This wasn't Eiji's first time bringing a dead person back to life, he had done it many times. But modifying someone's race and revolutionizing them?
He had also done it using the Evolution Cube he got from the system in the past.
Remember the evolved races of Gabriel, Grayfia, and some of his women?
However, the way he used them now was different. Inside Gantz, Eiji added the Evolution Cube to that advanced technology. With the Mechanical Emperor's innate ability, he had the understanding to do so.
If he wasn't too lazy to become a Mechanic like Han Xiao or the Mechanic Emperor, he himself was capable of making technology like the Gantz, or something better than that.
Unfortunately, he preferred to be a warrior and a mage at the same time.
[Detects modifications made...]
[The "Evolution" feature has been added! I can now make the participants' races evolve. Do you want to make Filvis evolve into a High Elf? (>....<)]
"As expected of me." Eiji praised himself which made Miss System roll her eyes.
Soon, in a certain area in Knossos. Filvis' body was enveloped in a dazzling white light. She felt a tremendous change in her body, her heart that had been replaced with the Magic Stone was destroyed, and a new heart began to grow inside her. The organs in his monster had also changed into new organs.
"This feeling...!"
Filvis noticed the changes to her body, she didn't even feel any pain. Instead, the familiar feeling of when she was an elf came back to her.
She was so excited that she wanted to cry!
The connection she had with Ein was also severed, she was now someone separate from her original self.
However, not only that—the changes to her body continued! She felt her own power and magic increase many times over.
She had not returned to being an Elf, but a High Elf whose bloodline was no less than that of a royal noble like Riveria! The light that enveloped Filvis' body disappeared, her long black hair had turned silver, her pupils were purple and her skin looked extremely soft.
Her own appearance became even more beautiful which made Eiji whistle. Of course, Filvis had not realized that unless she looked in the mirror, but the sensation she felt was enough to make her kneel down, and put her hands together as if she was praying.
"Thank you! Thank you Eiji-sama!" With teary eyes, she stared at the ceiling as if she was staring at Eiji. She was extremely grateful, and just like when Dionysus revived her as a monster, the good feelings she had for Eiji quickly developed to the point of love, and a loyalty that was practically blind.
For Eiji's sake, she would do anything.
If he told her to kill all members of Evilus, Creature, and Dionysus. She did not hesitate to do it for him.
Especially with her power that had now reached Level 7. Many people in Orario must have been surprised that Filvis' level was comparable to Ottar.
However, only a few of them knew of her power.
Before this, she was too humble and was known as a Level 3 because of the missions Dionysus had given her. And when she was still a Creature, who had not used her cloning magic, her original self was also Level 7.
However, her current power was clearly stronger than when she was a Level 7 Creature.
[As agreed, you are now my assistant, Filvis.]
Looking at the text displayed on her watch, Filvis wiped away her tears and made an expression similar to that of a fanatic.
"Yes! Eiji-sama, what are your orders? Whatever you want, I will do it for you."
This woman is quite wise, Eiji thought.
He had already thought of an idea since deciding to help Filvis, and asked to confirm something first.
[Before that, tell me the details of Dionysus' plan first and what he has done for it.]
"As you wish, Eiji-sama. Dionysus has another identity as Enyo. The movements being made by the Evilus and Creature members are his doing. For six years, he began to devise a sophisticated scheme to destroy Orario, and trigger the apocalypse in order to create mass madness and absolute suffering that he considered the ultimate 'Orgia' show..."
Filvis no longer addressed Dionysus with respect, there was even disgust in her eyes when she said his name.
She told Eiji the details of Dionysus' plan. For example, in order to realize his evil plan, he tried to develop the Jewel Fetus, the fetus of the monster created by the Corrupted Spirit, which would later turn into a Demi-Spirit.
Dionysus used the Demi-Spirit as a mass destruction magic reactor to trigger an apocalypse in Orario.
The most crucial function of the Demi-Spirits was as giant magic batteries. Dionysus placed six Demi-Spirits at strategic points (ritual pillars) within Knossos, and six fetuses of other Demi-Spirits for backup in the dungeon. The combined energy of these six spirits was channeled directly to power the ancient dragon Nidhogg, who was possessed by the Corrupted Spirit. Without the massive supply of magic from the Demi-Spirits, Nidhogg would not have enough explosive power to destroy the entire geological structure of Orario and the Dungeon.
As floor after floor covering the Dungeon was destroyed, the millions of monsters within would also rise to the surface, triggering mass panic.
Eiji already knew much of that information from Rasiel, he just wanted to confirm how much it had changed from the original work.
He didn't expect the situation to be worse than he thought.
[I must admit... Dionysus, is truly a villain behind the scenes. In order to destroy Orario and start the apocalypse in the lower world, he has been patient for many years and is now close to completing his plan.]
[He wants to use the six Demi-Spirits to release a spell that can destroy Orario, while the ancient Corrupted Spirit/Naga Niddhogg, absorbs the power of the other six Tainted Spirits to become a super bomb and blow up the dungeon.]
[Both things must happen simultaneously.]
[Demi-Spirits are disposable items. After they finish creating a giant magic circle to open the "Gate of Heaven" (a huge pillar of destruction whose power approaches Arcanum), they will be sacrificed, and their power must be absorbed before they die.]
[The evil dragon could not store that much power for long; once the absorption was complete, it would create a colossal explosion.]
[At that time, everyone including the high gods and goddesses of Orario will die. Except for me, and my women of course.]
Eiji's inner voice this time sounded scary to the heroines living in Orario.
Put aside how you and your women are exceptions, Eiji.
They were all dumbfounded.
Isn't this matter very serious?
They must not let Dionysus' plan succeed!
Everyone in Orario will die!
Hestia, Hephaestus, Demeter, Shakti, Mikoto and the other Danmachi women who could hear Eiji's inner voice, could not help but feel panicked.
Asfi who had just destroyed one Jewel Fetus was stunned. From what Eiji said, every Jewel Fetus hidden in the Dungeon was actually just a backup battery!
Destroying them would not stop Dionysus' evil plan. Six Demi-Spirits had even been born, and were hidden within Knossos. Their real target was in that place.
"Damn, we've been tricked by Dionysus. We must go to Knossos immediately!" Asfi cursed Dionysus, and hurriedly searched for the entrance to Knossos in a panic.
However, she did not know where it was.
Eiji had only told her that it was under Deadalus Street. She and her group were on the 24th floor of the dungeon.
Was there no other way to get there?
Even if she reached Knossos, she was not sure if she was strong enough to defeat one or even six Demi-Spirits.
[As far as I know, a Demi-Spirit's power is equivalent to Level 7 and a Corrupted Spirit/Niddhogg is Level 8.]
"...." Asfi's face paled.
Those monsters were too strong!
In front of them-Level 4s like her, the few Level 3s and Level 2s in her group would only be cannon fodder.
To defeat those monsters, the strongest adventurers from the two Great Families like Loki Familia and Freya Familia were needed.
Should she rush to the surface to report this matter to the Guild?
[However, there is no need to be so panicked. Me, my familia members, and the adventurers from several other families should be enough to deal with this problem.]
Eiji sounded confident.
The women felt a little relieved and many of them believed what he said including Asfi.
Asfi remembered that members of the Seiya Familia also participated in the Gantz game. Given the level of each of them... She felt that her earlier panic was a bit excessive.
At the same time.
On the 59th floor.
Many members of the Loki Familia were also actually in the dungeon. Ais, Lefiya, and Riveria who had recently become dual members of the Seiya Familia were also there.
They continued their dungeon expedition while testing Eiji's Falna System. The results were so amazing that Fin, Gareth, Bete, and the other members envied the three women.
Unlike them, those women could update their status automatically and gain Excelia/Exp faster.
In other words, they could become stronger in the dungeon in real-time.
Ais was happy because she could see her own power increase more clearly than before. But just like Riveria, and Lefiya. What Eiji said in his inner voice not long ago made them anxious.
"Waaah! Why can only you three become dual members of the Seiya Familia? I want to too! The Falna System is cooler than normal Falna!"
"I want to ask the same thing... Why didn't the three of you invite fellow women like us when you visited the Seiya Familia house before?"
Tiona whined, she looked at the three women in front of her enviously.
Tione folded her hands under her large breasts, and had a dissatisfied expression on her face.
Fin, Gareth, and the other male members who were resting were silent. What about us? Why are we excluded? Just because we are men?
"Tiona, Tione, not now. There's a problem going on!" Riveria said with a serious expression.
The two amazonesses were silent, although they wanted to complain, they didn't dare to do so because right now, Riveria didn't seem to be able to take a joke.
Finn was confused, "Problem? What problem, Riveria?"
"The problem is..." Riveria didn't know if she could tell the things she heard from Eiji's inner voice to Finn and the others. Before, she had never been able to do so. However, she suddenly chose an idea on how she could say it, "Falna's system can also tell us the latest news from Eiji-sama and the rest of his familia. From Eiji-sama, I've gotten information that we and everyone in Orario are in danger! A god named Dionysus has an evil plan, he wants to use six Demi-Spirits and a Corrupted Spirit to—"
After hearing Riveria's explanation which basically mentioned the things Eiji had said in his heart, without mentioning the actual source of the information, all the Loki Familia members who were there were stunned.
Except Ais and Lefiya, of course. They already knew all the things Riveria had said earlier.
"What!? If this is true..." Gareth got up from his seat and glanced at his captain, "Finn, what should we do? We can't just stand by, right?"
"You're right, this problem is the problem of everyone living in Orario. We have to help Seiya Familia and the others, but..." Finn glanced at the green-haired elf in front of him, "Riveria, is there any way to get to Knossos from inside the dungeon?"
"Sorry, I don't know either." Riveria smiled wryly.
Eiji didn't even say specifically where the entrance to Knossos was, he just said it was under Daedalus Street.
"Ano... Why not ask Eiji-sama? Riveria-san, do you remember the function of the familia chat group?"
Hearing what Lefiya said, Riveria widened her eyes.
She had forgotten about it, and felt a little embarrassed that her junior remembered it before her.
But before she was about to do what Riveria said, the environment around them suddenly turned into a vast expanse of ice. They were standing on a hill, with countless monsters densely packed below. The man-eating flower variant Viola, the Ice Storm Bear from the 60th Floor, the Wolf of the Wilderness, the Lightning Freezing Bird—all were engaged in a brutal monster war.
The man-eating flowers ferociously preyed on the monsters, killing those from the 60th Floor and devouring their magic stones. The monsters who didn't want to be slaughtered fought back. They slaughtered each other, and the battle was fierce.
The place was filled with the roars of various monsters.
If that was all, it wouldn't have been enough to shock the Loki Familia members who were veteran adventurers.
What really gave them goosebumps was the twisted, disgusting, green-colored flesh far ahead of them.
To describe its appearance in one sentence, it was an enormous green pillar of flesh!
Directly ahead, on that icy plain, six giant pillars were scattered in different locations, tens of kilometers apart. The pillars were firmly rooted in the ground, connecting the floor and ceiling. Like the Tower of Babel towering over the Surface, but the pillars were made of tainted green flesh, shimmering with a sinister light and exuding an evil aura.
The green flesh covering their entire bodies was constantly writhing, filled with strange poisonous flowers that parasitized them, displaying colors such as, purple, red and black.
In addition, countless thick tentacles, as thick as large trees, protruded from their bodies, writhing horribly.
Most striking was the bottom of the giant pillars, where three female faces appeared. Their faces were distorted, emitting an aura that was dazzling, insane, and evil.
Six pillars, eighteen female faces!
All of them were Demi-Spirits or clones of Corrupted Spirits!
All of the Loki Familia members instantly felt fear, and disgust. Their faces paled, and their vigilance rose to the highest level.
"What's going on!? Finn, Riveria!?" Bete shouted, but kept his voice from being too loud. He didn't want the monsters to realize their existence.
However, the person who answered her was a cold feminine voice. "I'm the one who should be asking. What are you all doing here? Move aside."
Bete's expression became ugly, he was angry. But when he and the others glanced back, they were stunned.
How could they not be?
Behind them, there was a goddess-like woman with long white hair. She was wearing a black dress with a gothic feel, and was holding a magical staff that looked like a large halberd. The aura she emitted was enough to make them shudder, and felt no less dangerous than the crowd of monsters.
They were wary of her but Riveria immediately said, "Morgan-san, you're here too? We don't know why we were suddenly transferred here."
Other than her, only Ais and Lefiya recognized Morgan from her appearance.
However, Finn and the other members of the Loki Familia had only heard about her name. They remembered Morgan was one of the Seiya Familia members, and a famous Level 8!
"I see. My husband has done something unnecessary. He may want you to help me, but I alone am more than enough to kill all the monsters here, including those Demi-Spirits."
Morgan glanced at the six giant female humanoids hanging from the large pillars while blaming her husband, Eiji. But the corners of her lips lifted slightly, she was glad he was worried about her.
Many of the men in the Loki Familia group were mesmerized by Morgan's beauty. However, the name of the monster she mentioned made them realize something.
"Demi-Spirit? Those monsters hanging on the pillar are Demi-Spirits!?"
"Level 7 monsters!?"
"That means we are now inside Knossos!?"
Several members of the Loki Familia exclaimed.
Bete clicked his tongue and looked at Morgan with annoyance, "You want to defeat that monster alone? Arrogant woman, you think you—"
*Bang!!*
Just as he was mocking her, his body was suddenly thrown like a cannonball to the side, and embedded in the floor wall. It was still on a hill, so there was no need to worry about the monsters immediately munching on him. However, Bete vomited a mouthful of blood, and lay on the ground holding his stomach with an expression of pain.
His face was flushed with shame, anger and humiliation.
"Bete!!!"
Several other Loki Familia members immediately ran over to him, and tried to help him up before the monsters realized their existence.
As for the rest? Many of them looked at Morgan in horror. They did not see her movements clearly, but from the tip of her staff that was now raised into the air, she was clearly the one who had hit Bete!
Finn's thumb twitched repeatedly, and his gaze sharpened. As a Level 7, he had also been unable to see Morgan's movements before.
It made him realize that she was very strong! He himself might not be able to defeat her in close combat even though from her appearance, Morgan looked like a mage.
Of course... Finn, Gareth, and the rest of the Loki Family were not stupid enough to blame Morgan's actions. Bete was the one who had provoked the woman first.
"Forgive Bete, Morgan-san. He often lacks courtesy to people he meets for the first time." Riveria hurriedly apologized on Bete's behalf.
She was worried that her master held a grudge.
Seeing how humble Riveria was, many members of the Loki Familia understood that the white-haired woman should not be provoked!
They also certainly did not want to end up like Bete.
Morgan snorted, "It's okay, I don't really care about a dog."
You don't care, but you hit Bete until he almost fainted and had to worry about his kidney condition!
Several members of the Loki Familia complained in their hearts, but dared not say anything.
"Hello, I'm Finn. Captain of the Loki Familia. We don't mean to belittle you, but... Are you sure you want to kill these monsters alone?" Finn asked politely.
Morgan glanced at him indifferently, "I can leave the other monsters to you guys while I deal with the Demi-Spirits."
Since the other party was polite, and the reinforcements Eiji had deliberately sent her, she did not mind cooperating with them for this time.
"Understood, leave the other monsters to us."
