Terrifying Divine Power rose from within the golden-haired male god, transforming into transparent flames that enveloped him completely.
"Fall into frenzy, world!"
He shouted again, raising his hand and pointing forward.
A crimson light shot out, colliding in mid-air with an elemental slash that was a mixture of purple, yellow, and cyan.
Accompanied by a loud "Boom," a terrifying mushroom cloud appeared out of nowhere. Scorching heatwaves spread in all directions, blowing away the few remaining members of the Dionysus Familia inside the 'Plane of Euthymia'.
There were two unlucky souls who had already been heavily injured previously, breathing out more than they were breathing in. Caught once again in the shockwaves of a God-level attack, they didn't even have the chance to wail before they died miserably in their unconscious state.
The others didn't fare much better. Even those who were lucky enough to survive wore expressions of utter despair.
It goes back to what was said before.
Hilde—or rather, Levi controlling the pink-haired girl—was not bloodthirsty by nature. He didn't mind making an extra effort to distinguish between the good people and the bad eggs within the Dionysus Familia.
But the premise was that his own safety had to be guaranteed.
After Dionysus unsealed a portion of his Divine Power, although the boy with pale-gold short hair didn't plan to wipe out the Wine God's dependents, the crowd pulled into the 'Plane of Euthymia' still gradually withered away amidst the suicidal attacks of Filvis's clone and the clash of energy at the level of Divine Power.
Regarding this, Levi, whose main body remained at the Hestia Familia station... well, he actually had no thoughts on it at all.
If these guys died, they died. If they didn't die, was he supposed to die instead?
Without waiting for the terrifying explosion within the Reality Marble to end, Levi controlled Hilde to teleport, appearing at Dionysus's flank. The wrist of her right hand, gripping the sword hilt, turned gently.
She began her second round of attacks.
However, a God is a God after all. Even a Wine God who isn't skilled in combat.
As if he had eyes growing on his back, Dionysus suddenly condensed an incredibly thick shield of Divine Power behind him.
It was just a pity that the Divine Power he could currently unseal was less than one percent. And Hilde—leaving aside magic power—possessed a quasi-Divine Power energy formed merely by the fusion of Wish Power and Elemental Energy, which had already faintly caught up to the Deity before her.
Combined with the 'Three Flashes,' which could be considered top-tier even among 7-Star magic.
She actually unexpectedly broke open Dionysus's turtle shell, slicing the clothes he wore in half from the upper right to the lower left.
Unfortunately, Dionysus himself couldn't even be considered lightly injured; there was merely a faint white mark added to his back. Not even a drop of divine blood flowed out.
"Hahahahahaha!!!!!!"
Sensing that he had been hit by the Hero King's attack, and perceiving the special energy contained within that strike, the Wine God couldn't help but let out a maniacal laugh once more.
"Levi Bright, you are too interesting."
"I, Dionysus, am willing to title your talent as the strongest in the Lower World!"
"It's a pity I didn't go to the Guild back then. Otherwise, with your help, Orario might have been destroyed long ago."
"Of course, it's not too late now."
As he spoke, the Divine Power around him rose even higher, completely unconcerned about whether he would be sent back to Tenkai. He just looked with amusement at the Spirit girl who had returned to the sky.
"Hero King, become mine!"
Answering the Wine God was Hilde's silent rejection, plus a third 'Three Flashes'.
Dionysus, perhaps out of a God's arrogance, still chose not to dodge.
However, this time, the elemental slash was blocked by a transparent barrier just as it was about to touch him.
No, that wasn't a barrier!
It was the 'Frenzy Divine Domain' unique to Dionysus!
Seeing this, Hilde pursed her lips and whispered, "I knew it."
If Gods were that easy to kill, there wouldn't have been a complete lack of records of such events over the past thousand years.
The combination of Divine Power + Arcanum + Divine Domain, in a certain respect, inherently placed this group of guys in an invincible position.
Unless they encountered an opponent of the same level, allowing Divine Power to interweave, Arcanum to collide, and Divine Domains to erode each other. Otherwise, ordinary adventurers couldn't even get close to these guys.
Hilde had actually performed very well.
Although she temporarily gained a boost of quasi-Divine Power through the combination of Wish Power and Elemental Energy, she herself had not truly crossed that boundary line from human to God.
At this moment, as the three attacks exhausted the high-dimensional energy stored in the Seven-Colored Divine Light, the girl no longer had the possibility of continuing to fight Dionysus.
But...
Hovering in mid-air, she suddenly smiled at this moment.
"Fortunately, it's already over."
"What?"
Hearing this, Dionysus raised his head in surprise. Immediately after, as if discovering something, he froze in place.
About two seconds later, Dionysus covered his face, and laughter came from his mouth again. But it was no longer maniacal; instead, it began to become rational.
"Hehehe."
"It seems that this time, I really lost."
The spatial crack left in the Plane of Euthymia when Dionysus previously unfolded his Arcanum... the scene on the other side had, at some point, changed from the labyrinth structure to the Guild Hall.
Royman, Demeter, Loki, Ganesha, and high-ranking adventurers of the Loki Familia.
They were standing nearby at this moment. Although they were unclear about the true situation inside the Plane of Euthymia, they were clearly harboring the intention of reaping the benefits.
Dionysus had unsealed his Divine Power. In other words, once the girl in mid-air dispersed the Divine Domain, it meant he would be subject to the rules of the real world again and be sent back to Tenkai immediately.
Of course, even if he took this moment to re-seal his Divine Power, the golden-haired male god's ending wouldn't be much better.
Since Demeter appeared at the Guild, then her children must have already been completely rescued. With no worries behind her, the other party naturally wouldn't conceal his past crimes for him.
Regardless, being sent back to Tenkai was the inescapable outcome that followed.
It was precisely because he understood the fact that he had already failed that Dionysus put the mask of rationality back on.
He was a God after all; if he lost, he lost. He wasn't shameless or lacking in limits to the point where he couldn't even admit defeat.
But as the Captain of the Dionysus Familia, Filvis clearly didn't intend to give up just like that.
"We haven't failed yet!"
Her Patron God could be sent back to Tenkai, but as a monster, her only ending was death or life imprisonment. Since that was the case, what was there to be afraid of?
Roaring something unintelligible, she immediately launched an attack on Hilde again in Dionysus's place.
Unfortunately, in the next instant.
Accompanied by four flashes of light blinking in succession, Filvis's hands and feet were directly severed by sword qi. With madness and fear remaining on her face, she disappeared completely right in front of Dionysus.
