Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

Chapter 95: Black Magic (2)



As soon as Moros accepted this request, a huge message window opened in front of him. Sending messages from the upper floors to the lower floors might have consumed a lot of energy, but in the opposite case, the tower itself provided this energy, in a sense, it was as if the users or players were fed by the tower.

It was precisely for this reason that Ariel managed to send a message to Moros from the 20th floor.

As soon as Moros saw the message, he frowned and became angry, even he could not understand what was happening, but he managed to think of something with Ariel's words.

When Moros saw the way the others were looking at him, he switched the message window around and then enlarged it so that it was visible to everyone, making them all, including James, worried:

"HELP NEEDED!"

"5TH FLOOR ABOUT TO FALL!"

"WE'RE HOLDING ON AS LONG AS WE CAN!"

"THE CHURCH OF THE NIGHT IS HELPING AS MUCH AS IT CAN, BUT THE NUMBER OF PRIESTS IS LIMITED, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PRIESTS FOR THE WHOLE FLOOR!"

"MASTER MOROS, PLEASE HELP, SOMEHOW!"

These messages, one after the other, seemed to frighten everyone.

When Moros managed to gather his thoughts, he tried to connect to the big screens in the banquet hall, the palace inside the palace of Mount Olympus, he had to watch Ariel and see what was happening with his own eyes.

He couldn't do it though, it was as if something was blocking his ability to watch.

"What's the matter Moros, won't you connect?" Erebus suddenly asked and Moros, hearing this, answered Erebus by saying "It is not that I am not connecting, Father, I can't connect, something is blocking me,".

When Erebus and the Nyx next to him heard these words, they tried to connect to the screen and saw that even they could barely get through this strange barrier. Still, the fact that they were able to get through the barrier was a plus for them because Ariel was now visible.

With James by their side, the two were able to connect to Ariel through the Chaos Guild infrastructure, watching her from above.

When Moros saw Ariel, he realised that what had happened was very serious and then said, "Calm down and go to the 5th floor and show us the situation, we somehow managed to connect."

As soon as Ariel heard this, she said, "Luro, send me to the 5th floor, please." She entered the white portal that had suddenly formed and the screens began to show Ariel on the 5th floor.

Ariel looked around and saw Theseus, obviously worried.

"THESEUS!" Ariel suddenly shouted, and Theseus, hearing her, rushed to her side and asked, "Ahil told me you went to the 20th floor, I still can't contact my father, I thought he wasn't paying attention because of the feast, but my messages seem to be blocked, it's not the same with you, is it?"

Ariel shook her head at these words and then said, "Moros and the others are watching us, report back."

Theseus let out a deep, relieved breath and then began to speak:

"We have good news. First of all, we were able to identify this virus, or rather, we are now completely sure that it is not a virus. It is a black magic that carries deep hatred and greed as if Bephomet and Mammon themselves had cast this black magic, madam."

After these words, he paused and then said, "The bad news is that this black magic comes from the frozen lands in the north. The exact location is the summit of the frozen mountain, which is almost 7,000 metres high and completely frozen. It is incredibly difficult to climb, it is completely covered with black magic too."

He then fell silent and waited for a few seconds, then leaned in close to Ariel and said worriedly:

"And there's something else we suspect. Like it was on the 9th floor, we're worried that there's a remnant of the Fallen God that attacked James or someone similar. Only Baphomet and Mammon themselves can spread such hatred and greed, and outside of them, the Fallen Gods.

If this is indeed a Fallen God and not just a black magic spell, we are in great trouble, we cannot kill them unless we get help from the upper floors, our power will not be enough."

Ariel's face looked devastated at those words.

"We can't get help from the upper floors, they can't even see this place, they can't even send a message, there's no way they can open a portal and come here, and unless there's someone who can override the emotions of hatred and greed, we won't be able to do anything. Somehow we have to save the connection to the outside."

Theseus paused at Ariel's words and after a few seconds said, "James can do it. My father said he had a barrier protecting his mind, umm...just like a spell or a talent? He'll be back in five days, and if he doesn't do it alone, if he hugs someone or carries someone through the portal, they can come here."

Ariel's eyes instantly lit up and she said, "Of course! I never thought of that! Very clever, Theseus, well done!"

Still, the real question was reflected to the gods who were now at the feast, who would go back with James? After all, the higher they climbed, the weaker they became the lower they descended, and there were only one or two people in all of Olympus who had not passed the 100th floor.

All eyes suddenly turned to Nemesis. Although Nemesis was not the youngest girl, only her younger sister Eris was just like her, they both hadn't climbed through the 100th floor and everyone knew that Eris acted like a lunatic, so there was only one choice.

"I'll go, my mind is not in such a good state, after all I don't have talents like these, but at least I can save someone, after all, once the source is gone, the dark magic will dissipate, and everything will return to normal, we'll just have to be quick." Nemesis suddenly said, after which all eyes turned to James.

After all, James himself had the final say in this matter, what he would say would perhaps change the fate of the 5th floor.
