Chapter 235: The Demon King and Kyung-joon: Parallel Lines (2)
Flip, flip, flip.
‘Mother! Father! I will definitely raise the prestige of the Kalitzburg family again!’
It was Zot’s memory.
‘Alright! I’m number one in the academy again!’
Zot, who was born as a promising wizard from a noble family.
He had enjoyed his life as a talented person and had achieved success in his own way.
‘Father, Mother. I got accepted to Fael University!’
He entered Fael University and thought that the rest of his life would be successful as it had been so far.
But Zot didn’t know.
The confidence he had thought was just a groundless arrogance of a frog in a well, which he could only have because he didn’t know anything.
‘What…… GPA 2.46? Am I a fuck|ng idiot? Huh…… I guess I played too much.’
However, Zot’s vessel was not big enough to admit it.
‘Damn it, I was so unlucky this time. All the questions were from the parts I didn’t study, what the hell.’
He blamed luck.
‘Sh|t…… Next time, I’ll just study a month in advance.’
But he didn’t give up.
‘Those student council b@stards must be sharing cheat sheets. Dirty b@stards.’
Even though he cowardly blamed others.
‘Okay. I’ve read the textbook three times and memorized all the cheat sheets I’ve worked so hard to get. It’ll be fine this time. I’ll beat all those incompetent b@stards.’
He still didn’t stop moving forward.
However, the world was not kind enough for everyone to climb up just by moving forward.
‘Sh|t! Sh|t! Sh|t! Why! Why, why, why! Why the hell am I lower than that midget even though I studied more!!’
Zot, who had struggled to see a wider and higher realm for the first time, eventually fell down.
‘Sh|t, those bloodline, race, talent-filled b@stards……’
He began to blame talent.
‘Hehehe. That b@stard’s a fucking retard. What’s the point of an elf working so hard?’
He began to deny his efforts.
‘Ugh. A gold spoon b@stard. If I had been taking the best experience potions and elixir every day like that, I would have been number one.’
In the end, he began to think that he was wrong from birth.
This is.
The process by which he was unable to overcome the absurdity of the world and eventually became obsessed with the wrong desires as he is now.
After showing it all.
━To be honest.
The Demon King asked Kyung-joon.
━To be honest, don’t you think you would be like this if you were in this situation?
The Demon King continued before Kyung-joon’s answer followed.
━What an absurd world! People are not equal from birth! When someone is born with talent in a wealthy family, someone is born without even a decent talent in a poor family! You know that better than anyone else! You, who have been playing from the bottom from the beginning, will realize it more than anyone else!
Kyung-joon just nodded his head thoughtfully without refuting the Demon King’s words.
No.
He couldn’t refute.
He’s been told since he was a child that he can’t play games.
He was also told at school that he was a kid who couldn’t do it even if he tried.
Yoo Seol-ha, Kim Chul-soo, Park Young-hee, etc.
He already had a hunch that he wouldn’t be able to beat them just by trying.
The fact that he was able to overcome and compete with them was because he had accidentally obtained a hidden piece called Infinite Knowledge Seeker.
This was a fact that he could never deny.
━That’s right! This is something that no one! Not even the Demon King! Even the world of World cannot deny! I, the Demon King, am only responding to such absurdity! To the despair everyone feels there! To everyone’s desire to destroy this sh|tty world!
Swoosh.
The jet-black mana that had shown Zot’s memory to Kyung-joon enveloped Kyung-joon’s surroundings.
Creep.
It began to crawl on the ground, climb up his feet and legs, and gradually devour Kyung-joon.
━Effort? Hope? Advance? Mindset? I can still do it? All of these are just words that guys like you, who have succeeded, achieved, seized opportunities, and have talent, could say!
[Being eroded by black magic stone.]
[Negative emotions are amplified.]
━Let me tell you one thing for sure! If you hadn’t become the descendant of Infinite Knowledge Seeker, you would have been a worse person than Zot! How dare you ask me, the Demon King, to just back off, not even a request!
[Warning!]
[The influence of Mythical Job 『Infinite Knowledge Seeker』 can affect the mind of reality.]
━And one more thing! You’ll be devoured by the power of that predecessor someday! You’re already feeling it, aren’t you? That your ‘real body’ is being affected and becoming strange! Do you really think it will bring only good results without any side effects? You’re definitely going to die! No, you’ll be a cripple more miserable than death!
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[An unknown stimulus is being applied to the brain!]
[Log out immediately!]
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The jet-black mana continued to devour Kyung-joon.
━This is a continuation of when you were brainwashed and destroyed the domain! So, I’ll say it again! Accept me too! That’s the only way! Otherwise……
The Demon King constantly urged Kyung-joon to come over to his side.
[Proceeding with forced logout sequence.]
[Error!]
[Unknown power! Mythical power is being applied!]
[Cannot log out! Administrator privileges (currently Legendary) need to be upgraded!]
[Log out manually!]
[Log out!]
[Log out!]
The status window kept filling Kyung-joon’s eyes.
[Log……]
Click.
Kyung-joon pushed the status window away.
He looked up at the Demon King, enveloped in black energy.
Kyung-joon’s eyes.
They were still shining blue with mana.
” ……Teemo. Calculate it for me. If the Dimensional Study Room forces the brain’s Time Dilation to accelerate by 3.76 times, and the study buff forces the brain’s performance to increase, what happens in the end?”
Kyung-joon asked Teemo about the fact that he hadn’t properly faced.
<……>
Teemo didn’t show any emoticons or lines.
” It’s okay. Hurry up. “
But Kyung-joon urged.
<Accurate calculation is impossible, but when I qualitatively ran the algorithm, it turns out that what the Demon King said is by no means false.>
In the end, he was able to hear the value of the calculation from Teemo.
” What does the Demon King mean by accepting? “
<It seems to mean the cancellation of brainwave signals amplified by negative emotions. Think of the effects of norepinephrine.>
” So you’re saying that what the Demon King said wasn’t a groundless lie at all. “
<Yes, that’s right.>
Step.
Step, step, step.
Kyung-joon began to approach the Demon King closer.
The more he did.
The black energy, which had already reached his neck, began to rise above his chin.
━Hehehe! Yes! Come! Come here!
Thud.
The 67th spear 『Amdusias』 was completely pulled out.
Thud, thud.
The 53rd spear 『Kaym』 began to escape from the wall it was stuck in.
Crack!
The 61st spear 『Zagan』 broke itself and completely freed the Demon King’s right hand.
In the hand of the Demon King that was released like that.
Tap.
The moment he placed his hand on it.
Kyung-joon said.
” Mr. Demon King, have you ever heard of parallel lines? “
Even when his whole body was covered in darkness.
Kyung-joon’s eyes were still shining blue.
That blue light.
It slightly overcame the darkness.
━……What?
The Demon King, who felt something strange, asked quietly.
In response, Kyung-joon continued speaking calmly with his usual expressionless face.
” Parallel lines. No matter how much you continue to draw straight lines, they will never meet. “
━What’s the reason for saying that all of a sudden?
” No, it’s just. I feel like you and I are like that. To be honest, I think I can overcome it well even without your power. “
That he could become a cripple if he continues to use the power of Infinite Knowledge Seeker?
That there might be some danger and side effects?
” Do you think I really didn’t know that? Or do you think I knew it and deliberately pretended not to know and avoided it? “
Flare.
The blue light in Kyung-joon’s eyes began to shine even stronger.
Like the time of Magic Breaker.
Crackle.
The darkness was being swallowed up in reverse.
━You…… What are you trying to do.
Kyung-joon did not bother to answer the Demon King’s low question.
” I declare. “
He just said what he wanted to say.
Slide.
Kyung-joon took out a pen.
━You’re not……
[Black World Tree]
▶The ink with the Demon King’s blood, the top of the World Tree with the penholder.
▶You can change the laws of the world. Changes come with a price.
『The Demon King’s blood is black, so it doesn’t look awkward to use as ink. -Huma-』
▶Item Grade: Mythical
Swoosh.
Kyung-joon drew the Black World Tree to the end.
” You see the blue color here, right? This is my parallel line. “
A line of blue light stretched to the end of the horizon.
” And this is that. “
Swoosh.
As Kyung-joon drew the pen again.
This time, a jet-black line stretched parallel to the blue line, reaching the horizon.
And finally.
Swoosh. Swoosh, swoosh.
He plays with the pen in his hand in front of the two lines.
A jet-black line that doesn’t seem to be the black of this world cuts through the air along with the blue mana.
『I, Kyung-joon, declare.』
He was writing.
『I don’t need the power of the Demon King.
It’s an absurd world, but I can overcome it.
I can prove that I can overcome it.』
” Mr. Demon King, who keeps on repeating distorted, crooked, and whatever kind of sophistry. This is my answer to your proposal, and the line I have drawn. “
Tap.
As Kyung-joon put down the pen, it rested on the Demon King’s hand.
It was as if to say, now it’s your turn.
” This time, show me your answer and the line you have drawn. “
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The Demon King and Kyung-joon.
The two were having a heated argument.
━Idealism! It’s just idealism without any proper basis! That’s what they call hope torture and write it as a vain delusion! You idiot!
” Idealism is difficult because the conditions are tough, but it’s never a vain delusion or impossible. “
━Okay! Let’s say there’s an answer at the end of it! How can I believe that you will be able to overcome the path to get there?! You can really prove it? Then it’s just your arrogance, arrogance, and ignorant ignorance! You descendant b@stard!
” That’s why I said parallel lines. “
━Oh! Those damn parallel lines! My ears are getting calluses, you stubborn b@stard!
Parallel lines.
It was what Kyung-joon had said over a hundred times.
” So you’re not going to declare? “
━Will I?! What kind of price is that idealism that will never be achieved! It’s totally treating the Demon King like a sucker, isn’t it? Huh?
The price Kyung-joon offered with Black World Tree was 『world-World』.
And what he asked for in return was the Demon King’s 『jet-black power』.
But the world-World was not yet Kyung-joon’s.
Therefore, Kyung-joon could not pay the price, and so the Demon King could not declare that he would give him power.
But here, Kyung-joon kept arguing like this.
” So you’re saying I’ll make World all good and give it to you after I eat it? Even if it means solving all the things you said, like Zot and the absurd world? “
━It’s a parallel line as you said, you b@stard! It’s impossible! They don’t meet!
The Demon King’s claim and Kyung-joon’s claim were parallel lines.
No matter how much they talked and narrowed the distance by half, a tenth, a hundredth.
It was nothing more than a parallel line that could never be met.
However.
Kyung-joon thought so.
Even parallel lines that never meet.
” No, it’s possible. They can meet. “
In the end, they can meet each other.
Of course, to convince the Demon King of this.
” They meet at the end of the parallel lines that reach infinity. “
━What the hell are you talking about!!
Perhaps it would be necessary to explain the concept of infinity-extreme- to the Demon King first.
