My Cell Prison
Chapter 960 - Chapter 960 Chapter 959 The Lower End of the City of Gods

Chapter 960: Chapter 959: The Lower End of the City of Gods Chapter 960: Chapter 959: The Lower End of the City of Gods The thoughts of Gu Xu from the Dragon City Team resonated with those of Han Dong as he considered “Prometheus” his second life. He even set aside the inherent knowledge in his mind to learn the Sun Stele Text in the City of Gods.

Combining his inherent “Buddha Attribute,” he could release a kind of solar energy.

Now, Gu Xu was an undeniable Sun Priest.

The solar energy he released could effectively restrain the Dark Power from the ‘lower end.’

In the backdrop of Ancient Egyptian mythology, “Night” was seen as the endless darkness brought by the underworld serpent, Apophis.

The reason that the night recedes and the sun rises anew each day is that the “Sun God-Ra” defeat this demon snake attempting to devour the world in his divine vessel.

It was because of this.

As the leading company in integrated indices in the Nine Pillar Gods Corporation, the company named Sun was responsible not only for creating living solar bodies and maintaining the day-night cycle of the City of Gods but also for a formidable task… This task also required the assistance of the priest team within the Black Pyramid.

Together they would suppress the darkness emerging from the ‘lower end’ of the City of Gods.

However, the Dark Forces attempting to invade the City of Gods did not stem from the “Orochi-Apophis.”

It came from the origin of the Black Water.

The humans on this planet used the infinite potential of Black Water to modify their bodies, advance technology, create things, and even to devour other civilizations, and thus had to bear the associated risks.

A risk of backlash.

Or to put it another way, the use of Black Water was in itself a sin.

…

The two temporarily allied teams moved through the hidden passages, with the concentration of dark matter increasing with every step they took.

If Gu Xu were to suppress the darkness all by himself, it would inevitably consume a significant amount of energy.

If they encountered truly terrifying dark lifeforms at the lower end, Gu Xu, who possessed the “Power of the Sun,” would be absolutely central to the fight.

“Let me help too.”

Dumps took out a dazzling and unique crystal that was similar to a diamond in material and eye-shaped in appearance.

Dumps embedded the crystal in the palm of his hand.

With the focus of magic energy.

Hum~ The eye-shaped crystal emitted a beam of pure white light, similar to a flashlight, capable of illuminating only in a single direction, but the effect was remarkably good…

In addition to suppressing darkness, it also had a “dispelling” special trait.

Simply aiming the eye-shaped crystal stone into the depths of the passage caused the dark matter within a twenty-meter range ahead to recede.

Feeling the pure light emitted by the crystal stone, even Gu Xu was taken aback, as if recognizing this precious stone from the City of Gods.

“Is this the Horus Crystalstone?

It’s said to be the most valuable raw material in the City of Gods. A complete crystal is incredibly rare… Its price should be over a million, right? And often, it’s priceless.”

“It was a gift, luckily.”

Since Dumps had passed the “God Chosen Examination,” his status as a slave was completely revoked, and he was no longer bound by his former master.

Nevertheless, Dumps promised the sisters of the Women’s Union that as long as he remained in the City of Gods, he would definitely fulfill their massage needs.

Upon bidding farewell to Dumps, more than a dozen powerful women left in tears of reluctance.

Unanimously, the ladies decided to grant Dumps a perfect ‘Horus Crystalstone’ stored in the Women’s Union as a token of their collective sentiment, hoping he would remember them and return for visits.

“A gift?” Gu Xu, as a Sun Priest, knew all too well how precious such a treasure was, not to be given lightly.

“This journey in the City of Gods set by fate can be considered our second life… Each person has his or her own unique experiences, and I’ve been pretty lucky, establishing relationships with quite a few wealthy people from the start.

Since the effect of the ‘Horus Crystalstone’ is so good, I’ll take responsibility for illuminating the deep path.

Captain Gu Xu, you just need to ensure that everyone is not devoured by darkness, conserve as much energy as possible, so we can deal with monsters from the lower end.”

“Hmm.”

…

Five hours.

The two teams passed through the darkness-covered corridors and finally reached the deepest layer.

Blocked by a highly sensitive biometric door, the way was obstructed.

The door must be destroyed while simultaneously severing its neural connections, or it would prematurely alert the higher echelons of the pyramid.

“Xiao Qing, it’s up to you.”

The dark-haired guy from the Dragon City Team stepped forward, inspected the biometric door, and then revealed his special left arm–a “mechanism arm” fused with the pinnacle of Dragon City’s mechanical techniques.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, something shot out from the mechanism arm, followed by several flashes of silver light.

The biometric door in front of them had been completely breached, and its internal neural sensor system was simultaneously destroyed.

Passing through this door,

an underground world the size of the City of Gods unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

1. Countless underground rivers spread throughout, flowing towards different regions of this planet.

2. At the center of the underground world, right beneath the Black Pyramid, was a fully enclosed [Cylindrical Prison] that connected to the Great Tomb Area above.

The prison’s area was equivalent to the Black Pyramid, built with the same black stone, capable of isolating all energies and perceptions.

What was sealed inside should be the answer they were all looking for.

That is, the greatest secret of the City of Gods, the core of the “Prometheus” event–the origin of Black Water.

3. Thousands of fleshy tubes also grew between the walls of the underground world, leading to the prison at the center.

Having worked in the wormholes at the edge of the City of Gods, Han Dong was only too aware of what was being transported through these tubes.

The dismembered limbs or poor-quality foreign slaves that no organization claimed would be sent to the underground area to feed some kind of creature.

The answer was also in the prison.

When everyone cast their gazes toward the Cylindrical Prison, they noticed a group of life forms beyond human conception lurking around its periphery, yet they were dressed in clothing, a type of tattered priestly garb.

“Indeed, getting to know the answer won’t be that simple… It’s said that the underground prison is guarded by a Fallen Great Priest whose strength is second only to the Pharaoh and is the only priest who can move normally in the underground area.

His personal intake of Black Water can be said to be the highest in the City of Gods.

The Fallen Priest Group under his command ensures the security of the entire prison.”

“Is there a way to get in?”

“The [Black Pillar Prison] itself is the supreme secret of the City of Gods, this is also my first encounter with it… Also, as a lifeline region of the City of Gods, there would inevitably be no ‘gaps’ to exploit.

Apart from a frontal assault, there is no second option.

Once we engage in combat with the prison guards, it will mean we are in complete opposition to the Black Pyramid, with no possible escape route… Are you all prepared?”

As Gu Xu finished speaking, there was no change in the expressions of any of the team members.

To acquire the ultimate treasure bestowed by fate without taking any risks was simply impossible.

No hesitation–the action was decided.

A priest lingering on the outer perimeter sensed an anomaly and was just about to turn his head when,

The white-haired youth struck in an instant, his entire body enveloped by a shadow of an ancient wild beast… Abe immediately displayed his most powerful attacking pose, using his claws to tear apart the limbs of the priest.

Just as he was about to bite off the priest’s head,

“Wait… he’s still useful.”

As Abe released his grip, Gu Xu continued.

One hand gripped the priest’s head, entering into a shared sleep with him using a strange Dream Technique, mining for secrets hidden in his brain within the dream.

At that moment,

All personnel involved in the attack on the priest received a notification from the System:

“Faction Reputation Change: Black Pyramid (Friendly – Hostile)

From now on, you will be fully wanted by the Black Pyramid, and all priests associated with it will initiate a lethal attack upon encountering you.

It is detected that the individual is in a high-energy area, unable to exit the World of Fate.

Please proceed to a stable safe zone and wait for 30s before you can leave.”
