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

Chapter 96: Last 4 Day



"Are you telling me that the only person in all of Olympus whose life could be in danger and who is likely to die is the woman I have just fallen in love with?" James suddenly said, and even though it made Nemesis happy and her family proud, it was clear that this was the truth.

"It's our only option," Nemesis said, the seriousness in her gaze saying it all.

James stood where he was for a few seconds and then said a little playfully, "I mean, okay, if I tried to stop you, you'd knock me out and force me to come with you, I should make it clear that I'm scared."

Nemesis smiled at these words and then gently held James by the cheek and said, "You know that no one else can come. Something is blocking the others and preventing teleportation. Look at Moros; he is still busy trying. That means that only the lower levels can go back with the energy of the ticket. That leaves just the two of us, me and Eris, but there's no need to jeopardise her."

This made sense to James. After all, the ticket had energy from the tower. After all, Chaos had created the ticket in this way, which meant that the ticket that could only take one person could perhaps take a second person, one of the people whose energy was not so high.

James shook his head and then said, "Well, even if I don't fully approve of this, I'm not someone who can stop you, I'm neither your mother nor your father, but since you are my future, I have to ask you to be careful."

Nemesis's eyes lit up a little when she heard the word 'my future' and she suddenly latched onto James's lips, James of course tried to calm herself down and after a few seconds, he was hugging Nemesis.

"Cough...Sorry." James said suddenly, seeming to avoid the moments when Erebus and Nyx were trying hard not to laugh.

"That's more like an excuse to train, James, no more rest, we must leave the feast," Chronos said suddenly, and what he said was quite true, if there was a chance of encountering a Fallen God, it would be quite dangerous.

James shook his head, he hadn't expected to leave a feast he had only been at for an hour so easily, he hadn't even rested yet, but he had to start training again.

"I'm sorry James, we've put so much effort into this feast, it's just my stupidity that we didn't realise," Nyx said suddenly, all eyes turned to the great goddess and her sad expression was visible to everyone.

James smiled when he heard those words and then said "150th floor, my lady, if you could see it all you should be working as a creator in Chaos' place, you may be a goddess but you are not an all-seeing creator."

His words seemed to comfort Nyx strangely. With that, the feast was over for James, Nemesis and the others would remain inside the feast while Chronos and James would train.

So the pair left the banqueting hall and entered another room within the palace.

Once James had changed into something more comfortable, he stood before Chronos and pulled out the wooden sword he kept in his inventory.

"I was hoping we could work on my control over the time element," James suddenly said, but Chronos' response was not at all what he had expected.

Chronos slumped to the floor and then sat cross-legged, gesturing for James to sit down, James re-inventoried the wooden sword and looked intently at the old man before him.

"I'm going to use the time element, all the time, no sleep, no distractions, I'm going to slow down time here as much as possible, since we're on the 150th floor I can slow it down twice, so a day will be 58 hours.

I'm going to get pretty tired as a result of this because I want you to know that stopping time in a field is strangely more difficult than slowing it down, so the element of time is a precious thing."

James had begun to listen carefully when Chronos suddenly said these words, though he seemed quite confused.

"You're telling me that stopping time is easier than slowing it down. How is that possible?" James suddenly asked, and Chronos' answer worked quite well:

"Look, James. Time is a straight line, as long as there are people to regulate destiny, this line will not be broken, and that is why Moros and the others did not know what you were trying to say because as long as I allow it, as long as I claim the time of this tower, destiny will continue to be written.

This means that I can stop time in the same way that I can stop destinies with the tower itself, but what we call slowing it down, especially when it is done to multiple targets, depends entirely on the energy of the person."

"So you are saying that stopping time is done with the energy from the tower due to the law of time, but slowing it down is done with personal energy."

"Exactly," Chronos replied.

"And why are you choosing to slow down time right now instead of stopping it?" asked James, a little awkwardly.

"Because we need to familiarise you with the time element as much as possible. You may have gained the element, but you can't use it to its full potential unless you use it or get used to it. Think about your aura. The more you used aura and fire, the more they merged and without you realising it, your aura turned into fire, a precious fire, like the 8 sacred fires."

"I understand, but since I don't know exactly what the 8 sacred fires are, what you're trying to say doesn't make much sense," James said.

Hearing this, Chronos shook his head and said, "You can think of it as one of the 4 main forces in the creation of the tower, the fire element you use has its qualities and now you have the time element, Chaos must plan many things for you."

James seemed even more confused, but he really couldn't question what had happened, he had to start training again.
