Tower chapter 261 ascending the
chessboard you are aware that what I
desire to hear is not this icho retorted
how could ichio be oblivious to the
truth residing at the summit of the seal
Tower especially after having been
deceived for two lifetimes no it is not
yet the time you are not prepared to
confront the so-called Truth for you
lack sufficient despair Chan's words
left hiio stunned in place the candle
Dragon had revealed to him that its
enigmatic Master seemed eager to witness
the Visage of humanity at its most
desolate why ichio took note of this and
fortuitously it became applicable in
this instance yet cheni insisted that he
was not desperate enough what would
suffice for True despair this query was
destined to remain unanswered as cheni
appeared disinclined to respond but he
left behind a statement rich in
implication despair can also be a form
of Hope and those who plunge you into
genuine despair have never been I but
rather it is you yourselves should you
perceive despair as your adversary then
you have ventured down a path you ought
not to tread hope has always existed
however your vision has become skewed do
not lead others astray what could his
words possibly signify icho pupils
constricted suddenly although chin had
articulated only a few cryptic phrases
he comprehended every single one indeed
he understood them all if he were to be
considered an opponent then their
failure was inevitable for he was not
their true adversary I have already
bestowed hope upon you do not misdirect
your efforts your ultimate aim is not to
eliminate me why ichio grasped the
meaning behind his words yet it felt
utterly incomprehensible if their foe
was not the Creator God then who could
it be or perhaps had he misinterpreted
the message it was conceivable that
their battle was merely against an
avatar or a fragment of the Creator God
and they need not confront the true
deity at all observing icho lost in
thought cheni suddenly extended his
right hand and lightly tapped his
forehead you are acquainted with the
rules I may overlook your previous
remarks but you must comprehend that my
reason for granting you rebirth was not
to have you stand before me in such a
guise icho smiled unexpectedly it was
the first time he had smiled since
encountering chiny I shall not divulge
today's events to anyone until the day
the game descends I shall keep this all
to myself await the moment for I shall
Ascend to the summit of the tower after
the game's arrival and then approach you
to uncover the truth of this world and
then I shall kill you a grin gradually
spread across chenk lips indeed
precisely that this is the very phrase I
yearn to hear I eagerly anticipate that
de arrival come now icho transition from
a mere PA to the one wielding the pieces
a game of chess requires two players to
commence do you recall the match between
yio and the Lord of mist ichio commanded
the pieces of humanity while his
opponent wielded an array of
unreasonable tokens indeed this
encapsulated the essence of the game
alternatively the pieces in Yo's grasp
represented the players while the Lord
of Miss strategy embodied the entire
seal land it is undeniable that this was
a dismal hand yet if one could
Revitalize a poor hand it could could
transform into a remarkable one upon
leaving the white space ichio was
unaware of how he had emerged but that
was of little consequence What mattered
was that he had grasped the game's
chessboard exiting the game he removed
the login device the offline celebration
continued Lively and harmonious as he
gazed upon the faces before him icho
gradually clenched his fists at that
moment Jang Chan approached with a wine
glass in hand didn't see you go to meet
the developers you're back so soon icho
smiled do not forget the competition has
