He didn’t even hesitate—Hell Mode, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Hell Mode was five to ten times harder than the normal setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this underground labyrinth already started at level 60, enabling Hell Mode meant it could easily spike to the equivalent of level 80 in terms of difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right after Hell Mode... there was another tier: a locked difficulty known as Legendary Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on past experiences, this Legendary difficulty demanded adventurers of at least level 100, and even then, they needed to possess S-grade or higher talents and form a solid, elite team to stand a chance of clearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For many top-tier powerhouses, even those ranked at the demigod level, the Legendary Challenger’s Labyrinth was a sacred battleground—an event they made time for every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that presented a different kind of challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their strength, even those elite veterans couldn’t enter Legendary Mode immediately—because the mode wasn’t unlocked by default. They first had to clear Hell Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By choosing Hell Mode, Daniel had unknowingly stepped into the same arena of competition as the strongest human elites—not just fellow newbies from his Awakening cohort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason those powerhouses hadn’t shown up yet was due to the labyrinth’s current restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Maybe I’m being a bit overconfident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel chuckled to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doubt didn’t linger long. Without further hesitation, he selected \"Enter\" and stepped into the labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terra Fortress—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest city ever constructed by the gnome race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though located deep beneath the surface, this underground metropolis wasn’t just vast—it was the most prosperous city on the entire continent, bar none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: the most advanced technological achievements of the gnome race were all concentrated here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thanks to technology that the gnomes had risen to be one of the Top Ten Races of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as their technology continued to evolve, so too did their strength—so much so that they had even begun to outshine the once-dominant human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while no one paid it much attention...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadows of Terra Fortress, buried within a filthy slum, something was stirring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the gnomes—who were used to grime, grease, and garbage—found the smell unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are all the preparations complete?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are. Everything is ready. Tonight, Terra Fortress will witness the most glorious fireworks in its history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praise be to art! Soon, all the creatures of the world will come to understand what true artistry really means!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our name—as artists—shall echo across the world after tonight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a burst of hysterical laughter, bordering on maniacal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These figures in the basement looked like gnomes... but not quite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the center of each of their foreheads, a blood-red vertical eye had grown—creepy and disturbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come,\" said one of them. \"Before the world trembles beneath the name of our art, let us first admire this masterpiece ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned, eyes wide with excitement and madness, to face the massive mechanical structure in the corner of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal, circular steam-powered construct—engraved all over with impossibly intricate runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had a human arch-scholar been present, they’d have collapsed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the complexity of these engravings was beyond mortal comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standard runes—the smallest of them—were typically 3 millimeters in size. But these ones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been miniaturized by three full orders of magnitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here’s the kicker:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more runes a magical device had, the more powerful it became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double the runes, double the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now imagine this: these runes were 100 times smaller per unit, and shrunk by three units. That’s a multiplication of 100 × 100 × 100...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In simple terms, this steam device was potentially a million times more powerful than the strongest steam weapon currently known across all races!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A million times stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let that sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest known steam weapons could already injure demigod-level opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what would happen if a device’s destructive potential were magnified a million-fold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a true god would be at serious risk of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"artists\" grinned like madmen, admiring their creation with rapture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, one of them pointed to a clock on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time,\" he declared. \"Time to show the world the greatness of our art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, all the other \"artists\" turned solemn and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without missing a beat, they began attaching final components to the circular steam device—components they had prepared long in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, taking up a torch, one of them lit the steam engine core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud click, the entire machine came to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following pre-dug tracks, it began to roll out of the basement, out of the slums, and into the heart of Terra Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" one of them said with eerie calm, \"let the world witness our artistic revolution!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Primary core weapon has reached its target location. Shall we detonate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do it. Let those foolish gnomes see what true artistry looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous steam device rolled into a bustling district of Terra Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, nobody paid it any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, gnome scholars and inventors tinkered with weird contraptions all the time. People were used to seeing bizarre experiments pop up randomly in the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what they didn’t know...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that tonight, deep above the earth’s surface, the Blood Moon had risen once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under its eerie glow, the true plan of the \"artists\" was about to unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the basement, the so-called \"artists\" had gathered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were flush with anticipation, like children waiting for fireworks. Their vertical red eyes glowed with a strange light—vivid, unnatural, and pulsing with an energy imperceptible to the average being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, they were once ordinary gnomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a thousand years ago, during the first unexpected rise of the Blood Moon, some gnomes had undergone mutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sprouted a third eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from that moment on, they became... different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They grew bloodthirsty, destructive, but eerily calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was the scariest part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not madmen—but calculated, rational maniacs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the most dangerous types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their destructive power didn’t come from chaos—it came from precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow artists,\" one of them asked solemnly, \"how many primary core weapons have we created to date?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty thousand,\" someone replied proudly. \"Enough to share two for every major race in the world. We artists value fairness above all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-06T00:12:00.791Z",1,"novelbin.me","223c9005c067aeb07612e1a0a2362173ec6ac78e707c509fe0e26828974fbd40","reborn-with-infinity-skill-points-i-enslaved-all-chapter-55","reborn-with-infinity-skill-points-i-enslaved-all-chapter-53",650,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-with-infinity-skill-points-i-enslaved-all-cover.jpg"]
