Chapter 363: The Scream-Gathering Sky (5)
The duel was over. The Primordial Staff had been defeated, and I had won. It was a fight that ended with a unanimous vote, so all that was left was sorting out the aftermath.
“Your Grace, are you planning to make the Death King—um, the Scream-Gathering Sky—a new Pillar?” River Eternal asked.
The Tower master shook her head. “No, Scream Sky wouldn’t wish to become a Pillar now.”
I tilted my head. “Scream Sky? Are you talking about me?”
“Yes, the Scream-Gathering Sky is a bit long, isn’t it? Since it has ‘scream’ in the name, you are now Scream Sky. Gathering people’s memories means collecting their names, so I guess you can also be called Named Sky. Living that person’s life and returning their life to them makes you Life Sky too. Lastly, as the sky that rules the afterlife, Nether Sky would be a fitting name, too[1].”
“You’re good at coming up with names,” I said.
“I have many children, so it’s a necessary skill.”
For some reason, the princess, not the Tower master, puffed out her chest in pride at that.
The Tower master asked, “So? Do you wish to become a Pillar now, Scream Sky?”
I looked around. “If I became a Pillar now, that would mean...”
“Your journey of climbing the Tower would end here. A Constellation rules one floor, but a Pillar manages the whole Tower. Just like a Constellation playing on the floor they rule can’t be considered an achievement, climbing the Tower as a Pillar is also illogical.”
After contemplating for a long time, I answered, “I want to reach the hundredth floor first.”
