Chapter 166: Hidden Scenario : Prison of the damned
I woke up and looked around me. I was at the beginning of the game, bound and trapped here.
[Item Obtained: Blade of Chaos]
Infused: Primordial Fire (Level 1)
Upgradeable Perks:

[Health Point: 1000]
[Magic: -]
I nodded and noticed the parasite belonging to Megaera.
"Hello, Kratos," Megaera appeared and looked at me. I could see my reflection in her armor.
"Satan, is this my Arche Body?"
"Oops, Game Master can't bring your skills, but Stigma is a different story."
"Good Heaven."
"You seem changed after we tortured you. I hope you remember our special time," Megaera said, her voice dripping with annoyance. This yandere goddess made me sick. It was time to kill myself... literally.
"Hey, rash-looking goddess, why don't you just kill me already?" I taunted. Megaera smiled at me.
"No, no, death is a pleasure for you," she said, then began to torture me. I couldn't retaliate, and some constellations watching were annoyed by how I let this goddess torment me.
I counted the seconds as my health hit 1.
"382, 383, 384... 540, 541, 542... 1432, 1433, 1434... 70,132..." I kept counting until Megaera went insane, and I freed myself quickly, striking her with everything I had.
My punch sent Megaera crashing into the building below. I drew the Blade of Chaos and began chasing her.
"FOOLISH MORTAL!" I appeared in front of her and punched her hard. She was sent flying, and I walked casually toward her.
Megaera's parasite appeared, and I heard something.
[Double Jump Lv. 1 Obtained]
I was thrilled and quickly performed a double jump toward the injured Megaera.
[Quick Attack Lv. 1 Obtained]
[Heavy Attack Lv. 1 Obtained]
[Physical Attack Lv. 1 Obtained]
"Lord Ares is a fool who wants you back," Megaera muttered, repeating the same dialogue from the game. I swiftly eliminated her parasite. The Blade of Chaos danced through the air, making the battle tense for the constellations watching. Killing small fries was too easy.
[Rage of the Gods Lv. 1 Obtained]
The Blade of Chaos glowed brighter red, and I burned everything around me.
[Posture Level 1 > Posture Level 10 (Maximum Upgrade)]
[Combat Armament Level 1 > Combat Armament Level 3 (Maximum Upgrade)]
[943 Soul Obtained]
Megaera healed her wounds and glared at me as I fought like a monster.
She fled, and I chased her into the prison. She ran to the left, and I turned right.
[Chest Box Level 1 Obtained]
I struck it and absorbed the soul inside.
[431 Soul Obtained]
I walked on and found Megaera again.
"Die, mortal!" she shouted as I descended into the lower prison and saw her parasite ravaging the prisoners' bodies.
[Grapple Level 1 Obtained]
I grappled with the monsters there, tossing and slamming them like it was a game of catch. I crushed and killed them all.
[Disarm Level 1 Obtained]
I kicked one monster, causing it to drop its sword. I grabbed it, and another notification appeared.
[Switch Arm Level 1 Obtained]
Now, I could switch between the Blade of Chaos and the sword simultaneously, swapping weapons like a pro.
All the constellations who thirsted for battle were entertained by my fighting style. It was fluid, perfect, and most importantly, my fight became the spotlight for many Star Stream streamers. Even some incarnations in the Star Stream saw me battling—it was a question of death or life.
My body was covered in both my blood and my enemies', even some organs spilling out, but the wounds didn't make me back down at all.
[312 Soul Obtained]
I immediately pursued Megaera, moving fast until I encountered the Hecatonchires hand monster.
"Die, Kratos!" Megaera yelled as she fled, and I engaged the hand monster. Every strike I made wounded Aegaeon's hand. I was then taken to the next stage, where I executed the hand by splitting its body in two with its own claws.
[1432 Soul Obtained]
I slid gracefully after Megaera.
[Slide Level 1 Obtained]
I slid into the sewer and arrived below. I immediately began wall climbing, and I received a new ability.
[Wall Trick Level 1 Obtained]
I climbed up and encountered even more monsters. I tossed them off the walls to conserve energy and opened another chest box.
[3124 Soul Obtained]
[18831 Soul Obtained]
I used this opportunity to upgrade the Blade of Chaos, but before I did, I found an artifact and picked it up.
[Prisoner's Oath Stone Artifact Obtained: Grants infinite rage until the Scenario ends.]
My stats were rigged, continuously boosted every second by my Dying Rage and the Infinite Rage buff from the Artifact, making me stronger with every passing moment.
[Blade of Chaos (Level 2)]
Spartan Revenge: Permanent skill for the sword (maximum): counterattack when hit, with or without stance; can also deflect enemy projectiles.
Cyclone of Fury (Ground or Air): A flurry of hits that pushes enemies away. Level 1 (Ability can be enhanced further).
Increase Blade Damage.
I was elated and moved on to the next area, where I saw the prisoners.
"Marked Warrior!"
"He will set us free from the Furries," was their plan.
I arrived at the place where Aegaeon had claimed the cells. I fought enemies again, with my balance highly questionable. The constellations were excited to watch, taking notes on how to craft a scenario, even the Dokkaebi joined the stream with Satan.
Satan, as the host, made this battle even more thrilling and provocative for the constellations.
[2631 Soul Obtained]
I left the arena and quickly solved a puzzle. A Cyclops appeared, and I immediately attacked it, riding it.
[Monster Riding Level 1 Obtained]
I rode the Cyclops and eliminated Megaera's parasite. What a thrilling experience.
I killed the Cyclops and took its eye.
[Collectible Bounty! Cyclops Eye]
Collect 5 Cyclops Eyes to increase Vitality and Vigor by 10 points, permanent effect for both the game world and real world.
I nodded and suddenly encountered five more Cyclops. Mini Bosses? Fair enough.
I killed them all, dominating the battle as five giants fell to a smaller man, and I collected all five of their eyes.
[5 Eyes of Cyclops Sacrificed. Vigor and Vitality increased.]
[Vigor Lv. 15 > Vigor Lv. 25]
[Vitality Lv. 14 > Vitality Lv. 24]
I continued my journey and met a multiplayer character.
"By the gods, you're finally here," he said, as our cell was attacked by Aegaeon's monster.
"Can you fight?" I freed him and threw a weapon to him.
"Sure, why not?"
We fought together. It wasn't easy, and he was overwhelmed, but the battle ended with the death of Aegaeon's hand.
"We'll meet again in the future!" he said, as Aegaeon threw me into his body.
[Tag Team Level 1 Obtained]
I reached the lift and Megaera cursed at me.
"You're testing my patience, Kratos!" she yelled, but I ignored her. I solved the puzzle and grabbed a box there.
[312 Soul Obtained]
I used the Wall Trick to chase Megaera and arrived at the top, where this would be an illusion. This was Tisiphone's domain.
I opened it and... oh my days, many naked women were here.
'Satan, if you please, where is my reward from Sun Wukong's Commission?'
'I must make a commercial break. Enjoy the harem, Valtor, G will handle the constellations' sudden interruption of the commercial.'
'Yes.'
[Hidden Mission > Free From Prison of The Damned (Complete)]
Reward: Chain of The Titan (Stigma) and Imprisonment Resistance (Exclusive)
Anomaly Detected...
Mark of Warrior Stigma Obtained
"Such a fierce warrior," I said, unimpressed by the illusions.
From female seduction to naked bodies sprawled around, making out, I had seen my wife and harem do this every day. I had no interest, but mission was mission. Time to deal with these two Furies out of pity.
I remained silent until Tisiphone appeared.
"They are nothing. Come with me to experience the greatest pleasure," she said, inviting me in.
[○ Level 1 Obtained]
I saw a circle button above her head and threw it.
"He's mine. I'll take care of him," I heard as I grabbed Megaera and broke her spider-like legs.
Tisiphone used her illusion, but I was freed from it thanks to my stats that had surpassed 7 digits. I quickly acted.
Infamous Act of Zeus: Grapple them both at the same time.
I did it for pity, knowing full well how Zeus' almighty power worked. It wasn't about beauty standards or size—it was about the mission.
I dominated both Furies, disregarding their resistance. I used their bodies as I saw fit, playing with their femininity like it was my toy, making them submit as I pleased.
After all, I used the character body, not my real one. So, I was still technically a virgin in the real world, though this body was not.
[Fuck Megaera and Tisiphone. Reward: 4 Arachna Spider Appendages Stigma and Traceless Murderer Lv. 3]
I finished with them and immediately went back to pounding them in their weakened state. The stream came back with Tisiphone and Megaera critically wounded. The constellations protested, calling this boss fight absurd.
Now, it was 3v1 against them. I could see their weakened forms, but Aegaeon still posed a challenge.
We fought seriously, phase after phase, like a battle between gods—an unmissable game-changing moment.
The battle ended with me throwing Tisiphone far into the arena and killing Megaera with her own spider leg. I finished off Aegaeon by destroying his heart with a powerful punch straight through his chest.
[Kill Aegaeon (Complete)]
Reward: 400 Times Strength Boost Permanent
Strength Lv. 11 > Strength Lv. 4400
[Kill Megaera, Goddess of Envy. Reward: Immunity to Parasite, Exclusive Skill Obtained]
My strength increased drastically. I took the Amulet and received another notification.
[Amulet of Uroboros Obtained]
The cutscene began, just as before. This time, it started differently.
All my buffs faded, but the Infinite Rage and the Amulet of Uroboros remained. Interesting.
Orkos appeared, and the usual cutscene played out. Since this was the past, Zeus' incident hadn't happened, making this the most logical and honorable outcome.
I spoke with Orkos, who gave me a treasure.
[Lost Treasure: This relic can discern reality from illusion.]
"Thank you," I said as Orkos gave me his advice.
"You must seek the oracle," he added, and then vanished. Satan appeared shortly after, handing me a list detailing the benefits of completing the "Free From Prison of The Damned" scenario.
[Scenario Recap "Free From Prison of The Damned"]
For the given values:
Soul obtained: 5149Combo: 32,341,342Brutal Kills (each): 3.0 SoulMini Boss Kills (each): 5.0 SoulBoss Kill: 10.0 SoulQuick Kill: 2.0 Soul
Calculating the soul gain for each category:
Combo Multiplier:
(323,413 times 10.0 = 3,234,130) Soul
Brutal Kills:
(8 times 3.0 = 24.0) Soul
Mini Boss Kills:
(14 times 5.0 = 70.0) Soul
Boss Kill:
(1 times 10.0 = 10.0) Soul
Quick Kills:
(581 times 2.0 = 1162.0) Soul
Now, adding up all the calculated values:
[3,234,130 + 24 + 70 + 10 + 1162 = 3,235,396]
Finally, multiplying the total by the random soul obtained (5149):
[3,235,396 times 5149 = 16,651,152,004]
So, with these values, I would obtain 16,651,152,004 Souls.
"Great, upgrade now!" I said excitedly.
[Blade of Chaos (Level 5)]

'Question, God, how can I increase the skill?'
'You need to find white chests.'
'Thank you.'
I quickly ran off to search for the chest in Kirra. After a while, I found one and opened it.
[Collectible Bounty! Phoenix Feather]
Collect 5 feathers to increase endurance and intelligence by 10 points, permanent effect for the game world and real world.
Anomaly Detected... Randomly Maximize Skill

'Thank you, God.'
I continued my journey through Kirra and discovered Circe's Vial.
[Circe's Vial Artifact Obtained]
Allows user to triple the combo count until the scenario ends.
I walked and came across Ares' place. I drove my sword into the ground, and a notification popped up.
[Fire of Ares]: Unleash your fury and stun surrounding enemies with Ares' Fire.
Level 1: 0
Level 2: 1,000 Souls
Level 3: 10,000 Souls
[Trial of God Active: Ares, the God of War]
User must kill enemies with fire while they have greater resistance to fire (0/1,000,000). Each time a kill is made, the enemy gains invincibility for 3 seconds. Waves of enemies will increase the chances of attacking and engaging. The user is unable to use Ares' magic.
I saw the enemy waves approaching, but I had an idea—slightly cheeky but brilliant. I continuously used Cyclone of Fury until my Rage of the Gods filled up. Once it was full, I saw Primordial Fire and Ares Fire begin to merge, setting everything ablaze.
I danced with my blade, creating a dragon-like whirlwind, executing combos and watching as souls were absorbed by the fire.
[4891, 4892, 4893...]
I kept going, the combo count growing three times faster. The endless waves of enemies were no challenge as I spun through them, constantly engaging and pushing them away with my fire.
The constellations marveled at how I managed to discern the trial's mechanics and use my intellect to my advantage. The battle was a beautiful, unstoppable symphony of fire and fury.
One by one, the enemies began to fall until there were no more left.
Satan appeared again and gave me another gift.
[29,556,792,756,990 Souls Obtained]
"Thanks," I said.
"Anytime," Satan replied. "The constellations love your display of power and creativity. Keep going."
I continued my journey toward Delphi, hoping this would lead to a success of its own.
=============================
List of Obtainable
Chain of The Titans (Stigma) : The Chain of The Titans possesses the extraordinary ability to bind even the mightiest titans, including deities, demigods, magical or spiritual beings, and ordinary mortals.

Mark of the Warrior (Stigma) : The Mark of the Warrior is a legendary stigma foretold by the Oracle to bring about the demise of the Gods, leading to the destruction of entire religions, pantheons, or mythologies. The Oracle prophesied that this cataclysmic event would not be orchestrated by the vengeful Titans, nor by powerful elder gods, primordials, or entities beyond cosmic comprehension, but instead by the hands of a mortal—a Marked Warrior, destined for an extraordinary fate.
- Level 1: Due to its nature, the marked Warrior is burdened with the inability to kill mortals. If the user violates this restriction and takes the life of a mortal, they experience deep guilt that manifests in the mark on their skin growing brighter and more ethereal.

The Mark itself bestows absolute domination in all aspects of combat, from present to future, across all known and unknown warrior abilities.

Once activated, no god or primordial dares to challenge the marked mortal, either perishing or ceasing to exist as foretold by the oracle.
