It wasn’t a sudden appearance.
Around the time Se-un received confirmation regarding the alliance with Olympus and was gathering the main gods of the divine realm, Tuning arrived.
While Se-un was contemplating how a god could intervene in the Tower, Tuning came first.
“Tuning?”
“It’s been a while, Player Jung Se-un.”
“What brings you here? More importantly, aren’t administrators only allowed within the Tower?”
“That’s correct, but there’s one exception. There hasn’t been a precedent, and I’ve been too busy to pay attention, but originally, assisting players who ascended to Constellation status with system explanations is also part of the administrator’s job.”
Come to think of it, that was true.
In Se-un’s case, Mamon was by his side to explain various things as soon as he obtained divinity, but what about ordinary people?
They wouldn’t know how to move or where to go.
Even Se-un himself had to borrow Mamon’s help because he didn’t know how to observe the Tower.
“Is the reason you’re busy perhaps because of the Outer Gods?”
“Yes. Starting with Shinel, Outer Gods’ attacks have begun throughout the Tower. The system is limiting the Outer Gods as much as possible, but there are limits to this alone…….”
“……Are there any places that have already fallen?”
“Not yet. However, everyone is in urgent need of time. That’s why I’ve come to ask for Player Jung Se-un’s help.”
You could tell how busy he was just by looking at Tuning’s condition.
Recently, he had been ironing his clothes neatly, but now his clothes were drooping sloppily, just like when he first appeared.
It wasn’t that he didn’t manage himself, but rather that he couldn’t.
You could tell how little he had rested just by looking at the dark circles under his eyes.
“I can’t go right now. First……”
Se-un, who was about to send him back, changed his mind.
Tuning’s knowledge was desperately needed for the upcoming discussion.
* * *
“First, let me introduce myself. I am ‘Tuning’ from the Tower’s Administration Office. I have come to advise on matters related to the Tower regarding the current issue.”
“Oh, an administrator.”
“It’s my first time seeing one in person.”
“Well, the Administration Office can’t just stand by when the Tower is about to collapse.”
The gods nodded.
In fact, the administrator’s help was essential for this matter, as it was related to the Tower.
“First, regarding one of the methods mentioned earlier, ‘Descent’…… it’s impossible.”
“Why?”
“The dimension is already unstable due to the Outer Gods’ attacks. If the gods descend with their vast power, the dimension will collapse.”
“It seems the situation is more serious than I thought.”
“That’s right. Next, regarding the second matter, I understand that there are already those who are using their power.”
Some gods nodded.
The second matter was the method of Constellations bestowing power upon their apostles to aid them.
“It’s the most realistic matter. The reason the Tower is holding out is largely due to that. If possible, please lend a little more strength.”
“That’s obvious, but isn’t it impossible to completely block the Outer Gods with the power of apostles?”
“Yes. They’re just holding out. That’s why I’m going to tell you the method I came up with.”
“A method devised by the administrator.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Tell me quickly. Isn’t time running out?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Tuning.
Even Tuning couldn’t help but feel burdened by being the center of attention of the Supreme Gods.
Tuning took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“It’s to banish all the Outer Gods to this place, the Divine Realm.”
“……What?”
“By doing so, the gods will be able to face the Outer Gods with their full power without losing their dignity.”
“Do you know what you’re saying right now?”
Banish the Outer Gods to the Divine Realm.
Aside from how that’s even possible, there was one big problem.
“I came all the way here trusting that human’s words, but in the end, you’re saying we should move the danger of the Tower to the Divine Realm.”
The gods rose from their seats.
To endanger the Divine Realm to save the Tower. Does that even make sense?
Eventually, the vicinity of the Divine Assembly, where the gods gathered, became so noisy that even Se-un couldn’t control it.
“Odin, don’t just stand there and answer. That absurd…….”
“I agree.”
“What?”
Odin nodded first.
“Isn’t the administrator right? It’s the only way to eliminate the source of destruction while preserving our full power.”
“But, if we fail…….”
“Hahahaha! I agree too! Finally, I can crush those guys with my own hands!”
Next was Satan after Odin.
Even Tiamat, who had been silent, nodded, and even Ra, the main god of Heliopolis, nodded.
Still, they didn’t have a majority.
It was Satan’s provocation that turned the situation around.
“What, are you all scared?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a chance to crush them with our full power! Doesn’t refusing mean you’re not confident in winning even with your full power?”
“That’s absurd!”
“That’s a statement that ignores Dilmun! Take it back immediately!”
“Then just agree. Empty wagons make the most noise!”
“Ha! What are you talking about! We’re just being cautious! The stars of Dilmun are always ready to face the Outer Gods!”
“Hahahaha! Good. Then isn’t it decided?”
Public opinion gradually solidified in favor.
Since the situation had come to this, they had no choice but to ask about the method.
Even if all the gods agreed, it would be meaningless if a method to banish the Outer Gods to the Divine Realm wasn’t determined.
“Actually, I need your help with that too.”
“Tell me.”
“What our Administration Office can do is grant permission for banishment. We cannot exert physical force. Therefore, what’s needed are two things.”
Tuning raised two fingers and folded one.
“The first is a passage to banish the Outer Gods to the Divine Realm.”
“We’ll take care of that.”
Odin rose from his seat.
“We’ll request Heimdall’s help. Bifrost [the rainbow bridge connecting Midgard and Asgard in Norse mythology] alone won’t be enough… I’ll connect the roots of Yggdrasil [the world tree in Norse mythology] to the Tower.”
“Yggdrasil? Wouldn’t Asgard be the first to be in danger?”
“Isn’t now the time to unite our strength?”
“……Thank you, Odin.”
“Even so, it’s impossible with Asgard’s power alone. Asgard grows by consuming divinity, so unless everyone lends their strength, it’s impossible to grow the roots enough to wrap around the Tower.”
“We will help.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“I’ll ask all the gods of the Sanctuary for cooperation.”
Tuning’s first condition was met in an instant.
Next, the second.
Tuning folded his second finger and continued.
“Secondly…… we need someone to exert the physical force to forcibly push the Outer Gods into the passage from the Tower.”
“Ahem.”
“That’s the problem.”
It was barely enough to withstand the Outer Gods’ attacks in the Tower, so there was no way to exert such physical force to drive them out.
That’s what all the gods thought, when Se-un stepped forward.
“I’ll take care of this.”
“You? You were a player, but now you’re a god. How can you interfere with the Tower?”
“Ah, I’ll explain that. Gods cannot directly interfere with the Tower.”
However, there was a reason for this.
It was the origin of that divinity.
The gods each possessed tremendous myths and legends, causing an enormous overload the moment they crossed into the Tower.
However, the myths that Se-un possessed were all built up in the Tower.
“In simple terms, a player who ascends to Constellation status through the Tower can directly interfere with the Tower.”
“Hmph.”
“Of course, there are limitations. They can be expelled at any time by the Administration Office’s judgment, and it’s impossible to interfere with trials or players.”
“Even so, a god can directly interfere with the Tower.”
As a result, Se-un was able to descend into the Tower with his current power and block the Outer Gods.
No, beyond blocking them, he might even be able to completely banish the Outer Gods as Tuning suggested.
“Is it possible? Even if you can directly descend and interfere, it will be difficult to banish all the Outer Gods in the Tower alone.”
Se-un nodded.
In a situation where time was of the essence, no matter how urgently he moved alone, he couldn’t stop all the Outer Gods.
While blocking one floor, another floor, or rather, several other floors, would collapse.
“I can do it.”
However, Se-un wasn’t alone.
He didn’t expect this situation to arise, but he had built up connections while climbing the Tower.
If he borrowed their strength.
He might be able to save the entire Tower without giving up a single floor.
“I understand.”
“We have no choice but to believe now.”
“Everyone, follow me. We need to grow the roots of Yggdrasil immediately.”
“To think I’d get to see Asgard after Olympus. My eyes are feasting for the first time in a while.”
The gods began to move.
However, there were those who didn’t follow even though Odin took the lead. It was the forces of evil gods centered around Satan.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to participate.
They thought that if they followed Odin, they would make Odin and Asgard, as well as all the gods who followed, uneasy.
Therefore, they were trying to discuss ways to support them in ways other than creating a passage.
“Tiamat. Won’t you help?”
“Krrr…….”
Odin stepped in front of Tiamat.
He extended his hand to the infamous evil dragon who had led the world to destruction.
“Although we were divided, we were temporary comrades.”
At that moment, the gods following Odin unknowingly held their breath.
Odin’s actions were no different from putting his hand in the lion’s mouth.
The moment Tiamat thought Odin was being presumptuous and opened her mouth, one of Odin’s arms would surely be swallowed whole.
In such a touch-and-go situation.
“……Lead the way.”
Tiamat spread her wings wide.
It was a true moment when the forces of good and evil joined hands.
All the gods who had gathered there left.
Only two remained.
Se-un and Tuning.
‘I have to do something…….’
Se-un began to prioritize.
He was thinking of asking for help from the connections he had made in the Tower, but even so, he was short on strength.
He felt like he wanted to divide his body into several pieces, even if it meant splitting his power.
At that time.
“Player Jung Se-un.”
“Ah, I’ll be right there. First, can you tell me about the situation in the Tower? The priorities…….”
“It’s not that, it seems like reinforcements have arrived.”
“Reinforcements?”
Woo-oong-
A long door was created next to Tuning.
Two people came out from there.
“Kuo-oooo! Finally! Finally, this body has become a Dragon God!!”
“Heh, is this the Divine Realm? It’s quite charming, isn’t it?”
Red Dragon, Kashallakas.
Sword Demon, Francis Hamel.
Two players who ascended to the divine throne as players, using the Tower as their gateway, appeared.
