Chapter 1086: Destroying The World From The Outside
"So, this is the Tower of Storage." Kanaria looked around. "It’s nothing special. It’s still dark, but we can still see the tower. There doesn’t seem to be any beasts."
"What do you think?" Christina asked Clovis.
Clovis, Melody, and Luci saw the system again.
[Tower of Administrators: 4/7]
"Hmm?" Clovis nodded. "Yeah. This is a special tower."
"Still, this looks like a normal tower. There is nothing going on like the Tower of Darkness." Melody frowned.
Clovis said, "This is definitely a special tower. The problem is where the unique part of this tower is. Let’s focus on searching for that."
They nodded and started to advance while making sure they scanned every corner.
However, after descending for two minutes, they finally encountered what they were looking for.
"!!!"
"Is this the one we’re looking for?"
The floor suddenly became flat in the middle. There were pillars that supported the tower, and they could still descend on the edge.
Clovis and the others immediately approached what looked like a big black cube.
"This huge black cube... How are we meant to activate it?" Christina came closer, touching the black cube.
Suddenly, the cube emitted a faint green light.
"!!!" All of them were startled and instinctively raised their weapons.
"Hmmm?" Melody approached the black cube. The surface of the cube turned out to be a screen.
The moment Christina touched it, it responded.
However, nothing special appeared on the screen.
"Nothing is going on?" Melody frowned. She also touched the cube, wondering if there was a hidden button. "Can you check the surface? Maybe there’s a hidden mechanism or something. How about going down as well? Check if there is anything special below us. Maybe there’s another cube like this."
Clovis nodded. "Jay, do you mind?"
"Sure." Jay agreed without hesitation. "In that case, I will need five people with me."
In the end, Erwin, Aileen, Luci, Christina, and Kanaria followed him.
The rest were curious about the cube, but Melody had been silent the whole time.
In fact, Angelia noticed that Melody hadn’t even moved a muscle. "Melody? What’s wrong?"
"..." Melody remained motionless as if she were entranced.
"Melody?!" Angelia raised her voice.
"What’s wrong?" Clovis took a peek, wondering why Angelia had called Melody.
"She hasn’t been moving for the last two minutes." Angelia pointed at Melody. "I don’t dare to touch her in case something is going on."
"Hmm..." Clovis frowned and tried to touch the black cube. He wondered what was going on, but he suddenly saw many codes flashing in his mind.
"Ah, this..." Clovis immediately took a step back, realizing what was going on.
"Is she alright, Boss?" Angelia asked, worrying about Melody.
"Yeah. She’s alright." Clovis nodded. "Just watch over her for the time being."
"I understand."
"Anyway, can any of you touch the black cube?" Clovis asked.
"Sure." Several people volunteered, wondering what was going on. Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t see anything special.
"I don’t feel anything."
"Same here."
"Is this cube special or something?"
"As expected..." Clovis sighed. "Right now, only I, Melody, and Luci will be able to see the record within the cube."
"It’s that again?"
They were a bit unconvinced, but all this time, Clovis was able to see through the uniqueness of the tower.
"Well, it can’t be helped. This might also be a method to prevent anyone from being able to access the information that constructed this world." Clovis nodded. "After all, the Tower of Darkness has the code, while this Tower of Storage has the data. If everyone can access it, it will be chaotic.
"On the other hand, the Tower of Beasts can be viewed by everyone because it only contains the list of beasts living in this world. The Tower of Physics can be experienced because it can’t be changed."
They didn’t really like it, but it couldn’t be helped. After all, they didn’t have the qualification. Nevertheless, Clovis was willing to share the information with them, so they didn’t mind.
"I’m going to rest for a bit." Ragna sat on the floor. The others who couldn’t access the cube also thought the same thing. However, Angelia was still curious, so she kept observing Melody.
She asked in a low voice, "So, this cube contains the data?"
"Yes. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to read them." Clovis shook his head. When he thought about it, the Prophet might also awaken the system and know about this.
However, he had no idea how to read it, so it would be hard for him to inspect everything.
Melody was a different case. She was knowledgeable about code. In addition, the code that built this world was her code.
So, if anyone could figure out the situation, it would be her.
Angelia asked, "Does our enemy know about this as well?"
"Maybe, but I don’t know if they can understand it. If they want to know about the situation, they will need to copy everything. But that depends on whether the Prophet or anyone who can access it knows how to read the code. If they can’t, they need to write it down and send it to their own experts.
"Just think about how much time it takes to write it down, not to mention analyze it.
"Besides, this is Melody’s code. She can understand it more quickly than anyone else. That’s why for now, I think they know about it, but they can’t do anything about it."
Angelia looked down, falling into deep thought.
Melody suddenly stepped back and confirmed, "Yes. They really knew nothing about it, or else they would have figured out that the data about Lucente had been erased. It wasn’t naturally erased.
"It was destroyed from the outside. Most likely, there was a problem with the storage used to store Lucente’s data."
"!!!" Angelia was startled. "You managed to figure everything out?"
"Yeah. Lucente was harmed from the outside. To prevent that harm from spreading to the entire world, they sealed Lucente. Our enemy might not know about it... or they might be the culprit.
"In other words, there might be someone in the outside world who wants to destroy this world."
"!!!"
