The Gate Stability Bureau received numerous emails and phone calls requesting confirmation of the facts.

However, the Gate Stability Bureau’s attitude was stubborn.

The Gate Stability Bureau’s official position was that “You will soon find out even if you don’t necessarily have to confirm.”

At this point, they had no choice but to report on it, whether they believed it or not. Whether it was true or not, it was clear that this was a golden opportunity to increase viewership.

As soon as the embargo was lifted, several broadcasting stations began reporting.

“It is now past 3 PM, and we are starting the news with a special report. There is nothing particularly special about the scene.”

“Yes, that is right. The fact that the “Tower of the Philosopher” has been lost stands out, but other than that… … Oh, there is Team Daphne over there!”

“Let me explain in order. We received news from the Gate Stability Agency about 10 minutes ago, so we suddenly flew a drone to report the news. The news we received was quite shocking… … .”

“I hope it’s not true, but I’m sending you the actual situation on the scene like this. The reason is that a monster from the next level of the “Tower of the Philosopher” has appeared.”

The citizens who were waiting for the news couldn’t help but freeze as the report from the scene continued.

* * *

Suzy stood with her team members, surrounded by buff items, and looked up at the calm sky.

Layers of white clouds covered the blue sky. The sight of the white clouds that didn’t spread or drift away and the blue moon floating in the daytime seemed very ordinary, yet strangely bizarre.

It was all because she was nervous. She

waited for about 30 minutes like this, but other than the drones flying overhead, there was no sound.

“Shouldn’t you give us a warning when it’s going to start and then disappear? “I’m dying of frustration because I don’t see any response anymore.”

Suzy grumbled as she looked at her terminal.

There were several alarms related to emergency news and evacuation orders.

As soon as she escaped from the cube where all sides were white, she immediately contacted the dedicated manager. She asked them

to keep the citizens currently in the shelters in their current locations and to issue a separate alert so that all civilians nationwide can go to the shelters.

Creusa must have told her in advance.

Kim Ha-young said that the crisis management support department was ready to respond at any time and that she would handle it without her having to explain it in detail, and hung up the phone. She

didn’t hear the details, but they would probably assign a team to protect the citizens in each section.

Suzy decided to leave everything to Ha-young. After

that, she just sat there blankly, letting time pass by.

“Is this how you usually procrastinate?”

As Suzy grumbled, Elaine smiled faintly with a tense expression on her face and grabbed the handle of the greatsword that had been stuck in the floor.

“Don’t rush me, I’ll be here soon.”

As soon as Elaine said that, the sky, which had been as bright blue as if paint had been dissolved, seemed to lose its brightness.

The next moment, it seemed to get darker again, and when she blinked and opened her eyes, the sky had become as dark as ash.

Thump, thump, thump.

Her heart pounded hard.

She wasn’t the only one who had a premonition that the time had come.

The team members who had been looking at their terminals, writing messages to their families or checking the breaking news gathered together again. Since

they weren’t a sports team, they didn’t usually cheer each other on.

But somehow, they found themselves holding hands.

Eight hands came together.

“Saint, Elaine, Team Leader. Ha… … Damn it. I can’t die here. Anyway, the one who survives will take care of my children.”

Peace, whose face was unusually pale, gritted his teeth and muttered.

It was a serious story that couldn’t be taken as a joke.

“Of course. But… … .”

As Soo-ji opened her mouth, hesitating what to say, Peace shook his head and cut her off.

“I know. I’m going to live. I’m going to live… … Damn. My legs are already numb, I think I peed myself.” She

could feel Peace’s hand trembling slightly on the back of her hand.

Soo-ji could understand how he felt.

Having seen the future herself, she was trembling even more.

The next one to speak was Saint.

Saint closed his eyes for a long time as if praying, then opened them and said.

“Peace, Elaine, the team leader. I love you all. Really. I’m lucky to have met this team, and I’m honored to be standing in last place… … Let’s do our best.”

“Do you even love a man with two kids?”

“… … W-what are you talking about?”

As usual, Peace responded jokingly to Saint’s words, and Saint responded with a sly tirade, but both of their voices were dead.

“Does Elaine have anything to say?”

When Suzy asked that, Elaine looked up at the sky with calm eyes and let out a long breath.

“I think this view is beautiful.”

Suzy cast her gaze in the direction he was looking.

The sky was getting darker, and the view of the Han River and the bridge without a single car passing by. The

stillness of the scene where everything seemed to have stopped was beautiful.

So much so that she didn’t want to lose it.

“… … It’s beautiful.”

He smiled slightly at her answer and turned to Suzy.

“In my last life, I had the chance to cook, but I didn’t know how to do anything. So I cooked Daphne a burnt chicken dish. That was the last meal I ever cooked.”

Suzy looked at him as he talked about memories she didn’t know.

He said he thought he had to learn how to cook.

He had memories I didn’t know.

With her from another timeline.

And he had memories of hell that I didn’t know.

“How is it?”

“Yes?”

“Are we better now than back then?”

Elaine smiled faintly.

“By far.”

“Do you think we’ll win?”

“… … We have to win. That’s all we have to do now.”

Just from hearing his voice, you could tell that there was little chance of winning.

But, as Elaine said, we had to win.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that we’d gotten everything we could.

We’d even visited the secret shop of the ‘Great Beings’ to get the weapons that we used in other timelines, we’d gotten as many as we could from the random draw boxes, and the ‘Great Beings’ had left us with everything they could at the very end.

If we couldn’t win after all this, then what was really the point of the bet?

We had to win .

Especially since we’d decided to let the whole world know what was going on.

“I… … have something to say. First of all, I know that I’m the youngest and most unreliable, but I’m really grateful that you’ve trusted me and followed me as the team leader all this time. I love you all.”

The sky gradually darkened and soon turned a murky gray.

The sight of the gray sky between the tall buildings of Seoul was a familiar sight.

In the reward of 〈Laurel Tree〉. Under the name of ‘νόμος’s Special Hint’.

It was the moment when the swords held in both hands were once again fixed.

After making people wait for so long, the thing began to appear and revealed its true form in an instant.

Gooooooo-

With a noise that hurt the ears, the sky was literally torn into many pieces.

It was torn into dozens of pieces, and huge things that were not even hands, feet, or tentacles emerged from between them.

The red things that were as thick as a high-rise building started from the sky and reached the ground in an instant.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom-!

The sound of tentacles hitting the ground and searching for humans could be heard here and there, and the ground where Team Daphne was standing was not safe either.

As soon as the group reflexively left the place, the ground cracked and a black hole that was difficult to guess the depth was created.

“Team Leader, check!”

As Saint shouted in a gasping voice, Suzy’s trait was activated.

[Trait 〈Gaze at Objects〉 is activated.

Status check of all monsters within 80m radius possible

〈Messiah〉 ???

– Time Overseer

– Time Guardian

– The End and Eternity

– Strength 9,999 – Stamina 89,899,988]

Suzy clenched her teeth.

‘What kind of status check is this?’

It was better not to look.

The traits weren’t displayed.

That was probably because there were no traits.

It seemed like traits like poison and bleeding wouldn’t be meaningful.

I was really scared when I saw that the health was nearly 100 times that of 〈Demiurge〉.

What about the strength? It was 5 times that of 〈Demiurge〉, which means that if you get hit by even one of those tentacles, you’ll die instantly.

A guy with such an ignorant blood supply is scarier than a guy who inflicts various status abnormalities.

“Stamina 89,899,988! Strength… … Anyway, everyone, dodge cleverly!”

Waaaaaak!

As soon as she said that, Suji dodged a tentacle that was coming at her with a slap and swung her sword.

“… … Ugh!”

The tentacles were thick, but they were too thick.

The cutting power of the 〈(White Hot) Shackles of the Dead〉 was incredible. It was enough to pierce through most armor.

However, because the physical thickness was so thick, the range that could be cut with one swing was only a part of the tentacles.
