Chapter 1309: Red Brick Maze
The next moment, in the emptiness beside him, countless lines of ghostly green code materialized, weaving into towering walls of red brick that extended infinitely in all directions, twisting and turning...
Viewed from high above, these red brick walls instantly carpeted the entire domain, with countless intersecting paths winding around each other, resembling a massive red brick labyrinth.
Every god caught within this space stood scattered across the different paths, expressions somewhat dazed.
At the same time, in the ink-black night sky, rows of ghostly green characters floated into view:
【All walls of the maze are indestructible】
【Flying is prohibited within the maze】
【Any form of detection abilities are prohibited within the maze】
【Spatial teleportation is prohibited within the maze】
【The administrator has supreme editing permissions】
"What is this..."
War God Tyr stared at the floating characters beneath the pitch-black night sky, his brow furrowed tightly.
Before he could finish speaking, the maze beneath his feet seemed to come alive. The intersection ahead slowly shifted, and the predetermined maze paths began to automatically deviate. From high above, it looked as if countless giant hands were continuously shuffling the maze layout, creating a dizzying spectacle!
At that moment, more than two hundred paths away from War God Tyr, a wide maze gate slowly opened...
"You may enter now." Seated at the very top of the maze, Guan Zai lifted the brim of his cap slightly, a faint smile on his face. "This maze can trap them for at least ten minutes. During that time, I'll control all the maze routes. Rest assured."
At the maze entrance, Zhou Ping, his sword case on his back, nodded calmly:
"Everything's in your hands."
He strode forward, walking directly into the maze entrance. As the paths shifted, his figure quickly vanished without a trace.
Outside the maze, Zuo Qing patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder. "Just wait here outside. Don't go in—Guan Zai will keep you safe."
Following this, the Queen Mother of the West, Zuo Qing, Wang Mian, and Master Chen walked in one after another, disappearing into the maze entrance as well.
The roaring battle on either side of Bifröst gradually subsided. The three-pronged double-edged blade cleaved through a god's neck. Yang Jian glanced at Sun Wukong expressionlessly and said coolly, "This time, I was faster than you."
"Tch." Sun Wukong hoisted the Ruyi Jingu Bang, gesturing toward the maze interior with his chin. "There are still so many gods in here. The match isn't over yet."
"Very well." A silver gleam gradually kindled in the vertical eye between Yang Jian's brows. "Then let's continue!"
Two figures—one golden, one silver—blasted into the maze entrance like lightning, vanishing in an instant.
Above the maze,
Guan Zai watched everyone enter the maze, then turned to the Yuzuri Takishiro beside him:
"Shiro, the props I made specifically for you—are they still with you?"
Yuzuri Takishiro nodded. "Yes, all of them."
He swept his hand through empty air, and streams of light condensed into physical form, landing in his palms:
【Admin-Made Necklace】: Within the Red Brick Maze, you possess full-map vision.
【Admin-Made Ring】: Within the Red Brick Maze, you can phase through any walls at will.
【Admin-Made Brooch】: Within the Red Brick Maze, you can teleport any designated target to any corner of the maze.
Yuzuri Takishiro equipped the several items, his right hand resting on the hilt of the Magatsu blade at his waist. His snow-white hair fluttered gently as he vanished from his position in a single blur.
The maze entrance slowly closed. Lin Qiye stood in place, watching as gods in the distance continued to rush into this game domain, being teleported into the maze. A trace of worry flickered across his eyes.
Guan Zai, Yuzuri Takishiro, Zuo Qing, Master Chen, Wang Mian—the five Human Apex—and Zhou Ping, the Queen Mother of the West, Sun Wukong, and Yang Jian—the four Chief Gods—all gathered here. This already represented the peak combat power that Great Xia could deploy. Even facing the Norse Gods' encirclement, they could at least withdraw unscathed... What he truly worried about was Si Xiaonan.
Before Lu Wuwei found Loki, Si Xiaonan being alone with Loki would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.
He wondered—could her plan proceed smoothly?
...
Human Enclosure.
Cathedral.
"Then, you eat first."
The moment Loki spoke these words, Si Xiaonan's expression beneath the steps changed dramatically.
"Lord Loki, I don't understand what you mean." Si Xiaonan drew a deep breath, her tone confused. "The Pills of Immortality and Indestructibility—I retrieved these Great Xia secret treasures for you. Aren't you going to use them to ascend to the Supreme God? Why would you have me eat them?"
"Being cautious never hurts." Loki sat upon his divine throne, speaking leisurely.
"After all, who knows if these two pills... are really the Pills of Immortality and Indestructibility?"
"Lord Loki, you don't trust me?"
"Hehe." Loki gave a light laugh. "Our Xiaonan, of course I trust you... But who knows if these two pills might have been swapped out by Great Xia?
Why don't you test these two pills for me first? Once the medicinal effects take hold, I'll use 'Trickery' to rewrite reality, bringing everything back to before you swallowed them.
That way, won't we know whether the pills are real or fake?"
Si Xiaonan's pupils contracted sharply.
Loki's narrow eyes narrowed further. He stood up, slowly walking toward Si Xiaonan.
His ornate ecclesiastical robes brushed against the pristine white steps. He gently lifted Si Xiaonan's pallid face, his lips approaching her ear, whispering like a venomous snake coiling its tongue:
"Our dear Xiaonan is the most obedient and useful servant. You'll help me... won't you?"
Loki's voice pierced into Si Xiaonan's mind, causing her figure to tremble uncontrollably.
She bit down hard on her lips, avoiding Loki's gaze. After a long silence, she finally nodded:
"I... understand."
Although Loki's tone seemed gentle, Si Xiaonan knew she had no choice. Even if she didn't voluntarily swallow the pills, Loki would forcibly stuff both pills down her throat. The things he decided were simply impossible to change.
Seeing Si Xiaonan nod, the smile at the corner of Loki's lips grew more brilliant by the moment. But soon it returned to its usual form. He gestured toward the two pill bottles on the ground with his chin, speaking calmly:
"Eat."
Si Xiaonan slowly bent down, picking up the two pill bottles at her feet, pouring out one pill from each and placing them in her palm.
Si Xiaonan stared at these two pills, drew a deep breath, and swallowed both at once!
After Loki confirmed she had truly eaten the pills, he leisurely strolled back to sit on his divine throne. Propping his chin on one hand, he watched with great interest as Si Xiaonan stood below the steps.
The entire cathedral fell into deathly silence.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The dim afternoon sunlight filtered through the colorful windows, casting jewel-like light across Si Xiaonan. Her fists were clenched tight, her teeth biting down so hard on her lips that streams of blood dripped down her chin and fell to the ground.
Five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds...
As time ticked by moment by moment, Si Xiaonan's face, already deathly pale, finally contorted in agony!
Black blood poured from her seven apertures. She let out a pained roar, her feet stumbling forward, but lacking any strength to support herself. The entire person collapsed to the ground!
