“Lord, it’s too dangerous for you to enter the building alone. Let me go in your place!” Luo Xingyao’s face was a little pale. It was getting difficult for her to resist the evil whispers ringing in her ears.

However, she still stubbornly gritted her teeth and blocked Link’s way.

Luo Xingyao didn’t want to see Link go into the dangerous and unpredictable building alone. But she herself was unclear as to what the specific reason was.

On the other side, Qiao Ruowei also took a step forward. She said grimly, “Let me go instead. I’m good at hiding, and I have a better chance of destroying the altar.”

A group of No Retreat Army soldiers also picked up the conversation, expressing their willingness to follow or go in Link’s place to destroy the God of Evil’s altar.

In the apocalypse, the hearts of people were most visible.

Warmth suffused Link’s heart, but the expression on his face remained serious. He had to do what followed alone.

The pollution and distortion here had reached a terrifying level. The probability of the others turning into aberrated deeper inside was too high. After all, not anyone had the added buffs from the [Fearless Pathfinder] title, which allowed one never to fall into madness and break down.

Moreover, Link had the [Ring of Teleportation]. If something about the situation wasn’t right, he could still teleport away at any time.

Although he was heading to a dangerous place, it wasn’t a place of no return for him.

“No need. All of you wait a little further away. I know what I’m doing.” Link’s calm words fell, powerful and resonating.

Link did not linger. He side-stepped Luo Xingyao and stepped into the building, while the six-winged angel, Yuna, followed closely behind him.

Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei subconsciously wanted to follow Link, but they were stopped by a wave of Yuna’s hand.

“Master has his own plans. The pollution in the building is too much for you to bear. If you don’t want to be a burden to Master, you should follow Master’s instructions.”

Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei knew that Yuna’s words were the truth. Although the two women were reluctant, they could only stop outside the building with the rest of the No Retreat Army’s soldiers.

They silently watched as Link’s slender back disappeared from view as if it was swallowed by the foggy darkness.

In the eyes of the crowd, Link’s back view looked a little sad and desolate at this moment!

The unknown often brought fear. Nobody knew what was in the building; there might even be a God of Evil!

It could be said that this place was incredibly dangerous from the moment a person stepped into it. With the increased distortion and pollution, it was a place where one was more likely to die than live.

Many people clenched their fists and cursed the Black Dragon Gang under their breath.

A few women from the No Retreat Army had already begun to pray silently for Link, hoping that he would return safely.

Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei also clenched their pink fists. Their hearts were filled with apprehension, though their gazes remained steady.

After all, Link had never let anyone down thus far. Both of them had an almost worshipful trust in him.

“The Lord will definitely return safely. The pollution near the building is too severe; let’s retreat to a safe distance and wait for the Lord to return,” said Luo Xingyao somberly.

The No Retreat Army soldiers did not object.

At this moment, it was pitch black inside the building.

The darkness seemed almost tangible as it caressed Link’s body. There was resistance as he walked through it. It felt as if he were walking through water.

There was also a slippery feeling underfoot. It felt as if they were walking on some kind of flesh, and it emitted a strange squelching sound.

Even Yuna—surrounded by swirling holy light as the staff in her hand glowed brightly—could only illuminate a small area around her in this incomparably bizarre environment.

Using the holy light’s illumination, Link scrutinized the surrounding environment.

This place was indeed the source of aberration, and it was incomparably twisted. The surrounding walls, ceilings, and floors were covered with dark-brown flesh.

Link and Yuna seemed to be walking in the body of some huge creature. These flesh-like walls were like a living thing, breathing and trembling.

Fear, despair, depravity, and blasphemy filled every corner and saturated the air.

Even the Holy Angel, Yuna, didn’t look too good. Link was also being attacked by fear and madness.

If an ordinary person were to witness such a sight, they would most likely have been distorted and aberrated long ago.

But under the effects of [Fearless]—a passive skill—a misty glow rippled out of Link’s body, resisting the darkness around it.

As Link’s summon, Yuna was also partially affected by [Fearless]. Together with her own divine attributes, she was able to resist the attacks.

Link and Yuna followed the source of the evil aura and went deeper. During this, Link took out the [Mask of the Faceless] and covered his face with it.

This piece of equipment was also a part of chaos, and it had the passive skill, [Faceless].

The wearer would receive the chaos’s protection. The wearer also couldn’t be deduced, spotted, and identified.

To destroy the Spider God’s altar, one must naturally be well prepared. After all, existences at the level of gods all possessed great power beyond human imagination. Even a single thought from them was enough to cause disaster.

Link did not want to be targeted by a god just yet.

The source of the distortion came from underground—where the original building’s basement should be. However, the original staircases and elevators had disappeared without a trace.

The way to the lower floor from the upper floor had been transformed into a hole full of spikes—which looked like a giant mouth full of teeth.

As Link and Yuna approached, the giant mouth seemed to sense the unfamiliar auras. It let out a strange hiss.

With the hissing sound, numerous Stage Three and Stage Four Spiderhumans quickly crawled out of the hole. They then lunged at Link and Yuna.

Without hesitation, Link wielded the [King’s sword] and swung it. With his current battle power, he was able to suppress Stage Five monsters and even Stage Six monsters.

These aberrated monsters were no match for him. They were churned into a puddle of flesh by the raging sword.

Link minced the fleshy ground and leaped underground.

The deeper they went, the more bizarre the sights were.

A number of aberrated Spiderhumans were gathered in the basement. On the flesh walls were cocoon-like bulges.

More aberrated monsters were apparently being bred.

This place had become something like a domain.

As Link had expected, this place would definitely become a hotbed for the God of Evil’s birth if the altar was not dealt with in time.

…

At the same time, in the second level of the building’s basement.

A huge altar stood here. If one examined it carefully, they would see that every part of the altar was made of piled-up human bones and limbs. It was bloody and horrifying.

There was a strangely shaped spider statue on the altar! The twisted and evil aura emanated from this statue.

Three twisted, spider-like figures respectfully kneeled under the altar.

These three figures were much bigger than the other aberrated monsters. The suppression emanating from their bodies was even more terrifying. They were obviously the most powerful of the Spiderhumans.

These three Spiderhumans’ eyes suddenly flickered with a green, ghostly aura, and an evil whisper followed.

“A human is approaching.”

“Finally…”
