The Door of the Tower of Sin had been sealed for over three years! Even if the people wanted, they couldn't open the door. It was as if they had been sealed inside, but just now, after three years, the doors of the Tower of Sin were finally opening.

Everyone stood up in shock. They worried if the beasts had finally found a way to get inside.

Everyone was scared for their lives. They had even stopped observing the screen ahead as they all stared at the door.

The doors slowly opened, bringing the warm air from outside.

As the doors fully opened, everyone sighed a breath of relief! It wasn't a beast who had opened the door. Instead, it was a young woman who stood outside the tower.

The woman had a strange mark on her forehead, which appeared like a tattoo, but no one paid any heed to it.

The woman stepped inside the tower. She had no weapons in her hand, making people wonder how she even managed to get to the tower safely.

As the woman entered the Tower of Sin, the door closed once again, sealing itself.

The people inside the tower didn't notice that there was a young man standing in the distance, gazing at the tower. There was a mysterious smile on his face.

Behind the man stood a horde of thousands of beasts that could destroy an entire nation!

"Now begins the game..."

****

Back on the Second Floor, Elijah had managed to get his hands on the second book, but before he could even leave, he was stopped by the stone statue.

The statue asked him to prove he was worthy.

Assuming it to be a path of the trial, Elijah agreed.

"What do I need to do to prove I'm worthy?"

"You need to do two things. Speak your biggest secret out loud and say why you need the two books."

"You know why I need the book," Elijah answered. "Why do you want to hear again? And what does my secret have to do with anything?"

"Do as I say!" The statue firmly stated.

Elijah took a deep breath as he agreed. He didn't want to argue with a statue who might be a part of the trial. He didn't know if the statue could create trouble for you in the future. Moreover, the two demands weren't impossible to achieve either.

Only thirty seconds had passed since the King of Greed had received the second book, but every minute was important for him.

He took a deep breath before speaking, "My biggest secret is that I killed my mother. That bitch wanted to donate half our property to charity, talking some nonsense about poor kids! I couldn't let it happen! The property was supposed to be mine! It was supposed to pay for my luxurious life."

"Just as she was going to donate the money, I pushed her down the stairs. She laid on the bottom of the stairs, bleeding, and I just watched. Only after I made sure she had died, I called the medics and told them a story about how she must've fallen on her own when I was sleeping in my room."historical

"And thus, I protected my money. It's a secret that I haven't told anyone. You know what's the worst part? After I did all that, this apocalypse happened. So it turned out that all I did was for nothing!" The young man rolled his eyes.

"Then again, maybe it wasn't for nothing? It's most probably because of that event that I received the System of Greed which changed my life here and made me a King!"

Despite telling such a horrible story, the King of Greed appeared to be very smug.

Back on the ground floor, the people were still surprised about the new arrival. They tried to start a conversation with the young lady, but after seeing the lady not speak, most of them had to and shifted their attention back to the screen, just at the right time to hear the confession of the King of Greed.

"What?"

"He killed his own mother for money?"

"How vile!"

"I don't get it! Why is he telling all that to the King of Gluttony? I thought the two would fight when they met? Why is the King of Greed treating the King of Gluttony with such respect and confessing?"

"No idea."

The people on Floor Zero were stunned at the confession, but they were even more surprised since the young man was confessing to Azekiel.

They didn't realize that the King of Greed couldn't see Azekiel before him. He was seeing an illusion of the Statue of Gods talking to him, and that's why he was being respectful.

The mysterious girl who had just entered the Tower of Sin was also observing all the screens before her, especially focusing on all the Kings as if to memorize them.

Back in the Temple on the second floor, Lia was standing beside Azekiel.

He had summoned her as soon as he heard the door opening. Thanks to Lia, they were able to cast this illusion to have some fun and to get some information.

Unfortunately, Lia could only stay here for a minute. Forty seconds had already passed, and she only had twenty seconds left before she was going to go back to her spirit form, and her spell was going to be canceled.

"Now, answer the second question!" Azekiel asked, shifting the attention to his next question.

"The books, I need them because only they can help me the special place you seem to be guarding!" The King of Greed declared.

"Which place?" Azekiel asked, confused.

"The place on the Tomb of Gods that I managed to discover, but I wasn't allowed to explore because of you. You said I can only enter if I have the two books."

Azekiel wanted to ask more, but Raphael reminded him that one minute was almost up. If he didn't act now, the illusion was going to break, and things would get difficult. Azekiel needed to act now!
