"Who made the tower?" Raphael asked Azekiel. The tower's existence was sothing really important as this tower had affected most of their lives. Just who would make sothing like this?
"Who do you think could do it?" Azekiel didn't directly answer. Instead, he asked a question in return.
"I have no idea. Definitely can't be a human. And even gods that I knew weren't capable of making sothing like this. It must be soone even stronger than gods..." Raphael theorized.
"Soone stronger than gods, huh." Azekiel rubbed his chin as if he was seriously considering this possibility. Once again, he looked as if even he didn't know the answer, but there were tis when he looked like he knew.
"Honestly, you're sowhat right. It was made by soone who could be considered stronger than the people you considered gods. The ones you considered gods, I don't think they should've been called gods in the first place. They were just a slightly stronger species, but no way as strong as gods should be."
"Who was it?" Raphael asked again, getting back on the topic since he didn't want to move on to another topic should gods.
"You already answered, didn't you? It was a god." Azekiel answered. "A god that was stronger than your people."
"Where was he from?"
"What makes you think it was a 'he'? Then again, you're not wrong with that either."
"What was his na?" Raphael asked.
"What can you do after knowing the na? Not like it will help anyone. You won't recognize him from the na itself."
"Maybe I t him before my mories were wiped in my journey inside the tower. The na might help rember sothing," Raphael explained why he wanted to know the na. "I want to know."
"You didn't et him in the last life. You didn't et him in your journey inside the tower, but you did et him during your current journey. You've t the person who created the tower."
"I did?" Raphael asked, taken aback. He had t the creator of this tower? Who? He only t a few powerful people, and none of them seed strong enough to be the creators of the tower. There was Avila, but she was imprisoned. There was no way the creator of the Tower was Avila.
Another strong person he let was Alion, but he was also a contender inside the tower. There was no way for him to be the creator of the Tower as he wanted to kill the creator himself! That only left one person.
He froze in place as he finally realized the truth. He turned around, looking in the direction of the pond.
"The old man!" he exclaid. " He created the Tower! He controls space and ti, so he can definitely make a tower that plays with space and ti! That's also why he can go anywhere in the tower and control anything!"
"What the...! So we were with the creator of the Tower already?! That old man created the Tower? So he is behind our suffering in this tower? He is why even our souls were kept prisoner inside this tower? That bastard! He looked like such a wise man! Who knew he was going to be so vile!"
Azekiel stopped as well, looking back. "You're not quite right with that either."
"The tower wasn't created by that old man. Instead, he is also trapped in this tower," he cleared the misunderstanding that Raphael and Lia had before it could increase.
Raphael was out of ideas now. The old man was most likely to be the creator of the Tower. If not even him, then who? Who could it be? Who else could there be who was capable of such a thing that he had t before? No matter how much he thought about it, he didn't rember any person who could be the Creator of this Tower.
"Who else could it be then?" he asked, raising his head up.
As he saw Azekiel's face, he rembered sothing. The strange phenonon where the system called him Master, which it never did before... The sudden change of Azekiel? Him being able to control how many tis he Summoned them? He was able to do many things which he couldn't before.
So far, Raphael thought that it was because he was stronger now, but could it be because... Because this Tower belonged to him? Could this be the reason Alion didn't want to tell him about Azekiel? Since he didn't want Azekiel to know and rember it?
The reason he wanted Raphael to kill him could also be because he wanted to avoid the possibility of Azekiel rembering his past thanks to fighting with Alion. But if Azekiel was the creator of this tower, then why didn't Alion kill him? Don't he co at the right tiline? Azekiel had no strength when he arrived, but he couldn't kill Azekiel. He didn't even know Azekiel was there.
"Is it you?" he finally asked after taking a long ti.
"What is ?" Azekiel asked, as if not understanding the question.
"The Creator of this tower? Is that you?" Raphael clarified the question. "There were many people who died in this tower, and I'm sure many of them died with an anger and hate even greater than you, but none of them returned in ti to get a system."
"Only your consciousness went back in ti with the mories... it was as if it was the Tower trying to protect you and make sure you didn't die! All the hidden quest Rewards, all the luck with your skills, getting just the right skill at the right ti... This seems to be too much of a coincidence now that I think about it, doesn't it?"
"I don't think that makes sense. If he was the creator of the tower, why would he lose his mories as well? Why would he be a player like other Kings?" Lia believed that they were taking a huge leap with this assumption that Azekiel created the tower. It really didn't make sense for her.
