Episode 192
“Tribal war… ? “What are you talking about?”
Taehyun shouted.
But without an answer to the question, God’s voice gradually diminished.
[There is no turning back now.]
“hey.”
[It’s a pity we won’t see the last of it.]
‘… … .’
Unlike before, it was a one-sided attitude.
Taehyun gave up on hearing any more answers and concentrated his mind.
Because I sensed that something unusual was happening.
[If you fulfill your destiny, we will meet again.]
The last voice was so quiet that I couldn’t hear it even if I concentrated.
“Damn God. “Speak so that I can understand!!”
Taehyun shouted again.
I could no longer hear God’s voice.
Taehyun’s vision blinked.
and.
So so so so so.
Like cracks in pottery, the body collapsed one after another.
No matter how strong it is, it is ultimately a human body.
There was no way the price for accepting that much magic power into a mortal body in the middle of the day was small.
“ugh… eww… .”
Is this what it feels like to insert a needle into each cell one by one?
Taehyun had to feel the pain without even being able to scream.
Physical breakdown.
However, in this place similar to an image world, death cannot be determined by physical collapse.
Mental breakdown due to inability to endure constant pain.
True death would then be decided.
Taehyun shook his head, half out of his mind.
How to get out of this ridiculous situation.
At this moment.
Neither ‘Predation’ nor ‘Rosaria’, which have always been used as hidden cards, can help.
‘You have to unleash all your skills.’
Taehyun’s numerous skills, including predation.
Due to the lack of magical power, simultaneous activation was impossible, but in the current situation, such limitations were not a problem.
‘Use the body as the axis.’
Rather than using computation, the skill is activated by drawing in magical energy scattered in an unknown space.
Even if things don’t go as planned.
It was better than dying like this.
‘now!!’
Taehyun gathered his spirit from the verge of collapse and unleashed his skills.
At the same time, it was a moment to accept magical power in a split second.
‘… … !!’
The blinking vision had already completely darkened.
Still, I was confident.
A new light flashed in the distance, and someone new had appeared there.
Imaginary world or personal space.
In any case, it is a space created by God.
Taehyun was able to predict who the opponent was without difficulty.
“Taehyun Kim. “It was faster than I thought.”
Before the establishment of the New Korea, Korea was called a modern country.
A language not much different from New Korean rang in Taehyun’s head.
‘king.’
As soon as the king appeared, the pain subsided.
The decay of the body was slowing down.
Just like when he was dying in front of Asmodeus.
“why. “It was me, right?”
It was an instinctive question.
Meanwhile, numerous hypotheses were being sorted out in my head.
The truth of the world seen through God.
The king confronting the princes, surpassing their power, and reigning as the true ruler of the Abyss.
A demon dragon that even he couldn’t overcome in the end.
Suddenly, I remembered what I had said to myself as I was dying in my past life.
‘It’s better not to think that a miracle like this will happen again. But hey, if you survive until we meet again, you might be of help to me. Little player.’
It was something I didn’t understand at the time.
And even now.
I couldn’t get the answer I expected from the king.

“Because he disappeared, we don’t have much time.”
Just like God, the king’s voice became increasingly faint.
“From now on, the Abyss and Earth will be connected.”
“Asmodeus… catch… you… Need to grow… all.”
There was noise.
“Hey, I can’t hear you.”
Taehyun shouted in his fading consciousness.
But in the end, no sound was heard, and the disintegration of the body progressed faster than before.
‘… … !!’
Short, intense pain and screams of death.
The moment when I thought my body and mind had completely collapsed.
Tiring.
[The ability of the unique skill Predation increases. Predation (S) – Predation (SS)]
Like a nasty joke, Noname’s voice was heard.
* * *
The three people who met God together with Taehyun.
Kevin Lee, Michael Gore, Cody Cruz.
They had barely made it back to the association building.
If it had been a little later, the warp gate would have been destroyed in the collapsing space.
There is absolutely no way to get out of there without a warp gate.
What occurs in the collapsing space is a small big bang.
Although it is small, its power is not something humans can withstand.
So Taehyun Kim.
The arrogant player’s entire body would have been torn to pieces, leaving no trace of his body.
“I don’t understand why he made that choice.”
Kevin Lee said, shaking his head.
Until now, quite a few people have been frustrated after seeing God.
The stronger a person is, the clearer his or her own beliefs are.
Also, it is not easy to destroy a world built with beliefs.
Some people even expressed strong hostility toward the existence of God.
At times like that, he lost his life to Kevin Lee, Michael Gore, Ricky Harlis, and Cody Cruz who were present.
“Could it be that you have contacted God?”
“No way… “Until now, the only person who could contact God was the head of the United States Players Association.”
Kevin Lee answered Michael Gore’s question.
It’s far-fetched, but it’s true.
Contact with God. And conversation.
It was something that neither Ricky Harlis, who had already died, nor Michael Gore and Cody Cruz, who were by his side, could accomplish.
This is an action that many players and scholars have not been able to pull off until now.
Kim Tae-hyun, who has no religious beliefs, did it?
That is truly absurd.
That was when Kevin Lee thought so.
Kugugugung.
Without warning, the association’s building shook.
The headquarters building, which was designed with cutting edge aftershocks, is shaking.
And then an unbelievable phenomenon occurred.
Tiring.
[Status window is limited.]
[New features are added to the status window.]
[The countdown to the tribal war has begun.]
“tribe… War… ?”
“Countdown… What on earth is this… .”
Kevin Lee and Michael Gore muttered in disbelief.
The voice was uncharacteristically stupid.
Something is happening.
But I have no idea what on earth is going on.
“President of the Association. If there is a problem with the status window system… ?”
Michael Gore asked, wondering if anything, but Kevin Lee shook his head.
The status window system is no joke.
Although there are slight differences from person to person, in the grand scheme of things, they do not deviate from the law.
However, the message in the status window that just popped up was different.
‘This is a phenomenon that can only be seen when the human race is running an update… .’
Moreover, he had to be the only one who could check the message.
But why is this message showing up to everyone?
The first thing that came to mind was Taehyun, who wasn’t here.
Taehyun Kim. New Korea’s Irregular.
Looking at his actions so far, he is not a man who will act without any reason.
‘No way really… ?’
Does this really mean that he contacted God?
Are you saying that you were confident that you would survive even in that ridiculous space collapse?
if. Just one thing.
What if ‘God’ abandons America and chooses Kim Tae-hyun?
Ohs, I got goosebumps.
It was no longer a question of whether or not to attract the United States.
If Taehyun is really chosen by God, maybe.
gulp.
‘The world will flow under the leadership of the new Korea.’
Just like the United States, which has taken advantage of God’s power, has done so far.
While Kevin Lee was imagining things, the shaking of the building was getting worse.
Druddudduddduk.
The building, which had been swinging like a pendulum, eventually tilted to one side.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the building, unable to withstand its weight, collapsed.
As S-rank players, they will not die to this extent, but the damage will not be small.
“gat… scald… .”
Kevin Lee muttered, and the other two felt similarly.
“Let’s get out of here for now. “The evacuation has probably already taken place.”
“Of course… .”
It was when the three people were about to leave the room.
Stand tall.
As if it was a lie, the earthquake stopped.
and.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
A small gate appeared along with the crack in space.
From there, the man who was thought to be the cause of all these problems walked out.
“Whoa… “I thought I was going to die.”
Taehyun exhaled and stepped on the floor.
The pain that felt like a needle pricking every cell of my body still remained.
Taehyun looks fine.
“Kim Taehyun… .”
Association President Kevin Lee muttered like a man who had lost his mind.
* * *
Taehyun came out of the gate and looked around.
A room that used a warp gate equipped with cutting-edge technology.
One thing that has changed is that it is the only means to God.
The gate that Taehyun came through was swallowing up the surrounding area.
‘Is it impossible to head that way anymore?’
Quaaaaaaaaa.
The previously installed warp gate was no exception.
“Wow, Kim Tae-hyun player!! What happened to God?!!”
Michael Gore asked urgently.
“It’s gone.”
“what… Called… ?”
There was anger in Association President Kevin Lee’s voice as he asked the question.
“now… “Are you kidding me?”
He growled with a red face.
“Chairman, please calm down.”
The first to regain his senses was Michael Gore.
He asked Taehyun on behalf of his superior.
“It happened a little while ago. “Can you explain?”
“now… “It seems difficult.”
“what… ?”
“… … .”
Association President Kevin Lee and Michael Gore looked embarrassed.
This is because I thought that since I was acting on my own, I would naturally convey the situation.
‘this… bold… .’
Association President Kevin Lee swallowed the words he could not bear to say.
But Taehyun was the same as swallowing his words.
‘I don’t know what the hell is.’
I have no intention of talking about anything related to the king.
So how much can be said without mentioning the king?
I needed time to organize my thoughts.
Moreover, it is not just the body that is abnormal.
My head was pounding due to the aftereffects of receiving so much magical power.
Nevertheless.
‘It’s difficult to show weakness here.’
“Cody. Kim Tae-hyun… Subdue it.”
Association President Kevin Lee gave the order.
Michael Gore seemed to think the same thing.
“I will help too. “If we let it go like this, we won’t be able to make ends meet.”
He appeared more aggressive than before.
Cody Cruz came forward belatedly.
“It wasn’t like you.”
The two people’s eyes met.
We competed once and worked together in Orgal’s Castle.
Just with your eyes.
I was able to see that there was no hostility between them.
“Taehyun Kim. An explanation for today’s events. “Can you promise?”
“of course. “Isn’t this the covenant we made for that purpose?”
That was the end of it.
Cody Cruz stepped aside, and Taehyun passed him and left the room.
“Cody! Why did you just send it to me?!”
When Taehyun completely disappeared from the room, Michael Gore let out the anger he had been holding in.
“Michael. “You didn’t feel it?”
“What on earth do you mean? “Don’t turn around and talk!!”
“I agree. why… “Are you disobeying my orders?”
Kevin Lee added strength to Michael Gore’s words.
Cody Cruz sighed lightly as he looked at those two people.
They have never faced Taehyun’s ‘real’ power.
So, he is giving an absurd order to just trust in his own strength and overpower them.
Cody Cruz realized it was time to tell the truth.
“Kim Tae-hyun has already surpassed me.”
“… … !!”
“Cody, what is that… .”
Unlike the two people who are surprised.
‘He has truly become a monster.’
Recalling the mysterious power that was stirring inside Taehyun, he brushed his hair.
When did it spill?
My hair was damp with sweat.
“Hehe. “Now I’m in the position of being chased.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Unlike the two people who were silent, laughter leaked from Cody Cruz’s mouth.
Ranked 1st in the world.
It was no longer his title to hold.
