Holding the card radiating magical energy, Chen Hai walked past the heavily injured Fels.
His next destination was clear—
The altar deep beneath the Adventurers' Guild.
That was where the Great God, Uranus, resided.
A thousand years ago, Uranus descended, not only bringing divine blessings to the mortals of the lower world but also establishing a 'secret pact,' sealing the land and continuously suppressing the Dungeon with divine prayers.
This guy was Chen Hai's most direct enemy.
If cooperation was impossible, then there would only be one outcome.
Chen Hai would 'send' Uranus back to the Celestial Realm.
He proceeded along the somewhat cramped passage, then descended the stairs.
Soon, he arrived at the altar deep underground.
Sensing an outsider's arrival, a heavy stone door slowly opened, grinding against the ground.
The flickering firelight passed through the gap in the door, falling on Chen Hai, constantly elongating the shadow behind him.
He stepped forward, entering the center of the opened altar.
About ten meters away, on a high stone throne, sat an old man with white hair and beard.
The old man, looking down at Chen Hai, had a solemn expression, exuding an invisible pressure.
"One minute, Uranus."
Chen Hai went straight to the point, not intending to waste words with this Head God who suppressed the Dungeon.
"Lift the suppression now."
"It's impossible for the Dungeon to have a 'Dungeon Lord'."
Uranus did not agree to the demand and began speaking to himself.
For a thousand years, Uranus had been constantly monitoring the Dungeon's situation.
No accidents had occurred during that millennium.
"Perhaps 'the Dungeon is a conscious, living entity,' but it couldn't possibly become like you. Who exactly are you?"
"Dungeon Lord, didn't your subordinates investigate properly?"
"This intelligence cannot be true."
"Fifty seconds."
Chen Hai, counting down, surveyed the surroundings.
"Giving up your work wouldn't be bad for you, would it? A Great God from the Celestial Realm, for the sake of humanity, willingly stays in this boring underground space to suppress the Dungeon's monsters. Aside from being insane, I can't think of any other possibility. Or is this the 'fun' you seek?"
There were many Gods in Orario.
Due to the unchanging billions of years of life in the Celestial Realm, the Gods grew excessively bored. Therefore, starting a thousand years ago, the Gods began to descend to the lower world, forming Familia and bestowing divine blessings upon the lower-world inhabitants.
They began to interfere with the lower world with a playful attitude, experiencing everything—food, hobbies, friendships, art, even illness—enjoying every moment and never tiring of it.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Hai thought Uranus was not normal.
Could such 'human brilliance' as self-sacrifice be seen in Uranus?
"I have suppressed the Dungeon for a millennium with 'Divine Prayer,' and I will never allow outsiders to disrupt the current balance."
"Is that so? You intend to stop me?"
Thirty-five seconds remained.
Chen Hai was well aware that once a God died or used divine power, they would return to the Celestial Realm.
Under this rule, Uranus was no exception.
"You either return to the Dungeon or cease all actions and live under the supervision of the Adventurers' Guild."
"Let's fight."
After hearing the answer, Chen Hai did not waste any more words.
He had only arrived in this world three or four days ago.
Was he nervous about challenging a God for the first time?
Certainly, there was some nervousness.
However, Chen Hai did not intend to sacrifice his future.
This was a problem that had to be resolved.
If he couldn't manage this Orario well and his level couldn't be efficiently raised, once he connected to high-difficulty planes in the future, he would only be completely devoured.
"Actually, if you were obedient, it would also benefit Orario, because the Dungeon I manage is not just 'entered and exited by people from this world'; it also connects to other planes."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know about other worlds?"
"I don't like people who talk nonsense."
Indeed.
Chen Hai did not continue the conversation.
He checked his current level.
It had risen again, reaching LV.124.
"Let me try out a high-power output."
The magic learned from the Death Dragon began to be summoned by Chen Hai.
Uranus was a 'Great God' of the Celestial Realm, possessing strong power.
However, Uranus, having descended to the human world, did not possess the authority of the Celestial Realm.
Just as Chen Hai was thinking this, he sensed a terrifying aura coming from directly in front of him.
Clearly, Uranus intended to end the battle with Chen Hai here before using divine power and being sent back.
"Are you sure you want to fight? Regardless of winning or losing, once you, who suppress the Dungeon, disappear from here and return to the Celestial Realm, the stability maintained for a millennium will vanish into thin air."
"..."
Uranus fell silent, or rather... hesitated.
The Gods of the danmachi plane were not aloof beings; when they descended to the lower world, human emotions became intense.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Hai charged towards the God directly in front of him.
Midway, burning wings extended from his back!
The Death Dragon's magic—Blazing Wings—dissolved space itself, consuming hundreds of thousands of magic power!
Uranus couldn't believe it, watching the ground, walls, and stone pillars around the stone throne begin to crumble.
"You…!"
"Farewell, Uranus."
The next moment, the destructive storm released by the Blazing Wings pierced through the Guild's underground, and the flames, soaring into the sky, illuminated the night, as if igniting the entire firmament!
Orario instantly became as bright as day, and Adventurers, merchants, and laborers in the streets all looked up, gazing at the sky.
The Gods of danmachi, scattered everywhere, simultaneously felt the greatest 'change' in a millennium.
The Great God—Uranus—had disappeared!!
