Episode 261 < Iconoclasm. (1) >
One.
Some time after our children complete their final evolution.
[The dream demons undergo evolution!]
[The Saegi tribe undergoes evolution!]
[The Sanwa tribe undergoes evolution!]
Changes also occurred in other races.
The designated races were not the only races that could evolve. The Children of the Land were merely the first to open fire. Some races that were still capable of evolution also spewed out auras one by one.
Paaaaaa!
The sky below suddenly turned rainbow-colored.
-Oh oh.
-this… … .
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the body of the [dragon that dwells in the deep sea]. They sat cross-legged on the monster’s limbs, or at least on its claws. They all burned colorful auras at once.
The entire area became bright as if it were wrapped in a rainbow.
[The presence of the dragon living in the deep sea becomes blurred.]
That light was also a candle burning with the giant monster using himself as the wick.
[The dragon that lives in the deep sea cannot wake up from the surface.]
[The presence of the dragon living in the deep sea becomes blurred.]
‘It’s over.’
I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the hologram.
The magnificent body of the machine dragon was falling asleep at a rapid rate. This is a phenomenon that I have already seen before my eyes when I fought the Demon King of Autumn Rain. It was a fall.
‘Still, he’s much calmer than before.’
The dragon did not resist.
No, I couldn’t.
Because the dream demons are holding the dragon in the dream world.
That giant turtle probably didn’t feel pain or fall into despair.
[The presence of the dragon living in the deep sea becomes blurred.]
[The dragon that dwells in the deep sea can no longer maintain its authority.]
[We begin rating adjustment.]
[The nickname of the deep-sea dragon is taken away.]
Good luck, good death.
Finally, the monster’s body collapsed.
The constellation, which was said to have created this continent on its own, was eaten by its own children.
“… … “It’s a just ending.”
The Black Dragon Master opened his mouth.
Anastasia was speechless for a while as she watched our children evolve, but now she seemed to have regained some of her composure.
“Even if the continent became rich in aurors thanks to that dragon head… . So, even if all eight races benefited from him, I can’t feel unfair.”
Self-employed.
Anastasia calmly assessed the monster’s death.
“It happened because he tried to kill his own children. How can someone who exposes his teeth to children be a creator or parent? Once it starts showing its teeth, it’s a beast. “They fight, kill each other, and only the strongest survive.”
“And our children were strong.”
“that’s right. “It’s thanks to our children that they are so good.”
Anastasia and I looked at each other and smiled. Not only the two of us, but also other colleagues had bright expressions. They looked as happy as if we had conquered the stage ourselves, perhaps even more.
The atmosphere is warm.
“Well, I did well in all races.”
I said with a smile.
“Among them, if I were to pick the children who did the best, wouldn’t they be the designated tribe?”
“……huh?”
Anastasia frowned.
“What are you talking about? If the dream demons hadn’t been able to put the dragon’s head to rest, they wouldn’t have been able to beat the stage in the first place. It must be said that the vampire who brought in those dream demons made the greatest contribution. “If you think about it, the designated tribe just took away a delicious scene.”
“hmm! That makes sense, but if it weren’t for the architecture of the Sanwa tribe, hundreds of thousands of people wouldn’t have been able to climb the dragon’s body every day!”
The Heretic Questioner laughed.
“The core of this operation is aura absorption. As it was important how many people could stick together at once, the Sanwa tribe did a great job in making the operation a reality!”
“her. Everyone doesn’t know anything. “What do you do when there are hundreds of thousands of people?”
The Count licked the cat’s hand with his tongue.
“They must all be able to travel quickly by boat, have food to eat while moving, and have a place to live after moving in order for the rebellion to be successful. It goes without saying, but the capital and logistics of that continent are run by the fairies. Do you understand? “Looking at it objectively, the hidden merits of the fairies are actually the greatest.”
“For your information, the ships carrying those logistics are all led by the Saegi clan. hmm. What I mean is, if you look at objective facts, that also belongs to objective facts.”
uh?
Do these people truly think that their child did the best?
“no way. Nope. Anyone can see that the designated tribe did the best. Even though these people have pods in their eyes, they put them on tightly. “You’re siding with your own child even though the quote is perfect.”
“…….”
“…….”
what.
The atmosphere is no joke.
The waiting room for eliminated candidates became cold, as if the warm air just a moment ago was a lie.
‘really?’
Do you really believe that your child played the biggest role? It makes no sense. Isn’t it almost cognitive dissonance?
No matter how well our designated tribe is doing, isn’t this an ugly feeling of jealousy and jealousy?

“[Tiring! Death King has negative feelings toward his companions. At this time, I didn’t know yet. “Their camaraderie and friendship, which seemed to be forever strong, would turn sour because of their children.]”
“What are you doing, princess… … ?”
“Message play.”
The princess walking through the mirage came between us.
“I know that? “In fact, the messages, explanations, and statuses delivered to you are all handwritten by one person.”
“yes? … … “Yes?”
“Anyway, you beat the 38th floor! congratulations!”
The princess imitated the sound of congratulations with her mouth: “Baba baba bam.”
“Actually, the stages you have conquered are different in each world. The 1st to 10th floors are tutorials, so even though they are largely the same, the 11th to 31st floors are completely different. “The world is more numerous than the stars in the night sky, and there are countless stages for you ascendants to be active!”
“Hey.”
Anastasia and other colleagues turned their attention to the princess’s words.
“The fact that stages appear differently in each world… “So you’re saying that there are worlds with towers other than ours?”
“huh! “Up to the 49th floor, people from other worlds rarely encounter each other.”
“Beginner-friendly?”
“Something like that, something like that. “From the 50th floor onwards, you will have to compete with climbers from all over the world.”
My colleagues looked excited. Although I had already known or guessed this for a long time, it was as if they were hearing this for the first time.
‘ah. no.’
I suddenly realized.
‘This must really be my first time hearing this.’
My colleagues are different from me.
Thanks to Bae Hu-ryeong, I already knew that [Hunters from another world] existed. Isn’t Bae Hu-ryeong himself a legendary figure who reached the 99th floor in another world?
‘but… … Except for the Sword Saint, other people probably didn’t know.’
I am a special case as I met the owner of the tower and dug into the truth about the tower.
Most people don’t want to know that and have no way of knowing.
While feeling the gap in information once again, [The Princess Walking in a Mirage] continued to talk.
“But the 31st to 49th floors are mostly the same. “Universal, or rather universal?”
‘hmm.’
This is my first time hearing this information.
“In the end, it’s about how you handle the stages. There are people who take the easy path, and there are also people who try to take the difficult path. “In preparation for being mixed up with people from another world on the 50th floor, you can think of it as a pre-experience of [what happens when you meet people from another world]!”
The princess smiled brightly.
“And now it’s time to pay for the experience.”
cost.
“When children grow up, they will one day recognize their parents’ bare faces.”
It was a moment when my colleagues were about to ask what that meant.
[Chain layer in progress.]
[The attacker will be forcibly sent to the 39th floor.]
[The 39th floor quest is displayed.]
Letters appeared before our eyes.
+
[Iconoclasm]
Difficulty level: TBC
Mission Objective: You have helped your species.
The race you have chosen has overcome many challenges. Sometimes the obstacles were brutal nature, sometimes different races living in the same world, sometimes unidentified plagues encountered in the new world, and sometimes the beings who created this continent.
Now it’s your turn to be the final test!
You have become a ‘god’ and reigned over your species. But you are not God. You have to earn each day, eat each day, laugh or get angry to survive. Just like that race, you too are the same human being.
Please select.
Would you let your species know that you are human?
Or will you hide the truth forever and treat your tribe as your servant?
※However, if you hide the truth, you will no longer be able to climb the tower.
+
“…….”
okay.
I nodded my head slowly.
‘This is a quest.’
The reason why our tower ran aground before returning.
The reason why the Flame Emperor, who had been conquering the stage at all costs, struggled when he reached the 40th floor.
It was not a monster or a constellation, but the history written by [himself] that turned into an enemy.
‘We are not gods.’
It’s just that they are the same people as those races.
Now it’s time for children to know that too.
2.
For a long time.
I have been preparing for this 39th floor for a really long time.
『To put it bluntly, Kekerkker is our evil friend.』
I constantly emphasized to my children that I am not God, but just your parent, or more accurately, a friend.
『Apostle Gorke faithfully trusted his family until the moment of his death. Kekerukker is not a good transcendental person, but is simply a friend who tries to take care of us.』
『He has a foul mouth and a petty temperament, so he is not a friend I would want to have close to me.』
Maybe it would have been easier to pretend to be a real god.
I protected the designated tribe from the lava flowing from the volcano. Children escaped from the imperial salt caves. He taught tattoos to the Jeonggi tribe who were rolling around in the mud, created letters, and showed them the path to becoming the conquerors of the continent.
There were many, many opportunities for me to become the god of the designated tribe.
If we had wanted to, we could have created followers more fanatical than any other religion.
『The names referring to Kekerukker are ‘a lion with a foul mouth’, ‘one who loves the taste of beatings’, and ‘a believer in violent education’.』
But it didn’t happen.
『Kekkerukker.』
『Welcome, Abby.』
I couldn’t do that.
Because one day, I had to let my kids know that I wasn’t a god or something.
-what?
-God of Fire, what do you mean by that?
The Flame Emperor reigned as an absolute god to the Elves.
When the elves slaughtered other races, burned the world and wreaked havoc, the Flame Emperor always used excuses such as [God’s command] or [Heaven’s will]. The elves, who had witnessed miracles since the beginning, had no choice but to fall victim to the flame emperor’s tricks.
-I am not God.
Because of that, the feeling of betrayal was even more devastating.
-What on earth does that mean… … .
-Oh, shit. Well, there are all these quests. Anyway, I was anxious from the start of the chain process and all. Tsk.
Emperor Yan revealed the truth in order to proceed with the stage.
-Do you not understand? I am not god.
-Why are your expressions like that? If I’m not God, then what, is it bad because I’m not God?
-I’m playing. If it weren’t for me, they would have been destroyed long ago. Thanks to me, they conquered the continent and became the most prosperous race. Would that make any difference if I weren’t a god? Anyway, it’s true that you guys helped me.
-What massacre? Command?
-It’s your fault for being deceived.
-Wow, these guys are funny. You’ve enjoyed everything you have, so why are you doing this now? I didn’t use you, you used me. You guys also enjoyed killing other races. It was so f*cking convenient to be able to use the excuse ‘God’s name’, right?
-Then you should know how to be grateful.
-You ungrateful bastards.
The result was, of course, a catastrophe.
The elves realized that there was no god among them. There was no such thing as a [God of Fire]. There was no reason why other races should be destroyed.
The history they have achieved over thousands of years. Massacre and war. Everything was just a hoax deceived by [humans just like themselves] pretending to be the creators.
-Are you staring at me? Do you think I’ll be scared if you glare at me?
Like that, the elves were divided into four groups.
-If they tease you, just attack them.
The priest class, who reigned at the top of the tribe, was killed first. By the people they led.
The warrior class was divided and started a civil war among themselves, and of course, the vast majority of warlords were hostile to [False God] Yu Su-ha.
The enemies we fight from the 40th floor are none other than elves.
The race that up until then had believed in and supported the Flame Emperor suddenly became ‘enemies’ and ‘monsters’, blocking the path ahead of our tower.
Of course, the few survivors of the races destroyed by the Flame Emperor also became enemies. They are the ones who rebelled even when they called themselves gods. After it was revealed that it was human, the resistance became more intense and it never weakened.
Truly self-employed.
『How can someone who exposes his teeth to children be a creator or parent? Once it starts showing its teeth, it’s a beast. They fight and kill each other, and only the strong survive.』
The world before the return went as Anastasia said.
Our tower entered into an endless struggle with the elves.
“Ego.”
That’s the story of the past I knew.
“What do you want to do?”
And the story will be different from now on.
“If you choose not to tell the truth here, you can continue to reign as a god like you always have. ah. Even if you fail the quest, the stages you have cleared so far will be preserved. The entire continent from the 31st to the 39th floor will be incorporated into your tower! “The races that treat you as gods will follow you as a bonus.”
The princess walking through the mirage smiled brightly.
“But if you reveal the secret… … . Everything you have done will be revealed. huh. “The conversations you have had, the actions you have taken, all become videos and are directly [screened] in the minds of all races.”
“It’s going to be a huge uproar. Muscle Pig knows what you are, but only he. “The other kids don’t know anything!”
The princess looked at each of our faces.
“I’ll ask you again. “What will you choose?”
Of course.
My answer is fixed.
