A whole list of Beyonder Characteristics? Justice and Magician were stunned. Judgment and Hanged Man turned to look, and even Miss Temperance, who rarely moved, turned her head.

Doctor, Provoker, Swindler, Devil, Seafarer, Baron of Corruption, Demoness of Pleasure, Faceless...

When The Tower placed a conjured list before each of them, their shock only grew. It ranged from a Sequence 8 Doctor to a Demigod-level Demoness of Despair.

The Nation of the Evernight that The Tower mentioned sounded like a prison where the Goddess kept criminals... Surely he didn't kill every Beyonder there? As he pondered this, Hanged Man Alger decided to buy the Doctor and Seafarer Beyonder Characteristics.

Magician Fors looked down at the list, then up at The Tower across from her. She could hardly believe the refined, learned Mr. Tower was capable of such brutality.

Miss Temperance sat quietly, but in her mind, she gave The Tower a new label: Demoness killer.
