Cloudia. "Lady Planta, give the signal and my men will give their lives for you and to protect Cloudia from evil!"
I looked at everyone else, they were all ready. Their skills were being activated and so their magic spells. Everyone was overflowing with their own magical auras, their stats rising, preparing for the imminent battle.
The cultists were soon going to find out we were above. In fact, it was surprising they hadn\'t realized our presence within these few seconds we\'ve arrived over here.
So let\'s use the element of surprise for our advantage.
"Alright, let\'s do this! Everyone, behind me!"
As I roared, I leaped down from the skies above. Everyone quickly rushed down with me, separated by only a few dozens of meters. Nobody panicked when I jumped off, they knew the extent of my abilities anyways.
And then it appeared…
Ding!
[All requirements have been met! You have triggered the last scenario of the Divine Dungeon.]
[Scenario 4/4 has begun: {Defeat the two Divine Beasts guarding the Ancient Ruins and Escape with Mercedes!}
[This is it. You\'ve reached the end of the road. The last battle, where everything will be decided. You against over two hundred cultists, the entire continent of the Demon King, and whatever they\'re trying to summon.]
[Stop the summoning and change the future, save Cloudia and the rest of the world. These are the fragments of regret of the dead gods. Their last wish, their last will.]
[Please, save the past!]
[Scenario Requirements]: [Defeat the Cultists: 0/227] [Stop the Summoning: 0/1] [Protect Mercedes]
[Failure Conditions]: [Cloudia is Destroyed: 0/1] [Mercedes Dies: 0/1]
Not only do we have to fight against everything and stop the summoning, but we also need to protect Mercedes life. She\'s the last remaining "researcher" and probably holds the key on stopping the summoning altogether.
This is it!
"Let\'s do this. Great Spirit, Yggdrasil, Titania, Verdant! Please, give me your power!"
FLAAASH!
I channeled the power of all four of these deities, their divine power rushing across my body. I heard their voices cheering for me as my body transformed. I immediately activated my newest Fusion Skill.
"Let\'s get this done with, partner!" The Great Spirit said.
"I\'ll give you all the strength I have, Planta! Please, save this past, even if it\'s a recreation, even if it might be fake…!" Titania cried.
"You have my strength, child of the future." Yggdrasil spoke.
"I\'ve heard your voice, Planta. Whatever you\'re doing, I\'ll grant you my Realm\'s power." Verdant answered my call as well.
My body transformed, as I gained draconic features while remaining mostly humanoid. My size grew up to ten meters, my body gained even stronger muscles, covered now with a metallic armor of scales of blue, yellow, green, and red color. I gained two more pairs of arms, each hand with sharp, metallic and colorful claws.
Giant wings spread out of my back, my tail grew longer and thicker, with a sharp spear-like tip. I gained a second pair of rainbow-colored eyes above my forehead. My horns grew longer and moved upwards, resembling spikes.
And a halo-like crown made of my crystalized powers appeared above my head, shining brightly with three different colors, which interchanged constantly.
At the same time, I opened the portal to my Field Dimension, a hundred Spirits surged from within, fusing with my Gaia\'s All-Purpose-Tool as I transformed the weapon into a giant golden shovel with many rainbow-colored crystals embedded into it.
It shone with divine spiritual radiance, and it was over fifty meters big, larger than my own body, yet I could control it with a mere thought using my Telekinesis.
The cultists noticed what was coming too late, their minds too concentrated on their incantation.
"W-What is that?!"
A gigantic shovel descended from the skies, slamming down and destroying three out of ten altars in a matter of seconds, the entire ground was turned upside down by the massive shovel, as an explosion of spiritual energies followed.
BOOOMMM!!!
