Insanely-Talented Player Chapter 154

Episode 154

Tier 14 Post-apocalyptic tower.

The girl I met there wanted to die as a human, and that was the condition for conquering this tower. There wasn’t even a laugh.

If we cannot choose anything of our own will in the life we believe is ours, then it is not our life.

The same goes for games.

If the player cannot choose anything at will and has no choice but to watch the girl die, it is not a ‘game’.

“Is this a game?”

Therefore, as a player of the game, I raised an objection, and the ruler of the game willingly accepted the objection.

[The Lord of the Apocalypse descends, wielding influence…!]

The shooting star raised his head. To pay for the choices you made of your own will.

The mechanical Heavenly Demons that the 《Mecha Heavenly Demon Factory》 are endlessly mass-producing, and the ‘Shadows of the Heavenly Demons’ that imitate the ‘real Heavenly Demons’ there.

The King of Heroes, led by an army of heavenly demons made up of machinery and shadows, took control of the Sword of Winter Night.

“——This is a game.”

999 transcendent monarchs looking down on this world. And looking directly at one of the seven great princes who stand at the pinnacle of monarchs.

The Lord of the Apocalypse there had the silhouette of a haggard old man.

The Heavenly Demon’s army made up of mechanical devices and shadows rushed towards that being.

It was faster than print, faster than speech, and faster than sound. That was everything that could describe the Sword of the Heavenly Demon.

Countless sword demons swung their swords with all their might. The passive effect of the single sword was activated, and each sword was reborn as a nine sword, and a storm of blades swirled around.

In order to rip apart the skinny old man who looked like he was going to dry out at any moment.

“Do you know who and ‘what’ you are facing?”]

However, as the Shadow Lord once said, it is not a good habit to rely on light to understand the world with the retina and optic nerve.

Beyond the seemingly gaunt figure of the old man, something gigantic was wriggling, trampling on the principles of the world.

The end of the phenomenon, the death of the world. And the destroyer of the world. Because that is the end.

Even if it was an army of mechanical devices and shadows imitating the sword of the Heavenly Demon, the absolute meaningless one, there was no difference.

Bubbling.

Bubbles boiled up.

Countless bubbles were rising from the area beneath the feet of the Lord of the End.

The bubbles were shining like colored pearls. And each bubble contained its own scenery.

The remains of collapsed buildings, the ruined cityscape, the burning streets…

What was contained in the bubbles was the immeasurable ‘end of the world’.

At the same time, the bubbles burst and the apocalyptic scenery contained within the bubbles began to pour out like a flood.

A world where a meteorite falls and destroys. A world where hundreds of nuclear weapons cover the earth and destroy each other in unison. A world where the entire planet disappears without even leaving behind ashes due to an unknown weapon. A world where the planet is eaten by Planet Eatei… It’s unfathomable

. There were ‘ends’ that each missing planet and world was facing in its own form.

That very form began to strike as if it were devouring a meteor and an army of heavenly demons.

…….

The meteorite fell, the core exploded, the outer space predator opened its mouth, and an unknown weapon struck.

All kinds of apocalypses that a world could face unfolded there.

And in the face of the endless destruction of the world… even if he was a sword demon, it was meaningless.

The mechanical swordsmen and shadow imitators carrying the inaction of the Heavenly Demon were swept away by the swirling destruction and passed away.

At the same time, the bubbles were bursting and the destruction of the overflowing world did not stop there.

The meteor was engulfing the spreading barrier and sinking everything there into the vortex of destruction.

[“Even now, in this universe, an uncountable number of stars are destroying and disappearing. Like bubbles rising and disappearing on the water.”]

The end.

The true power that a ‘monarch’ with the name of a great prince can unleash. Even the word “overwhelming” seemed meaningless. The level was different.

“No, is this a game?”

Yooseong muttered in bewilderment. Even the shadow of a thousand demons and the destruction that even mechanical devices could not escape could not do anything about the King of Heroes, who was cheating death through the Essence of the Immortal Lord.

However, I could understand that this was by no means the power shown by the monarch of the end.

“Now I see you understand who you are facing.”]

Before I knew it, the bubbles had burst and the overflowing scene of the apocalypse had come to a standstill.

And the Lord of the End appeared across the immeasurable destruction of the world that unfolded there.

“Are you afraid I don’t even know that?”

Nevertheless, the King of Heroes was not embarrassed. There was no reason to panic.

“When I think about it, it was my job to stop you in the first place. Did I save the damn world for a day or two? “I saved so many things that I can barely even remember them now.”

People want a hero. And the hero’s job is to save the world. Because that was the ‘exactly the same thing’ that Yoosung was repeating endlessly.

The King of Heroes said and the Lord of the Apocalypse burst out laughing.

“How arrogant.”]

The monarch, who had looked like a haggard old man just moments before, took on the appearance of a young boy in the blink of an eye and smiled.

[“Are you really planning to confront me to save a strange girl I just met in a world I don’t know?”]

“It’s not too late, child. Stop making foolish choices. “Accept the fate this world will face,”

said the Lord of the End. As if persuading a child who is acting unreasonable. Yoosung glanced at those words and turned his head. In the world after destruction, there was a girl frozen in frozen time.

And he was right. A strange girl I just met in a world I don’t even know. There was no reason to do this for her.

“Yes, I think it was a stupid choice.”

The Lord of the Apocalypse laughed at Yooseong’s words.

[“Offer the last ‘human’ of this world to me and complete the final piece of destruction. Fulfill your duty.”]

[The Lord of the End urges player Kang Yu-seong to conquer the tower.]

Therefore, grant the girl’s wish to die as a human and clear the world inside the tower without having to face the Lord of the End. It might be possible. It wasn’t difficult.

“There’s no reason I should save that kid.”

Yoosung continued speaking calmly.

“There is no reason to save 7 billion people we don’t even know about.”

The same was true of his own world, where there was no reason to save it in the first place.

[“….”]

“Do you think they are grateful that I saved them? No, in the first place, do I have the awareness that every season has its roots thanks to me? Just give me the title of King of Heroes and that’s it? No, it’s better if you don’t even know. I rescued a drowning man, and the people in power were making a fuss and asking me to hand over the bundle, and all they could think of was how to take my back. Since the favor continues, how can I know people?”

Protecting the world is not a particularly grandiose and noble mission or love for humanity. It’s not like I’m expecting anything in return for that action.

The world doesn’t change. It’s not even worth saving. Today was worse than yesterday and tomorrow will be worse than today.

Nevertheless, the King of Heroes

was repeating the exact same thing over and over again.

“Why?”]

Therefore, the Lord of the End, in the form of a young boy, tilted his head.

“Oh, come to think of it…

Yooseong sneered at that question and asked back.

“Did I tell you about the definition of insanity?”

I wanted to be a hero. I believed that the act had an irreplaceable meaning.

Now I knew the delegation meant nothing.

And yet… he was still repeating the exact same thing endlessly. I keep repeating to myself that it will really be different next time.

“I’m really sick of the foolishness of you humans.”]

“Hmm, usually mediocre bosses say that kind of line a lot.”

At the same time as he said those words, the sword of winter night in Yooseong’s hand ran over the streets of the ruins.

Cosmic Winter Big Freeze. The ultimate eschatology in which the entire universe will freeze to absolute zero (-273.15 °C), black holes will evaporate, protons and neutrons will decay, and eventually the death of heat energy will occur.

At the same time, that winter night did not have the power of the Lord of the End.

After all, it was the power given to Yoosung by the ‘Frost Lord’.

And a sound rang out against the blade of the winter night held in Yoosung’s hand.

Kaang!

It was the resounding sound of metal blades clashing with each other.

…….

The ‘Sword of Winter Night’, similar to the one held by Yoosung, was held in the hand of a young boy.

Blah blah blah.

The two swords of the winter night interlocked. However, the struggle of power was short-lived. No, it would have been nice to say it was just a moment.

One of the interlocking swords of the winter night cracked and broke apart like a turtle’s shell.

“why…!”

At the same time, a sound of incredible astonishment rang out. It was not a message, but a ‘boy’s voice’ that could not hide his embarrassment.

“Why, Sister…r

The Lord of the Apocalypse, who looked like a young boy, muttered as if he couldn’t believe it.

And there wasn’t even time to finish speaking.

Chow。］Ack!

The sword of the winter night held in the hand of the shooting star was swung in the midst of a landscape of all kinds of apocalypse, the destruction of the world overflowing like a flood.

Toward the ‘Lord of the End’ there.

At the same time, a coldness swept through me that seemed to freeze even my soul. The cold of the winter night was so extreme that even Yoosung himself, who was wielding the sword, was no exception, not just the opponent the sword was cutting down.

‘I am the Lord of Frost and at the same time the Lord of the winter, meaninglessness, and void that will come at the end of this universe. ‘

I remembered the true name of the Frost Lord.

An absolute being that even the Sword Demon God Cheonma, who claims to be the Absolute of Meaninglessness, cannot touch.

The winter of emptiness that will later engulf this universe and freeze it.

The destruction that the Lord of the Apocalypse was spreading in front of him was nothing more than a child’s play.

“Well, the destruction of one planet is also the end.”

That’s why Yooseong tried to maintain his composure and muttered calmly.

The moment you let go of even the slightest tension, you feel like your existence is frozen and you are swallowed up in meaninglessness without even a soul.

“Still, in the face of the ‘real apocalypse’, the young scale is poor, don’t you think?”

[“How dare you…!”]

The ‘Heavenly Demon’ was there, inflicting an unavoidable wound on the transcendent one who claimed to be one of the seven great princes.
