Temptation I

"As long as I can find even the slightest remnant from the test experiments of that year, I will definitely be able to recreate the opening of that passage!"

The Perpetual Palace Master picked up her notebook of records and flipped through the various calculated data and formulas within.

This world was already beyond hope.

But beyond that passage lay freedom from White Pupil's restraints. It represented an infinite future! Crack. Just as she carefully examined the calculations, the electric orb in the room suddenly flickered slightly, emitting a piercing noise.

"What's going on!?" She swiftly raised her head and moved closer, extending a hand. Her palm transformed into a silver metal cone.

The cone pierced into the electric orb, seemingly probing the changes within.

"No! Something has changed!!"

The Perpetual Palace Master quickly walked to the room's exit and pressed a hand against the wall.

A touchscreen immediately appeared. After rapidly entering a string of numbers, the door opened.

Outside lay a vast hall wrapped in flesh and blood.

At the center of the hall was a gigantic heart more than ten meters tall, continuously writhing and beating.

At the heart's base hung more than a dozen densely packed human heads, like clusters of grapes.

"Ah, isn't this our esteemed Lady La?"

"Conducting another strange experiment??"

"Give it up. You'll never find the passage where we came from. This world's final fate is destruction! Hahahaha!!"

"I won't let you obtain the coordinates to open the passage. Give up, just give up!"

The heads were still alive, endlessly letting out mockery, ridicule, and curses.

La, the Perpetual Palace Master, paid no attention to these useless heads.

Over the years, in order to find a stable passage that could remain open for a long time, she had searched everywhere for clues
