Background[]

Having searched for power which surpasses human intellect and mocked God, the civilization earned His anger. Once he sealed the 9 Components which make up the world in one tower, the world began its slow journey towards destruction. It was then that a Messiah and their companions climbed the tower in order to beg God for forgiveness. After earning His forgiveness, they took the Blessed Light from the 9 Components and lit the world's lifespan at the altar. What followed was-the world's lifespan was connected by the light of the Messiah, who is created every 15 years.

"Blessed Messiah and the Tower of AI" is an original song by teamOS. It was uploaded to bilibili on April 12, 2019.

One day, the local seamstress of the "Village of Youth" receives a letter from the oracle of the nearby kingdom. The seamstress (Miku) is destined to become the next Messiah, the one who has to get the 9 "blessings" inside of the "Tower of AI". The other villagers decide to help her. However, what no one knows is that the so called "blessings" are tests God set up to test her and see if she could endure the curses. She has the choice of either surviving all the curses or splitting them between 9 people. She is unaware about these 2 facts, so she lets her friends join her. They are a pair of shepherd siblings (Len and Rin), a dancer (Luka), a poet (GUMI), a monk (Gackpo), a pair of baker sisters (MAYU and IA), a knight (MEIKO), and the village chief (KAITO).

Inside the tower, the 9 "friends" put aside their friendship and betray her, one by one. She realizes that they were all blinded by greed, wanting to get more power by grabbing the blessings for themselves.

Finally, she reaches the top of the tower alone, where the altar was waiting for her. Surrounding a stone pedestal, 9 statues are arranged in a circle holding unlit, red candles in their skeletal hands, which suddenly become illuminated. She learns that her 9 friends actually knew about the curse, and just did not want her to know what they were doing, so they pretended to betray her so that she could save the world instead.

Realizing the fate that her friends had to suffer from splitting the curse, the Messiah understands that they were never being greedy. They just wanted to protect her and never once wanted to steal the "blessings" and did not want her to feel the pain of enduring the curse. Even at their death, they always remembered their motto, "In sickness and in health, we share joy and pain".

A ghostly figure disappears right after the flame on the stone pedestal ignites. The Messiah finally accepts her fate, smiles for herself and reaches her hands to the altar. In the end, it is unknown what happened and is left for open interpretations.

This song has entered the Hall of Legend and exceeded over 10 million YouTube views. Hence, this is one of teamOS' most notable songs.

Below is an official English translation: via Producer. Amendments may have been made to the original translation.

Abandoned barren land of destruction
Only children survived there
They held each other’s small hands and believe unconditionally
In sickness and in health
"We share joy and pain"

Divine judgement executed on arrogant foolish sheep which thought they could replace God
"The tower of AI" defending the world that is going to end
Lifespan of earth is lit on the top of the tower

A messenger from the kingdom provided a prophecy for the village of youth
To be the next honorable Messiah,
the oracle delivered to the seamstress

Blessing that is protected in the tower is glory which only nine Messiahs can get
To the tower, we will come with you
To save a life of paradise that is going to die

"To get a blessing on me……"
Beat your heart out
Get yourself a glory
Try as hard as you can……
Take your friend’s hand
If you trust each other and help each other, then you fear nothing

The first blessing
She reached out to the door, where the lives swirl in the "Blooming Wave"
Unexpectedly, a young man put his hand in hers and said "We share joy and pain"

The Messiah was pushed away and the first blessing was stolen Those friends seemed to hate each other
The second door
A swords-woman threw herself into the "Fire Banquet" with red eyes

Elder sister won the "Grace of the Sunlight" and smiled complacently
Younger sister showed her frustration and moved forward to the "Peaceful Darkness"

"I am the one…… I was chosen……"
"You can’t keep it all to yourself…… we won’t let you……"
Does greed change a person?
A monk said a prayer to the "Trembling Ground"
A poet hummed the "Rumble of Thunder"

"To get a blessing on me……"
Sharpen your mind
Grab a glory as fast as you can……
Where have all my friends gone……?
Is everyone against me?
Get rid of the love that has gone too far

A dancer swayed to the "Rondo of Whirlwind"
An elder twin pushed her younger brother away and stepped into the "Garden of Silver Snow"
Her tears of joy froze before they left her eyes

The ninth blessing is the sleeping "Fetal Movement of Magma"
A younger twin deceived the Messiah and proudly smiled

Betrayed by friends she trusted
All the blessings were stolen
Holding up a torch with no flame
Walking to the altar……

The true meaning of "blessing" that sealed in the tower
……was an atonement of the Messiah
You, the Messiah who got through this ordeal with these sacrifices Now, add a new life of paradise

Even though,
Being drowned in rough sea
Dancing in the hellfire
Helplessly falling on my knees in merciless drought
Being trapped in the darkness forever and losing my mind
Being swallowed by the earth
We won’t let you go by yourself

Even though,
Being struck by the judgement lightning
Being tore up by the hurricane
Being frozen to the bones, to the soul
Crawling through the fire
We won’t stop believing……
In sickness and in health
"We share joy and pain"

Continue this torch relay
After all these innocent sacrifices
This foolish habit will never be broken……
Holding up the torch that your friends helped you to win

The bells of dawn ring
The sound of glory
The Messiah who accepted God’s will, silently smiles by herself…… She has just created nine sorrows
Now she reaches her hands to the altar
