In contrast to the Tower of Four Elements, which leveled up, the Tower of Sacred Magic did not.
In both cases, evolution of the dependents in the Towers had taken place, but the Tower of Sacred Magic’s level still did not increase.
“Hmmm. I wonder if it would be better to think that the condition is something other than evolution?”
“But Amamiya Tower and Tower of Four Elements all involved evolution. I don’t see why it would be different, do you?”
Shrein and Collete, who managed the two Towers, were butting heads and discussing.
Of course, Kousuke joined in the discussion.
“Do Divine Beasts and Magic Beasts evolve?”
Kousuke asked, and the two kept their mouths shut.
“? What’s wrong?”
“Well, uh…”
“I would appreciate it if there was some kind of obvious installation that could do that, like the Divine Stream in this Tower or the Elemental Jewels in the Tower of Four Elements…”
Kousuke nodded as if he understood what they were saying.
“Come to think of it, did the Tower of the Sacred Magic have such installations?”
“I was also going to ask about that.”
Shrein, who replied in that manner, nodded while exhaling a sigh.

In Amamiya Tower, a Godstone could be installed at a relatively early stage.
Although it was difficult to imagine that dipping the Godstone into water would create divine water, Kousuke was able to create divine water without any particular difficulty.
By letting them drink the divine water, he was able to increase the number of dependents who could handle Divine Power.
In the Tower of Four Elements, the jewel was a unique item that correlates with the Tower’s Element.
In the Tower of Sacred Magic, on the other hand, such items were not currently available.
The unique items of Amamiya Tower, which was the World Tree and the Vermilion Castle, were moved using a Tower Function, but it probably would not help transfer something from other Towers to help their level up.
The World Tree and the Vermilion Castle were both unique items of Amamiya Tower, and they were both capable of generating Divine Power, with the World Tree absorbing Divine Power and the Vermilion Castle absorbing Magic Power.
“Huh? Is it counterproductive to think so?”
Kousuke, remembering the functions of the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, suddenly muttered.
“What? Did you notice something?”
Collete, who picked up Kousuke’s muttering, tilted her head.
“Considering the effect of the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, I was wondering if those things had countering elements.”
“The effects of the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, I believe…”
Collete turned her gaze upward, as if recalling the contents.
“If you ask me, it’s certainly opposite to each other.”
Shrein also chuckled, perhaps realizing what Kousuke was trying to say.
If the Tower of Sacred Magic, like the Tower of Four Elements, required Divine and Magic Power to fill the Tower. The World Tree and Vermilion Castle, which absorb Divine and Magic Power, was counterproductive.
The three of them had just come to this realization.
However, it was only when the Tower of Four Elements evolved that they realized that the power for each Element was needed for the Tower to evolve.
Since everyone originally thought that Divine Power was needed for the evolution of the dependents, it was inevitable for Kousuke to relocate the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, not realizing the effect it would have on the other Towers.
The question now was, would Kousuke need to move the World Tree and Vermilion Castle back to Amamiya Tower now that they had realized this.
“So, I’m wondering if we should move the World Tree and Vermilion Castle’s Floor back, what do you think?”
“Hmmm. Hmmm, this is a difficult question.”
“Well, it’s difficult. If we only think about the Tower level, it’s obvious that it’s better to put them back.”
Shrein and Collete were wondering with the same expression on their faces.
Collete was right, if they simply considered raising the Tower level, it was possible to return the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, which were having the opposite effect on the other Towers, to Amamiya Tower.
“My place will be fine with the Tower change, but will your place be fine?”
“Well, that’s the problem.”
The World Tree extends its power to other Floors. If it was suddenly moved to another Tower, the Floors would change, and they would have to start rearranging the Floors all over again.
“Well, I think it will be easy to see what would happen to the World Tree because Esena is here, but actually, won’t the Vermilion Castle be in the same state?”
“Hmm. It may be the case.”
Unlike the World Tree, Vermilion Castle had no clear effect on other Floors. It could not be determined if it would work similarly to the World Tree without Shrein’s knowledge.

“In the first place, all the Divine and Magic Power in the Tower is not converted to Divine Energy now, right?”
“Of course.”
Collete nodded at Kousuke’s question.
The World Tree itself used the power of earth’s veins, so it was not using the Divine Power that was in the air.
Naturally, there was a surplus of Divine Power, but even what was left would not all be converted into Divine Energy needed for operation.
The same could be said for the Tower that Shrein manages.
“I see. It may take some time, but even at the current rate, it is possible to fill the Tower with Divine Power and Magic Power.”
“Alright, that’s good.”
Kousuke nodded at Shrein’s words, who understood what Kousuke wanted to imply.
For the three of them, who were a living god and higher beings, time was not so much of a problem.
Of course, there was a limit, but even so, they did not need to rush as much as humans do.
If the situation remained the same after a hundred years, they could simply restore the World Tree and Vermilion Castle.
It would be a very long-term plan.
“It’s going to be a very long wait again, isn’t it?”
Even the Tower of Four Elements, which had special items installed, took as long as ten years to complete their level up.
Without such items, and with the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, which could be a negative factor, it was uncertain if a hundred years of waiting would really be enough.
“I think so. If we want to get results quickly, I think it is best to put things back the way they were.”
Kousuke said this with a sense that it didn’t matter either way.
He wanted to leave what to do to the two people who directly manage the World Tree and Vermilion Castle.
In the case of Collete, it was not a matter to be decided casually, especially since Esena was there.
“Besides, we know what the policy is on how to do it, so we can just go ahead and put the installations in place for that.”
In terms of Tower of Sacred Magic, all they had to do is place installations that generate Divine or Magic Power in the vicinity. They could place them on a single Floor so that there was a deliberate increase in the concentration of those powers. Or, they could place such a device on a remote Floor where the influence of the World Tree and Vermilion Castle was low.
With a little ingenuity, there should be a way to do this.
“Yes, that’s right. Besides, if we look at the Tower of Four Elements, it doesn’t seem that numbers are an issue. I don’t know what happens after though.”
“Yeah. I think we should just focus on increasing its Divine Power for now.”
“Collete, it might be quicker to check with Esena regarding this.”
The three people finally decided on a course of action for the future. For now, they would not consider returning the World Tree or Vermilion Castle to Amamiya Tower.
They have already determined what they need to do, so they could just go ahead and place the installations that suit that purpose.
However, if they were not careful about where they place it, they would be affected by the World Tree and Vermilion Castle, which might result in ineffectiveness.
Dependents would also be summoned that were likely to evolve under the influence of such forces.
Both Shrein and Collete had decided on a future plan and would strengthen their management to achieve it.
