"Spirit"

The information that Leo and Ais brought back this time was extremely valuable, allowing Finn and the others to see many things they hadn't seen before.

First of all, a hidden force, or rather a hidden underground alliance, must have emerged in this city and deep within its Dungeon.

There are currently two known factions within this underground alliance.

The first is a force centered around "her".

The members of this force include, but are not limited to, Revis, the white-haired man, and the Masked Man, among other strange beings. These beings are both human and monsters, abnormal life forms that transcend common sense, and they can control a large number of colorful monsters, including but not limited to worms, Man-Eating Flower, and Giant Flower. They are also cultivating Jewel Fetus that can give birth to female-sized monsters.

Her identity is currently unknown, but it is certain that all the monsters were born because of her, and she is currently in the Dungeon and seems unable to leave on her own. Otherwise, the white-haired man would not have said that her wish is to see the sky and that he would lift the obstructing cover to let her out of the dark underground.

The second force is the Evilus.

The Evilus is no stranger to Finn, Riveria Ljos Alf, or Gareth.

Until five years ago, before the end of the city's Dark Period, they, along with their Loki Familia companions and other Familias in the city, fought against these beings who sought to disrupt order, under the Guild's direction.

It can be said that they were the main enemies of the Evilus at the time, and Finn and others also played a very important and crucial role in the end of the Dark Period five years ago.

Now, these enemies, whom they had once defeated, have returned with a vengeance and have even colluded with the forces of the monsters. This undoubtedly indicates that both sides have a common goal or enemy and are about to do something detrimental to the city and to themselves.

To this end, they helped the strange people build so-called Seedbed in the food warehouses on various floors of the Dungeon, where they cultivated Man-Eating Flower, Giant Flower, and Jewel Fetus, silently accumulating strength.

Whether it's the 24th Floor of the Dungeon or the 30th Floor where Hassanna Dorria, a member of the Ganesha Familia who has since sacrificed herself, once went and brought back the Jewel Fetus, the food storage areas there were all converted into Seedbed, leading to an abnormal surge in the number of monsters.

Finn, Riveria Ljos Alf, and Gareth were all certain that deeper within the Dungeon, there were definitely more food depots that had been converted into breeding Seedbed for colorful monsters and Jewel Fetus. The worm-like and female-shaped creatures that appeared on the 50th Floor 51st Floor were very likely to have crawled out of these Seedbed on deeper floors and were eventually encountered by them during their expedition.

The incident on the 18th Floor was caused by Hassanna Dorria taking the Jewel Fetus from the Seedbed on the 30th Floor. In order to retrieve the stolen Jewel Fetus, Revis went so far as to kill people in the adventurers' underground supply station, but her efforts were thwarted by the appearance of Leo and Ais.

By combining this intelligence, the enemy's origins and objectives gradually came to light. Although many things remained unclear, a general outline was finally formed.

"The question now is—who exactly is 'she'? Is she human or a monster, and why does she possess the ability to create monsters?"

Finn pointed this out.

"While the remnants of the Evilus are certainly a concern, behind them are none other than one or more evil gods who were not exiled back then. And according to you, the abilities of these remnants are nowhere near those of the Evilus during the Dark Period five years ago."

Five years ago, when the city was still in Dark Period, the Evilus possessed the power to shake the entire city. To deal with them, Finn and his companions used every trick in the book, and finally, they even employed cunning to achieve victory.

The remnants of the Evilus are now so weak that they can't even stand up to the adventurers of the Hermes Familia, and can only try to win by self-destruction. In Finn's view, this is not a concern at all.

Therefore, what he was truly concerned about was the power of the eccentrics, and the one to whom they were loyal—"her".

This "she" may be the root of everything, and the Evilus clearly chose to assist her because they valued her abilities.

Their purpose is quite easy to guess.

"That's right, there's no doubt about it now."

Riveria Ljos Alf and Gareth then made their statements.

The Evilus's goal is obvious: to overthrow the order of the Lower World realm and the city, and to plunge everything into chaos.

Her purpose is now obvious: to leave the Dungeon and come to the surface. To this end, the strange people are preparing to destroy the "lid" of the Dungeon, which is the chalk tower that seals the entrance to the Dungeon - the Babel Tower.

This is no different from wanting to Power of Destruction the Labyrinth City Orario.

After all, once the Babel Tower is destroyed and the entrance to the Dungeon is opened, the surface will inevitably be like it was a thousand years ago before Orario appeared, with countless monsters pouring out of the Dungeon, eventually overwhelming the surface and plunging it into complete chaos.

Both share the same goal and are naturally destined to be enemies of the entire Orario faction.

As one of the strongest factions in the Labyrinth City Orario, and also the city's main fighting force, the Loki Familia will definitely be targeted.

The Loki Familia is a thorn in the side of the enemy, especially the Evilus. If there are any survivors from the Dark Period five years ago, they will definitely hate the Loki Familia, the main force that wiped out their city back then.

Furthermore, with those strange individuals and the monsters they control blocking the Dungeon, and even obstructing their path to unexplored territories, hostility between the two sides is inevitable, and only one side can survive.

In that case, Finn and the others naturally had to figure out who this "she" who was the source of everything was.

Do you have any leads on this?

Finn had taken this very seriously and asked Leo and Ais questions carefully.

"Just a little bit is fine, even something questionable is acceptable. If you have any discoveries or doubts about this incident, you can bring them up."

Upon hearing this, Ais frowned, while Leo sensed that his opportunity had arrived.

I had originally planned to reveal some important information to the clan, providing information to expose the mastermind's identity, and now I'm taking this opportunity to say it.

Of course, we still need to carefully consider how to put it, otherwise the source of the intelligence will be impossible to explain.

With this in mind and having already come up with some solutions, Leo immediately spoke to Finn.

"That strange woman named Revis said something after the Masked Man appeared."

The first person to react to Leo's statement was none other than Ais, who was also present at the time.

Ais heard it too; Revis did indeed say something.

"Enyo send you?"

She mentioned this name.

"Enyo?"

Finn and his two companions immediately frowned.

This is a very unfamiliar name.

None of the three of them had ever heard of anyone with that name, let alone any god who was called that.

"This is very likely just a code name, or even an alias."

Riveria Ljos Alf said this.

Could it be that "her" name?

Gareth even raised this opinion.

"I don't think so." Leo didn't let the leaders of the clans speculate, and gave the answer directly, "Those strange people all refer to their creator as 'she,' there's no reason for that Revis to suddenly say her name."

Therefore, this Enyo is not "she".

"The word 'Enyo' in the language of the gods means 'destroyer of cities.'"

"Therefore, this must be a code name or pseudonym of some deity."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look at Leo.

"Destroyer of the city----?" Grace said with some emotion, "It's a shame you kid still knows about such a thing."

"I only found out by chance," Leo replied simply. "After all, I've been spending a lot of time holed up in the library lately."

"Is there any book that records this?" Riveria Ljos Alf said thoughtfully. "I'll go take a look later; perhaps I can find some clues."

Leo immediately touched his nose, avoiding Riveria Ljos Alf's gaze.

Hmm... I hope you really can find it.

"That's a very straightforward name, practically telling us outright that their goal is exactly what we suspect," Finn said calmly. "Since this Enyo isn't 'she,' but rather an alias of some god, then that god must be an evil god from the Evilus, right?"

"Perhaps, but it feels a bit strange." Leo offered another clue, saying, "The Masked Man who saved Revis was clearly a weirdo as well, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to punch Ais had activated [Ariel], away with a single punch."

"But according to Revis, this Masked Man was seemingly instructed by Enyo, not by 'her,' otherwise Revis wouldn't have said that Enyo sent the Masked Man."

"If all the monsters were created by 'her,' why isn't this Masked Man being directed by 'her,' but rather by this Enyo?"

"I have a feeling that this Enyo is very likely a key figure, and may even be a third party besides the freak forces and the Evilus."

After Leo said that, Finn and the others also fell into deep thought.

"It's not impossible," Finn calmly analyzed. "Based on the information you provided earlier, those strange individuals are also different from one another."

"Revis clearly lacks information about the ground; she doesn't even recognize who you two are."

"The white-haired man seems to know everything about us, so it's very likely he has connections to the surface world."

The fact that their understanding of the earth differs so greatly proves that the strange people may not necessarily have the same origins or responsibilities.

This Masked Man might be a follower of some god, transformed into a monster by "her," so compared to "her," the Masked Man would definitely obey the Chief God's commands first.

By extension, the white-haired man is very likely from Evilus, which is why he has some understanding of the situation on the ground and is acting with the remnants of those Evilus.

As for Revis, she is probably the most quintessential oddball, someone who has spent years in the Dungeon with "her" and has never even come to the surface.

"It seems that this underground alliance is more complex than we imagined."

Finn tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table, speaking meaningfully.

"If Enyo is indeed Three Factions, then who exactly is it?"

Riveria Ljos Alf spoke in a deep voice.

"An evil god outside the Evilus?"

Gareth was a little confused.

Only Leo spoke calmly.

"That's the nature of gods: to be entertained to the death. Perhaps Enyo is a god who, after learning of 'her' existence, decided on a whim to participate in this great undertaking of destroying the city in order to please us. Who knows?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a slight chill in their hearts and a coldness in their bodies.

"Besides----"

Leo glanced at Ais, a hint of apology in his eyes, before continuing.

"Although her identity is still unknown, it is certain that she has some close relationship with the fairy."

Ais suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at Leo.

"Fairy Spirit?"

Finn and his two companions were also taken aback.

Fairy spirits, also known as nymphs, spirits, elements, and demon spirits, are a special kind of life form that exists in the Lower World but is distinctly different from the races of the Lower World.

They are extremely rare and mysterious, but their potential abilities far surpass those of other races. Along with the elves, they are known as the two major magical races in the Lower World. Not only can they easily wield magic more powerful than that of the elves, but they are also adept at invoking miracles, and are therefore considered the race closest to the gods.

They are the most beloved children of the gods, even called incarnations of the gods. Before the gods descended, they were receivers of divine will. They were sent by a group of gods to save the Lower World from the persecution of monsters who had not yet been driven back to the Dungeon. They were responsible for guiding the human race and helping the Lower World fight against the existence of monsters.

In many ancient tales and heroic stories, fairies have appeared, guiding ancient heroes with magic and miraculous powers similar to those of gods. They teach magic, bestow powerful weapons, and sometimes even lend a helping hand to help heroes fulfill their missions and save many lives.

It can be said that the power of the fairy spirits is inextricably linked to the great deeds of those ancient heroes who were able to fight against monsters without receiving Blessing of the Gods. Before the gods came to the earth, they were essentially the proxy of Blessing of the Gods. The heroes acted by listening to the voice of the fairy spirits and receiving their protection.

The historical facts passed down to this day are actually the history of heroes who, guided by gods and spirits, fought against monsters.

It is evident how special and sacred the existence of immortals is.

Now, Leo claims that the other party is connected to the mastermind behind creating monsters with the intention of destroying the city.

But that's the truth.

There is no other reason.

"She was always yearning for Ais, or rather, yearning for Ais's mother— Aria."
