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

Chapter 261: Invasion



"I heard the news...that you were able to kill such a being in just one day...I don't know what to say," Cordelia said. As the group entered the palace, they could see that even though the feast was over, there were still nobles milling around.

"We were lucky, if I hadn't thought of something, things probably would have been a lot worse," James replied.

As they were walking through the palace, James' eye caught the duo he had met in the palace bathroom and the look of sadness on the duo worried James.

Of course, James did not know this duo very well, but he wondered why this duo, whom he saw laughing all the time, was so sad.

That's why James had been kind and left Cordelia and the others and went to them.

"Are you all right?" James asked simply.

The two nodded their heads and then muttered, "Our city is...invaded by demons, our parents are missing, our sister is injured, we need to go to help."

As soon as James heard these words, it suddenly dawned on him that the Ancient Demon was not the only one. That's why he said, "Come with me," and then took the two of them to Cordelia and the others who were waiting for him.

"Cordelia, can you call that seer back? ASAP." she suddenly asked. Even if he was finished on this floor and could move on to the next, he could at least try to do what he could do now, which was to help the empire, with which he would most likely become great friends.

"You know what to do," Cordelia said, turning to her son, the crown prince next to her.

The crown prince bowed his head and left the scene rather quickly.

Even though Chao and Ariel didn't realise what was going on, James being so serious worried them a little.

"It seems that news has come from the duo's house. Demon raid, if the Ancient Demon is not the only one, then there is a far greater danger to the empire than the oracle has foreseen." James said suddenly and that was enough for Cordelia.

With Cordelia's orders, a few cultivators were handed dozens of scrolls and a single order to send word to every kingdom and empire around the empire.

In short, what happened in this empire could also happen elsewhere, and this could bring the end of the entire floor. This was a floor with 4 continents and almost more than twenty empires and more than a hundred kingdoms. In a word, it was MASSIVE. If all these events were happening elsewhere, it could indicate that a greater danger was coming.

Just like on the 35th floor.

This was especially frightening for James and Ariel. Ariel was much more powerful than before, after all, she had an incredible ability that allowed her to protect not only James, whom she served as his knight, but also herself.

The ability to fly through the air was already a rarity in the entire tower, even among the gods and goddesses, but Ariel had the bonus of being able to protect herself.

In short, Ariel had grown stronger, and her control over the aura was becoming deeper and deeper with each passing day.

There was no need to talk about James himself, this man had managed to put an INCREDIBLE difference between himself and the people who had come out the same number of times as him.

Maybe Ariel had caught up with James a little in speed, maybe her stamina surpassed his, and maybe her strength doubled his.

Still, with only the spells at his disposal, James could take Ariel down, and one successful strike could send the old woman to her grave.

That meant the pair had little to fear. That was true of the monsters and other things on the floor, but the main point was that the duo had risen to a pretty good position.

James's theory was confirmed when the Oracle entered the palace again. The Seer took the hands of two nobles in particular and was able to see a piece of the future in their thoughts.

There was not just one ancient demon.

There was no more The Bell of Hypnos.

James had no idea how to stop the nearly one hundred Ancient Demons he had heard about.

Should he ask the gods for help? After all, Nemesis or others might come to James' aid again. Still, he knew he shouldn't always ask the gods for help, he was no longer the innocent child on Earth, nor was he the boy who had almost died on the 9th floor.

He was older now, smarter, more intelligent, more realistic, more mature.

"Get ready Ariel, Chao, I think we're going to have to call in the whole army," James said, and Chao didn't seem to understand, but Ariel nodded and moved off.

A portal opened up right in front of Ariel and she suddenly disappeared. Neither Cordelia, Ariel, nor anyone else could understand what had happened.

"What's going on?" Chao finally asked.

James stared at his face for a few seconds and then said, "I'm calling for help. Don't you know who I am, Chao? The Church of Night, the Sun Empire, the White Empire, the Ice Elves, the Ice Dwarves and the Demi-Demons of Ice. Anyone who has agreed to do my bidding," he replied, then straightened his posture and added, "If there is to be a war, I will be on the front lines, with everything I have."

He then turned to the duo and said, "We need to find a way to protect your sister and your people, I can't go out there alone until my army gets here, I don't have the mana or aura at full level."

Chao suddenly stepped forward and replied, "The Ancient Demons' attacks are barely penetrating my body, I can at least repel them for two days."

"You need to get back to your wife and child now Chao, you've already helped more than enough," said James, he really couldn't face Xia or the newborn baby Gryphon if Chao died or if something happened to him.

"Or they could come here, couldn't they?" muttered Chao, maybe he didn't trust the people of the empire but he trusted James and his family would be safe here.

James smiled when he heard those words and then nodded his head and ordered, "Have it your way, you have three days, come back with your wife and child, Chao."

No one present at that moment expected James to give orders to a holy being.

Chao, on the other hand, nodded his head in the face of this order and then suddenly left the palace by saying, "Yes, as you order."

"I'll be in my room," James said and returned to the room he had been shown before, it was time to use the ability he had long wished to use.

James sat cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes, focusing on his internal energy.

"Destiny," he said suddenly and literally lost all sense of feeling around him. It was an ability that could be used once every 6 months and could see a possible event in the future.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that everything was on fire. He saw the sky split open and a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him. He could see the imperial palace razed to the ground and the mangled bodies of Cordelia and her family, Chao and his family, Eve, Datura and Aether, and finally Ariel.

Suddenly he was brought back to reality and managed to come to himself.

"No..." he said to himself, his eyes wide and his body shaking from head to toe.

Suddenly he was greeted with a message [Are you okay?] and then he swallowed and muttered, "Possible future...worse than I thought."

[Do you want us to send people?]

"If possible, you can send one person to this palace, but I don't want to be involved in the war. How can I surpass my ancestor if you always hold my hand and take care of everything for me?" he replied.

It was indescribable how proud these words made every one of his followers, James was trying to do things on his own for the first time in front of their eyes. It was as if the little boy had suddenly matured.

"It is quite obvious that the Ancient Demons are not as powerful as the Ancient Giant we encountered earlier on the 35th floor, but if we are careful we can win. The future I see may not come true." James said suddenly and then stood up, went to bed and lay down.

He was greeted with another message [Sleep, you deserve it] and with that he fell asleep, he needed to get some rest.

After all, when he woke up, everything would be close to being ready, everyone would be waiting for him, and perhaps the greatest danger James would ever face would be revealed.

This was the final plan of the three ordered by the white-haired woman.
