Chapter 184: The Flower of Good Blooms, the Disaster Stops!
Clang!
It was effortless suppression. Under Ethan's "Noble Phantasm Gatling," so many monsters could not hold on at all. A moment later, they had all turned into magic stones, lying quietly on the ground.
The disturbance in the arena ended just like that. However, this was only the beginning.
"Things are getting troublesome."
The group had moved to the highest point for safety. Looking at everything around them, their expressions grew heavy.
Ganesha was especially grim. Today was the Monster Feria, and a huge number of people had gathered in Orario. Adventurers, ordinary people, outside travelers, and merchants had all gathered here.
So many people were gathered in one place, yet a monster attack had happened right then. This was not ordinary danger.
Under these circumstances, accidents were very easy to cause. If a powerful monster appeared, no one knew how many people would die.
After all, Orario was now packed with people.
With so many monsters appearing in this situation, no one would believe it if this was not a carefully planned conspiracy.
For a thousand years, the Dungeon's monsters had been suppressed inside the Dungeon and had never taken even one step outside. So why had they broken through that thousand-year defense today?
"Ethan!"
A figure in a black robe appeared from the shadows.
"Hm?"
Seeing the newcomer, Ethan's expression did not change. His gaze remained calm as he looked at the other party.
"Evilus and the Ishtar Familia worked together. They brought a 'monster' up from the deep floors of the Dungeon."
"They brought a monster up from the depths?"
"That's right."
"Interesting. This really is interesting."
Ethan immediately smiled. So this riot of so many "new-type monsters" was the work of Evilus and the Ishtar Familia together. He truly had not expected the plot to develop like this.
"So you came to me because you think I can solve all of this?"
"In all of Orario, you are one of the few hopes. You can choose to accept or refuse."
"Heh."
Ethan laughed and glanced at this former "sage," now the "fool."
Being looked at by Ethan like this, Fels felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, no one could grasp Ethan's rhythm now, and no one knew what he would do in the next second.
Although he was the "hero" chosen by Ouranos, Fels could tell that he was completely different from the heroes of the past. In his heart, he definitely had his own thoughts.
"I accept. Although I don't care much about whether Orario is safe or not, the people I care about live in this city, so this city cannot fall."
"I understand."
Ethan's answer made Fels let out a breath of relief. As long as he agreed, that was enough.
At this moment, large numbers of monsters began surging through the streets outside. The man-eating flowers were especially troublesome. They emerged from one place, but their vines could keep spreading.
As for the caterpillars, they were even more annoying. Their strength was not very high, and any adventurer with decent ability could deal with them.
The problem was their highly corrosive blood. Once they were killed, it was very easy to get splashed.
Even first-class weapons would be corroded directly. If the blood touched skin, it would instantly eat it away, leaving the area blood-red with the flesh exposed.
And today was the Monster Feria, a celebration where huge crowds were packed together. Among them, there were also many ordinary people.
"Looks like I still have to use that move."
Ethan leaped up, and the magical energy in his body began to boil.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Flower of Good."
At this moment, the essence of [All the World's Evil] began to reverse, turning into [All the World's Good]. Ethan also transformed from "evil" into "good."
A pure-white Mandarava slowly bloomed. Its huge phantom, nearly thirty to forty meters tall, appeared behind Ethan.
The holy scene shook everyone who saw it.
Especially in Orario, Ethan was already famous. "Beloved Pet of the Goddess of Beauty," "the one kept by the goddess," "the creator of the fastest level-up record," and many more titles had already spread far and wide.
All of those added together made Ethan's name anything but small.
As the Flower of Good bloomed, more than half of Orario was covered by it. Ethan seemed like a new sun, hanging high in the sky.
Large patches of "Flowers of Good" began falling. The moment they touched the ground, they burst open and bloomed.
Within their range, every wounded person felt a "healing" power. Their injuries became just a little better.
Although the healing effect was not very strong, and could even be called weak, such large-scale healing still shocked everyone.
"Orion!"
Looking at Ethan's current figure, Artemis's face was full of smiles. This was the "second time" she had seen it.
However, the one who witnessed it last time had been her thought-form. Although that could also be counted as her, it was not her true body.
Now, she had finally witnessed it with her own eyes.
Not only Artemis, but Freya beside her was also both delighted and surprised.
As one of the few beings who knew Ethan carried [All the World's Evil], seeing him turn that "evil" into "good" was beyond mere shock.
Similar scenes played out all across Orario. People had different attitudes and thoughts, but their shock toward Ethan's move was exactly the same.
...
"My, my. The gears of fate have already begun turning. Ouranos, are you really this impatient?"
On a high platform, Hermes pressed down the brim of his hat. No one knew what he was thinking.
Not far away, a lazy-looking fellow sat there, his gaze toward Hermes filled with teasing amusement.
However, even he was surprised by what was happening now. He had never expected this either.
Very soon, someone discovered the second effect of the Flower of Good.
Aside from its "healing effect," the monsters had all become like tamed cats and dogs. One by one, they stopped attacking humans and obediently stayed where they were.
This was the second effect of the Flower of Good.
It could reduce the malice of enemy units.
"Gate of Babylon, maximum output!"
Swish!
A dazzling golden light instantly burst across the sky, and everyone looked up in shock.
