In the middle layer of the Tower of Exile, the spire-like building where Jeremy and the others had previously been was now completely destroyed. Surrounding the area were countless mechanical monsters, encircling the souls of several powerful evil gods.
Even though the protection of the spire was gone, the powerful evil gods' souls were not willing to give up so easily. They believed they still had sufficient strength to fight. In fact, their assessment wasn't entirely wrong.
While the number of mechanical monsters was overwhelming, individually, each one was relatively weak. Even though these mechanical monsters were besieging the evil gods' souls, they couldn't quickly eliminate them. Thus, on the ruins of the spire, the powerful evil gods fended off wave after wave of mechanical monster attacks, relying on the sheer strength of their souls.
