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

Chapter 111: Truth Behind The Black Family's Bloodline (2)

"Yes, he never existed. James, you were always in control of your life, with only minor tweaks to keep you from dying, to get into the tower and start the prophecy, to finish what your ancestor started. Why are you here? Why did I want to talk to you just before you faced a Fallen God? Why did I wait for this exact moment, the one moment when no one could watch you...

Didn't you ever think about that?" Emily suddenly said.

After these words, James stood where he was took a deep breath and said, "To finish the work my ancestor started...But it was Erebus, Nyx and the others who created the Fallen Gods, or rather made them fall..."

Hearing these words, the smile on Emily's face grew even bigger and James, who saw this smile, said, "But even before the war they fought, our ancestor had already slaughtered the gods even before the church was founded..." He seemed to be trying to understand a few things.

"So you're saying Chaos made everyone forget all this? But why?" James suddenly said, and just then he was stopped by Emily.

"Look, James, your ancestor...or rather our ancestor has a strange, deep and kind of bad and good past. His name was Desmond. Desmond Black. When the tower was created, several beings were put inside the tower, with hidden blood, and hidden races.

Like elves, dwarves, demons and more...Humans have always been considered the inferior race, weaker than all of them, more fragile than all of them." Emily said.

"But all that changed when Desmond was born. He had a perfect life, maybe he wasn't born into a family with such a good financial situation or great power, but he was happy. However, a god saw this happiness as too much for them and slaughtered his family, leaving him alone. Desmond had to climb the tower and become a god, he had to destroy those who had caused him and many others pain." Emily added.

"So that's how our blood was born?" James suddenly asked.

"Yes, it was, but there was a different and sequential sequence of events. Desmond stopped just before he got to the 75th floor, just as he had cleared the 74th floor. [If I'm going to become a god to slaughter gods, it's no use giving up my humanity!] he said to himself, which resulted in him never achieving divinity."

"But he couldn't give up, he wanted revenge, he wanted humanity to be above all races, for even the gods to be unable to do what they wanted."

"Desmond had caught the attention of Chaos after dozens of battles and the banishment of several high-ranking gods to the upper levels."

"Chaos asked him what his purpose was, but Desmond chose to spit on him Chaos liked our ancestor so much that he blessed him. That day Desmond gained a great power, the power to get as close to the creator as possible. He met Nyx, and they became close friends, he saw Erebus as his brother, and he saw the goodness of Nyx's heart as a lady he could worship.

For the first time, he found holy beings that were not bad."

"Nyx and Erebus knew our ancestor?" asked James, sounding quite surprised.

"Of course. With the blessing from Chaos, Desmond was able to add even more to his incredible potential. He created a church that would only accept humans and named it "The Church of Night" in honour of his beloved brothers and sisters, Nyx and Erebus, a church that could worship them.

He had developed the humans so much that every level of society and unity from the 5th to the 75th floor had been conquered by them."

"So many gods were killed James, like you wouldn't believe, even I don't know exactly what happened, but in this connection, a rule was made that no gods and goddesses could come down from the 75th floor except for the ones Desmond allowed, Nyx, Erebus and a few others. Sun Wukong, Lucifer, Nyx, Erebus, Ra, Chronos and many others accepted and signed this agreement.

They could not go down from the 75th floor except in very abnormal situations." Emily was silent for a few seconds.

"So...the battlegrounds of the gods have been fixed as only the 75th floor and above," said James, there was no way for him to express his surprise.

"Exactly. But there was a side effect to all this James, Desmond got sick, and the many gods he fought and killed were on his neck, fully magic, mana and black spells had a side effect on him, he had killed so many gods, and so many had escaped him but were slaughtered that his body changed. He was dying." Emily said and then continued to speak:

"When he realised that he was dying, he left everything to his student and went to Chaos, who was the only remedy, at first he wished to be cured, but Chaos refused because the creator himself had warned him beforehand that something would happen to him if he slaughtered the gods in his human form, and he wouldn't get healed unless he wanted to become a god."

"It was then that a deal was struck. Desmond offered Chaos to create a universe, an infinite number of galaxies and a solar system, a world where he could live and make a life. That's how our blood was dispersed, that the Black family would not be allowed back into the tower until a certain time until someone with enough potential came along. A potential bigger than Desmond"

"That someone...." James said, his eyes flickering.

"It's you, James. You're the one Desmond told Chaos to protect until the time was right. You were chosen, James, chosen to put an end to it all, to end the tyranny of the gods that is still going on even tho they can not go down."

"Even though I know everything, I don't understand. You say our blood is strong, but why not my mum? Why not you, my aunt? Why me and not any of our ancestors?" James asked, genuinely stressed by what he was hearing.

He was sick of hearing that he had been chosen, he wanted to think that he had achieved something.

"Who knows, neither I nor any of our ancestors were called to the tower, but the tower appeared in your time, it called you, Chaos thought you were suitable." Emily answered and James, who heard this, closed his eyes and asked, "So he is already waiting for me?"

"Yes James, you must not make the mistake our ancestor made. There are not only a few gods in the billions of universes in the 24 main realities outside the tower, but as Desmond wished, we could not return to the tower until enough potential was found, and you were here. That means you can destroy the awful gods and goddesses inside and outside the tower," Emily replied.

That alone was enough to put an enormous burden on James.
