The small wooden bow snapped taut, forming a crescent moon. As Ammini's finger released its grip, the golden arrow transformed into a streak of light, piercing the heart of the main body, then curving gracefully toward the voluptuous, sensuous woman, Cyndia. Cyndia's face paled instantly, shouting, "Eriga, take me!" She was well aware of the nature of Cupid's golden arrow—once launched, it could neither be avoided, defended against, nor interfered with. The only way to escape was to flee at a speed surpassing that of the arrow itself. Of course, this was merely a temporary measure, for once launched, the arrow would continue its course unless it struck its mark. She now hoped that Sektyra could entice Ammini, wrest the神器 of Cupid from his hands, and use a lead arrow to neutralize the effect of the golden one. The bird-man Eriga, adorned with golden wings along his entire body, flung out his arms, his sharp talons gripping Cyndia firmly, and in a flash, became a streak of black shadow, soaring upward into the sky. Zhang Yuanqing immediately covered Heraxini's ears and raised his head, emitting a sharp, piercing cry. Whoosh~ The people present stiffened instantly, as though struck by a heavy blow. Blood surged from their nasal passages, seeping into their eyes and eardrums. Over half of the "half-gods" collapsed in a heap, their souls shattering and perishing on the spot. Heraxini wavered slightly, losing consciousness momentarily, and could not maintain her acceleration. As a result, in Cynthia's terrified expression, she was struck in the chest by a golden arrow. "Thump, thump, thump..." Cynthia's heart pounded fiercely, hormones rushing through her body. In her gaze toward Amini, love surged—deep, unwavering, and eternal. She yearned to rush to her beloved, and with sudden strength, clenched her right fist, driving it upward to strike Heraxini's abdomen. Thwack! Heraxini's abdomen absorbed the full force of the punch. Her claws loosened, and she spun, soaring into the air. Cynthia landed heavily, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, and swiftly moved toward Am Amiṇi's duplicate once again caught the arrow returning its flight, this time drawing the bow and aiming directly at Sektya. The ethereal beauty with flowing platinum hair made her final stand, her eyes brimming with shimmering tears, her expression now delicate and poignant, her voice trembling with heartfelt plea. "Please—don't!" Amiṇi growled, "For heaven's sake, this woman is relentless—my body is starting to give out. Body, you'll have to give her a good scolding later." With a forceful stream of words, he launched the arrow. Though Amiṇi's duplicate could not replicate the essence of the Phantasm Heart's rule of nullification, all other abilities were perfectly mirrored—resisting the allure of passion was no great feat. Sektya was instantly pierced through by the golden shaft. She gasped softly, her gaze soft and inviting, her cheeks flushed, gazing tenderly at Amiṇi. "Oh, Amiṇi, my beloved," she rushed forward and embraced him in her arms, "There is nothing in the world that can ever separate us. Even if the island of Paphos sinks beneath the waves, my love for you "Oh, my beloved, Aminin." Cyrena rushed over, colliding into his arms with a sudden surge of energy: "My love for you surpasses even that for Kethya." Thus, first, the sacrificial offering now includes Cupid; second, the goddesses fall in love with him, thus avoiding a decisive battle against the Paphos faction. Finally, he unifies the forces of Paphos and engages in a final, decisive battle against the High Priest of the Light God, fully conquering the dungeon. The first phase of the plan has been successfully completed. The duplicate watches the four who are now deeply in love, expressing disdain, "Now isn't the time for all this sentimentality! For heaven's sake, isn't this item's effect that strong? It even overpowers you? If we carry it out of the dungeon, we'll end up falling in love with one woman after another—eventually, every beautiful woman in the world will become part of our harem. And our little romantic souls are nearly weeping." Heraxini stands by, visibly moved, her eyes still filled with bewilderment and unfamiliarity. On one hand, her beloved is Ammini, a just and passionate figure, not a divine being who slaughters Cupid like a lamb. On the other hand, regardless of how unfamiliar she may feel, her beloved has been taken away by the three goddesses. "Oh, my dearest Hesychia, you too can embrace him—he is me, and I am him," Zhang Yuanqing said with deep feeling. The duplicate not struck by the golden arrow remained unmoved, "Don't come near. Right now, I am the clear-headed Yuan-Shi Tianzun; he is the romantic Yuan-Shi Tianzun. But whether clear-headed or in love, we must still figure out how to handle that bird-man." The duplicate sighed, unwilling to look at the horse-ified original, and drifted on the wind, facing Eriega across the expanse. Eriega's gaze sharpened, summoning vast swaths of wind blades that encircled and locked onto Amini's duplicate. "Don't worry—we're not enemies," the duplicate smiled. The double said, "Cupid used a golden arrow to make me fall in love with Hesychne, thus breaking the sacred bond. After he violated the sacred rules and brought the threat of the god of light upon the island of Paphos, he took personal revenge, repeatedly assigning me impossible tasks. Now, he has died under unfortunate circumstances—entirely deserved. Though you are not on the island, you may ask Menia, the goddess of justice, who never lies." Eriaga couldn't help but glance at Cupid's body. In fact, he had no need to verify—his trust in Amini was well-founded, and this was precisely what Cupid would have done. The double continued, "Now that Cupid is gone, I have no grievances with any of you. After all, I am his child, raised from childhood on the island of Paphos. If you can set aside your past differences, we might well unite to confront the High Priest of the god of light." Seeing Eriaga remain silent, the double smiled slightly. "Do you wish to avenge Cupid? That seems unlikely—Cupid and Sektyia, as well as Menia, are siblings by the same parents, yet your Eriya's face twitched slightly. The duplicate continued, "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't waste so many words. Of course, with your speed, killing you is no easy task—but at the very least, I can drive you out of the island of Paphos. Don't forget, your sister and your younger sister are already my lovers. By coming here to negotiate with you, I'm showing you my greatest sincerity. You can decide now: whether to stay and help protect Paphos, or to leave. And don't forget—Mother is still here. She will surely return with reinforcements." Eriya's expression shifted, and after a few seconds of thought, said, "You must swear a solemn vow not to attack me or harm me, in the presence of Menia." The duplicate smiled, "No problem—but you shouldn't sign a pact with me. You should sign it with the original." He quietly released his control over Eriya's emotions, no longer guiding him toward compromise or submission, since his purpose had already been achieved. The duplicate looked down at the original, "Are you finally okay?" Zhang Yuanqing gave an OK gesture. The duplicate immediately descended and handed the main body the small wooden bow and two golden arrows, "Take a look at the item attributes." Since the duplicate and the main body share a single soul, under normal conditions, the main body can experience the same sensory perception as the duplicate. However, the effect of the golden arrows disrupted their synchronization—now the main body is completely immersed in a romantic mindset. As a result, Zhang Yuanqing hasn't yet learned about the items' details. He accepted the small wooden bow and the golden and lead arrows, and after a few seconds, the item information appeared: 【Name: Bow of the Little Cupid】 【Type: Weapon】 【Function: Passion】 【Description: Crafted by Aphrodite for her son Cupid, the god of love.】 【Note 1: Cupid's lifelong longing to grow and his difficult personality have been infused into this bow and these arrows.】 【Note 2: This is one of the components of the Bow of the Little Cupid set; the other two components are the Arrow of Desire and the Arrow of Resistance.】 【Note 3: It must remain within the spiritual realm.】 … … [Name: Arrow of Desire] [Type: Weapon] [Function: Desire] [Description: The arrow crafted by the goddess Aphrodite for her son Cupid. Once launched, it cannot be defended against or stopped; it continues relentlessly until it strikes its target. Those struck by the arrow will experience eternal love and intense longing.] [Note 1: It is one of the components of the Cupid's Bow Set, the other two pieces being: Cupid's Bow and Arrow of Resistance.] [Note 2: It cannot be taken out of the Spiritual Realm.] … … [Name: Arrow of Resistance] [Type: Weapon] [Function: Resistance] [Description: The arrow crafted by the goddess Aphrodite for her son Cupid. Once launched, it cannot be defended against or stopped; it continues relentlessly until it strikes its target. The target struck by the arrow will forever lose the ability to love anyone.] 】 【Note 1: It is one of the components of the Cupid's Bow set; the other two pieces are: Cupid's Bow and Arrow of Desire.】 【Note 2: It must not be carried out of the Spirit Realm.】 ……Zhang Yuanqing studied the item details. Even though this item was nicknamed the "Divine Prophecy of the Item," right now his mind was filled with just two words: amazing!! Set + Rule-based! For the first time, he had encountered an item that was both a set and rule-based. No wonder it was crafted personally by a half-god. The function of the Cupid's Bow is simple: gold arrows symbolize desire, while lead arrows symbolize resistance. However, once it becomes a rule, its nature transforms. He can make all living beings endowed with emotions fall deeply in love with him. Imagine, when your enemies and rivals are irresistibly drawn to you. You will be unstoppable, secure in victory, and able to manipulate and retaliate against them through love. The arrow of resistance works in the same way—it specifically counters couples who are always showing off their affection. And the cost of the props is merely a gradual distortion of character—becoming increasingly harsh, ill-tempered, resentful, and petty. Of course, there's an implicit cost as well: the golden arrow symbolizes desire, embodying both eternal love and intense passion. It works well when manipulating women; but with men, it's only a matter of dueling to determine the victor—losing means nothing more than a lingering injury, a few drops of clear tears drying up. What if the entity being manipulated is non-human? Therefore, it must be used with caution. Unfortunately, it cannot be carried out of the dungeon, and its fate at结算—whether it will be rewarded as a bonus item—remains uncertain, especially since it's a S-tier dungeon. Zhang Yuanqing folds the "Little Cupid's Bow," then, under Meneia's witness, takes a solemn oath of mutual non-aggression with Eriphylus, successfully bringing this high-ranking sovereign into their fold. Finally, gazing at the goddesses whom he longed to know deeply and intimately, he spoke solemnly: "Ah, dear goddesses, love is eternal and enduring—yet compared to love, the safety of the island of Paphos holds greater urgency. Please take me to the basement to awaken the sacred relic. But before that, I must ask you: what exactly is the sacred relic in the basement?"
