Chapter 2469 – 2469. God’S Atlantis
Rumors spread throughout the Atlantis continent that the largest magic tower in history was being built in the western desert region.
Surprisingly, people didn’t pay much attention. The situation in Atlantis was too dire for them to be concerned about such matters.
“Cough. Cough. I don’t care what the desert does! Deal with the ash falling from the sky first! It’s getting hard to even breathe!”
“The exiles must be up to something again!”
“The prophets of the Temple of Apollo have predicted a great disaster! We must prepare for the disaster!”
The Temple of Apollo, famous for its prophecies, had released a prophecy.
A great disaster would engulf Atlantis.
However, the exact nature of the great disaster was not revealed. Still, the people of Atlantis had to prepare for the disaster. So far, the prophecies of the Temple of Apollo had a 100% accuracy rate.
The residents of Atlantis were busy preparing for the unknown disaster. They didn’t have the luxury of paying attention to the events in the distant western desert.
But not everyone was like that. Even in this chaotic situation, there were those who were watching the magic tower being built in the desert. They were the existing magic towers.
“The desert? They’re building a magic tower in the desert where there aren’t even any wizards? Those country bumpkins?”
“It seems like the era has come where anyone can build a magic tower…”
When they first heard the news, they ignored it.
A magic tower wasn’t something you could just decide to build. The core of a magic tower was the most important part. You needed a core that was at least S-rank or higher. But not just any S-rank or higher item would do. You had to select a core that was compatible with the magic tower.
Even if you managed to create a magic tower, it wouldn’t be the best. There was a clear limit with an S-rank core. At best, it would be the same as a magic tower in the boondocks.
However, their perception changed when they heard that the goal of the magic tower being built in the desert was 1,000 meters.
“Wasn’t the Imperial Magic Tower about 300 meters? They’re building a tower more than three times that size in the desert? You’d need at least three SSS-rank cores. Even the Ustia Empire would have a hard time doing that, and they’re doing it in the desert?”
“They said the Heavenly Demon who rules the desert region is crazy… He really is crazy. Putting three SSS-rank items into a magic tower… He’s not normal.”
Shock and admiration. What followed was vigilance. Especially the Imperial Magic Tower, considered the best magic tower, was very concerned about the desert magic tower.
“A tower over 1,000 meters? It’s impossible to complete! SSS-rank cores are not treasures that can be obtained so easily!”
“1,000 meters. How arrogant. How about we conquer the desert on this occasion? Let’s suggest it to His Majesty the Emperor. It’s just a desert. If the Empire is serious, we can conquer it within a month.”
“The construction of the magic tower is bound to fail, but… we cannot tolerate that arrogance of trying to surpass the Imperial Magic Tower. The desert must be punished.”
The wizards of the Imperial Magic Tower raised their voices. They made various excuses, but they all meant one thing. The construction of the desert magic tower must be stopped.
They wanted the Imperial Magic Tower to continue to hold the title of the best magic tower.
“The Imperial Magic Tower is the pride of the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor will surely accept our opinion. I will go and have an audience with His Majesty.”
Osborn met the Emperor and conveyed the intentions of the Imperial Magic Tower. The Emperor looked down at Osborn with cold eyes.
“Punish the desert? Tower Lord, do you not know what the situation is? The prophets have all predicted a disaster. The wind is mixed with ash, and the temperature has risen. The water is drying up, and the crops are dying. Right now, an unprecedented disaster is about to engulf the Empire. And… punish the desert? We don’t even have enough time to prepare for the disaster, and you’re talking about that? All the sharpness you had a few years ago has disappeared. I am greatly disappointed. You may leave.”
“Y-Your Majesty!”
“I ordered you to leave. I trust you know what the magic tower should be doing right now.”
It was the last mercy and opportunity the Emperor was giving. Osborn, who came out of the Imperial Palace, was sweating and touched his neck.
‘The timing was bad. I was too hasty.’
He was lucky to have survived. The Emperor did not hesitate to purge. He was someone who would purge even his closest aides without changing his expression.
‘Judging from His Majesty’s reaction, we can’t openly attack the desert. But he might allow us to keep them in check.’
Even if the Imperial Magic Tower didn’t move directly, there were many ways to warn the desert. Using the vulgar exiles who would do anything for money was also an option.
‘The Imperial Magic Tower must always be the best.’
Osborn’s eyes gleamed with stubbornness and arrogance.
And a few days later. The Imperial Magic Tower received a difficult guest.
A luxurious cape draped over her shoulders, a slender silver staff with ornate jewels embedded in it in her hand, touching the ground. A young woman with blue hair, exuding a noble aura that overwhelmed her surroundings just by existing.
“Duke Baldert…!”
The wizards of the Imperial Magic Tower were shocked and bowed. It wasn’t just because she was a member of the Imperial Family.
The daughter of the Three Extremes Duke, once called the best wizard in the Empire. And now, one of the five pillars supporting the Empire. The Illusion Duke, Elena Baldert. A person who had reached a unique level that no one could follow in illusion magic. She was a figure respected by the Imperial Magic Tower.
“We greet the Illusion Duke!”
The wizards, including the Tower Lord, shouted. Elena scanned them indifferently and opened her mouth.
“Tower Lord Osborn. It’s been a while.”
“Yes, yes. It has been a while, Your Grace. It has been a very long time. When you visited the Imperial Magic Tower with your father, the Three Extremes Duke… I still remember it vividly.”
Elena sneered.
“What are you talking about from so long ago? I am not the same as I was then. Even if you long for those days, those days will not come again.”
“Yes. That’s right. The Three Extremes Duke…”
“Tower Lord. I didn’t come here to dwell on old stories.”
“…I apologize, Your Grace. I have forgotten my place. I will guide you to the VIP room.”
“There’s no need. Since you’re all gathered here, I’ll say it here. Withdraw from the matter of the desert magic tower.”
“……Your Grace. What do you mean by that…”
“The Imperial Magic Tower is the pride of the Empire. Therefore, the Imperial Magic Tower must not become ugly. Osborn, know that the Empire is watching the Imperial Magic Tower.”
“……Yes, Your Grace.”
Elena disappeared. There was no sound of movement. She appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly. Like a phantom.
‘A phantom?’
A chill ran down the Tower Lord’s neck.
Only belatedly did he realize that he, no, all the wizards in the tower, had been under an illusion. And they hadn’t recognized that the illusion was an illusion.
‘Just now… the lives of all the wizards of the Imperial Magic Tower were in the hands of the Illusion Duke.’
If the Illusion Duke had wanted to, all the wizards of the Imperial Magic Tower would have died without distinguishing between illusion and reality. His spine tingled.
‘I heard that the Illusion Duke, who returned from hell, had surpassed her limits and become stronger… But was it to this extent?’
What he couldn’t understand was why the Illusion Duke was siding with the desert magic tower. It couldn’t be that the Baldert family had a relationship with the Heavenly Demon Church in the desert.
‘I heard that the Baldert family has been influencing many fields recently… Is the desert also involved?’
Anyway, with the Illusion Duke’s intervention, they couldn’t mess with the desert magic tower. They couldn’t ignore the Illusion Duke’s warning.
He looked around. The wizards had terrified expressions. Some were mesmerized by the Illusion Duke’s magic, their eyes sparkling as they repeated the illusion.
‘Even if it’s the Illusion Duke, it can’t be helped… The pride of the Imperial Magic Tower is in shambles.’
Osborn let out a deep sigh.

“Heavenly Demon! The ignorant mole-digging magic tower bastards dared to invade our church!”
A warrior of the Heavenly Demon Church rushed in and shouted. I, who was enjoying a wholesome swimming sex competition with beautiful women in a large indoor swimming pool inside the desert palace, frowned and looked at the warrior.
How dare he raise his voice in front of me so impudently.
Her face was quite pretty. Her body was also a kind one, so I decided to let it slide.
“Mole-digging magic tower? What are they?”
“It’s a magic tower located in the vegetation area. It’s not at the level of the Imperial Magic Tower, but it’s famous for its mastery of earth magic.”
Enas, who was massaging my calf with her ample breasts, said.
I reached out my hand to the side. One of the beautiful women who was playing in the swimming pool stood up and placed her breast in my hand.
Squish.
I carefully massaged her breast and said.
“This is… Noah’s breast. Am I right?”
“Yes. You’re right. How did you know?”
“Haha. Would I not know the feel of Noah’s breast?”
Should I enjoy some more underwater sex? It was the moment I was about to get up.
“Heavenly Demon! What should we do about the mole-digging magic tower?”
“Are they the kind of guys I have to deal with myself?”
“The Demonic Wind Corps is more than enough to handle them. There’s no need for the Heavenly Demon to step in.”
The Demonic Wind Corps. Originally a desert bandit group, it had now become a military group under the Heavenly Demon Church. All members of the Demonic Wind Corps had mastered the Demonic Wind Divine Art that I had taught them.
“Then have the Demonic Wind Corps handle it.”
“Yes, Heavenly Demon. How about taking control of the vegetation area on this occasion?”
I remembered what Elena had told me recently. She, who was very busy with the upcoming volcanic island, had advised me.
‘Yujin. For the time being, don’t invade other areas and focus only on the desert area. The Empire is watching the Heavenly Demon Church. The Empire only allows the desert area. If the Heavenly Demon Church tries to cross the desert… the Empire will move.’
Even though Elena was a member of the Imperial Family, she couldn’t control the entire Empire.
‘I wasn’t planning on moving for a while anyway, so it doesn’t matter.’
“No. We will not invade other areas. Right now, the Boob Tower is more important than anything else. Just kill the guys who come to attack.”
We shouldn’t antagonize the Empire.
The scale was different. If the Empire moved seriously, the Heavenly Demon Church wouldn’t last a month.
“Yes, Heavenly Demon.”
Under Enas’s leadership, the Demonic Wind Corps moved.
And the Demonic Wind Corps did not disappoint me. Along with victory, they acquired 2,000 slaves. Among them were quite a few wizards.
“Everything is going smoothly, Heavenly Demon!”
Enas reported with joy. I nodded.

Although there were minor disturbances, the Boob Tower was completed earlier than the deadline.
「The emergence of a great structure!」
「This great structure has caught the attention of many gods. Whether they like it or not, it is undeniable that it is a great structure.」
「You can name this great structure. What name will you give it?」
The name had already been decided.
“Boob Tower.”
「…Are you sure you want to name it that?」
“B. O. O. B. T. O. W. E. R.”
「The great structure, Boob Tower, is recorded in the history of Atlantis.」
