The path forward is painful and tormenting, but returning is quite easy.
However, Aisha always felt a bit uneasy.
Because on the way back, fellow student Abigail would occasionally glance at her with a subtle gaze.
This made Aisha can't help but want to go over and rub her little head.
But thinking about this child who looks small and might break if Chloe squeezes her in, but is essentially a deity, she hesitated to act.
"Abigail, why are you always looking at me?"
Abigail stood obediently beside Chloe without speaking, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose.
Aisha was even more fearful upon seeing this.
God knows what this child wants to do.
It was Chloe who helplessly flicked Abigail's forehead aside: "Don't scare her, Aisha is not a bad kid."
"Brother, I didn't say she's bad." Abigail explained, "It's just that compared to this, I think you need to consider her digestion of the Master of Heaven."
"Can't we wait a little longer? Until I ascend to Demigod."
"No, I have a bad feeling, so do it as quickly as possible, Brother. Over here, don't slack off either."
"..."
Chloe didn't know how to describe these complicated feelings.
Being urged by his lover, this feeling was quite subtle.
But to be honest, considering the environment of the Maze, he was indeed not too interested.
Hmm, it was all Abigail's requirements, definitely not his own desire.
Chloe quickly gave himself some psychological guidance.
Yes, everything was what the lovers wanted, I, Chloe, am pure and untainted.
Of course, whether others believed it was another matter.
Once they returned to the temporary safety zone, they were surprised to see the students with Ethereal Emblem again.
"You all worked hard during this period."
He was truly amazed by these students with Ethereal Emblem.
So fast, really so fast.
Not just a group crowded in one place can be called a safety zone.
Building a temporary safety zone is like providing an advance frontier for Extraordinary individuals to attack or defend.
In other words, it's infrastructure work.
Constructing the framework of infrastructure in the shortest time is truly an art.
Granted, with assistance from Extraordinary Power, the speed of infrastructure can be much faster.
But when he returned, the place where students originally gathered on the twentieth level had already become a simple fortress.
Hmm, although it was the smallest sort.
But considering the number of students and the difficulty of building a fortress amid frequent Maze Monsters attacks, he was quite amazed.
The potential of these guys is somewhat terrifying.
It's a pity the time until the final battle won't be long.
Otherwise, given a chance to grow, they might meet the standards to join the battle.
Laura wiped the dirt off her face and said, "Looks like you're doing quite well."
"Yeah, so we came back for a bit, Xiaolu and the others are about to break through, breaking through in the depths of the Maze is too risky."
Laura understood instantly.
No wonder they retreated after being deep in the Maze for several days, defending against breakthroughs can make an Extraordinary individual's defenses fall to the bottom.
So-called breakthrough during battle, rather than saying breakthrough during battle, it's more like lacking choice, having to risk during the fight.
"Then you guys go take a rest." Laura comforted, "Now the protection in the temporary safety zone has improved, not as tense as a few days ago, you keeping an eye on their ascension reassures us."
"Okay."
...
Deep within the temporary safety zone, the simple camp.
Suddenly, streaks of white light rose in the darkness, seven bright golden meteors trailed tails of light, plummeting towards the earth.
Inside the tent, Rephya's naked spine pressed against the cold rock layer.
The Extraordinary Traits of the Titan Path were not as docile as people imagined; she had already begun consuming the Extraordinary Traits deep in the Maze and quickly felt the Extraordinary Power gathered in her spine starting to activate.
With each bright golden star activated, anomalies appeared around her, the ground began to undulate, and Rephya's bones made teeth-gritting creaking sounds.
"The sixth one..."
The girl's bitten lips seeped faint blood; if it was just breaking through the Sequence, she should instantly stabilize her form.
But with the Sequence ascension, the Divine Power of the Holy Bone began to surge.
This was a sensation Rephya had never experienced before.
Though in the echoes of history, she gained memories from the past, knowing how to break through to higher levels.
But back then her True God Uniqueness was [Titan Race], no longer [Holy Bone].
Now, breaking through hastily during the critical moment, she didn't manage to control the Divine Power of the Holy Bone well.
"Senior is truly a monster..."
The gravitational field around Rephya suddenly intensified by tenfold, meanwhile, the surrounding land suddenly sank three feet.
It was the seventh star river hammering into the spine, completely activating the Titan Path's berserk power. At this moment, Rephya's pupils completely transformed into silver-white, faint Earth Divine Runes appeared on her skin, these ancient symbols began gathering Divine Power anew.
Luminous, substantial dazzling power continuously flowed into Rephya's body as if a whirlpool existed inside her, endlessly devouring everything around.
After a long time, Rephya let out a long breath.
"Finally, I've been promoted to Sequence Seven."
Feeling the power surging within her body, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In this brief moment of breakthrough, she could feel the Holy Bone's divine power transforming into a mighty river, continuously washing over her body.
This feeling was quite unique.
In the past, when Rephya utilized the Titan Race, her body felt increasingly burdened, as if carrying a mountain on her back.
Yet it was precisely this burden that allowed her to unleash a punch akin to a mountain crash and a sea roar, with a terrifying power that shattered everything before her.
But now, when she threw a punch, it lacked the same irresistible force as before, yet the attack, imbued with divine power, flowed like a gentle river, wave upon wave washing over mountains, as if millennia had passed in the blink of an eye, unknowingly crossing vast valleys.
She exhaled deeply and suddenly raised her head to look in another direction.
In the nearby camp, she also sensed a familiar power surging.
A bloody scent spread, crimson chains shot out from all directions, and the roar of ancient war souls made her eardrums ache slightly.
Suddenly, a sword-and-shield cleaved through the chains, directly shattering the war soul. The shield began absorbing the surrounding blood mist, with dark red patterns spreading across the sword and shield like veins.
"Not enough yet..."
Fratiss's murmuring voice arose.
She tore off the remnants of armor on her chest, allowing the blood energy to pour into her heart. Gradually, a bloody phantom began to spread behind her.
The unfurling wings curled back in front of her, wrapping her slender and graceful body, transforming into a giant blood-red egg, falling into a slumber.
Rephya turned to Chloe with disinterest.
Chloe blinked innocently.
"What are you looking at me for? It's not like I looked on purpose."
"So you're not denying it, you did see, right?"
Chloe coughed, turning his head away.
Rephya snorted, unhappily stepping lightly on his ankle, "You're not even going to spare little Fratiss, are you?"
"How could I, am I such a filthy person?"
"Why not? How about you count on your fingers."
"...Let's not talk about this, indeed you were the fastest to break through, the noise they're making is almost uncontrollable."
Chloe looked at Fratiss with some concern.
With his years of accumulated experience, he could tell at a glance the current situation with Fratiss.
The shattered talent within her was merging and beginning to advance on the path of the Blood Angel.
Due to the talent being activated with Lilith's help, her body would also start adapting toward the Blood Angel.
"Just don't know if she has the chance to unravel the enigma of the womb yet."
Once the enigma is unraveled, Fratiss's last grudge regarding Lilith would completely dissipate.
With his understanding of that silly sister, she might cry loudly at that time.
Just then, Fufu's annoyed voice sounded, "Don't just stand there watching, suppress the surrounding commotion a bit."
The advancement commotion of Sequence Seven was quite significant.
They hadn't intended to let outsiders notice the situation, so they had to suppress the commotion from the advancement, minimizing detection.
Initially, Fufu alone could still suppress it.
But the situation on Aisha's side was not quite right.
The tachi hanging on her was beginning to shimmer with layers of blade light, the surrounding floor tiles were sliced into fragments, and amidst the storm of myriad weapons, her figure swayed, unveiling the form of the Enchanting Demon.
Aisha's scales emitted a series of wails. In an instant, the claws employed by the Enchanting Demon as weapons shattered and merged into the tachi in her hand.
Chloe's surprised voice came, "The manifestation of the Demon Soldiers."
Demon Soldiers, the weapons of demons.
In the Bottomless Abyss, some demons with strong potential would forge a part of their bodies into their exclusive weapons.
Chloe's previous Thunderous Battle Halberd was the same, able to grow alongside the demon themselves.
Of course, that was in the past.
He no longer had an exclusive weapon now.
Damn.
Thinking back, after a single battle, even his exclusive weapon was shattered.
Couldn't even keep the halberd handle.
It hurt, it hurt too much.
But soon, he couldn't afford to think about it that much.
Because Aisha's breakthrough was reaching its final stage.
"Seal."
The girl grasped the trembling hilt, and blade marks appeared on her forehead.
Amidst the green glow bursting from the tachi, the phantoms of successive Warlords emerged, one of which descended, merging into the tachi.
As the sound of the blade's cry resonated, Rephya noticed her own sword hilt tremble slightly in her hand.
"Not bad!"
Rephya said with a bit of surprise.
Aisha was different from them; among the three of them who advanced this time, she could be said to have the weakest foundation.
But now, it seemed her friend's potential was surpassing what she had imagined.
She looked a bit enviously at Chloe and said:
"In the end, things still went as you wished; now she's tightly bound to your chariot."
