Episode 405
Liu Shibo, Chairman of the Chinese Players Association.
Even though he sat in a position that could be said to be the core of power, he could not be happy.
While the position was returned to him following Zheng Zhi and Liu Yiming Xu Jain, who were the former presidents of the association.
This is because China had collapsed to the point where it could no longer be called a great country.
The growth of players that the country was proud of was stagnating, and players from other countries were growing rapidly.
At best, he was chosen by the Chairman of the Government and sat in the highest position, but if things continued like this, even though he was in the highest position, he would be the one to watch the fall of the great nation from the closest.
There was no need to think about what the cause was.
Kim Tae-hyun of New Korea.
The crack he created has become an uncontrollable black hole that is swallowing up the entire country.
I did everything I could.
He secretly ordered demonization experiments to strengthen the players’ power, and used his connection with Harsultan to get the demons’ cooperation in dirty work.
We provided support in both material and spiritual ways to strengthen our power regardless of whether it was sunny or shaded.
Nevertheless, it was not enough to make up for the power between New Korea, which had already begun to rise, and the United States, which had begun to fight.
Even with the worst demon, Kasim Jort, and the worst demon, Jihong Min, it seemed difficult to overturn a game with big players like Kim Tae-hyun and Cody Cruz holding on.
It was then.
The devil approached him, whispering sweetly to him.
* * *
My dream was disturbed.
That was why.
I visited Guangzhou Research Institute, the place where Chairman Zheng Zhi died and where gray disease occurred.
China’s own players cleaned it up neatly, and after the World Players Association’s investigation team swept through, there was not a single corpse of a monster left in the area.
Only the collapsed and abandoned building showed signs of a break here.
President of the Jeongz Association.
Because of what you did, the ambition of a great nation has collapsed.
They said that they should not have touched the new Korea and that it would have been better to make an agreement with them and bring down the United States.
I poured out complaints that I could not share with anyone.
He said that if it had been him, he would not have worsened the country to its current state.
After crossing the dangerous area, I headed to a place where Venom was once said to have appeared.
The reason he used his S-rank skill ‘Soul Contract’ in a place where no one was around was purely because of his mood.
The soul contract is a skill that does not work on humans and is so difficult that its target must also be clearly defined.
There was nothing to be affected by a skill whose target and intent were unclear.
I’m sure that’s the case.
Cheeeeeee.
“…!!”
Liu Shibo, who had used the skill, looked behind me in shock.
Purple magic was blooming there.
Although it was only about the size of a fingernail.
It was a monster whose ominousness could be sensed at a glance.
Although he is said to have moved away from the field after becoming the president of the association, Liu Shibo is also one of the leading players in China.
He widened the distance and released his magic power.
I was confident that I could subdue any monster that came out of nowhere.
This is when I am concentrating on the purple magic power that no longer increases in size.
I got a headache as an incomprehensible language flooded my mind.
Liu Shibo held his head and fell to his knees.
I rolled around on the floor.
Still, the headache did not go away.
Rather, it was a language whose meaning was unknown.
I could only gradually understand the meaning of the words and sentences created by that fishy yet sweet voice.
[Finally, someone useful has been caught.]
“Show yourself…!!”
Liu Shibo shouted, glaring at the magic power in the air.
Contrary to his words, his body was shaking.
Against a monster that has not even revealed its true identity.
Or, can we say that a guy who hasn’t even shown himself is a monster?
“You guy… I am the man who will become the master of a great country…”
Do you think you can subdue
me… the president of a great nation’s association with this much magical power ?
At first, it was simply to relieve the pain.
Then, at some point, I found myself pouring out the words I had in my heart.
An ambition that I never shared with anyone.
Just as he endured and persevered and became the president of the player association of a major country, he will one day succeed Jeong Cheong and become president.
Ambition and desire.
A huge desire.
[Kick, kill, kill. [This is a guy I like.]
As if reading Ryusbo’s thoughts, the monster’s maddening rays echoed in my head.
How creepy that laugh is.
As if the headache wasn’t enough, I lost my will to fight and my whole body felt weak.
[A lump of desire. I would have been happy if I had Gorfer. However, Mephisto also doesn’t hate bugs like you.]
Mephisto.
The moment Liu Shibo recognized those words, his body seemed to stiffen.
Once again, the sound of the monster’s laughter invaded my mind.
“Monster…what do you want from me?”
[It’s what you want. You are asking a bold question on the topic of bugs.]
Liu Shibo’s body twisted in pain.
I’ve never heard of a monster that can cause pain to an S-class player just by the voice that echoes in their head.
If the target wasn’t himself, Liu Shibo wouldn’t have believed it either.
“Ugh… Kahak…”
All the blood flowed out from the pores in his body.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be surprising if he died from excessive blood loss.
[Giggle Don’t worry. I won’t kill you.]
The moment I heard those words.
Phew.
Something long, the size of a fingernail, came out from the magic in the air and pierced Liu Shibo’s body.
Chii Iik.
I felt like something hot was being injected into me, so I looked at my body.
Should I call this an awl or a thorn?
One thing was certain: the being that was playing with him was a monster of at least SSS rank, incomparable to Venom.
Rattling.
Liu Shibo’s body trembled at the deception that seemed to melt not only his body but also his mind.
When I said I wouldn’t kill him, it sounded like a dirty joke.
Isn’t this a worse situation than dying?
That’s when I was thinking about that.
[Compared to his desires, is his body not at the level of an insect? But it doesn’t matter. It would not be strange to say that the source of your power is from your original demon.]
Tiring.
[Skill Soul Contract (S) has been activated.]
[Skill Soul Contract (S) has been strengthened.]
Cheeeee.
It takes a while for the poison to wander inside the body.
The magic that swirled within his body mixed with the blood that poured out and formed a single shape.
What was made was a very small horn.
Mephisto said it belonged to Diablo, who was called the Demon King.
“Why… why… to me…”
Ryusbo asked, sobbing, without any of the dignity from before.
What I heard was Mephisto’s command.
Create a magic stone and tail identical to that.
Finish preparations to summon Diablo.
If you do that, you will get what you want.
Although it was a unilateral order.
Liu Shibo did not dare to think of refusing.
Diablo’s Horn.
I thought that this alone would be enough to revive a great nation that was beginning to fall.
After returning to Beijing, I invested a considerable amount of time and money.
The small horn was processed with the scientific power of a great country to increase its size, and a matching magic stone and tail were created.
The stronger the horn becomes.
The thoughts floating around in my head were also getting stronger.
Mephisto’s voice sometimes belonged to Mammon or Asura, and sometimes appeared at the same time.
During the experiment, magical power ran out of control and many researchers died, but in proportion, the Great Country’s experiment was slowly progressing toward success.
Taehyun Kim of New Korea and Cody Cruz of the United States.
It was around that time that the two giant trees went missing.
* * *
“She is indeed the woman who is called the greatest force of the new Korea, following Kim Tae-hyun.”
Liu Shibo muttered as he looked at Yoo Ah-young, who was emitting green magical energy.
SSS level license issued except for China, which has lost credibility in the international community.
The title of national power level.
Externally, she is known on a similar level as Sarah Collins of the United States and Tsurara Yoshikawa of Japan.
The heads of each organization and association knew.
She is the one who has risen to the top among the ten national powerhouses.
It’s just that due to his position as the guild leader of the information guild, he rarely comes to the forefront.
And now.
She had unleashed her hidden magic towards the monster that came out through the gate.
The people gathered at the conference hall as escorts are all players who can be said to be the best force in their country.
Yoo Ah-young’s personal presence was not lacking even if he were the strongest among them.
Even the monster that Ryusbo called Diablo stopped all attacks and fixed his gaze on her.
Looking at that scene, Liu Shibo clicked his tongue.
“A player from a small country is stepping forward without even knowing the topic.”
Liu Shibo scanned Yoo Ah-young’s body with his lustful gaze.
A thin leather suit that is clearly a unique grade item.
The curved body revealed underneath stimulated his masculinity.
If New Korea had joined the Chinese Federation and had simply followed instructions, he would have been a talented person who could have commanded the world with the power of a great nation on his back.
It was a shame to lose my life here.
He called his subordinate behind him and whispered softly.
“If Yoo Ah-young is mortally wounded, secure a new soldier. “I will personally persuade you to naturalize.”
“My name.”
As he listened to the guards’ answers, his sinister eyes twinkled.
Even though his growth has stopped, he is also an S-rank player.
That’s why I knew.
The momentum that Yoo Ah-young gives off is no match for Diablo.
‘I don’t know how long I can endure against the Demon King.’
I just hoped that that fascinating body could be subdued without being damaged.
“It wouldn’t matter if everyone else died.”
Liu Shibo, with a grin, announced the end of those gathered at the conference hall.
He picked up Diablo’s horn that was in the cube.
The horn, which was improved and improved to become larger and stronger than the original, spewed out enormous magical power.
“Diablo!! Follow my orders!!”
He raised his horn high and shouted.
Wow.
A magical power comparable to that radiated by Yoo Ah-young spread throughout the conference room.
It was nice to see the national power class shaking their heads at the unexpected magical power.
That’s it.
fluttering.
A monster that was clearly Diablo landed in front of him with a single flap of its wings.
Players from the major countries who had followed Liu Shibo as his escort blocked the way.
Liu Shibo waved his hand and ordered them to get out of the way.
This is because Mammon had previously declared that Diablo would never harm him as long as he had horns.
“Diablo. Follow my commands.”
Hahahahaha.
Liu Shibo once again unleashed enormous magical power and raised his chin.
The attention of everyone in the conference room was focused on that absurd situation.
Very slowly.
The monster’s mouth opened.
[My original horse is not Diablo.]
‘…?’
[Jordiak. He is an archdemon who wields the power of the swamp and a faithful servant of the demon king Beelzebub.]
Ryusbo was unable to hide his embarrassment at the unexpected words.
If there was someone other than myself who understood the language of monsters, my face would have turned red.
Smirk.
The corners of Zordiak’s mouth rose.
[You did well, you little creature chosen by the ancient great devil. You do your job. The brothers of the original horse are waiting on the other side.]
Liu Shibo’s body trembled as he belatedly understood the meaning.
‘He was not the Demon King, but the Great Devil!!’
Although it was strange that the Demon King’s name was Beelzebub’s and not Diablo’s.
That didn’t matter.
He was simply saying that the monster in front of him was an arch-demon located just below the Demon King, and that the beings of the same level as him, whom he called brothers, were still waiting for his call.
‘You can have the world at your feet.’
This was when Liu Shibo, who was so sure, was shaking with excitement.
Something wrapped around his hand.
It was only a few seconds later that he realized that it was Yoo Ah-young’s whip that had passed through his hand.
and.
The horn of the demon king that should be in my hand.
“How did you get your hands on something like this?”
It was held in Yoo Ah-young’s hand.
