Chapter 375: Final Destination (6)
The 100th floor Gi-Gyu thought about the announcement the system had made. It said that this is the 100th floor.
Suddenly, realization struck him, and goosebumps covered his body. As if a malfunctioning robot, he mechanically turned around, noticing that everyone was silently waiting for him to say something.
I see Gi-Gyu mumbled. So thats how it is.
He finally realized the conditions Kronos and Gaia wanted. Gi-Gyu used to think he knew much and that things were going his way, but he had missed something big.
Something big and unexpected.
Earth is the 100th floor, said Gi-Gyu.
What? Go Hyung-Chul gasped.
What are you talking about? Old Man Hwang asked.
Ranker Kim Gi-Gyu? Sung-Hoon looked confused.
Gi-Gyu looked at those around him. The system had announced that he had entered the 100th floor, and he was seemingly the only one who had heard that.
They dont know anything Gi-Gyu saw that they had no idea what was happening, but he understood everything. Or, more specifically, his brain worked quickly to accept the findings. Thankfully, several others seemed to be catching on too.
So thats how it is, huh? Lou muttered.
I understand now, El mumbled.
With a solemn countenance, they looked at Gi-Gyu. Old Man Hwang approached Gi-Gyu and asked, What are you talking about?
Oh Tae-Shik, who had reunited with his father, also walked up to Gi-Gyu. I want an explanation too.
Gi-Gyu looked at Lou, El, and the rest. Everyone stared back at him.
This is Gi-Gyu trailed off.
Since Gi-Gyu seemed hesitant, Lou explained, This is the 100th floor of the Tower.
The 100th floor? Oh Tae-Shik asked in shock.
What are you talking about? Okay, so we entered a black hole and arrived here. And here is Seoul. Right? Go Hyung-Chul asked.
No matter how strange it might sound, they were definitely in Seoul. Lou didnt speak further and instead turned to look at Gi-Gyu. He felt that Gi-Gyu should be the one explaining the situation.
With a nod, Gi-Gyu began, Gaia created Earth after the other dimension had perished. She gained Gods powers, Order and Chaos, and used them to create this place after absorbing the essence of all the other dimensions.
Fine, so what does that have to do with Oh Tae-Shik mumbled in confusion, but Old Man Hwang had seemingly understood.
Ah! Old Man Hwang exclaimed. You mean
Gi-Gyu nodded. Gaia belongs to the Tower. And she created Earth.
I get it now, Old Man Hwang whispered.
Ignoring him, Gi-Gyu turned toward the N Seoul Tower and continued, Im saying that Earth was created inside the Tower.
***
Because of what Kronos had done, Gaia had become a part of the Tower. She had taken God and Chaos powers and then absorbed the essence of all the dimensions. After betraying Kronos, she had created Earthher ideal world.
Gi-Gyu had known for a long time that Gaia belonged to the Tower, so why didnt he realize this sooner?
Meanwhile, Gi-Gyu turned toward Oh Tae-Shik, Lou, and El and asked, You guys can all feel it, right?
The three of them nodded in silence. Gi-Gyu turned to look at the top of the N Seoul Tower.
Kronos and Lee Sun-Ho are there, said Gi-Gyu. They werent moving and were looking down at Gi-Gyu and the rest. Was the fight between them over? Did they decide to work together?
I think they are waiting for us Well, for me. As soon as the players arrive, well move, Gi-Gyu ordered. He knew monsters would appear as soon as he got near the N Seoul Tower. The others might not feel it, but Gi-Gyu could sense countless space cracks near the tower.
Currently, the 100th floor was linked to every floor in the Tower. The flames had killed about all the monsters that had appeared on this floor; if Kronos and Lee Sun-Ho desired, they could summon all the monsters in the Tower here at any moment.
The flame will go out soon, Gi-Gyu guessed. He suspected that Kronos and Lee Sun-Ho had made this flame, which would disappear shortly. After all, it was just a salute to celebrate the end.
Sung-Hoon quickly gathered the necessary players. Theyre all here, Ranker Kim Gi-Gyu.
Turning toward Lou and El, Gi-Gyu asked, Are you guys ready?
Haa Lou sighed.
Of course, El answered.
When Gi-Gyu looked at Lou, he smirked and explained, Just how many times are you going to ask us if were ready? Weve been ready for a long time. Lets just end this now.
After a long time, the familiar swords, one black and one white, appeared in Gi-Gyus hands. Gi-Gyu turned to look at the N Seoul Tower again.
Kronos and Lee Sun-Ho are over there.
The man with the Scythe of Time and the man who uses double swords just like him were at the top of the N Seoul Tower looking down.
Our eyes met just now.
Gi-Gyu nodded to Lee Sun-Ho before he ordered, Well get going now. I cant take care of you all, so please try not to die.
Gi-Gyus shoes began glowing. Hermes condition had improved a bit, as Gi-Gyus connection to Eden had returned.
Good luck, said Gi-Gyu before disappearing.
***
It has finally begun, a feminine voice from inside the dark barrier mumbled.
Another voice, a male this time, asked, When are you going to go?
Its not time yet.
Some young girl asked in annoyance, Please let us go.
When did we ever restrain you? You can leave at any time, but if you go there Things wont end well for you. Were leaving soon, so you can do whatever you want then. The feminine voice couldnt be any calmer.
Next, someone older but with a vibrant feminine voice asked, Is this what youve been waiting for?
The barrier disappeared, revealing six figures. Soo-Jung answered, Yes, you already know the answer. You know my fate.
Soo-Jung continued, I wont get involved until my pupil makes his decision.
Beside Soo-Jung were Baal, Lim Hye-Sook, and Shin Yoo-Bin. Behind them were two women who whispered.
Oppa
Gi-Gyu
They were trapped inside a clear dome barrier surrounded by a flame.
