Chapter 847: Chapter 417: The Seven Deadly Sins of the Demon God

Mu You let out a breath and calmed his excited heart before continuing on his journey.

Indeed, the levels from ninety-one to ninety-nine were difficult, but compared to facing the boss, they were not as perilous.

In some of the most challenging levels, Mu You relied on the Pocket Watch to forcefully change his fate and nervously made his way through.

Half an hour later, Mu You finally completed the last step of the 99th level, and a notification indicating the stairs to the hundredth level appeared before him.

[You step on the long-abandoned, dusty stairs and ascend to the 100th floor.]

[Congratulations, you have reached the final floor of the Brave’s Tower! You automatically receive ’Resurrection Stone’*1 (this reward will not be reclaimed by the Brave’s Tower.)]

[You are the first to reach the top of the tower, automatically receiving 50 Divinity Points, ’God’s Might’ *1, ’God’s Defense’*1, and ’True Life’*1.]

[The Fairy Princess appears before you, looking at you with both relief and regret: "Brave one, you have finally passed through numerous obstacles and arrived before the Demon King. However, as you are new to this, you are likely no match for the Demon King..."]

[The Fairy Princess bestows upon you a special blessing ’Try Again’: Each time you fail to defeat the Demon King, your next entry to the tower will automatically increase your God’s Might and God’s Defense by +1 (this blessing will not be reclaimed by the Brave’s Tower, and is effective only within the tower)]

"Oh?"

Mu You was slightly stunned.

Upon reaching the hundredth floor, he was bombarded with new notifications, the most striking of which was the blessing from the Fairy Princess.

Try again... Did she already assume that he would fail against the Demon King?

Mu You’s expression turned odd, momentarily ignoring this as he looked at the previous notifications.

One was the usual reward for every ten levels, but this time he wasn’t asked to choose two; instead, four rewards were directly all given to him.

Additionally, upon reaching the top of the tower, he also received an item called ’Resurrection Stone’.

Mu You looked at its effect.

[Resurrection Stone: When you die in the Real World outside the tower, this item exempts you from a death penalty once and allows you to resurrect immediately at the nearest "Soul Depository." After resurrection, the Resurrection Stone will shatter and re-form after a week.]

[Soul Depository: To survive in the harsh Real World, the Fool’s Ancestors created various special landmarks in the Real World. By storing souls within them, after dying in the Real World, the soul can return to the depository. Repairing the soul consumes Divinity Points and allows the soul to reconstitute after a day. Every repair weakens your soul, making you weaker. Possession of the Resurrection Stone prevents this loss.]

"The Real World... outside the tower?"

Mu You first noted this description.

Did this mean that if he could get out of the tower, he would reach the so-called ’Real World’?

Mu You furrowed his brow; he wasn’t sure if there really was something beyond the top of the tower, but since everyone received this stone upon reaching the 100th floor as a regular reward, this suggested that the tower was designed for players to simulate repeatedly and reach higher levels.

It seemed more and more to him that the tower was akin to a ’training tutorial’.

And the entire Brave’s Village could also be seen as the ’Newbie Village’ before players stepped into the Real World. Only by completing the tutorial and stepping out of the Newbie Village would one truly begin the game.

Mu You exhaled deeply, deciding to contemplate this later.

For now, he thought it best to meet this legendary Demon King and see just how formidable it was.

[You continue forward, coming to the central area at the top of the tower.]

[A tremendous roar suddenly erupts beside you, causing your soul to tremble and instill fear, an indescribable oppressive force envelops you.]

[As you struggle with your fear and look up, you see a huge humanoid creature with curved horns on its head and a cluster of pitch-black wings on its back stepping out of the shadows ahead, each step causing the ground to tremble.]

[The Demon King of the Seven Sins (13 stars) bars your way. As the guardian at the top of the tower, it is the ultimate goal for all brave souls who fought valiantly before you!]

[The Demon King looks down at you proudly. You choose...]

Three options [Face the Demon King], [Bow down to the Demon King like an ant], [Seeing danger, turn and run].

Mu You was slightly surprised by the text; it seemed he could finally see the battle process against this ultimate boss.

"Face the Demon King." Mu You clicked.

[You choose to look the Demon King in the eye, facing him directly.]

[You have committed the Sin of Arrogance! Your flesh disintegrates and your life quickly drains away, ultimately turning to ash and disappearing.]

[You are dead.]

???

Mu You was perplexed.

What was that, a mere glance and he was dead without even beginning to fight?

And ’Sin of Arrogance’ – even looking counts as arrogance?

Mu You’s expression was peculiar as he quickly pressed on the Pocket Watch to restart.

[Seeing the danger, you decide to turn and run.]

[You have committed the Sin of Sloth! All your attributes rapidly decline, causing your actions to become increasingly sluggish, soon like sinking in a mire.]

[The Demon King easily catches up to you, and you are killed by a single slap from the Demon King.]

[You are dead.]

...

"Tsk, rewind."

Looking won’t do, running won’t do, really only left with bowing down?

[You choose to bow down to the Demon King like an ant, avoiding eye contact with the Demon King.]

[The Demon King, seeing you adorned with Divine Artifacts, greed arises within it.]
