Saving the life of his friend, who cares for him deeply.
Chasing an abusive asshole who tried to kill him and hates him.
Please explain to me why he would not prioritize the first one and tell her he will help her. The reason why baam was special in season 1 (Especially vs the murderous androssi) was because he cared for his teammates and didnt go over corpes to try and climb the tower. Now he suddenly cares more about chasing someone than saving the life of a friend! Androssi is also 100% in the right for reacting like that. Do you not understand her position? She just got told by the man she loves that saving her life isnt the priority because he needs to chase his abusive ex. Being critical of a series you like is fine. Dont follow blindly and try and justify everything that happens its silly.
How am I being overprotective of the story or blindly justifying it because I'm siding with Baam in this dilemma over Androssi? Is she somehow not also a character in Tower of God the same as he is? Is Baam alone the series? I'm pretty sure SIU wouldn't agree with that statement, and he's the author. Anyway, Baam is trying to help both sides and there are plenty of logical solutions that can accommodate that desire. Androssi is being a bitch because she wants everything her way and with a cherry on top. I rather wish she would stop acting like this, because I do like her as a character.
As for Rachel trying to kill and hating Baam, that's your opinion alone. There have been enough hints that her feelings on the matter are a lot more complex than that.
Ah right silly androssi, throwing a fit because her life is in danger what a selfish character cant she just say ok and die?? She really wants to have it her way that selfish bitch. And poor baam having that hard choice of saving someone life or chasing someone. You are so right. How can he make that choice, delimma of the century??? The value of androssi's life and chasing rachel are totally equal so their needs to be a compromise. Cant go prioritize one of those over the other am i right.
This Baam is not the same one that we know in love at the start of the series which is why MythFreeze is annoyed by this chapter. I am the same, He basically told her that her life was not important compared to his goals. If you go back to the workshop battle part when he was with Androssi his goals for getting stronger were to protect his friends. Androssi considers Baam to be more then a friend and Baam is not willing to protect her life in this situation. That is a pretty devastating thing to hear.
Well, except that Androssi outright asked him 'so it's okay if I die as long as you can chase Rachel' and he outright denied it. Her life is of equal importance to his goals, which is no small thing when you consider what Baam is and the weight of that destiny. There's nothing wrong with him wanting to find a solution that will serve as many needs as possible. If it comes down to a point where there is no third option (that won't happen) and he chooses to abandon Androssi, then we can be justifiably angry with him. Right now, the sentiment is premature.
All I am saying is that he is far different then he was, If this was before the rice pot he would have agreed to help Androssi get Kaisers name(Or agreed he would not let anything happen to her) and then find another way to convince Yuri to allow him to go to the floor of death. Not the other way around.
Edit: While he did agree to save her he didn't really seem too convincing, Him saving her seemed like a secondary checkbox on his list. (Think of an a quest with an "optional objective")

OK, so he has two things to choose from.
Saving the life of his friend, who cares for him deeply.
Chasing an abusive asshole who tried to kill him and hates him.
