The Final Battle

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..."

Deep within the labyrinth, a series of explosions resounded, the tremendous noise causing most monsters within a few thousand meters to keep their distance.

But there are always some people with lower IQs who act on instinct alone, drawn by the vibrations and sounds, mechanically heading towards the epicenter.

For example, this Armor Monster... it's less of a living being and more like a machine. It gets activated whenever there's any movement nearby, then draws its longsword and, with mechanical steps, twists and turns until it arrives at the location of the explosion...

To be precise, there was no place left. All the walls, floors, and ceilings within a radius of hundreds of meters had vanished, as if a spherical pit had been carved out from the middle of a complex maze. In the center of this pit, near a circular Space Crack, Chaos Monster were constantly emerging, while a young man wielding a hammer was relentlessly blasting them apart.

Even though those Chaos Monster have no fixed form and are almost immune to physical damage, in the face of absolute power, even air and water will have their molecular structure broken, let alone life!

However, the Armor Monster was unaware of the danger it was facing and continued to follow its instincts, heading towards the direction of the most intense tremors. But before it could even get close, it was destroyed by a shockwave and scattered in the ruins.

As for Luo Jun, standing in Teleportation Gate, he fought with increasing enthusiasm and found more and more enjoyment in killing!

Finally, after annihilating hundreds of Chaos Monster, the Teleportation Gate fell silent...

"Is it over?" Luo Jun shook the mud off his hammer, looking at the slowly recovering ruins around him, still somewhat unsatisfied.

Just then, the Teleportation Gate, which had been calm, suddenly began to shake violently, and a powerful aura emanated from it.

"Something big is coming!" Luo Jun gripped the hammer tightly warily, but couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

Soon, a large hand reached out from inside the door and slammed down in front of Luo Jun with a loud bang.

This hand, just the palm alone is bigger than a person, the arm is as thick and long as a tree trunk, and the texture of the skin is the same as other monsters, so smooth that it looks like Game model without textures loaded.

"Finally, they've appeared!" Luo Jun laughed, Finger Merchant. Over the years, they had killed and captured many Chaos Creature. After research, they found that these monsters were all of the same origin. Rather than being a certain race, they were more like countless clones of a certain Chaos Monster!

Therefore, Thumb speculates that these Chaos Monster should have a mother entity, and what has been invading the labyrinth all along is only the mother entity's clones... or offspring!

And now, this terrifying giant hand, with its overwhelming pressure, is clearly the Mother's appearance!

Luo Jun was a man of principle, and seeing that the mother hadn't fully emerged yet, he swung his hammer and smashed it down on the giant hand in front of him!

Boom!

A powerful surge of energy shattered the giant hand into countless pieces by Luo Jun's hammer, sending mud-like fragments flying everywhere.

The giant hand was clearly in pain; its arm twitched, and then countless tentacles split off from its arm, attacking Luo Jun!

Faced with these long, thin, and swift tentacles, the hammer was clearly not very effective. Luo Jun raised his left hand, his fingers forming a knife shape, and his qi stretched out to form a sharp sword. He swung the sword at the incoming tentacles, severing them all!

The mother entity clearly wasn't ready to give up, continuing to split its tentacles. Meanwhile, more tissues began to crawl out of the Space Gate, and the entrance, which was originally of limited size, was forced to expand, tear apart, and emit unstable fluctuations under the pressure of the enormous mother entity!

"It's done!" Luo Jun chuckled inwardly. This was also part of his and Thumb's plan!

Even if we find the entrance, so what? It's just a Space Gate; what means are there to destroy it? Are we expecting Luo Jun to crawl through the portal and storm their base?

Regardless of the inherent dangers of fighting on foreign soil, and even if there are any restrictions at the entrance, the very possibility of getting through is questionable. And even if they successfully stormed the enemy base, if they can't seal off the entrance, who can guarantee that nothing else won't try to sneak in later?

After several discussions, they finally settled on a plan.

Why hasn't the Matrix invaded the labyrinth all these years?

There should be limitations imposed by the maze's own rules, but more likely, it's the load-bearing capacity of the entrance!

The invasion of Chaos Creature into Chaos Mission is not permitted by the rules. The more powerful the creature, the more difficult it is to invade. Based on experience, the strength of the mother creature must be far greater than that of an ordinary individual. Therefore, if a forced invasion is carried out, the load on the entrance will be extremely large!

Therefore, Luo Jun deliberately slaughtered the Chaos Creature to anger the Mother and force her to intervene. In this way, the entrance that the Mother forcibly passed through would likely become unstable due to overload, making it easier to operate!

Seeing that the mother body had already emerged more than halfway, Luo Jun continued his attack while simultaneously extending his battle line backward, luring the mother body to completely emerge from the entrance. Once the mother body had completely passed through, the entrance was no longer a standard circle as before, but rather an irregular shape that kept changing!

Now!

Luo Jun dodged the mother's attack with a quick movement, then swung his hammer, drawing an arc in the air as he headed straight for the Teleportation Gate behind it!

During the flight, Luo Jun had already taken out a bead that was shimmering with Space Fluctuation. When he passed the entrance, he tossed it in!

The bead exploded the moment it entered the entrance, and the two shockwaves mingled together, making the already unstable entrance even more chaotic, and it looked like it was about to collapse!

At this moment, the mother body also sensed Luo Jun's intention and immediately turned around, trying to stabilize the entrance!

No, it's not quite there yet!

Luo Jun gritted his teeth, adjusted the Myriad Jun Hammer in his hand to ten kilograms, gripped the chain and spun it around, then used all his strength to smash it towards the entrance, while also adjusting the weight of the hammer to the maximum!

The highest speed, combined with the greatest weight, unleashed the most powerful blow!

Boom!

The massive impact released terrifying energy, blasting Luo Jun and the mother body away. Intense flames and arcs of electricity engulfed the entrance, creating a huge Molten Pit in the supposedly indestructible labyrinth!

After everything settled down, Luo Jun turned around and saw that only a trace of Space Fluctuation remained at the location of the previous entrance...

It worked!

Luo Jun excitedly raised the hammer, while the Mother, seeing this, was completely enraged, letting out a terrifying roar and charging towards Luo Jun!

The most troublesome part is yet to come...

Luo Jun stared at the enraged mother creature and gripped the hammer tightly in his hand.

Ordinary monsters can be taken down with a single blow, but the mother monster is too big, and its physical strength is incomparable to that of ordinary monsters. This is likely to be a tough battle!

However, Luo Jun was least afraid of head-on confrontation. Just as he was preparing to meet the challenge head-on, the surrounding maze suddenly trembled violently, and he could feel unusually active spatial disturbances...

This is... Luo Jun frowned. He was slightly distracted, and the mother creature on the other side pounced on him!

Just then, a fireball suddenly shot out, hitting the mother body squarely and exploding, knocking its massive body off balance...

Who is it?

Luo Jun turned his head and saw a young man with red hair rushing towards him, his hands still burning with flames.

"A member of the Chen Family?" Luo Jun frowned. The red-haired youth's features were somewhat similar to Chen Jin, whom he had killed before, but they were not the same person.

"Chen Xiao from the Vermillion Bird Town Chen Family has come to lend his support!"

Chen Xiao and Luo Jun were startled. Wasn't that the Senior had been trapped in the maze and turned into Phasing Monster years ago?

Just as they were in shock, the enormous mother creature returned, sending out several tentacles!

At that moment, another agile figure leaped over, drawing a crescent-shaped arc in the air, sharp as a razor, and swiftly severed all the tentacles!

The figure somersaulted and landed lightly beside Luo Jun. Turning her head, she smiled sweetly, and her face bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to the Ring Finger Merchant!

"It's you? Ring Finger?" Luo Jun was taken aback. The woman smiled and said, "Before merging with Ring Finger, I had my own name! I'm Ling Yue, Ling Family Royal Member!" At this moment, footsteps sounded around them again. Luo Jun turned his head and saw several ethereal armies converging through the walls. When they arrived at the scene, one monster after another sprang out from the ranks. After leaving the ranks, they shed their monstrous forms and gained physical bodies, all attacking the enormous mother entity!

"Mantis Blade Guang Fu has come to lend a hand!"

"Kaleidoscope Zhuge Huai, has come to lend a hand!"

"White Dragon Jiang Tao of the Waves, is here to lend his support!"

"Ben Lei Hand Wen Tai, has come to lend a hand!"

"Flying Xiu Nian on the Car has come to lend a hand!"

"Iron Leg Cloud Soaring on Water Yun Zhongfei, Here to Lend a Hand!"

"Qiankun Society Chief Chen Jianan, has come to lend his support!"

"Thunderbolt Five Section Whip Ma Dayi, here to lend a hand."

"Monster, take this!"

"Try Grandpa's dog-beating stick!"

"Here comes the little flying stick!"

One monster after another transformed back into human form. Some introduced themselves, while others immediately grabbed their weapons and charged. Judging from their names and attire, these people likely spanned nearly a hundred years of time. They were not originally from the same era, but because of this damned Chaos, they were trapped in the Endless Maze until today!

Seeing so many experts rushing towards the monster, Luo Jun was momentarily dazed.

"You've closed the entrance, and the biggest source of distortion in the maze has been resolved." An aged voice came from behind him. Luo Jun turned around and saw an Old Man standing behind him, whose features were very similar to the monster in the altar.

"Thumb ...no, Senior Zhuge." Luo Jun cupped his hands in greeting. "Doesn't that mean that those trapped in the maze can also be freed?"

"That's right..." Zhuge Gan nodded. "All the distorted rules are being corrected, the maze is shrinking, the Black Shop and the second floor of the rest area will also disappear, and we will finally regain our human form..."

"Now is the time for us to take revenge on this damned monster!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Gan stepped forward and joined the ranks of those attacking the Mother!

Numerous experts rushed forward one after another, but the Mother Body was ultimately too powerful. Many experts were killed in a single encounter, but the newcomers did not waver in the slightest and continued to charge forward with determination!

Luo Jun was also moved by their tragic spirit of facing death without flinching, so he picked up his hammer and joined the punitive expedition.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the mother organism was completely destroyed...

Watching the Chaos Substance dissipate, Luo Jun looked at Zhuge Gan: "Now, it's all over..."

"No, not yet..." Zhuge Gan stepped forward, picked up a huge Gold Ingot from the womb, and held it in his hands. "For us, it's over, but for you, it's not."

"Me?" Luo Jun was slightly taken aback, and then he saw the figures of the survivors begin to fade, slowly disappearing one by one into the wind.

"They... how come... didn't they say they could be freed?"

"This is liberation," Zhuge Gan laughed. "We've been trapped here for countless years, all for this day. Now that the Mother Body has been destroyed and the entrance closed, we've naturally lost our reason for existence and can finally return to the world..."

"And you, my friend, you still have to complete this mission and return to the Main World."

As he spoke, before they completely disappeared, Zhuge Gan gathered all the Gold Ingot dropped by the nearby dead monsters, and then exchanged them for banknotes.

"Gold Ingot are a feature that came with the Black Shop. The Endless Maze is becoming more normalized; banknotes are the real currency here." Zhuge Gan piled banknotes in front of Luo Jun, like a small mountain. "This is the last thing I can do for you."

"Thank you..." Luo Jun cupped his hands in thanks, but Zhuge Gan shook his head. "We should be thanking you... Besides, these banknotes aren't just for free... I'd like to ask you for a small favor."

As he spoke, Zhuge Gan's body began to dissipate.

"After you leave, if possible, I hope you can take care of Xiao Zi for me. Among my grandchildren, Xiao Zi and Xiao Lan inherited their mother's talents, which are the most special. However, compared to Xiao Lan, who is outgoing, Xiao Zi is withdrawn... When she was little, this girl loved to cling to me, her grandfather, and I loved her the most..."

"If one day, some great upheaval or crisis occurs, I hope you can lend a hand to the Zhuge Family... or at least help me protect Xiao Zi."

Luo Jun frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Senior, what are you talking about? A major crisis? A major upheaval? Do you know something about it?"

"Whether he knows or not is no longer important," Zhuge Gan sighed. "Consider it the final words of a dying man..."

As he spoke, Zhuge Gan's figure vanished completely...

Luo Jun sighed, picked up the banknotes from the ground, and turned to walk away.

Now that the maze is back to normal, the exits shouldn't be wandering around anymore. As a result, the items obtained from the Black Shop and the second floor of the rest area are no longer usable.

The only truly helpful item for finding the exit is the Exit Indicator. Of course, Luo Jun hasn't been idle these past three hundred days; he's accumulated quite a few Exit Indicator in his backpack, and he's not worried about using them now.

Considering the size of the maze, he was prepared for a long run, but unexpectedly, Luo Jun found the exit before even using up the first Exit Indicator.

Was it that the exit just happened to appear nearby at the last moment? Or did the entire maze shrink considerably?

Luo Jun stopped worrying about these things, stepped forward and pushed open the door. This time, he didn't even need to verify anything and let him through directly.

Luo Jun's body was enveloped in a burst of light, and the level completion settlement began at the same time.
