Chapter 703 Your scare tactics are too cliché
Over the past few years, Earth has experienced three major bursts of soul energy.
The first occurred when William casually created an AuraField, the second when a Cosmic Entity gathered soul energy from three thousand parallel dimensions to invade Earth, and this latest one was even more outrageous, with the power of over a hundred divine halos transforming into soul energy, causing massive mutations in Earth’s life forms.
According to some scientists from the past, soul energy is similar to oxygen,when there is a high concentration of oxygen, animals and plants tend to grow larger.
But in reality, soul energy is a type of energy particle.
The Age of Gods saw the birth of many powerful creatures because of the abundance of soul energy at that time.
Now, the concentration of soul energy on Earth is at least a hundred times higher than during the Age of Gods. It’s just that these bursts of soul energy have been brief, and many powerful creatures have not yet formed.
Faced with such mutations, the order in many of the world’s cities has become unstable. If it weren’t for the global desire for peace following the end of World War II, Earth might have been even more chaotic.
Recently, portals to other spaces have suddenly appeared on Earth. So far, tens of millions of people have entered these portals, but only a few hundred have returned.
According to those who have survived, these portals are filled with deadly threats and powerful monsters.
However, anyone who survives a day inside receives some rewards, and those who last three days can return. Anyone who makes it back alive once usually sees their strength multiply.
Oscar had already come out of the Doors of Terror once. When he heard William say he wanted to enter the Doors of Terror with them, he genuinely laughed!
This young man had never entered the Doors of Terror and had no idea how twisted the monsters inside were.
And he had long wanted to bring his subordinates along with him, just waiting for the right opportunity. Now, even someone as despicable as William, who relies on women for protection, dares to enter the Doors of Terror. Surely, his subordinates, even if timid, couldn’t be worse than William.
“Guys, surely you are not worse than this shameless man who relies on women to protect him!” Oscar laughed heartily, seemingly in good spirits, but in reality, he was still scheming many plans inside.
The rumors about the Doors of Terror were indeed frightening, but with so many people gathered together, and each possessing some skills, Oscar’s words had already started to stir some of them up.
“Let’s go in!As long as we come out as strong as Oscar, that’s all that matters!”
“Exactly! If we stick together, what kind of monsters can’t we handle?”
“Let the monsters of the Doors of Terror tremble!”
…
This group was already envisioning the scene of them emerging victorious from the Doors of Terror!
Seeing this, William smirked slightly, and a dark, ominous portal appeared in front of him.
“I’ll go in first and wait for you guys. Anyone who doesn’t come is a chicken!” William walked towards the portal, not forgetting to turn back and flip the middle finger at the group.
“Holy shit! You’re asking for it!” Someone couldn’t hold back and drew his sword to strike at William, but William had already stepped into the Doors of Terror.
The man’s sword cut through nothing but air.
“Guys, follow me!” Oscar shouted, leading the charge into the Doors of Terror.
His followers, fueled by adrenaline, rushed in after him.
Once inside, William quickly discovered what the so-called Doors of Terror was all about.
It was clearly a fusion of monsters, demons, and spirits from three thousand parallel dimensions, each creating its own separate space.
“Welcome to the Doors of Terror, this is a survival game.”
“If you survive a day in the Doors of Terror, all your physical attributes will be significantly enhanced.”
“If you…”
A sinister and terrifying voice echoed in William’s ears, but it abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
Dolly appeared in front of William, her face adorned with a cute smile, and said, “Mr. Johnson, what are you doing here?”
William chuckled, “Why can’t I be here? Isn’t this game made for me to play?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Dolly replied, “Just don’t break this place.”
William raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, about what was said earlier, that if I survive a day here, my physical attributes will significantly increase—is that true?”
“Don’t joke around…” Dolly was visibly embarrassed,the system voice was something she had set up in advance.
But to say that William could greatly enhance his physical attributes just by surviving here for one day, what kind of joke is that?
“Then you’re no longer needed!” William lifted his hand and pinched Dolly’s cheek, “You can leave now! And no tricks, let me see just how terrifying your so-called Doors of Terror really are.”
Dolly bowed her head and slowly vanished into the darkness.
William was now in a dilapidated building. After Dolly disappeared, rustling sounds came from around him.
Then there were dull footsteps, as if someone was coming upstairs.
William slowly walked to the door and opened it, only to see a woman in a red robe with long hair and an aura of gloom ascending the stairs step by step.
“Sir, do you need any special services?” The woman suddenly appeared in front of William at the shabby staircase, her pale face looming large in front of him.
A spirit!
Well, what ordinary people might call a ghost.
If an ordinary person encountered such a specter, they’d probably be terrified.
But if it were a psychic or a Soulmancer, they’d likely start a fight right away!
William, however, asked indifferently, “What kind of special services? How are the prices calculated?”
“…” The ghost was taken aback by the question, staring at William until her eyeballs fell out onto the floor, leaving hollow, bloody sockets.
William stepped on one of the eyeballs, crushing it, and lifted his foot to stomp on the other: “Is this what you call special service?”
“Who are you?” The ghost, frightened, made a swift move to escape.
William crushed the other eyeball underfoot, fixing his gaze on the ghost as he spoke, “Don’t run just yet. You mentioned special services, and if I’m not satisfied today, you’re not going anywhere.”
“What do you want to do to me? I’m a female ghost! A malevolent spirit!” The ghost was terrified, realizing she had encountered someone she shouldn’t have provoked.
Her eyeballs falling out was meant to scare William, but instead, he crushed them. She was a spirit, and the fact that this man could physically crush her eyeballs meant he was no ordinary human.
His calm demeanor and the look he had given her earlier sent chills down her spine.
William slowly walked over to the bed and said, “Come here!”
“I’m a ghost! What on earth do you want to do?” The ghost was on the verge of a breakdown.
She feared that this man might want to assault her.
Her eyeballs had been crushed, and she was covered in blood, yet he seemed interested, which made her worry about his intentions.
“Come here, give me a back massage. I’ll tell you some things. Clean off that blood; don’t get my clothes dirty.” William, undeterred by the mess, lay down on the bed and continued, “Your scare tactics are too cliché. I’ll teach you some tricks, and you can help me scare a few people…”
