"Wow, it's so dazzling. There must be something incredibly valuable hidden up there."
"I want it. I really want it."
Even though the air was thick with a terrifying pressure, someone, completely entranced, started walking toward the golden staircase, step by step.
Their greedy eyes were locked on the brilliant light above, and they had completely lost control of themselves.
But the moment they set foot on the golden steps—
Boom!
It was as if they were struck by lightning. Their bodies trembled violently, as if they were being crushed by an overwhelming, boundless force.
A wave of intense pressure rippled outward, and they snapped back to their senses, immediately retreating in panic.
"What... what is this?!"
Even after stepping away from the stairs, their faces were still filled with shock and fear.
If they had been just a second slower, they had no doubt their bodies would have been torn apart.
