Chapter 416: Ninetieth Floor, Feast (3)
My mouth fell open in surprise, completely unprepared for such a revelation.
Though Thunder Axe had tried to stay composed, their voice had carried a multitude of emotions that mirrored the expression they wore.
What a coincidence.
I searched my memory, thinking back to the sponsor selection process. For promising climbers, hundreds, if not thousands, of gods offered themselves as sponsors.
What are the odds that both of us chose Thunder Axe?
The probability was so slim it defied estimation. Despite that, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible. Although not entirely comparable, lightning did strike people more than once.
Aside from that, the depth of Thunder Axe’s feelings was apparent.
From what I had seen, their temperament was similar to mine. They would have suffered watching Kalain grow dull and crumble bit by bit after entering the tower, especially now that he wielded immense influence and stood in direct opposition to them.
“Strange, isn’t it? Well, you only chose me after going back to the past, but still.” Thunder Axe laughed self-deprecatingly and shrugged their shoulders.
Something about the way they had spoken made me pause. Once again, they made it seem as if I had regressed, despite my correction earlier.
Was it deliberate? Or was it simply inconvenient for them to specify that Ha Hee-Jeong had regressed?
“A curious coincidence,” I remarked instead, letting it go.
