Chapter 1669 – 1669. God’S Atlantis
I ascended to the third floor of the Moon Palace.
Unlike the first and second floors, which had rooms lined up along a corridor, this floor was a maze. Opening the sliding door directly in front led to another room. Each room was about ten pyeong in size and square-shaped.
‘The interior space is completely different from the structure visible from the building’s exterior.’
What that meant was simple. The interior space of the Moon Palace was distorted.
It wasn’t particularly surprising, as playing with space was common in Atlantis.
‘A maze is fine.’
I nudged the back of the pure white rabbit, Okto, who was sitting on the floor, with my toe.
“Huh? Huh?”
“Can you find the way?”
“Ah, well….”
Okto stood up like a meerkat. He supported himself on his dainty two feet, looking around.
“I do feel something. It seems like there’s an exit on the right… Ah. Suddenly it’s changed to the left!”
“Are you messing with me?”
“I don’t mess around with finding paths! Have I ever messed around with finding paths before?!”
Okto shouted.
Come to think of it, Okto had always been sincere about guiding the way. He had never failed. It didn’t make sense for him to fail here now.
‘I need to change my thinking. It seems finding the path in this maze isn’t easy, but he can sense the direction of the exit. The problem is that the direction of the exit isn’t accurate….’
It was one of two things. Either Okto was mistaken, or the exit was moving. I decided to lean towards the latter. Okto had never been wrong about finding paths before.
“Which way should we go?”
“Well….”
Okto tilted his head, unable to get his bearings.
“Tell me where the exit is.”
“It’s on the left!”
Unfortunately, there was no door on the left. I opened the door directly in front of me and moved forward.
“Krrr….”
In that room was a black-furred wolf. The wolf with crazed red eyes drooled as it slowly walked towards me. As it walked, the wolf began to stand upright like a human.
A werewolf.
“Heeeeeek!”
Okto screamed and clung tightly behind me. I calmly observed the werewolf. Even though it was drooling, it didn’t feel like a starving animal at all. All I felt was madness.
‘Did it go crazy from rabies?’
I harbored murderous intent. Intangible killing intent poured out towards the werewolf. Usually, they would hesitate at this. Especially beasts that are faithful to their instincts often feel the killing intent and run away. But the werewolf in front of me didn’t run. Instead, it seemed more stimulated, bent its knees, and leaped.

I extended my fist towards the werewolf’s head. The werewolf’s shattered teeth fell to the floor. The Heavenly Demon energy that shot out from my fist pierced through the werewolf’s head in an instant and attacked the ceiling. However, the Heavenly Demon energy couldn’t pierce the ceiling. The ceiling rippled like the surface of a lake and absorbed the attack.
Thud.
The werewolf’s corpse fell to the floor. I didn’t even glance at the corpse and continued to stare at the ceiling. The ceiling rippled, and something began to appear.
A round moon. A moon that shone softly, looking even beautiful.
『Look at the moon.』
A notification window popped up.
“……”
I narrowed my eyes and examined the notification window. Usually, the system would display a notification window to inform me of something. It was rare to see it blatantly ordering me like this. No, it was practically unheard of. And if you looked closely, it was different from the notification windows I knew.
『Look at the moon.』
A new notification window appeared. I raised my head and looked at the moon on the ceiling. The moon was shaking. It was like a moon reflected in the shaking water.
『Look at the moon.』
“I looked at the moon, okay?”
My voice was filled with annoyance. Even though I looked at the moon, nothing happened.
“Huuu… Huuu….”
The reaction came from Okto. He staggered, drooling, and stared intently at the moon on the ceiling. Okto’s black pupils slowly turned red. Madness was rising.
I grabbed Okto’s long ear tightly with my left hand.
“Aren’t you going to snap out of it?”
“Huuu… Huuu….”
I swung my fist at Okto’s head.
Thwack! Thud! Thwack!
I started hitting him in a rhythmic pattern.
“Snap out of it!”
Thwack! Thud! Thwack!
What should I say? It had a chewy texture, so it felt quite good to hit.
Thwack! Thud! Thwack!
“I, I’ve snapped out of it! Stop hitting me! Aaaah! Stop!”
Okto said, spitting out blood from his small mouth. His white fur was stained with blood. Conversely, his pupils had returned to black. The rising madness was gone.
Looking at the ceiling, the moon was nowhere to be seen.
“You would have gone crazy if it weren’t for me just now.”
“Yes. Th, thank you. My mind was getting hazy. It felt like I was losing myself…. I don’t want to experience that again.”
Okto trembled.
‘The cause of the madness is definitely in the moon that appeared on the ceiling.’
You go crazy when you look at the moon. I think I’ve heard that saying in the West.
I continued to open doors and move forward. When a fork in the road appeared, I asked Okto.
“Which way is it?”
“It’s on the left!”
A room filled with moons on all sides appeared.
『Look at the moon.』
『Look at the moon.』
『Look at the moon.』
“Huuu….”
Okto was about to go crazy again. When I raised my fist, Okto hiccuped and squeezed his eyes shut. He decided not to look at the moon at all. It was effective.
Unlike Okto, I wasn’t affected by the moon. I calmly passed through the room filled with moons.
In the next room, there was a delicious smell.
A table was set with food and drinks that made my mouth water just by looking at them. Four celestial maidens dressed in courtesan attire were sitting in front of the table. They smiled seductively and beckoned to me.
“Welcome.”
“You must be very tired?”
“Rest here. All the drinks and food here are for you.”
“We will comfort you.”
The white cleavage and thighs were blatantly exposed. It was an easy seduction that even a child could understand.
“M, Master! There must be poison in that food!”
I thought so too, without being told. Considering the personality of the owner of the Moon Palace, Hang Ah, the drinks and food were 100% poisoned.
I strode towards them. I grabbed the table and threw it away. The food and drinks on the table shattered with a crash.
The surprised expressions of the celestial maidens were a sight to behold. When I smirked, their eyes twitched.
“Open your legs, you bitches.”
• • •
The third and fourth floors of the Moon Palace had a total of four patterns.
Moon, monster, celestial maiden, and trap.
None of these were a threat to me now. Thanks to my Absolute Mind, I didn’t go crazy even when I looked at the moon. Most of the monsters were finished with one blow. Celestial maidens? As long as I was careful of assassinations, they weren’t difficult to deal with. And if I concentrated, it wasn’t hard to avoid the traps.
‘It was a bit annoying to find the exit on the third floor. I never thought the exit would be a moving door.’
If it weren’t for Okto, I would have been considerably delayed.
And now, I was at the end of the fourth floor. Fortunately, the exit wasn’t moving like on the third floor.
“Master. That’s probably the last room.”
It had taken five days to get from the third floor to here. Hang Ah would definitely be on the fifth floor, so I was starting to get excited.
“It does seem like the last one.”
Creak.
I opened the door.
The first thing I felt was the subtle scent of bamboo. And then I saw the bamboo that filled the room. Moonlight poured down from the ceiling, illuminating the bamboo, so it wasn’t dark.
‘It’s several times larger than the other rooms. Considering I can even feel a cool breeze, it feels like I’m outside.’
There was a path between the bamboo. Naturally, I walked forward, and Okto stuck close behind me.
“Master. Doesn’t it feel a bit eerie?”
“It must be the wind.”
“No, no. There’s something. There’s something…!”
As if to confirm Okto’s words, a strong gust of wind blew at the perfect moment. The bamboo swayed in the wind. The bamboo collided with each other, creating noise.
“Heeek!”
“Don’t stick so close. It’s annoying.”
“S, sorry!”
I reached the end.
There was a woman who had become one with the giant bamboo. The woman with fair skin and long black hair had a lower body made of bamboo. It looked like her lower body had been cut off and her upper body had been attached to a large bamboo. Her breasts were moderately large and shapely. Her pink areolas and nipples were eye-catching.
“She doesn’t have a pussy.”
A comment filled with disappointment popped out. She was a perfect beauty in every way except for her lower body.
“As you can see, I don’t have a lower body. If you like bamboo, you can stick it in me.”
「The Bamboo Princess (Fake) laughs.」
She giggled.
My expression hardened. A bad memory came to mind. The time I stuck it in a tree was because of an unavoidable situation. I didn’t have a hobby of sticking my dick in trees.
“Kaguya Princess, huh? How did you end up like that?”
“I committed a sin against Hang Ah.”
“What sin?”
“I got caught badmouthing her. I mean, she abandoned her husband and went up to the moon to live alone, right? How could I not badmouth her?”
“From what I see, you’re not normal either. Didn’t you know that she had the Moon Mirror?”
“I knew. I just didn’t know she was always monitoring the celestial maidens with the Moon Mirror.”
Even while talking to Princess Kaguya, I looked around. I was trying to find the door to the fifth floor. But there was no door anywhere.
“Are you looking for the door? If you kill me, you can go up to the fifth floor. To be precise, there’s a door to the fifth floor inside me.”
“You don’t think I can’t kill you, do you?”
“Then I’d be in trouble. I want to die.”
“Why?”
“Look at me. Who would want to live like this?”
“That’s true. Do you have any last words? Since you’re a beauty, I’ll listen to your last words.”
“Hang Ah. I hope that bitch meets a miserable end.”
“No. That bitch is going to be my sex toy.”
Princess Kaguya’s eyes curved like a crescent moon.
“That’s good. I’m happy just imagining it. I hope you achieve your goal.”
I clenched my fist.
Woo-oong.
The Heavenly Demon energy gathered in my fist, making it tremble.
“Be careful of that bitch. She’s preparing something to kill you. I don’t know what it is… but I even felt madness from her, so it’s not going to be ordinary.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
