My Cell Prison Chapter 1261

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: The Core of the Rules Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: The Core of the Rules Time reversed to one hour before.

After a full day of rest, Han Dong returned to peak condition.

“Deep Imitation – Togu Gonzales”
The iconic iron nails and monk's leather coat covered his body.

In the guise of a Hell Dignitary, Han Dong made his way to the crucifix holding the chains in place.

Leveraging Togu's understanding of the chains, coupled with Han Dong being a node holder of “Prometheus”
Buzz!

When he extended his hand, it was no longer merely touching the surface of the crucifix.

Instead, he passed through an invisible membrane, reaching into the interior of the crucifix.

Meanwhile, ripples spread across the seemingly metallic surface of the crucifix… Followed by Han Dong completely entering the interior, symbolizing the rule center of the Tomb World.

The System alert sounded again:
“Warning!

Individual detected with potential purpose threatening the world source, please evacuate the area immediately.

Your next actions will be in violation of the Black Tower's laws, resulting in the loss of employee status at the minimum to being disintegrated at the most.”

Han Dong immediately responded with a counter-consciousness: “Can you transmit what's happening here back to the Black Tower? That seems unlikely… No need to scare people. Your connection to the Black Tower was severed hundreds of years ago, wasn't it?”

He was so confident because he had a high-ranking executive above him.

Moreover, that executive could reach the very top of the Black Tower.

His true avatar was within the Tomb World, secretly observing everything.

That was also why the Black Tower had not received any information about “The Tombs” over the years.

“Warning…”

“Cut the crap.”

Brain shield activated, no longer disturbed by the annoying alerts.

At this moment.

Han Dong found himself in a pure white space.

Ten meters across from him, a glowing spherical body floated.

This was the 'internal system core' of the Tomb World… the earlier series of System alerts and task distributions were issued by it.

However, this spherical body was currently in an 'offline' state.

Han Dong even doubted whether the tasks given under the offline state would count, and they might only be considered actual tasks once reconnected with the Black Tower… after all, it's the Black Tower that evaluates individuals and provides rewards.

This spherical system core was like an independent [server], unable to do anything until linked with the company's mainframe.

Nevertheless.

The server itself had a robust firewall, requiring a significant [cost] for someone to invade or destroy it.

But Han Dong just happened to have that very [cost] in his hand – the node.

A light sphere, symbolizing the node of “Prometheus,” slowly emerged from his brain and hovered above the palm of Han Dong's hand.

Equivalent exchange.

Using the 'Power of the World' contained in the node to deplete the scarce 'Power of the World' within the Tomb World's core.

As the plan of the Tomb Lord began to unfold and Deadly Gas spread between heaven and earth, the server's connection with the Black Tower was also severed.

Under offline mode, this sphere had solely relied on the 'Power of the World' to maintain the world's stability for centuries.

Whether it was using the World Lockchain to restrain the ascending land masses or the countless Locksmiths sacrificing their lives battling the chains, both activities steadily depleted the 'Power of the World'.

According to the data provided by the Ministry of Rites, the consumption rate had reached 82%.

With the intervention of Han Dong, the node holder, the remaining 18% was rapidly being consumed.

What was originally a bright and sunny world suddenly dimmed, with thick clouds obscuring the sky.

Massive thunderbolts roiling within the clouds seemed like vast cracks spread across the sky, even giving off an impression that the world was about to be torn apart.

Remaining amount -5%
Remaining amount -3%
Remaining amount -1%
Remaining amount -0%
The Power of the World was completely exhausted,
The server has crashed,
The sphere that acted as the “Internal System Core” no longer radiated light, revealing its true form – a miniature Dyson Sphere.

Before Han Dong could take a closer look, the white space disintegrated and crumbled.

Buzz!

Han Dong was abruptly ejected outside of the cross.

Likewise,
The [Cross] right before his eyes, which was used to secure the chains of rules, was disappearing as rapidly as if the data were disassociating.

A surge symbolizing the struggle to break free transmitted along every chain upwards.

The Corpse Country as well as the surrounding Floating Islands all felt the shock wave of the upward thrust… However, the work was not finished.

The chains connecting the Corpse Country to the bottom of the Floating Islands were derivatives of the rules.

The server crash only meant that the chains were no longer fixed; to allow the Corpse Country to completely separate and promote, it was necessary to pull out all these chains that symbolized the rules of the original world… brute force would be needed.

Assistance seemed to have already arrived.

Through the “Death Jade,” Han Dong had the Minister of Rites with six eyes serve as his informant, observing the situation outside the barracks.

Currently, Minister Chang with a face full of shock had just returned underground.

But upon seeing the disappearing cross, his expression was a bizarre mix of concern and delight.

“You actually did it, envoy!”

“It's nothing to make a fuss about, didn't I say it could be done within a day? By the way, didn't I tell you to observe the situation from the periphery of the barracks for me? Could it be that something has happened?”

“A Monster tide is coming, and it's on a scale never seen before, I fear it could rival the Demon Region's turmoil during the founding of our nation!

Could it be, Envoy, that you anticipated this, that the Monster clan would come to halt our grand plan at the crucial moment?”

“No, they're not here to stop it, they're here to help.”

“What… what do you mean?”

“It means they've come specifically to assist with the 'Extraction Plan'… This way we can minimize the loss to the undead, ensuring the Corpse Country's overall strength remains unaffected before the promotion.

Moreover, the Monster clan would really like the Tomb Lord to take the entire Corpse Country away with him.

They are leery of the Tomb Lord themselves and therefore wouldn't dare cross Broken Dragon Cliff.

Once the Tomb Lord leaves, the world will be theirs… I just sent them a letter in advance.”

“This!”

“Minister Chang, want to see a good show? The next scene should be quite spectacular, come with me.”

“Alright.”

Minister Chang promptly arranged for the exclusive fast train of the Ministry of Rites to return to land swiftly.

The entire barracks was in a state of full Defense Mode, and a large number of undead had rushed over from the Corpse Country to provide support.

Wang Shiheng, who had faced the Saint at the Taiji Palace and returned to his previous rank of Secretary, also hurried back, ready to engage in the grand battle against the Demon Region.

Just then,
By utilizing the floating techniques from the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic], Han Dong hovered about a hundred meters above the barracks.

Clickety-clack clickety-clack~
A series of Tentacles grew out from the back of his head, with mouth structures emerging from the tips.

Thirty vocal organs formed, working together with Han Dong's voice to instantly cover the entire barracks… and an irresistible whisper penetrated the brains of every undead.

“Everyone, look at me!”

Holding the “Death Jade” high, Han Dong issued an order with the authority granted by the Tomb Lord:
“All obey! The cross that fixed the World Lockchain has been removed.

We will now proceed with the extraction of the chains, and all chains connected to the Corpse Country and Floating Islands must be removed.

The horde of monsters that are rushing here are the allies I've called upon.

Make sure to swiftly change the barracks' [Defense Mode] to [Open Mode], to cooperate with the monsters and pull out the chains together.

Today, we will realize the grand plan that has been hundreds of years in the making, and the Tomb Lord will lead us to a brand new world.”

As everyone was stunned by such an outrageous statement,
Wang Shiheng had already confirmed the situation with Minister Chang.

An old yet resonant voice came from Wang Shiheng:
“All obey! Remove the defenses, and work with the monsters to pull out the chains!”
