Chapter 107 - To the God's Tower in the Rift of Spacetime

That morning was all too quiet.

Six days after the wish and request meeting in the Hobgoblin's cavern. A heavy, cold air flowed into the place where they had once laughed, cried, and gathered around the cooking pot with their comrades.

From the depths of the cavern, a man in a black robe appeared.

"Hello. It's been a while, reincarnator and monsters."

The one who spoke was Gil of the dark guild. Although an NPC, he was a special being tasked with guiding the reincarnators.

There was a smile on his face, but his eyes held no emotion whatsoever.

"...So you've come, Gil," Mamoru stood up.

"'God' is waiting. To the place that is the end of all things, and the beginning."

When Gil snapped his fingers, space tore open, and a silver gate of spacetime slowly opened. A wind kicked up, and the presence of another dimension stung the comrades' skin.

"So it's finally time... My heart's pounding," Koni-chan murmured, his large belly jiggling.

"So this is... the place where the world is rewritten..." Amy put more strength into the hand gripping her spear.

"Demon Lord-sama... please watch over me. I will see this through properly," Tiris's eyes held the light of resolve.

"Our memories might disappear. But even so... I'll stick with you to the end, Mamoru," Defray gently placed a hand on Mamoru's shoulder.

Mamoru gave a slow nod and took the lead, starting to walk.

"Let's go. To find our final answer."

Five shadows were swallowed by the rift in spacetime.

And what appeared was the "God's Tower." The core central domain, Ark-Lore-Crest. It was an alien space, impossible to tell if it was real or an illusion.

◇ Overall Structure:
Total Height: Unknown. It extends as if piercing the heavens, but it surpasses the limits of vision, creating an illusion that its very "length" fluctuates the more one observes it.

From the outside, it looks like an "endless DNA double helix," but in reality, it is a three-dimensional structure of intertwined multi-layered worlds where even gravity is warped.

Material: Spacetime Metal 'Chrono-Obsidian' and Photon Code. The surface is covered in jet-black metal with a mirror-like quality that seems to reflect the "memories" of those who approach. Strings of light code (unused scripts flowing in pale blue) pulsate on the pillars and outer walls, and the entire tower repeats a "breath as if it were alive," like a heartbeat.

Floating Debris Group (Orbit Fragments). Around its outer circumference, deleted areas and fragments of incomplete data (shards of discarded worlds) orbit like satellites. These fragments project snippets of different eras, civilizations, and ideologies, connecting to the past of those who observe the tower.

The tower was woven from obsidian and light code, soaring into the sky in an infinite spiral. Looking up, its summit could not be seen. Space itself was twisted and rotating, destroying the very concept of structure.

"What is this... place, it's scary. I'm getting dizzy... my stomach's rumbling," Koni-chan's eyes spun around.

"The walls of the tower... are these all script strings?" When Amy reached out a finger to a floating fragment of a bug, she found countless logs carved there, like "failed_event_id_304."

At the center of the tower was The Causality Archive. It was the memory of the world itself, and a giant floating monitor was displaying "the journey of Mamoru and his friends."

"...Is this... us...?" Mamoru's eyes widened.

Recorded there were the tears from that time, the anger, the betrayals, and the smiles, everything.

"I don't want to forget... we were... so much together," Tiris gently placed a hand on the monitor.

"Hey, Mamoru... are we really... going to erase all these memories?" Defray's voice trembled.

"Everyone, let's think. What should we wish for? What should we leave behind?"

Mamoru's voice echoed in the center of the tower. And the next memory to be replayed was that of the feelings of Toshio Imada, the developer of Legend of Brave Regalia.
