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

Chapter 81: Mount Olympos

As James walked through the portal, he saw Nemesis. The sight of Nemesis smiling seemed to put him in a strange frame of mind.

"Welcome, James."

Suddenly, because Nemesis had spoken to him, he pulled himself together and approached Nemesis with a smile.

It was only when he gave Nemesis a huge hug that he realised what was going on around him.

"Well...Welcome son."

James gently stepped away from Nemesis when he heard this and left her in her confused and embarrassed state.

When he turned his head, he saw a throne and two people sitting on it.

James' smile seemed to have gone through the roof as he ran quickly and then stopped in front of one of the two people on the throne.

This person was Nyx.

When James stopped in front of Nyx, he gently took her by the hand and lifted her from her seat, gave her a big hug, and then pulled out a rose from his inventory.

Nyx looked surprised, thinking she was going to get something other than a rose.

Everyone's mouths were agape, no one had thought that James would hug both a high woman like Nemesis and a fierce goddess like Nyx the moment he stepped out of the portal.

James had a lot of nerve.

Nyx had a little "why?" look on her face after taking the rose, and when James realised this, he spoke:

"This rose reminds me of the first time I saw you, my lady, or rather the first time you pierced the sky and watched me on the first floor. A huge darkness descending to a white field, a pair of eyes with pupils shining with perfect beauty. The beauty and colour of the flower reminded me of you, so I wanted to give you this as a gift."

As James finished saying these words, Nyx smiled and hugged him even tighter than the one James had just given her.

As soon as James was released, he turned his head to Erebus and said, "Pleased to meet you, sir, you're a bigger man than I thought."

Erebus was shocked at the audacity of the young man in front of him and a small laugh echoed through the room.

After that, James had climbed down from where he had been standing and was back at Nemesis' side.

Nemesis's ears were red, she looked embarrassed, and she was still frozen in place, she was actually acting like a teenager.

James turned to Moros and then asked, "Master Moros, is Nemesis all right?"

When Moros shook his head from side to side, James gently took Nemesis by the shoulders and shook him several times.

When Nemesis somehow came to, he pulled the Necklace of Life from his inventory.

In front of everyone, James gently handed the necklace to Nemesis and then said, "I don't know how much use it will be to you, my lady, as you are already a goddess, but the Philosopher's Stone may help you, and I present you with this gift in the hope that you will never leave me."

Nemesis seemed to stay where he was once more, James was beginning to wonder if they were in a comedy film, but he chose to ignore it all the same.

He gently pushed Nemesis' hair aside and put the necklace on her, before looking around and asking, "So? What do we do now?"

As James asked this question, Nyx descended the steps one by one and then came over to James and patted him on the cheek.

James didn't realise what was going on until Nyx suddenly spoke:

"First of all, let me apologise. My job was not only to give you your class but to look after you and make sure you were safe. I failed, and I hope you will forgive me for that."

When James heard these words, he seemed to have a strange expression on his face.

"Well...I mean, I'm not dead so don't be ridiculous. I'm my own man, if I die it will be because I let my guard down."

When James said those words out loud, the others around him chuckled and especially Nyx let out a deep breath. James didn't understand what was going on.

"Normally I'd be the one to surprise you, my lady, but this time I'm the one surprised, can anyone explain what's going on?" asked James suddenly, wondering what was going on.

With that Nyx took James by the hand and began to walk gently, James of course did not resist and walked with Nyx.

James' eyes widened as Nyx brought him in front of one of the huge windows in the lounge.

"I'm the reason they attacked you, James. I protect this landscape, this beauty and so much more with my presence alone, I haven't fought in a physical battle in a very long time, more like my presence prevents battles. This means that when I send you a card to choose a card and you choose me, those who dare not fight against me are drawn to you, someone who will be harder for me to protect."

James shook his head when Nyx said those words.

"Well...My Lady, I understand, but these were not things I did not know, you know...Even in the world I came from, the only person known to be stronger than you was Chaos himself. That's why when I had the chance to talk to Leyla, I asked about Chaos and a few other things. I had to find out if the gods here were the same as the ones I knew.

I mean, I already knew what was going on at the moment I chose you, and for you to blame yourself is, to put it mildly, silly, even with all the respect I have for you."

Even Erebus cringed when James uttered those words, how ridiculous it was for a mortal to insult Nyx.

Nyx, contrary to everyone's expectations, looked relieved, even teary-eyed.

"Silly huh? Hahahaha...You don't even know how happy I am that I sent you the chance to choose me...So what do you say, wanna go for a walk outside?"

James' eyes lit up with excitement and happiness when Nyx said these words, and after shaking his head in disbelief, he said, "If I answer no to this at any point in my life, please throw me off the mountain."

Mount Olympos trip was starting.
