"This isn't right! Why is it like this? Why?"
The originally excited and thrilled expression on Indomitable Bear Is Strong's face finally changed. His brows furrowed, and his expression turned uneasy.
Because he had stopped in front of a corridor.
"Hehehe, mortal… have you finally begun to feel fear?"
In the shadows, a dark-green phantom that had been watching Indomitable Bear Is Strong couldn't help but laugh sinisterly.
This dark-green phantom was a strand of consciousness from the Evil God Suruk!
Evil God Suruk was an extremely terrifying existence, possessing billions of wills!
One of those wills manifested as a projection and, with the help of Human Emperor Gu Aotian, descended in advance—becoming the master of this Evil God's Labyrinth!
He was also the creator who personally constructed this Evil God's Labyrinth, a place like an entirely different world!
"This Evil God's Labyrinth has absolute anti-flight restrictions! Spiritual sense cannot be used. All walls are indestructible. One can only proceed along fixed routes. Besides that, there are many other restrictions!"
"No matter how powerful an existence is, once inside this labyrinth, they can only obediently follow the designated path!"
"And the corridor before you… is your grave!"
The projection of the Evil God's will grinned viciously.
Then the projection went completely dumbfounded.
"There must be a pitfall here!"
Indomitable Bear Is Strong leapt into the air and jumped over a section of the corridor floor.
The next moment, the ground behind him split open, revealing a massive pit filled with spike traps.
"Something is definitely going to shoot out from here!"
He bent slightly and advanced a few more meters.
Behind him, more than a dozen poisoned spikes instantly shot past!
"There's definitely going to be a falling spiked boulder or something here!"
He raised his hand and struck the ground in front of him.
"Boom!"
The next moment, a massive spiked stone dropped down from above onto the ground ahead.
Seeing this scene, Indomitable Bear Is Strong got angry. Truly angry.
Because this Evil God's Labyrinth had a problem!
"Why are the trap and mechanism designs so brain-dead?"
"Why isn't there any difficulty at all?"
"What's going on? Where's the so-called Evil God's Labyrinth? With such a domineering name, and this is all you designed? Just this garbage?"
...
Indomitable Bear Is Strong was genuinely unhappy.
He had come here full of excitement to take on a challenge, and instead—
This is it?
"Damn it! There's still poison gas ahead, and lava, and—what the hell is this bastard trying to do?!"
The Evil God's will projection was still grinding its teeth in fury when it suddenly froze in shock.
Indomitable Bear Is Strong casually stripped down until he was wearing only a pair of shorts, and even put away the Ice-Thunder Demon Blade Azzinoth.
Not only that—he also took out an eye patch and put it on, limiting himself to one eye to see the path.
After that—
Poison gas chambers, lava sprays, collapsing ceilings—
Indomitable Bear Is Strong just charged straight through them bare-chested without thinking.
Effortlessly.
He didn't even lose a patch of skin.
"???"
The Evil God's will projection was about to lose its mind!
How could this be happening?!
But what infuriated the Evil God's will projection even more came next.
"Look, here you first design a pitfall. An invader like me would naturally jump to avoid it. Then at the landing spot, you place another pitfall. When the invader tries to jump again, you fire poison arrows! Make it a triple-chain trap—then it would at least have a tiny bit of challenge!"
"And here—such a big room with holes all around. Even a monkey can tell poison gas is coming. What's the point of releasing poison gas here? Instead, you should release venomous snakes! While the invader is dodging, arrange some skeleton soldiers to surround them and block escape routes, then drop the ceiling to finish them off! Wouldn't that be perfect?"
"And this lava—lava that sprays at fixed intervals? How does that kill invaders? You should design it so that if someone stands on a tile for more than two seconds, they sink into the magma! Then inside the magma, have thousands of fireballs firing randomly! And even if they dodge the fireballs, they explode automatically when passing by, blasting the person back into the lava!"
As he advanced, Indomitable Bear Is Strong kept criticizing every single trap design, saying they were so stupid even monkeys could pass them.
"Pfft!"
The Evil God's will projection was nearly blown up from sheer rage.
"Damn it!"
All the traps and mechanisms he had painstakingly designed—not only were they useless against this guy, but he was even being mocked as an idiot designer?
But when the Evil God's will projection carefully thought about Indomitable Bear Is Strong's suggestions…
Holy crap.
They were unbelievably sinister. Incredibly vicious. Shameless to the extreme!
You could design traps like that?!
How would any invader survive that?
Wait—
Damn it, why the hell am I worrying about invaders surviving?!
The Evil God's will projection almost vomited. It truly did—wisps of dark-green smoke puffed out from its face in sheer rage.
"No… maybe it's just this one person. He's a genius! The other invaders can't possibly all be this capable!"
Thinking that, the Evil God's will projection rose into the air, passed through the walls, and went to observe the other intruders.
And then—
"Pfft!"
The Evil God's will projection nearly coughed up blood again.
"Which idiot designed this trap? It's so easy it's pointless!"
"Sigh, I'm doing this in my underwear and it's still boring!"
"The architectural design is pretty good, and the atmosphere is nice. Too bad the traps and mechanisms are brain-dead and completely ruined it! Evil God's Labyrinth? More like Clown Labyrinth!"
...
The Evil God's will projection stood there dumbfounded as the Dark Soul Guild players advanced with ease, each wearing nothing but shorts—basically half-naked—humming songs as they moved forward.
All those traps and mechanisms it had personally designed hadn't killed a single person!
"Hm?"
Soon, Indomitable Bear Is Strong's eyes lit up.
Because at the end of the path, a grand hall finally appeared.
Inside the hall was a gigantic slumbering creature!
A three-headed hound.
Its entire body was covered in dark-green corrupted spikes. Its hundred-meter massive frame and physical strength comparable to the early stage of Sixth-Order Sacred Body made it the guardian of this critical hall!
"Hahahaha! So what if you're good at dealing with traps? This three-headed hound is a powerful descendant of ancient beasts!" The Evil God's will projection laughed viciously.
However—
"One-Second World!"
"Decapitating Slash!"
...
In just a single exchange, the Ice-Thunder Demon Blade Azzinoth flashed twice—
And the three-headed hound was instantly slain!
"Just this? This is the boss? Why is it so trash?" Indomitable Bear Is Strong muttered, almost not believing it himself after the instant kill.
"???"
The Evil God's will projection tilted its head, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
No matter how it calculated, this three-headed hound's overall strength was at least ten times stronger than Indomitable Bear Is Strong!
And yet it got one-shot?
WTF?
"Impossible! How could this be… Even if this person is strong, the others can't possibly—"
The Evil God's will projection hurried to observe the other intruders.
"Whoa, this boss was way too weak! I killed it in one minute!"
"No damage clear. That's it?"
"Sigh, beat it in my shorts. Good thing we didn't call the big shots for backup!"
...
The other Dark Soul Guild players had also effortlessly defeated their respective bosses—each one wearing nothing but shorts, not even bothering with full gear.
The Evil God's will projection was furious! Hearing the Dark Soul Guild players' mockery—calling the designer not just stupid but mentally deficient, saying even a monkey could design better—nearly made it explode with rage!
But soon, it calmed down.
Indomitable Bear Is Strong and the Dark Soul Guild players had only just reached one-sixth of the labyrinth. There were still five entire sections ahead!
"Hehehe… So what if you broke through the first section? The later sections are far more difficult! And with so few invaders, as the guardians grow more numerous and stronger, you simply won't have enough manpower to break through!"
...
The Evil God's will projection chuckled at the thought and waited to see how these intruders would die next.
"???"
However, when it saw what Indomitable Bear Is Strong and the others did next, it was dumbfounded once again.
