Chapter 366: The Beginning of the Hundredth Layer
Several days had passed since both parties of Absolute Helix had cleared the ninety-ninth layer. Now, at last, they stood before the Black Gate, the threshold leading into the hundredth layer. As anyone could have predicted, the yet-unseen layer of God’s Dungeon had drawn immense attention. In response to requests from nobles and the city’s Security Team, Absolute Helix had agreed to a scheduled entry time.
Thus, the assault was set for two days later, in the early evening. It was also announced that Korinna’s party would take point as the vanguard unit. The decision sparked a mixture of praise and skepticism from Explorers and Dungeon Maniacs alike, yet few dared to claim Korinna lacked the strength to deserve the honor.
"The hundredth layer, huh… So this is really it. God’s Dungeon, fully conquered."
"Which means the rest of us are about to be obsolete."
"Well, that’s when I finally make you take over the family business."
"Ugh, anything but that…"
A young Dungeon Maniac wrinkled his nose at the remark, made by his master and father, a craftsman who made ornate furnishings and decorations commissioned by sponsors eager to adorn Explorers with glory. If the Dungeon truly ended at the hundredth layer, such extravagant commissions would slow to a trickle, and the steady stream of new intel for Dungeon Maniacs would dry up. The business, and the culture around it, would wither.
"C’mon, I bet there are more layers after that. Right?"
"Right!"
