CHAPTER 82: CAUSING UNREST THROUGH THE ENTIRE ETHEREAL TOWER

"Right, I also still have thing as well" looking at one particular notification that he thinks he pushed back for quite some time already, this making him wonder how long can he push this back as this news would more than likely shake the tower to its core, after all, even the Ethereal Tower itself thinks that this feat is something worthy of the Hall of Fame.

[Detected that the ascender has accomplished a feat no one else has done in the entirety of the Ethereal Tower. This is a feat that will forever resound in the ears of all the denizens of the Ethereal Tower and everything under its jurisdiction, and is worthy of a place in the Ethereal Tower’s Hall of Fame.]

[This is a mandatory process and refusal is not permitted, however, the ascender/s who accomplish such achievement can choose to remain anonymous. They can also reveal their name anytime in the future if they want.]

[Detected that the ascender used a nickname: False Immortal in another Hall of Fame achievement. Would you like to announce your identity as the first ascender of the Ethereal Tower to ever practice multiple(3) S-grade techniques at the same time? Y/N]

As he reads through these words, Azrael once again wonders if he can push it back even more, and seemingly warning him to already decide about this new Hall of Fame worthy achievement that he had accomplished, another floating azure screen pops up into his face as he is contemplating about that.

[Detected that the ascender is taking too long to decide about the most recent Hall of Fame feat they achieved. Thus, the tower will take the liberty of revealing the identity of the ascender who completed the feat after the last grace period.]

[Time before the grace period ends: 9 minutes and 55 seconds]

Now looking at this new notification that pops out of nowhere, the young man immediately picks the no option in a rush, out of fear of his name being revealed, after all, even such powerful being like Xue Qingyue is shocked when she heard of what he achieved, so he can only imagine what would happen to him if his identity, even if it is just an alias, were to get associated with the creation of the Meditation Harmonizing Method.

[Global Announcement: Through the combination of extreme effort, sky-high guts a strongly tempered will and a talent that transcends common sense, an anonymous ascender manages complete a feat that no one else has ever accomplished in the entire records of the Eternal Tower, creating a method to use multiple techniques simultaneously without any repercussions to the well-being of the one using it.]

[This is a feat worthy of everyone’s respect and will be a tale myth that will eternally be passed on through words of mouth.]

After such sudden announcement from the Ethereal Tower, everyone, and by that even those who are beyond the current scope of Earth’s humanity are shocked beyond compare as they heard of such thing, this shock particularly for those existences and civilizations that already climbed high into the tower, as they are the ones who knows the most of the difficulty of achieving such feat.

Hence why empires, kingdoms, khanates, cults religions, sects as well as all other sorts of organizations and groups so long as they have the spare power starts gathering information about this ascender who managed to achieve such feat, the tension rising into the high heavens as all of these powers, whether weak or strong, knows completely well the significance of this matter is.

Said significance being exactly what the enigmatic beauty told to the one who created this method, a method worthy enough for even the strongest of force to spend all their effort, all their riches and might to acquire and defend such technique, even if the entirety of the tower’s populace were to turn against them.

"Search all corners of the tower! Do not spare even a little detail, even from the most untrustworthy people, I want all of you to organize a force that will compile, examine and verify the truth to all the statements our information gathering forces will acquire, I want it as soon as possible, preferably before the end of today!!!"

As they feel the urgency of acquiring such technique, the true hegemons trying to fight for supremacy in the tower commands the subordinates before them, said subordinates understanding the importance of this matter as well hence the moment they were dismissed, they immediately acted themselves to follow their leader’s order, making sure everything is perfect down to the last minute of detail.

This sort of thing wasn’t only happening on these hegemonic forces though, as even those forces which are beneath them in strength are ordering the same thing as well, the only difference being the scale and the efficiency in their operation would be paling in comparison to these hegemonic forces.

In a place high on the tower, a vast ocean of pure, royal blue with a cloudless sky above it can be found by anyone brave enough to even dare trying to go to this place, a place of guaranteed death masked as a tropical paradise that will attract even the most supreme experts in its embrace.

And yet despite all the dangers one could ever imagine being in this seemingly calm place, a tru tropical island lies right in the middle of it, seemingly undisturbed by anything else as it just lies there without ruin, seemingly a great resting place for anyone braving the ocean around it.

And on this island, an ancient and desolate figure stands in a certain spot, his figure unmoving as if he were there before the beginning of time and would be there beyond its end as well, said figure just standing there, looking up to the skies.

"The heavens are changing... the tower... is it finally choosing its champion?" looking at the void in the sky as if they are seeing another thing other than the blue that spans all the way to the horizon, this ancient figure said with a trace of anticipation in his voice, a smile appearing on his face as if he finally found something that he had been looking for after waiting for a long, long time.
