both the same equally untrustworthy I
will not be fooled twice by the same
lesson hand over the Box ichio upon
hearing this tossed the panko treasure
box to Lucifer surprising him slightly
as he instinctively grasped the Box
tightly is this the real deal
interesting are you not afraid I might
go back on my word icho retorted with a
cold laugh you would not do such a thing
Lucifer chuckled oh are you so confident
how can one lack confidence when youo
has through countless reincarnations
explored Myriad methods this is at
present the optimal solution just as Yin
Wong was about to speak he noticed
Lucifer suddenly pointing a finger since
someone had already expressed their
stance then may you proceed well yen W
was momentarily taken aback and then
bang Yen Wong's corporeal form abruptly
shattered six streams of demonic energy
instantly dispersing within him causing
the crowd to Surge forward vying for the
magical Essence yet ichio Stood Still
unperturbed Lucifer turned his gaze
towards ichio remarking you are quite
unique do so what do you intend to do
next ichio let out a weary sigh what
could he do aside from allowing history
to unfold as it was meant to what else
remained
thus one must Ponder what has icho truly
altered through countless rebirths in
the end nothing has changed history has
once again plunged into the dark AG g.
i245 during the Dark Age following the
Demon's arrival over a decade prior the
world had succumbed to utter chaos led
by ichio many began an unrestrained
Ascent various calamities were Unleashed
first Europe sank due to the actions of
two sacred domains followed by the
dissolution of the United Nations until
years later when people finally paused
to reflect they realized everything had
become irrevocably lost the continent
Beyond luong no longer harbored space
for human existence this world had been
entirely subjugated by deities and
disasters some halted their progress
glancing back only to discover that
their actions had rought Devastation
Upon This World their steadfast belief
that ascending to the Pinnacle of the
tower would save Humanity began to waver
if in the end not a single human
remained what purpose would there be in
Saving Humanity gradually some ceased
their Ascent having lost loved ones or
perhaps it was more than just loss what
they had forfeited had become Beyond
expression unlike ichio who pressed
onward regardless of all their hearts
had grown cold bit by bit those around
icho dwindled until at last upon
reaching the 65th floor only icho
remained he gazed at his aged hands the
white beard and hair narrating that his
physical energy had reached its utmost
limit his face was etched with wrinkles
and his frame was exceedingly gaunt
resembling an elderly man nearing his
Twilight years it was nearing the endio
touched his chest feeling his heartbeat
slow to a crawl having exhausted his
time currently his realm stood at the
Pinnacle of the seventh tier even after
Millennia he should still appear
youthful yet now his life energy
flickered like a candle nearing its
extinguishment staring at the portal on
the 65th floor
ichio feebly placed his hand upon it but
ultimately withdrew am I old am I truly
ichk Vision became somewhat blurred as
he exhaled deeply turning to look behind
him once there had been many at his back
yet now only a tearful woman remained I
asked this enough whyo is this enough
everyone has departed let us leave as
well promise me do not torment yourself
any longer will you icho slowly extended
his right hand and the woman grasped it
tightly Let Us return home shall we ichk
breath was labored in the Dark Age there
would be no home only reaching the tower
Summit could bring closure but what of
reaching the summit to save a world
devoid of humanity icho everyone is
