Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2968 1622: Exploration and Advancement (Part 2)

"Space Judgment Blade!"

No sooner had she acquired her new Magic Wand than Moli reacted with lightning speed; a colossal, gray Space Giant Blade descended like a collapsing mountain and a raging tide, aimed directly at the head of one of the colossi.

Boom!

With a world-shaking impact, the colossus's enormous head was instantly obliterated, and its massive form then toppled over askew.

"A Tier 7 Staff is truly worthy—my Attack Power has nearly doubled!"

Moli's starlit eyes beamed with elation as she promptly turned her attention to the remaining colossus.

Judging by the auras emanating from these colossi, it was clear they all stood at the same Half-step Tier 7 level as their own group.

To obliterate an opponent of equal strength, even a relatively sluggish Golem Puppet, was something Moli had never dared to dream of before!

"Hundred Thunder Star Fall!"

Beside Moli, Kira, who had also been outfitted with Seventh Stage equipment, let her Mana surge uncontrollately, launching hundreds of colossal thunder orbs toward another colossus.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

These rapidly descending giant thunder orbs struck the colossus's body one after another, akin to falling stars.

As crackling Thunder Fluid cascaded, dark pits and craters quickly materialized all over the colossus; while not instantly killed, it staggered and fell to one knee.

At the forefront of the battle, Fei'er, Hollis, Rax, Payton, Lila, and the other physical powerhouses performed with equal brilliance; the fierce winds generated by their Tier 7 weapons swept across the battlefield. Hollis and the other strength-focused fighters, in particular, even managed to directly parry the enemy's Giant Axes—and they were still in their human forms.

As for Fei'er and Lila, their graceful, agile forms weaved through the massive ax blades like gales, ascending the colossi's thick arms and striking directly for their heads, where they unleashed a tempest of sword light.

With all the powerhouses unleashing their abilities and their coordination growing ever more seamless, those formidable Half-step Tier 7 colossi soon fell one after another, ultimately disintegrating into scattered Energy Particles and vanishing completely.

It's worth noting that while these colossi were relatively slow, their Defense Power was astonishingly high, reaching the very Peak of Half-step Tier 7. An ordinary Half-step Seventh-order expert would find it incredibly difficult to inflict significant damage in a short period, inevitably being drawn into a prolonged and grueling fight.

However, all of our powerhouses were equipped with superior Demigod Weapons, and with Sheila's blessing buffs layered on top, they could naturally shatter the enemy's defenses with ease.

Not long passed before, with the final colossus collapsing onto its back, the battle finally concluded.

"So this is the Trial of the Gate of Truth? If it were before now, it truly would have been quite the ordeal."

Moli stood with her hands on her hips, gazing at the now-empty hall with an air of complete nonchalance.

"The colossi's assaults, combined with our Stone Giants' and Half-Titans' Treasures serving as the Key of Truth—it seems the Trial here heavily emphasizes combat."

Lila cautiously surveyed their surroundings as she mused aloud.

At her words, Hollis and the others nodded in complete accord. Whether Stone Giants, Half-Titans, or the Titans represented by these colossi, all held bloodshed and close-quarters combat as the highest warrior's honor.

It seemed plausible, then, that the central theme of this Gate of Truth was Battle.

Upon hearing this, all the powerhouses couldn't help but exude an aura of extreme confidence.

From the earlier observations by Sheila and the other Stone Spirits, the group had already ascertained that the Stone Spirits within this area were at the Half-step Tier 7 Level.

Furthermore, the Trial of the God's Stone would not exceed the inherent strength of the Stone Spirits themselves—in other words, the most formidable adversary here would be at the Half-step Tier 7 level.

If the trial truly boiled down to straightforward combat, it would undoubtedly be immensely advantageous to their side.

"For now, that certainly appears to be the case, but we cannot entirely dismiss other possibilities. After all, obtaining the God's Stone is by no means a simple feat."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, reminding everyone, "Moreover, let us not forget that this is not solely the Trial of the God's Stone—it is also highly likely to contain mechanisms left by the Ancient Light Elves. We must maintain our vigilance."

"As you command, Lord!"

Everyone composed themselves and once again gathered around Leo Ray.

"Let us first finish exploring this hall."

Leo Ray directed his gaze toward the areas previously sealed by Barriers and took a step forward.

Just as Leo Ray had predicted, upon their return to those sections, the previously impenetrable Barriers had vanished, unveiling many other parts of the hall to them.

Following a meticulous inspection, Leo Ray made the following observations.

Numerous chambers were situated around the hall, some interconnected by corridors while others stood independently. These included restrooms, storage areas, meeting rooms, and even bedrooms, all containing numerous rusted artifacts left by the Ancient Light Elves. However, no valuable items such as weapons, armor, Magical Scrolls, or mineral resources were discovered.

"There is nothing of particular note here, nor are there any unusual Magic Traps,"

Moli emerged from the final room at the corridor's end, her brow furrowed. "Aside from a substantial layer of accumulated dust."

"It appears this hall does not constitute the entirety of the Barrier Area, nor is it the primary location for the Trial."

Leo Ray mused for a moment before stating, "There must be other Passages here, routes that link to different sections. Let's continue our search."

Indeed, it was not long before the group found themselves back in the main hall.

Before them stood a heavily sealed hall gate.

Leo Ray had, in fact, registered this gate's presence upon their initial entry.

At that time, however, the Gate had led to an ancient door connecting to the exterior Secret Chamber, which had not particularly captured his attention.

"It seems this is the Gate providing access to other regions."

Leo Ray paused before the Gate, giving Moli a nod.

Promptly, two Space Magic Puppets materialized at Moli's call. Then, under her direction, they positioned themselves against the Gate from both sides.

The path forward remained uncertain; a degree of prudence was always advisable.

With a deep, grating sound of metal, the hall Gate swung open.

The instant it opened, brilliant sunlight streamed through the gap, accompanied by a wave of invigorating floral perfume.

What greeted their sight was a radiant, cloudless sky and a verdant Garden landscape.

For a fleeting moment, the somber, ancient hall and the vibrant natural scene outside presented a striking contrast, as if they were two entirely separate worlds.

"So, the area outside the hall is actually the core of this Barrier Area!"

Moli's eyes, resembling stars, gleamed with curiosity as she gazed outward.

Although the brilliant sunlight here was merely a projection from the outside world, it appeared identical to the genuine article. This was more than sufficient to confirm the exceptionally advanced construction techniques employed in this Barrier Area.

"More accurately, what lies ahead is the true Trial site. Try not to cause any mayhem, young lady."

Leo Ray offered Moli a smile of resignation before stepping out of the hall with the other formidable individuals.

"Understood, I'm not a child."

Moli pouted, trailing behind Leo Ray's steps, and grumbled with a semblance of grievance, "Besides, I'm over eight hundred years old—I'm considerably older than you, you know?"

Hearing Moli's complaints, Leo Ray simply smiled and proceeded out of the hall.

Casting their gaze around, they observed flowerbeds in full bloom and meticulously trimmed shrubs flourishing everywhere, radiating an aura of life.

However, both Leo Ray and the other powerhouses soon detected something quite peculiar, leading them to exchange questioning glances.
