Chapter 861: Chapter 422: Bone of the Demon God

Dawn City, within the City Lord’s Castle.

A figure in a red robe quietly appeared.

The visitor was Red Sleeve. At this moment, she was wearing a metal mask that covered her entire right half-face and part of the left jaw, because the skin underneath the mask was all hideous, terrifying scars.

The only visible left half-face and eyes were filled with numbness and hollowness, as if she was merely an empty shell without emotion.

"Failed the tower challenge?" A childish voice arose from the front.

Red Sleeve looked up to see a toddler, less than half a meter tall and still in diapers, standing on the steps ahead, with hands behind his back, his little face showing a maturity clearly not matching his age.

"Someone got there first..." Red Sleeve said expressionlessly.

"Hmph, I knew it..."

The child bore an I-told-you-so expression and then sneered coldly, "But, the result is the same. Now, those old fools will have to start activating their faith early..."

As he spoke, the child took a step forward, seemingly intending to walk down the steps.

But when he looked down, he realized the steps were somewhat high...

To avoid an embarrassing face-plant, he had to remain standing in place, maintaining his ’wise man’ pose while pondering aloud, "It’s a pity we didn’t get the ’Bone of the Demon God,’ but it doesn’t matter. After the city takes flight, there will be plenty of valuable Divine Bones..."

"In addition, make preparations, those old fools will definitely activate faith soon. Once faith is activated, make Dawn City take flight immediately!"

"Yes..." Red Sleeve continued to nod numbly.

The old man opened his mouth to say something else but suddenly felt his eyelids start to fight fiercely, his opened mouth yawning as a consequence.

"Tch, a child’s body is such a nuisance..."

The toddler complained, and then his consciousness slipped uncontrollably into a deep slumber.

The next second, the child slumped to the ground, limp.

Following that, a loud ’wah wah’ crying filled the room.

Red Sleeve, who had been numb and mechanical below, finally showed some change on her stiff face when she heard the noise, as emotions of a normal person appeared in her eyes.

"Wah wah wah..."

The child’s cries continued.

Red Sleeve hurriedly ran to the front of the steps and picked up the struggling child from the ground.

"Darling be good, don’t cry..."

Red Sleeve comforted the child in her arms like any ordinary mother,

Four years ago, she had given birth to this child, but under the special conditions of World End, the child’s physical development was much slower than that of normal children. Four years had passed, and both his body and consciousness remained around the state of a one-year-old.

With his mother’s soft comforting, the child was finally soothed from crying to smiling and reached out both hands towards Red Sleeve’s face to touch it.

Red Sleeve watched her child’s innocent and pure smiling face, and the tightly stretched expression on her face finally showed a trace of a smile. However, this hint of a smile quickly faded, turning into a mix of complex emotions such as resentment, helplessness, and pain.

...

In the pet shop, Mu You’s consciousness followed the Karma Lines back after the attempts to trace in the past were unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, this kind of retracing was extremely draining on spiritual power, and this trace was not successful. His consciousness was trapped within the Mind’s Eye Vision and could not be dispersed.

Mu You had no choice but to return to the game.

After killing the Demon King and collecting the rewards, the game’s text didn’t conclude yet.

[You have reached the deepest part of the Hundred-Story Tower.]

[Suddenly, you discover that a phantom door has appeared on the originally sealed wall in front. Opening the door, inside is yet another set of steps!]

[It turns out there is another space above the Hundred-Story Tower. Will you step onto the staircase?]

As expected, it wasn’t just a simple Hundred-Story Tower!

Mu You sighed and without hesitation chose ’Yes’.

[You have left the range of the Tower of the Brave. All the power you acquired in the tower has been recalled!]

[You walk a long staircase and finally step into a mysterious space.]

[Before you is a gloomy and ancient hall, its four walls and ceiling carved with mysterious and profound runes.]

[In the center of the hall stands the remains of a Titan.]

[The Titan is nearly a hundred meters tall, with horns on its head and wings on its back, looking extremely similar to the Demon King you just battled!]

[You explore around the Titan and eventually find a line of small text on the skin of its nape.]

[Number 135: Seven Sins Demon God. Excavator of the God’s Corpse: Hiludi Klara. Time since unearthed: 3106 years 245 days 4 hours 7 minutes 01 seconds.]

The Demon God Corpse!

Mu You’s eyes brightened, the Demon God’s body was indeed hidden here, this trip was finally not in vain.

However, by the explanation, this place seems to no longer belong to the range of the Tower of the Brave.

Mu You continued to read the text below which showed information about the Demon God, like the runes inscribed on the nape of the God of Order. It seems that all the excavated God’s Corpses would have this text engraved on their nape.

However, what surprised Mu You was that the unearthed date shown here was over 3100 years ago, which means the Demon God was only unearthed in this era! And according to his analysis just now, this tower might be the origin of the Fool from the last era, which implies that the original final boss of this tower was definitely not the Demon God, but some other being, and the Demon God was replaced at a later date.
