Upon hearing an unexpected message, Yeon-woo widened his eyes in surprise and looked up at the sky. Even though the world was full of shadows he had released, he could see large movements in the midst of darkness. Then, what appeared before that was...

『Hey son, that's...?』

It looked the same as the 'Night' seen in the myth of Kronos. It was a wormhole with the other world beginning to form in the center of the tower.

[Hidden stage, 'Demonic Sea' is shaking a lot!]

[The 'Demonic Sea' causes a rough tsunami and is trying to reverse the flow to each floor of the tower.]

[The 'Demonic Sea' wants to invade the tower.]

[The otherworld Gods are trying to invade via the pathway created by the 'Demonic Sea'.]

Fa...th...er...

Fa...th...er...

Su..mm...on...ed...

Dim-witted… Sm...ell...

As the Black King gradually increased in size, the 'Demonic Sea', which had been hanging around the edge of the tower, began to move in full-scale.

The 'Demonic Sea' was originally created when one of the Eight Gods of Disorder, the Lord of the Pole, was eventually killed when he entered the tower due to his curiosity, and his energy was dispersed. Considering that 'Night' honored the Black King and prayed for him, it might have been very natural for him to react simply by expressing his will.

Numerous tentacles emerged out of the wormhole. They were beings jumbled up with countless types and did not have a certain shape. The ghosts of the beginning of time, randomly exuding their thoughts because they did not have a sound mind, were trying to crawl to the outside world. Just with the determination to somehow wake him up from his 'dream', they shouted the name of the dim-witted father they were looking for.

'Is this what he meant when he said he was going to test me?' Yeon-woo clenched his teeth. It was true he currently had the upper hand. He had the domain of All For One, which could control the overall system of the tower.

The Black King was forcibly trapped by the Tower despite his reputation and divinity. That being said, the Black King couldn’t wake up if Yeon-woo didn’t side with him.

However, the problem was that most of Yeon-woo's power originated from the Black King. From the godly status associated with death to the three casts, it was all bestowed by the Black King. Thus, Yeon-woo was basically no different from being on the leash of the Black King. It meant that the Black King could recover his strength by using Yeon-woo as long as he 'made up his mind' to do so.

However, the Black King did not do so right away. Part of it could be because the Heavenly Demon was still watching from the Changgong Library, but the Black King seemed to regard this 'dream' as entertainment. He had simply forced 'Night' out to test how Yeon-woo would react. Yeon-woo's reaction was nothing more than an interesting play to him. However, his prank was like a disaster for others.

[All the gods on the 98th floor are shocked!]

[The demons of the 98th floor say death is the only thing awaiting them if they’re trapped there!]

Of course, the gods and demons couldn’t help but be astonished. To make matters worse, they were already afraid of the fact that the Black King was trying to regain his body, and also of the fact that the darkness climbed up a little towards the heavenly world. And now, the familiars of the Black King were appearing here one after another as well. For this reason, they had no choice but to cower in fear.

They knew nothing at all about the otherworld gods. Moreover, considering that they had just been in a war with Allforone until just a moment ago and had a squabble amongst themselves, saying they would be the one and only god... It was indeed a chaotic mess.

[A few gods are trying to escape from the 98th floor!]

[Many gods are staring at you with agitated feelings!]

[A majority of demons are urgently discussing how to come up with countermeasures!]

[An extremely small number of demons are seeking a way to use this opportunity in their favor!]

...

[Some unaffiliated gods and demons are bearing in mind switching sides.]

...

[Some gods are suspecting that this might be the 'end of things' as prophesied by the revelations.]

[Some demons say that the 'end of things' described in the revelations will not happen as it is not time yet.]

…

[Vimalacitra is excited by the fact that a bigger war will come. He is looking forward to your reaction.]

[Cernunnos is curious about the new transformation of the tower.]

[A message has arrived from Metatron.]

[Message: A while ago, part of the Book of Enoch that we possess changed. It means that a divine revelation has been passed down. Is it true that you viewed the legends of Kronos…the king of gods?]

[A message has arrived from Metatron.]

[Message: If so, then I believe you know the truth now. Where your father originated from, and where your mother is descended from. Time and space, you were born with both of them.]

[A message has arrived from Metatron.]

[Message: So, I'd like to ask you. Which side are you going to take? Where would you put your identity? Is it 'Night'? Or is it 'Day'?]

[A message has arrived from Baal.]

[Message: The cookies you ate at the tea party were made with the recipe that your grandfather left behind when he was still alive.]

'I am not sure about other things, but I hope you at least know that.' No other messages came, so it seemed as if Baal was only trying to say that.

[Metatron, the celestial scribe of , is waiting for your answer.]

[Baal, the head of , is waiting for your answer.]

'Day' and 'Night', the war which began from the creation of the universe, continued to this day even after such a long time. Perhaps...

'Metatron and Baal, who were companions of the Heavenly Demon, are in the heavenly world… They might’ve been aiming to be in their positions coordinating the other gods and demons since a long time ago.'

However, that thought didn't last long.

At the summons of the Black King, the otherworld gods tried to reveal themselves. Starting with the very small ones, the bigger ones gradually forced themselves into the wormhole. The presence of creatures who were on the Outer God level or the Eight Gods of Disorder began to be detected.

[Metatron, the celestial scribe of 'Malach', is asking you to quickly respond!]

[Baal, the head of 'L'Infernal', is urging you to respond!]

『Son.』At that time, Kronos whispered to Yeon-woo.『I don't know when I said this before, but do you remember?』

Kronos had a determined expression, but he was faintly smiling.『I am different from the Heavenly Demon who abandoned his own son. I don't know why he had to leave Vivasvat as he was, but I will support you no matter what choice you make. Don't even think about anything related to your grandfather. Just do what you can.』

Suddenly, Yeon-woo felt like he was relieved of his impatience and nervousness. He no longer felt like he was standing here alone. That fact alone gave him a little peace of mind in one corner of his heart.

When he first climbed the tower, he had to remain vigilant and look at everything keenly because he was alone, but that was no longer the case.

Therefore, Yeon-woo was even more confident in his choice. "Father, I won't give up on Jeong-woo either. We should return to the times of the past…like back when we were young.”

『Alright. Let's do that.』

Listening to Kronos’ laughter, Yeon-woo began to answer Metatron’s and Baal’s questions.

[The Black King’s shadow has made a decision!]

Yeon-woo looked toward the gods and demons on the 98th floor who were watching him in confusion.

[The domain, All For One, has been activated.]

[The system will execute the command according to the command word. All laws will be newly operated.]

[All the settings of the Gate of the Heavenly World, the 98th floor, will be disabled.]

[The seal has been released!]

[The ban has been lifted!]

...

[The fault line has disappeared.]

The path between heaven and earth is collapsing!]

...

[The heavenly world and the lower realms are connected.]

* * *

It was then that the Tower faced a new turning point.

[Many gods are confused by the sudden disappearance of fault lines.]

[A few gods are looking at the lower realms stained with darkness with fearful eyes.]

[Many demons look at the beings of 'Night' warily.]

[An extremely small number of demons have different opinions on how to respond.]

Despite the disappearance of the path between heaven and earth that the gods and demons wished for, they were not able to immediately make a move. They had always been blocked by the wall known as Allforone, so they were dazed at the freedom they were suddenly given. However, more than that, it was because the darkness encroaching on the lower realms caused the otherworld gods to have high-alert. In addition, they could not get used to the change in the tides of the war. But their wandering didn't last long.

[Metatron, the celestial scribe of , declares that he will lead all the archangels and angels under him and declare war.]

[Michael takes the lead following Metatron's order.]

[Although Raphael doesn't like the tower, he mumbles and says that he cannot stand by and watch society collapse.]

[Uriel announces that he will show you the light that can reach justice.]

...

According to Metatron's instructions, Malach began to step up to the plate. Many gods paid close attention to Malach's actions, as the society which had never declared war first while pursuing absolute good and balance. And they weren’t the only ones.

[Baal, the head of , takes a bite of a cookie and stands on the frontlines without saying anything!]

[Vassago is bellowing, saying a true demon would never shrink away from something like this.]

[Marbas laughs, saying he had been curious about the otherworld, so he could now explore it.]

...

[The withdrawn 'East Demon Army' joined the ranks of .]

[Agares laughs in a voice filled with madness.]

[Agares' message is announced throughout the Tower.]

[Message: Those souls! Cha Yeon-woo and Cha Jeong-woo's souls are mine for the taking! So don't you dare covet it! Darkness! I'll take what's mine from your hands!]

[Agares' message will be announced throughout the tower.]

[Message: So, everyone, fuck off—]

[Agares' message was temporarily suspended due to the votings of the archangels and demon kings.]

[Agares screams at the nonsense.]

[Armageddon has begun!]

L'Infernal also participated, as well as Metatron and Baal. As soon as the mediators and coordinators of the heavenly world made their moves, public opinion had no choice but to lean sharply to one side. Armageddon, the final war which was said to happen only at the end of things as stated in the Book of Enoch, was breaking out.

['Day (Eros)' is gradually revealing the light that has been buried in the long stream of time.]

It was safe to say that it was a reenactment of the old legend, which few now remembered after the Tower was built.

['Day (Eros)' and 'Night (Nyx)' are clashing!]

Grooooarrrr- The gods and demons blocked the entry of the otherworld gods from within the light that shone down to defeat the darkness that was greedily flicking its tongue.

[The Black King is very happy with the new event.]

[The Black King is looking forward to seeing what kind of entertainment his shadow will provide.]

And in the shaking world of the Tower…

['Day (Eros)' is waiting for player Cha Yeon-woo's answer.]

[Player Cha Yeon-woo has answered.]

[The answer sheet that player Cha Yeon-woo has chosen is 'Night (Nyx)'.]
