Dilemma!!

"So, you may be wondering, what the hell's happening. You expected to simply enter hell from the gates of whatever world you originated, yet you had mysteriously entered this white space where only my beautiful pair of eyes were ever-present in your mind...and maybe the fact that you couldn't use your element and all the abilities that comes with it."

The humanoid rabbit said with what seemed to be a smirk on his face. It seemed to the figures present that the humanoid rabbit was somehow able to open their mind and was able to read their thoughts akin to reading the words on a page of a book.

With ease, the humanoid rabbit made a feeling of insecurity creep into the hearts of the figures present as only Saber remained somewhat calm. He knew that his mind couldn't be read. He was, after all, a True Lifeform and was invulnerable to any mental abilities.

"The reason for this is very simple yet, incredibly complex. At the current moment in time, your strength is nowhere near that of a level where you should know what the gates of hell and the reasoning behind it truly are for.

But, because of certain recent events, we have realized that maybe we should quicken the process in which we assess and select talents..." The humanoid rabbit stated, revealing the fact that there was more than simply one entity behind all of this.

None in the room dared to mutter back as even Saber was silent and patiently listened for the humanoid rabbit to continue speaking at his own unrushed time.

"Okay, now it's time that I explain the most important things. Get your ears ready and pay attention because I'm not going to repeat...!" It said in a threatening tone. The aura surrounding it darkened as Saber along with the others felt another shiver run up their spine.

"Firstly, after I explain what your goals are, you'll be sent into a mysterious place. It's supposedly what you humans call a...maze. But, said maze contains what you humans classify as mid-level and also high-level evil souls...!" The humanoid rabbit voiced while pausing so the figures present could process what he said.

"Your goal is to be the first ten to reach the end of the maze. Of course, every one of you will be teleported to a different place, but your end goal doesn't change. Along your way, you'll meet different things and lifeforms as you'll even end up meeting each other.

Floating over the heads of every creature would be a number. Every creature begins with the digit one, and this digit would increase the number of kills said creature gains.

When meeting each other, one can kill the said person and steal all his numbers. Of course, reaching the first ten isn't the end goal since the higher number you have, the better the rewards you'll get.

I'm not bothering myself to explain what the rewards are since most of you wouldn't even get a glimpse of them. Anyway, for motivation, I'll share a little secret.

Any person who hasn't entered the top ten, well, there is only one thing that'll happen to you..." It said while pausing to raise the already tensed tension in the room..!!

"Death...You will die, without the chance of ever regaining life...hehehe...!" The humanoid rabbit laughed creepily at the end. Its words caused the skin of everyone present to pale.

"Good, now that we have finally finished the explanation of the first goal. The second goal is simple, this is only for those who make it passed this trial though. The reason I'm even bothering to say it now is that I already know, I'll either forget or be too lazy to say it in the future..."

"When one passes the trial, they'll then enter what I like to call, 'The Tower' since it is a tower. There are nine levels to this tower, and this is where multiple changes have happened after the recent events.

The whole structure of hell has changed so much to make it simple. All six floors of hell have become towers that have nine levels.

Reaching the highest floor of this tower and becoming the strongest entity here will allow you to enter what once used to be the fourth floor of hell."

Hearing this, Saber suddenly realized something dreadfully important. From the words of the entity upfront, he suddenly realized that this entity made it out as if he along with the others were about to stay an extremely long time inside this tower.

When this thought appeared in his mind, his expression shifted. One must know, that he had already realized that at the present moment in time, he was unable to even use any of the teleportation or portal abilities from his katana. It was as if the space in this place was completely different.

As if it was in another Dimension...!!!

With such a problem, wouldn't it be impossible for him to leave hell and continue expanding his power while exploring the multiple Solar Systems in the milky way galaxy?

But, before his expression turned completely grim, the entity upfront then went on to say words that left everyone including him present in the room shocked, fearful, and excited.

"With the appearance of the towers and these new possibilities, your path to becoming a member of our cause is infinitely simpler. This does not mean it is easier, but...

From here on out, everyone will have a very simple route to becoming a peak power!

From here on out, everyone who hasn't died will eventually find themselves as true eternal entities with limitless futures.

From here on out, everyone who has surpassed all towers will find themselves as entities that they can call...

GODS...!!"

Saber stood rooted to the spot unmoving for minutes on end. On either side of him were massive brown walls and behind him, a wall similar in color. Over his head, of course, a brown ceiling, as the only free space, was in front of him.

With the news of his current predicament, Saber realized that he was stuck in hell for many years and possibly even cycles to come. He would now have to pass on the information to his other selves, as hopefully, eventually, when he escapes or conquers this place, his other selves would have already conquered the universe!!!

URGH!

Saber groaned in annoyance, he hated contacting his other selves since whatever they would be thinking of at that moment in time, would be transmitted to him. It was akin to reading their mind at that moment in time, and Saber found such a thing as gay...!

"I don't discriminate against gay entities since the concept of genders doesn't apply to me. My shapeshifting ability has long reached a level where I can shapeshift even other lifeforms from one gender to the other permanently.

But, even if such a thing as genders doesn't apply to me, even if I can shapeshift any male to a female, reading the mind of another one of myself is sick.

After all, no matter if Saber is a man or woman, another Saber fucking Saber is way, way, way too weird. Similarly, if Saber peers into the mind of Saber, isn't that like seeing Saber naked with the intention of seeing Saber naked...?!"

URGH!

Saber once more groaned in annoyance when realizing that he had found himself in a true unholy dilemma.
