"Here it is, boss," the Sovereign of Gluttony stated, handing over a glowing black orb, while the others did the same, each orb varying in size. The Eternal Sin nodded and pointed toward a ledge. "Good, you all go now." "Can I stay?" As that voice resounded, his body immediately tensed, and as he turned to the side, the same beautiful woman's face from earlier greeted him. However, that beauty was nothing but a mask; deep down, she was nothing but a vile bitch. "You, in particular, can jump first. Leave me alone," the Eternal Sin stated, and without waiting for the protests, he began walking up the palace's stairs. The glowing black orbs spun in his palm, and soon, they merged into one before finally flying toward his heart. Immediately, a few system messages appeared. <Authority of the 99th floor has been regained.> <Record: Fragment of Eternal Sin ###> <Body Compatibility: 11%> The Eternal Sin's eyes widened. "What? 11%? The last one was 91%. Just what could have happened?" Seems like you pulled the short end of the straw by taking over my body, Neraxis taunted. "Aka, come down here. Now." The Eternal Sin said, and not even a moment later, a slim girl appeared, floating right before him. "You called?" she asked softly. "Recalculate," he ordered. With a sigh, she floated closer to him and placed a hand on his forehead. <Administrator - Akashic Records has started intensive recalculation!> <ETA: 5 Minutes> [It just did not make sense.] The Eternal Sin commented. [I went through so much effort to come back, yet your body did not have the capabilities to hold me. I believe you can understand my frustration.] I would much rather prefer you tried doing this to some other person. Why did it have to be me? Neraxis lashed out, hatred clear in his tone. You killed everyone I loved, all the actual friends I've made, and in the end, you're eating shit. Serves you right. [Hahaha, I guess you are correct. It was a foresight on my part to expect the other Sins to do as they are told. They just had to rehash the same person over and over again,] he stated. [Alas, I am showing this to you since your body will be mine again, just like it always should have been.] We'll see about that. Neraxis replied, and the timer soon struck 0. <Extensive Calculations Complete!> <Body Compatibility: 3%> "Looks like it's not your day, Lagus," Aka said with a chuckle. "Oh, sorry. I forgot we're not supposed to be using your actual name here." "What's done is done," the Eternal Sin, Lagus, scoffed. "How much time do I have left?" [Skill Effects (1/1): Allows the user to traverse time to a selected date in the past.][Note: If the time exceeds the user's lifespan, the skill is deemed invalid.] This is...? [The skill you used to return, correct,] Lagus added. [Now then, it should happen any moment now.] At his words, Neraxis grew tense. Yet as the moments passed and nothing happened, he grew hesitant.

Neraxis was unable to track the movements and only noticed that they had arrived before what seemed to be a gate. Soon, Lagus placed his hand on it, and what greeted his sight were several system messages. <Warning! Entering the 100th floor is forbidden!> <Any attempt to do so will result in immediate termination!> "Is that so," Lagus mused out loud before suddenly bringing his foot down onto the door, sending cracks spiraling all across. It did not take long for it to fall to tatters, and with that came another message. <What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?> "Aka, I am not in the mood for playing games, and I would suggest both you and the remaining administrators don't interfere. I want to see what is on the 100th floor." [You see, I've heard myths of there being something mystical on the 100th floor, and quite frankly, I held out hope that maybe, just maybe, it would allow me to survive,] Lagus commented. [But of course, there were a few thorns in my path.] So this is just your final moments type of deal? Neraxis asked impatiently. Did you find what you were looking for? After a moment of silence, Lagus replied, [I did. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it sure was an interesting discovery.] What was it? [Wouldn't you like to know?] Lagus scoffed. [We have all the time in the world, Neraxis. Time does not move under my control.] Feeling the ominous air, Neraxis was about to speak but was interrupted. [But of course, I won't hold you hostage here. I'll give you a system log each time you advance in power. You managed to get much stronger so quickly. Therefore, take whatever you are about to see as a bonus.] At those words, time resumed, and Lagus moved forward. <Welcome to the 100th floor, Branch of ###> As the system notification appeared and Neraxis glanced past it, the sight ahead made him speechless. What the fuck is this?
