Episode 363 < The sky gathers screams. (5) >
6.
The duel is over. The Primordial Staff was defeated and I won.
It was a fight that ended unanimously, so all that was left was to deal with it.
“Death King… no. Are you planning to establish [Sky Gathering Screams] as a new pillar? Peacock.”
Baron Gu Guanha asked. But Tapju lightly shook his head.
“no. “Myeongcheon (鳴天) would not want to become a pillar now.”
“Myeongcheon?”
I tilted my head.
“Are you talking about me?”
“Yes. [Sky Gathering Screams] is a bit long, right? Because it’s a scream, it’s a mystery. Collecting people’s memories means collecting their names. It is a glorious heaven because it gives that person his or her life back by living his or her entire life. Lastly, it is the sky that governs the underworld, the sky of the dark underworld, and is also the sky of the bright.”
“You have a good name.”
“Soin had many children. “It was a necessary skill.”
For some reason, there was a moment when the princess, not the owner of the tower, proudly puffed out her chest.
“So? Does Myeongcheon want to become a pillar right now?”
I looked around.
“If I could become a pillar right now, that would be… .”
“The path to the famous sky will end here.”
Topju’s words continued.
“A constellation controls one floor, but a pillar manages the entire tower. “Just as it is not an achievement for a constellation to jump into the floor it rules and play, it is also inconsistent for a person who is a pillar to climb a tower.”
I thought deeply.
And answered.
“First of all, I want to climb to the 100th floor.”
Those words probably seemed surprising to the pillars.
However, Tapju nodded as if he had guessed that he would say that.
“yes. In that case, I will end it by becoming a perfect constellation for now. Mr. Kim Myeong-cheon.”
“I don’t like being renamed like that… .”
“Mr. Kim Mong-cheong.”
“Are you doing this too much!? “You wanted to call it that, so you named it that way with a lot of good reasons, right?!”
“There are conditions to become a true constellation.”
condition.
“You could call it a condition or a procedure. “Only when you complete this procedure will you be able to bestow blessings on your believers.”
“What is?”
“Once it is completed as a constellation, the skill can never be deleted.”
“…….”
“Let me see.”
Topju snapped his fingers.
Then, slowly, square shapes appeared in the air and floated slowly.
Those speckled with gold, silver, and bronze were none other than my skill cards.
“[I want to be like you (S+)], [Returner’s Wind-Up Clock (EX)], [Sword Constellation (A+)], [Rebirth of the White Ghost (SSS)], [Goblin High Society (F)], [Infernal Heavenly Art] (A+)], [Salvation of the Torn Goddess (A+)], [Demon Heavenly Strike (S)], [Phalange Dragon’s Skull (SSS+)]… … .”
Tapju looked at me with puzzled eyes.
“really. Only the real ones have it. “Don’t you think your conscience is out of the question?”
“Is it true that there is a [Goblin High Society (F)] that is not enough to say that only those with the right talent?”
“What are you talking about? That is your identity. Even if you give up all the other cards, you will have to protect the Goble Prize.”
“Your eyes are truly high.”
As expected, this top owner can communicate well.
“So, I’ll give you a chance. Myeongcheon.”
“If there’s a chance… … .”
“It’s simple. In the past, Myeongcheon upgraded [Summoning White Ghosts (SS)] to [Reincarnation of White Ghosts (SSS)] as a reward for clearing floors 11 to 19, right? Same reward as that. In other words, I will give you an opportunity to integrate your skills.”
Comprehensive integration of skills.
“When a baron becomes a duke, it is like reorganizing the titles and fiefs he holds. Could it be that he is tying together scattered fiefdoms and integrating them into a [Duchacy]? “I also do pruning at the same time.”
The owner of the tower, who was also a nobleman of a certain kingdom, also had a very noble analogy.
“…Can I manipulate the skills at will?”
“Yeah. “I guess I’ll have to convince the little people.”
Tapju covered his face and giggled. Palak. Long sleeves that did not resemble any pattern on Earth fluttered, and purple eyes opened above them.
“But this is not just compensation. Myeongcheon. As you may know, you are deciding what kind of constellation you will become.”
“…….”
“God must be clear. It has to be intuitive. This is because God is a helper, and only when it is clear who can he help will believers also seek help. Look at Mutia. [It can turn your life around]. How distinct is this? On the other hand… … .”
“It was unclear what the constellation Docheol (響醫) did. indeed. “Is the power of the constellation the intuition of power?”
“Yes yes yes. That’s it. In short, it means, ‘Be equipped with a good skill set.’ “It’s simple, right?”
I rested my chin and lowered my gaze.
I was lost in worry.
‘What can I do for people?’
In other words, what is my power?
‘What kind of people can I help?’
In other words, how far is my territory?
‘…What do I need to be myself?’
In other words, what is my support?

The worries were long. I also came up with my own answer. Then, suddenly, I realized that the top owner was quietly watching and waiting for me.
‘I could leave the work to Baron Kuwonha and leave. The duel is over and this is just an afterthought. ‘Why do you stay?’
Of course, the top owner is showing me favor. Rather than leaving the chores to his subordinates, he may want to reward me himself.
But I came to a different interpretation.
“… … I could ask you. “I can ask for your advice on what to do.”
Topju smiled.
“That’s correct.”
also.
The burden melted from my heart. The tower lord is the god of this tower. It is a pillar placed in the exact center and the starlight embedded in the highest night sky.
If I wanted to become stronger as a Constellation, what advisor could be more helpful than this?
‘does not exist. To put it bluntly, there is none. This is an incredible opportunity.’
There was no mistake in what Topju said. She was giving me [a chance]. Not just a chance to consolidate skills, but also a chance to take advantage of top players. If you receive a chance like this and don’t use it, you’d be a fool.
“thank you.”
“you’re welcome. Personal punishment. Those who work hard will be rewarded. “It is the most basic virtue that a nobleman must possess.”
“Then let me ask you right away. How can you not get tired?”
I could feel the remaining pillars in the conference hall looking at me. Eyes filled with emotion. Since they didn’t hide anything, I could tell right away what their feelings were.
jealousy. period.
The tower owner was their master. Considering the tower owner’s life and personality, he is probably the owner who monopolizes their love. And it was natural to want to be exclusive as much as to be exclusive.
‘Now we are really in a position to compete with the pillars.’
Does he do this even though he knows that I am subservient to Raviel?
‘Probably so.’
He’s jealous of me just because I have the time of top owner at this moment.
It’s not because I gained the favor of the tower owner.
I am jealous because the owner of the tower gave me a favor.
From now on, there is a high possibility that they will prevent me from climbing to the 100th floor. I won’t commit any fouls. Because that’s a fool’s errand that will lose the tower owner’s favor. You will compete with me fairly, as long as you never break the rules of the game.
The [Primordial Staff] has already been defeated. They never disrespect me.
It’s going to be a difficult fight, and that’s why Top Owner allowed me this [opportunity].
Fight well. Cheer up.
So, we need to make the most of this opportunity.
“Hmm. “How do you not get tired?”
“yes. “I’m not tired yet, but it might be different once I become a constellation.”
I thought of many people.
“The fox was tired right away. When I met Esther for the first time, she was tired because of me, but she had already festered inside before that.”
How could it be just them?
Most of the Constellations I met, including Hamustra, were tired of themselves and no one else.
That’s what living a long life means.
“So, I’d like to hear the case of Topju.”
“It’s love.”
Topju answered simply. Like a priest revealing the truth.
“Little people surround themselves with loved ones. No, it makes those around them fall in love with the small person. When small people have a hard time, lovers have a harder time. When small people are happy, lovers are happier. “Then it tastes good.”
“… … “Wouldn’t it be deathly painful for lovers?”
“I guess so.”
Topju also briefly affirmed.
“But small people can make lovers the happiest.”
“…….”
“Only small people can give lovers the ultimate happiness. When they are in pain, small people know better than them why they are in pain. It hurts more. I’m happier. Therefore, it doesn’t matter even if the lovers suffer because of the predisposition. After all, there is no one who can make lovers happier than Soin.”
Topju spoke with a conviction that could be described as maddening.
“When I feel the pain and happiness of my lovers, I feel that Soin is alive. clearly. So much so that you can hold it in your hand. How do you not get tired? It’s simple. “As long as you can feel the reality of life, you will never get tired.”
indeed.
It wasn’t a life I wanted to refer to even if I died, but it was a tactic I could refer to.
I made up my mind.
“Give me a skill.”
“Hmm? I don’t know if it’s at the level of revision, but giving something completely new is Cho Ohgeum… .”
“it’s okay. It’s not a completely new skill. Rather, it is safe to say that I already have this skill.”
“If that’s the case, that’s fine. “What is it?”
“[The love of a returner].”
Topju raised his eyes.
“Hoo.”
“As you know, this is a skill that Raviel has. It is a skill that connects Raviel and my time together. “I also want to have the same skills as Raviel.”
“If you only have one anyway, the effect will be the same. There’s no reason why you can’t give it to me if you want it, but isn’t it a waste? “There aren’t enough skill slots anymore.”
“Our tower owner has no sense.”
I smiled.
“Shouldn’t both of you have wedding rings? Please hurry.”
Upon hearing what I said, Topju laughed out loud. I don’t know why, but I felt like I exploded at the metaphor of a wedding ring. With a laugh that sounds like tearing silk, tap! Topju pounded the air.
[Supreme love and pure yearning.]
[‘The master of all life’ recognizes your love and gives you a skill.]
A golden card appeared before my eyes.
+
[The love of a returner]
Rank: EX
Effect: To a regressor, love is like poison. No matter how hard you struggle, you cannot share time with the one you love. Then, a certain returner made a wish. ‘Please protect my lover’s memory.’ That wish was fulfilled by reaching the tower.
You share a timeline with your beloved lover. If your lover goes back a day, you go back a day too. As you go back a day, your lover goes back a day too. This is the oath of the ring. This is the wedding of time.
I wish you both good luck.
※However, it only activates when you and your lover love each other.
+
The same thing Raviel has.
If I were a constellation, the star that would shine first would be the star.
“great. Shall we use our generosity? “I’ll even provide you with service, Myeongcheon.”
Sararak-.
A golden card landed on the back of my hand and melted.
It literally melted and disappeared.
As the card disappeared, it glowed golden light and soaked into the ring finger of my left hand. Of course, Raviel’s wedding ring was on my ring finger.
“I linked the wedding ring and [the love of a returner]. As long as the skill card is not torn, the wedding ring will not be destroyed. Huh? But now, once the Vicheon is completed as a constellation, the skill card cannot be removed, right?”
“It’s actually an equipment item with an indestructible option.”
“yes. This makes it a real wedding ring. congratulations.”
Topju smiled brightly.
The gazes of the pillars around me became more and more fierce, but neither of us cared. Of course there are differences. It’s because I think it’s something I’ll have to shoulder anyway, and Topju is deliberately ignoring it.
“and? What other skills would you like to revise?”
“Please remove the penalty option attached to [One Hundred Returns and Reincarnation].”
I demanded right away.
“It’s too harsh to be able to use a skill only once a week. Well, if I summoned a hundred ghosts and used them to attack Daguri, it would be a devastating skill, but I don’t do that. I just want to return the memories of the life I took. “Please remove the penalty.”
“What? That makes sense.”
“There are two things, three things, and three things.”
“duck?”
“cackle.”
After exchanging the most idiotic question and answer in the world, the owner granted my request.
[Skill revision.]
[The penalty for reincarnation is removed.]
[One Hundred Returns Reincarnation (SSS) changes into One Hundred Returns Reincarnation (SSS+)!]
“also? You must see that there is no such opportunity anymore. “Don’t complain later and tell me everything now.”
“Please revise [Salvation of the Torn Goddess]. You’re no longer a torn goddess, are you? [Guardian Goddess]. “It is right to allow me to fully use Hwiya’s power.”
“It fits my sari.”
“duck?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… … . Gongja Kim, do you like that kind of comedy? … ? Soin started to feel ashamed of being here…”
“Shit!”
[Skill revision.]
[The salvation of the torn goddess is unified.]
[The Torn Goddess’ Salvation (A+) changes into the Guardian Goddess (S)!]
“Goblin high society… … .”
“no. Don’t change it. “Please go back.”
[Skill not revised.]
[Goblin upper society is preserved.]
[It’s absurd to try to erase that!]
“The fox is the one who swore to be with me for eternity. If I’m stuck on the same timeline as Raviel, the fox is the watchman who keeps that timeline from breaking. “I hope the fox’s existence is made clear.”
“What you say will happen.”
[Eternal alliance of time.]
[‘Master of Life’ recognizes your skills.]
[You get a music box (EX) just for you.]
“What do you want to do with Hishmit Kritz and Mutia, Myeongcheon?”
“They are only subjugated under me for a while, but they are not my allies that will be with me forever. “They probably don’t want it right now.”
“It is correct and it is an accurate judgment. “Those who have been subjugated by force rather than by heart are bound to rebel when their power weakens or their power becomes stronger.”
“yes. So, there may be times like now when I borrow their power, but that is not my power. However, please integrate the [Evil Heavenly Demonstration Technique] and [The Demon Heavenly Demonic Technique].”
I said emphatically.
“Because both are skills that only draw the sky of Macheon.”
“That also makes sense.”
Top owner nodded.
“I will name it Macheon.”
[Skill revision.]
[The Demon Heavenly Demonstration Technique (A+) and the Demon Heavenly Demonstration Technique (S) are integrated.]
[The two skills are integrated and transformed into Macheon (SSS)! ]
therefore.
My skill set is complete.
+
Name: Gongja Kim
Rank: S class
Skill (10/10)
1. A returner’s love (EX)
2. Returner’s Wind-Up Clock (EX)
3. I want to be like you (S+)
4. One Hundred Returns Reincarnation (SSS+)

8. Music box just for you (EX)
9. Goblin High Society (F)

+
Skill number 1 [A Returner’s Love] is the foundation for me to be myself. It is the wick that keeps the candle burning as a candle.
Skill 2 [Returner’s Clockwork] to skill 5 [Phalange Dragon’s Skull] are my powers. Seeing the other person’s trauma, summoning them as white ghosts and creating a body for them.
Skills 6 [Sword Constellation] to skill 8 [Music Box Just for You] are my allies. More than simply being together, we are bound by soul.
Skill number 9 [Goblin High Society] is… … Goblin high society magazine. Need some explanation?
Skill number 10 [Demon Heaven] is my strength. my sword my source. It is the hilt of a sword held to avoid being eaten by this world, and it is a blade wielded to cut down this world.
“Mr. Kim Gongja.”
After all work is completed.
Tapju looked up at me quietly.
“Now, as long as you nod your head, the entire process of becoming a constellation will be completed.”
“yes.”
“Now you cannot delete skills.”
“yes.”
“Now you can’t die.”
“…….”
“Up until now, you could have torn apart the [Returner’s Clockwork] any time you wanted. If I died, I could get my life back. But once you nod your head, you can never go back to the way things were.”
Yes.
That’s what it means to not be able to tear down a skill.
“Even if I die, I only go back one day. Even if you die and try to return to being a child, your skills are only effective in [the world inside the tower]. The past before you set foot in the tower. “I can’t go back to the outside world.”
“I will ask you one last question,” said Tapju.
“Are you truly going to handle eternity?”
“yes.”
Even though I knew those were heavy words, I nodded.
I have walked this far just to bear that weight.
“I will forever remain a sky for those who scream.”
“…….”
And Topju spoke the words he had spoken so far just to convey these words to someone.
“Good luck to you.”
Tick.
Time that had stopped began to pass.
[The 76th floor stage has been cleared.]
[The 77th floor stage has been cleared.]
[The 78th floor stage has been cleared.]
[The 79th floor stage has been cleared.]
With the defeat of the Primordial Staff, all the stages she managed were immediately cleared.
What happened to Yoo Soo-ha, who was in charge of refereeing?
Perhaps, we will find out in a little while.
Light leaked out from under my feet and quickly obscured my vision.
[Your level grows.]
[Skill slots are expanded.]
and.
[Now your rank is SSS level.]
[You are the ‘sky that gathers screams.’]
Paaaaat!
As I was finally declared to have become an SSS-level hunter, I was engulfed in white light.
etc,
