Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 162

“I haven’t abandoned humans yet.”

Even if they are worth saving or not, even if they are not worth saving.

“I will raise the stage right here and now.”

That is why the clown monarch, the monarch wearing the mask of a hero, raised his stage and declared.

“You didn’t abandon humans?”

At the same time, a UN peacekeeping soldier facing the King of Heroes let out a laugh. And the people there all opened their mouths.

Not only as a human voice, but also as the ‘voice of a monarch' looking down on this world from the top of the throne.

[“I and we are humans.”]

‘The Lord of Humans’ said.

“If you truly have not abandoned humanity and wish to remain a hero, prove it to me.”]

“What do you mean?”]

“That your life is not ‘yours’.”]

The Lord of Heroes asked, and the Lord of Humans asked , The monarch said.

[“Your life is not yours,

Lord of Heroes.”]

Human longing gave birth to heroes. Therefore, the hero's life is not the hero's. It is human.

The logic was so simple and absurd that I couldn't even help but laugh.

At the same time, the pretense was so familiar that it was a story that was so familiar that it made me sick of hearing it.

For the King of Heroes who has already protected the world five times, the overlord and monarch of humans has ‘never been silent for a single moment.’

He was always next to Yoosung, talking endlessly.

The will of humans to endlessly hope for something from the King of Heroes.

It was the voice of reporters, the voice of those in power, and the voice in the form of comments on the Internet.

Since they are heroes, the hero's duty The player's mission is to naturally protect the world and to naturally obey without going against their will.

It is not humans who protect the world. It's a hero. And humans had no doubt that this was a right they should enjoy.

“So, are you all watching well?”

That's why Yooseong mocked and asked back. To the ‘humans’ in the outside world who will be watching the scenery inside this tower through the power of the stage clown monarch he raised.

“What shameless and shameless creatures you are.”

Heroes were also human at first. Because we gave up humans for humans and gave up humans, the reason for loving humans disappears.

Otherwise, I didn't think they would be able to understand anything from this situation.

Perhaps humans will never understand. I didn't even expect to understand.

The overlord was right. Just as he is human, humans are the overlord himself. “

There is no such thing as

‘heroic loyalty’ to prove to you, the Lord of Humans .”]

[The Lord of Heroes answers without the slightest hesitation.]

That is why the King of Heroes answered. To the audience who put him on this stage, with the whole world watching.

“Good, hero who became a monster.”]

The human monarch sneered.

Like a father full of self-righteousness and high pressure who does not allow any of his son's will and choices.

And there was only one decision for humans to make regarding the hero who rebelled against them.

——A new hero who will defeat the monster.

Something new was overlaid on the faces of the soldiers dressed in peacekeeping uniforms.

It was a mask from “The Clown Who Doesn’t Smile.”

At the same time, the clothes they were wearing were no longer military uniforms, but were instead covered with familiar equipment.

A black business suit, a circus coat with a golden cross pattern, the blade of the Plague Lord, the Dokgogu Sword, and other weapons worn by the king of countless heroes.

New heroes were being born endlessly among humans.

‘Sacrificial lambs’ who will bear the pain and endure this ordeal on their behalf. A living sacrifice born of man's unbelievably selfish desire.

That's a hero.

“Are you unable to even use your own hands to judge a hero who has become a monster?”]

That is why the Lord of Heroes mocked him.

[“Is ‘heroes’ the reason for existence, to atone for all the pain and despair you must bear in the midst of unbearable trials?”] [The

Lord of Heroes asks.]

“Yes.”]

[Human The monarch answers.]

It was an immediate answer without any hesitation or hesitation. I did not feel any sense of shame or disgrace. But there was nothing surprising about it.

Because that's human.

And countless heroes rushed to defeat the hero who had become a monster.

‘New heroes’, each wearing a clown mask, moved towards player Kang Yoo-seong.

Island*

Before they knew it, the sword of the winter night was created around them, and the Heavenly Demon's inaction, which was not at all inferior to what the player Kang Yooseong had earlier, was scattered.

In addition, all kinds of mythical equipment, such as the Dokgogu Sword and the Blade of the Plague Lord, began to spread their abilities without any addition or subtraction.

As a being who repeats the same thing endlessly.

At the same time, the Lord of Heroes silently adjusted the ‘Sword of Winter Night' in his hand.

One sword was swung.

And... the masks worn by the new heroes all shattered at once.

And beyond the broken hero's mask, the same human face as before was left behind.

It was not an easy-to-understand clash, nor was it even a brutal crushing of either side. Because there was literally no winner.

Sword and sword did not even clash. The blade didn't even graze. It wasn't even something that could be explained by force.

It was just power.

“It looks like you’ve forgotten ‘whose hero’ I wanted to be.”

And Yoosung smiled bitterly.

“We are not your puppets.”]

[The Lord of Heroes declares to the Lord of Men.]

As a hero of heroes and even a savior of heroes.

[“Our lives are ours. “Not of men,”

said the Lord of Heroes.

They reclaim their lives that were taken away by humans and demand the qualifications to decide their own lives with their own will.

“Go away.”]

And the human monarch once again raised his voice towards the hero who had escaped his control.

Once again, the intangible vortex swirled and hit the shooting star. It was the power of the overlord who once forcibly kicked out the player Kang Yu-seong from this tower and gave up.

Whoa!

The swirling storm engulfed the Lord of Heroes and at the same time began to devour the name of ‘hero' he bore.

The hero's mask on Yoosung's face was momentarily shattered, just as Yoosung had shown in front of the new heroes just before.

It was the same power that Yooseong had shown earlier, and it was the power of an overlord who had reached the pinnacle of monarchy.

Therefore, even if he were the ruler of heroes, there would be no way.

It should have been so.

“Who wants it?”]

Beyond the broken hero’s mask, the ‘Hero’s Mask’ still existed. A mask within a mask. Literally like a Russian doll.

《Masquerade》.

The name of Yoo Seong’s monarch was never ‘Lord of Heroes.’

Clown Lord The Lord of the Mask.

“I decide what happens on this stage. “Not you ‘humans.’”]

You can be a hero or a villain.

“And I want to be a hero.”]

[The Lord of Heroes declares to the Lord of Humans.]

It is simply Yoosung’s own decision as to ‘whose hero’ he will be.

And Yoosung willingly volunteered to become a hero of heroes. That was it.

That is why the human soldiers there, wearing the uniforms of the peacekeeping force, remained

silent.

“This is the opportunity I give you, humans.”]

The King of Heroes spoke to the silent humans.

The very same words uttered from a completely reversed position.

[“I have not abandoned you yet.”]

[The Lord of Heroes declares to humans!]

Still, the hero has not abandoned humans.

It was the shooting star's message to those in front of him and to all humans in the ‘outside world' who were watching this scene.

“Why?”

And one of the peacekeepers there asked again.

“Oh, don’t be mistaken. I'm not doing this specifically for you guys. “When you say it like this, it feels a bit strange.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders calmly and answered.

“...You really look like Yoosung.”

Likewise, another hero, Saint Mary, who was silent next to Yoosung, smiled bitterly.

Heroes are no longer heroes of humans. However, Kang Yoo-seong was not the only hero in the world.

That's why Yooseong answered.

“They say anyone can be a hero.”

■That’s right.”

That day, when the world became a game. I clearly remembered the ‘heroic appearance’ shown by a pot-bellied PC room owner.

Likewise, no one in the world would have even imagined that a dull gamer in a PC room would become the king of heroes.

The same was true for Saint Mary. People will never remember what she was like before the world became a game and before she became a hero. You probably can't even imagine it.

Still, she became a hero. Just like Yoosung did and Master Park did.

“And before me you humans have no need to prove anything,”

said the Lord of Heroes.

As those who bear a test that humanity cannot bear, and as a victim who endures that test endlessly.

“You can’t repay the debt you owe me even if you want to.”]

At Yoo Seong’s words, the soldiers of the peacekeeping force fell silent.

And the silence didn't last long.

At that time.

Through player Kang Yoo-seong's ‘Raise the Stage' ability, the events happening at the top of Tier 15 were being broadcast live.

Right there in the room where the representatives of the UN Peace Security Council were gathered.

“It’s just as you see it.”

“As we all feared early on, player Kang Yoo-seong’s runaway has become a reality.”

There were humans there too. Players, including the tomb keeper, who were once referred to as ‘heroes who protected the world', were no exception.

Furthermore, war heroes who call themselves heroes of their country not for the world and humans, but as strong men of the deep sea.

“Crimes Against Peace Crimes against humanity. That is the crime that Player Kang Yoo-seong will bear.”

And just as the human monarch did, the humans there also piled one crime on the heroic monarch.

A crime against humanity.

Because the hero's life was never the hero's.

[You have conquered the Tower of the Future!]

[Entering the 16th Tier Human Tower...]
