Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 179

There was a ‘cosmic being' there, narrowing the distance that light can reach over tens of thousands of years with each step and traversing the space between dark matter and interstellar space like its own home.

Lord of heroes.

As the overlord reigning on the throne at the end, when he looked down on the Earth, his hometown was nothing more than a very small and shabby star.

A fleeting planet that can be crushed like a potato with just the slightest force of two fingers.

I watched as beings that were nothing more than specks of dust screamed like ants on a planet as small as a speck of dust.

It was an empty and fleeting scene, like watching a meaningless fight taking place in a colony of ants.

Leaving behind such fleeting moments, a shooting star in human form raised his head.

Like the moonlight shining on a lake, it is nothing more than a mirror that reflects his existence and the ‘incarnation' of the overlord.

A being trapped in the extremely frustrating human bondage and thrown into the middle of a world as small and ephemeral as a speck of dust.

However, in the eyes of humans, their world and its buildings were one of the biggest and most magnificent ‘feats' they had built.

The UN New York Headquarters Building, a towering skyscraper in the panoramic view of New York City.

The Norway Room, the conference room of the Peace Security Council.

“Oh my, I don’t know if you are eating well.”

“...King of Heroes.”

Power figures from the five permanent members were there.

Once upon a time, when the ‘King of Heroes' faced the human monarchs, the human monarchs willingly pointed guns at their own heads and pulled the trigger.

they are dead

But even if they die, their position

still remains.

As long as a seat of power exists, even if a powerful person dies, another powerful person is born. Some people

think

that it is the people who appoint those in power... and that those in power are merely ‘representatives' who are elected according to the will of the people .

However, the people have never been in power for a single moment.

However, looking at the ‘powerful people' sitting there, Yoosung was able to understand how people's thoughts were nothing more than a fleeting dream.

They were nobles.

It was no different from the world of medieval feudalism that I had seen countless times inside the tower.

They are in power from birth, belong to their own society that ordinary people cannot belong to, and only among the nobles can become this monarch.

Therefore, they did not welcome a new ‘powerful person' who would break their order.

Players hoped to function as their own private soldiers and hoped that their existence would be nothing more or less than simple weapons.

Nevertheless, the player has become so strong.

“As I’ve said repeatedly, we gave you a chance.”

And then the king of the player's pinnacle heroes spoke.

“No, I gave you a chance.”

Along with the ‘heroes' who support his empire, led by the Virgin Mary and Mistress who guard his side.

Yoosung there was no longer a hero for humans.

“Right now, people are dying all over the world at the hands of players, and our opinion is very simple.”

And even if he was still protecting the world of humans, it was no longer an action for humans.

“Immediately issue a worldwide statement banning ‘player combat’ and disband player units in all armies;

Players are the power of the nation.

At first, those words were just a slogan, but now, 11 years later, they have become ‘the whole of modern warfare.’

No guns, missiles, drones, or even nuclear weapons had any meaning in front of them.

“Do you realize how trivial and unreasonable the request is?”

And the player has already become an inseparable part of human warfare.

“The war

doesn’t end even if you aren’t a player!”

A powerful person answered.

“Isn’t human history a history of war!”

the person in power coldly shouted, without any pretense to show in front of the public.

“Just as we held guns instead of swords and spears and controlled drones and missiles instead of guns, now a ‘player’ has been added in their place.”

“Why aren’t all weapons in the world ‘banned’? “We too want peace in the world, but we realize that it is impossible.”

“No one can stop the seeds of conflict and strife in this world.”

“Don’t you know how many attempts at overthrow of the government and coups by players have occurred in the past few years?” “Ultimately,

we are not opposed to your will either. However, this treaty is too radical...

“An alternative is to temporarily suppress the spread of player weaponization and gradually reduce the existing player troops... The

humans responded desperately, and Yoosung did not respond.

Human history is a history of war and slaughter.

Even if the form of the weapon they hold in their hand changes, its essence does not change.

“We understand that too.”

It was Maria who broke the silence.

“But a player’s power is more than just the weapons you think of.”

Just as Yooseong resolved to become a hero, she was still fighting for her mission as a saint.

“You don’t really understand what it means to use players as weapons.”

And I desperately began to convince her of the logic behind the ‘Player Weaponization Convention’.

Yoosung watched the scene in silence.

After watching, I immediately burst into laughter.

More and more, the struggle taking place in this world, which is nothing more than a speck of dust, feels so fleeting.

Protecting the world was no longer such an important issue.

Those who protect them or even those who are protected.

The only issue they cared about was player power.

And none of them wanted to give up the power they held in their hands. They succumb to the dilemma of Game Theory, where those who hold power win the moment they give up that power.

“It is now, saint.”

That's why Yooseong answered.

“We try to rid the world of evil, but we can’t.”

U HuW

“Then he is not omnipotent.” Yooseong spoke and for a moment, those in power who did not understand what he said tilted their heads. The same was true for Maria.

“Let’s go back, saintess.”

“Yes, yes...?r

With those words, Yoosung turned his head and Maria held her breath with an expression filled with embarrassment.

One of the people in power asked back at Yooseong, who had his back turned.

“What are your intentions?”

“No, they said you should beat them up.”

Yoosung turned his back and shrugged his shoulders calmly.

“Well, we still have to protect the world.

Because that's what a hero does. “Isn’t that right?”

“Oh, don’t worry too much though. Is a hero a hero for nothing? A hero is someone who saves these beggar people who have no answers.”

With those words, Yoosung continued walking.

“Oh, I’m not sure if the camera is running well.”

When I left the UN headquarters in New York, reporters were there as usual.

“Breaking news! “The closed-door talks on the ban on player weaponization have just concluded!”

“The meeting between the Peace Security Council and the International Players' Union took place in an absurdly faster time than expected...”

Reporters raised their voices everywhere, and Yoosung looked up at the sky in silence.

The sky was very blue.

I lowered my head.

“Now, everyone, please pay attention.”

Yoosung lowered his head and continued speaking.

“I just had an in-depth discussion about the Player Weaponization Treaty, and I realized that what the representatives of the society said was correct: guaranteeing peace. If players don't fight, will war disappear? In the end, they will pick up guns again, control drones, and drop missiles. Our thoughts were too short. After all, there is nothing wrong with what adults say.”

“What that means is that the International Players’ Union has directly withdrawn its stance on the treaty, saying,

“Well, that’s what will happen. “Those in power say they want to use players as weapons, so is there anything we can do?”

said the King of Heroes.

“So I’m thinking of starting a business.”

business. Those words caused murmurs everywhere.

“Since the player has become a weapon, isn’t it strange that the most powerful nuclear bomb is actually sucking a finger? Just call me. “Oh, what are you doing calling me?”

Yooseong continued speaking without paying attention.

“War.”

For an instant, a cold silence fell.

“If you give me money, I’ll let you conquer the world. “Is it that difficult?”

Yoosung spoke, leaving behind the murmur.

“How many seconds do you think it will take for me to wipe this country off the map? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you.”

Yoosung shrugged his shoulders and then snapped his fingers.

[“Don’t you think you’ve seen this message somewhere?”]

[The overlord declares in front of the ‘humans.’]

.......

[“I should have known that I was thankful a long time ago when you treated me so kindly.”]

Yoosung The lord of these heroes and the overlord said:

“You guys are right.”]

Players are weapons and humans never end wars.

[“Well, how can noblemen who can’t properly dispose of the nuclear weapons they have in their hands give up on the players?”]

In front of reporters and all the people in the world, Gamal, the ‘overlord’ who reigned at the top of the game, continued.

“The King of Heroes… You…!”

“no way!”

Indescribable astonishment

echoed among the reporters.

[“Did you think it was a right because the favor continued? Oh my, this is such a shame. Favor is just favor...”]

The King of Heroes paid no heed.

[“My favor ends here.”]

I simply raised my head, leaving behind the meaningless chaos taking place in this dust.

Throne at the end.

999 monarchs were sitting on their respective seats, watching the monarch above them.

And right at the top of the throne spire was the ‘Overlord’.

“Monarch above our monarchs.”]

And in front of him, a ‘monarch’ covered in a seven-legged robe bowed his head.

The demon lord was there.

He was one of the seven great princes, and Yooseong looked at him in silence.

The Demon Lord silently bowed and took off the robe he was wearing.

Beyond the robe was a very familiar face.

In this madness of repeating the same thing endlessly, it was an all too familiar face.

“Humans always need heroes,

so said the Lord of Heroes, looking at himself as if reflected in a mirror.

“We will need as many Demon Lords as there are heroes.”

Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

A treaty that prohibits states that do not possess nuclear weapons from developing new nuclear weapons and simultaneously prohibits states that possess nuclear weapons from delivering nuclear weapons to countries that do not possess nuclear weapons.

Due to this treaty, the number of official nuclear weapons states was frozen to the existing five countries, all of which are permanent members of the UN Security Council (USA, Russia, UK, France and China).
