The world was undergoing a great transformation.
Kim Si-won, who made his name known to the entire world by becoming the first to clear the Very Hard difficulty.
His mere appearance could be called a wave of sufficient change.
However, the Demon Clan appeared next.
Furthermore, this race called the Demon Clan had already dominated more than 70% of the entire world.
Humanity resisted these Demon Clan members.
At first, people thought the only countermeasure was South Korea and Kim Si-won, but what do you know?
A Hero appeared.
With the appearance of the Hero who received the protection of the Goddess of Light, those who harbored resentment toward Kim Si-won’s usual offensive actions (verbal abuse, threats, physical assault, etc.) joined the Hero’s side in large numbers.
All of this happened very radically in less than a year and recently, another incident broke out.
The death of the Hero.
And the one who killed the Hero was none other than Kim Si-won.
As always, he was at the center of the incident.
However, this was a major incident where it was difficult to create positive public opinion.
The death of Velator the Hero.
The one behind it was Kim Si-won.
The arrogant Kim Si-won. How long must we watch his atrocities?
[Irreversible public opinion. Kim Si-won is now heading toward ruin.]
[For the peace of Earth and humanity, we must resist Kim Si-won.]
Oppose Kim Si-won.
This was public opinion that had occasionally existed in the past.
To be precise, it had been formed quite often but it had never been as intense as this time.
Beyond the level of mere opposition, public opinion was generated that treated Kim Si-won as a public enemy, loathing and hating him even more than the Demon Clan, the enemies of humanity.
It was inevitable.
Currently, most of humanity (those who did not side with the Demon Clan) were gathered under the Hero’s command, in the Light Guild.
But then the Hero suddenly died.
The reason for it had not been revealed either.
Therefore, a public opinion of violent resistance was bound to arise.
The Hero was the hope sent by the Goddess of Light to protect humanity from the Demon Clan.
Since he killed such a Hero, he had no choice but to go beyond resistance and become a public enemy.
Thus, humanity formed a force to carry on the Hero’s will and to oppose Kim Si-won, who killed the hope of humanity.
***
[The Light Guild, carrying on the soul of the Hero. Declaring the Demon Clan and Kim Si-won as enemies of humanity while shouting anti-Kim Si-won slogans.]
[This war will never end until we are all dead.]
And they reached the point of declaring a battle to the death against Kim Si-won.
A war that would not end until someone died.
With this, humanity seemed to be heading into a final stand against Kim Si-won, treating him as an enemy.
It was a series of changes after changes.
It was truly something that could be called a cataclysm.
But among them, the thing that changed the most was an adult site called Freetalk.
Originally, it was a secret place where one could appreciate scantily clad women, but much changed once Kim Si-won started live broadcasting there.
Starting with Kim Si-won, Velator the Hero, who met his death at his hands, also made his majesty known to the entire world through live broadcasts here.
Thanks to that, Freetalk was transformed from a secret site into a stage for Awakeners to show themselves off.
– Let’s go Demon Clan hunting!
– Today, I’m finishing off the Demon Clan.
– Will the Demon Clan die or will I die?
All sorts of clickbait-style provocative titles to attract attention.
Titles that were originally difficult to even speak of became the stage for an Awakener’s proof.
In particular, the one gaining popularity recently was definitely ‘Demon Clan Hunting.’
The Demon Clan is the enemy of humanity.
When the sight of defeating them was broadcast live, sponsorship and interest were bound to be explosive.
Of course, there were few Awakeners who showed performances as outstanding as their titles.
Most of them were just to gain clickbait, and in reality, most of the broadcasts did not even go near the Demon Clan.
It was inevitable.
The Demon Clan is a race that conquered about 70% of the entire world.
They were massive, and although they were on the opposite side, they were not beings that could be touched recklessly.
No, even if one had the Courage to touch them, Courage without the skill to back it up was nothing more than bravado.
At least among the Awakeners broadcasting on Freetalk, those with such Courage and skill were only a few.
Because of that, the popularity of Freetalk, which had been in full swing, was slowly cooling down.
Kim Si-won, who recorded the highest number of concurrent viewers, was infrequent with his broadcasts, and Velator, who recorded the next highest number of viewers, had passed away.
Since the two main characters of the hot topics did not show themselves, the perception that Freetalk’s popularity only attracted attention-seekers who only used
clickbait grew stronger.
Since most of the broadcasts that people entered out of curiosity at first were just smooth talk, nothing more than an attempt to increase viewers, it was natural for the number of visitors to gradually drop.
It was like riding a roller coaster, hitting a peak and then dropping to a low point in an instant.
The current number of concurrent viewers on Freetalk, which once recorded up to 10 million, was only about 100,000.
With a low-altitude flight dropping nearly 100 times, it became one of the sites slowly forgotten in people’s minds.
But at some point.
[‘KSW’, whom you registered for interest, has started a broadcast.]
An alarm sounded.
It was a Freetalk alarm that pops up when a BJ one has registered for interest, so-called favorited, uploads a live broadcast or a notice.
The name KSW, which seemed to be made haphazardly but at that moment.
[Number of Viewers: 1,235,198]
Just because the alarm sounded, more than 1 million viewers filled the room, far exceeding the average Freetalk user count of 100,000.
It was inevitable.
Because the BJ name KSW was one used by only one person.
***
Kim Si-won, he was conducting a live broadcast on Freetalk again after a long hiatus.
“It’s been a while.” I opened my mouth while looking at the camera.
Specially this time, I was conducting the broadcast by having a separate person filming, rather than a method of sharing my perspective like an action cam.
The person filming?
He was Minister Kim Chaun, who could be called my exclusive secretary.
I was in the middle of conducting a live broadcast in a slightly different way like this, having borrowed a high-quality camera by requesting it from the Government.
“Everyone asked me. Why did you kill the Hero?”
There is no time to be bored.
Simultaneously with starting the broadcast, I revealed the secret regarding the death of the Hero, which was the most talked-about topic recently.
“The reason is simple. Because the one I serve…”
Of course, it’s not true.
.
There is no being that dares to be above me.
That goes for gods as well.
Nevertheless, there is one reason why I speak lies like this now.
“Because the God of Victory wanted to execute the pitifully wretched Apostle of Light.”
It is for a play to break that cycle that repeats forever between the Hero and the Demon King.
Through a well-crafted play called the Hero and the Demon King, the gods of Light and Darkness gained faith and belief and became major gods.
That cycle that started from the Gritia Continent was continuing in the same way on Earth.
In a world where the Demon Clan is rampant, humans cry out for Light.
For dominance, the Demon Clan craves Darkness.
Two opposing beliefs delivered powerful energy to the gods of Light and Darkness, and that dominance was bound to continue forever.
What those bastards prepared was the classic of the Hero and the Demon King.
Therefore, to break it, the same kind of play, a different kind of content was needed.
Of course, hot content to break the existing one.
‘Those bastards are old-fashioned.’
The gods of Light and Darkness are mistaken.
To people these days, the classic of the Hero and the Demon King doesn’t work.
Something hotter, content that demands so-called refreshing satisfaction is needed.
And I knew the method to satisfy that.
“And today, He has revealed His True Form to personally awaken you foolish people.”
A hidden mastermind?
That kind of thing doesn’t work these days.
Revealing it hotly when it’s time to reveal it.
That is the content that works these days.
Therefore.
“Behold! Him who only cries out for victory!”
– Swish.
The camera turns according to my signal.
Right?
Left?
No, it’s not left or right, it’s up.
– Flash!
A brilliant Light, a five-colored brilliant Light like a halo, spreads out in a circle and then, “Thump”
The one slowly descending.
The one walking slowly as if there were invisible stairs is none other than…
‘Falsehood.’
It was the God of Falsehood who imitated my past appearance, the divinity of the God of Victory.
Indeed, a master of transformation proficient in deception and lies.
That appearance, and the special effects, looked like a great being with powerful and brilliant authority to anyone who saw it.
“I am the god of those who crave victory.”
A relaxed gesture, an arrogant gaze as if looking down on everything.
“Thud!”
And I knelt down in accordance with that gesture.
Right now, everyone watching this broadcast must be unable to hide their shock.
I usually showed an appearance that was beyond arrogant, as if living in the world alone.
Since someone like me knelt down, the shock will be enough to shake the entire world.
Slide—
The touch of that bastard, the God of Falsehood, reached above my head.
‘My Apostle Kim Si-won. Speak what you desire.”
He delivers the lines while pretending to be all solemn according to the script.
“I pray to the Great One. Please show your majesty to those people full of only murderous intent, to those lowly servants born of darkness.”
Along with those lines.
– Swish.
The camera that was filming the God of Falsehood and me points downward.
“Kyuaaaaak!”
“Kieeeeeek!” All sorts of screeches burst out.
Below, that place was hell.
It was full of monsters of terrible shapes, the Demon Clan that completely surrounded all sides.
The number was so great that no matter how far one looked, the procession of the Demon Clan stretched endlessly.
It wasn’t just the ground.
– Swish, swoosh!
The air was also seized by flying monsters and the Demon Clan, so there seemed to be no room to escape at all.
It was inevitable.
The place where we are currently is the Fukuoka Tower.
Since we exposed our existence and location by emitting energy a moment ago, all the Demon Clan members in the vicinity had been deployed.
Fukuoka is one of the strongest regions ruled by the Demon Clan.
Since I spread the word that I am here in such a place, it was a predicted event that such a sight would unfold.
‘The more it is like that, the more enormous the belief generated when overcoming this crisis and showing absolute power.’
A crisis situation that no one seems able to escape from.
If one overcomes this crisis situation with overwhelming power, there would be no better requirement to give more belief than that in this world ruled by power.
Of course, the protagonist now is not me.
The God of Falsehood, who is acting as the God of Victory.
That fellow must become the protagonist.
“If that is what you want, gladly.”
The camera that was filming the surrounding Demon Clan points toward the God of Falsehood once again.
Seeing how he finds the designated camera route even though it must be very nerve-wracking, Kim Chaun, that fellow, seems to have become quite bold while being with me.
After glancing at Kim Chaun.
Sphere of Chaos.
He created a massive Black hole in the air.
It was the sphere of destruction that had been showcased before, which sucks in all living beings.
“Oooooooooh!”
However, it exerted an incredible suction power incomparable to the past and began to devour all surrounding living beings, the Demon Clan, and monsters.
An instant, or a blink of an eye.
A blink of an eye was enough to deal with all those Demon Clan members reaching tens, no, hundreds of thousands.
“My Apostle, your trivial will has been realized!”
A gaze where arrogance, as if looking down on the world, is felt.
And in that moment.
「Number of Viewers: 11,087,775」
The influence of sweeping away Fukuoka in an instant spread its influence widely to the world, vomiting the spirit of breaking the record for the maximum number of viewers I had ever recorded with an enormous 11 million viewers at once.
