Chapter 199: The Dungeon Swarms Out!
As Ouranos withdrew his control over Hestia, an unprecedented War Game and the experiment to create a god in Genkai came to an end.
Shirou also withdrew the release of the Ring of Human History almost simultaneously.
After all, he himself had no impulse to destroy the world, and it was even less likely that he would perform such a crazy act.
Only if Ouranos had truly gone completely mad and wanted total mutual destruction would Shirou have not hesitated for a moment to activate that unprecedented Noble Phantasm.
But fortunately, Ouranos was ultimately a rational being. He did not take any further action, but stopped all movement.
"Phew—"
The moment he withdrew the Ring of Human History, Shirou took a deep breath.
Using this unimaginable Noble Phantasm, 'The time of birth has arrived, correcting all phenomena with this,' was a tremendous pressure for him.
Just maintaining the Noble Phantasm for a short time made him feel as if his soul was about to be crushed by an unprecedented heavy burden.
If Shirou had truly unleashed this Noble Phantasm without reservation, even his current demigod body might instantly collapse.
In fact, even now, he felt that his bodily functions were in chaos.
The moment he returned to calm, a large number of discomforts surged over him, including nausea and imbalance. Even his teeth felt misaligned. An unprecedented sense of oppression rushed over him.
This state only ended after a long time, when Hestia in front of him gradually woke up from her coma.
"What is... what am I doing?"
Hestia opened her eyes blankly.
She clearly had no memory of everything that happened before, so she completely failed to understand why she had suddenly appeared on Orsa Island, and even less why she was at the center of the volcano.
"Hestia..."
Seeing the goddess who had returned to her former appearance, Shirou paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but hug her.
"Eh, eh, eh!!"
Not expecting Shirou to do this suddenly, Hestia was startled, and then her face quickly turned red. "Why are you suddenly doing this? Did Shirou finally awaken? Have you realized this goddess's love for you? But this place is not suitable for that kind of thing..."
"What are you talking about?"
Shirou looked at Hestia blankly.
He then quickly told her everything that had happened before, including how Hestia had almost melted the souls of all the adventurers under Ouranos's manipulation.
"I... I actually did something so terrifying?"
Hestia's face changed drastically after hearing this.
Shirou, however, comforted her with a calm expression: "Don't worry, everything is over. Ouranos has also given up on his plan."
"Has he really given up?"
Hestia gradually recovered her senses regarding Shirou's words.
But she then brought up a new question, which was her suspicion that Ouranos might not give up so easily, but would design a new scheme.
After all, Ouranos's cultivation in Genkai for so many years meant his obsession with creating a god was unprecedented and unimaginable.
Shirou's deterrence alone was unlikely to completely extinguish his desire.
"That is indeed a problem."
Shirou nodded at Hestia's words.
He also knew that Ouranos was unlikely to give up easily, but he currently had no good way to forcibly send Ouranos away.
After all, as the Heavenly God, forcibly sending him back to Heaven would undoubtedly come at a huge cost.
And even if Ouranos returned to Heaven, he would still be able to return to Genkai tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years later.
This was a battle that was destined to be endless.
"Never mind, let's not worry about Ouranos for now." Hestia shook her head. "Compared to that bastard Heavenly God, let's first ensure the safety of the people on the island."
"Mhm."
Shirou nodded and stood up from the spot with Hestia.
However, just as the two were about to take action, an indescribable torrent suddenly tore through the clouds in the sky.
A violent surge of energy impacted the earth from underground and shot straight into the sky. Although the dazzling light was happening in a very distant place, its sheer scale made it clearly visible even on Orsa Island.
"What is that? Why is it so exaggerated?!" Hestia looked at the pillar of light in the distance in surprise, and suddenly realized something, speaking in panic, "And that direction is... the location of Orario! Did something happen to Orario?!"
"I don't know, but I don't think it has anything to do with Ouranos."
Shirou frowned.
He didn't think that Ouranos, after single-handedly controlling the chaos on Orsa Island, would still have the capacity to stir up such chaotic activity in the labyrinth city of Orario.
Most importantly, if the other party knew that his threat was real, they should not take any action or means, at least for now.
Otherwise, Shirou would definitely activate the Anti-Humanity Noble Phantasm and completely destroy Genkai.
Ouranos could not ignore this risk.
Therefore, Shirou felt that the pillar of light absolutely had nothing to do with Ouranos.
However, if all that had nothing to do with the Heavenly God Ouranos's scheme, what exactly had happened? What kind of event could cause such astonishing results?
"Astraea and the others are still in Orario, right? They should be able to handle it, right?"
Hestia spoke to herself, more praying than asking a question.
In response, Shirou spoke quietly: "Regardless, what we need to do now is deal with the chaos on Orsa Island. At least we have to ensure the safety of the adventurers. The chaos in Orario can only be dealt with after everything here is resolved."
"That's the only way."
Hestia nodded, agreeing with Shirou's idea.
The two then immediately split up, going in two directions on the island to search for survivors and help the injured adventurers.

At the same time, in Orario.
"That is..."
The gods on Babel felt an unprecedented surge of energy suddenly erupt.
The Heavenly God Ouranos reacted the fastest. He almost instantly widened his eyes and spoke in disbelief: "My suppression and seal on the Dungeon have been released. Who did it?"
"Seal?"
Astraea looked at Ouranos in surprise.
Ouranos, however, spoke with a helpless expression: "That is the greatest function and mechanism of Babel.
Its purpose is to suppress the Dungeon and prevent the monsters inside the Dungeon from swarming out. But clearly, that mechanism has been broken, and the result is that the monsters in the Dungeon are no longer suppressed and will swarm out, and even those things in the deepest parts of the Dungeon can no longer be contained!"
