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

Gryphon Chao's body glowed again with a small light, and then he shifted back to his human form and looked around at the people. "Who are you here to see?" Chao asked suddenly, knowing that no one could refuse James while he was here, there was no one in this empire as powerful as he was.

"Cordelia," James replied. The surrounding servants and soldiers were beginning to have a strange thought that James was calling the empress directly by her name.

After all, it was well-known how strange the Empress was. Or rather, she was a rather frightening individual, ready to do anything for her people, who had even publicly executed her husband for treason.

She was a great empress who lived only for her people.

After only a minute, the empress came out onto the balcony of the palace, saw James and said with a smile, "Master Umbra, what good news that you are back." and started to approach James.

Just then she stopped where she was covering her nose and said, "Sir...I invite you to go to the bathroom, please..."

James then smiled shook his head and said "Sorry, I may have experienced a few things." with the help of the servants, he reached the bathroom of the palace.

There were a few other men in the bathroom with him. Most of them, if not all of them, were smiling. It was obvious that it was not even necessary to look at them more than once to realise that the smiling ones were nobles, they were all incredibly well-groomed and quite beautiful gentlemen. The more serious-looking men had to be the bodyguards.

The nobles who were preparing to come to James suddenly stopped and one of them asked, "Qi training?".

James rolled his head as if surprised at the modesty of the nobles standing in front of him and then replied, "Something like that. Cordelia sort of forced me into the bath."

These young men were just as surprised as the servants and soldiers outside.

"I take it you are close to the Empress?" one of the nobles asked.

James, after a few seconds of thought, replied, "Actually, we met about a week ago." The young nobles were even more surprised and curious, "I want to hear everything about your story." one of them said.

James looked like he was going to be in the bathroom for a long time.

"Should we tell him?"

At Nyx's words, all eyes turned to her.

"I don't understand how he finds people he shouldn't," Selene complained, standing with the Titans and the others as she was very interested in the 37th floor.

"We know who's the cause of this!" shouted Gaia, her gaze fixed on her son Hyperion and looking very angry.

Hyperion tried to avert his eyes from his mother.

"I just want to say that I'm not guilty, why is everyone staring at me?" questioned Hyperion.

"WHY?!" Phoebe suddenly shouted and with that Gaia's voice was heard again:

"That's a strange thing to say when almost every single inhabitant of the 37th Floor worships you. On top of that, the fact that you created the sacred Gyphons in a way, right? Do you want us to talk more?"

When Gaia said those words, Hyperion shut his mouth and sulked where he was, and then Nyx asked the same question again:

"Should we tell him?"

Erebus shook his head at Nyx's question and then replied, "If Chao didn't want to tell him, we don't need to say anything, he's already approaching James with a lot of interest, only time can tell what will happen."

With everyone in agreement on that, it was time to move on to the next topic.

Of course, the 37th floor was not the only reason Selene was here, after all the goddess of the moon could see what was going on thanks to the millions of climbers following her, anywhere she wanted. This meant that Selene was here on someone else's orders.

"We continue our search with the Aether. What we feared may have happened, Lady Nyx, we found two tears in the tower," Selene said.

Hearing these words, Nyx swallowed nervously and said, "I thought we said we agreed that this danger didn't exist...Are you saying they've gotten past the Supreme Dragons?"

Selene shook her head at Nyx's words and then replied, "We thought the Fallen Gods were connected to the outside, and have been for a long time, after the memories you showed me about it, I have learned the truth and after further research,h I am certain, my lady, that the Fallen Gods are summoned by holy beings from outside the tower."

These words fell like a weight on the entire room. No one knew what to say. After their conversation with Chaos, Nyx and Chronos were certain that the beings outside the tower had no connection to the events inside.

Unfortunately, the two were very, very wrong.

Even if they didn't know it, the white-haired woman who gave orders to the trio, who was the cause of everything that had happened since the 9th floor, everything that had happened to James, was a goddess from outside the tower. She wasn't very powerful, but even in that state, she had enough power to stand up to a medium-grade god or goddess.

The outer gods and goddesses had found a way to get inside the tower and had sent someone with enough power to be completely unnoticed.

This was the mysterious white-haired woman.

The people she gave orders to were nothing but low-ranking gods and goddesses. Nevertheless, this was a large organization. They had no way of knowing exactly how many there were. They had already seen with the help of Uranus that they had a 12-piece division, and it took a long time to destroy even one of them.

The question was how big a threat was trying to come in from outside the tower and why these forces were targeting James.
