Chapter 414: Untimely Ascension

After explaining everything, Jerry began to lead Apollo towards the Great Wall.

The thick city walls were unable to completely block the roars of the monsters outside. Their anger was contained within the sound that made people’s teeth ache. However, facing the wall that was cast with divine power, they could only look at the wall and sigh.

What Jerry did not understand was that any creature that could survive in this swamp could not do it just by relying on strength. Most of them had a certain level of intelligence. The higher the level of the monster, the smarter it was.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that they ate trial-takers as food. According to the theory of what to eat and what to nourish, eating humans as food was naturally the most intelligent.

Therefore, these monsters should understand that wasting time here wouldn’t benefit anyone.

Putting aside how difficult it was to open the Great Wall.

Even if they managed to open the Great Wall with great difficulty, the people inside wouldn’t be enough for them to eat. If they were slower, they wouldn’t even be able to smell anything.

However, the monsters outside still chose to get stuck here like a bunch of unconscious zombies.

The attraction that made these monsters so persistent must be very strong.

Jerry could not help but sniff his own arm. He was sure that it was not because of the special smell that attracted so many persistent monsters.

Jerry did not have time to think about this problem. He began to think about the fortifications of the Great Wall. The three towers that had been built previously had been moved over. They were made from the bones of the giant monkey and were taller than the Great Wall. They could accommodate two people at a time to stand on them and fight back.

Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was better to have means of fighting back than to stand there and do nothing.

Unfortunately, there were no normal trees on this island. If there were, they could build more towers or defensive fortifications like rolling logs.

With this thought in mind, Jerry suddenly felt that it was absolutely right to let Simmons explore the soil environment here.

But even if he shook his head, they were clearly about to leave this place. At this moment, if they still wanted to establish a foothold here, it was obviously not necessary.

“Oh yes, Apollo. There’s one more thing. There are still a few more bones of the giant monkey. They are at the location where everyone is camping. There might be the bones of other trial-takers in there. If you have time, go bury them.”

Jerry suddenly thought of this matter. Furthermore, at this moment, the Sky Dynasty had finally welcomed a short period of safety. He had been thinking about the next step.

But this time, Apollo did not give an expected resolute and affirmative response. Instead, he answered in a voice that was almost insane.

“Your Majesty! Your body!”

Hearing such a response, Jerry felt baffled.

He lowered his head and saw that a big part of his body had already disappeared into thin air.

He clearly did not feel anything on his body, but his legs had already disappeared.

Since when his body seemed to gradually turn into pieces, dissipating in the air with the small wind?

“I’m about to enter the next level? At this time?”

Jerry looked at the condition of his body and almost understood. This was because he had already reached the strength of Tier Four god-king. Therefore, according to the rules of the Endless Tower, he had to enter the fourth level of the Endless Tower at this moment, to accept a new round of trials.

Logically speaking, this was a good thing because at the Tier Three Endless Tower, the Sky Dynasty had almost walked into a dead end. Almost half of the monsters in the entire Ghost Swamp had participated in the encirclement of the Sky Dynasty. And they could only temporarily rely on the Great Wall.

However, Jerry soon realized that something was wrong, as well as the reason for Apollo’s exclamation.

Generally speaking, as a trial-taker, Jerry had broken through to Tier Four god-king, so his subordinates had to follow him to the fourth level of the Endless Tower.

However, at this moment, other than Jerry himself, no one else had the slightest trace of ascension.

As for Jerry himself, his body was gradually disappearing, but Jerry’s own senses still did not feel any discomfort.

“How could this be?”

Jerry frowned. The ascension at this moment was caused by the authority of the administrator. It was almost something that was outside of the rules. No matter how powerful he was at the moment, he was completely unable to prevent this phenomenon from happening.

“Apollo, quickly send the signal and let everyone come back first!”

Jerry ordered.

According to the previous plan, the Sky Dynasty had sent out two teams to scout the island.

At this moment, he was about to ascend, but the others did not seem to be able to follow him.

The most important thing now was to call them back and see what the next step would be.

But before he could finish, Jerry suddenly felt that his voice seemed to be floating in the void. His mouth had already disappeared, and any words he said now were no longer in this space-time.

Next was his eyes. When he found that his eyes had disappeared for a while, his vision had also become pitch-black.

Actually, it could not be described as pitch-black, because pitch-black was actually a manifestation of vision.

His current vision was more like a piece of nothingness, nothing existed.

After a moment, Jerry felt all kinds of physical sensations return to his side.

Jerry opened his eyes.

It was snowing heavily, and the night was endless.

At this moment, there was no sign of Apollo or the other subordinates. The terrifying howls of the monsters were replaced by the howling of the wind and snow.

“Hiss, it’s so cold.”

Jerry understood that this place was more or less level four of the Endless Tower.

And the environment here was a vast snowfield. Goose-feather snow poured down from the sky, and no matter which direction it came from, the horizon could not be seen.

The wind blew across, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill. Jerry tightened his clothes, using his divine power to maintain his temperature temporarily. Otherwise, he would freeze to death here in a few minutes.

Different from the Ghost Swamp, the sky here was still very bright despite the heavy snow. It seemed that the annoying toxicity did not exist anymore.

However, the temperature here was terrifyingly low. Even with a Tier Four god-king body, Jerry could feel the cold in the snowstorm like a cold shower in winter.

“D*mn it, I’ve been tricked by the administrator.”

Jerry quickly understood this matter.

First of all, he had indeed broken through to Tier Four god-king. The administrator had therefore sent him here. The administrator was indeed doing his job.

However, all of Jerry’s subordinates were not able to follow him here.

At this moment, Jerry came to the fourth level of the Endless Tower alone.
