MMB Chapter 86 Final Stage
Chapter 86 Final Stage
.....
After leaving the fifteenth door, Lin Yu continued his unstoppable advance.
In the sixteenth door, "Flesh and Blood Factory," he used a time-lapse to figure out the mechanical monsters' patterns of movement and destroyed the core furnace with minimal cost.
The seventeenth door, the "Inverted Tower," allowed Lin Yu to discover the pattern of spatial inversion and use reverse thinking to solve all the mechanisms.
The Eighteenth Door: The Garden of Immortality... The Nineteenth Door: The Casino of Destiny...
When Lin Yu stepped through the twentieth door, he was already the fastest among all the trial participants to reach the final stage.
Unlike the previous nineteen doors, the space behind this door looks unusually normal.
A huge, brightly lit circular hall.
The hall is over 100 meters in diameter and about 30 meters high, with a complex mechanical structure on top, where countless gears slowly turn.
The floor is covered with black and white marble tiles, laid out in a huge checkerboard pattern.
In the center of the hall stand twelve statues of different shapes, each representing one of twelve different concepts:
War, wisdom, death, life, time, space, destiny, chaos, order, nothingness, truth, lies.
There are twenty-four closed doors on the surrounding walls, each with a different symbol engraved on it.
The entire hall was eerily quiet, with only the faint clicking of gears turning.
Lin Yu stood at the entrance and quickly observed the surroundings.
There are no obvious rule prompts.
But this is precisely the most dangerous part; unknown rules often mean the most deadly traps.
Lin Yu did not rush forward; instead, he took three tentative steps forward.
Nothing happened.
He then moved five steps to the left.
Nothing happened.
But as he tried to walk toward the statues in the center of the hall, something unexpected happened!
The war statue closest to him suddenly had its eyes glow red!
Immediately afterwards, the stone sword in the statue's hand slowly rose and pointed at Lin Yu!
A palpable killing intent descended!
Lin Yu immediately stopped and retreated.
When he retreated to a distance of about fifteen meters from the statue, the red light in the statue's eyes went out, and the longsword lowered and returned to stillness.
"Is the safe distance fifteen meters?" Lin Yu noted it down.
He changed direction and tried to approach another statue of wisdom.
This time, the statue did not react at all.
But when Lin Yu got within ten meters of the "Wisdom" statue, countless chaotic fragments of knowledge suddenly flooded his mind!
Mathematical formulas, philosophical paradoxes, historical events... a massive amount of information bombarded his consciousness, almost bursting his brain!
Lin Yu immediately retreated, and the information flow was interrupted.
"The intelligent statue will impart knowledge, and the closer you are, the stronger the information flow will be. If it exceeds the limit, it will cause a mental breakdown," Lin Yu judged.
He continued testing.
The Death Statue – When you get close, you feel your life force slowly draining away.
The life statue – getting close to it accelerates wound healing, but getting too close can cause excessive cell proliferation and mutations.
Time Statue - Approaching it will disrupt your own time flow, either accelerating aging or causing you to regress and become younger.
Spatial statues – when approached, the surrounding space folds and distorts, making it easy to get lost.
...
Each statue represents a domain of rules; approaching it will trigger a corresponding effect.
The twenty-four doors around the hall should be the exits.
But obviously, not every door can be opened safely.
Lin Yu needed to find the right way to pass the level, so he decided to conduct a comprehensive trial first.
Since he has the ability to rewind time, Lin Yu is not afraid to take risks.
Lin Yu began to move boldly around the hall, deliberately approaching different statues to trigger various rule effects.
He allowed himself to be chased by the "War" statue three times to figure out its attack patterns and movement speed limits.
Test your mental endurance by standing in front of the "wisdom" statue and enduring the flow of information.
I deliberately lingered near the "Time" statue, experiencing what it felt like to age to seventy and to regress to ten.
The "Space" statue was triggered, and I was trapped in the folded space for half an hour before I found a way out.
Lin Yu even touched the "Chaos" statue, causing the surrounding physical laws to briefly become disordered, gravity to reverse, and flames to freeze.
Throughout the entire process, Lin Yu acted like the most eccentric scientist.
Using his own body and consciousness as experimental subjects, he collects all the data of this all-encompassing corridor.
All of this was observed by certain "eyes".
Above the hall, on an observation layer that cannot be perceived.
This is a pure white circular room, with walls covered with densely packed light screens displaying images from various angles within the hall.
In the center of the room, a magnificent high-backed chair floats.
A young girl was sitting in the chair.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing an exquisite Gothic dress.
The main color is black, with intricate dark red lace and ribbons decorating the neckline, cuffs, and hem.
Her slender calves, encased in black over-the-knee socks, were visible beneath the hem of her skirt, and she wore a pair of shiny round-toed leather shoes.
The girl had white pigtails tied with ribbons at the ends.
Her skin was fair and delicate, but her lips were painted with a bright dark red lip gloss.
The girl had heterochromia; her left eye was a deep violet, while her right eye was a dazzling gold, and there seemed to be tiny gears slowly turning deep within her pupils.
At this moment, she was crossing her legs, resting her chin on one hand, and casually flipping through a thick book lying open on her lap with the other.
The book's cover is made of the leather of some kind of creature, inlaid with gemstones and metal components, and the title is in ancient script embossed in gold.
Story Club Abyss Trial Observation Log, Section 9.
The girl's gaze fell on one of the screens—it showed Lin Yu frantically probing in the hall.
She watched Lin Yu being chased and desperately dodging by the "War" statue, watched him struggle and clutch his head in front of the "Wisdom" statue, watched him rapidly age and then revert to youth beneath the "Time" statue...
"Tch..." The girl let out an undisguised sneer, a hint of disdain flashing in her violet pupil.
With her fingers painted with red nail polish, she casually flipped through the pages and found Lin Yu's file.
"Lin Yu, from the Jiangcheng undeveloped area... Hmph, a brute."
The girl watched as Lin Yu triggered the "Chaos" statue on the screen once again, causing the gravity of half the hall to reverse, items to fly everywhere, and Lin Yu himself to be thrown into the wall.
"This kind of approach, which relies entirely on brute force and luck, is incredibly lucky to have made it to the last door."
The girl pouted, and the gears in her golden right eye spun faster, revealing obvious impatience:
"I thought this would be some fun... but it's just another brainless muscleman. How boring."
She slammed the book shut, seemingly having lost interest in Lin Yu.
"Fine, I'll just record the death process, consider it data collection." The girl looked back at the screen, preparing to record the death of this "brute."
however--
In the short span of a few dozen seconds that she looked away, the situation in the hall suddenly changed dramatically.
You are dead...
