=Tuseong an unseen map before. Coach, did you purposely not ban Seong Jihan just to select this map?

=The map is categorized as a dungeon. All classes can participate, and it allows 50 players to join. Just by looking at the maps conditions, it doesnt seem like it gives Seong Jihan or the US team any particular advantage.

=But, you must have a reason for making this choice, right? I sincerely hope so.

The 5th match map, Tuseong.

This map, classified as a dungeon, was unfamiliar not only to ordinary viewers but also to BattleNet experts.

Tuseong

What is this map?

Did they intentionally not ban Mr. Seong Jihan because of this map?

While the national team players were questioning the newly appeared map name Tuseong, with curiosity,

Could it be, the Star of Martial God, Tuseong?

Seong Jihan looked at the 5th match map name with astonishment.

He had guessed that Gilgamesh must have been involved somehow, but he never imagined Tuseong would be set as a match map.

Im sorry, Mr. Seong Jihan. We hurriedly searched for information on Tuseong in the strategic analysis room, but we couldnt find any data.

Its okay. Its the USs hidden card, after all. I didnt think there would be any data on it.

Well, whatever their intention might be, with Uncle stepping in, well surely win in the end.

With such a laid-back remark, Yoon Seah entered the BattleNet connector.

Shall we go, Jihan?

Yoon Sejin watched his daughter and then flashed a bright, gold light in his eyes similar to when Gilgamesh descended last time.

Seong Jihan chuckled at that.

Lets go, is there even a choice not to?

The constellation said said that if its too risky, you dont have to participate.

There must be something there after all.

Well as one who is sponsored, I dare not presume to understand the king of humans intentions. Nor should I attempt to.

Yoon Sejin maintained a respectful demeanor towards the King of Humans.

Entering the 5th match seemed like Yoon Sejin, too, must not be underestimated.

Tuseong The map name alone is unsettling, but not going would mean certain defeat.

This would mean not winning the championship, effectively submitting to Gilgameshs will.

Seong Jihan didnt want to clash with him without even trying.

In that case, yielding to Gilgameshs will would mean not winning the championship. Seong Jihan didnt want that without even confronting him.

Lets go.

Yeah, Ill assist my brother-in-law with all my might.

Its reassuring to have you by my side.

Seeing Yoon Sejin emphasize the word assist, Seong Jihan chuckled and entered the BattleNet connector.

And then

So he finally went in.

In Yoon Sejins eyes watching Seong Jihan enter, a golden light flashed brightly.

* * *

[You have entered the dungeon map, Tuseong.]

[Reach the top of the golden tower that connects heaven and the earth.]

[The side that seizes the Primordial Treasure first wins.]

Ziing!

50 Korean players summoned to Tuseong looked around.

Is this inside a building? Look at the walls. Its all golden.

From the message are we supposed to climb the tower to the top?

I dont understand why its called Tuseong. They could have just named it the Golden Tower.

The interior was vast enough to question whether to call it a tower. The walls, ceiling, and floor inside shimmered with the presence of gold.

Since the summoned players were all national representatives, they were merely amazed by the amount of gold rather than being awestruck.

-Wow Look at that sparkling gold.

-Isnt the building itself a treasure trove?

-If you collect all of that, will you become rich?

-Taking in-game gold doesnt seem useful, does it? Unless its converted to GP.

-If this wasnt the championships fifth game, even the national team players wouldve scratched the floor at least once.

Viewers were excited by the spectacle inside the golden tower.

In the dazzling interior,

Seong Jihan looked around and then

To the top, huh

Swoosh!

He lightly punched the wall.

Bang!

And just like that, the wall was pierced through.

Uncle? What are you doing?

Why take the stairs? You can just fly out from outside.

Oh. Is that so?

Yeah. Ill go check it out.

Seong Jihan started walking towards the enlarged rift, but

Swoosh!

Chains of gold burst out from the pierced wall and instantly filled the gap.

Feeling the urge to ascend quietly through the stairs, Seong Jihan smirked.

Lets see.

Whooosh!

Flames blazed from his hand, touching the golden chains directly.

The massive firepower backed by stat-based strength, Which in normal circumstances, could have burned down the entire wall of the tower.

Wriggle! Wriggle

Like pulsating veins, the chains moved, and Instead of the wall disappearing, it recovered its original form even stronger.

Eh? The wall

It doesnt seem to be just barely strong.

Observing this scene, Korean players turned their gaze inward.

Even if its Seong Jihan, it seemed impossible to climb to the top of the tower alone with transcendent power.

It seemed they would have to ascend the stairs quietly.

If I write the Destruction code, Destroy, here, the wall would break.

Destruction code: destroy.

After obtaining the stat Red, the completed letter possessed the ability to completely delete the target from the world.

So much so that the spot where he first wrote Destroy in the void training ground remained blackened.

However,

Using Destroy leaves me defenseless for a while.

Creating the Destruction code required pouring in all his stat-based power, Martial Soul, and void force.

Using it here seemed too risky.

Lets take the stairs for now.

Yes!

Deciding to use the code only if things turned really bad,

Seong Jihan led his team up the stairs.

And then

Is, is that a steel giant?!

Prepare for battle!

In the vast second floor,

Dozens of steel giants looked down on the Korean national team from above.

Enkidu?

The modified Enkidu, taught by Gilgamesh from the Heavenly Tree Descending Spirit.

The steel giant, known to be targeted first by the spear of judgement because it was a gods body,

Emanated an intense aura even from a glance.

Seong Jihan had only summoned Enkidu before for the dummy role to be killed by the spear.

However, using it offensively seemed like it could serve as a summon capable of crushing any opponent.

Then,

Swoosh!

As the group of steel giants raised their hands in unison,

Oh, here they come!

Start with protective magic!

The national team prepared to fight back nervously, but then,

Swooooosh!

A golden light twinkled on the steel giants hands, and giant fruits appeared.

.?

Whats that?

Then,

[This is a gift from the king.]

Simultaneously, a voice came from the steel giants, and then,

Thud! Thud.

They placed the golden fruit in front of the Korean national team, like a mountain.

* * *

[Honor the king and consume the fruits. Only then can one ascend.]

The fruits piled up in front of the national team.

Though they varied in type, they all shared one common feature: they were all golden.

Apples, strawberries, grapesall shimmered with a golden hue.

Rather than being appetizing, each one seemed like a treasure.

-Why is everything here golden? lol

-Well, at least the giants are made of steel.

-But can we even eat those? Arent they artistic pieces made of gold?

-But the apples do look delicious

-Yeah, theyre kind of tempting in a weird way.

At first, they seemed like treasures, but as the players continued to look at them, even viewers watching indirectly through the screen started to salivate.

And for the players who actually had them in front of them, the temptation was even stronger.

Isnt it too much of a trap to eat these and then ascend?

Well even if its a poisonous apple, I kind of want to try it.

The aroma is killing me

Ill try eating one and experiment! Just make sure to cast protective spells!

When a warrior couldnt resist the temptation and raised their hand

No. You shouldnt be the first to eat it.

Sword King

Yoon Sejin smiled and stepped forward.

He went towards the piled-up fruits and then,

Plop!

Knelt and even bowed.

I pay my respects to the King of the Humans! I humbly accept your grace!

Yoon Sejin showed utmost respect in front of the fruits.

Ah, Dad When did you become a vassal?

Sword King, why are you bowing?

But he mentioned the King of Humans?

Isnt that the constellation that is enthusiastically sponsoring these days rankers?

While people were shocked,

Yoon Sejin, trembling with emotion, picked up a golden apple and put it to his mouth.

Crunch!

The moment the fruit was chewed, the fragrance of the fruit deepened.

Wow, that smell is insane

Dad, are you okay?! How could you recklessly eat that?

Its alright, Seah. Actually, my stamina has increased by 1!

Despite Yoon Seahs concerned shout,

Yoon Sejin proudly raised a thumb, boasting that his basic stamina stat had increased.

Then,

The stats went up?

Just from eating fruit?

Doesnt seem like the Sword King has any issues

The players eyes changed.

From the very beginning, seeing the golden fruit made them want to eat; however, they restrained themselves.

But when the Sword King said his stats had increased, their patience disappeared.

IIll experiment too!

Me too! Yes, we need to check for poison!

The front-row warriors rushed forward first.

Crunch! Crunch!

Wow, it really did increase!

Stamina can be increased this easily?

So tasty I want to eat this for the rest of my life.

As the players who ate the fruit actually shouted that their stats had increased,

Me, me too!

Ive been holding back. And if it even increases abilities!

We have to eat it if were going to climb anyway!

Players in the back also rushed toward the fruit.

-Are these people crazy? It looks like a trap at first glance, why are they rushing like that ;

-Even if it raises stats, I cant understand how national-level players are losing their minds like that?

-Does the fruit have something that bewitches people?

-What exactly is the Sword King doing? Bowing and everything

-Yo, Americans arent playing either. People there who receive support from the King of Humans are also bowing crazily.

-Do Americans also have a bowing culture?

-Seems stiff but they somehow manage to look respectful.

The viewers couldnt comprehend the players frenzy.

Only a very few players werent part of this madness.

Seong Jihan, who didnt rush toward the fruit like a starving ghost, instead,

Swoosh!

Floated a fruit towards him.

This, it feels similar to the fruit I saw at the World Tree Elves loan service.

The fruit from the World Tree that replenished life force.

The fruits dropped by Enkidu contained less potent, but still remarkable, life force.

Crunch!

Definitely, the World Trees fruit has superior vitality.

As Seong Jihan chewed on the golden apple, assessing the fruit,

Uncle, is it okay? That fruit. Maybe you shouldnt have

Seah, dont you want to eat?

Mom said not to eat it no matter what While telling me this, shes cursing Dad out a lot. From a womanizer to now a cultist.

No longer mentioning us as an illusion, huh?

Hearing about his sister being upset with Yoon Sejins second divergence made Seong Jihan feel inexplicably guilty.

If only he had stopped it when the sponsorship from the King of Humans came.

Jihan, my constellation contacted me urgently! Shes asking if Jihan would consider forfeiting the match

Pythia as well?

Yes This place is created by the King of Humans in Tuseong the pillar connecting heaven and earth, Etemenanki.

Etemenanki?

Did she think I would know when she said it like that?

As Seong Jihan frowned at Pythias message,

Ah here! Its the Tower of Babel!

Pythia revealed the name of the tower through Sophia.
