Chapter 267: Chapter 137

The structure of the Cloud City was quite complicated with almost no symmetry. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, it was like a huge onion with layers and rings. Numerous messy roads were scattered all over the layers of “onion skin,” which made people confused.

A joke on earth said that if a group of aliens came to invade and they arrived at the Xizhimen overpass, the aliens would spend a whole day before leaving. And they’d need some luck before even doing that. If the alien race didn’t have a good sense of spatial direction, maybe they would stay on the overpass forever.

However, compared with Cloud City, even the legendary Stone Sentinel Maze invented by Zhuge Liang or the ancient Greek Minoan maze in the myth was not worth mentioning.

People didn’t need to worry about choosing the wrong way in the city because they couldn’t find a “way” at all. What could be seen was only one crossroad after another and one turn after another. People would turn around and around and around, and then they wouldn’t know where they were.

If the shining Sun Throne in the center of the god’s kingdom was not there as a road sign, probably no one in the world would be able to escape this maze. Not to mention that in this maze, there were countless believers and oracles of the Sun God, as well as “Angels” comparable to the followers of other god systems.

According to the design of an RPG game, Cloud City was definitely a highly difficult maze. In addition, the monster respawn rates, and the average levels were crazy. It was estimated that countless players would throw away their mouse and smash their keyboards. Maybe there would be tutorials on the web titled, “Go Through the Cloud City Maze,” or people would rely on auxiliary plug-ins designed by programming experts.

However, this maze couldn’t be figured out.

The maze was definitely very complicated, but the God of Light walking at the forefront did not mean to go walk through the maze. He casually took off the hammer hanging from around his waist, and then the hammer became a huge warhammer after a wave of his hand. He pointed it in the direction of the Sun Throne; then he picked up the warhammer and smashed it all the way through.

Yes, he directly smashed the things in his way—walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as buildings, roadblocks, and enemies—totally into pieces. With the notorious method of kicking through the maze used by the running groups in DND, they moved straight toward the Sun Throne without following the paths.

When he first saw the huge maze, Sui Xiong had been amazed. As a maze architect, he had also expressed his respect for the complexity of the maze. He had secretly pondered how long it would take to break through the maze. But in fact, the God of Light spent only about three or five minutes drilling a hole from the outer layer of Cloud City to the center, directly to the core area of the entire city.

This guy… is definitely the natural enemy of all mazes! Sui Xiong secretly thought.

Following the elite squad with Wall, Sui Xiong neither rushed to the front in a hurry nor shrunk behind deliberately.

This meant that although they did not have to face the strong enemies who blocked the road directly, they had to help the god followers and the strongest oracles fight against the oracles and the Angels of the Sun God who were coming from all directions.

Honestly, those guys were not easy to deal with. They were not only large in number but also powerful in strength. The most terrifying thing was that these guys were not afraid of death, so they all behaved like willing sacrifices. If their opponents were a little weaker or their cooperation was not good enough, the Angels and oracles would surround them. Their opponents would be like beasts that fell into the trap, dying with injuries.

However, Sui Xiong and the rest were not like that.

They formed a cone array, and the tip of the cone was naturally the powerful God of Light. He was invincible, waving his warhammer no matter what kind of enemies were in front of his face. The difference was between being beaten or being crushed. The God of City and the God of Protection protected the flanks of the God of Light on the left and right like two giant shields. This allowed the God of Light to concentrate on advancing without fear of being pinched or attacked. The Goddess of Vow and Revenge followed a little bit behind with a giant bow in her hand. Black arrows of divine power were shot from her bow, intercepting the fast enemies and even killing them directly in the air. The God of Ranger wandered in the middle of the team with a short bow. The power of his arrows was not as strong as that of his companion, but they were incredibly fast. Almost every enemy would get shot by his arrows before getting close to him, which greatly decreased their chance of swarming them. The God of Heroes and the God of Aristocracy stood separately in the two wings of the third row, holding large swords and hand-held sword shields. They were constantly killing those enemies whose spirits had been lost after being blocked.

This formation was obviously practiced in advance, so their coordination was perfect. The tacit understanding between the gods was also very good. They easily dashed in the tides of the Sun God’s army from all directions like a red-hot blade cutting into butter, triumphing all the way.

Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and whipped up a flame giant wielding a burning sword up into the air. It was taller than the house next to him. He also took time to help Wall block a fire arrow from a distance. Then he waved another one of his tentacles to knock back the remaining enemies one by one.

He did not deliberately show mercy, but there were few enemies who died because of him in his way.

“Wall,” he finally couldn’t help but say after turning an enemy into a rolling gourd on the ground, “do you think that the enemies here are too thick? They were all like meat shields!”

Wall did not answer because his strength was still slightly weaker than this elite team. Even if Sui Xiong was helping him, he was fighting with difficulty and had no energy to chat.

Sui Xiong sighed and then studied the fighting methods of the gods of the Human God System.

After looking at them for a while, he reached a conclusion.

Weapons were very important!

With a powerful weapon, the killing ability could increase at least several times. Among the human gods, apart from the God of Light who was indeed incredibly powerful, the rest of them were not particularly strong in his opinion. However, relying on those powerful artifacts, they could defeat the oracles and Angels one by one like cutting melons and vegetables. Therefore, their combat efficiency was incredibly higher than his.

Well, I need a good weapon…

Sui Xiong was pondering in his heart while looking around to see whether he could pick up or grab a suitable weapon. It didn’t matter if it was suitable, as long as the power was strong enough.

So he waved his tentacles, collecting as many weapons as he could grab or pick up. But to tell the truth, the weapons were not strong enough. The entire squad rushed into the core area of Cloud City, and they were stopped by a group of Angels. The Angels were slapping their light wings which were burning like fire behind their bodies. All now, Sui Xiong still hadn’t found a suitable weapon.

“Looking for weapons?” asked the God of Aristocracy, a beauty with sunshine-like blonde hair and a bright smile. Despite this, she had a dark, despicable heart. She handed him a two-handed sword. “Use this.”

Sui Xiong took the weapon but felt a little uncomfortable in doing so. In order to cover up his slight embarrassment, he asked, “What’s its name?”

“Snake Killer, the precious of the old satyr,” the God of Aristocracy said, smiling. “I had been his mistress for more than 100 years, but he still saw this as his precious, not even allowing me to touch it. As a result, the sword is just so-so; it’s not good at all.”

The hidden information in this conversation was a bit heavy. Sui Xiong wanted to ask more about it. For example, he wanted to ask her who the “old satyr” was, or her role as “his mistress,” but he chose to stay silent. It was a wise choice

Damn! The circle was really messy!

However, this Snake Killer was indeed a good sword. It wasn’t at the same level as what he had picked up and grabbed from the oracles and Angels of the Sun God before. However,Sui Xiong could feel the powerful force surrounding the sword just with a slight wave. He could imagine that, with a slash of this sword, the former enemies who had been hurt would definitely become so mangled that their forms would need to be covered in children’s programs.

He just didn’t have a chance to do so yet, because the team temporarily stopped.

In the face of dozens of Angels gathering together, even the God of Light did not rush rashly. He ignored the curses and roars of the Angels but carefully studied the opposite formation instead. Then he looked at the Sun Throne not too far away and nodded lightly.

“I’ll rush over,” he said. “You drag them.”

He said that indifferently as a matter of fact.

Sui Xiong could not help but suggest, “What is the use of you rushing alone? We should rush over as a group.”

However, the God of Light did not pay any attention to him, or rather, he was not accepting opinions from others. After releasing the order, the God of Light shrunk the warhammer and hung it around his waist again; then he stretched over his shoulder with his right hand and pulled out the thick Silver Giant Sword.

In the next moment, his whole person flashed and went straight to the Sun Throne. He tore through the Angels, slashing at least seven or eight of them into two pieces as he whizzed past.

At this time, Sui Xiong just finished his sentence.

“Bloody hell! This guy does not listen at all!” Sui Xiong couldn’t help but complain. He had to continue rushing with the team and fought with the Angels and oracles coming in all directions.

This time, his combat record was much better than before. Except for some particularly powerful Angels who might have had mid-level divine power according to the levels of gods, average Angels would be halved by Sui Xiong . Some of the oracles tried to block his sword, the Snake Killer, with their weapons, but both bodies and weapons eventually turned into pieces.

With such a good weapon, the killing ability of Sui Xiong was rising sharply, and he already deserved the name of the first output of the entire team.

“In this way, I’m afraid I will attract their attention…” Sui Xiong couldn’t help but whisper. “What if a group of them comes to fight against me?”

He obviously thought too much because at this moment he was being protected by a dozen elite oracles. The oracles who originated from the “Sword of Justice” simply put their swords away and held their shields one by one to protect him firmly. No one could hurt Sui Xiong before breaking through this defense first.

As an offensive attacker, Sui Xiong was feeling good under the protection of the main tanks.

Sui Xiong slashed from left to right and from top to bottom. He was really awe-inspiring.

Therefore, he was finally garnering the attention of the strongest Angels.
