All Master of 100 Floors Episode 194
First Universe Quest (4)
“My goodness.”
Ariana let out the breath she had been holding.
Touvalt had lost.
And overwhelmingly so.
Kang Jun-hyeok had kept his word. He used neither magic, martial arts, divine power, nor supernatural abilities. He started the battle with only one skill and won.
‘Gap Movement? What is that again?’
Unreadable. Incomprehensible. It was a power even she couldn’t counter.
That feeling wasn’t exclusive to Ariana. All Players on Volanta Planet were shocked, while Earth’s Players were trying hard to suppress their proud smiles that threatened to rise.
They too were top-tier Players. They weren’t stupid. Rather, they leaned toward being smart. They could tell well enough that they were significantly lacking compared to Volanta Planet’s Players, and that their reactions weren’t very favorable.
So they had been feeling intimidated, but when their representative displayed such power, they couldn’t help but feel proud.
Swoosh.
Kang Jun-hyeok drew his sword. Touvalt staggered and collapsed. The eyes looking up at him were shaking endlessly.
“You, you, you…”
Kang Jun-hyeok paid him no mind and opened his mouth.
“Come out now.”
With those words, two spaces opened.
“Yahoo! Hello!”
What appeared was a black-haired girl. Earth’s Players held their breath. It was Earth’s Administrator.
And another girl appeared. As if reflected in a mirror, she was completely identical to Earth’s Administrator except for her white hair. This time Volanta’s Players held their breath.
She was Volanta Planet’s Administrator.
Each planet had its own Administrator. Volanta’s Administrator looked extremely displeased. In contrast, Earth’s Administrator looked excited.
“I believed in you! Kang Jun-hyeok! I knew you could do it!”
She was truly in a good mood.
How much had she been teased by other Administrators until now.
They mocked her as a useless planet, ridiculed that she would accomplish nothing. They sneered that the Perfect Player was impressive but couldn’t change anything by himself.
Especially Volanta Planet’s Administrator often teased her. She constantly bragged about her planet’s strength and Touvalt’s talent.
So she had always lived being mocked by her, but now Kang Jun-hyeok had perfectly crushed her pride. From her perspective, nothing could be more joyful.
“How’s that! I told you! He’s special! More than that guy you bragged about so much! How’s that! How’s that!”
“…”
Volanta’s Administrator couldn’t retort and ground her teeth. She looked at Touvalt with an irritated gaze.
“You and I will talk after this is over.”
Touvalt flinched and trembled.
Earth’s Administrator smiled and raised her hand.
“Now. Since we’ve decided on representatives too! Now it’s truly the start of the First Universe Quest!”
Simultaneously, the world turned upside down.
“Huh?”
“Where is this?”
Voices could be heard from all directions. Not only the top 200 Players but also lower and mid-tier Players all appeared.
They had been moved to a massive medieval-style city.
A golden barrier surrounded the city, completely cutting it off from the outside. Earth’s Administrator shouted loudly.
“The leader is Kang Jun-hyeok! Move according to his commands! The detailed system window of the Quest will explain everything! Then everyone, fighting!”
With those words, the Administrators departed.
People murmured as they looked around.
A splendid medieval-style city. It was massive enough for all of them to move around without difficulty. A Player who had been looking around briefly muttered.
“…A temple city?”
The city was like a temple that worshipped a god.
Then what god did it worship?
The answer could be known immediately.
“…Ah.”
“Uh.”
The Players who looked toward the center of the city froze and opened their mouths. Those who turned their gaze after seeing others’ reactions were no different.
There was something golden in human form.
It was so massive it reached the city’s ceiling. Like a giant. But that wasn’t what was truly important.
“Ahhh…”
People unconsciously bowed their bodies. They knelt and lowered their heads. They clasped their hands and offered prayers. Everyone assumed a posture of worship toward the golden human.
An overwhelming divine majesty that made one worship just by facing it.
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen this.]
Manbyeonggi muttered. A voice mixed with confusion rang out.
[What are you?]
[First Universe Quest.]
[The Great War’s Loser. Together with Vibrahm, God of Protection, eliminate the [Black Human].]
[The Quest will proceed for one month.]
[Rewards will be determined based on performance.]
“…God.”
Players had encountered god altars several times while climbing the Tower. Earth’s Players were aware that they actually existed, and in Volanta Planet’s case, they had known from before.
But it was the first time directly seeing a god’s form.
People couldn’t dare lift their heads. They bowed and trembled, fearing they might commit sacrilege.
A being that gave mortals awe and fear just by existing.
That was what a god was.
The only ones unaffected were Touvalt and Kang Jun-hyeok, along with Kim Ha-young and Yu Jin-ha.
Kim Ha-young was Yulsir’s apostle. He was already someone who served another. Yu Jin-ha slightly hunched his body and showed courtesy but stopped right at that line.
“From what I see, that being seems to be the one called Vibrahm. I should try talking to him. Follow me.”
“…Are you giving me orders?”
“You lost to me. Shut up and follow.”
Touvalt’s face twisted with anger but he didn’t refuse.
The four headed toward Vibrahm. Touvalt tried to bring Ariana too, but she refused in terror. Separated from Ariana, Touvalt looked slightly anxious but tried not to show it.
As they approached Vibrahm, a voice directed at them rang out.
[What are you?]
“Hmm.”
The intense will momentarily shook their souls. Even Kim Ha-young, who had devoted himself to Yulsir, stiffened for a moment.
Only Kang Jun-hyeok remained unaffected after directly hearing the god’s voice.
Touvalt gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
“Greetings. Vibrahm, God of Protection. I am Tuvalt Shadowstar, a Half-Human Half-Demon from Volanta Planet. I have come to assist Lord Vibrahm according to the Tower’s Quest.”
[…Ah. You came from that place the Victors made? I wondered what it was when you suddenly appeared. So they’re playing tricks like this.]
Vibrahm clicked his tongue and looked at Touvalt, letting out a slight exclamation.
[You. You’re strong. You possess considerable talent. Such talent is rare to see.]
“Thank you.”
Touvalt, having received recognition, smiled brightly. Then he looked at Kang Jun-hyeok with eyes that seemed to say ‘how about that?’
Kang Jun-hyeok silently shrugged his shoulders. Vibrahm next looked at Yu Jin-ha.
[You’re the same. It’s rare for a mortal to possess such talent. But… mentally you’re immature. That part is regrettable.]
“Th, thank you?”
Yu Jin-ha awkwardly expressed his thanks.
Then he looked at Kim Ha-young and spoke in a displeased tone.
[Yulsir? That guy’s apostle? You must not be normal.]
“Thank you.”
Kim Ha-young smiled broadly.
And Vibrahm, who next looked at Kang Jun-hyeok, paused.
[…You. Perfect Player. So you’re that one.]
“I see you know of him.”
[He’s the one making a commotion throughout the entire universe, so I couldn’t not know. And…]
[It’s been a while. Vibrahm.]
[Good to see you.]
Manbyeonggi and Eldyria exchanged greetings. Vibrahm spoke with a lukewarm tone.
[It’s been a while for both of you. Eldyria and… now in a state called Manbyeonggi, I suppose.]
For a moment, puzzlement crossed the others’ expressions. From their perspective, it seemed like he was calling Kang Jun-hyeok by different names. Vibrahm continued without concern.
[Seeing that you two are attached to him, the rumors must be true.]
[What rumors have been spreading?]
[The rumor that he can change everything.]
[It’s still a matter of possibility, but I won’t deny it.]
Vibrahm muttered with an interested voice.
[To that extent?]
[At least from my perspective, that’s how it is.]
[I’m getting interested too. I’ll be able to confirm it directly this time. Did you come here to help me?]
“Yes.”
[Perfect timing since I was having difficulties. If I were in my original state, I could have sorted this out immediately, but my power is currently scattered throughout the universe. Thanks to that, I can’t easily push away even trivial things.]
“What exactly is the problem?”
[Do you know about our history?]
Kang Jun-hyeok nodded.
The great war that determined the fate of the universe.
The beings of the universe were defeated there.
To remedy that failure, Players climb the Tower.
[We were defeated. But we can’t just sit quietly as losers. We’ve been attempting to purify the stolen planets one by one, avoiding their gaze. Seeing that you came, it seems they were aware of everything. I wonder what the Master of the Universe is plotting.]
Vibrahm grumbled and raised his finger.
[What I need you to do is simple. Eliminate those things.]
With those words, the golden curtain surrounding the city became transparent.
The Players gasped in horror and swallowed hard.
Black beings in human form were clinging to the curtain. They covered every part of the curtain so densely that the outside couldn’t be seen. Kang Jun-hyeok narrowed his eyes.
‘Black humans.’
“What, what are those?”
[One of the universe’s Victors.]
Vibrahm said to the terrified Yu Jin-ha.
[We called them black humans.]
“Wait, wait a minute. The number, the number…”
The city was large.
It was big enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of Players and still have room left.
And on the curtain surrounding such a city, black humans clung without a single gap.
Vibrahm answered.
[There are roughly about a million of them.]
“A… million.”
[Their strength would be at the bottom of the first rank. Roughly equivalent to about two of Yulsir’s apostles over there.]
“…”
Kim Ha-young is strong.
Though still on a low floor, having received great Divine Authority, his power was such that he could be called one of Earth’s top Players without question.
Even including Volanta Planet, there weren’t even a hundred Players stronger than Kim Ha-young.
And he could only handle about two black humans at most.
And there were a million black humans. Vibrahm continued quietly.
[It’s quite a small number considering how devastated this planet was. Those things eat life to increase their numbers. Normally they go up to the trillions.]
Black humans eat the beings of the universe to increase their numbers.
The problem was that there were no restrictions whatsoever on this.
They could immediately increase their numbers just by devouring a single fly.
In other words, a powerhouse equivalent to the bottom of the first rank could be born from just a single fly.
[These are the kinds of things you must face. Players.]
“…”
At that fact, Kim Ha-young, Yu Jin-ha, and even Touvalt fell silent.
The universe had been defeated, and they had been given an opportunity.
They knew that fact, but they had only seen roughly what they would have to face.
Though Victors occasionally appeared in the Tower, they had never directly shown themselves. Cases like Kang Jun-hyeok’s were unusual.
And now, through the Universe Quest, they were facing their enemy for the first time.
They felt the wall. A strong sense of helplessness instantly overwhelmed them.
“A million of them.”
Only Kang Jun-hyeok muttered with a calm expression.
“It’s certainly few. I should be able to clear them all out.”
