The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 128, Spiral God Tower (New Arc)
Two months passed and I was announced by my mother that the Spiral God Tower had formed itself and was ready to be challenged by me. At last... Wynox, we'll see you soon. I'll make sure you lose in my hands!
Before I leave, I say goodbye to everyone there because I'm going to go there alone for a few months. I say goodbye to them in the Galactic organization.
"Nakano, take care of yourself" Kurumi said before I left,
"All right." I replied,
"Make sure you can survive there.",
"Defeat those 5 residents!",
"Don't lose, your son is here waiting" said Artoria suddenly all looking at Artoria with a sinister look,
"alright then. You guys are too worried. I'll be fine. I'm sure.".
Sei came forward towards me and handed me one eye patch.
"This. wear! Your identity will be revealed as the owner of the eyes later and it can be serious!".
I accepted it and smiled at him.
"Thank you, Sei." I said as I stroked his head.
I looked at the others and said goodbye.
"In that case, I'll go first" I said.
......................
This was a little explanation about the Spiral God Tower tower:
—First of all every year there are only a few people who challenge there, every type of expert in one thing, Martial, magic, weapons, and others. Even so, when in the tower later we do not fight together but we fight alone with our respective goals. When inside, there will be 5 fighting floors and 5 additional floors to rest so there are 10 floors in total. The 5 additional floors that aim for the resting place will only last 3 hours and inside there also the challenger must survive like in the wild. There was only a wilderness full of trees and animals of course and low to high level monsters. The challengers will not see another challenger because they are sent to a different dimension. When the challenger has been at the top of the tower, according to rumors, the person will become a god or something with a higher position or someone says all the challenger's requests will be granted.
...----------------...
I went walking towards a large portal where there were many people there as well. I stared at him tensely before exhaling and went inside slowly and nervously and tensely.
"Bye bye!",
"Bye!",
"Goodbye!".
Everyone said it when I came in. The voice disappeared every time I closed my eyes because of the glare. His voice was no longer heard, and I opened my eyes to find a very large tower standing before me. I came out of the portal and was fascinated with the tower. I looked left and right at the many people who had just teleported here. Everyone is talking or chatting or saying goodbye and so on. The chosen ones.. I don't think the challengers are just the chosen ones... Will there be tests that show that some people can and do not?
Suddenly there was a voice announcing something loudly.
"Test.. test... test.." said the voice, I don't know who he is but I guess he is the organizer?
"alright.. Etto. attendees. The entrance here is 4 directions where it is 4 cardinal directions. Please register yourself.".
A list? I followed what the voice said. A list? Whatdoes thatmean? This is a tower built by nature itself why should there be this kind of thing? What is the purpose of the sound?
After a few hours I was finally able to register myself as well. Queue length.. I saw everyone sitting or doing something. I feel like a separate person from the association here.
"Alright." said the voice again.
Nice sound! You came at the right time!
2400 people?! Is that the one who signed up?!
"Then the test will begin soon.".
Deh.. is that all?!
"Then everything..begin to eliminate each other!" said that voice,
"... Eeee... What were we told? How do I eliminate it?" ask someone there, please,
"Hm... Etto...".
Don't you know?!
"Well, here it is. get your enemy hurt or faint or. die.",
".. And. when did it start..?",
"T-ka-rang!".
All of them fell silent and went straight to war with each other in a short period of time. My plan? Trying to avoid the fight at all costs. Because. I'm afraid of losing control and making a fuss.
Suddenly someone came to attack me from behind. I jumped to the side past him and kicking his back neck made him faint. I descended to the ground and saw the fight there until it qualified while hiding the air of existence. And as a result, I managed to get into the requirement that there should only be 300 challengers left with one person defeated. Well at least I'm saving my energy more. This is only the beginning, the easy beginning. The real battle will start inside.
"Okay to 300 participants, please enter and good luck.that's if you are successful."
We all went in with different doors and when I came in, I couldn't see the other challengers. There, I looked left and right before looking in front of myself and was shocked. My first opponent on the first floor was a figure I knew...
My mother stood there smiling with a sword.
"Nakano's.. You made it in!" he said,
"Mother!".
I was about to run towards him but my mother stopped my movement.
"Son, focus.",
"Eh?", though?",
"Mother is not here to talk to you, but as your first enemy.",
"No. lied, right? I've just been.enthusiastic..",
"Unfortunately that's so.. But take it easy, I'll stay in that realm, remember?".
The moment I was initially discouraged, I now saw hope again.
"Yes.it's true!",
"Because of that. Now, show me your skills, son! Show your mother this! Kill me!",
"Yes! I'm gonna kill you, mom.".
