Chapter 656. The end of the war, and daily life (1)
Tuk…
The mask rolled down.
There was an all-too-familiar face in it.
your own face.
[The impossible achievement ‘Defeat your past self’ has been achieved!]
[The final reward for those who conquered the tower for the first time will be settled!]
[…]
Status windows were appearing one after another, but I still couldn’t see them properly. did not
Confusing.
My head feels like it’s going to explode.
Naturally, he thought that the existence called that man was his data from climbing the 50th floor in the past. Because there is so much evidence to infer.
But that man is not his past data. The person lying in front of you right now is the data of the person who conquered the 50th floor.
That man: I who conquered the 50th floor of the Tower of Trials in the past.
Unknown: An alter ego created by me in the past.
This is the moment when the assumption of … has become a piece of paper.
Then…
what the hell is the identity of the person called that man?
A third party unknown to you? That’s why you know so much about this tower, right? Even as a player. But even as a resident, it didn’t make sense.
It was because anyone who hadn’t been to the top of the tower at least couldn’t explain the man’s actions so far.
“I’m really dizzy.”
Jinhyeok laughed involuntarily.
I felt like my calculations had completely collapsed, but I didn’t have time to think about complicated things right now.
The long fight is over and the enemy’s chief has fallen.
From now on, you should focus on minimizing damage to allies and driving out the remnants of the enemy.
And it starts…
from announcing Unknown’s death.
[Player Kang Jin-hyeok uses a large loudspeaker!]
[The current screen is broadcast to the outside.]
“My name is Kang Jin-hyuk. He is the leader leading the Goinmul Corporation.”
Jinhyeok opened his mouth to everyone.

Previous.
The operator and the ancient beings who had lost their center of gravity had no choice but to retreat.
The three knights of the Book of Revelation and the Shade Reaper were defeated by Cheon Yoo-seong. Cheonse also had to return to the place they came from without achieving their purpose.
The big battles are over, and all wars are finally over.
and present.
On the top floor of Olympus, Jinhyeok and Cronus were alone.
“Partial regression…”
The ancient god of time stroked his chin.
Certainly, if you use your own pocket watch, it is not impossible to return some time and space.
However, what Jinhyuk is asking for now is not simply turning back a short period of time, but about a week’s time. It also wanted to target an incredibly large space.
“Too many people have died.”
A world that has become a mess due to the covenant and ancient beings. It is not an exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the population of more than 7 billion has disappeared.
Most of the remaining humans either abandoned their humanity or suffered serious injuries, so it should be said that mankind has entered a post-apocalyptic world.
“I understand, but it’s too much for me. Perhaps no gods can do what you want.”
“I know. So I want to help a little bit.”
Jinhyeok took out an old cogwheel from subspace.
It was one of the many items obtained after dealing with Unknown.
[Special item ‘Double Cross Line’ x 2]
Difficulty to obtain: Limited to first conquerors of the Tower of Trials.
Description: A special item that has the power to distort history. When used by a person with abilities related to ‘time’ and ‘memory’, it can increase one’s abilities by 1500%. However, once this item is used, it cannot be reused forever.
[Spring of Oblivion]
Difficulty to obtain: Impossible to measure
Description: Enables ‘large-scale memory manipulation’ for all players around the world and the general public outside the tower. The duration of the Distorted Memory depends on the level of completion of the Fountain of Oblivion (current completion level is 7%
) .
I was thinking of using it to get a definite advantage in a little more dramatic situation.
but.
This incident completely changed my existing thoughts.
[System operation changes some of the item settings.]
[Player Kang Jin-hyeok and Goin-in Corporation’s achievements are included in the memory manipulation range. In addition, 127 detailed memory manipulations were selected.]
[The memory of a specific person is not damaged.]
The perfection of the fountain of oblivion was raised to the maximum using system manipulation and double cross lines.
revive mankind. After rebuilding the devastated civilization…
I will erase everyone’s memories.
The memories of everyone except for a few whom he cherishes.
“Why are you doing this? If they knew that they had come back to life, would all mankind be grateful to you?”
Cronus tilted his head.
Even though he was deceived by the false being called Unknown, he saved people. If so, the value of Jin-hyeok will rise incomparably with gratitude and guilt.
The great narrative of human salvation.
You will be honored as a hero forever.
but.
“no.”
Jinhyuk shook his head quietly.
I tried for people, but the price was criticism and reprimand.
Trampling on those who were benefactors for their own survival, revealing their ugly nature. Of course, there were some who did not, but most of them turned their backs on the deceased corporation at the moment of crisis.
“You felt the inflammation.”
“yes. Besides, considering the fight ahead, it’s good that not many people know me. There is a high probability that the primeval beings will again take people hostage or use them as leverage to pull me out.”
“Well, that is true. Those proud guys are going to attack you with all their might because of their pride.”
“I am prepared for that part as well.”
Now, the final stage is approaching.
Regardless of whether I like it or not, I have no choice but to face them properly. There are a lot of things to prepare, but I have already made enough time.
“i get it. If that’s what you mean… I think this would be possible if the items help.”
[Chronos activates the special holy relic ‘pocket watch of time’!]
The giant clockwork quickly turned.
Moment.
My vision blurred with a strange sensation.
“Even if people forget you. I… we will remember you.”
With the words of Cronus, the space of the world has partially regressed.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Half a year has passed since the covenant.
[Currently, the temperature in Seoul will be very sunny at 24 degrees, and there will be a slight temperature difference between day and night…] [A
ranker from a famous overseas guild was caught drinking on Olympic Road early in the morning yesterday…]
[Tower of Trials 39 While the floor attack is in full swing, we expect meaningful results from this 5th large-scale raid.]
Several breaking news streamed out from the large display board.
The past, when humanity almost disappeared, is gone. In that place, there was an apocalypse that was quite threatening… The false truth of the degree was overlaid.
New heroes have appeared. New guilds colluded with the forces inside the tower to grow their strength.
In a short period of time, quite dramatic changes have taken place.
and present.
On the first floor of the Shilla Hotel, the deceased person corporation was gathered in one place.
“It’s peaceful. This world is.”
Elise sipped tea while wearing an elegant dress.
“Are you going down your throat now?”
Jinhyuk let out a long sigh.
I couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
No matter how hot this place is on Instagram, it was natural to stand out if you dressed like an aristocrat in medieval Europe.
A white dress with long lace and a parasol worn indoors out of nowhere. There are also gorgeous jewels.
It was not a normal look for anyone to see.
“Oh, look at that.”
“At least one drama shoot.”
“Are they celebrities from abroad? They are very pretty.”
People whispered and looked this way.
“Still, it’s nice to see all the members gather like this after a long time. Is it the first time that all the members have gathered since the war?”
Likewise, Teresa, who was wearing a light blue dress, smiled brightly.
The attention was focused on this one as well.
“Because everyone was so busy.
Chun Yoo-seong added a word.
Come to think of it, this guy was still a college student.
In the midst of beating and kicking all day, I even took the hard core class…
I thought this guy might be a real monster.
“Still, thanks to hyung, everyone is living their daily lives… It’s a bit unfortunate that no one knows about it.”
“Well, it’s a decision made by my brother. I’m assuming there must be a reason…”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who were sitting at the table across from them, also shrugged.
“I’m sure everyone is fine. I’m the only one who went bankrupt. Hahaha. I spend over 100 million won per month on rent, labor, taxes, and maintenance… There are zero new subscribers! Yesterday, the moneylender in the building next door said he felt sorry for me and bought me food? This is it. Does that make sense? Yes? Kaak Tue. A filthy capitalist world.”
The Black Crow Guild has virtually collapsed since Jinhyeok’s name disappeared.
Only Kim Hee-woong, the president of the pants who led it, gulped down soju instead of tea.
The staff told me not to drink here, but I couldn’t hear that.
“I’m sorry for those guests, but I’d appreciate it if you could lower your voice a little bit. It’s a nuisance to other guests.”
“It’s an honor for ordinary people just to be in the same space as Jim. Rather, tell Jim to accept the inconvenience and be grateful for hanging out with lowly people.” “Yes?” The manager rolled his
eyes
. It floated in a circle,
making an expression that made it hard to believe that he had heard it correctly.
“Ha, but… Customers, etiquette and rules in the hotel are…” ”
Rules? Is that a standard for the owner of this hotel?”
Alice’s eyebrows curled in reverse.
When the manager became a mute, Alice took it as an affirmation.
The subspace was opened and various treasures spilled out. ”
Thanks to someone erasing his memory, even Jim’s various department store vvvvvip privileges disappeared. But, it doesn’t matter. That kind of thing was insignificant in the face of my power.”
If the privilege is gone, just buy it.
No one can compete with money in front of Alice, who has already recovered her treasury. If
the past could collapse the country’s inflation, ….
…Now it has become a disaster that can shake the world economy.
“Mr. Ellis. It doesn’t work that way, but if you want to be the owner of a hotel, you have to buy a stake in it.”
Teresa began studying modern economics.
“How do you mean it? Stupid saint.”
“Ba, not stupid! Anyway, after downloading the stock app on your cell phone, insert the money…”
“Hoo. After that?”
“If you press the buy button and start collecting stocks, you can become the owner of this company.” “Is it okay to
buy all the things piled up in this order book or something?
” That’s it. Buy cheap and sell expensive. That’s the basic principle of stocks.”
“That’s interesting. However, they do not know the same thing as buying cheaply and selling expensively. I’ll just buy everything at the highest price.”
“That’s a great idea,”
Ellis and Teresa squealed as they were beaten.
It
tells you something really good
. It will lightly cross the unit.
Now, things were about to happen that could change the KOSPI index tomorrow morning.
But just then.
“I liked it because it was a place where educated people gathered… but strange things ruined the atmosphere. That’s right. Talking nonsense that can’t even be fake jewels.”
“That’s right, ma’am.”
A sharp response erupted from the other side.
