"Heh... Is this the will of the labyrinth itself?"
Testarossa looked at the big-eyed, fleshy little [Mimi] with great interest... while the latter panicked and quickly hid behind Boss Luo.
After all, this was a terrifying creature that almost took its life, so it's normal to be afraid—does it feel like the [super artifact] it evolved into is a bit of a low-quality thing?
Mr. Luo suddenly asked, "Miss Testarossa, are you interested in this maze?"
Testarossa shook her head and said, "This labyrinth doesn't suit me... I'll pass on it. Shopkeeper Luo, you should leave it for a more suitable buyer. I think there should be quite a few of those Great Old Ones who would be very interested."
Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the [Old Ones] were once expelled from the [Mythological Side]... Has Miss Testarossa heard of this?"
Testarossa paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I feel like I heard some important information from the shopkeeper. When did this happen?"
Boss Luo didn't continue.
Clearly, the expulsion of the Great Old Ones in the previous era occurred sometime after Testarossa was rescued.
For Testarossa, this was something that only happened in the "future" of the past.
Seeing that Boss Luo didn't reveal anything, and knowing full well that the "Holy Land"... was probably just the kind of place the "Shop" was, she didn't care. Breaking into the "Shop" was easy in some ways, difficult in others, depending on one's mindset and willingness to pay the price. After all, in her knowledge, no one had ever successfully gotten something for free from the "Holy Land."
“However, one of the important pieces of information about this labyrinth, the Lord of R'lyeh, I did see its head floating in the void once,” Testarossa suddenly said.
"Oh?"
Testarossa continued to scrutinize little [Mimi]. "I wonder who cut it off. I did consider taking it back then, but it was just too disgusting, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. However, it seems that the body of the Lord of R'lyeh, which should have been incomplete, is now complete again?"
Little [Mimi]: ...
Boss Luo glanced at Xiao Mimi indifferently.
[The Will of the Labyrinth] immediately shuddered.
It was just about to show off its skills and take down a mere Testarosa, but it almost got killed instead!
Feeling that her worth had plummeted in front of Boss Luo, Little Mimi immediately wanted to perform well again.
Then, lines of blood-red text began to appear.
—【It was a guy named Caesar who provided me with the lost head of the Lord of R'lyeh.】
The text concisely described what happened inside the [Heart of the Labyrinth]... Testarossa read it carefully, "Why did he help you complete the last part?"
—【I don't know. That guy just asked me to drag everyone here into a nightmare as much as possible, saying he wouldn't start the next step until I finished. And then, I met my current master!】
“Caesar?” Testarossa murmured the name.
Mr. Luo casually asked, "Does Miss Testarossa recognize this name?"
Testarossa shook her head. "There are quite a few people with this name. If I really remember, there are actually a few, but... barring any unforeseen circumstances, those guys shouldn't appear in this era like I do. I feel that this name might just be a forgery."
"Is that the [Demon Sword] Caesar?"
Just then, [Xiang Feihu] and Ah Xiruo and the others walked over together.
Clearly, Ah Xiruo has already communicated with Li Huamei and the others, and the two sides have temporarily reached a peaceful coexistence.
“Oh, you know this person?” Testarossa showed interest.
[Xiang Feihu] glanced at everyone and nodded. "When [Ziyue] came up, I sent people to investigate the [Sea God] treasure. According to the information I had gathered before, this [Demon Sword] Caesar, along with several other Void Hunters, seems to be the ones behind the treasure event. I have a vague feeling that there should be a real mastermind behind them."
Zhang Bolu asked calmly, "Any other discoveries?"
Li Huamei shook her head, "The time was too short."
Ah Xi Ruo thought for a moment and turned to Testarossa, "I remember, when I first walked out of the upper temple, I did see a strange guy. The one who fought that guy should have been your subordinate."
“Gazef?” Testarossa couldn’t help but ponder. “Then, who fought against Gazef?”
“It’s gone.” Ah Xi Ruo shrugged, then her gaze sharpened as she stared directly at Xiao [Mimi]. “Have you tried to project my fears onto me time and time again?”
Oops!
Xiao Mimi's heart skipped a beat. This guy seems to hold a grudge?
But the new owner's attitude...
The blood-red characters changed in a series of shifts.
—【I am a magical instrument of integrity.】
It is said that Caesar completed its final part, so it faithfully intends to fulfill Caesar's request.
"You're quite something?" Ah Xiruo sneered immediately—I'll just listen to her.
[Xiang Feihu] hurriedly asked, "[Luo], have you really conquered this maze?"
Boss Luo said, "You could say that."
Li Huamei quickly said, "Then, can you stop the maze from doing its thing, outside...?"
What has already happened cannot be undone, but what is about to happen can be stopped... Meeting [Xiang Feihu]'s expectant gaze, Boss Luo simply chuckled, "The maze has just completed its evolution and urgently needs a large amount of energy to fill it."
[Xiang Feihu] couldn't help but open his mouth.
“However, since it’s your request, Hua Mei, then fine.” Unexpectedly, Boss Luo immediately added, “Temporarily suspend the absorption of the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness, Labyrinth.”
—【Right away! Also, Master, my name is Mimi!】
With such a powerful master, what more could one ask for...? Little Mimi immediately deactivated the effect of Eye of the Maze!
To create a "super artifact," you need to have the vision of a "super artifact." Are you afraid you won't have another chance in the future?
For a [Super Artifact], the Gorge of [Freedom and Unbridled Spirit] is far too small—it should be in its master's hands, surveying the entire Void Sea... No, no, no, its journey should be across the [Four Great Sides] of the Void!
"Thank you so much, [Luo]!" [Xiang Feihu] breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Boss Luo. "I really don't know how to thank you enough."
...Then it was Ah Xiruo's turn to feel a jolt in her heart, and she stared intently at Luo Qiu with a look that said, "What are you doing? Something's not right."
—Hua Mei, Hua Mei, you should be more careful. After all… all the gifts have been clearly marked! Didn’t you hear this scoundrel say it was only “temporary”?
"No need for thanks," Boss Luo said with a smile. "If I need anything in the future, I'd be happy if Hua Mei could help me too... It would be a win-win situation."
"Of course!" [Xiang Feihu] chuckled. "We Void Pirates are willing to go to great lengths for our friends!"
Zhang Bolu's lips twitched slightly.
—No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
Upon hearing this, Testarossa suddenly transmitted her voice to Boss Luo and said, "Manager Luo, now that the control of the [Freedom and Unbridled] Gorge has been lifted, is it also possible to..."
Boss Luo glanced at her casually.
Testarossa said calmly, "Understood."
She had obviously noticed that the conversation had been cut off... She guessed that the shopkeeper probably wanted to temporarily conceal her identity from [Xiang Feihu] and the others, which was why she used the word "temporarily"?
As for the reason, Testarossa didn't really want to delve into it.
This Manager Luo wasn't as domineering as the former Lord of the Holy Land, which was enough to make Testarossa feel incredible.
...They seem to be two completely different extremes.
Zhang Bolu thought for a moment and said, "Captain Luo, do you know the whereabouts of Raizo and that Lady Shinone?"
Captain Luo glanced at the Labyrinth Will.
—【This is strange. I know they're still in the maze, but I can't pinpoint their exact location!】
"That eight-foot-tall woman, wasn't she created by you?" Ah Xi Ruo asked suspiciously.
—【But I was also created by Raizo. Moreover, I only gradually developed my own independent consciousness later on.】
"What the heck?" Ah Xi Ruo asked in astonishment, "So you can't completely control this maze?"
—【Sure! But I'm not sure if Raizo set up any hidden mechanisms or created any 'backdoors' I'm unaware of before I was born!】
The maid is very familiar with things like opening a "back door".
She does this all the time—she's talking about things like the "Heavenly Kingdom" system!
Moreover, this is the most routine operation for creators.
Ah Xi Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Then sealing off this maze to prevent the creatures inside from escaping should work, right? Those [Weeping Angels] are too troublesome!"
Little Mimi had no objection, but its master only asked it to pass through the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness, without saying that the control within the maze would be lifted... So many Weeping Angels were its only remaining food, and it couldn't possibly let them go.
Furthermore, given the characteristics of the [Crying Angels], they themselves are unable to leave.
But at this moment, Xi Ruo felt as if she had forgotten something. As she frowned, a sudden noise came.
Testarossa paused, then instinctively looked up.
The maze wall was violently smashed down in another place, and then two figures, in a fierce struggle, broke into the heart of the maze.
One of them, violently hacking away, was none other than the [Radiant King] who should have been shot down by Testarossa!
As for the other one...
The witch coldly declared, "He is none other than the Demon Sword, Caesar!"
【Xiang Feihu】 cast a questioning glance at him.
Miss Witch quickly added, "I saw him during the mobilization of the treasure hunting army!"
[Xiang Feihu] nodded, this was consistent with the information she had.
But the witch was now incredulous. "[Demon Sword] Caesar was actually able to fight [Radiant King] to this extent... His strength is so terrifying, and he's just a silver-ranked hunter?"
"Fighting?" Testarossa shook her head slightly and said calmly, "I'm afraid the opponent hasn't even used divine magic. On the other hand, the projection of [Radiant King] is really fighting desperately."
Upon hearing this, the witch's expression became even more incredulous... It seemed that Caesar was also struggling quite a bit while defending, as if the [Radiant King] could cut him in two with a single sword strike at any moment!
The witch gradually began to see some clues.
Caesar looked quite disheveled at this moment.
But amidst this disarray, he always manages to narrowly escape danger, giving people the illusion that if they just try a little harder, they can definitely defeat him...?
—【Master, it was he who gave me the head of the Lord of R'lyeh.】
Boss Luo glanced at the blood-red words and suddenly chuckled, "Miss Long, you have been granted one opportunity to use an off-site prop. Would you like to use it?"
"Huh?" Ah Xiruo, who was engrossed in watching, turned around in surprise upon hearing this. "What prop?"
"Tickets for different stages of a treasure hunt game," Boss Luo said with a smile. "They're like those treasure chests you can claim based on how long you're online."
"...What a piece of trash, this green bubble scam app!" Ah Xiruo was speechless. After a moment's hesitation, she thought, "Even though it's a scam app, I've already clicked on it, so why not just take it?" "Then give it to me!"
Then Boss Luo chuckled softly and twitched his fingers slightly.
So Little Mimi flew uncontrollably toward Ah Xiruo.
Without a second thought, Ah Xiruo slapped the disgusting thing onto the ground and angrily said, "What are you doing!"
"Congratulations, Miss Long, you have temporarily obtained the right to use the [Maze]."
"Huh?" Ah Xiruo was completely stunned, staring incredulously at the eyeball that had been slapped onto the floor.
Little Mimi was also completely bewildered... her eyes were filled with confusion.
It was as if only the world that was injured achieved this.
"Can I really use it?" Ah Xi Ruo suppressed her nausea and used her "Dragon Qi" to conjure a small dragon claw, lifting up Xiao [Mimi]—using the claw that had been conjured, not grabbing her!
I really dislike it.
Mr. Luo nodded with a smile and asked curiously, "So, Miss Long, how do you plan to use it?"
Ah Xi Ruo couldn't help but frown. She really couldn't figure out the other party's intentions... Usually at times like this, she would silently observe the black-hearted maid's reaction and could often see a clue.
For example, if the black-hearted maid showed even the slightest displeasure, she knew that things were definitely not bad—conversely, if the black-hearted maid showed pleasure, then she had most likely been tricked.
However, the maid did not react at all.
Does it mean neither good nor bad?
"So, I'm really going to use it?" Ah Xi Ruo said hesitantly, "...If I mess it up, don't blame me!"
Boss Luo gestured for her to leave and whispered in her ear, "I've already said, this is your game... Enjoy it."
W-what?!
It felt itchy and soft, like someone gently blowing a breath into her ear. Ah, Xi Ruo felt a tingling sensation.
The true dragon of Shenzhou rolled his eyes at the dog of a man with a rare hint of charm.
However, she suddenly felt that the little [Mimi] wasn't so disgusting anymore.
"Hey!"
—【What are your orders?】
Just as Xiao Mimi felt that something was wrong and wondered if this guy would take the opportunity to retaliate, Ah Xiruo said calmly, "That Caesar guy, just project his fear out."
——【？？】
Ah Xi Ruo sneered, "Didn't he tell you to control the fear of everyone who enters the maze? Then let him experience what it's like to be dominated by fear. You... you can't do it, can you?"
—【I am, the ultimate artifact!!!】
"Hehehehe."
Testarosa covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Little Mimi was immediately embarrassed... However, a huge dark golden eyeball appeared again—Little Mimi was now covered in a thin layer of dark golden light.
Clearly, after repeated failures, it, the [Golden Nightmare Maze], the [Super Artifact], needs to redeem itself!
……
"It seems like we're being targeted..."
Caesar, who had blocked the Brilliant King's furious attack, was also slammed into a wall by the opponent's brute force.
The moment the Eye of the Labyrinth opened before him, Caesar couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.
"However, what I fear..."
Caesar suddenly chuckled, then met the gaze of the Eye of the Labyrinth with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Hopefully, you can really project [it] out, little guy."
