Admission is a waste of time (219)
Lesson 43. Too popular – 4
In the center of the desert there is a pillar where the god resides.
Guardians representing the gods were guarding the place, calling it a holy place.
In a world on the brink of destruction, humans gathered in the Holy Land in search of their last hope.
Leaning on the slim hope that a way out of destruction might be found in the Pillar of God… … .
“It’s something like this.”
After the shift occurred, Ban Yu-won, who found out the background of this chain room from the people who were still around the group, returned to the group and told them.
This was information that could have been obtained naturally if one had passed through the room while complying with the original Trick Room conditions, but since he had complied and killed the Golem, or ‘Guardian’, he had to find out on his own.
“Pillars… … totem religion?”
“You studied hard, Ruchel.”
“Ehehe.”
Whether you worship a pillar as a god or a god dwells in the pillar, there is not much difference in the results.
While I was petting Ruchel, who was running towards me without missing a moment to show off her cuteness, Dokgoyeon looked at them as if she was pathetic and turned her gaze to Light, who was standing there proudly as if he had done nothing wrong, and to the people crowding around him for some reason.
“There would be no connection between the perishing world and the contract with the constellations.”
“It would be possible to extract the contractor from a world that is going to perish. That is, if this were the real world, it would have been like that.”
Ban Yu-won had two hypotheses in mind about the room that appeared inside the tower.
One of them, of course, is when the tower is completely rebuilt from the ground up.
Another is copying specific places and specific people that exist in countless dimensions and pasting them inside the tower, either completely… or transformed.
When I first entered the tower, I thought it was completely random, but now I was leaning towards the latter.
‘It is clear that the foundation of Union Net is in the tower. It is natural when you think about the intention of our ancestors to build the tower.’
The Union Net, which originates from the Tower and connects to all dimensions.
If we use it, wouldn’t it be easy to reproduce the events that took place in countless dimensions within the tower?
However, the Academy does not provide a detailed explanation of the relationship between the Tower and the Union Net, and does not specifically discuss how the Room was created, only saying that it is “the Tower’s way of testing our existence.”
So, although he couldn’t be sure of anything… …he was hoping that if he resumed his solo exploration, he might learn something.
“If only this were the real world… … .”
Dokgo Yeon suddenly smiled bitterly and muttered, wondering if something was bothering him after hearing his words.
Ban Yu-won looked at her, but Dokgo Yeon simply shook her head, saying that it was not her.
Not really, by now it’s clear that she knows something about the tower.
He turned his head, vowing to herself that he would make her vomit out everything she knew later, and before he knew it, Light was approaching him.
“I have come to a conclusion.”
While Ban Yu-won was talking to Dokgo Yeon, he had been talking to the NPCs the whole time, and surprisingly, it was worth it because the NPCs were now lined up behind him.
Could it be that you have brought them into your army?
To think of something that would be like a half-moon and then put it into action, Light is really strange now!
“I will destroy the holy land.”
“I told you to prove your strength, but haven’t you been going at it in the same pattern since earlier?”
Why don’t you just destroy the room, destroy the tower, destroy the world, destroy everything?
But Light did not back down from his position, whether Ban Yu-won criticized him or not.
“Based on the sentences presented as the conditions of this space, the original goal here was to follow that golem and enter the holy land, and be chosen by the foolish ones who call themselves gods.”
“Well, maybe so? They said it was a test, so they probably descended to a strange place or summoned a monster or something.”
“It is not we who should be tested. It is those who presumptuously claim to be gods.”
In fact, Ban Yoo-won personally had a similar position to what Light is saying now.
But I was so distracted by Light’s tone that I couldn’t hear what he was saying properly.
The awkwardness that even penetrated his power to hear everything made Ban Yu-won steel himself and decided to regard the person in front of him as an anonymous quest NPC and not Light.
“Furthermore, I heard that the Holy Land was discovered only when the world was being destroyed by all sorts of inexplicable disasters. If that is the case, shouldn’t we first be suspicious of the Holy Land?”
Ban Yu-won doubted his own ears.
What this NPC says… … .
It’s… convincing!
“And yet, humans, pathetically, did not even think about finding out the cause, and instead flocked here to see if they could be chosen by God and avoid destruction. This is strange. It could not have happened unless those damned bastards had sterilized humanity’s fighting spirit and resistance!”
Ban Yu-won asked Tike to continue recording the ‘Light Quotes’ and listened to his next words.
“This is decisive evidence that the gods have been playing tricks on humans since before the destruction! And it is also evidence that they are afraid of the destruction of the Holy Land.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Even if I hadn’t killed the Guardian, the probability that the humans here would have been chosen by God is extremely low. In that case, wouldn’t it be a better ‘struggle’ to join forces and destroy the sacred site and pillars where the power of God resides?”
As Light raised his sword and shouted out the word struggle, the humans who had been lined up in ranks like soldiers followed him and raised their weapons.
“Woooooooooooo!”
“Let us follow Lord Arclight! He will defeat the gods and restore the era of humanity!”
“The Guardian died without even being able to withstand Light-nim’s sword! We have a chance of winning!”
“Let us bring back the light from the false gods!”
No, this isn’t just an ally, it’s like he’s been possessed by Light?
Ban Yu-won narrowed his eyes as he looked at the holy sword emitting an unusual light.
There is nothing more foolish than questioning the origin of power, but if we must distinguish between them, isn’t that an apostle rather than a degree?
But if you look at the current situation, it’s not bad at all.
Originally, these humans were of high average level as they were enemies that had to be defeated during the test process.
Since I blatantly violated the conditions of the Trick Room and entered the room, there was no way I could proceed normally, so I had to prepare for an emergency situation by using bullet shields… … No, the more allies the better.
“Master, this place… … I think it’s room 149.”
“Wow.”
After hearing what Ruchel said and checking, it really was room 149.
From room 141 to room 145, and then back to room 149.

Judging from the fact that Eden awaits next, this room is probably the last in the chain of rooms, and with two consecutive multi-shifts that jumped over four rooms, it was obvious how terrifying the difficulty of this room would be.
“Then the question is how to proceed now.”
The world turned pitch black immediately after the shift occurred.
A sandstorm and frost were raging all around the desert, where temperatures suddenly dropped below freezing without a single ray of sunlight.
A situation where more than a dozen whirlpools are forming between the sandy desert and the dark sky, circling around as if surrounding the group and narrowing the net.
Perhaps it was natural that the power of the constellations could be felt from each and every whirlpool.
“I will show you everything with my power.”
Light lifted his sword with a calm expression, as if he had never gotten tired of wielding the power of the Holy Sword, but Dokgo Yeon shook his head.
“You can, but have you considered the backlash? To me, they don’t look like they’ll just go away. Don’t take the typhoon of the constellations lightly.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“that…….”
Dokgo Yeon did not answer, but only fiddled with the scabbard on his waist.
She intended to use her martial arts skills to manipulate the energy of death to destroy the power of the constellation that was embedded in the typhoon.
However, in order to do that, Light first needed to get rid of the typhoon, but he was hesitating because he didn’t want to team up with the unlucky and annoying Light.
[Ta-da! Lilith, who has grown up well thanks to her master’s love, makes a splendid reappearance!]
That was when.
A dazzlingly beautiful girl jumped out of Ban Yu-won’s inventory, stood on the air, and shouted.
The slender girl, who looked like she was a high school student, had extremely artificially shiny blue hair and silver eyes with a mechanical sheen, and her entire body glowed softly as if it were covered in LED lights… … .
The facial features were somehow oddly similar to that of a half-widow… … Well, as he said openly, it was a humanized version of Lilith.
It was suspicious from the time he appeared in doll form last time, and in the end it was this guy who did it!
“How can you become human by eating a meteor?”
[Because my status has risen. Like the saying goes, “a servant of the King of Demons”… … It was easy because I was sharing the master’s Yuwon-gong!]
Unable to overcome the gaze of Ban Yoo-won, Lilith eventually gives in obediently.
Of course, it would be more appropriate to say that Lilith, who had achieved a high rank as a machine life form rather than a pure human, was able to temporarily assume a human form, but it was clear that her abilities had become stronger.
[You’re struggling with that much sandstorm. If you get on board with me, there’ll be no problem!]
“I kind of expected it when you showed up at this timing.”
[Okay, everyone, get on!]
Surprisingly, even though the humanized release was right in front of Ban-Yu-Won’s eyes, a giant tank-shaped vehicle appeared separately.
Several of them appeared at once so that everyone here, including NPCs, could enter.
Ban Yu-won was convinced that this was the new power Lilith had gained from the Relic.
I felt like bowing deeply to the Prominence family.
“What, what is this!”
“Another ridiculous thing… … I feel like an idiot for worrying about it.”
“Let’s get on board now before the net closes in!”
“Phew.”
Dokgoyeon and Ruchel were the first to board the tank.
Light was reluctant to rely on the power of the half-widow, but after cutting down one typhoon with his holy sword and seeing its aftershocks intensify other storms and turn the sandy desert upside down, he hurriedly dragged people and divided them into tanks.
Release was accompanied by Ban Yu-won, who was able to control multiple tanks all by herself, just as Ban Yu-won controlled the Rain Sword.
[Then let’s go! The destination is the place where the stigmata are most noticeable, right?]
“That’ll be right. Let’s go.”
The tanks launched simultaneously.
The sandstorm grew louder and louder as it surged forward, but the tank, protected by the power of Release, endured it without wavering.
Not only that, but it even absorbed the stigmata from the typhoon, which was gradually disintegrating with each collision!
[The higher you climb up the tower, the more rewards you get just by progressing through the map! Yum yum… … .]
“Release, be good. The stigmata are there, so don’t swallow them. Just spit them out.”
[Tsk… … .]
Even as dozens of vortices intersected and roared, the tank piloted by Lilith easily endured it all and advanced forward, finally breaking through the storm zone and reaching the Holy Land!
“Uh… … this is.”
The monitor inside the tank showed the view ahead.
Ban Yu-won made a very strange expression when he saw with his own eyes what he had expected to happen when he first heard the word pillar.
Ruchel spoke the words that expressed his feelings.
“It looks like a tower… … .”
“So, it was an attempt to imitate the tower? Then it’s obvious why the world ended up being destroyed.”
Dokgo Yeon snorted with a look of astonishment.
A furious Light opened the hatch and shouted as he stepped out.
“Come out and destroy it! The evidence of the false gods’ attempt to destroy humanity is right before our eyes!”
At the center of the holy land was a tower that rose without end.
Its appearance resembled the Tower of Babel.
