===================

A large logistics warehouse on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.

Representative Jung Dong-hoon and Secretary Oh Jin-sook were inside the warehouse.

It was real estate purchased urgently.

The seal ink on the sale and purchase documents wasn’t even dry yet.

Director Jeon Kwang-il had urgently sent police and special forces troops so currently it was under airtight guard.

Because inside this large warehouse is the Logistics Movement Warp Gate installed by Player Bong.

Workers lifted cargo with forklifts and shoved them into the gate.

Seu-euk, seu-euk, seu-euk.

The items entering without any resistance.

Starting with various foods, daily necessities, furniture, home appliances, books, etc.

The hired workers are all people who signed confidentiality agreements.

They were also given plenty of monthly salary unconditionally on good terms.

You have to do that so the secret doesn’t leak out.

Well, even if there is no eternal secret.

“Representative-nim, we have sent all the 1st batch brought-in portion.”

Secretary Oh Jin-sook reported to Jung Dong-hoon.

“Is that so? Then I’ll contact the General Manager-nim.”

Tok-tok, as he sent a text message with his smartphone to Gyeon Dal-rae, tti-ring! A reply flying right back.

“She says they will send items from over there too. Please prepare.”

“Yes.”

The workers installed a movable conveyor belt in front of the gate.

A moment later.

Seu-euk, seu-eu-euk, seu-euk.

Ores coming out in a line.

They were moved onto the conveyor belt and automatically loaded onto the truck and.

The quantity is quite a lot.

I heard he’s busy lately doing uncleared upper-floor climbs, but it seems he made time whenever he could and did a lot of work in advance.

After the ore transport ends?

Seu-euk, seu-eu-euk, seu-euk.

Other items came out.

Oh Jin-sook welcoming it warmly.

“Representative-nim! It’s leather.”

“Hahaha, it came in after a long time.”

Tower leathers revealed their appearances.

From Basilisks to even Wyverns.

Rajix Corporation is a company that started with leather product production.

So seeing the leather coming in large quantities feels very good.

Actually, the leather supply amount was absurdly lacking up until now.

Rajix Corporation itself needs to make products too, and we have to supply a certain amount to HG Fashion as well and.

Since normal production was impossible during that time, we were forced to drastically reduce the volume.

He couldn’t even say that leather was short.

Going to a person who is working his hardest without rest day and night to save the world, and saying leather is short, please supply it, how trivial would it seem if he said such words?

“I can breathe easily now.”

“Haa, it’s truly a relief.”

However?

Seu-euk, seu-eu-euk, seu-euk.

The coming out amount was unusual.

It keeps pouring out.

It was continuously coming out.

An amount he had never seen before until now.

“…Uh-uh.”

“Oh, oh my goodness!”

This much?

It’s tremendous.

Exactly how long has it been since seeing a mass quantity?

Just looking at it made him feel good.

“Secretary Oh.”

“Yes, Representative-nim.”

“Contact the leather processing factory, tell them to prepare to run the factory since materials came in.”

“Understood.”

Jung Dong-hoon firmly hardened his resolve.

I have to earn a lot of money.

The White Tower population that suddenly increased.

His role is very big to feed them.

Isn’t he the Finance Manager in name?

In a way, himself and Secretary Oh were also dipping one foot into the work of saving the world.

Our Earth, No. 1,001 Black Tower 92nd floor clear.

The key to success is always from thorough preparation.

The most important part is the advance party composition.

The advance personnel are a 15-person squad excluding Blood Wolf and Duu.

However, spots are left over.

As many as 7 spots.

The news that Joo-hyuk would climb the tower was delivered.

At that, u-reu-reu, the flocking new summoned entities.

Everyone with expressions full of anticipation.

“It’s regrettable, but I will proceed with this 92nd floor clear focusing on LSSRs. Because I will give opportunities to the rest of the people gradually.”

The newbies had disappointed expressions.

They wanted to step up for the clear alongside the Summoner.

It was something they always dreamed of in the soul world.

It couldn’t be helped.

Grade is a bully.

There is no choice but to raise grades as fast as possible.

Joo-hyuk first turned on the tablet and floated the resident list.

Sorting only LSSR grade summoned entities.

Among them, selecting only the combat classes and.

“Mr. Kazan?”

“Yes?”

“Please join the advance party.”

“Eu-ha-ha-ha-ha! Thank you! I will live up to your expectations!”

The Iron-Blooded Emperor Kazan who unified the continent as a Sword Master.

“Saintess Dorothy-nim?”

“Oh my? Me too?”

“Yes, I ask of you.”

“Ho-ho-ho! Thank you.”

The Saintess of Healing Dorothy.

It overlaps with Bardin but still she’s a Saintess.

“Mr. Anturas too.”

“Assa!”

Following behind, the Mercenary King Dragonian Anturas.

“Mr. Minok.”

“Thank you for picking me.”

Minok, a former hunter and master of the bow.

“Mr. Whitman, the Mad Demon old man, up to Mr. Lunga.”

The Lightning-attribute Great Mage Whitman, the Sword Demon who was said to have chewed up and eaten the Namgoong clan with a single sword, and Lunga the Shaman of the Dark Forest.

Joining the total 7 advance personnel spots.

All LSSR summoned entities who had once flown and crawled (were exceptional figures).

However.

“They are all X-bops (scrubs/weaklings), sir.”

“They are shoddy.”

“Hoo, makes me just sigh thinking of when I have to raise and put them to use.”

“A Lightning-attribute Great Mage? I don’t know if he can even charge a smartphone properly.”

“A Dragonian, huh, still probably had a little dragon blood mixed in, tteut-tteut.”

Discriminatory remarks from the merciless senior summoned entities.

However, the newbies couldn’t even part their lips.

Because the facts are so.

Aren’t they seniors who almost reached the Transcendence grade?

“Oh my! Your words are too harsh. Was everyone good from the beginning? For gentlemen who couldn’t even part their lips upon meeting a Dragon.”

Joo-hyuk’s criticism hitting the bullseye.

“They cannot remember the time when they were tadpoles (They’ve forgotten their humble beginnings).”

Gyeon Dal-rae quickly chipped in.

“Keo-heom!”

“…This old man’s memory is fading so.”

“A warrior does not experience such moments.”

“I, I did part my lips, sir.”

“At that time my condition was a bit…….”

Wow, look at them playing innocent.

They have no conscience, no conscience!

If you want to raise newbies, you have to encourage them eu-ssya-eu-ssya, huh? Sometimes slip them things secretly (support them) too, huh? They’ll grow rapidly only if you do that.

Honestly, even the summoned entities here were insignificant at first.

People who couldn’t even handle the 88th floor Sand Dragon.

“Newbies, please don’t feel too intimidated. Because you can just learn slowly.”

“Th, thank you.”

“I will try hard with effort so I can fit the Summoner’s liking.”

“Me too, sir.”

Oh my! It’s reassuring.

Those pure appearances.

“Now, the climbing begins.”

Spot!

[Entering the Republic of Korea Black Tower (NO.1) 92nd floor.]

Which number tower it is doesn’t matter.

Let’s just go up to the 100th floor.

Then acquire management authority and delete the collapse time limit and it’s over.

[92nd floor mission : The Grand Journey for Completion – Second.]

Now it begins.

[The Grand Journey for Completion mission, will you accept its second stage?]

‘Accept.’

And moving from the waiting room to the mission area.

Spot!

* * *

The Dimensional Energy Storage Base Control Room.

[Controller-nim.]

[What?]

[Someone entered the restricted-access zone.]

[…Haa.]

Who would it be?

It’s probably that damn Earth No. 1,001 Summoner.

[Damn it!]

He probably came to destroy again.

The facilities that absolutely shouldn’t be broken, that is.

In the unauthorized personnel restricted-access zone managed by the Control Room, a total of 3 dimensional energy storage facilities exist.

The first facility the guy destroyed was the Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower dimensional energy storage.

Well, it’s acceptable.

Since it was early in the extraction, the stored dimensional energy wasn’t that much.

So the damage was at a negligible level.

Second.

The Earth No. 675 Black Tower dimensional energy storage, which was also not generated that long ago.

Actually, the extraction for Earth No. 675 finished in the past.

We were in the middle of doing finishing work.

The world where humanity was completely eliminated and monsters occupied it.

The final stage where it flows on its own according to the laws of causality even if left alone.

Even the straw, the Black Tower, was already pulled out.

The Managers were just about to withdraw to the main base.

If we withdraw like that and thousands of years flow by.

The dimensional energy that disappeared would be recovered, and at that time we just have to do the work of sticking the straw in again.

However, everything was derailed.

A tower that shouldn’t have been generated was generated, the Managers and Contractors were tied to the tower, and the world that had entirely ruined returned to the starting point again.

Well, this can be tolerated even if it is destroyed too.

The No. 675 Earth storage which is exactly only 1 anyway.

Because dimensional energy is almost non-existent as well.

However, the problem is the 3rd one.

The No. 843 Earth Black Tower dimensional energy storage.

This is a place that must not be destroyed.

There is quite a lot of stored dimensional energy.

No. 675 is almost finished.

No. 1,001 hasn’t been long.

No. 843, which is right in between that, is a place where extraction is progressing extremely actively.

It’s energy that must be sent to the main base.

If this place is destroyed, we will suffer massive damage.

[Damn it! When is the Archangel coming?]

They said it would arrive soon though.

The destruction of the Earth No. 843 Black Tower dimensional energy storage must be unconditionally blocked.

Are places where dimensional energy can be mined common?

Even among parallel universe Earths, it’s an extreme minority.

It’s not like all numbered Earths can be mined.

It is divided into places where mining is possible and impossible.

First, through the authority of God, we explore worlds where life can live, in other words, worlds where dimensional energy exists.

Thus numbers are assigned in the order of successful explorations.

No. 2, No. 3, No. 4…, No. 15, No. 16, No. 18…, 20s, 30s, 100s, 300s, 600s, 1000s.

If so, can Black Towers be stuck into all these parallel universe dimensions?

No.

It cannot be so.

Worlds where magic power exists are excluded.

And worlds ruled by a Main God with mighty power are excluded too.

It is obvious that such Earths will fail.

Why?

Because if a Black Tower is established, players will inevitably awaken.

What would happen if existences that were mighty from the very beginning, rather than ordinary people, awakened?

For example, if a Grand Master awakens as a player, a 9th circle Great Mage awakens as a player, a martial arts expert who reached Profound Realm awakens as a player… or, although extremely rare, if a Transcender awakens?

The power of awakening gets added to the power they originally possessed.

Because of them, the Black Tower will be cleared in an instant.

So Black Towers must be stuck into ordinary worlds absent of a God, where the power of supernatural abilities does not exist.

Even if thousands of parallel universe Earths were found, the Earths where Black Towers were stuck are roughly numbering in the dozens.

No. 675 is one, as are No. 843 and No. 1,001.

It is that rare a place.

If it were common we wouldn’t have put in this much effort.

[What shall we do?]

[Block it unconditionally! Make him unable to do anything.]

I will face him with full power.

I won’t suffer stupidly like before.

This place is also a place reached by God’s authority.

They are mere humans.

Therefore, his luck ends here too.

The Controller was certain.

* * *

The Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower the 2nd mission area of The Grand Journey where Joo-hyuk and the summoned entity party moved to.

“Isn’t this the place we came to before?”

“It is highly similar, sir.”

“This girl thinks so too.”

The sky looking like space is the same too.

The blue road drawn in a straight line on the red earth is the same too.

Then the mission here is?

Tti-ring!

[Main Mission : Dimension Energy Storage Destruction.]

[Completion Time Limit : None.]

[Completion Condition : Dimension Energy Storage Destruction 0/1]

What is this?

Dimension Energy Storage Destruction again?

We already broke it?

And telling us to do it again?

There was a differing point.

A crossroads choice mission or the like didn’t pop up.

Also, if the 91st floor mission was destroying 146 storages, now it’s merely 1.

By any chance?

“I wager this is probably the Earth No. 675’s dimensional energy storage.”

Seems like it.

There was only exactly one Black Tower there.

Right now, since power transmission is intercepted, energy shouldn’t be flowing to that side either.

“Isn’t it a completely honey deal?”

“We eat it for free, sir.”

“Let’s just educate the newbies.”

“Ho-e!”

What education.

Let’s destroy it rapidly.

Moving first.

Do we have to use the off-road car like before?

It would be good if the Greenie Airplane operated.

“Don’t tell me it’s a no-fly zone again?”

As expected.

Tti-ring!

[Setting the entire mission area as a no-fly zone.]

Right.

[Levitation and Movement Speed Increase skills are also restricted.]

“Ey, shit!”

Cheap bastards.

What are they continually restricting?

What’s wrong with going on an airplane.

It was a vast area where the horizon could be seen.

Even moving via car took near ten days previously.

No matter if time and space separates it, how boring was it.

Still, I can see the road where to go.

If we follow that road it’ll probably appear anyway.

“Let’s just go anyway. Taking out the off-road car and…….”

Right at that time!

Deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deu-deuk!

The vibrating earth.

And.

Ssu-u-uk, ssu-u-uk, ssu-u-uk…….

Lifeforms ascending from here and there.

We had experienced it in the first stage of The Grand Journey.

The monsters guarding the dimensional energy storage.

Each and every single one having power similar to a Sand Dragon.

“They are many, sir. It’s a swarm of ants, sir.”

“Indeed.”

“It’s completely swarming (ba-geul-ba-geul). We can’t even ride the car, sir.”

“Probably so.”

Even Joo-hyuk can easily handle about one monster with one strike of the mallet but…….

‘The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get.’

You intend to block the road from the very beginning entirely?

“This is too much.”

“They are total dog bastards, sir.”

“No, if you make it so we can’t even ride a car, what are we supposed to do?”

Even if a car just brushes against the monsters, it’ll be processed as a total loss.

We probably can’t even process insurance for something like this either.

Fuck.

If it comes to this, we’re just going reckless.

“Let’s take out the suicide-bombing Gigants. Let’s try piercing a path with nukes.”

However.

Tti-ring!

[Notice : From now on, the usage of thermal weapons in mission areas on the 92nd floor and above is strictly restricted. Explosive reactions based on Earth science, such as gunpowder or nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, do not occur.]

“…….”

Look at this bastard?

You’re saying you’ll completely tie up our hands and feet?

“This is driving me crazy.”

Endlessly vast plains area.

Even if there is a road, monsters are paved all over it.

Flight is impossible too.

Riding a car is impossible too.

Detonating nuclear warheads is impossible too.

You’re telling us to walk while personally dealing with the monsters rushing at us?

In what lifetime?

It was then.

Tti-ring!

【According to the laws of causality, the no-fly restriction for the mission area is lifted.】

…What is this?

I didn’t hear wrong, right?

“Oh-oh-oh!”

“Whitey…, no, it is Teacher Baek, sir!”

“Hahaha!”

“This girl, has been waiting.”

“I was wondering when he would come.”

He came. Teacher Baek.

【Basis : The innate abilities of summoned entities cannot be restricted.】

Good job!!!

You speak the truth.

A dragon is a dragon only when it flies.

If it cannot fly, is that a dragon?

It’s a ground lizard.

It wasn’t just that.

Tti-ring!

【Allowing the usage of thermal weapons in the mission area.】

“Euing?”

【Basis : The Dimensional Rift here does not belong to the Black Tower area. Therefore, it is a place where the rules of the Black Tower must not be applied.】

Right.

This isn’t the tower here?

“Hooray for Teacher Baek!!!”

“Our Teacher Baek has applied sesame oil to his tongue, huh. It is slippery!”

“Eo-heo! What do you mean Teacher. He is a God. A God!”

“Is he a God, sir?”

“Sure, let’s go with God. God-Baek!”

“Hooray for God-Baek!”

“Hooray for Joo-hyuk!”

This is not the time for this.

“Greenie Airplane, prepare for takeoff!”

Pa-bat!

“Boarding preparations are complete.”

Summoned entities climbing aboard in sequence.

A total of 23 people including Joo-hyuk completed boarding.

Ssyae-ae-ae-aek!

The Greenie Airplane flew.

The tremendous number of monsters visible beneath our feet.

It would be regrettable to just go.

An opportunity granted by God-Baek.

In repayment, we’ll drop one shot of a nuclear warhead.

“Mr. Rajix?”

“Ho-eng!”

Rajix walking towards Greenie’s tail section and taking a posture.

He stealthily extended his hand downwards and.

“Drop!”

Syu-u-u-u-ut!

Simultaneously Crackus’s infinite turbo Blink flight.

Skipping space and ssyae-aek! Beon-jjeok!

Jji-ing! Mackenzie’s barrier.

Seu-wu-ung! Magical Engineering protective shield.

Cha-reu-reu-reu-reuk! Alchemist Mari’s defensive Homunculus.

When Greenie is wrapped up with flawless defensive means.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

Ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku…….

The mushroom cloud blooming from far away.

Oh boy.

My insides feel totally refreshed.

Meanwhile, the new summoned entities who were shocked at that sight.

What is this?

Tower clears were done in this manner?

* * *

And in the Dimensional Energy Storage Base Control Room.

[Hey, you crazy lunatic bastards!!!]

Mental waves full of fury spread out.

[Is this a tower clear-ah-ah-ah-ah!!!]

If Joo-hyuk had heard it, he probably would have said this.

‘What do you want me to do?’
