Chapter 86
With Kang Jin-hyuk’s chilling declaration, the horrific violet mixture churning inside the drum barrel rose with a sickening squelch toward the tip of the extractor’s massive needle.
Behemoth’s gastric acid, Mammon’s deadly venom, the Lich King’s frigid essence, and even the mana residue of the Constellations—the most virulent and noxious waste in the entire universe, all simmered together into a single brew. It was the ultimate chemical weapon, engineered specifically to annihilate parasites.
Kiiiiieeeek—!!!
The Outer God Demiurge seemed to instinctively sense the lethal toxicity radiating from that violet liquid. Tens of thousands of eyes rolled wildly, glaring at the syringe in Kang Jin-hyuk’s hand with bloodshot intensity.
Crash! Boom!
The Outer God lashed out with a colossal bundle of tentacles hundreds of meters long, wielding them like whips. The appendages tearing through the air were themselves devastating weapons of mass.
The thick marble pillars of Floor 20 shattered like dried stalks, raining debris upon them.
“Everyone, scatter! Don’t try to block it head-on under any circumstances!”
Kang Jin-hyuk shouted urgently, rolling across the floor.
“Ugh! Director! Even evasion has its limits! The creature is so massive that the entire space of Floor 20 falls within its attack range!”
Namgoong Cheon cried out, deflecting the cascading debris with his blade aura, while Ma Dong-tak barely managed to parry an incoming tentacle with his iron lever, breathing heavily.
The Outer God’s skin still secreted an ultra-corrosive mucus that dissolved bone on contact, making physical counterattacks impossible. Even with Kang Jin-hyuk’s sole weapon—the parasite-killing syringe—they couldn’t get close enough to the creature’s main body to inject it, overwhelmed by the relentless barrage of tentacles.
“Roooaarrr! Master! I’ll draw its attention! Launching all missiles!”
Kim Chun-sam overheated his engines, firing dozens of mana-infused missiles from the launchers mounted on his shoulders.
Boom-boom-boom-bang—!
The missiles struck the surface of Demiurge’s tentacles, erupting in brilliant explosions. Yet when the smoke cleared, not even a scorch mark remained on the Outer God’s surface.
True to its title as the creator of the universe, its shell was an impenetrable armor that no ordinary physical blow or magic could so much as scratch.
“It’s not working, hyung! That worm bastard’s durability is insane!”
“It’s not about durability—it’s about the parasite’s most defining characteristic: the thickness of its ‘cuticle layer.’ To protect itself from gastric acid and immune cell attacks, it evolved its outer skin to be extraordinarily thick and resilient. Unless we pierce through that dense shell and inject the parasite killer directly into its bloodstream, it’s useless!”
Kang Jin-hyuk clicked his tongue and adjusted his grip on the extractor.
The Outer God realized that physical force or environmental changes alone couldn’t easily crush Kang Jin-hyuk’s party. Chun-sam, having seized control of Layer 19’s authority, continuously operated the environmental control systems to shield them.
Kiiieeeek—!
At last, driven to the brink by hunger and rage, the Outer God twisted its grotesque form and shot skyward.
From the center of its body, a sinister pitch-black light deeper and darker than the Abyss itself began to pour forth.
[Warning! The Tower’s Creator is activating higher-level authority.]
[Warning! Demiurge is forcibly manipulating the Main System code.]
“Director! The creature’s aura has changed! It’s not killing intent or mana—it’s something far more fundamental, and deeply unsettling!”
Yoo Yi-soo cried out, expanding her pitch-black aura barrier even thicker.
Yet the pitch-black light emanating from the Outer God passed through Yoo Yi-soo’s physical and magical defenses without resistance. It wasn’t energy at all—it was the wave of an ‘absolute rule’ that defined the very worldview of this Tower.
Ding—!
In that instant, system windows unlike any they had ever seen before materialized before Kang Jin-hyuk’s party, weeping crimson tears of blood.
[System Override: Creator Authority Activated.]
[Tower Management Regulation, Chapter 0, Article 1: Created beings cannot resist the Creator.]
[Command input complete. All mana circuits and skill usage of every ‘hostile organism’ within Floor 20 are hereby sealed.]
“What—what is this?!”
The Murim Alliance Elders were the first to sense the change.
“My… my inner energy! My dantian feels completely empty! I can’t gather any qi at all!”
The blue blade aura that had blazed from Namgoong Cheon’s sword extinguished like a snuffed candle. Gae Bang Bang-ju and the other elders struggled to draw upon their inner energy, but the meridians within their bodies were locked as if sealed by massive chains.
“Director! My spirit magic won’t activate! Water droplets won’t even form!”
“I-I can’t cast spells either! My mouth won’t move!”
Luna and Beris screamed, their faces drained of color. The pitch-black aura barrier Yoo Yi-soo had been maintaining shattered with a resonant crack, scattering into nothingness.
Even Ma Dong-tak, ranked second among all Hunters, felt the change ravage his body.
“Ugh…! My muscles… I have no strength! My adrenaline skill has been forcibly disabled!”
The rippling musculature of Ma Dong-tak, once hailed as the universe’s greatest tank, deflated like a punctured balloon. His superhuman strength had always been a ‘skill’ granted by the system itself, so before the Creator’s command to terminate, he was left with nothing but the fragile body of an ordinary human.
[All skills sealed. Sealing complete.]
[Targets are now in an equivalent state to ‘ordinary humans.’]
“Kha ha ha… Beasts no better than livestock. How dare you display your pathetic tricks before the Creator’s omnipotence.”
The Outer God Demiurge’s tens of thousands of eyes released a wave of mockery and ridicule in unison.
The Creator of the world called the Tower. He had rewritten the system’s legal code and reduced the party’s entire arsenal to zero. This was a true final boss unlike any entity they had faced before—an absolute tyranny that rewrote the very rules of the game itself.
They could still breathe and walk, but stripped of martial arts, magic, and Hunter skills, they were now nothing more than flies that would be crushed without a trace by a single tendril of the Outer God.
“It’s… it’s over. Without our martial arts, we are nothing but meat before that monster.”
“Aah… heavens above….”
The martial artists of the Murim Alliance collapsed in despair. Even Ma Dong-tak barely stood upright, using an iron rod as a cane, gritting his teeth.
In the grip of that colossal and vicious cosmic horror’s despair.
“Ha! This is absolutely ridiculous. There’s a limit to bullying.”
Only Kang Jin-hyuk, pushing his glasses up with a swipe, let out a scoff of exasperation.
“D-Director? You’re laughing now? All our skills have been sealed! We’re done for—we’ll just end up inside that worm’s belly being digested!”
Kim Chun-sam—the android was somewhat immune to skill sealing—cried out, his engine trembling.
“Digested? Forget it, Chun-sam. You didn’t read the System Message that just appeared properly.”
With both hands thrust into my pockets, I tapped the crimson system window floating in the air with my fingers.
“That parasitic bastard didn’t crush us with brute force. He’s just lacking in power, so he manipulated the Tower’s ‘Main System Code’ and tried to shut us down through administrative action. In other words, he touched the rules.”
My eyes flashed with golden light.
“But here’s the thing. This Tower’s system is like an obsessive-compulsive AI built to pursue perfect efficiency. No matter how much of a Creator he is, he can’t arbitrarily rewrite the absolute ‘laws and rules’ of the system he created without logical justification, right? If he could, he would’ve erased us from the start instead of bothering with commands like skill sealing.”
“W-what do you mean, Director?”
“Simple. If that bastard uses the law—the system—as a weapon, then we respond with law as well.”
I pulled out a small wireless terminal connected to ‘Mammon’s Golden Master Key’ from deep within my doctor’s bag—the one I’d inserted into Chun-sam’s core on Layer 19.
“Chun-sam! You still have 30 percent of Layer 19’s administrator authority, right?”
“Bwaaang! Yes! But my authority is subordinate, so I cannot nullify the Creator’s—the highest administrator’s—commands!”
“I’m not asking you to nullify anything. Just file a ‘complaint’ with the System Grievance Department exactly as I tell you. Type every word precisely as I say it.”
I began furiously tapping the keypad of the terminal with latex-gloved fingers. Simultaneously, a torrent of words poured from my mouth—devastatingly logical, ruthlessly medical sophistry.
“To: Tower Main System Management Bureau. From: Director Kang Jin-hyuk, Arcana Medical Center. The medical team is currently performing emergency parasitic removal surgery on a severe parasitic infection patient (Demiurge)!”
“W-what?! Director?! What do you mean—!”
“Keep typing! However, the patient himself is refusing the surgery and abusing system authority to confiscate the medical team’s scalpels—skills—and forcibly obstructing proper treatment! This constitutes a clear violation of ‘Medical Law Article 12 (Prohibition of Interference with Medical Technology)’ and constitutes ‘self-harm by the patient’ in refusing legitimate treatment and driving himself toward death!”
At my declaration, Yoo Yi-soo and Ma Dong-tak’s jaws dropped. A cosmic-scale battle against a monster had been repackaged as a ‘medical obstruction incident’—the kind of thing that happens when a troublesome patient causes a scene at a local clinic.
“Therefore, this medical team demands that the system grant surrogate consent on behalf of a guardian and forcibly execute surgery to prevent the patient’s self-harm and save his life! If the system continues to obstruct this reasonable treatment, we will regard it as clear ‘assault on medical personnel’ and ‘accessory to murder,’ and we will pursue damages against the entire system!”
Rat-a-tat-tat—!
Crack!
I slammed the Enter key with all my might. Through Mammon’s Master Key, the extraordinary ‘legal objection (complaint)’ filed by the unscrupulous director Kang Jin-hyuk was transmitted directly to the Tower’s central main server.
“….”
A strange silence fell across Floor 20. The Constellations, the martial artists, even Demiurge himself seemed at a loss for words in the face of Jin-hyuk’s absurd sophistry.
But then.
Whirrrrr—! Ding ding ding—!
The Tower’s system could not ignore Jin-hyuk’s logic. Instead, a fatal contradiction erupted within the system’s circuits, which had always pursued perfection.
[An ’emergency objection’ has been received from the Layer 19 subordinate administrator.]
[Reviewing complaint contents… reviewing….]
[Warning! A fatal logical collision has occurred between the Creator’s command (exclusion of hostile entities) and the medical staff’s assertion (saving patient lives).]
From the system’s perspective, Demiurge was simultaneously the ‘Creator,’ yet also a ‘patient’ with clear disease data displayed in the diagnostic window: [Giant tapeworm in a state of starvation].
According to the system’s regulations, any organism with disease data was a subject of treatment, and deliberately obstructing this constituted a contradiction against the Tower’s ecosystem maintenance protocols.
“Hah, hahahaha! Boss! What is this exhilarating message! The system is lagging!”
Ma Dong-tak clutched his belly and burst into laughter.
[Fatal error! Unable to resolve collision between superior and subordinate authority levels.]
[All forced system commands on Floor 20 (including skill seals) are temporarily suspended until a conclusion is reached.]
Fwoooosh—!
As the system window shifted from red to blue, the heavy locks that had been pressing down on Jin-hyuk’s party released with a crisp, liberating sound.
“Oh, ohhh! My inner energy has returned! My sword aura burns once more!”
“Magic incantations work again! Director! The skill seal is broken!”
A blue crescent moon surged forth from Namgoong Cheon’s blade, while a torrent of pitch-black aura exploded from Yi-soo’s heart. Ma Dong-tak’s shriveled muscles swelled to even greater proportions than before, his veins bulging as if ready to burst.
Giiiiieeeek—!!!
As his absolute command was halted by nothing more than a mortal’s ‘complaint filing,’ Demiurge unleashed a horrific shriek mingling panic and fury.
More critically, as the system crashed and froze, the code of ‘absolute defense (invincibility judgment)’ that had enveloped the Outer God’s body momentarily glitched and shut down.
The cosmic predator’s thick, grotesque skin—its seams opened infinitesimally yet fatally by the system error’s shockwave—revealed crimson blood vessels beneath.
In that singular moment of opportunity, the unscrupulous veterinarian would not miss the perfect surgical window.
“Director Ma! The patient’s anesthesia is working beautifully! Now that the skin has split open, coat that lever generously with dewormer and drive it straight into the blood vessels!”
“Hahahaha! I shall obey your orders, Director!”
Ma Dong-tak leaped like a beast, soaring into the air. He plunged his iron crowbar into the drum filled with the purple dewormer Jin-hyuk had prepared, then withdrew it.
Gripping the terrifying weapon dripping with deadly toxin, stomach acid, and freezing cold, Ma Dong-tak’s explosive strength—befitting his rank 2 position—tore through the very atmosphere.
“Hey there, you parasitic worm! Time for your meal!”
Ma Dong-tak unleashed a maniacal laugh as he mercilessly drove the iron crowbar, drenched in purple venom, into the deepest, most vulnerable flesh exposed within the Outer God Demiurge’s gaping seam.
The moment the most barbaric and certain ‘injection’ against a cosmic disease was administered.
