DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

As long as the material symbols of divine authority do not disappear, they can live on indefinitely.

In some ways, they are even more troublesome than the Fourth Calamity. They can run amok in the lower realms at will, and if caught, they can at most be sent back to the heavens. Even if they are killed, they can be resurrected after ten thousand years.

In short, they keep going back and forth, but they don't get the punishment they deserve.

"Therefore, killing one or two gods is actually meaningless. Unless all the gods are driven back to the heavens at once..."

The moment this idea came to mind, Shaka thought of Alfia.

"Perhaps, what she did was right, but she went in the wrong direction."

Thinking of this, Xia Jia took out [ST].

"Yes, that's right. Okay, that's settled then. Do as you see fit. Thank you."

The communication was disconnected.

As Xia Jia looked at the brightly lit area around the winery, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

Sometimes, death is the true liberation.

……

Dionysus Winery.

The appearance of the monsters caught the attention of the Ganesha Familia, who were patrolling the city.

They arrived here shortly after Shaga left.

Shakti, with dark circles under his eyes, looked around with an air of authority.

The guard reported:

"Commander, we detected traces of snake-like monsters moving around. We found no survivors or bodies."

Shakti frowned: "We haven't found the pillar of light sent back by the gods. Continue the search. Follow the underground tunnels."

Not long after, another guard rushed out:

"Shakti, a large number of destroyed petri dishes have been discovered underground at the winery, as well as a secret passage leading to the city's sewers. Judging from the appearance, it must have been under construction for several years."

"I...I suspect..."

Shakti frowned: "You mean to say that this was all Dionysus's doing?"

After being exposed in the man-made maze and investigating various clues, Shakti naturally uncovered some things as well.

For example, the so-called urban destroyer Enio.

There was also information gleaned from Finn about the remnants of the Dark Clan. Among these was the new, snake-like monster—the man-eating flower.

After some simple reasoning, it is easy to conclude that Dionysus was a god associated with the dark faction.

But here is the problem.

Shakti stroked his chin: "This evidence is too direct. Even if the Dark Faction is stupid, they wouldn't expose their alliance so openly... Could it be bait?"

Based on Dionysus's behavior on Earth, Shakti naturally assumed it was a frame-up by the Dark Faction.

She followed the underground tunnel, searching step by step, and quickly pinpointed the route under the nose of a dog-person girl.

In the early morning, the hardest metal gate, located beneath Daedalus Street, was found.

She slammed her fist against the door with all her might:

"It's this again... Just how many entrances are there to this man-made maze?"

The discovery of this gate is enough to confirm that the man-made maze has as many as 18 levels! That's quite an ambitious project.

The trail ends here.

Shakti did not continue the investigation but returned to Dionysus's estate to check. However, from any perspective, Dionysus had significant problems.

"Commander, what should we do?" the guard wearing the elephant mask asked helplessly.

Shakti could only wave his hand and say, "Let's call it a day. We'll make further plans after we find the Dionysus clan tomorrow."

……

A man-made maze.

Dionysus, wearing a comical clown mask and dragging his weary figure, leaned against the wall and staggered through the alley.

He clearly sensed that Philweis's benevolent response had vanished. He seemed to have no more pawns to use.

This is the downside of having someone behind the scenes.

If you're not strong enough, once your tentacles are severed, even if there's a larger scheme out there, it will be extremely difficult to re-establish your identity.

But he is now helpless.

With Aion's passing, he will completely sever his ties with the dark faction, meaning that all his plans will come to naught.

To this day, he still doesn't understand why he has fallen to this state.

Why did Aura sober up and gain even greater power? Why did Philvis die, and why did an unfamiliar armored man appear in the city?

He felt as if he were living in someone's shadow, walking step by step into a trap set by that person.

Walk forward through the passage until you reach the second door, made of the hardest metal.

He used Aion's Eye of Daedalus to open the mechanism.

The gate slowly rose, followed by the sound of leather boots stepping on the blue bricks.

Who?

Dionysus looked wary as the black-robed figure drew closer.

A colorful magic stone wrapped in eerie black fibers on the man's chest caught Dionysus's attention.

A slight smile curved the corners of his mouth beneath the black robe: "Oh? Surprisingly, a mouse has wandered into 'my' maze."

"Are you... a weirdo?"

The man in black robes retorted, "A god? Hiss? This is truly a rare guest. But it doesn't matter, we just happen to be lacking 'gods' as material..."

"I wonder what would happen if the fetal pearl were to become attached to a deity. It's something to look forward to."

Dionysus was startled by the terrifying aura, took a slight step back, and tried to remain calm, saying:

"Ha, ha... young man, don't get so hot-tempered. I'm your partner."

"A partner?" The man in black robes smiled with increasing amusement.

"I've met all my companions, but there's only one god."

As he spoke, he drew a silver crowbar and slowly approached: "Don't be afraid. Although I find your scent repulsive, I won't hurt you."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Dionysus's forehead. He thought to himself:

This doesn't seem like you mean you won't hurt me at all!

He raised his hand to stop them, saying, "I... I am Enio. Ain should have told you! Only I can contact 'TA' in the dungeon."

The man in black robes stopped and slowly raised his head, his pupils glowing red beneath his cloak.

"Enio? You?"

"Hahahaha. You're Enio?" The man in black robes threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter unrestrained and maniacal.

"A clown like you dares to call yourself a city destroyer! Stop making me laugh!"

Chapter 311 He looks like a dog.

Dionysus listened to the black-robed man's mockery, his usually gentle face now showing anger. He tightened his facial muscles, and an invisible pressure emanated from him.

The gods must not be insulted.

Children without a lower realm can insult the gods at will.

"I'll show you what true racial disparity is! Kneel down!"

The man in black robes was taken aback when he saw the deity radiating purple divine light.

Immediately, a sense of reverence rose from the bottom of my heart.

"overtake……"

He cursed under his breath, realizing he'd been tricked by this god.

Suppressing his urge to worship, he slowly channeled his own magical power...

“I am…”

A terrifying magic circle unfolded from beneath the black-robed man's feet, and a dense and domineering destructive power formed a purple cage that enveloped him and Dionysus.

Dionysus was stunned.

Self-destruction...

Is this child really that vicious? Just a slight provocation and he's willing to drag the gods down with him?

Although he was confident that the children of the lower realm would not harm him.

But you can't stop others from committing suicide!
