Chapter 80: The Dungeon Won’t Be Gone Again, Right?

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Dungeon Won’t Be Gone Again, Right?

Before this, the only God Yu Zhun had ever encountered was Yola in the [Under the Dragon Burial City] Dungeon. Perhaps because she had been so pure and kind-hearted, he had subconsciously assumed that all beings known as Gods were the same. However, what he was witnessing right now proved otherwise.

When the scene shifted again, Adria had already collapsed on the ground. One side of her delicate face was heavily swollen, and her gorgeous dress had been torn to shreds. Even so, she desperately covered her body and held her head high, her eyes filled with stubborn defiance.

"No one can reject me! No one!"

The God’s androgynous, incredibly cold voice echoed throughout the hall.

It was only at this moment that Yu Zhun realized his perspective had shifted to that of the God of Bright Mirror.

"I will give you one last chance."

The God’s tone grew sharp. Adria didn’t speak, but her resolute gaze said it all.

The God’s aura immediately became oppressive. With a casual wave of their hand, Adria’s body was uncontrollably thrown into a jewel-encrusted mirror nearby.

Yu Zhun’s mind trembled slightly.

He wondered, "Is this... the Main Mirror?"

The scene shifted again. Yu Zhun had now become another of the God’s servants, forcefully pinning Par down and making him kneel before the God.

The Main Mirror stood beside the God. Inside it, Adria was desperately pounding on the glass. She looked at the God with deep pleading in her eyes, screaming continuously, though no sound escaped. Finally, her trembling lips repeatedly formed the same words.

"Please don’t..."

"Adria..." Par stared blankly at the girl trapped in the mirror. The anger in his eyes gradually faded. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile. "Please do not grieve for me."

The God of Bright Mirror brought their raised hand down. Instantly, the handsome young man in the hall was slashed to pieces by countless beams of mirror light right before his beloved’s eyes.

Blood flowed across the spotless stone floor of the hall, pooling at the feet of the servant Yu Zhun was possessing.

Adria’s pupils violently contracted. Her hands, previously pressed against the glass, fell limply to her sides. She froze like a stone statue, completely devoid of movement, with only endless tears streaming down her face.

Boundless hatred filled the space inside the Main Mirror. Her long brown hair, which usually reflected a beautiful luster in the sunlight, rapidly turned a desolate, pure white. Her sapphire-like eyes were completely consumed by madness.

A terrifying power rapidly surged within her fragile body.

By the time the God of Bright Mirror realized something was wrong, Adria was already stepping out of the Main Mirror.

A biting, extreme cold flooded the entire hall. Amidst countless blooming ice crystals, Adria charged at the God of Bright Mirror!

When the scene shifted once more, Adria was the only living being left in the entire hall.

She quietly cradled Par’s frozen head, stroking her lover’s cheek through the bone-chilling solid ice, before turning to look in Yu Zhun’s direction.

Yu Zhun froze for a moment, then suddenly realized he had returned to his own body, regaining his ability to move and speak.

He wondered, "Is this the extra reward for the final Dungeon storyline?"

"I killed the God of Bright Mirror and avenged Par." Adria’s voice was distant and fragile. "Do you think I did the right thing?"

Yu Zhun’s gaze grew a bit complicated. Looking at Adria sitting in the hall, he remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.

"Stop deceiving yourself.

"You didn’t kill the God of Bright Mirror, because from beginning to end, you have always been the God of Bright Mirror."

The world of ice and snow in her heart... ℴ

The story Par told...

The God whose face could never be clearly seen...

With the revelation of Adria’s divine name, everything in the mirror shattered in Yu Zhun’s mind and reconstructed itself into an entirely new story.

Yu Zhun looked at Adria. "Someone once told me, ’How can the mighty power of a God be understood and reached by mortals?’ If you were merely a maidservant, how could you have possibly killed a God?

"Your father calling Par a ’liar full of deceit’—that was an obscure clue you left behind.

"He was a liar, and so are you.

"The [Cold Ice Silence Realm] is the world of ice and snow in your heart. It is also the self-deception you created after killing the beloved man who deceived you.

"Am I right?"

Adria smiled. "Almost entirely correct.

"But you were wrong about one thing.

"There really are two Gods of Bright Mirror."

As her voice fell, another Adria slowly stepped out from behind her. It was her original appearance before her corruption. The brown-haired Adria shimmered with a divine light, looking exactly like the God from the previous scenes.

There was not a trace of surprise on Yu Zhun’s face. "I know. The story I just experienced was false, but it was also true.

"From the moment Par died, the God of Bright Mirror was no longer one, but two.

"Every mirror has two sides.

"Par’s death bred the dark side within your heart, and that is the Cold Ice Mirror Demon."

Yu Zhun paused, looking at the two Adrias who seemed like twin sisters. "However, I am very curious. I always thought that Gods and Demons were diametrically opposed.

"So they are actually the exact same concept?"

Adria looked at Yu Zhun with a complicated expression.

Without saying a word, she waved her hand.

A Main Mirror appeared behind Yu Zhun and dragged him away.

"The Guild Master has been in there for almost ten minutes." Outside the Main Mirror, Salas stared at it with a worried face. "I don’t know how much longer it will be before he can come out."

"Let’s wait a little longer." Ji Xiaoyu clenched her fists, a bit of nervousness in her eyes. But Yu Zhun’s consistent performance made her believe that their extraordinary Guild Master would definitely not be trapped here!

HUMMM—

Under their watchful eyes, the Main Mirror let out a vibrating hum. Its surface rippled like water, and a figure flew out from within, steadily regaining his footing.

Both of them immediately revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"Guild Master, were you just experiencing the Dungeon’s storyline?" Ji Xiaoyu asked curiously. "How did it go?"

Yu Zhun didn’t hide anything and gave them a rough summary of his experience.

After listening, Ji Xiaoyu and Salas looked at each other in dismay.

"Um... Guild Master," Ji Xiaoyu shrank her neck, unable to resist giving Yu Zhun a weird look. "According to what you said, you met another God this time, right?"

"That should be the case," Yu Zhun nodded.

"Then..." Ji Xiaoyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Don’t tell me we completely destroyed this Dungeon too?"

Yu Zhun was rendered speechless.

He wondered, "Probably... not, right?"
