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

Chapter 34: Imperial Palace

"What the hell?" James muttered, and Theseus, hearing this, said in a serious tone, "Umbra, you may not realise it, but you are of a higher rank than the popes of the church. Warrior of Nyx, who knows, maybe you can be considered in the rank of the lady's children, in terms of rank, of course."

James was not convinced by these words, he did not believe that he would have the same rank as the children of Nyx. The window that appeared at that very moment would prove him incredibly wrong.

[What Theseus said is true, James. My mother's orders were to see you as our equal, after all, the fact that you were able to choose my mother means that you are enough for that, and the loyalty you have, why should we not see you as our brother?]

James scratched his chin as he read what was written in the window and then asked "Who are you?", Theseus seemed surprised by the question.

"Is someone sending you a message, sir? That is a very difficult thing, almost impossible unless you are a high god like Lady Nyx, Sir Erebus or someone like my father."

After Theseus' words, another window opened in front of James, who was preparing to answer him:

["I, Moros, am known as the hateful form of doom. You may know me as the god of fate, I am the third-born child].

James smiled as he read the window and then said aloud "MOROS? Oh my God, what an honour it is to meet you! It was written that you helped me with my class skills, thank you very much!"

These words seemed to surprise Theseus even more. He had not expected James to meet one of the top gods like Moros. He usually wandered around the tower and watched the creatures, and even liked to collect mystical beasts. It was unheard of for him to speak to one of the players in person.

Even if James didn't know it, Moros was smiling in a way that even his entire family had never seen before, he didn't seem to expect such a pure answer and a happy face from James.

"Haha...what an interesting boy," Moros said, even Nyx had never seen her son like this before, it was a smiling moment.

[I'm the one who's honoured, I just wanted to tell you so you wouldn't worry. Don't care about the church, they have to do whatever you say, you can even get them to join the guild.]

After another message from Moros, James smiled and then scratched his chin again, this time with a huge smile on his face as he seemed to be thinking.

"Huh....I've got a much better idea.....I'll have the guild's building built by the church. If they can control the imperial family, they can build a building. I feel like a bad person right now, but it's worth it! Not like I have money for it ey?"

Moros couldn't hold back his laughter after saying these words, the duo of Hypnos and Thanatos even thought that his brother was going crazy.

"PUAHAHAHA, what a strange person you are!"

Even if James didn't realise it, the Chaos descendants were preparing to make him the first person to make Moros laugh.

With that he looked again at the women around him and then gestured for one of them to come over, the woman who had come to James with great haste clasped her hands together and waited for what he was going to say with her eyes shining.

If James had said that he was not afraid, he would certainly have told a lie, he looked at Theseus and then at the woman with a strange expression on his face.

"How can I meet those two old people?" James suddenly asked, and the woman suddenly whistled.

After an ear-piercing whistle, a carriage came in front of James and Theseus at an incredible speed.

Theseus seemed to be trying hard not to laugh, which was understandable, and James, who realised this, looked at him and said, "I swear the god Theseus don't laugh."

Theseus, who heard this, bowed his head and with his thin voice due to holding himself, said, "With your permission, Umbra, I'm going to do my daily work." and left the environment without even giving James the right to speak.

James looked at the carriage in front of him and had to squint his eyes because of the high amount of brightness.

Each of the women following him was standing around the carriage, and when James looked again at the woman who was looking at him with her bright eyes, he saw that she was pointing at the carriage. She seemed to be a very kind woman.

"Thank you," James said, and then he got into the carriage.

When he entered the carriage, he sat on one of the seats inside and his whole body trembled very badly.

"Is there a problem, sublime one?"

The woman who got into the carriage with him seemed surprised by James's sudden trembling.

"Nothing is wrong, I am surprised at the comfort of the seat, it may be the most comfortable thing I have ever sat on in my life."

With this answer from James, the journey started. They would go to the centre of the city, where the imperial palace was. The church was inside the palace. So wherever you look, they had about an hour's drive, and James used this chance to close his eyes.

Despite the dirt and filth on him, he had to rest, even if he was ashamed of dirtying this carriage, which was perhaps very valuable here.

When he opened his eyes again, an unexpected sight would greet him.

-----

"What the hell is this?" James looked out of the cariage and saw over a hundred people gathered in front of the palace.

Sleep was flowing from his eyes, even if he had slept for close to an hour, he was still tired, having slept for close to 10 hours maximum in recent days.

The bruises under his eyes were already caused by this.

When the carriage door opened and the woman inside got out, James followed her and left the vehicle.

"Welcome, honourable Umbra! The holy one!"

When James looked where the voice came from, he saw the old woman who had spoken to him only half a day ago, at least she seemed to have an easy job here.
