Episode 749 If it already exists
I closed my eyes for a moment at Ophelia’s words.
A group of Noble Knights formed with one goal in mind from the moment they entered the tower.
I don’t know much about her.
Still, I knew a few things were strange.
She doesn’t come from a big guild.
He was not a great businessman and it is questionable whether he had any other activities.
In other words.
‘I couldn’t figure out how to form the Noble Knights and how the Big Star Guild got interested.’
The treatment given to her, who had not yet reached the top, was excessively generous.
At first, I thought it might be someone like Lee Jun-seok or someone I know who has a connection.
‘If you look at what Ijiki does, that wasn’t it either.’
It seemed like the two knew each other, but only to that extent.
Big Star Guild is one of the few new large guilds.
The implications of this were enormous.
The large guilds in collusion with the government intentionally prevented climbers from ascending.
Big Star is a place that has grown by overcoming numerous threats and obstacles.
Why does such a place recognize and support Ophelia as an equal?
The secret is out.
“There was one more person besides me.”
“I was thinking that maybe it was Evil Eye.”
Ophelia inherited the fragments of chaos.
And that too before climbing the tower.
It was surprising and at the same time expected.
It is common knowledge that succeeding someone is only possible within the tower.
Because NPCs can’t go outside.
It was decided that he could go out of the tower and cause chaos in the world.
Monsters, disasters.
and.
‘Fragments of Chaos.’
They were also beings who could go outside the tower, and at the same time.
‘There is a power that can save the successor.’
Aren’t I also Heiden’s successor right now?
It was an unprecedented event for fragments of chaos to appear at that point in the transition period to destruction.
“After designating me as the savior, he returned to the tower.”

“Is he in the tower too?”
“No. It must have disappeared now. He passed the concept on to me and hid the remaining one in the tower. It must have become a forgotten entity now.”
A forgotten being.
I’ve heard it before.
The fragments of chaos each act on their own will, and it is impossible to completely control even the system.
Among them, there are monsters that display abilities and powers that surpass common sense.
On the other hand, there are also forgotten beings.
The dead who have lost or been robbed of their concepts by the newly emerged fragments of chaos.
I wondered how Ophelia knew that, but it was because she had already encountered it.
“The Sixth Heaven. I was an angel there.”
“He is a person who maintains his ego.”
“Strong conviction and nobility make the impossible possible.”
I can’t deny it.
Moulin Cassen also maintained his ego for similar reasons.
The tea has cooled down.
Ophelia put down her teacup and stared at me.
“Did you know that there are three Shards of Chaos in the Tower with special names?”
“I thought there were a few, but I didn’t know there were three.”
I can guess who you are talking about.
I just found out about this recently.
Ophelia nodded and opened her mouth.
“He who returns to the tower, Bedrock Baaluje.”
The ruler of the 99th floor and the king of all worshippers.
“He who does not leave the tower, Heiden.”
The guy I inherited and who made shame a definitive concept.
“The one who dragged the existence of the tower, Beluak.”
The one Ophelia inherited and the one who gave her the concept before she even entered the tower.
Based on this, Ophelia negotiated with Big Star and Noble Knight was created.
I think it might be for a similar reason that there was a connection with the NPCs inside the tower.
The shards of chaos existed in the tower, and there must have been some people associated with it.
“Beluaq is a symbolic figure among the Celestials. That is why he is friendly to me, his rightful successor.”
indeed.

There was a reason he was called the one beloved by all angels.
The tower was a small society and there would have been many NPCs associated with the celestials.
Even the being that Ophelia inherited.

‘Angel of the world that overcame destruction.’
Now he has disappeared and become a forgotten being, but his will remains.
Even if I were an NPC, I think I would have made him my successor, believing that he would be able to reach the 100th floor if he had been chosen by a being who had overcome destruction.
Well, actually, Ophelia became the successor to many NPCs.
Since the NPCs are friendly, climbing shouldn’t be difficult.
‘I just saw them give a free pass on the 94th floor.’
Agent Dragon, Mary Mullet.
The guy who ruled the 94th floor opened a portal for Ophelia.
There must have been some kind of contract.
Or, the succession is conditional on opening a portal.
Or maybe there’s something else.
“Is this explanation sufficient?”
“Not enough.”
The garage is overflowing.
It’s been a while since the questions that have piled up have been resolved.
The corners of her mouth rise gently at my answer.
Looks relieved that his doubts have been cleared.
“The reason why he was able to prepare for the 99th floor in advance is the same. The last concept he left behind is on the 99th floor.”
Ophelia continued speaking calmly.
Here is the way to save the world.
The reason I prepared the 99th floor strategy was fundamentally for this purpose.
“I have no intention of catching Bedrock Baaluje. The important thing is to get the last concept and move up.”
There was no need to capture the King of the Worshipers in the process.
That was true.
Ruler of the 99th floor?
So what?
The portal was open, and it was possible to ascend upwards if only one could penetrate the worshippers’ realm.
That’s why Ophelia needed a king.
Able to move forward representing a kingdom without a king.
Someone who can buy her time so she can head to the 100th floor.
Not just anyone could do it.
A person who could become king had to be qualified to do so.
“Evil Eye, you could be king.”
I met that criteria.
Haven’t I seen it a few times already?

Ophelia knew that too.
Didn’t I say that in the first place?
Ophelia’s role is that of a saint.
If you give me the role of king.
“Hair Loss Man. You said you were going to join the expedition this time. You’re a legendary general who has lost every battle. Please catch the high-level monsters.”
The bald man is given the role of finding a concept.
There is just one problem.
“Wait a minute. From the intermediate level and above, it’ll be impossible to deal with them without any concept.”
“That’s right. But everyone who has reached the 99th floor has something that represents them. They each have a concept that they have been holding onto, even if they haven’t yet expressed it.”
Yeah, I guess so.
You must have been through a lot on your way up here.
I used to be like that too.
It wouldn’t be any different for a balding man.
“If you have this, you will be able to fight even high-level monsters. That’s what the Noble Knight who predicted it said.”
What Ophelia gave me was a black sphere.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out what it was.
concept.
An item that can occasionally be obtained by catching intermediate-level or higher monsters.
[SSS-class power, the eye that gazes upon the stars is unleashed.]
-Tsuzuzuzu.
The identity of the concept was examined through power.
It’s a concept that suits a balding man.
A few come to mind right now.
Something like a sassy girl or a superhuman. I thought romance wouldn’t be bad either.
[Concept: Appearance]
-This is a concept obtained by defeating upper-level monsters and mid-bosses!
-Caution) The concept is expressed differently depending on the subject.
It appears.
“It’s a strange fit.”
Isn’t there something like the appearance of a hero?
Something that appears just when you need it.
It is a concept that also fits the personality of a bald man.
“There’s more to it than this. The history of the exploration team and the processing team is long, and the concepts they’ve acquired over the years have been stored in the temple. They’re just waiting for the right target to show up.”
It seemed like it was only a recommendation and that it wasn’t necessary to choose this.
“It’s not just the bald man. I’ll open the shrine’s vault to others as well. I don’t know if it’s for those who have already developed the concept, but it would be difficult if they don’t.”
Thorough preparation.
At the same time, there were also risk factors.

“What if I absorb a concept and it goes wrong?”
“You will become a monster. The choice is yours, and that is why I am asking you to do so.”
There are reasons why you can’t force it.
Understanding a concept on your own and absorbing it are two entirely different things.
“It would be better for those without the concept to work as an exploration team, and for those with the concept to work as a processing team.”
“Are you moving to the processing team too?”
“I am here. I have to protect the temple. The King of the Worshipers. There is no telling when he will show up here again before we observe him again.”
That’s true.
The angel makeup used by Ophelia.
Because the unique area surrounding the temple prevents the invasion of other monsters.
The King of Worshipers will also not be able to appear inside the temple.
It would be a problem if you wander around outside and lose all the concepts you’ve worked so hard to gather.
I have a rough understanding of it.
“Hair loss man, what are you going to do?”
All that remains is the bald man’s choice.
Accept the concept or just keep going.
There are few people who will deal with intermediate or higher level players.
The total number of people in the handling team is barely over 20, and among the climbers.
‘There’s only me and Ophelia.’
More power would be nice, but it’s also dangerous.
If you die as a climber, you can get out of the tower, but if you become a monster, you can’t.
‘I’ll stay at the top for the rest of my life.’
Isn’t that a terrible ending?
It is bound to be a burden to those who climb up to conquer the tower.
“You don’t have to make a hasty decision. It’s not like anything will happen right away.”
“Euuuum. Euuuum!”
The balding man is racking his brain.
What should I do?
“Or you could take a look at what’s in the vault inside the temple. I’ll show you around.”
Ophelia also pointed to the back of the temple, wanting to give as many choices as possible.
I agree too.
The balding man that others see and the balding man that you think of yourself are different.
It would be better to see and judge for yourself.
Just in case, take a look and see what else there is.
A bald man is a bald man, but the concept of a licker and a cat may also be necessary.

“I have a question.”
The bald man, who had been keeping his mouth shut for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Is it okay to have two of those concepts?”
“Usually two is the limit. That’s why the Chaos Fragments have two concepts.”
“Oh, yeah. I have two too.”
“There are already two?!”
Ophelia is surprised by my words.
Why are you so surprised?
I think I’ll be like that soon too.
He shrugged.
“Well, um. So, to catch a high-level monster, you need to have two concepts? From the intermediate level, you need to have at least one concept.”
“No, I don’t mind if there’s just one.”
“aha!”
The bald man claps his hands at Ophelia’s answer.
what?
It’s strange to say that.
They don’t ask if it’s okay to eat the concept, nor do they ask how serious the side effects are.
“You by any chance?”
For a moment, a thought occurred to me.
“Then I don’t have to eat this.”
Ophelia also seemed to realize what the bald man was trying to say.
“I have a concept!”
The bald man gave a thumbs up.
This guy.
I already had the concept.
