Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 91

“I am not here to fight you.”

Shinsay, one of the ten heroes and the accuser of sin, spoke.

“...Rather, I respect the sacrifice you are making for this world.”

At those words, Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and sarcastically7].

“Everyone, including Mistress and the UN Peace Council, said that in front of me. “It’s a shame because your words and actions are different.”

“The Mistress is wise and cunning, but her pride will ultimately catch her.”

Shinsay continued.

“The same goes for UN members who think they can manipulate heroes like puppets or eliminate them if they want to.”

“Hmm, did you have such a strong spirit of resistance that you decided to keep your mouth shut and become the dog of the permanent members?”

“This was a solo stage that was meant to be for you from the beginning.”

“Then how did you get left as 1+1 on that solo stage?”

“I guess it’s a reason only your monarch can know.”

At those words, Yooseong fell silent and before he knew it, the temporary buffs, including the skill Masquerade, disappeared one after another.

That's why Yooseong asked while forging the hilt of the sword with a dark frostsmith.

“Is there any evidence to believe that your insides are not black?”

“I watched as everyone plotted their own schemes and fell before the King of Heroes. “Is there any reason for me to be as foolish as them?”

“Oh, you’re so smart.”

At the end of the search, Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and that was it.

Kaang!

Immediately after, the shooting star's silhouette disappeared and the blade of dark frost swung in front of Shin Sayer. At the same time, the effect of the Dokgogu Sword was activated and eight swordsmen rushed in. A whirlpool of blades imbued with darkness and cold swirled around.

Even though the blade was swung until it grazed Shinsayer's hair, he remained motionless without even a hint of agitation.

He is one of the heroes, and furthermore, he is strong enough to survive even in the soirée's hell. There is absolutely no way that Yooseong's sword could not be blocked or avoided.

Nevertheless, the ‘sword of sin’ in Shinsayer’s hand remains silent to the end.

Therefore, the confrontation between the two ended there.

It was once a tower built by man's foolishness, and now it has fallen into the hands of a clown lord. It has finally been conquered and has begun to collapse.

With the rewards that must be obtained amidst a threat unrivaled by any tower before.

Some time after the revelations of the UN Peace Security Council and the catastrophe of the tower built by human foolishness.

Gray Show, a talk show on a major British broadcaster.

Really suddenly. Without any prior notice, he proposed to appear on the air, and on the spot, the day's guest was fired, the broadcasting company was turned upside down, and after many twists and turns, the person who would change the viewership ratings was revealed.

“You won’t believe the guests we have here tonight!”

The MC of the Gray Show spoke, and the display in the background of the talk show projected the video.

“Perhaps the most well-known name in the world, we all owe him a debt... Even those who have the most negative views on him cannot deny that fact. “This is Kang Yoo-seong, the king of heroes!”

Various images of the King of Heroes captured on camera were shown, and a shooting star appeared amidst the applause.

“You appeared in front of people for the first time since the UN incident occurred!”

“I was busy dating a saint.”

“As expected, the dating rumor with a saint…

“Oh, it’s a lie, I just told you because I was bored.”

“...In the meantime, you remained silent and did not even contact reporters. Do you have anything to say about the situation at that time?”

“I stayed in a corner of my room for a while and had some time to think. Then I played some LoL... I got the pre-ordered mobile game and played SSR for a bit...

Yoosung sat down on the sofa and answered the host's words.

“To put it bluntly, we were wondering if the world would split in two tomorrow, and since I ate everything, everyone was wasting energy and it ended up like this. “Yes, it’s all my fault because I’m too smart.”

“The mudslinging war between the permanent members regarding the VIP (Very Important Player) Agreement is still accelerating. Already, British Prime Minister Adam Sutler and Russian Prime Minister Romanov have resigned, and presidents of the United States and France have also resigned one after another... “

So what do you think will change?” Yoosung asked back.

“Do politicians fall from the sky or cross the border from outer space?”

“The public appoints them through voting.”

“Then we voted for those idiots who are permanent members? “Oh my god.”

Yoosung answered as if it were someone else’s business.

“I was just about to dig up all the ancestors buried in the graves of the Prime Minister and the President, so I was going to criticize them, but we voted for them! So, should we also dig up the ancestors of the people who were chosen? Still, when I was in school, I was taught to vote when I grew up, so they can't even sell their ancestor's tombstone just because they asked me to vote, right?” The

host's expression froze coldly at those words, and Yoosung continued speaking without paying attention.

” Well, actually, it's good. After all, why did I vote for the British Prime Minister? The reason I'm here is not because I have some convincing teachings to enlighten you, but... it was right then. The expressions on the faces of the audience, including the host, all

said

, The form of emotion disappeared.

“Ah, you finally showed up.”

People's expressions froze as if they were possessed by something, and a shooting star turned his head. A woman's silhouette appeared from behind the stage as if a surprise guest had appeared without even a trace. Britain's hero and the de facto figure of the Western world's espionage organization

. It was Mistress Lydia, a player who is said to be in power.

“You are making such a fuss/

“I want to return that literally. The camera is off, right?”

“Officially, there was a broadcasting accident, so we decided to change to a temporary broadcasting system,” Mistress continued, “

and we were planning to contact us even if we didn’t have to do anything like this anyway.”

“Oh, then you said you should come quickly.”

Yoosung, who was sitting on the sofa, crossed his legs and said,

“Was this your goal from the beginning?”

“What?”

Mistress calmly played it off, and Yoosung coldly continued,

“Replacing the heads of the permanent members of the Peace Security Council and filling them with people who suit your tastes.”

Mistress remained coldly silent, and finally spoke,

“It was for our heroes.”

At the same time, those in the international player police organization that are assisting her, to be precise, the limbs of Mistress began to appear one by one. “The

national leadership has the ambition to use this incident as an opportunity to KWeaponize high-ranking players.”

“They will be replaced in large numbers and it will sound an alarm to them.”

“Do you really think so?”

“I am not here to fight you.”

Mistress answered, as Sinsayer had said before him,

“Rather, I admire the sacrifice our King is making for this world.”

“Oh my, that’s so amazing, I don’t know what to do.”

Yooseong was dumbfounded by Mistress’s words and responded,

“To be honest, the situation at the 0-tier tower itself was something unexpected even for me.”

“So do you know that now?”

“...In addition, the tower's designer, the Mechanism Lord's Apostle, escaped our surveillance and disappeared.”

Hearing Mistress’s words, Yoosung frowned for a moment.

“Well, now that the accident happened, I guess I’ll do my best without making a fuss.”

“The governments of each country, led by our CIPO, are cooperating and tracking down his whereabouts. It is fortunate that our forces contact him earlier, but if those with malicious intent contact him... “They are the ones with malicious intent.

”

Yoosung opened his mouth as if mocking.

“In the first place, wasn’t the CIPO the one that kidnapped all kinds of non-combat players, from the Guide Lord to the Mech Lord’s Apostle, and imprisoned them under the name of protection? The International Criminal Investigating Player OrganizaiorO? “Just change the name to the International Player Gang Organization.”

“You don’t know how dangerous the world would be if the Guide Lord or Mechanism Lord’s apostle fell into the hands of those with malicious intent. It was also an inevitable decision to ‘somewhat’ restrict their freedom.”

“Oh my, who doesn’t think they are American ancestors? Here we have the freedom team without freedom again.”

Mistress said and Yoosung burst out laughing.

“I really believe that he is a villain with less purely malicious intentions.”

“It is a necessary evil that must exist for the order of the world.”

Yoosung sneered at those words.

“Lesser evils are evil and necessary evils are evil. I don’t know why people who call themselves evil walk around with their heads held high like that.”

“...Then what are you going to do now?”

“How about we go find the Apostle of the Mechanism Lord that you missed? So is there any information that can help you?”

“It looks like we are in a special tower that cannot be entered through normal means.”

“Aha. Then, everyone’s feet must be sweating as they desperately look for a way to enter the tower.”

Hearing those words, Yoosung laughed quietly. Mistress was not one to miss that laughter.

“Do you have any guesses?”

“Oh, that’s right. Why wouldn’t it be?”

Saying that, Yoosung stood up. Immediately after, the players assisting Mistress blocked the area around Yoosung in a threatening manner. “Why are you going to

drag me into the basement and force me to eat English food? But you still don’t understand.”

“Have you ever tried sardine pie?”

”No/'

“If you taste it, you won't be able to bear it without telling the truth.”

In the case of Mistress, she is by no means superior in combat ability as a player. However, she is not ranked among the ten heroes for no reason. “...But how can a single servant stop the king of our heroes

? “Can you do it?”

Nevertheless, Mistress shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

“Do you still feel like a hero?” The King of Heroes asked coldly, and Mistress answered with her usual poker face. “It’s an unthinkable crime that someone could commit

. “Redeeming is also a hero’s job.”

「Mechanical Key II of Unknown Purpose」 is calling out to player Kang Yoo-seong!] [

???Tier Would you like to enter the ‘Tower of Clockwork Workshop’? Y/N]

Upon entering the tower, the world is filled with hundreds and thousands of giant monsters. It was a place where cogwheels were interlocking and moving.

There was scrap metal scattered everywhere, and some of it had the shape of a human being.

However, none of them were attacking Yoosung with hostility. From the beginning, it was a place where special players could play their ‘game' without any fighting or anything.

Guide Monarch, Mechanical Monarch, and other towers of those who play the game in their own way rather than fighting.

That's why Yooseong walked along the world of clockwork and that was right then.

“Come on.”

The girl was there. It wasn't an old bookstore with mats or the smell of books. Still, it was there.

“I was waiting, mister.” It was the mechanical girl.
