Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

Chapter 182 182: Reward Floor

Raphael was also somewhat surprised to see the person before them advancing closer. It was even more strange since they had just seen him die! The person was none other than Alion, who was dressed in a different attire. He seemed somewhat young based on his looks, and his aura was also slightly weaker than what they had seen before.

p "The future... Or rather the past self of Alion?" Lia asked, frowning. "If he is here, and he clashes with Raphael in the Castle of Infinity, shouldn't Raphael's past self be here as well?"

"Don't think too much about it. The more you think about it, the more it'll give you a headache. You'll soon understand everything." Azekiel calmly answered before he pushed the door open.

He stopped looking at Alion, after making sure who this guy was.

"The entire timeline inside the tower is really messed up," Raphael stated, frowning. "There are so many things that would've created a paradox in the real world, destroying it, but here... Alion was right. Things are worse than a simple time paradox. It's like the reality is already fragmented, thanks to the Tower of Sin."

"It's not because of the Tower of Sin. The reality had already been fragmented since the existence of time. It's just that you only noticed it now, which is where the troubles begin," Azekiel responded, taking his first step out in the open.

Raphael also stepped out with Lia, still occasionally glancing at Alion. Alion couldn't see them, so he didn't find the staring off. He also couldn't hear them. He could only see Azekiel, but Azekiel only looked at him for a brief moment and not too long.

Even though Alion was quite curious about Azekiel and who he was, he tried to avoid any interaction at this point, since he wanted to first understand this floor before doing anything.

He didn't intervene in anything for now. Even Alion left the place.

He also took a look outside, slightly amazed. He stood not too far from Azekiel, who was doing the same thing.

They both found this place to be quite interesting since they could see quite a lot of Kings here.

Azekiel had already explained about the existence of other Kings, so Raphael and Lia had a better time in understanding, but Alion was different.

It was his first time finding out about the existence of other Kings. Until the tenth floor, he had been quite sure that there were only seven kings, and he was the best King. However, as soon as he stepped here, he watched around three more kings in the distance.

What made him easier to recognize those three Kings was that they were carrying their Kingly Weapon of Sin in their hands. There were more people here who had no weapons, like Azekiel. It was quite possible that there were more than three kings on this floor. But how? He didn't know.

He needed to ask someone. Azekiel also seemed to be new here since he stepped out with him, so Alion didn't ask him. Instead, he approached another person.

Since Azekiel stepped on this floor first, he received the information about this floor first from his system. A few seconds later, Alion also received the information.

A screen opened up before both of them.

[Welcome to Sanctuary Floor]

[Click to know more about it!]

Azekiel clicked on the option. Alion noticed Azekiel clicking on the air as well, which made him sure that Azekiel was also a King. However, where did this King come from? Weren't there seven of them? Why were there so many? He slowly started to piece things together like everyone else arriving here did.

He believed there wasn't just one tower but more, and each tower had kings like him, who met here.

He clicked on his screen as well to see more.

The system explained the entire thing about their existing multiple towers in multiple worlds, all of which were one and the same but yet different. It talked about the towers connecting into one on the eleventh Floor. The system basically gave Alion the same explanation that Azekiel gave Raphael, but not as much in depth.

The system also informed them that it was the Sanctuary Floor. It was a reward floor where one could rest. There were no missions on this floor, but there were many rewards that they could try to get. It all depended on them as to what they could get and how.

After getting the information about what this place was, Alion scratched his chin, seemingly lost in thoughts. This just made things more complicated for him.

He thought that he was the best King to get to the Eleventh Floor in record time, but there were already more kings who came here before him. The Tower was getting more and more bizarre for him the more he tried to learn about it with each passing second.

Still, the system mentioned that there were rewards on this Floor. He knew that he needed to find those Rewards.

He swiftly left. This Floor was said to be a floor with no mission where everyone could just relax and enjoy. It was similar to the first floor for the humans. The one difference was that this Floor was for the kings.

Unfortunately, Alion didn't believe he could relax here as that was akin to wasting time. If the tower really had more kings who were just as talented as him, he needed to work even harder to create the lead, which he enjoyed up to the tenth floor. He was basically starting from scratch at the moment.

Unlike Alion, who left right away to explore the place, Azekiel didn't. He just went through all the information that was given to him by the system before closing the screen.

"Come, let's eat something before starting."

Since this was a reward Floor which was to give some relaxation to the Kings who went through so much to get there, the floor had many facilities, including the best food from each world. Not only was there food from earth, but there was also from other worlds.
