Chapter 433 433-Chaotic Void
Dave was delighted to receive the rewards, and he was intrigued by the unique feature of the stick he had obtained.
It had the ability to make his enemies lose consciousness temporarily when struck.
Despite having the Sin of Sloth to put his enemies to sleep, Dave found it rather satisfying to imagine hitting them with the stick, which would undoubtedly bring them a sense of shame.
As Dave pondered the stick\'s capabilities, a portal to the final level suddenly materialized before him.
Swoosh!
After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to embark on the ultimate stage.
<Welcome, master, to the final stage>
<Mission: ???>
<Reward: ???>
In an instant, Dave found himself in a lush, verdant forest.
The trees were towering, ancient giants, reaching heights of 300 meters and more, making Dave appear insignificant in comparison.
These colossal trees appeared to be sentient, and a majestic tree that seemed to touch the sky stood at the heart of this world, rendering the other trees mere saplings in comparison.
As Dave marveled at this awe-inspiring place, numerous vines suddenly attacked him, attempting to strangle him.
Boom!
Swoosh!
The vines were thwarted by a ring of golden fire that materialized in front of him.
The flames easily incinerated the vines, but they showed no signs of relenting, as if driven by a relentless desire to end his life.
"Oh, where is the boss hiding?"
Dave muttered, scanning his surroundings.
With his newly evolved God Eyes, he spotted a figure above—a beautiful woman with green hair. She seemed oddly familiar, almost like an adult version of Francia.
Boom!
The vines ceased their attack as if acknowledging her presence, parting to create a path for her. Dave kept his gaze fixed on her, and the woman returned the scrutiny.
"You are finally here," an ethereal voice resounded in Dave\'s ears, emanating an overwhelming sense of threat.
Dave couldn\'t discern the woman\'s status, a clear indication that her cultivation far surpassed anyone he had encountered on his journey thus far.
"Who are you? You\'re unlike the other tower bosses,"
Dave inquired, sensing that the woman didn\'t seem intent on engaging in combat.
The woman regarded him with an emotionless gaze and replied, "You\'re correct. I\'m not confined to this tower like the others you\'ve defeated."
Dave was intrigued and pressed further, "So, are we going to fight?"
Uncertainty filled Dave\'s thoughts because the woman showed no signs of wanting to challenge him.
Shaking her head, the woman explained, "As you can see, I am the older version of the child you named Francia. Even though she emerged from me as a clone, she possesses her own consciousness and is not under my control. I am not imprisoned in this tower; rather, I was entrusted by someone to deliver something to you when you reached this level. There\'s no need for us to fight, as with your current strength, you cannot even touch me. I was merely testing you a while ago, so forgive me for my attacks."
Dave was taken aback but reassured her, saying, "Don\'t worry about it."
The woman maintained her emotionless demeanor and continued, "Very well, let\'s proceed with granting the rewards. Are you ready?"
Dave, feeling a sense of trust in the system and having received no warning from Aby, nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Dave felt as if he had been transported to a different realm. He seemed to float in the void, and his body was torn apart in an instant.
"What?"
Dave exclaimed as he opened his eyes, realizing that he had been revived, but his body was being torn apart every second.
"What is this place?"
Dave cried out in stunned agony as he felt his body being torn apart in the chaotic void.
"Relax, Host," a voice reassured him
"This place is called the Chaotic Void. It\'s one of your rewards meant to strengthen your body and immerse you in chaos energy. It will also fortify your willpower. There is a final reward waiting for you after you survive here for thousands of years."
The woman appeared before him, seemingly immune to the void, and by her side was Aby, who recognized her.
"Thousand years? How can I wait for a thousand years and endure being torn apart every day?"
Dave questioned in desperation.
Aby, understanding his concern, comforted him, "Don\'t worry, shameless host. Time here doesn\'t move. Even if you spend millions of years here, the time outside remains unchanged."
"Oh?"
Dave sighed in relief, placing his trust in Aby.
He closed his eyes, and the torment continued as his body was torn apart a thousand times, and the seething chaos energy inundated every cell of his being, causing excruciating pain.
Time passed, though Dave lost all sense of its passage.
In the Chaotic Void, he endured an eternal cycle of suffering, where his body was constantly torn apart and then regenerated.
The relentless physical pain was compounded by the emotional turmoil that gnawed at his soul.
Dave\'s screams of agony reverberated through the void, swallowed by the chaotic nothingness. In this realm, natural laws held no sway.
His body, despite the torment, refused to yield to death, subjecting him to unending suffering.
Amidst the chaos, Dave\'s mind fragmented, losing its sharpness and coherence.
Desperation set in as he struggled to find order within the chaos.
With each agonizing moment, Dave realized that survival in the Chaotic Void depended on his soul\'s strength and willpower.
He needed to harness the power within his soul to endure this perpetual torment.
He shifted his focus from his physical body, which continued to be torn apart, to cultivating his soul and fortifying his willpower in this chaotic abyss.
As time passed within the Chaotic Void, Dave\'s situation gradually improved.
He no longer screamed in agony when his body was torn apart, appearing almost emotionless, like a machine enduring the relentless torment.
His soul shone brilliantly, and his mind sharpened, becoming impervious to the excruciating pain. He realized the extraordinary nature of his soul, which had the power to affect his body\'s resilience and was adapting to the void.
Previously, his body had been destroyed every second, but now it could withstand the onslaught for ten seconds before breaking down.
