The storm wrapped in rainbow light descended from the sky, taking Hyacine and Barbara, as well as the crowd of gods and Adventurers who followed, directly penetrating the ground on the outskirts of the ruins, destroying layer after layer of walls and ceilings, and diving directly towards the deepest part of the ruins.
The storm on the outside was like a powerful high-pressure water gun, mixed with rocks and tough minerals, acting like a diamond drill, easily drilling through the ground.
And the Adventurers and gods inside the "drill," without exception, were marveling at the power of the Deliverers.
"Wind combined with water, can it actually do such things? How on earth did they develop magic and skills?"
"And the control of the force is very good; the vibrations from the outside can't be felt on the inside at all... How is that possible? This is not an effect that can be achieved by simple training."
However, neither Hyacine nor Barbara could pay attention to the voices of the people around them, because their perception had already followed a wisp of the thousands of winds and felt the situation below the ruins.
If explained using a radar, it would be one super large red dot, followed by countless small red dots nearby... It was like a zombie siege, and there was even an elite monster Wesker inside!
"As expected, do monsters like this all have the ability to summon their own kind?"
The floor boss in the Dungeon, Udaios, could summon small skeleton soldier monsters to swarm and attack the Adventurers.
Therefore, it is not strange for a monster like Andaris to have summoning abilities; in fact, it would be strange if such a powerful monster didn't have any special abilities!
"So everyone, be careful later!"
"The number of monsters is large. After arriving at the destination, please everyone stay in place and do not walk around..."
"We will go and eliminate Andaris!"

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the ruins.
The pitch-black giant scorpion was staying in place, completely without moving. Ever since it devoured the Moon Goddess Artemis, it had been digesting this power, allowing itself to complete a thorough transformation.
In the crystal above its head, the figure of the Moon Goddess Artemis was looming, and it was constantly releasing blue light... That was exactly the divine power of Artemis!
The blue light was swirling around Andaris just like this, making this monster, which was enough to destroy the world, seem to have added a touch of holiness.
And beside Andaris, countless scorpion swarms occupied the entire space. They also did not move, but instead turned their heads towards the direction of Andaris, looking no different from a pilgrimage.
After all, to these smaller versions of the scorpion swarms, Andaris was their god! It was their holy one!
Boom boom boom—!
Originally, Andaris should have continued to lurk in the depths of the underground until it completed its transformation and then brought calamity to the world.
But as an abnormal sound came, this space underground produced a strong vibration, and many huge rocks even fell from the top of the cave, crushing those little scorpions that were on a pilgrimage.
Seemingly having sensed the abnormality, the pitch-black giant scorpion slowly opened its eyes and raised its head to look at the top of the cave...
There, the crack was becoming larger and larger, as if something was about to penetrate the ground and arrive in front of it.
Bang—!
As the rocks completely shattered, the rainbow-colored light penetrated the land between the sky and the depths of the ruins, completely illuminating the entire pitch-black cave.
"Hiss hiss?!"
Andaris, which had not moved for a long time, slowly raised its cold-gleaming stinger and two massive scorpion claws, looking at the rainbow-colored light with uncertainty.
Within that light, it seemed to sense an unusual pressure and knew it was about to face an unprecedentedly strong enemy, even more powerful than the Great Fairies who had sealed it away back then!
What to do?
Run, or not?
After such a long time, Andaris's metamorphosis would be completed in a very short time. Perhaps that formidable enemy in the distance had the power to contend with it, but once the metamorphosis was completely finished, Andaris had absolute confidence that it could counter-kill the opponent!
Why?
Because it had devoured a god!
What else in this world is more powerful than a god?
Nothing!
Therefore, Andaris assumed a combat stance, preparing to have a good fight with these intruders who had snuck into its dwelling!
It would let them know who the master of this place was!
Boom—!
After completely shattering the ground below, the originally dark environment was immediately illuminated by a faint blue light. Hyacine, Barbara, and their group had arrived at the depths of the ruins, a place no Adventurer had reached until now.
The rainbow-colored light slowly dissipated, and the surrounding scene came into everyone's view.
But immediately after, their expressions became dazed.
What kind of space was this?
Pitch-black calamity occupied almost every part of the cave's interior, even on the walls, looking like a living wall that could rush over at any moment.
And that was indeed the case. To protect its purification, Andaris had summoned swarms of pitch-black scorpions to stop any Adventurer from coming here.
Fortunately, when Hermes came to investigate back then, he did not go deep into the ruins; otherwise, what would have awaited him were Andaris's giant claws! It might have even cost the life of another god!
Compared to the surprise of the Adventurers, the two gods immediately cast their gazes toward the furthest point... the place where the blue light converged was undoubtedly where Andaris was!
'It actually started to evolve after devouring a god?' Hermes's expression was one of disbelief. After all, since the gods descended to the lower world, no monster had ever devoured a god, and this was their first time dealing with such a crisis.
'If this continues, the lower world will truly be destroyed!' Even Artemis was full of worry; after all, her main body was inside the magic stone on Andaris, and the closer she was, the more clearly she could feel it.
The Moon Goddess's power was being stolen by this monster!
If not stopped, Andaris would gradually transition from a monster of the lower world into a divine beast possessing divine power!
Perhaps it wouldn't reach that level in terms of strength, but in terms of status, it would be an existence similar to Fenrir and Jörmungandr.
If this scorpion were given another billion years, it might truly be comparable to those divine beasts!
'Rest assured.'
'With us here, the lower world will not be destroyed.'
Two figures slowly walked out from the crowd. They slowly raised their heads, locked onto the monster itself on the rock in the distance through the swarms of pitch-black scorpions... the Scorpion of Calamity, Andaris!
'Are you ready, Andaris?'
'We have brought destruction for you!'
