This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 970 - 458: Labyrinth of the God of Light_2

"This mirror, aside from releasing a blinding light, also has a more powerful hidden function," the Son of Heaven said.

"What?"

"Creating a labyrinth."

"A labyrinth?" the Blood Emperor puzzled.

"Yes, a labyrinth personally constructed by the God of Light, hidden inside this very mirror. However, to reconstruct the labyrinth, you must first shatter the mirror, allowing its fragments to disperse in all directions, and only then can you create the labyrinth by manipulating light and shadow!"

The Son of Heaven looked at the mirror in his hands and shook his head, "But the process of breaking the mirror is irreversible, meaning this ability can only be used once. If it fails, this Divine Artifact will have been wasted for nothing."

"Then what’s the use of the labyrinth once it appears?"

The Blood Emperor hurriedly asked. In this life-and-death moment, he couldn’t care less about the loss of a mere Divine Artifact. If it could really handle the Titans, even ten or a hundred would be worth sacrificing.

"Once the labyrinth is activated, for its duration, all beings within it will be doomed to wander ceaselessly, never finding an exit," the Son of Heaven said.

"Even the Titans?" the Blood Emperor asked.

"Yes, even the Titans will not be able to escape the confinement of the labyrinth," the Son of Heaven nodded.

"With such a useful ability, why didn’t you mention it earlier?!" the Blood Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

Even if the labyrinth had no offensive capabilities and could only contain the Titans without killing them, it could at least buy humans enough time to await a turning point.

As for the loss of a Divine Artifact? What does that matter—later on, everyone could simply fundraise to compensate the Son of Heaven for the loss. The Blood Emperor believed that the Son of Heaven would surely not mind sacrificing a Divine Artifact.

Upon hearing this, the Son of Heaven just shook his head with a bitter smile and did not respond.

The Blood Emperor immediately realized something, "Does activating the labyrinth have other side effects?"

"Yes," the Son of Heaven nodded.

"What is it?"

"Activating the labyrinth requires the continuous burning of the user’s soul, and moreover, the operator must be a chosen successor of the God of Light..."

"Ah..."

The Blood Emperor looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise. The chosen successor of the God of Light—that meant only the Son of Heaven himself could do it.

This meant that to activate the labyrinth would first require the self-sacrifice of the Son of Heaven...

Burning the soul is different from burning life. Between a life’s body and soul, the soul is fundamental. If the soul remains, even if the body is destroyed, there’s still potential for repair or conversion into an Undead. But once the soul is consumed, all is lost, with no means of resurrection.

"Son of Heaven, are you planning..." the Blood Emperor looked at the Son of Heaven in astonishment.

"This is the only way under the current circumstances to ensure the survival of the most people," the Son of Heaven calmly nodded.

The Blood Emperor fell silent. He suddenly remembered that before the Titans had descended, he had once questioned the Son of Heaven: if one day he himself became a pawn, and sacrificing him was the only way to save everyone, would he be willing to sacrifice himself?

At that time, the Blood Emperor had merely asked out of frustration, never imagining the prophetic nature of his words, that it would truly come to a choice for the Son of Heaven.

"Didn’t you once ask me why I chose to come to the Pacific Ocean?" the Son of Heaven suddenly smiled, lifting the Divine Mirror in his hand, "This is the real reason."

"Once Titans massively invade, this mirror might become mankind’s final hope."

"However, the God of Light’s labyrinth requires a vast area to unfold and can only be deployed in a sufficiently open and sparsely populated area. The only suitable location is the Black Hole in the Pacific Ocean,"

After saying this, the Son of Heaven shook his head, "Because it has never been used, I’m not sure if my soul will be enough to sustain the labyrinth for long. Anyway, if we’re lucky, maybe it can last until the Ghost Captain returns. After that, it’s up to him..."

"But what if the Ghost Captain also can’t handle these Titans?" the Blood Emperor asked.

"Then there’s nothing we can do. We were already surviving in a tight spot. Now, all we can do is our best and leave the rest to fate," the Son of Heaven said, placing one hand on the back of the mirror and forming a fist with the other. Divine Power surged through his hands, and then he slammed his palms together.

"Crack!"

The mirror shattered on cue, turning into countless glittering fragments, all floating in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Go,"

As the Son of Heaven waved his hand, all the fragments immediately turned into streams of light, dispersing in all directions, scattering over the surrounding sea. After a few twinkling flashes, they gradually disappeared, completely vanishing from sight.

Upon seeing the Son of Heaven decisively destroy a Divine Artifact, the Blood Emperor couldn’t help but sigh, but then he quickly remembered something and urgently said, "Wait, even if you activate the labyrinth, how will you lure the Titans into it? That female Titan is so perceptive; if she’s nearby, she’ll surely sense it’s a trap, right?"

"Don’t worry, since I’ve prepared the labyrinth in advance, I naturally have a way to lure them here," the Son of Heaven smiled.

"What is it?"

At this moment, the Son of Heaven took out his cellphone, logged into the game Fool, and manipulated something in the game.

Moments later, he held a cube made of a resin-like transparent material in his hand. Through the outer walls of the cube, a baby fist-sized irregular stone was visible, preserved inside.
