Stuck in The Tower Chapter 711

Episode 711: How did I get there?

A gift Erembatt gave me before entering the deep sea.

It was a sight.

It was also a memory of the past seen through his eyes.

‘This is the view when climbing the tower.’

I realized that it was not normal.

The vision flows as if in fast forward.

In the beginning, scenes of him suffering or climbing up the lower floors were skipped.

That’s not what he wants to show me.

-Crackling. Cheezy.

My vision is blurred, as if something is in my eye.

It felt like a spark and a foreign body, and it was like that.

Interference coming from outside.

‘The system has placed restrictions.’

A phenomenon that occurs when information that should not be given is given directly or when it escapes the intention of the system and is crushed.

What he wants to show me is what the system also wants to prevent.

A normal NPC wouldn’t dare to try that alone.

‘Not Erembatt.’

This guy is a fragment of chaos.

Because it was a very strong being.

Chaos rejects rules, and a system is nothing more than a totality of rules.

This means that although it may be partially suppressed, it cannot be completely suppressed.

‘It’s the 90th floor.’

My vision was blurry, like a dirty lens, but I could tell instinctively.

The current point is the 90th floor.

-Srurr.

Past the 93rd, 95th, and 97th floors.

‘Higher than now!’

Because it showed me the sights of an area I had never been to before.

-Stop it!

System intervention becomes more severe.

There are so many things blocking my view that it is painful to open my eyes to see if they are intentionally interfering with me.

Since Erembatt’s vision itself cannot be blocked, the system randomly displays information to clutter the eyes.

The process may also be outside the scope of the system, causing various data to become distorted and broken.

‘It even causes bugs.’

I really don’t want to show it, so I’m probably crawling.

Knowing in advance about an area you haven’t been to is no different from a cheat.

I thought so.

‘It doesn’t matter, does it?’

This is not the first time the tower has been created.

Naturally, the structure changes every time it appears in a world that is about to be destroyed.

Until our servers were integrated, the monsters that appeared and the clear conditions were different in each country.

There is no way that the rulers that Erembatt met beyond the 97th floor are still the same.

I don’t think there will be any problem if I show it, but why is the system desperately trying to block it?

-Ssssss.

98th floor.

After passing there, you can see the 99th floor.

Now it’s almost impossible to find out what’s there.

[The SSS-level power Eye that Watches the Stars is used.]

In addition to Erembatt’s gaze, I also used my power.

Although it was just a silhouette, I could see what I had previously seen as a recording artifact given by Ophelia.

King of all worshipers.

Bedrock Vaaluze.

‘I guess that guy was on the 99th floor the whole time.’

How long has he reigned at the tower?

I didn’t know, but I was sure of one thing.

‘strong.’

Even though I just looked at it, I had no trouble guessing how powerful it was.

Something overwhelming.

Existence itself feels different.

It goes without saying that Erembat, who was climbing the 99th floor at the time, also felt fear.

Did you want to give me information about him?

Even though it is just a memory, power will be revealed.

Because now I’m looking at it from his perspective.

If you read even a little bit of information about him…!

-I’m sorry!

-Tsuzzzzzzz!

at that time.

The view changed again.

All kinds of broken data and buggy messages.

I couldn’t see ahead due to the system’s warnings and sparks, but I could still feel it.

this place.

‘It’s the 100th floor.’

Erembatt is a fragment of chaos.

Because that meant that I had ascended to the 100th floor.

What on earth do you want to show me?

What he wanted to show wasn’t the monster on the 99th floor.

top of the tower.

It was shining a light on the place I must go to.

It is unknown what kind of space it is.

It was very bright, yet dark at the same time.

Even if it weren’t for the disruption of the system, it would have been close to impossible to see inside.

It felt like the tower itself was rejecting it.

The only thing I can know is.

‘It’s not like there are monsters or anything.’

In the first place, there are no ordinary monsters when you reach the 100th floor.

Even if the grade doesn’t match, it doesn’t fit.

I don’t know if it was some other disaster or chaos fragment, but at least I didn’t feel it right now.

Maybe it was just empty space.

Since the tower has safety zones on every 10th floor, I didn’t know that the 100th floor might also be like that.

Time to somehow look inside.

—-!

A sense of intangible pressure and shock shook my body.

Something is suppressing Erembatt’s abilities.

As if the electricity went out, my vision disappeared, but right before I completely lost sight.

-Gooooooo!

I could feel Erembatt’s anger and despair.

He didn’t want to show anything from the beginning.

He wanted to let people know, at least indirectly, about the emotions and confusion he felt at that time.

[The system intervenes!]

[Erembatt, silent and staring, closes his eyes.]

“Huh! omg!”

My vision returned to normal.

I was on the central island and Deokchun was next to me.

As I looked at the guy’s memories, I let out a rough breath as if I had been holding my breath.

The cold sweat running down my back was soaking my whole body.

Should I say that my stomach is confused?

“Wow!”

I was nauseous from the pounding head and unbearable rumbling in my intestines.

Even as I fell to the floor, I tried to grasp what I had just felt.

-Pazzuzuz, that is!

Even now, the system is oppressing me and confusing my memories.

A lot of information and secrets about the tower that would not have been revealed originally.

The experiences of those who climbed this place and the records of the world that was destroyed.

It was information that could truly be called a treasure.

“Sigh! Turn it off!”

The enormous amount of information and energy could not be handled all at once.

Even the information that has been hammered into your head is contaminated.

Post-war relations, the flow of history, the characters and events that appeared were arbitrarily intertwined.

The system is not trying to tell me mystical secrets.

I’m just trying to taint what I saw so I can’t remember it.

Annoyingly, it was quite effective.

[Chaos ignores some of the intervention in the system.]

I also have a lot of chaos, and I know how to deal with it, but I am not a fragment of complete chaos.

No, it’s not even half-hearted.

Just as the system could not completely control Erembatt, I also could not completely ignore the system’s intervention.

Buried in tangled memories and emotional information, what Erembatt showed quickly volatilizes.

Throw away the little things.

I tried my best to leave only the most essential things.

[Excessive intervention in the system is acknowledged.]

[Penalties due to system restrictions are removed.]

[Compensation for system intervention is given.]

Soon, the system that was bothering me stopped.

My head feels refreshed like a lie.

The system is fair to everyone, and that includes the system itself.

I guess this is the range where intervention is possible.

It’s nice that they even give me a reward.

I decided to check this later.

“I barely remember.”

Both the information the system pushed into me and Erembatt’s memories are blurry.

Should I say that I am quickly forgetting about it?

Or maybe it was buried somewhere deep in my consciousness.

Even if I try hard to think of it, I can’t even get a single strand of it.

Still, there was one thing I held on to.

He went up to the 100th floor and was given a choice.

And no matter which one you choose.

‘Erembatt has become a fragment of chaos.’

At least I knew that one thing.

I frowned.

I don’t know what the options are.

There is nothing to guess.

A hidden quest that forces you to reach the 100th floor.

There were conditions for transcendence there.

[???-Hidden Quest]

-Climb the tower.

-【Transcendence Conditions】

-1) Entering the 100th floor (incomplete)

-2) Chaos score over 1000 (completed)

-3) Rise in status (completed)

-4) Two or more concepts (1/2)

-5) Tower of Selection (complete)

-6) Recognition of the fragments of chaos (complete)

-7) Selection (incomplete)

The final condition of transcendence.

select.

I think it’s probably related to this.

“Whew. “It’s a pain in the ass.”

I washed my face dry.

It was a variable I hadn’t thought about, but knowing it in advance wasn’t a bad thing.

“hey! are you okay?”

“The 97th floor has been cleared!”

“Gongblegongble!”

It seems like a very long time has passed because various things happened in between.

In reality, not much time passed.

Smile Cap and Noble Knight, who had hurriedly joined the members who had just left the front line, were coming.

I was quite mentally tired from looking at his childhood memories and memories from the tower.

“Did you kill it?”

“That’s not it.”

“It’s better to make sure you get it done when you have the chance. That way, it will be comfortable to come back later.”

I shook my head at Smilecap’s words.

As the ruler of the 97th floor, I know I suffered from Erembatt in one way or another, but there is no need for that anymore.

-Guooooh.

I could hear the cries of someone fiddling with a necklace somewhere in the deep sea.

I don’t think this guy will cause a flood again.

I’ve already got what I want and it’s kind to me.

This means that I won’t just attack you again.

Of course, I don’t know if the system will watch that happen.

“He would be quiet.”

Erembatt is not normal either, so he will not act according to the system’s tastes.

That means you’re safe, at least for a while.

Smilecap didn’t ask any more questions either.

“Rest for now. “I know that you played the biggest role this time.”

Rather, the priority was to look at other injured people.

This was not a safe zone and several measures were needed for treatment.

I had to prepare before climbing the 98th floor.

“Jaekyung should have come up. Tsk.”

Those who could not withstand the flooding and died have not yet reached the 97th floor.

The same goes for Jaekyung Park.

They will have to go through the ordeal of the 97th floor again.

I don’t know what form it will take.

‘Now that I think about it, Lee Jun-seok hasn’t come up yet.’

How will I get up there with Park Jae-kyung by my side?

If you don’t think it’s okay, I can come down and help you.

Looking at the 97th floor, I thought I would die a few times on the 98th and 99th floors.

“Hey, hey, what was that earlier?”

“hmm?”

“You really looked like a fragment of chaos when you fought Erembat.”

“Gongblei, have you given up on being human now? “It won’t work.”

Kukkuk. The licker poking my side frowns at me.

Nyangfun was also fiddling around here and there, probably to check on my condition.

Hair loss man.

“But wasn’t it cool! “My feet!”

“You stay quiet.”

As usual, I got stepped on by a licker.

I think he saw me demonized.

I wonder if I had just used magic, but this time I used chaos as well.

Since you will probably be using it in the future, it would be better to tell me in advance.

I briefly conveyed the situation at that time.

“Then be careful not to end up like a fragment of chaos!”

“Tell me if anything goes wrong. “I will help you come to your senses even if it means breaking your head.”

“oh! “Then I’ll have to hold you from behind so you can’t escape.”

I think they also understood it to some extent.

Still, it’s nice that you’re worried.

“Anyway, the 97th floor is over! “Let’s go upstairs!”

The hair loss man raises his fist.

Yes, it has to go up eventually.

Because none of these people here will stop here.

There were a few things I was worried about too, but eventually I had to get to the 100th floor.

“I should also take a break by playing with boxes.”

An item given by the system as a reward for intervention.

I plan to check what’s inside.

The moment he raises his eyebrows and walks along with the members.

A question suddenly occurred to me.

‘But how did the fragments of chaos get through the guy on the 99th floor and go up to the 100th floor?’

Although indirectly, I saw the guy on the 99th floor twice.

Even Erembatt was afraid when he saw him.

Among the fragments of chaos I fought, there were some that were so weak that it was embarrassing to even compare them to Erembat or Delverton.

I fought in the past and won, so if I fight now, I will definitely win.

They say those guys also climbed to the 100th floor.

I thought I remembered something from the information the system showed, but I couldn’t remember it.

‘Is he weaker than I thought?’

I don’t know.

I just hope so.

I decided not to worry about it since I would know it when I got up there anyway.

* * *

99th floor.

The king of all worshipers opened his closed eyes.

A space that is destroyed just by existing.

A presence so gigantic that it was tangible shimmered.

The corners of his mouth draw a faint line.

The eyes are full of interest.

At first glance, it seemed friendly.

If it weren’t for the compassion and madness that filled me, I wouldn’t know that my transparent eyes would feel beautiful.

“I wish you could come.”

if you need.

“What suits you?”

I’m thinking of giving him a gift.

Whether the recipient wants it or not.

perhaps.

I thought it might be okay to be a little greedy.

Just like he did.
