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

Faster than anyone else, Chao was already making his way through the central part of the city, while others were just beginning to set off.

He had already made his way quite nimbly to the southern part of the city, and by the time he was halfway to the south, he had already left thousands of corpses of demon beasts behind him.

Chao was really angry. Even Hyperion himself, who had created him, had never seen this small and, to him, cute little Gryphon so angry. It was as if the anger had seeped into his eyes, and they were veined and his pupils had turned a mesmerizing crimson.

So far he had managed to kill almost four dozen ancient beasts, even if they were not very powerful, and that included such superior beings as ancient demons, ancient mongooses, and ancient shadow leopards.

Chao himself could recognize the exact location of the person who had done this evil, the person who had injured his only student, he could feel that person. The bloodless bastard was waiting in the southernmost part of the city, in one of the areas where the troops were being trained.

Chao's target was there, just like James, Ariel and Bai Fang.

The only difference was that Chao was the only one and he had a huge amount of energy, he didn't need to do any nonsense like not wasting it.

He had three ancient demons in front of him, as usual, and it was clear that this trio, James and Ariel, were far, far stronger than the ancient demons that were in front of the Bai Fang group. However, this wasn't even something Chao had to pay attention to.

The only reason the ancient demon they had fought in the first place had pushed him so hard was because Chao hadn't been trying to kill it outright, after all, he had complied with James' wishes in case of any danger, and if James had ordered him to kill the ancient demon, that battle wouldn't have lasted a minute.

That was because the three ancient demons now standing before him were many times more powerful than the being he had fought in the first place.

Chao took only one step and instantly appeared in front of the leftmost of the three.

"Gotcha," Chao said suddenly, and with that, he grabbed the ancient demon's head with his right claw and closed his claw abruptly.

The claw sliced through the ancient demon's skull like a knife through a cake. The ancient demon's body fell to the ground the moment Chao released his claw, and the other two ancient demons stopped moving out of fear.

The two remaining ancient demons could only think that if they moved, they would die. But even if they didn't move, they would still die. After all, the holy beasts were called "holy" not because they were created by gods or goddesses.

They were called holy because they were each incredibly powerful.

Beings like the holy Crimson Bird, created by Helios and currently residing on the 60th floor, were given their holy nickname because literally, no one on that floor was more powerful than them.

Crimson Bird, is the image of fire and beauty, the embodiment of freedom and humility. Maybe not a phoenix, but certainly the most perfect creation of the god Helion.

Without waiting a second, Chao looked at the ancient demons standing next to him, frozen with fear, and said, "Pathetic." before cutting their necks.

After that, he continued full speed ahead.

This is how things were in the easternmost part of the empire and the largest city in the empire. James had cleared the eastern part of the city, Chao had cleared the central part of the city, and Ariel and Bai Fang had cleared and purified the western part of the city.

In the capital of the Empire, something else was happening.

Cordelia was directly under Selene's command, and every noble in the imperial court was taking orders directly from Selene herself.

Everything was simple. Whatever they did, however long they did it, with whatever kind of unit or crew of soldiers, they had to be useful to the war that was going on. Read exclusive chapters at empire

That meant that Selene was receiving dozens of pieces of information every minute from all the gods and goddesses watching them from upstairs, who were now desperate to help, and relaying that information to the troops through Cordelia and the other nobles.

Of the thousands of army men James had sent back to the imperial capital, the ones who could be considered leaders were the ones who appeared before Selene and told her what had happened.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After a brief investigation by Selene, James and the others were found to be in good condition. This was very good news, as the war hadn't even really started and only the powers were fighting each other constantly, and losing James would be signing their death warrant.

"Great Goddess...how is Mr. Umbra doing? He sent us right away, we wanted to stay there but after what we saw we realized we had to escape, please...please tell us." said one of the company leaders. The bitterness on his face was evident, as was his respect for the person he saw as his enemy and rival.

When Selene heard these words, she immediately remembered that it was one of those who had identified James as her rival. Being aware of many things in the tower, and now receiving constant intelligence from many gods and goddesses, he was able to provide her with exactly that kind of information.

A huge smile spread across Selene's face. The lady of the moon shone in such a perfect light that it was impossible not to be uplifted by the sight of her.

Indeed, the venerable creatures had come at James's request. It was astonishing that even his enemies and those who considered him a rival respected him so much. He had already gotten what many gods and goddesses wanted.
