60th floor.

Joel, Kaede, Lein and George sat together in front of a bonfire inside a big tree. The weather outside was as chaotic as the 100th floor.

Rain and lightning continued to be seen and made the atmosphere dark. "Shall we just break through?" Lein opened the conversation.

Nearby Joel grabbed a dry stick and stuck it into the bonfire to keep the flames going, He stared at the flames for a few seconds then said "We'll wait another two hours, if the weather is like this we'll have to break through"

Kaede and George seemed to agree with Joel's statement. At least the big tree could keep them out of the storm. But if this continues, the only option is to break through the storm.

Their goal is to climb the tower as quickly as possible to escape the pursuit of the apostle sent to hunt them down.

Time passed and the storm showed no sign of letting up. The four of them got ready. Joel stepped on the bonfire and extinguished the flames instantly.

"Let's go" Joel signaled.

    "This is the first time I've seen you since that day" The old man said again while serving a glass of beer to the man in the hat.The expression that the man in the hat showed was not one of joy but on the contrary, This old man was one of the adventurers who had close ties with the legendary group of men in the hat in the past."From what I know, you're being hunted huh?" It was a question as well as a statement spoken directly by the old man.The expression on the man in the hat didn't change, what he heard was a statement that could be said to be true. The old man chuckled briefly before patting the hat man on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the family head won't be a hindrance to you anymore." The old man smiled.Those words made the face of the man in the hat change to one of surprise, The old man was Quill Hertz who of course came from the Hertz family and was the uncle of the current head of the hertz family.The reason he avoided the old man at first was due to the fact that the h

It was quite a beautiful place, a gigantic building that resembled an edo castle in the center and walls three meters high and at least one meter thick surrounded the Territory.The Edison family is the last family, but the strength of this family surpasses several other families including Hertz.It was all thanks to the greatness of the head of the family himself Thomas Edison, building a family from scratch and getting to the position it is now.

But it also meant sorrow for the members of the apostle's family.The ceremony continued with the recitation of a farewell poem read by Thomas' eldest son, Belial Edison.Meanwhile in the castle, Elira locked herself in her room and didn't even want to look outside.

Knowing that the sun had completely set, Joel, Kaede, Lein and George decided to take a break.The bonfire in the middle of them was all burning even though the ground was still damp. Their conversation sounded normal even though George sometimes couldn't get into the conversation.Until Kaede leaned against a tree and closed her eyes and complained of exhaustion. Lein started jokingly saying, "Why did you follow the captain in the first place if you keep complaining" Lein chuckled.Kaede opened her eyes and sighed again. Joel who heard that chuckled then said in a mischievous tone "She's just out of luck"That was one of the reasons Kaede was still with Joel at this point, Kaede had already parted ways with Joel, but because of the incident Joel killed two apostles, Kaede became involved and became a target as well.I forgot my original purpose in coming to the tower Kaede muttered then sighed

    Unknowingly I got excited."Maybe I can make mom and dad make up."So I thought. It seemed that Topo's mother noticed the change in my expression.

Especially in a family, fights are unmistakably something that is needed every once in a while."I haven't fully caught what Topo's mother said, but as I thought, now I can find a way to stop my parents fighting.At that time I immediately asked after trying to understand Mrs. Topo's words. In the end I still don't understand many things."How did Uncle Coko make up with you?"Topo's mother seemed to chuckle, not knowing what was on her mind. She immediately closed her eyes as if she wanted to remember something."Mmm, He brought me flowers, and apologized sincerely.

    8 Years After the war.I saw a gigantic column of darkness, rising above the clouds. I couldn't see the end of the column, nor did it look very far from where I was. Perhaps, if I had gotten closer, it would have been bigger than I imagined.Besides that, there's a voice that I always hear, it's as if it's always saying the word, "Blue". I don't know what that means, is it because the sky is blue? Or is there another reason?Also, when I saw my body, it felt like I was a different person.My body is not yet mature. Yesterday I just celebrated my eighth birthday. This body does not belong to an eight year old child.But also not so mature when compared to father, even mother.Hmmm, very strange.I could also see silhouettes of people, but none of them I recognized.

    Three months after the war.God's Domain.The remaining Great Gods were gathered in the assembly hall, apparently discussing something important. This time, there was no Supreme Great God presiding over the proceedings.In the center of the hall, Hermes stood, looking quietly at the array of Great Gods present.“All three Supreme Great Gods have died, we also lost several potential Great Gods. I don't want to go into it any further, but I hope you understand what you've done, God of Knowledge.”Ares The sword god crossed his arms over his chest. Their defeat had become the beginning of change, Ares knew this and in the end allowed Hermes who was believed to be a traitor to the people to join the meeting."Yes, I know. Don't worry, if you don't make a stupid mistake and wash away your selfishness with this position, there won't be any more problems."Hermes said, Although it felt thin, but there was a hint of dislike from

He had made a lot of preparations beforehand, including which direction he would head outside the tower.An area that has hopes to be made a place to live.The outside world has frozen, leaving almost all food supplies such as animals and plants dead. However, He knows that in some areas, the freeze does not get in the way.Even before the freeze disaster, there were areas that never got enough sunlight, which caused the areas to freeze. And many people live in areas like that, with a food supply, namely seafood. There are even very many areas like that in the outside world.The freezing that is happening right now is indeed freezing the surface, but He believes that under the sea it is still normal. It might be different from the usual, but He was sure that it was still a wish.Previously, there was Nikola Tesla who decided to do the same

    Everything is really funny. And tense, I never thought that things would end like this. Be it gods or humans, their selfishness is actually not that different.The destiny that Heinrich always talked about, until now I never understood his meaning. Well, maybe that was a side that only him could see.Even so, looking at the current conditions, it seems that change is really happening. Neither to the world, nor to those who depend on Fate.Before, I thought that Heinrich was the same as me. Selfish, full of ambition, and cares for nothing but strength. But, lately, I just don't know anymore.The war seemed to change the person.That person now filled his heart with regret. I thought that He never cared about something called family. However, it seems that now He can feel something that I cannot.It makes me jealous.His wife died at the hands of Odin, almost the whole family also experienced the same thing. I know, that h
