TL: Hanguk
The next morning.
“Ultimate weapon Uren, wait for my call.”
“Uhehehe. Okay.”
After finishing breakfast, Sejun had Uren stay behind in the Tower. He did not know what kind of unexpected variables might arise if he took him along.
Uren was the fastest at handling the Tears of Destruction, but there was nothing left except Tower Coins.
Since he was self-destructing due to his own misfortune, there was no experience points, and naturally, no Incomplete Creator God’s Tears.
So, Sejun decided to keep Uren as his trump card.
“Let’s head out now.”
“Mohehe. Have a safe trip!”
2a09:bac5:47ec:b05::119:5
Leaving Uren behind along with Poyo, who would manage Uren’s misfortune, Sejun and his party moved toward Jǫrmungandr’s stomach.
Piyo!
[I will assist Theo~nim well today!]
Piyot, who was with Theo after a long time, spoke in a voice full of enthusiasm.
“Puhuhut. I’ll leave it to my right front paw man then, meow!”
Piyo! Piyo!
[Yes! Just leave it to me!]
Piyot sat on Theo’s right shoulder, who was clinging to Sejun’s lap, and diligently scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.
Meanwhile,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Kabulto, move out!]
Yol yol…
[Yes…]
Thunk.
The Blackie Family began moving the Fart Ship.
Ppububung.
As the Fart Ship set sail,
“Cuengi, that one.”
Kueng!
Sejun, along with Cuengi, fished out an easy Tear of Destruction and turned it into a Destruction Sejun.
“Now, go to work.”
He had it plant the Destruction Devourer seeds.
It was a very smooth sailing.
“Let’s eat before we go.”
When lunchtime arrived, Sejun and his party returned to the Tower for lunch.
And even took a nap.
Despite their busy schedule, the Sejun Family made sure to enjoy everything.
“Time to go back to work.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Just trust the great boss Blackie!]
As Sejun and his party were about to return to Jǫrmungandr’s stomach,
Patrick spoke to Sejun.
“Yes. Huh? Patrick~nim, how are you speaking to me?”
Since such conversations were normally impossible outside the Tower, Sejun was surprised and asked Patrick.
“I see. Which floor will you be on?”
Those are the floors with temples.
“Yes, go ahead.”
Since he had little reason to visit the temple floors, Sejun readily agreed.
But why is the Administrator of the 10th Tower, Patrick~nim, asking for my permission?
Come to think of it, when he previously told him to vacate the room, it was strangely easy for him to say, as if he was being unusually subservient.
What’s going on?
Sejun realized something was off.
“Guys, I think we need to go to the 10th Tower first. Summon door.”
He moved to the 10th Tower with his companions.
And then,
Finally, they reached the top floor of the 10th Tower.
As expected of the highest floor, the entire ground was covered with luxurious marble, and in the center stood a massive circular white building.
Upon entering the building,
“Wow. There’s nothing here…”
Sejun spoke in a disappointed voice. Inside, there was nothing but empty space.
At that moment,
Paaat.
The building transformed into a massive pillar of light, and,
“Welcome, one who shall become the master of the 10th Tower.”
A being made of light appeared in front of Sejun, who was now trapped within the pillar of light.
It clearly had a human shape, but it was definitely not human. Its entire body was composed of countless rays of light.
“Wow…”
As he observed the being more closely, Sejun let out a gasp of awe.
Inside its body, there was not only light,
There were the sun, the moon, stars, black holes, and more.
Inside its body, planets were continuously being destroyed and recreated. A whole universe was contained within it.
“It is impolite to stare at another’s body so intently. One who shall become the master of the 10th Tower.”
The being that held a universe lightly reprimanded Sejun.
“Ah. I’m sorry. But where did my companions go?”
Sejun belatedly realized that his companions, who had been by his side, had disappeared and asked.
“Do not worry. They are safe. I merely separated them briefly because I wished to see and speak with the one who shall become the master of the 10th Tower directly.”
“Huh? I’m going to be the master of the 10th Tower? But there’s already an administrator and a deputy administrator in the Tower?”
Only after the being had referred to him as the ‘one who shall become the master of the 10th Tower’ three times did Sejun finally ask back. That was how flustered he was.
“They are, quite literally, just the ones who manage the Tower. They are not the Tower’s master. Is that not so?”
“Uh. That’s… true.”
Now that he thought about it, it made sense.
So that’s why Patrick~nim was so subservient to me.
“Hehehe. So, am I finally becoming a building owner?”
As Sejun grinned with excitement,
“It is too early to celebrate. You must pass the trial to become the master of the 10th Tower.”
The being that held a universe poured cold water on Sejun’s delusions.
“A trial? What kind of trial?!”
Sejun asked in an eager voice.
“This is the trial.”
Completely caught.
The being that held a universe smirked as it answered.
And then,
[Tower Master Quest: If you wish to become the master of the 10th Tower, prove your qualifications.]
– Eliminate 500 billion Locusts of Destruction, the First Calamity (0/500 billion)
– Eliminate 50 billion Giant Bloodsucking Leeches, the Second Calamity (0/50 billion)
…
..
.
– Eliminate 100 billion Flesh Eaters, the Eighth Calamity (0/100 billion)
Reward: Recognition as the master of the 10th Tower
A message appeared before Sejun.
The quest required him to eliminate a designated number of the eight Calamities.
“Huh?! What kind of quest is this?! Where am I supposed to kill them when there are no calamities?!”
Still unaware that the invasion of Destruction had resumed, Sejun protested to the being that held a universe.
He was determined to become the master of the 10th Tower and secure his status as a building owner.
“Do not worry. There will be more than enough Calamities to hunt.”
“Huh?”
More than enough?
Sejun could not understand it at all, But,
“And this is a gift for clearing the 10th Tower.”
The being that held a universe had no intention of explaining. He would come to understand in due time.
With those words,
Boom.
Suddenly, a torrential downpour of light rained from the sky and engulfed Sejun.
Sizzle.
Unfathomable characters were engraved onto Sejun’s irises as the light touched his eyes.
“Ah! It’s hot!”
As Sejun screamed, unable to endure the burning sensation in his eyes,
Clang.
“Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?! Did you just scream, meow?!”
A part of the pillar of light shattered, and Theo rushed out.
Kueng!
Kking!
Piyo!
Following Theo, the other companions entered through the hole he had made.
And then,
“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, are you hurt anywhere, meow?!”
Kueng?!
[Dad, are you okay?!]
Grrr. Kking?! Kking!
[Butler! Who did this?! The great Blackie will punish them!]
The companions hurriedly examined Sejun to check if he was injured.
“Vice Chairman Theo, take a look at my eyes. They felt really hot just now.”
As Sejun widened his eyes and spoke,
“Meow?! Understood, meow!”
Theo quickly leaned in to examine Sejun’s eyes.
But,
“Chairman Park, everything seems fine, meow!”
The letters engraved in his irises had already disappeared.
“Look again. It really felt like my eyes were burning!”
“They’re completely fine, meow! Chairman Park, how many paws are these, meow?”
“Two.”
“Puhuhut. Correct, meow! Chairman Park’s eyes are perfectly normal, meow!”
Sejun’s eyes were perfectly fine, and
“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is a true master of exaggeration, meow!”
Theo sincerely praised Sejun’s tendency to exaggerate.
“I’m not exaggerating!”
Of course, Sejun thought Theo was mocking him and got angry, But,
At that moment,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. That’s right! The butler isn’t exaggerating!]
Surprisingly, Blackie took Sejun’s side.
Kking! Kking. Kihihit.
[He’s really in pain! The butler is like a sunfish; even the slightest injury hurts him. Hehe.]
It was all just a setup for teasing him.
“Who are you calling a sunfish?! You sunfish!”
Kking?! Kking!
[Who else?! You’re the sunfish, butler!]
While the two “sunfish” bickered over who was actually the sunfish,
“…How did you break through my barrier?”
The being that held a universe, the Remnant of the Primordial God, looked at Theo in astonishment.
Even though it was just a remnant, it was by no means weak. Not even the Creator God could forcefully break through its barrier.
Yet Theo had managed to break through it…
What was going on?
Curious, the Remnant of the Primordial God focused its gaze on Theo.
Paaat.
Its golden eyes gleamed brightly.
“So that’s what it was…”
After discovering the reason, the Remnant of the Primordial God chuckled in disbelief.
How could someone possess such unshakable faith and obsession?
The barrier had been broken for an utterly ridiculous reason.
“It seems my time is up. Then, I leave the 10th Tower in your hands, one who shall become its master.”
“Huh? How can you just leave like that?! Change the quest requirements before you go!”
Sejun desperately tried to stop the Remnant of the Primordial God from leaving, But,
“My time is up. Farewell.”
The Remnant of the Primordial God vanished coolly.
As it disappeared, the pillar of light also faded, and Sejun and his party found themselves back inside the building.
Then,
[As a reward for clearing the 10th floor of the 10th Tower, all stats have increased by 3,000.]
[As a reward for clearing the 10th floor of the 10th Tower, you have acquired 500 billion Tower Coins and 2 trillion experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
…
..
.
A message confirming the 10th-floor clearance appeared.
And then,
[You have achieved a great achievement by clearing the 10th Tower after conquering the Nine Great Towers.]
[As a reward for this great achievement, you have obtained the <Title: One Who Has Reached the Summit of All Towers>.]
[As a reward for this great achievement, the stay fee for the Black Tower’s 0th floor has been reduced by 0.1%.]
By climbing the top of all ten towers, Sejun earned the complete title <One Who Has Reached the Summit of All Towers>.
“Hehehe. Let’s see how good this is.”
Sejun grinned as he checked the title.
→ A title granted only to those who have reached the top of all ten towers.
→ Allows instant teleportation to any Tower where a waypoint is saved.
→ Grants 10 seconds of invincibility after teleporting.
→ Enhances the effect of <Title: Retrogressor> by 10 times.
→ The stay fee reduction (56.3%) now applies to all worlds connected to the Towers.
The biggest change was that the stay fee reduction, which had previously only applied when returning to Earth, now extended to all connected worlds.
“…I don’t even need that.”
Of course, for Sejun, who only needed to return home, it was a mostly useless feature.
Additionally, there was no longer a need to go through the 99th floor of a Tower when going to another Tower, and
His invincibility duration increased from 5 seconds to 10 seconds, while the <Retrogressor> effect was amplified from 9 times to 10 times.
“Guys, let’s go home.”
Having conquered the 10th Tower, Sejun returned to the Black Tower.
“Sejun~nim, hello!”
Elka greeted Sejun, carrying something massive on his back,
They were the legs of the Fourth Calamity, the Petrifying Spider.
“Huh?! Elka, where did you get that?”
Sejun asked in an excited voice.
The presence of a calamity’s corpse meant that someone had hunted it, which in turn meant that a calamity had appeared.
I can become a building owner!
“Hehehe. If I’ve already filled the 7th and 9th floors, I just need to fill the rest and start collecting rent…”
Sejun started daydreaming again,
Forgetting that he was the only one who could even enter the 10th Tower.
