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

Chapter 22: Council of Olympus



After closing the window, James looked around again and then took off everything he was wearing and went under the water to take a shower.

He couldn't even describe how relaxing it felt to feel the hot water hitting his body.

After a short shower, James, dressed in clean clothes and sitting on the soft bed, looked around for a few seconds and then asked the question:

"Emma...are you there?"

After this question, a half-minute silence was broken by the window that had formed in front of James:

[Yes, Master James.]

James was happy to finally be able to talk to someone else and then uttered the following words:

"Like what happened on the first floor, is this bed part of the test? I really need to sleep."

These words managed to make thousands of gods laugh, even if James did not realise it, James was not like them. Many of the personalities who managed to become gods were already the children of the mating of the gods. Indeed, there were only a handful of creatures who came to the tower from outside and became gods.

This reminded all the gods that he was indeed human, a human in need of sleep.

[This is a real area, sir. This is a player area. Due to the difficulty of the 3rd floor, it is designed for resting purposes, do not worry, it is all real and has no connection with the next floor, please rest.]

As soon as James read what was written in front of him, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, he did not even try to close the window, he did not want to miss this chance, he had to enjoy his sleep.

While he slept, a deep conversation was taking place in a place he could not even dream of reaching with his current power, in the realm of the gods, in the heart of Olympus.

"Many gods will try to take him, my lady, and you know it, look around you, even my brother Hades, who never wants to come out of the underworld, is here waiting for your orders. Asgard is our ally and even Sun Wukong, Archangel Michael and Fallen Angel Lucifer are willing to help us. With just one of your orders, we can bring all the gods to their knees.

Otherwise, in the next class election, it will not be one of your people who will be chosen, but rather a god who will be forced to withdraw."

It was Zeus himself who had fallen to his knees in the centre of the realm and was speaking aloud. From the moment James had made his choice, he had been making efforts to persuade Nyx.

Olympus had an enormous number of allies from the moment Nyx was chosen. The game of the gods was bigger than thought, and many gods had declared Olympus their enemy, not wanting anyone else to join their ranks.

A gigantic war was about to unfold, and the reason for this was that James had somehow managed to choose Nyx.

"If this isn't fate itself, oh Lady Nyx, I beg you, it's only an order. It's not just me, it's not just Olympus, it's my father Chronos and the other titans and many other godly realms that are seeking to help us. We have been at war for a long time, and since James chose you, the number of those who have declared war on us has increased by almost 1200 per cent.

If we are pushed back, we will never recover. I'm sure those who have chosen other god classes will target James, but you, Lady Nyx, who swore to protect him, can continue to protect him with just one command."

"Tell me how I can be sure you don't just want this for the good of Olympus, young Zeus. Why should I trust you when I can destroy you and your family at will when I can drag other gods to their deaths? You do know it too, we do not fight only because we have no desire, it wouldn't even take a second for you to die."

When Nyx uttered these words against Zeus' words, Zeus brought his hand to his chest and then uttered the following words:

"It is not that I do not have the interest of Olympus in my heart, my lady. Indeed, every god and goddess in the tower knows that you can destroy us whenever you want, but every one of them knows that no one fights except Nemesis, one of your other children. Still, we worship you, and we can do nothing unless you command it.

It is an order that must exist, both for the safety of Olympus and for the safety of James, who has attracted everyone's attention."

At Zeus' words, a huge darkness swirled through the palace and then appeared behind Nyx, staring at Zeus. This was Erebus, the darkness itself.

Seeing Erebus had appeared, the Olympians suddenly began to talk, as if they had not expected to see him in such a place.

"What is Master Erebus doing here?"

"It's been almost ten million years since he last appeared!"

"Could Lady Nyx have summoned him?"

"You silly Lady Nyx has no use for Master Erebus! If anything was going to be done, Master Erebus had already done it. She does not even need to tell him, he knows his wife's desires."

"That's right, someone who can take care of everything without Lady Nyx even having to tell him, what a gigantic love...."

One after the other, the words caught the attention of the pale yet bright eyes of Nyx and Erebus. The majesty, nobility and beauty of the two of them together could not be expressed in words.

Still, Erebus, who had been caught in the middle of many words, agreed with Nyx that the matter should now be clarified, and after a small glance at the gods and goddesses around, his loud and majestic voice echoed in every corner of the palace:

"SILENCE!!!"

After this single word, silence dominated the palace, and then Nyx's soft and gentle voice was heard again:

"O young and powerful Zeus, tell us your true will, we all know you want to protect James, we can see your heart. What do you want, what do you want from me and my beloved Erebus?"

Zeus paused for a few seconds after these words and then spoke for the first time, looking into her eyes as if Nyx had permitted him:

"Olympus has always been strong, but because of your soft and stable heart, we have accepted to stay behind. We have suffered too many losses, my lady, give us orders...let us rebuild the tower with all our friends who have joined us. Protect James and ourselves."

As these words echoed through the main hall of the palace, Nyx's smile was obvious to all. No one except Erebus and his children realised that they had never once seen Nyx smile. This brought a few more words out of Nyx's caring voice:

"Very well then, young Zeus, have it your way. I and my family will support you, and I look forward to the tower you wish to create."

The realm of the gods would be shaken by these words and the game of the gods would now begin in full, and the initiator of events would be the now sleeping James himself, an ordinary human being, strong as a splinter, who needed to be protected.
