A self-destruction of that scale would blow away even the entire man-made maze!

In the month that Shaga didn't notice, Shadow consumed countless magic stones in the dungeon. The magic power gathered within him was several times greater than before.

The power of his self-destruction in a fit of anger was such that it couldn't be dodged with just two legs.

Dionysus withdrew his divine power from his heart and raised his hand, saying:

"I was wrong. You can do whatever you want, just take me to Thanatos!"

The shadow felt the oppressive divine power dissipate, and the magic power that had gathered halfway was interrupted and withdrawn.

Dionysus was once again astonished by the precise control of his magic.

Before Dionysus could react, a black fiber rope tightly bound his neck.

"Hey……"

Just as he was about to speak, a tremendous force came from the rope around his neck, and his body involuntarily fell forward.

Dionysus was on all fours, lying on the ground in a very unsightly manner.

Shadow placed one foot on Dionysus's shoulder, bent down, and removed the clown mask from his face.

"Pretending to be something you're not! Do you know what you look like now?"

Dionysus's face contorted in pain: "You! What are you doing?"

Dionysus could not bear it any longer and was just about to activate his divine power again when he looked up and met a pair of eyes that glowed red in the shadows.

“I am…”

Dionysus fell silent... He obediently lay on the ground.

It would be fine if I died at the hands of Loki or Freya, but if I died at the hands of my own people, wouldn't that make me a complete clown?

Once we see Thanatos, we'll find a way to make him pay the price.

As Dionysus was thinking this, not long afterward, many members of the Dark Faction gathered around him.

Dix was the first to yell, "What are you doing now? Trying to blow up the maze completely?"

Shadow remained unmoved and lightly kicked Dionysus: "Caught a rat, but it turned out to be a biting one, so I taught it a lesson."

Valetta froze, staring at the black-robed god kneeling on the ground, a cold smile spreading across her face:

"Oh, isn't this our great benevolent god, Lord Dionysus? What brings you here? Hahaha."

Dix chuckled mischievously, "Hey, didn't we just happen to have some kind of... 'God-Making Project'? Isn't this like a godsend coming right out of the box?"

Shadow said, "To obtain the materials for the 'God Assassin,' you need sacrifices. This dog is quite good! What do you all think?"

Valeta chuckled: "Haha, not bad, how about I handle this?"

Shadow sneered disdainfully: "You? What kind of 'God Assassin' do you want to hunt? Not some little dragon or something, is it...?"

Valetta's expression froze: "At least Goliath..."

Shadow covered his face: "Goliath... that kind of trash material doesn't deserve to be the 'Core of God' at all."

He pulled hard on the rope around Dionysus's neck, making him climb faster.

"I will go out and find my prey. It must be a monster of at least level 7 to be worthy of our God of Justice."

The group's oblivious conversation displeased Dionysus, who remained lying on the ground, stumbling whenever he tried to stand up, only to be pulled back by the shadows.

Dionysus roared:

"You can't treat me like this! I am Enio! I am your collaborator!"

Upon hearing this, Valetta froze for two seconds, then covered her eyes and burst into uncontrollable laughter, her whole body trembling.

"Lord Ennio?? I've never seen a Lord Ennio who acts like a dog?"

Dix looked back at him with the same scarlet eyes:

“Lord Enio? Then, where is your henchman, Ian? Have her come out and verify your identity. We only recognize your face, Lord Dionysus.”

Dionysus was furious: "If you still want to see 'her,' you'd better listen to me..."

The shadow pulled Dionysus up and whispered in his ear:

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, Ain is no longer qualified to speak in our team, and conversely, Enio is no longer important. Do you understand?"

A few days ago, Aion's strength was greatly diminished, and Shadow seized the opportunity to severely weaken Aion's voice. Now, it is even more impossible for Aion to step forward and prove anything for Lord Dionysus.

Shadow inwardly cursed the foolishness of engaging in mysticism when one only had one direct subordinate.

He had heard that even Thanatos had never seen Enio in person, and couldn't even tell whether "He" was a man, a god, male, or female.

Under such circumstances, who would believe someone who suddenly appears claiming to be 'Enio'?

Dionysus was devastated.

As soon as he was led before Thanatos, just as Shadow had expected, Thanatos sneered:

"Oh, isn't this our Dionysus, the god of wine? Huh? Don't you think he looks like a dog?"

Olivas also wore a maniacal smile:

"As expected of Lord Shadow, daring to treat a god like a dog on a leash. To be honest, I've wanted to do that for a long time!"

Shadow shrugged: "My initial thought was to send him to his death."

Valetta looked on with admiration: "To utter words of god-slaying without a trace of expression, truly worthy of being called Lord Shadow."

Dionysus, seeing the Shadow's exalted status, couldn't help but sneer:

"You still have the mind to flatter each other? Those people up there discovered you a long time ago. They ruined your entire plan, and Ain has returned to the Celestial Realm. If you don't heed our advice, your fate will be the same as Erebus's sooner or later!"

"Huh? Ain is dead?" Valeta's voice was high-pitched, sounding like surprise, but more so like joy:

"Hahaha, isn't that even better?!"

Chapter 312 Shadow Play

"Very good?"

Dionysus was completely bewildered.

Olivas laughed:

"Even I know that your so-called Six Rings Plan is nothing but a waste."

Dix raised an eyebrow: "However, it's just right as a cover to conceal our true intentions."

Valeta laughed smugly: "Hmm...you guys are going too far. We were colleagues, after all. How about we mourn her a little? Huh? How about we send her a coffin? Hehe!"

Barka's chapped lips twitched slightly.

"Hmph, her sacrifice was worthwhile, and it's worth me stopping work for half a day to remember her."

Thanatos squinted:

"Balka-chan, everyone says that the Grim Reaper's Familiar is a flesh and blood factory, but I didn't expect your values ​​to be so horribly twisted."

The shadow slowly stepped forward:

"Ian fell on the land she knew best. How isolated and helpless she was at that time should be hard for you, the evil gods who lack empathy and only know how to cower in the labyrinth, to imagine."

"How about we hold a grand memorial service to bid farewell to our comrade?"

Revis crossed her arms, leaned against a pillar, and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, absurd and laughable."

Olivas seemed to have guessed what Shadow meant and said:

"Although the methods were too clumsy and not very effective, Aion's sacrifice is still regrettable. But her departure will not stop us from moving forward."

"But how are the preparations for Balka, the 'God of the Righteous Machine,' and the Divine Power Core progressing?"

Barka's dark eyes narrowed, revealing a maniacal smile:

"The blueprints have been cracked, but I need one crucial tool."

He looked at Dionysus:

"It is said that the black monster can devour divine power and interrupt the return of gods. To use divine knowledge according to the rules, one needs that kind of unbreakable sacred knowledge."

The shadow stood with its back to the crowd, arms outstretched:

"All the pieces have been laid, and the curtain of night has fallen. All the noble sacrifices will be etched in the shadows, to live on forever!"

"Let us offer our most solemn underground sonata for our comrades!"

Dionysus knelt on the ground, looking at the young man who was like a leader, full of confidence and power, his face filled with despair.

"I've actually become a pawn?"

……
