Chapter 344: Confusion
Chapter 344 – Confusion"How could a sea split itself into two to pave a way for a man with no power?"
A feminine mechanical voice boomed through the white sterile oval-shaped room as Noah and Virgo regained consciousness.
They looked around, trying to get a hold of where they were, but what they saw slowed their minds significantly.
They were in a small white room with no doors or windows to speak of. The walls, the floor, and the ceiling were all painted white in a way that was almost painful to look at.
But not only that — as he pressed his hand on the floor to get up, Noah felt a difference in texture he hadn’t expected.
The floor felt like alloy, transformed in a way he had never thought possible back on Earth. Metallic lines ran across the walls, trailing downward like liquid light.
It glowed with a translucent shine.
On the ceiling, in each of the four corners, Noah saw something resembling loudspeakers, entirely white like the room itself. Mechanical insects flew lazily through the air, some crawling on the walls and ceiling, their eyes fixed on them with unnerving precision.
He felt watched. Not the kind his wives would do, the one that spoke volumes about their degeneracy... but the kind when you feel like a rat under the gaze of a mad scientist who had long turned off his emotions.
It was eerie, to be honest.
Virgo pushed herself upright, her eyes clouded with confusion.
"Where are we?" she asked.
Noah didn’t respond immediately. His mind was trying to comprehend what he was seeing.
Providence had already warned him about an event he could not escape, an event he needed to go through if he was serious about his dream of Perfection.
But he was already starting to regret it, because he could feel his power suppressed dramatically. He barely had the strength of a Supreme rank being now.
He cursed silently.
He parted his lips to respond to Virgo but—
"How could a sea split itself into two to pave a way for a man with no power?"
The mechanical voice echoed again from everywhere at once.
"What?" Noah blurted instinctively. h, +0 points."
Virgo bit her lip at the voice. She didn’t know how this thing knew her full name, but she sensed that if she continued like this... she might face something ghastly.
’I have been useless. I have to gather myself!’ she rebuked herself.
Suddenly,
In the far right corner of the oval room, the floor flipped like a switch. A bed began to rise, oval-shaped, white, forged from sublime alloy, and fixed to the ground with heavy vices.
The floor beneath Noah parted, and a metallic hand with multiple electrical wires, shaped like a human’s, emerged, holding a switch.
The metallic hand pressed the device into Noah’s palm, then retreated into the floor.
He blinked, still confused, but the voice cut through before he could gather his thoughts:
"First reward: Sit. Use the switch. Watch the end of Pharaoh."
