'Entered the highest secret zone—"Giant Restricted Zone"' Note: This area was formed from the corpse of the divine species Ymir, the progenitor of humankind. Any giant attempting to approach would rapidly die as Eitr drained from their hearts, Transforming Into part of this area.
Only lifeforms that did not rely on Eitr were qualified to set foot here.
"Ymir, the first giant of mankind? My guess might have been right. When he became a divine species, he must have glimpsed the truth of the world, or been coerced into willingly choosing death. He transformed his corpse into a restricted zone, allowing only outsiders unaffected by Eitr to enter his body and seek the so-called truth.
Still, this esophagus is really long~"
Since they sensed no danger.
Han Dong and the others accelerated through the esophagus, spiraling steadily upward.
"We're here! This is... a stomach?"
It was completely different from an ordinary stomach sac.
At the end of the esophagus lay an internal space several hundred meters long and wide.
It even had upper and lower levels.
The upper level was a ring-shaped viewing platform.
The lower level resembled an arena. The flesh spread across the ground had completely dried out and was quite solid.
This stomach structure had clearly not formed naturally. It was highly likely that Giant Ymir had deliberately remodeled his stomach sac after death, though its purpose remained unknown for now.
Just as Han Dong and the others stepped inside.
An ancient voice preserved here resounded through the friction of memories within the flesh.
"Powerful outsiders,
I am pleased that you were able to reach my stomach palace without relying on the 'venom.'
This proves that you can pursue the truth of the world through your own strength.
Bound by the venom Eitr,
no matter
