I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything-Chapter 382: Exodus Sanctuary

My organ has been shut? (T/N: Not sure if this 器官 meant body organ or instrument.)

The buzzing in my ears from earlier……

And then———- the particles of light that were floating in the air just now……

Could it be…… I thrust my palm forward.

My brows furrowed to a frown.

[I can't use it…… Divine-level Magic.]

I can't even use the simplest Fireball. (T/N: Divine Ball of Flames / Fireball)

Part of my Divinity has been sealed?

Something had just happened.

Something has been set in motion.

However, a power that affects Deities……

Thereupon, the image of the crow I crushed earlier flashed in my mind.

Frustration welling up within me, I bit my nail.

[Anarveil.]

She was an excellent one, but she just couldn't let go of her emotions.

If there hadn't been a difference in opinions between us———- If only she hadn't had those trivial emotions……

Even though she was made into a candidate to become a Demi-God as my servant……

Because of her longevity, she wanted to fully understand humans' trashiness.

I was hoping she'd have a change of heart.

But, perhaps———- I should have just killed her.

[I see.]

So Anarveil's cooperating with them huh.

Behind all the things that had happened was the assistance of the Witch of Taboos.

[……How did she even manage to keep her existence hidden until now?]

In that case, does that mean that witch had also entered the labyrinth?

……Even so, a power that affects Deities huh……

Did they use an Ancient Magic Tool that I have no knowledge of?

[…………………..]

Something's not right.

The movements of those insects……

They seem to have less hesitation than I imagined.

Yes.

Movements they wouldn't have unless they've borrowed the wisdom of the Deities————

(Could it be…… there are other Deities who came here other than Loqierra and Vanargadia?)

Someone like Thesis?

Or perhaps———– the Chief God Origin themself?

Was it a lie that the Heavens are in chaos right now……?

……No.

Just sending out the first two should have already been a difficult decision for them.

Moreover…… If someone else had come, why hadn't they accompanied Loqierra and Vanargadia?

There's no point in dispersing.

In that case———– did they send someone else as backup?

This quickly?

Was there just another Deity who was supposed to be with them and just arrived late?

Perhaps, is that thing that's sealing Divine-level Magic also arranged by that Deity?

Do I have to take the presence of other Deities into consideration?

[…………………..]

No.

If it's just Deities, they wouldn't be a problem.

Rather, having the Deities as the enemy would be more convenient.

Her side's abilities are highly specialized against Deities.

Yes, conversely now, if they're Deities, they couldn't even be considered her enemies.

Them aside, I carefully examined my body and my senses.

My organ has been shut.

However, what I've only confirmed as unusable was Divine-level Magic.

That being the case, I transformed a nail into a blade and slashed the skin on my arm with it.

Thereupon, the skin regenerated immediately, and the wound disappeared.

There seems to be no particular problem with my body's Modification and Regeneration abilities.

However, I could sense that my basic abilities have somewhat diminished.

If I had to describe it……

If 100 is being in perfect condition, it feels like they have diminished to about 90.

———–It isn't a problem.

Yes.

That isn't going to be a problem at all.

I finished checking my other abilities as well.

As I thought, it didn't seem like there would be any particular problems.

Divine-level Magic unusable.

A slight diminishment of the basic abilities.

I touched the wall.

……It doesn't seem like whatever it was had any effect on the Genesis Labyrinth either.

Next, I knelt down and touched the floor.

Closing my eyes, I also checked the carved seals placed on the Royal Capital.

Its activation status…… its effectivity also doesn't have any problems.

I stand up.

"As expected, they wouldn't be able to interfere with already manifested Conceptual Magic and carved seals."

After that, I took out a Sacred Treasure from my pocket and checked it.

How many times have I checked this already?

The Sacred Eye———- is still active.

Coldly gazing at the Sacred Treasure, I put it away.

[……………………]

And then———— I gleefully giggled.

[Oh pathetic scum.]

Here in the Genesis Labyrinth———– No.

This time, what will take place here isn't merely a playful training.

The pathetic scum will be reaped off their lives and be eradicated by the Gods.

This is———- the Exodus Sanctuary.

[Fufu, fufufufu…… Good grief…… They truly are like moths to the flame ?]

No more need for pleasantries.

Because they displease me, they shall mourn.

Because they displease me, they shall rage.

Because they displease me, they shall be hurt.

Because they displease me, they shall be tormented.

Because it's fun, I want to make them suffer.

Because it's fun, I want to destroy them.

Because it's fun, I want to mock them.

Because it's fun, I want to make them miserable.

Because they displease me……

Because it's fun……

It shall be slaughtered———– The happiness of humans.

I picked up a black-purple gem between my thumb and middle finger and placed it in my mouth.

[I stand by my beliefs.]

That's why———— a slaughter.

[A slaughter it shall be.]

(T/N: Just an explanation for the first part of the chapter. This chapter still hasn't ended yet.

神創迷宮, read as Shinso Meikyuu, first character meaning "God", second character meaning "creation" or "beginning", third and four character meaning "labyrinth". God + Beginning, in kat's mind, equates Genesis, so Genesis Labyrinth it is.

神葬命宮, also read as Shinsou Meikyuu, first character still means God, second character now means to bury. the first and second characters together mean something along the lines of "Divine Funeral". The third character means "life", while the fourth means "palace, shrine, or temple".

In kat's mind, since the former was Genesis Labyrinth, the latter should also be a two-word something. In that case, decided that the Life + Shrine would be Sanctuary, I thought of what "Divine Funeral" as a single word could be. Then, after browsing google around, I saw the phrase "The End of Genesis, the Beginning of Exodus". Exodus means departure, though it's more of the "emigration" departure, but departure could also mean "death", right? Exodus it is then. Don't really want to put Revelation Sanctuary there after all.)

<Sogou Ayaka POV>

Having activated the Anti-Vysis Magic Tool, I now focused my gaze down the corridor.

(It's quiet…… Too quiet…… I couldn't hear any sound around……)

Earlier, I had taken the risk of shouting loudly to see if anyone would respond.

It might attract enemies, but if I were to encounter any, I could just defeat them.

At this moment, reuniting with allies took priority over any potential risk.

(The best-case scenario would be to meet up with Munin-san first……)

However, even if they were teleported near the same time, there was no guarantee that they would be teleported to the same location.

This was a significant drawback.

Furthermore, there's this deafening silence……

Basically, the only way to reunite with others was to run around herself.

Following Touka's instructions, I destroyed the magic tool after activation.

Incidentally, activating it didn't consume me any MP, as the magic tool had already been imbued with Eve's magic energy.

I immediately started running.

I didn't use my Unique Silver Horse yet.

MP was limited in this labyrinth raid.

We also don't have the time for rest, meaning no means to recover MP.

MP conservation is crucial here.

The familiar buildings I once used to pass by came into view.

This was undoubtedly within the Royal Capital Enoh.

The white substances around the labyrinth divide the houses into two or cover about 80% of them.

For the time being…… I don't sense the presence of anyone around.

The ground was paved with stone, with parts looking like snow-covered white floors.

When I stepped on it, the white parts felt like hard wax, or perhaps slightly resilient bone.

The corridors varied in width and height, with some having high ceilings and others having some atrium-like spaces.

Looking around, I also saw some areas shaped like stairs.

It has this image of large rooms occasionally spaced between corridors.

These rooms might have been spaces for battles during that "training" I've heard about.

Holding my favorite spear, I take a glance up at the ceiling while running.

Although sunlight shouldn't reach inside this place, the interior was bright.

(As if this place was just sealed with an opaque membrane from the outside……)

Oxygen properly exists here, and strangely enough, there seemed to be spaces where wind blew.

It's as if this cityscape was encroached upon by this mysterious white substance———- or had crudely "synthesized" with it.

It didn't seem as if the synthesis had failed and was just left at that though.

After scouting the nearby area, I turned my gaze to a specific direction.

(The castle…… should be over there.)

After being summoned, I spent a long time in this Royal Capital.

Long enough for me to remember the layout of some buildings and streets.

I'd likely even find my way around without needing a map.

Everyone had received instruction from Touka to head for the castle.

(If I aim towards the castle, I should naturally meet up with someone……)

At that moment———

(A Sacrament……!)

A medium-sized Sacrament wielding a lance appeared from a side corridor.

Of course, that's something I swiftly dealt with.

(I could hear footsteps from a certain distance…… but looking at it the other way, it means I won't hear footsteps until they're that close……)

In this situation……

Even if there are sounds of combat or screams from a distant area, there's no way I could rush there to help.

Somehow———– That makes me feel helpless.

The feeling of solitude is stronger than I expected.

However, now isn't the time to curl up in loneliness.

(Just as Mimori-kun had predicted, other than the Divine Servants, there are also Sacraments here……)

I start running again.

(I need to find someone among those incapable of combat and regroup with them quickly ————)

[…………, ———————Huh?]

[Eh?]

I've encountered her.

The other side, seemingly never expected to encounter me, was also wide-eyed, looking my way.

The encounter took place in a slightly wider space just around the corner of a corridor.

(Why…… is she here———-)

Trying to push back her agitation, I gulped.

However, the confusion within my mind temporarily halted my thoughts.

Towards the back of the open space———- at an area close to a wall. 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

Perhaps, she was trying to enter that corridor nearby.

Yes, standing in front of me, looking as if she had quickly turned around my way———-

[Vy…… sis……?]

———was Vysis.

[Of all the ones I'd meet————- The one I'd meet here is you huh.]
