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

"Umbra, we brought him."

When Ariel said these words, James' body, which had not moved at all, suddenly woke up and James stood up.

Ariel threw Elion into the arena with a big smile, and then James looked at the referee and asked, "Aren't you going to wake him up?"

The referee came to Elion with great surprise and woke him up by grabbing his head, it looked like he had used a spell.

When Elion saw James in front of him, he looked at Ariel and then at James and then asked, "What the hell is going on?"

When James heard this question, he started talking without stopping:

"When I chose Lady Nyx's class card, people who already disliked my lady decided to target me. A great plan was put into use because they knew they couldn't kill me this early.

That's why they waited for me to come to the 10th floor, after all, they really couldn't attack me on the floor where the Church of Night was most active by coming to the previous floors and especially by going down to the 5th floor."

When James said these words, the expression on Perseus' face was visible to everyone watching, indeed there was not a single god on Olympus who did not like James, and of course, these gods had said good things about him to their children.

"After I arrived on the 10th floor and entered the arena, while I was standing in the waiting room and maintaining my sword Clarent, this bastard you see in front of you came and said that he was going to kill me. Quite normal according to the rules of the arena, don't you think?"

Elion's expression seemed to grow more and more angry every second James spoke. However, James had no intention of stopping.

"I didn't take his words too seriously, after all, there have been plenty of people who have wanted to kill me. The High Chimera on the tutorial floor, the Goblin King on the second floor, the High Being on the ninth floor, and then Elion himself. So I thought I wouldn't die."

These words seemed to anger the people in the arena, every single thing James said really increased their anger quotient because each of them somehow managed to understand what James was going to say, even if it was just a little bit.

"I was injured after a great duel with Ariel, most of the wounds were wounds that couldn't be healed with health potions, unless they were high-level. I was locked in one of the hospital sections of the arena, where only the administrators could see me, not even my goddess could see me."

James' features contorted incredibly as he uttered these words, his nerves seeming to be at their peak.

"And this bastard, even if he didn't know it, entered my room and managed to kill me when Ronald took his head off me for a second."

Elion then stood up and looked round at the onlookers and said, "Indeed, I don't like him, but to kill him? HOW CAN YOU BE HERE?! ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS BECAUSE I SAID I WILL KILL YOU BECAUSE OF THE ARENA RULES UMBRA?!?!?" he said.

The people around had fallen silent, no one seemed to be hoping that James wasn't lying, but James had concrete proof.

"You know how I survived Elion, I used the Philosopher's Stone." said James and with that Elion smiled and said "Haha...But you don't have any proof, do you? I didn't know you wrote the book on lying."

After these words, James threw his hand into his inventory and took it out of his inventory by making a fist in front of everyone's eyes. Elion's eyes widened to the size of the Philosopher's Stone.

When James slowly opened his hand, all those around him, including the referee himself, who had been an intermediate for a long time, were surprised.

The remains of the Philosopher's Stone lay in James' hand. A stone that had been shattered into pieces of a rust-bright blue colour.

"This... can't be the Philosopher's Stone, it's a different colour!" shouted Elion suddenly, and the referee himself, who seemed to be bored with what was happening, spoke up:

"You know how the Philosopher's Stone is made. It is a stone that the fallen spirits endow to give hope or lead to death to the one who possesses it, in short, a single stone contains hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirits.

It turns crimson, the same colour as blood, but when the stone loses its function and the spirits are released when the spirits accept the user or the player, the stone reverts to its familiar worthless block."

Those around listened to these words directly and quite seriously, and then James turned to the referee inquisitively and asked, "Worthless? Are you playing word games?"

The referee smiled when he heard these words and then said, "Lapis Lazuli was chosen because it is a stone that is very common in the tower. If you are not an artisan or are not engaged in alchemy at a certain level, it is a completely worthless stone."

James shook his head as he heard these words and thought to himself how logical it was, after all, if the resource was plentiful, it would make sense to make it functional.

Immediately he frowned and it was as if he had an epiphany as he was going through these thoughts, he smiled as he thought about what he had the most of and then made the decision to leave it for later.

What he realised, though, was precisely what would make him stronger.

As those words echoed around the arena, James had put Clarent back into his inventory, stripped off all his armour in front of everyone and even put Hephaestus' masterpiece into his inventory.

He stood in front of everyone in just his normal clothes, and for a few seconds he turned to the sky and said these words above the daylight:

"I may be protected by Nyx at night, but I'm sure Hemera will help me in the beautiful daylight. I don't need armour or weapons, you're not even worth it."
