Chapter 312: End of THE WORLD (3)
“So, what about Kyung-joon?”
Chairman Yoo asked, his eyes glowing red.
Secretary Oh looked at the real-time report from The World’s special secret monitoring team on his smartphone.
“The response has disappeared within the Study Territory. He’ll probably be here soon.”
“Heh heh heh, yeah, that’s all he can do. The game’s over, so he has to struggle in reality, right?”
‘The World is already ruined and not going according to Kyung-joon’s plan. Surely his goal was to moderately release the Demon King’s seal and then reseal it.’
It certainly went according to his plan until the middle.
As the inter-factional cooperation between the Cross Guild, Humanity Cantons, and Study Territory took place, the chaos began to be quickly suppressed.
Just as they maintained that good momentum and the Demon King’s seal was halfway released, the situation completely reversed.
The unexpected curse of the Demon King began to spread.
The variant monsters, which had been well suppressed, began to increase explosively again, and to make matters worse, even people began to get infected.
‘He probably expected that too. He must have assumed the worst-case scenario. And I aimed for that.’
Chairman Yoo waited for the right moment, not intervening significantly in the situation, but not remaining too quiet to arouse suspicion.
He waited for the moment when the last hope would finally blossom.
And at that moment, Chairman Yoo had the Kyung-joon Special Management Team steal the Hero’s Mark.
Because of the dummy Kyung-joon had planted, they didn’t get all of them, but they took almost half.
The Hero’s Mark, the last hope they had prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Having lost it, Kyung-joon could no longer suppress the chaos of The World.
Even though he poured all his energy into it, The World was only heading endlessly towards destruction.
But Chairman Yoo knew.
That Kyung-joon would never give up here.
“He’ll definitely try to get the stolen Hero’s Mark back, even if it means torturing and killing me.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to hide somewhere safe?”
“Heh heh heh, that’s true. But Secretary Oh. It’s dangerous to face him with such naive thoughts.”
Whoosh.
Chairman Yoo spread his palm and summoned a jet-black flame.
[Fused with the Demon King.]
[The Demon King is attempting to erode the soul.]
[Suppressing erosion with Administrator Privileges (mythical).]
[Attempting to eliminate the Demon King’s personality with Administrator Privileges (mythical).]
[Execution rate……5.48%]
“The Demon King can’t disobey me anymore. I’m not just a mere chairman of a company anymore.”
The Administrator Privileges skill developed by Seolha Group.
Chairman Yoo fused with the newly unsealed Demon King and suppressed him with Administrator Privileges.
And he succeeded.
Now, the Demon King’s power belonged entirely to Chairman Yoo.
And once the personality removal process of Administrator Privileges was fully completed, the First Demon King would be erased from the world, and only the Second Demon King, Chairman Yoo, would remain.
“There’s no one who can surpass me on this Earth, nor in that World. Khh……Khh heh……Khh ha ha ha!”
The original voice of Chairman Yoo, mixed with jet-black darkness, became even more eerie.
It seemed to evoke fear and overwhelm just by listening to it.
“Hmm?”
That was when it happened.
Flash!
A strike of light pierced through the window of Seolha Entertainment, engulfing Chairman Yoo and Secretary Oh.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Crackle.
Crackle.
Crackle!
Pop!
Kyung-joon emerged from the wormhole.
The first thing that greeted him was the ocean with its round surface.
<Successfully warped to coordinate point (28.385764°, 169.210803°, 10,347m), commonly known as above the North Pacific Ocean.>
Whoosh!
A tremendous headwind lifted all of Kyung-joon’s clothes and hair upwards.
He was being pulled down by gravity.
But Kyung-joon, not afraid at all, asked Teemo with a calm expression.
“How’s Chairman Yoo? Has he already eaten the Demon King?”
<Immediately after warping, a telegram arrived from the Vladivostok side. A powerful mana wave was observed in Seoul, South Korea, specifically near the Seolha Entertainment headquarters. Based on analysis, there’s a 99.89% probability that it’s the Jet Black Energy.>
“What about the news?”
<It’s quiet.>
“Tsk, seeing that there’s no commotion, it seems he really did eat the Demon King.”
<Judging from the perfect implementation of the invisibility cloak without mana last time and the capsule treatment, Seolha Group’s hidden technological prowess is more advanced than imagined.>
Kyung-joon wasn’t the only one advancing technology through The World.
Although unlike Kyung-joon, they couldn’t obtain mana in reality, their technology that didn’t use mana might surpass Kyung-joon’s.
And now, such a Chairman Yoo had obtained the power of the Demon King.
Not only in the World, but also in reality, Kyung-joon might lose.
Nevertheless.
“That’s a relief.”
Kyung-joon had a relieved expression.
“Teemo, if you and Chairman Yoo fight right now, who would win?”
<Considering that he fused with the Demon King and absorbed it without any significant crisis, he might have already completed the Administrator Privileges skill.>
<If it’s the current Master who has lost the power of the Demon King, you might be able to hold on for a while, but you will eventually lose.>
“What if I gather everything I have and fight him? If I go all out, things might change.”
<Even if you do that, you will only last longer. Master will definitely lose.>
Teemo was convinced of Kyung-joon’s defeat.
Hearing that, Kyung-joon
“That’s a relief.”
felt even more reassured.
The six-month scenario Kyung-joon had set.
For it to reach its climax, Kyung-joon must not defeat Chairman Yoo.
He had to struggle desperately, push with all his might, and ultimately lose.
Only then could the story move beyond the climax and towards the conclusion.
And the conclusion reached in that way would greatly change both the World and reality.
“Then shall we go lose right away?”
<Do you want to execute spatial movement?>
“Yes. Calculate the coordinates directly above Seolha Entertainment and send them to me. I’ll fold the space.”
<Understood.>
And about 0.01 seconds later.
Whoosh!
Kyung-joon, who was falling from 10km above the North Pacific Ocean, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Flash!
A strike of light pierced through the window of Seolha Entertainment, engulfing Chairman Yoo and Secretary Oh.
The light vaporized everything up to the roof of the building, and only after circling the Earth seven and a half times did it disappear.
Thud.
Kyung-joon landed on top of the building, where the roof had disappeared, just like during the Arc-en-Ciel Magic Tower virus incident.
In front of him was Chairman Yoo, whose upper body had disappeared and only his lower body was fixed to the floor.
“I know you’re not dead, so regenerate quickly.”
“Khh heh heh.”
A thick laugh came from Chairman Yoo, who was missing his upper body.
Gurgle gurgle.
Chairman Yoo’s upper body regenerated in an instant.
“You’re always a surprising fellow. I thought you’d at least come prepared.”
“The longer we wait, the more advantageous it becomes for you. Now is the best time to kill you.”
Right now, Chairman Yoo had just absorbed the Demon King.
Once he completely erased the Demon King’s personality and became complete, he would truly become invincible.
“As expected of you, amazing. Amazing. To think you’d even predict that.”
Clap. Clap. Clap.
Chairman Yoo clapped and made a truly impressed expression.
“But you know, Kyung-joon.”
Then he stopped clapping and looked at Kyung-joon.
The corners of Chairman Yoo’s mouth stretched, reaching his earlobes.
“Do you really think you can kill me?”
“Yes.”
As soon as Kyung-joon spoke, he instantly moved in front of Chairman Yoo.
His fist had already reached Chairman Yoo’s stomach.
<Mythical magic 『Inch Force: Space Liberation』 >
<Releasing compressed space.>
Bang!
Chairman Yoo instantly pierced through the clouds.
Breaking through the troposphere, past the ozone layer, and reaching the stratosphere, Chairman Yoo’s acceleration finally stopped.
Now, all that remained was to fall to the ground.
<Activating delayed magic.>
A thousand magic circles were created around Chairman Yoo.
<Mythical magic 『Photon Thousand Strikes: Zepto Second Laser』 >
Zepto.
One quadrillionth.
A number that surpasses hundred million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, and reaches quintillion.
For an extremely short period of time, beyond human comprehension, a thousand lasers of immense power are concentrated together to erase existence, a unique magic spell of Kyung-joon’s.
Twinkle.
The light shone for a very short time.
Kaboom!
Immediately afterwards, a nuclear fusion chain reaction occurred as an aftereffect, creating another sun.
And that wasn’t the end.
<Mythical magic 『Perpetual Motion Machine』 >
<Converting all energy into mana.>
Pop!
Another sun disappeared in an instant.
Instead, a ping-pong ball-sized mana was held in Kyung-joon’s hand.
All the energy from the previous explosion was compressed to its limit here.
<Mythical magic 『Gamma Ray Burst』 >
Gamma Ray Burst.
Flash!
A straight line of light from a supernova explosion pierced through the atmosphere and reached into space.
However.
“Khahaha! To think you’re this strong even without the Jet Black Power! Amazing! Truly amazing!”
Chairman Yoo was unharmed.
[Administrator Privileges (mythical)]
[Indestructible Object]
A status window covered his entire body.
“Now it’s my turn, right?”
The corners of Chairman Yoo’s mouth stretched to his earlobes once again.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Here is Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil.
Autumn leaves painted the ground and the air with an orange hue.
Moreover, today was the first ‘Car-Free Garosu-gil’ day, and the sidewalks and roads were packed with people.
Of course, more than 99.99% of them were all couples.
In this hellish street for singles, there was only one single person.
“Hello~ viewers~”
Miguning greeted the drone camera with a cute V-sign, showing her youthful face.
“Today, I’m going to do a vlog broadcast for the first time in a long time~ The World is ruined, so the server suddenly closed and this happened~ Sob sob sob~”
Miguning briefly wiped her tears with her sleeve and spoke energetically again.
“Anyway, this and that happened, and I came to Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil! Wow! Look! There are no cars on the road! And there are so many people!”
Miguning captured the Garosu-gil Square, newly built around 2025, with the drone camera.
The lively and lovey-dovey atmosphere and scenery made Miguning’s heart flutter, and made the viewers angry.
━Damn, it’s full of couples.
━Die, all of you.
━Oh? lololol That’s where I went on a second date with the girl I met on a blind date yesterday lololol We watched Elsa change her dress 5 times in Frozen 5, ate tacos at Gamseong Taco, got kicked out when it closed, just walked and talked, held hands, and picked flowers lololol Ah lololol I’m going to confess tomorrow lololol
━System Notification: ‘Gangjun’ has been kicked out for violating manners.
━System Notification: ‘Gangjun’ has been permanently banned for violating manners.
━Good job, manager.
━SSSS
“Ego, goodbye Gangjun~ As they say, solo heaven, couple hell~”
━Agreed agreed agreed
━All couples should die
━Does an NPC girlfriend count?
“NPC girlfriends are excluded~ The server is closed anyway, and they’ve become zombies, so you can’t meet them, right?”
━Possible.
━Zombie is totally possible.
━She was the only one who met me, even if she was a zombie……
━ㅠㅠ
━So why did you bring the viewers to this hell?
“Now! Let’s explain today’s content~ The content I prepared for you guys who are stuck in your rooms watching broadcasts every day! It’s~”
Just as Miguning spread her arms wide towards the square to announce the content.
Twinkle.
A star twinkled in the distant sky.
Kaboom!
A meteor fell in the middle of the square.
Couples kissing were hit by fragments and died, couples shyly holding hands were pierced through the chest and collapsed bleeding, and couples about to warmly embrace each other hugged the stones instead and exploded.
Most of the couples gathered in the square died.
━???????????
━????????????
━??????????
“Uh, uh……?”
Fortunately, Miguning, who was single, was at the entrance of the square and survived.
