Trapped in the Maze

As the scene before us shifted, I realized we were in an arena!

The high platforms were packed with people, and the noise was like the continuous rumble of thunder in summer, just like the gladiatorial arena in Tam!

Is this what Maze Array looks like?

When I described this scene, everyone was surprised; it turned out that what we saw was completely different!

Wood Dragon Sean saw was a lush, verdant forest, the place where he had lived in his youth. 🎈💛 💜🔥

The rock dragon Strucker saw a landscape surrounded by mountains, the same place where he had lived in his youth.

Zoe sees a sunset over the sea, Leona sees the Solar Cult's sacred temple, Diana sees the New Moon Cult's temple, and the Empowerment Aspect Nokel sees a desolate snowfield...

In short, these are all scenes from our youth!

Even the Maze Aspect Germans was powerless to change this, as the labyrinth was his creation, but it had been completely altered by the Void Lord.

The Lighthouse Aspect, Aivena, was very calm. She was the oldest of these Aspects, and the Lighthouse's power symbolized direction.

"We must never separate, otherwise we really won't be able to get out of here."

"Do you have any ideas about Aivena?" Germans asked her.

"I believe every labyrinth has an exit, just as the Void Lord was able to break free of our formation."

"But I've studied this maze for so long, and it's always a dead end with no way out!"

"That's because our hearts aren't pure enough, or rather, steadfast enough. Do you remember what the Void Lord said?"

"What?"

He said that neither seals nor mazes can trap a confused mind, which means we have all sorts of doubts in our hearts. If we can adjust them properly, we can definitely get out of here.

"That's too difficult. We've lived for thousands of years, and you're over ten thousand. How can you change the personality you've developed over so many years?"

Let's try to find our way first!

That being said, we simply cannot act together because our circumstances are different, and we are all on different paths.

For example, I was thinking of going out through the door, but there's a sheer cliff on Strucker's side, and Zoe's path leads directly to the sea.

Just when we were at a loss, the Void Lord suddenly appeared!

In what I saw, he stood opposite us, like a brave gladiator fighting against a crowd.

He pointed at Sean and said, "Ancient Wood Dragon, I'm looking forward to seeing how you unleash your power in this forest. Come on, defeat me!"

After saying that, he attacked Sean directly. We wanted to help but couldn't, because they were like phantom images!

Sean transformed into a colossal dragon, wielding sharp fangs and Claws as weapons as he charged forward.

Upon seeing this Void Lord also changed his size, becoming a creature as large as Cho'Gath, and their battle instantly turned into a contest between monsters.

However, Wood Elemental Power was not a fighting force, Sean was completely unable to withstand the Void Lord's attacks. He quickly had one wing torn off, followed by his legs and throat...

Strucker was furious; his body trembled, and the surrounding buildings shook.

"Strucker the Rock Dragon, I hope you can hold out a little longer." As the Void Lord called out their names, they began to fight.

Strucker did not transform into a dragon, but fought in human form. The Void Lord also transformed back into human form, and they fought claw to claw.

Their fighting style is perfectly suited to my situation; it's a gladiatorial contest!

The two engaged in a fierce battle, fighting tooth and nail for quite some time, until Strucker could no longer hold on.

The Void Lord had ripped a large hole in his chest, and blood gushed out.

However, he did not fall; instead, he grew considerably larger, much like Strack's Gauntlet.

Unfortunately, this change only delayed his death; as the Void Lord seized his neck, the Rock Dragon finally fell.

At that moment, the audience on the platform erupted in deafening screams, a scene exactly like my own experience back then!

"Next... Empowerment Aspect? Let me see what you've got up your sleeve in the snowfields."

Nokel did not react after being called out, perhaps knowing he was no match for the Void Lord and preferring to ignore him rather than play along with his twisted sense of humor.

The Void Lord wasn't angry; instead, he changed his target. "Lighthouse Aspect, is your lighthouse still burning?"

Germans calmly replied, "The lighthouse will always guide the beings of this world; the void is ultimately empty."

"You're right, the void is indeed empty, and I would need your own power to defeat you. But have you ever heard of something coming from nothing?"

"I don't want to argue with you about these pointless things. The Aspect Power will not perish; it will only be passed on to the next host!"

"Let me ask the others, Twilight Aspect, do you remember this beach?"

"Of course, this is where I met Pantheon."

"Then do you want to duel me? If you win, I can let you live on this beach forever."

Zoe raised an eyebrow after hearing this, clearly intrigued, but quickly realized it was impossible.

Even if Pantheon were still alive, the Void Lord would only use such a simple trick as illusions to deceive her.

"Actually, you're quite pitiful. We all have a beautiful world in our hearts, but you don't."

"I don't need it."

"You don't exist at all!"

"But I can kill you, kill all living beings."

Do you think I'm scared?

Like Nokel, Zoe is completely unafraid of the Void Lord's oppressive aura, but I can't just watch them die here in vain; I need to at least increase their chances of survival.

"You've said too much. Now I'll be your opponent!"

"Yasuo, I can't bear to kill you. Ryze said you're a unique being, a leader of the new humanity."

"Only by destroying the void can I become the leader of the new humanity!"

"Alright, let's have a gladiatorial contest then!"

Seeing that the Void Lord was about to fight me, I quickly told Zoe and the others to escape. Regardless of whether we could get out of this maze, we had to try!

The Void Lord ignored them, instead transforming into someone roughly my size, wanting to have a gladiator duel!

I knew that no matter what move I used, he would retaliate with the same move, but with even greater power, so I simply resorted to the most basic strike:

Bare-handed, yet every punch lands squarely!

Surprisingly, this clumsy attack method actually worked. The Void Lord took several punches from me, and his face was swollen from all the blows!

Of course, I wasn't feeling well either; several of my teeth were knocked out, and my tongue was both sore and numb.

We each threw a dozen or so punches at each other, and eventually we both collapsed.

"Ouch, that hurts! You hit too hard, Yasuo!"

"Ha, I feel like you're about to beat me to death."

"That's such a pity! I was hoping you would lead a new generation of humans!"

"Humans are humans. New humans should have their own name. Simply adding 'new' before 'human' is too perfunctory."

"That's right, so what should we call him? Hmm... can you help me think of something? Yasuo? Yasuo? You..."

I felt my brain slowly losing consciousness, and the voice of the Void Lord was becoming increasingly inaudible.

A chilling sensation slowly enveloped me. Was I going to die?
