The ambush from Moon Law had no effect whatsoever. All the demigods, having received advance intelligence, responded perfectly. Not a single one fell for the trap!


    "Moreing?"


    "Do you think we''re fools?"


    "You''re asking for death!"


    …


    The demigods smiled, feeling that their intelligence hadpletely outssed the ambusher. Moreover... in the line of sight of many demigods, there appeared that same demigod shrouded in shadow energy once again.


    "Let''s take him down!" One demigod shouted angrily. The others were equally incensed.


    "Get him! That guy must have a ton of boss loot on him!"


    "Kill him first! He was the one who snatched the boss kill!"


    "This guy has been in Heavenly Curtain Canyon since early on; he probably triggered that special mechanism. He''s killed dozens of bosses and amassed a fortune; we have to take him out!"


    "Some of the earlier special bosses were probably killed by him too. There''s no need for us to argue. Taking him down means a huge profit!"


    In an instant, all the demigods were united in their hatred. On one hand, as they imed, this mysterious demigod was hiding incredibly lucrative rewards that were hard to resist. Killing him would yield far more than taking down a boss—perhaps even dozens of times more.


    On the other hand, they didn''t want to offend the cursed girl, Rosalie, and thus needed a scapegoat. As for why they wouldn''t seek peace with her directly, well, having reached the status of demigods, they were prominent figures and felt ufortable groveling.


    Rosalie, too, felt a chill in her heart. She was not one for idle chatter and had no desire to say much. With a slight motion of her hands, two strange energy orbs shot out, aimed directly at the distant demigod.


    At the same time, someone threw out a scroll.


    [Ding! yer [Vidox] has used the item [ughter Order]. Upon your current death, all items and equipped gear in your bag will drop.]


    At that moment, a notification shed before Sterl''s eyes, leaving him momentarily stunned. Was it really this ruthless? From the moment he unleashed Moon Law to test the waters, to the collective pursuit of all the demigods against him, it had taken less than a second…


    Yet Sterl secretly admired these demigods. Not bad, I didn''t underestimate your intelligence after all.


    In that instant, the curse power struck Sterl''s disguise—the mysterious demigod—binding him firmly in ce, rendering him immobile. Subsequently, several demigods unleashed their perfected Law Powers simultaneously, with some even using tinum-level skills. Countless nts, as if driven mad, twisted together to form a massive wooden dragon that charged forward at high speed…


    The orange-yellow energy rapidly gathered, forming crystallines that tightly encircled Sterl''s demigod disguise. Then, beams of light shot out at high speed, too quick for anyone to dodge.


    Moreover, a peculiar gel-like me spread across the ground, even melting the surrounding space, creating chaos where any spatial evasion or teleportation skills were rendered useless. Bone-like cages appeared rapidly...


    In short, being targeted by a group of demigods unleashing their full power, even Sterl found himself in a deadly predicament. At this point, if he didn''t activate ascension to godhood, he would surely perish.


    The attacking demigods had expressions of delight, as if they could already envision the treasure that would rain down once the mysterious demigod was in.


    Thanks to the ughter Order, upon the death of this mysterious demigod, all the rewards from the dozens of bosses he had killed would be released in one wave.


    Although the loot would be divided among the demigods, resulting in only a mediocre gain for each, the more crucial point was that this mysterious demigod seemed to know secrets about Heavenly Curtain Canyon, and he likely triggered its special mechanisms.


    Killing him might even uncover hidden rewards within this special map. Who wouldn''t be tempted? Who wouldn''t be excited?


    Even if, for argument''s sake, they couldn''t learn the secrets of Heavenly Curtain Canyon by ying the mysterious demigod, at least they would eliminate an absurdpetitor. If no one knew the secrets, it was as though those secrets didn''t exist.


    However... after countless attacks, the mysterious demigod let out a terrible scream and fell, reduced to nothing. But what left everyone dumbfounded was that this demigod didn''t drop anything; he simply transformed into a spinning tear that then dissolved into light…


    Swish!


    Once again, the surge of Moon Law erupted. Although the many demigods present were on guard, they still managed to counter the attack with their unique abilities. However, the dy allowed that tear to return to its owner''s hand.


    At that moment… the eyes of the demigods widened in disbelief as they watched the mysterious demigod effortlessly y the sixth boss with a simple swing of his sword, collect the loot, and then vanish into thin air.


    The entire sequence of actions unfolded as if no one else was present. The other demigods had already unleashed their full power to create a diversion for the mysterious demigod. It was no wonder they were a beat slow to react; after all, who had ever seen a replica item capable of perfectly mimicking its original? It was unheard of!


    In the face of such a sudden betrayal, no one could respond quickly enough!


    Moreover… the expressions of the demigods turned ashen.


    "We''ve been yed!"


    "That kid manipted our psychology."


    "He intentionally used Moon Law again to lure us into breaking the disguise."


    …


    These demigods were not foolish; they quickly realized the crux of the situation. This was a simple psychological scam. They would only firmly believe in conclusions they themselves had drawn. They had deduced that the mysterious demigod would once again use Moon Law tounch an ambush—


    Thus, after breaking Moon Law, the demigods focused solely on pursuing the attack, never considering that there might be anotheryer to the trap.


    "Damn it… don''t let me find you!"


    "Otherwise… I will make sure to…" The cursed girl, Rosalie, had a cold expression, causing the nearby demigods to instinctively take half a step back from her.


    "So, what do we do now?"


    "Should we just wait for the final boss of Heavenly Curtain Canyon to show up?"


    "But that mysterious demigod seems to be well-prepared; we won''t end up being the ones who get taken advantage of again, will we?"


    For a moment, the atmosphere turned strange. The numerous demigods were truly frightened by that mysterious demigod.


    They felt… that facing the final boss of Heavenly Curtain Canyon would be bad whether they engaged or not. If they fought and ended up getting robbed again, it would be a massive loss—just as the mysterious demigod had taunted them. They didn''t even know each other''s true identities, leaving them to suffer in silence.


    But if they didn''t fight, wouldn''t it be a wasted trip? Moreover, they could no longer teleport out of Heavenly Curtain Canyon.


    These demigods weren''tpletely without means; several of them could leave like Sterl by using a transfer method, but that woulde at a cost.


    After rushing to Heavenly Curtain Canyon with excitement, to leave without any rewards or even a single boss drop? They couldn''t swallow that frustration!


    "Fight? Why not fight?"


    "That bastard better show up." At this moment, Rosalie let out a cold smirk.


    Then she directly pulled out a strange bracelet made of skulls from her inventory. This excessively proud demigod rarely showed even a hint of pain, but she crushed the skull bracelet without hesitation.


    Instantly, a dark purple field rapidly expanded.


    Before the so-called mysterious demigod even appeared, the other demigods could no longer sit still.


    "Rosalie, what are you trying to do?"


    "Are you insane? Do you want to turn against all the deities behind us?"


    "If you attack us here, even your mother won''t be able to save you."


    …


    All the demigods looked terrified, and their subordinates fared even worse, each one letting out a Wail of Anguish.


    "Ahhh!!"


    "Help me! Save me!"


    "Master, please help me!!"


    "Ughh~"


    …


    Many legendary and even peak legendary yers fell to their knees, with faint purple energy threads connecting them to Rosalie, as their life force was rapidly drained away.


    The demigods could temporarily resist, but they were glued by the threads, forced to siphon off a portion of their power to counteract the draining effect. Meanwhile, the legendary yers had no means of resistance whatsoever.


    Before long, they were all kneeling on the ground. This was one of Rosalie''s greatest trump cards.


    The item crafted from fragments of the cursed divine authority—[Endless Purgatory]. Once this purgatory was activated, all units within arge area would have their life force drained by Rosalie, and there was absolutely no way to evade this skill; any unit that entered the range would surely be affected.


    Once afflicted, the use of teleportation skills would be restricted, and various curse effects would be continuously applied. If you got stuck, it would be a certain death!


    Cloning skills were useless as well, because the mysterious demigod would ultimately have toe in person to im the boss''s rewards. However, Rosalie''s actions were somewhat excessive. Although she was not targeting the other yers, the passive effects of [Endless Purgatory] were beyond what any legendary unit could withstand.


    Faced with the demands of the many demigods and the suffering of ordinary yers, Rosalie remained deaf to their pleas.


    "Fine! Fine! Fine!"


    "Later, wewill definitely seek an exnation."


    "Rosalie, don''t think this matter will end so easily!"


    ...


    The demigods shouted in anger. Then, there was silence…


    The kinder ones among the demigods split their power to protect their subordinates, escorting them to safety. Fortunately for them, Rosalie showed no intention of stopping this; she simply ignored the other yers and had no interest in ughtering the legendary ones.


    The more ruthless demigods, however, didn''t care at all. They merely gestured for their subordinates to flee quickly, indifferent to whether their life forces could withstand the departure from [Endless Purgatory].


    However… before the legendary yers could make any moves, the skies over Heavenly Curtain Canyon suddenly darkened.
