My Cell Prison - Chapter 1579: 1577: On the Mountain Top

Chapter 1579: Chapter 1577: On the Mountain Top

Greek Squad

Due to [Bo] uncovering Han Dong and others’ origin from S-01, the squad made different choices, heading to the maze center at the fastest speed.

With Noren’s control over the maze, the team delved deeper without encountering the giants.

The entire journey took less than an hour.

Ultimately, they followed the final straight passageway, completely exiting the maze area, arriving at the “Infinite City Center.”

Here stood a mountain over a kilometer high, reaching the highest point of the gaming area… or rather, it’s the only hundred meter level giant in the Infinite City and the first giant to be born.

When the essence of Eitr descended upon the world, the first object it touched was a rock.

Feeling the arrival of outsiders, the rock layers loosened… Boom! A massive eye, more than ten meters in diameter, slowly opened from within the layers.

Because Demis sensed no hostility, he signaled everyone to lower their guard.

“It has been a long time since an ‘outsider’ has reached this depth without relying on Eitr’s power… Keep climbing, outsiders! The Eitr essence you so desperately seek is at the peak of my being.

Climb to the summit, drink the essence, and you will ascend.”

The Greek Squad also received the final hint regarding the “main storyline.”

As the original giant before them mentioned, they needed only to climb to the peak to find the origin fluid of the Infinite City—Eitr, to clear the game.

However.

What they sought was not this.

Or rather, the teams from various worlds participating in this game were not here to clear it.

Having obtained and consumed the “Fate Treasure Map,”

They belonged to the top echelon of fate travelers.

Their sole purpose was to seize the [Ultimate Treasure] hidden in some corner of the World of Fate.

Just as Demis was about to step forward, intending to inquire about the treasure from the mountain,

The blind [Bo] suddenly stepped forward, blocking his sister.

“Sister, let me talk to it.”

“Be careful.”

[Bo] faced the giant that constantly emitted divine pressure without any fear.

Sliding down from the reindeer’s back, he slowly approached the mountain, placing his hand on the rock surface.

“God’s Descent”

Warm radiance seeped into the rock layers, clearing away centuries of accumulated impurities,

Even causing weeds between the cracks to grow rapidly, blooming into vibrant flowers, rejuvenating the mountain forests with unprecedented vitality.

This feeling of rebirth made the mountain feel extremely comfortable.

‘Thank you, young one… Your body indeed does not contain any Eitr essence.

I can see a color called ‘greed’ in the eyes of your friends, only your blind eyes appear so pure,

Your purpose here seems not only for ascension, but also to seek a certain extremely precious treasure, correct?’

The giant’s voice resonated in Bo’s mind, even before he voiced his request.

‘Indeed, my sister and the others are seeking greater power.

As for myself, if not for Apollo’s training requirement and my sister needing my companionship and assistance,

I would prefer to travel to various worlds, learning the culture and art of different realms, exchanging them with my Olympus artistic knowledge.’

‘Child, you are unlike any ‘outsider’ I have met, glad to encounter a young person like you.

Please come alone through this tunnel into my body, I’d like to talk more deeply with you.

Likewise, I’ll share with you information about the “Giant Forbidden Zone,” where the treasure your friends seek is located.

For travelers like you who have absorbed no Eitr, indeed you can venture inside… but before proceeding further, perhaps I can offer some personal assistance.’

As the conversation ended, a “solitary mission” prompt echoed in Bo’s mind.

Boom~ The mountain before began gradually opening,

Revealing a deep, dark tunnel leading to within the giant’s body.

Only allowing Bo to venture alone,

Anyone else approaching would face deep layer pressure from the rocks, even spawning ten Meter Stone Guardians to attack.

“Good job, go on in! We’ll wait for you outside.”

“Alright.”

Despite Bo’s blindness, he could navigate inside the tunnel without torches or exploration tools, venturing solo.

…

At this moment, the camera slowly pans upwards to the mountain peak.

If Han Dong were here, following the camera’s upward view, he would undoubtedly find this mountain exceedingly familiar.

The overall structure,

Especially the structure above the mountainside,

Is almost identical to the Moon God Mountain that he and the Tomb Lord climbed in “The Tombs.”

Of course, here due to game scene limitations, the height cannot compare with the Moon God Mountain.

Similarly.

A man sits at the peak, fishing among the stars.

It’s Mr. M, in the role of the administrator in the “Ladybug Game,” fishing while attentively observing the detailed situation of the inner city maze area.

“The group currently progressing the fastest should be this squad from [S-06, Olympus].

Promising young individuals, already putting aside worldly desires in their youth, focusing solely on cultural pursuits… might become a [Saint] in the future, or be noticed by a particular colleague.”

Following this, Mr. M shifted his gaze to the maze’s outskirts.

Two teams with distinct style characteristics are reaching the maze area in different ways.

One is crossing the treetop bridge made by “Giant Tree Ryan” and directly arriving at the maze’s middle ring.

The other by boat, navigating the only river in Infinite City, also reaches the maze’s middle ring.

“The other demon squad and the team from [S-10, Takamagahara] all entered the maze through unique methods? If so, the progress should catch up just in time.

Finally, a chance to do something more interesting.”

Eventually.

Mr. M turned his attention deep into the maze.

Focusing on the fierce battle with the “Heavenly Man,” zooming in further to lock onto a young man in the scene.

“Han Dong, you should have noticed that the ‘real difficulty’ of this game is not the game itself… rather it is adaptation and competition.

I hope you all will show me the true strength of the S-01 youth.

Your performance will hopefully make it easier for me to discuss subsequent ‘cooperation matters’ with those guys.”

…

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Han Dong, covered in fresh blood, gasped heavily.

Th𝗶𝑠 ƈhⱥp†𝗲r 𝚒ṡ pՕ𝗌𝐭ℯ𝐝 bყ Ƙ𝗶𝖙є𝕟𝙤𝓋є𝙡

His body, marked with dents from twists and impacts, slowly recovered through the zombie constitution… his entire right arm completely torn from excessive use of the holy sword.

Even so.

Han Dong still dragged his battered body, stepping on layers of fat, heading upwards.

The so-called “Human Emperor” has been defeated.

Due to extreme danger, Green couldn’t extract the intact heart, instead destroyed it within the body.

The hundred meter level corpulent body lay on the floor like a pile of rotten flesh.

Han Dong’s current task was to,

Seize the opportunity while the body is dead but the brain still has five minutes of activity time,

Use tentacles to extract its memory information, obtaining the maze route and the secrets hidden here.

Swish!

Tentacles pierced in.

A mass of fragmented memories flashed by, until a crucial piece of information was read.

“Hmm? Giant Forbidden Zone… only allows individuals unaffected by Eitr to enter? Is it here?”
