Welcome to the Magic Tower - Welcome to the Magic Tower chapter 85
85 – Endgame
The world is doomed.
The end came earlier than originally planned.
With few exceptions, the entire continent was devastated.
It wasn’t because of a wizard who reached a transcendental level and a warrior who reached divine heights. It wasn’t because of a war between two great powers.
It is true that Inse fired a signal flare, but the judgment was made in the sky.
──The Celestial Trade Commission.
All trades between humans and gods, and trades with something transcendent, all use this place as the midpoint,
Unfair transactions that destroy cause and effect are also tried here.
For example, an angel from heaven—the financial manager watched Jinwoo Lee from early on.
“Hey, are you a human the golden god is watching over? He gave me incredible powers. He is still just a bud, but this is an irrational ability that transcends the rules of the world. Disrupt causality. Guilty.”
Land! Earth! Earth!
In this way, the causal rate that the world can endure has decreased. The wear and tear was repeated as he posted crazy margins in various markets.
“The next issue is more serious.”
Of course, Lee Jin-woo was not the only one who broke the rules of the world.
“Recently, the favoritism of the gods has gone too far.”
“It must be more so because they will be within reach soon. The gap between boulders will increase day by day.”
“Those who have lived a long time and will live a long time are more greedy.”
An apostle who makes deals with the gods.
In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, he dedicates more than the limit, this regular who even beat his causality.
Each of them was a good customer of Heaven’s Trade, and was a big headache.
“…… Gods can even communicate words. There is a minimum level.”
“Obviously, on the other hand, the bottom ones… ….”
“That is terrible.”
But not only the celestial god was transcendent. There were people who pioneered their own destiny on the ground in the past, and there were people who made fun of someone else’s destiny underground.
It was the so-called ‘devil’.
Assuming that the heavenly god accepts more offerings to grant the apostle’s wish, they played a trick on the contract from the beginning.
An unfair transaction in which a wish that can only be fulfilled with an offering of ’10’ is received with ’20’ or double it.
Most of the demons were not for the sake of the apostles, but were thoroughly trading for their own profit.
And, the apostle of demons used to destroy the law of cause and effect even more than the apostle of God.
Three branches on the other side of the world… No, two giant forces that are in fact bisecting.
The Great War between Musingung and the Magic Tower.
An apostle who trades with the gods for their own profit or loss, both inside and outside.
An apostle of the devil who burns everything for his most important wish.
The point was the violation of the non-aggression pact by Lin Xiaofang, the sorceress who had escaped from the cage.
She broke the rules by using her civilian abilities to collect tribute beyond the limit.
The law of causality that has been worn out by the apostle at a terrifying speed has finally reached its limit.
“It’s over.”
Royalty—The Celestial Trade Commission, which determines the treatment, has taken a very simple method to pay off debts that have grown beyond their means.
It was a place destined to fall to the gods, demons, and other transcendental beings anyway.
In that case, all you have to do is let them pay their debts on their own.
So the committee agreed.
Sold the district half a year earlier than originally planned.
It was disposed of as a neutral zone, not under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Trade Commission.
The effect that ruling had on the planet was simple.
All human beings have been able to feel magical power, and have been targeted by creatures outside the realm.
Gods and demons have invaded.
The different races and monsters from the other world started flowing in.
There was no generous reprieve like the dungeon.
Suddenly, an ogre landed on the bare ground, and a dragon appeared through an open passage in the sky.
The goblin rising from the sewers was no big deal.
Some groups of orcs went wild, and some hid themselves in the forest and called their tribes out every minute.
All the cutting edge of the world has become meaningless.
The power to all facilities was cut off, and all firearms were dead.
The only thing that was maintained was alchemy or magically enchanted items.
So mankind had no time and no way to find monsters that were outnumbered like cockroaches.
In the meantime, it was all the more so because I had to deal with an internal enemy who couldn’t control my abilities.
In that way, society was quickly turned into a mess.
The Apocalypse has arrived.
Those with special powers who had prepared him in advance went to another world and tried to survive, while people with ambiguous abilities and civilians were left unattended.
Many lives were lost, but there were also many who did not give up on themselves.
The war against the monsters, the struggle against the madmen inside mankind continued for several days.
Paradise did not exist anywhere in the world.
However, even in such desperate moments, there are bound to be people who shine.
They would be called heroes in ancient times, and soon they became the center of the group.
It has been established as the hope of the few human beings.
Gods, demons, and transcendent bodies of the outer world watched the shining ones carefully.
And after 15 days from the beginning of the destruction, the bidding period came.

Diring!
[ Yes, your purchase has been completed. ]
All of the pillars that barely supported humanity were selected and sold to the Transcendental Body.
The group that depended on them immediately collapsed.
The country that had lost its function has now evaporated without a trace.
The whole world, without exception, is approaching the threshold of destruction.
“… ….”
It was around that time that the elites of Musingung Palace and Selberg Magic Tower returned to royalties.
“…… What is this?”
“Urazil.”
“That sucks.”
What they faced was ruins.
It was only ruins.
*
From then on, time passed again, and a foundation was laid for them to stay, albeit temporarily.
In the process of getting there, it was divided into those who somehow escaped to another world in order to survive, and those who struggled in this world to survive with everyone.
For various reasons, the number of members of the expedition was significantly reduced compared to the beginning.
Still, they managed to create a shelter by gathering the survivors around them.
It was an insignificant temporary shelter, but it was a base built by driving out the surrounding monsters.
Maybe it was the only shelter in the world.
However, such a title did not bring any comfort to the survivors.
Someone favored by the gods, or his acquaintances, had the good fortune of having all family members alive, but the vast majority were not.
With the exception of a handful of people, the end was fair.
Humanity is extinct.
Former status, wealth, age, and country were meaningless.
In such an era, it was rare for family members and acquaintances to survive, no, even to be alive in the first place.
It was truly a miracle.
“Mother, Father, I brought you a meal.”
And Shin Hye-young, an enemy magician, was the lucky one to enjoy the miracle.
My parents whom I wanted to save so much—because both my mother and father were surviving in this chaos.
Yes, I’m glad.
Shin Hye-young’s eyes and lips drew an arc. She set the tray with her three rations on her table and lifted their portions separately.
It was the least popular item in the shelter called [Mild rice porridge].
I don’t know how it was made, but I couldn’t taste it at all, except for the texture of the rice soaked in water.
“But don’t complain too much. At least you know that I got 3 servings because I was killed, right? Yeah, yeah, I wouldn’t eat this if I was alone. Even though it was once every few days, you probably got chicken or pizza too?”
Then it would have tasted much better…….
But I mean.
I still feel very fortunate that I am not alone.
“Now, have you finished eating?”
Shin Hye-young smiled brightly and looked at her own family as she lay dead on her bed.
They don’t answer anything.
It was not lying in the aftermath of war and the apocalypse. Due to the curse that existed before that time, he was on the verge of life and death.
And he was still alive.
I don’t know when I’ll die, but I was alive right now.
It was a great comfort to have them by my side, even if it was in the form of a return post.
It was her only hope that it would last forever no matter what the cost.
Again, it was an uncertain future.
“Hey, what should I do?”
The blonde-haired witch leaned over her bedside and looked at the faces of her family.
The day of selection has come again, the time for bidding.
It was a day of opportunity to buy something and move to another world, but it was also a day of despair.
Shin Hye-young remembered.
Tomorrow, God descends.
