Chapter 220
The body of the giant soldier appeared with a loud roar . In the original novel, it was the weapon of the Underworld King but in the second half, Yoo Jonghyuk started using it in earnest . The ultimate weapon that struck the giant in the myths was summoned in front of me by the probability I shared with the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven .
Blood flowed as I looked up at Pluto with a messy and shaky vision .
[Your incarnation body has reached its limit!]
[Your incarnation body has reached its limit!]
Shut up . I had to maintain consciousness . At least, until I gave a command to him .
[What? Where is this?]
Then I heard a voice . It was obviously a voice I had once heard before . This guy used his ‘soul’ as the last ingredient . I called the guy’s name . “Kim Namwoon . ”
Then Pluto’s thick body looked this way .
[…Subway grasshopper?]
“…That’s right . ”
Kim Namwoon laughed as if he realized everything .
[Hahaha! What, did you really use those starting words?]
The starting words to summon the giant soldier were given to me by Kim Namwoon .
-Understood? I will use these starting words so remember them well . If you call it properly, I might be able to help you once .
I didn’t know if he would really use those words as the starting word . However, his personality didn’t change just because he died .
“You entered it directly . ”
[Hahaha, of course! I like this feeling!]
Originally, all souls planted in the giant soldier were overseen by the main system . Now Kim Namwoon planted his own soul in the software of the giant soldier .
[Okay, it is a special service . Take a look Ahjussi . I’ll give you a good show . ]
“I’m sorry but I don’t have the strength to do so…”
[What? Why is that?]
I lifted my finger without any strength and pointed somewhere . Pluto’s gaze followed my finger and its mouth moved curiously . I opened my mouth, “Finish it . ”
The probability allowed me to summon the giant soldier for less than a minute . There was probably only 30 seconds left .
The fear-stricken Duke was moving the Factory this way . [T-This is impossible! Why, why is the real giant soldier…!]
The fiercely rotating grinder struck Pluto’s outer shell .
[What is this crappy toy?]
The grinder that the duke was proud of was torn down with a simple swing of its hand .
It was a light hand gesture like tearing a piece of paper .
[Did you call me to destroy something like this? It is really too much . ]
…There were 25 seconds until the summoning was cancelled .
[How annoying . ]
Pluto was moving steadily despite the complaints .
20 seconds . It smashed the arms of the Factory with an outstretched fist .
15 seconds . The hand sword completely paralyzed the operations of the Factory .
10 seconds . A simple kick smashed the main power unit of the Factory .
The fearsome Factory that ate a tremendous amount of stories sank down . It was impossible to know if the duke inside the Factory was dead or alive . Pluto’s body turned towards me .
[Is it over now? Haha, then what now?]
“…”
[Ahjussi . Now you are stuck with me…]
Then a tremendous probability storm swept over Pluto . Kim Namwoon’s voice was buried by a roaring sound that seemed to rip apart time and space . The body of Giant Soldier Pluto started to disappear into powder like it was vaporized . The probability was exhausted and it was forced to return .
…One second .
[Damn . Underworld, I…]
That damn jerk . I’m not going back there, you idiot .
[The summoning of ‘Giant Soldier Pluto’ has been released . ]
The giant soldier disappeared but people still couldn’t react . The majority of citizens were stunned from shock and those who managed to open their eyes were already crazy . It was natural . The incarnations here had witnessed the greatest god of death in this world .
I turned my head and looked at the wreckage of the Factory . The outer shell that wasn’t damaged by my Electrification was now a mess, like it had been hit by a fierce beast . There were no movements from the Factory since its joints were broken and the power part was destroyed . It had been destroyed by the giant soldier in less than 30 seconds .
I slowly climbed up the Factory and found the person sitting in the cockpit . The lid of the cockpit was cracked open and the demon sitting there was bloody .
“Cough, cough!”
It was Duke Syswitz . The duke looked up at me with eyes full of disbelief . “Y-You . What are you…”
The Factory was the duke’s main story . The story was ruined and the duke absolutely wasn’t safe anymore . I aimed Unbroken Faith at the guy . The duke opened his mouth, “From the wenny people… I heard about you . ”
The duke foresaw his end and started chattering . “Unfortunate constellation, you will never survive if you kill me… Because you―”
I stabbed his heart without hesitation . There was no energy left so I fell from the Factory along with his body . There was terrible pain and I gasped as I looked up at the sky . Aileen came running to support me .
“…The duke?”
“He is dead . ”
Then the system messages came up .
[Demon Duke Syswitz has been defeated . ]
[200,000 coins have been acquired . ]
I weakly laughed . However, it wasn’t yet time to relax .
[You have defeated the ‘ruler’ of the industrial complex . ]
[You aren’t a ‘revolutionary . ’]
[The normal scenario route wasn’t followed and the ‘ruler’ inheritance has been cancelled . ]
[The inheritance is automatically transferred to the most prestigious person in the current scenario . ]
[The current ‘hidden scenario’ is in progress . ]
[Kill the ‘real revolutionary’ to enter the main scenario . ]
…It was as expected . Killing the duke didn’t allow me to enter the scenario . I sold the name of Yoo Jonghyuk so maybe Yoo Jonghyuk was given the inheritance rights to the industrial complex .
“…What is my status?”
Aileen bit her lips as she repaired my story . “It’s okay . I’ll fix it . ”
“…How much time do I have left?”
Aileen didn’t answer .
“Tell me quickly . ”
“10 minutes . No… 5 minutes . ”
My five senses were becoming paralyzed . My lips didn’t listen to my instructions and the sensation at end of my hand gradually faded . I couldn’t hear the system messages anymore . Perhaps my body was broken enough that it could no longer be repaired . I didn’t know why I was suffering like this despite coming to the Demon World .
Aileen’s voice quivered . “You said you are looking for a revolutionary…”
“Yes . ”
“Why?”
“I have to kill the revolutionary to enter the main scenario . ”
There was no reason to hide it so I answered honestly . Then Aileen stared at me . “I see…”
Aileen seemed like she made up her mind .
“You can live . Because I…”
“The revolutionary was in the ranks earlier . Isn’t that right?”
I cut off Aileen’s struggling words . “You wanted to hide and also wanted to run away . ”
“…”
“Still, you came out and fought hard . ”
Aileen watched me for a moment before turning her head . I could tell what expression she was making without looking .
“Don’t cry . I’m not going to die . ” I laughed without strength .
「 Kim Dokja thought: If I kill the revolutionary here, the stories I’ve accumulated will be meaningless . 」
There would be a method even if I didn’t become the ‘revolutionary . ’ It had always been this way so far . “Aileen . Didn’t you ask something before? The thing I asked you to make…”
Aileen pulled something out . It was a rectangular communication device equipped with a panel . It was the smartphone I asked her to produce .
“Turn it on please…”
The panel turned on and a message automatically appeared .
[You have acquired a new device . Synchronization has started . ]
The synchronization finished and as expected, a file was created on the desktop . My eyes were still blurred and I couldn’t see properly, but it was obviously the text of Ways of Survival .
「 Kim Dokja thought: I am a ‘reader . ’ All the answers are here . 」
I somehow opened my eyes and looked at the text . However, my vision was blurred and I couldn’t see . I had to find a way to break through this situation by reading Ways of Survival but funnily enough, I couldn’t read it .
「 Kim Dokja thought for the first time . 」
…Dammit .
「 This is the end . 」
At last, even Aileen’s face was blurred .
[The hidden scenario ‘Self-Proclaimed Revolutionary’ has been cleared . ]
It was an auditory hallucination .
[You have become a revolutionary . ]
I definitely thought it was a hallucination .
[Congratulations . You have officially entered the main scenario . ]
[The exile penalty has ended . ]
[Your incarnation body has automatically started to recover . ]
[Your collapsing stories are recovering . ]
It was impossible . My five senses were returning and my faded vision started to reappear . I looked around with wide eyes . Aileen was safe . Jang Hayoung and Mark were the same . None of them were dead . Then why…?
This wasn’t the end .
[The name ‘Kim Dokja’ is being widely spread in the 73rd Demon World . ]
[All the demons in the Gilobat Complex are afraid of your name . ]
[The citizens of the Gilobat Industrial Complex have joined your revolution . ]
I thought I heard wrongly for a moment .
…The Gilobat Industrial Complex? This… it wasn’t the Syswitz Industrial Complex?
[A group of people who consider ‘Kim Dokja’ a hero have appeared in the Gilobat Industrial Complex . ]
The Gilobat Industrial Complex was quite a distance from the Syswitz Industrial Complex . There was no way my name would resonate there . I listened to the explosive messages and thought about some faint possibilities . Even so, the possibilities were too dim .
[Someone has killed the ‘ruler’ of the Gilobat Industrial Complex!]
[You are currently the most prestigious person in the Gilobat Industrial Complex . ]
[Due to the scenario possibility, you have become the owner of the Gilobat Industrial Complex . ]
This was impossible . It was something that couldn’t happen .
“Haha…”
There was a flustered laugh as relief spread from deep inside my heart . I wonder why . I glanced at Aileen’s wrist watch at this moment .
The clock wasn’t going backwards . The time was advancing steadily without rewinding . The needle
could go back but time wouldn’t return .
“…He came . ” I was so happy that I wanted to call out his name .
“Huh? What are you saying?”
I smiled and said, “The real Yoo Jonghyuk came . ”
I couldn’t see or hear it but I could feel it . That person was definitely in this world . The guy who slaughtered a strong demon with the Heaven Shaking Sword had arrived from beyond the horizon . I was lost in these wild feelings and forgot about my smartphone .
「 Perhaps Kim Dokja should’ve checked the smartphone first . 」
I heard the Fourth Wall’s words and reflexively picked up the fallen phone . As usual, the title of the text file appeared on the screen . Then I realized something and a corner of my heart was frightened . Something had been altered . To be exact, there were strange words attached to the title of the txt file .
