Thud, thud, thud... ... .

The regular sound of footsteps creates a small echo as they hit the stone walls.

I am currently climbing the stairs.

The stairs to the top floor!

“Huh.......”

It was when I let out a soft exhale.

[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ grumbles that he is the one who wants to sigh at the crazy content consumption speed.]

[‘World-building Words’ examines whether you are nervous again.]

[‘Balance-Adjusting Critic’ scolds you for not pretending to be weak when you are overbalanced.]

“Ah, I’m not nervous, I’m excited. Conquering the Tower of Trials is just around the corner, and I wonder what kind of boss will be on the last floor.”

The Tower of Trials was unfinished during the first climb.

So I had no choice but to defeat the ogre predator Obsculia in the ‘Slime Farm Cave’ and the host of the Demon Sword, Ileon Odreck in the ‘Seal of the Holy Sword Hill’ instead of clearing the 299th and 300th floors.

However, the Tower of Trials is now normally completed, unlike back then! Bosses have appeared on the 299th and 300th floors.

In fact, I had just recently come back from clearing the new boss on the 299th floor.

[I am dissatisfied with the fact that I cleared the boss on my first try, even though ‘The Tongue That Balances’ is a new boss.]

[I evaluate ‘The Eye That Watches Over the Chaos of All Creation’ as being a boss that is a direct copy of Obsculia, so it is old-fashioned like a new one.]

It was as the gods said. What awaited me on the 299th floor was a horde of ghosts that looked exactly like Obsculia.

Even the environment of that floor reminded me of a slime-style cave dungeon.

[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ already used 300 types of bosses, so it was difficult to squeeze out more creativity.]

Still, I can’t deny that it was a sloppy job since it copied the existing dungeon.

I had that thought for a moment... ... .

“Ah, cotton ball!”

The flying squirrel was sobbing with its black eyes fluttering.

“What the architect said is all right. Of course. I understand everything.”

[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ is comforted.]

[‘World-building Words’ stares closely at your left shoulder.]

Since the flying squirrel seemed to be trembling, I covered its body with my right hand.

The god’s gaze was not blocked by my palm, but the trembling definitely seemed to have decreased.

Before I knew it, I had reached the entrance to the 300th floor.

A large, intricately and ornately engraved iron arch. It was clearly different from the entrances I had passed through so far.

I had felt it the first time I climbed it, but it definitely gave me a strong feeling that the final boss would appear.

‘What could be beyond this?’

Did they copy the dungeon I cleared the first time, like the 299th floor? If so, would something similar to the fallen demon sword host, Ileon Odreck, appear on the 300th floor?

‘Then it will be over soon.’

[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ rolls his eyes and sweats.]

Is it because of my mood? Why is the architect’s reaction so suspicious?

Well, for now.

“I’ll go in.”

You can check it out yourself.

Thud!

I lightly pushed the palm of my hand and the heavy iron door split open on its own. The scenery that appeared as soon as my vision opened was as expected.

With the horizon as the boundary, a cloudless blue sky and a red field stained with blood divide the world in two.

It was the same environment as the ‘Sword of the Holy Demon Sealed Hill’ dungeon. Then, I thought the boss would be obvious, so I looked around without any tension. But.

<Hello?>

“......!”

The soft voice made my whole body tense up to the max. I raised my stiff head and looked at the opponent.

A black-haired woman wearing a gothic dress was holding a black fleur-de-lis. She looked like the incarnation of the god of death.

She tilted her head slightly crookedly. She spoke to me with a provocative and evil smile.

<I, Reed, decided to destroy the world.>

“......Crazy.”

[‘The Inspector of the Secret of the Heavenly Secrets’ is shocked.]

[‘The Words That Build the World’ shouts that this concept is a completely wrong character interpretation!]

[‘The Cynical Man Who Adjusts Balance’ evaluates that the personality synchronization rate is not bad.]

[‘The Scales That Judge the Soul’ doesn’t really matter and I am very satisfied with the AU worldview.]

[‘The Eyes That Watch Over the Chaos of All Creation’ is... ....]

“Architect.”

I picked up the flying squirrel hanging from my shoulder and brought it in front of my face.

“Please explain.” 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The flying squirrel, who flinched, immediately gave up on everything and slumped down. And then it started to cry pitifully.

[‘Trial Tower Architect’ confesses that he wanted to make the final boss the strongest monster.]

[‘Trial Tower Architect’ says that no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t find a model better than you, and blames your monstrous Oval.]

“.......”

Suddenly treated as a monster.

The current situation was clear. The last enemy I had to defeat was... ... .

[<System> The top floor boss of the Tower of Trials, ‘Corrupted Shin Seong-gyeong who loves chaos and evil’ has appeared!]

I became the Demon King.

<I’m going to destroy any world that doesn’t love him.>

“Hey, are you crazy? Don’t say that to my face!”

I don’t even know what to call the other person. The 300th floor me? The corrupted version of me? The lead girlfriend?

It’s all weird!

I thought about it, but for the sake of my mental health, it would be better to completely typecast him. Let’s call him the final boss.

That was when I finally decided on a title.

<Come to think of it.>

The final boss's red, contaminated eyes flashed.

<You didn't love him either. I'll get rid of you too.>

“......!”

The battle began without warning.

The moment the final boss took a step, the distance between her and me narrowed in an instant.

Before my mind could make a decision, my trained body reacted immediately. I summoned Livli and defended the front.

Kaaaaang-!

As the metal burst into tears, a tingling sensation surged through my two arms.

The recoil from the attack pushed my toes back a little. I could gauge the opponent's strength with this one blow.

This was an enemy who matched me, who had buffs including the Divine Hymn wrapped all over his body and even activated the Queen's strength.

Once the battle began, the final boss's expression became frighteningly serious.

It was a good opportunity to see what kind of face I had and how I fought, but the next blow did not give me any time to relax.

The opponent's Ma-gyeom and my Seong-gyeom clashed madly, carving out afterimages of light. The incredible destructive power struck madly in all directions.

Every time there was an explosion and a roar, the air was torn apart mercilessly, the ground was crushed mercilessly, and even the space was distorted surrealistically.

I used buff skills to cover my armor while exchanging blows. However, I could only become equal to the enemy, but I could never overwhelm him.

The longer the standoff went on, the more an uneasy feeling came over me. I let cold sweat run down the back of my neck.

Then, unable to bear the ominous feeling, I finally looked for God.

'How difficult is this? ‘Is this a boss that can be defeated without the divine descent?’

[‘Balance-Adjusting Tongue-Worshipper’ calculated that the 300th floor was not a stage that was made to be broken.]

What are you talking about? Are you saying that it was made not to be broken?

Why? Why on earth?

Soon, a confession ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) of conscience was heard from the god in charge. Brightly and cheerfully.

[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ clenched his small fist, saying that he couldn’t let just anyone conquer his masterpiece, the Tower of Trials.]

[‘World-Building Word Spirit’ got angry and told that annoying rodent to be beaten to the ground right away.]

I wanted to do as Word Spirit said, but I held back. It’s worth 1 million cash.

Anyway, it’s said that the 300th floor boss was intentionally made so that no one could beat it, beyond the difficulty.

‘Oh, no! That’s too much! Then what should I do!’

[‘Balance-Adjusting Tongue’ tilts his head crookedly, saying that you are not the kind of person who should feel so wronged.]

[‘Balance-Adjusting Tongue’ informs you that since you are a boss modeled after him, you should feel your own crazy overbalance and suffer.]

Ahhh! You’re annoying!

Even as I screamed internally, the fierce battle continued.

The final boss, who had pushed me forward with his sickle blade, brought his face closer.

Beneath his raised black eyelashes, his bright red eyes flashed with madness. They were exactly the same as Reed’s.

<What value does this world have? If the whole world hates him, then I, who loves him, should hate the whole world.>

“Hey, hey! Stop it!”

<You and the world will both perish to repay the price of not loving him.>

“Ouch! He’s crazy! I’m going crazy!”

[‘The Scales That Judge Souls’ is ecstatic with the blind affection settings.]

[‘The Eyes That Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ likes your darkened version.]

[‘The Word Spirit That Builds the World’ complains that there’s nothing to see except for the character skin.]

It doesn’t seem like God will save me.

I was thinking while moving my hands and feet frantically to figure out a way to overcome the crisis on my own.

‘Strategy... ...! I need to find a boss strategy... ...!’

[‘The Scales That Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ sparkles, saying that feeding them some tranquilizer candy will do the trick.]

[‘The Scales That Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ excitedly calls for Reed and tells him to do a lip smacking.]

[‘The Eyes That Watch Over the Chaos of All Things’ is in a hurry, so you should... ... .]

Even so, the light and sound were dazzling and confusing my senses due to the close combat. In the midst of all that, even the gods were acting like that, so I couldn’t concentrate at all.

Maybe that was why. Instead of the strategy I was trying to squeeze out, some useless suspicions came to my mind.

‘Wait, AU? Another world? Me there?’

I felt goosebumps running down my spine as I looked at the final boss in front of me, that is, ‘me who chose the lead and decided to destroy the world.’

‘Wait, wait, wait, gods! Surely I’m not doing that in the 101st timeline?!’
