judging by the outcome he was likely
waiting for the players yet what could
he achieve by seizing the players bodies
unless there was something that could
only be accomplished through the players
vessels for instance Tio reached the
real world no that doesn't quite fit
either aold could not possibly know of
the existence of the real world he could
only uncover its presence after
occupying a body thus this hypothesis
fails to hold that so what exactly is
aold scheming he mentioned preparations
over this span of time indicating he had
long harbored plans and these plans
could only be fulfilled through the
identity of a player therefore the
answer must be one of two the first is
to evade the reset after the game
descends everything within the game will
reset returning to the initial State
upon descending into reality however if
aold were to obtain the body of the
player his memories and soul could evade
this reset this is not an impossibility
perhaps aold has long anticipated this
day and has already begun his
preparations yet there is one thing that
ich cannot comprehend if the sole
purpose is to escape the reset and
preserve memories why not simply wait in
the real world until the game arrives
why turn it all or is it that he is
entirely unaware of the real world or
that has yet to exit the game this seems
rather puzzling unless there is
something in the real world that
compelled him to return or perhaps
directly blocked his exit this is a
possibility nevertheless icho leans more
towards the latter Aug aspires to become
a deity upon reaching the sanctum level
one nearly touches the Zenith of all
Power Systems if he seeks to advance
further there is but one path that is to
ascend to Divinity yet the concept of
divinity is exceedingly nebulous with no
clear path to follow this world is bound
by the constraints of Soul locks which
confine a Soul's level to below the
Mythic tier to unlock this seal numerous
methods exist the most straightforward
is to directly inherit a Divine position
this entails undergoing trials set by
other deities akin to Loki and the
angels Divine tests as for the other
means to break the soul lock ichio is
aware of only one
that is to slay a God and usurp their
Divinity there are also various
opportunities within the tower but icho
has merely heard of them and their
feasibility remains uncertain for
instance the Ascension well the cloud
climbing path and so forth most of these
however are exclusively available to
players if Aug aims for Divinity then
his seizure of Jang Chin's body becomes
plausible yet icho fears that this
fellow's Ambitions May extend far beyond
that what Aug seeks could be far more
profound
suppose he truly ascends to Divinity
wouldn't that mean the game reset would
obliterate everything but what if he
could evade the reset not only could he
retain his Divine status but he could
also preserve all his memories and
directly Escape the Tower of seals this
conjecture is utterly terrifying imagine
the sealed realm descends upon reality
and before the players have even begun
their Ascent a god bursts forth the game
would come to an abrupt end in his
previous life aold seemingly failed the
game had a mere 5-year duration and
players progress had not reached the
level of divinity however this time is
different the flow of time within the
game this time is tenfold that of the
previous life if the game were to
descend 5 years later that would equate
to 50 years within the game 50 years
even if several thousand gods were to be
born within the game icho would not be
surprised it seems he must pay close
attention to augle this time I in his
previous life icho had never encountered
augle he believed the other party merely
existed as a background character but
