Chapter 891 The Underworld
Li Yi’s equipment was quite OP. His Hall of Fame Set would prevail even after the release of the Pantheon Mystery expansion pack. In addition, the Thunder God’s Protection had seen a sharp increase in his SPD and ATK. The Tower of Remorse seemed almost too easy to conquer.
After using the Thunder God Summoning Scroll, Li Yi successfully passed the 90th floor and arrived at the 91st floor.
On the other hand, The Mountain and Milky Way Star remained stuck.
As for Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, she had already returned to the Continent to seek ways of solving her conundrum.
“Kekkekkekke… I have not seen any living person approach in many years. It is a great honor to see you.”
The 91st floor was not any of the previous stages, but the real and actual Tower of Remorse. In the middle of the narrow space stood a humanoid mummy wrapped in ragged bandages.
From the 91st floor to the 100th floor, players would not encounter any of the previous scenery stages, but would randomly encounter various bosses of the Tower.
The mummy in front was the Immortal Pharaoh. Its appearance might strike someone as paltry so much so that one might mistake it as a mere minion. In fact, it was a force to be reckoned with, impossible to kill without sufficient strength.
Immortal Pharaoh was orange-named, belonging to the array of legendary monsters. It had great intelligence that it could converse with a player, but limited by the program, it was unable to move freely around the world unlike Aersith (because of her hidden identity as a mercenary). It could only stay within the confines of the Tower, halting players from advancing.
Hearing the Pharaoh’s words, Li Yi was quite relieved.
It mentioned that no one had been here for many years, which signified that he was the first to reach the 91st floor.
To think that a large number of Ascension Quests was released, but the player who was the fastest to arrive here was him and only him.
The thought of this elevated his mood.
It was his luck to receive an Ascension Quest, but to reach where he currently was no sheer luck.
“Human, do you know the true meaning of the Tower of Remorse?”
The Immortal Pharaoh did not directly attack Li Yi, but he was very interested in talking to him.
This was normal. As long as the player did not approach the entrance to the 92nd floor, any player could engage in a conversation with the Pharaoh. From it, one could know the meaning behind the Tower’s existence.
“The Tower of Remorse was built by my lord, the God of Death. At its peak, the 100th floor, you can also see my lord. There are traps at every corner, countless undead beyond calculation, and therein lies untold treasures rivaling the undisclosed wealth of Monte Cristo…”
“This is my lord’s game. Those who conquer the Tower will receive generous rewards, and for those who fail, the God of Death will take away his soul. Its purpose, well, is to repair the Underworld.”
Among the deities in the King of Pantheon, there were two gods who were rather distinct. One was the Evil God who was exiled to the boundaries of space and time, and the other was the God of Death from the Tower of Remorse.
These two were outsiders to Mount Pantheon, in fact, they were saboteurs and stood against the gods.
In the Ancient God Wars, the Evil God and the God of Death failed in their campaign against the Ruler of God, and the gods who supported them, inter alia the Hunter Goddess and the Ancient Thunder God, also fell in battle.
The Evil God was arrogant, most of her skills involved harming others for her own gains. The same could be said of the God of Death, whose Divine Spells were Machiavellian.
Collecting souls to repair the Gates of Hell destroyed by the Ruler of God was the true purpose behind the existence of the Tower.
In the lore, the relationship between the Evil God and the God of Death was cordial and affectionate. In terms of strength, the Evil God was stronger, but the God of Death owned hundreds of millions of Immortal Soul Soldiers in the Underworld. In the event of an unlikely battle between them, the God of Death would triumph.
This was because the infinite Immortal Soul Soldiers of the Underworld were too much a pain in the neck. This was why the Ruler of God applied Divine Power to forcibly demolish the Gates of Hell so that the God of Death was unable to summon their lackeys.
The God of Death desired vengeance. In order to be able to summon the Soul Soldiers again, the Tower was raised with Divine Power in order to rebuild the Gates of Hell.
“The Underworld is my home. Unfortunately, the Ruler of God has destroyed the Gates of Hell. We can no longer return.”
The Immortal Pharaoh went on and on. Li Yi was not an enemy, but a person to talk to.
Li Yi summoned Dolly and walked slowly toward the entrance to the 92nd floor.
“Halt! You shall go no further, for the sake of my lord’s wishes.”
The Immortal Pharaoh shook and was instantly relocated at the entrance of the 92nd floor, blocking Li Yi’s advances.
“Squeak!”
“Bam! Bam!”
Dolly fired two arrows at the Pharaoh.
Dolly had risen to level 200 after a period of training, but she did not learn any new skills. It was always those two skills after so long.
“Bam! Bam!”
The arrows hit right at the Immortal Pharaoh’s face, dealing only two -1 damage.
The Immortal Pharaoh was one of the strongest Soul Soldiers under the God of Death. Having the ability to stand against the gods, its strength was naturally not bad.
The Pharaoh’s hands stretched out toward Dolly, slowly clasping together.
Dolly looked like she was in agony, albeit the hands were still seven or eight meters away. It was as if squeezed by a force, her body slowly flattens until she fell to the ground as an egg.
The Immortal Pharaoh somewhat mastered the power of space. It not only knew teleportation but also how to flatten its opponent through pressure.
Li Yi also launched an attack. He did not use any of his powerful technique but fire Meteor Arrows at a regular rate.

-1
Regardless of whether the strike was critical or crippling, the damage value floating across the Pharaoh’s head was always only -1.
Li Yi’s ATK was not to blame, but in the early phase, the Pharaoh was protected by some Divine Power, so the arrows did not really hurt it.
The real harm could only be dealt with after exhausting its Divine Power.
The Immortal Pharaoh’s arms stretched out toward Li Yi.
“Teleport!”
“Woosh!”
Li Yi teleported behind it before the hands were clasped together, and continued to attack.
“Clink!”
There was a crack in space, a horrifying effect produced by the Pharaoh. If Li Yi did not escape in time, he would die from the first impact.
“Slay!”
The Pharaoh lifted its arms and slammed into Li Yi.
“Clink! Clank!”
The unseen air pressure was on a rampage as the surrounding space continued to rupture. Deep fissures and vents were produced on the ground.
Li Yi relied on teleportation to dodge its attacks. Before the Pharaoh’s Divine Power was drained, the best way was to avoid it!
“Whack!”
An invisible force smashed against Li Yi’s left shoulder, and red characters floated on top of his head.
