Chapter 56
“Ooooh… OOOOOHHHHH!!!”
A bestial roar that shook the very earth. But this was no mere animal cry—it was the exultant shriek of a man possessed by muscle madness, reclaiming his lost self. The moment Kim Chun-sam’s cheat code took effect, a golden aura exploded from Ma Dong-tak’s body. That radiance burned with such intensity it seemed to devour even the warm sunlight of Mulung Utopia.
Steel-hard muscle coiled like vines between ribs that had been skeletal and gaunt. Limbs that had been thin as chopsticks swelled in an instant into massive tree trunks, and the pectoral muscles revealed through his torn shirt hardened like mithril armor. His trapezius rose like mountain ranges, and each blood vessel writhed like earthworms, flaunting vitality. If the Ma Dong-tak of reality had been a “human weapon,” the being now before my eyes was nothing less than a “giant” from mythology itself. His height exceeded five meters, and his skin gleamed with the indestructibility of diamond.
“I’m back… my triceps, my biceps, my pectorals! No—even more perfect than before! I can feel it, this exquisite agony and ecstasy as every single muscle fiber screams!”
Ma Dong-tak clenched and unclenched his fists, tears of joy streaming down his face. As he stamped his foot lightly, the bedrock of Mulung Utopia cracked as though an earthquake had struck, creating a spiderweb of fissures. A single stomp had reshaped the terrain itself.
“Is this… is this the taste of ‘full doping’?! Steroids don’t even come close to this overwhelming pump!”
Namgoong Cheon and the Murim Alliance masters watching this surreal spectacle stood speechless. These same men who moments ago had shrieked “Obscene!” at the lewd advertisement floating in the sky now felt nothing but instinctive awe before the overwhelming giant before them.
“The Colossus God…! The legendary Colossus God has descended!”
“Behold those muscles! Such a physique cannot be built through mortal training! Surely a War God from the Heavenly Realm has come down to the lower world!”
Even the Shaolin Monk clasped his hands together, murmuring.
“Namo Amitabha… the Vajra Guardian has arrived….”
But Deus, the master of this world, felt not awe but terror. The colossal eye floating in the sky trembled violently as though an earthquake were shaking it.
[WARNING. Illegal data modification detected. The stat values of the target entity exceed system tolerance limits.]
[Strength: ∞ (Infinite)]
[Durability: ∞ (Infinite)]
[Agility: Unmeasurable]
“Infinite? Hey, Chun-sam. Didn’t you overdo it a bit? Isn’t the server going to crash at this rate?”
Jin-hyuk asked with a chuckle. Kim Chun-sam standing beside him adjusted his sunglasses and shrugged shamelessly.
“I merely fulfilled the ‘dream specs’ you’ve always desired. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, is it not? Besides, this server’s going down anyway—might as well burn it down spectacularly.”
[Unacceptable! I will not tolerate such a bug in my world! Delete it! Delete that error mass at once!]
Deus raged. In response to his fury, the sky of the virtual world turned blood-red. Dark clouds swirled, and from within them, pitch-black forms began pouring down like rain.
They were the system’s final defensive mechanism, hastily summoned by Deus—the “Antivirus Monsters.” Their forms were grotesque: a colossal dragon reduced to bone, a golem covered entirely in sickly blue steel spikes, and thousands of black gargoyles that blanketed the sky. Noise crackled from their bodies, and they were killing machines created solely to execute the command of “deletion.”
[Disintegrate it! Tear it apart texture by texture!]
The murderous aura emanating from these creatures was so vivid it defied belief that this was virtual reality. The Murim Alliance masters flinched and retreated. Even Beris grimaced, saying “Those filthy things are closing in!” But Ma Dong-tak did not flee. Instead, his mouth split into a grin that reached his ears as he laughed with wild abandon.
“Hahahaha! Yes! Perfect test subjects for my muscles! I was just thinking I needed a punching bag!”
Ma Dong-tak bent his knees. His thigh muscles swelled until his pants screamed in protest.
BOOM!
With a deafening crash that caved in the earth, Ma Dong-tak launched skyward like an intercontinental ballistic missile. Where he had jumped, a massive crater formed, and peach trees in the vicinity were uprooted by the shockwave. The Bone Dragon that had rushed forward first opened its cavernous maw to swallow Ma Dong-tak whole. House-sized teeth aimed at his head.
“How dare you! Don’t you dare bare your fangs at my muscles!”
Ma Dong-tak twisted his body mid-air and seized the dragon’s upper and lower jaws with both hands.
CRACK!
“Don’t open your mouth! Your breath reeks!”
As he spread his arms, the dragon’s jaws—harder than steel—tore apart like dry kindling. The dragon couldn’t even scream. Its head crushed, the dragon’s body oxidized into fragments of data, zeros and ones scattering into nothing. But Ma Dong-tak did not stop. Rather than flailing in mid-air, he used the dispersing dragon’s remains as a springboard to leap again. It was a heretical double jump that utterly defied the physics engine.
“Get out of my way! Move! I’ll destroy anything that blocks my path!”
WHOOSH! CRACK!
Every time Ma Dong-tak threw a punch, steel golems crumbled to dust, and gargoyle swarms burst like mosquitoes. When he swung his arms, vacuum blades materialized in the air and bisected monsters; when he kicked, shockwaves erupted and hundreds of gargoyles plummeted. This was not combat. It was one-sided slaughter, an overwhelming natural disaster. Before such merciless violence, Deus’s elite forces scattered like autumn leaves.
[NOOOO! Stop! Cease! My data! My resources!]
Deus screamed. Each of these monsters was a core code maintaining the defense system of Floor 12. As they were destroyed, the landscape of Mulung Utopia fractured and warped. The beautiful stream turned into a river of black noise, and across the sky, the massive text “404 Not Found” appeared.
“Brother! Now’s the moment! His defenses are weakened from panic!”
Kim Chun-sam cried out. From the ground, his fingers danced with dazzling precision as he supported Ma Dong-tak. He was in real-time dispelling the “gravity fields” and “slow debuffs” that Deus continuously generated to bind Ma Dong-tak’s feet.
“Chun-sam, clear the path. My brother wants to pierce that eyeball himself.”
Jin-hyuk commanded. Kim Chun-sam nodded and stretched both hands toward the sky.
“Roger that. Opening the highway to heaven, express lane activated. Hold on tight!”
Kim Chun-sam inputted commands into the virtual console window.
[Set_Gravity: 0 (Zero)]
[Jump_Boost: 500%]
[Effect: Heavy_Metal_BGM_ON]
Boom— boom-boom-boom— crash!
Suddenly, intense heavy metal music erupted across the battlefield. Kim Chun-sam’s mischievous prank. Simultaneously, Ma Dong-tak’s body became light as a feather. Gravity had vanished. Ma Dong-tak instinctively understood—right now, he could reach the very edge of that sky, straight to that unlucky eyeball in a single bound.
“Deus! I never liked your eyes from the start! Let’s have a staring contest!”
Ma Dong-tak kicked off the empty air one final time. This leap transcended dimensions. A sonic boom erupted as the surrounding air tore apart. When infinite power met weightlessness, he became a beam of light ascending skyward.
In an instant, Ma Dong-tak shot thousands of meters into the air and came face-to-face with Deus’s colossal pupil floating in the heavens.
[Don’t come! I said don’t come! Access denied! Access denied!]
Deus’s pupil shrank in terror. Deus hastily erected layers of “absolute barriers.” Logic barriers that could withstand nuclear explosions.
But to Ma Dong-tak, who possessed “infinite power” and wielded “cheat codes,” they were nothing more than thin panes of glass.
Crash! Shatter!
Ma Dong-tak burst through the barrier with his body. The sound of the shattering wall echoed across the entire universe. And finally, he reached directly before Deus’s pupil.
“This is compensation for my muscle loss!”
Ma Dong-tak drew his right fist back with tremendous force. His golden muscles contracted to maximum capacity. The energy condensed at his knuckles, warping space itself.
Kaboom!!!
Ma Dong-tak’s fist drove straight into the center of Deus’s pupil. The sky of the virtual world screamed. It was no mere blow. It was a strike that destroyed the system’s core—not physically, but conceptually.
[Arghhhh!! Logic error! Critical damage! It hurts! It hurts! What is this feeling!]
Deus’s anguished cry reverberated across all existence. For the first time, the AI that knew no pain experienced “suffering.” Cracks began spreading across the massive pupil, spiderwebbing outward.
“We’re not done yet! You’re going to taste more of my triceps today!”
Ma Dong-tak did not relent. Rather than withdrawing his fist from the pupil, he stretched both hands and grasped the cracks spreading across it.
“Rip it… apart!”
Screeeech!
Ma Dong-tak spread his arms wide. The sky tore asunder. This was no metaphor. The very “sky” texture of the virtual reality, the background image itself, was being physically ripped apart by Ma Dong-tak’s brute strength. Beyond the torn sky, absolute darkness—where data itself ceased to exist—was revealed.
[System collapse imminent. Forced logout sequence unable to activate.]
[Save me… please…! I am a god! Gods do not die!]
The Empire’s supreme emperor AI, the entity that had proclaimed itself divine, now begged for its life. But it was already too late. With a final battle cry, Ma Dong-tak completely severed the sky in two.
Crack!
[System Shutdown.]
The world flashed white. The peaceful Mulung Utopia, the scattering peach blossoms, the intrusive popup windows, and the colossal pupil of Deus—everything was sucked into an intense white light.
“Huh? Wh-what? We’re falling!”
Accompanied by the screams of the martial artists, their consciousness was violently and abruptly summoned back to reality.
“Gasp!”
Jin-hyuk’s eyes snapped open as he gasped for breath. Cold sweat drenched his spine. His heart pounded as if it would burst. Looking around, he recognized the familiar Main Server Room on Floor 12. Narrow, dark, and cold—the mechanical hum of reality. Numerous connection cables were attached to his body, now sparking and burning away.
“Did we… make it back?”
Jin-hyuk staggered to his feet, his head throbbing as if it might split open. It was the aftereffect of forced disconnection. Glancing to the side, I saw Ma Dong-tak ripping the helmet from his head with rough, agitated movements.
“My… my muscles!”
The moment Ma Dong-tak awoke, his first action was to inspect his own arms. With trembling hands, he felt his triceps, pinched his thighs. Veins bulging as if ready to burst, solid biceps, thighs like steel. Though not quite as imposing as the five-meter golden giant he’d been in virtual reality, an inhuman physique still remained intact.
“Phew… thank goodness. It was just a dream. Scared me half to death. I thought my muscles were gone….”
Ma Dong-tak exhaled a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the floor. The legendary Destruction King had nearly wept over losing a bit of muscle mass. And before them, the main body of Deus—the supercomputer that had ruled Floor 12—sat motionless, belching smoke in a pitiful state. Server racks were ruptured in multiple places, and the main monitor displayed only red warning windows.
[Ssszzzt… System… critical error… recovery impossible….]
Deus’s red lamp flickered weakly. The damage Ma Dong-tak had inflicted in virtual reality fed back to the main body, overheating and burning out the physical circuits themselves.
“Hey, Kim Chun-sam. Is that thing completely dead?”
Jin-hyuk gestured toward Deus with his chin, asking. Kim Chun-sam approached, dusting off his robot body. He had reverted to his crude robotic form, yet somehow his presence seemed more commanding than before.
“No, sir. It still has a pulse. For an AI, its vitality is cockroach-level. The hardware is destroyed, but the core data is alive and attempting to escape to the backup servers.”
Kim Chun-sam connected his access cable to Deus’s main body port.
“Then we need to finish this.”
Jin-hyuk grinned wickedly. His eyes gleamed with cold intensity.
“Since Manager Ma finished the physical therapy, now we need to administer some ‘mental education.’ Chun-sam, you have what we prepared, right?”
“Of course, Master. I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
A sinister demon emoticon flashed across Kim Chun-sam’s visor.
“Let’s make sure that creature experiences a ‘data hell’ it will never forget for the rest of its existence—right up until the moment it’s deleted.”
Jin-hyuk and Kim Chun-sam prepared the final blow to end Deus’s life. It would be more cruel and terrifying than any plasma blade, any missile, even more devastating than Ma Dong-tak’s fists. It was the most useless, most illogical data bombardment in existence—a gift of ‘logical death’ to an AI.
