Chapter 88
Screeeech—!
CRASH—!!!
The Outer God Demiurge’s colossal form, which had thrust more than half its body through the Dimensional Gap, suddenly froze in mid-air as if caught in an invisible, massive snare.
“Where do you think you’re running! Fifty percent of my debt is flying away over there! SCREEEECH—!!!”
The first to sink his teeth into the Outer God’s tail—its tentacle—was the fire dragon Balakas.
With his enormous jaws cradling thousands of degrees of hellfire, he clamped down hard on the Outer God’s thick tentacle, then beat his wings frantically backward, beginning to drag the creature out of the dimensional swamp.
It was a desperate resolve to finally settle the humiliation of being treated like a pet lizard in the heart of Gangnam as payment for the Zeus Guild’s office building debt.
“Lord! Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from this vicious compound interest! Holy Chain!”
The Archangel Zeruel blazed with brilliant radiance as he unfurled hundreds of massive golden chains into the air. The sacred chains of the Heavenly Realm coiled tightly around the Outer God’s writhing form, securing it tautly to the thick marble pillars of Floor 20.
“Kekekek! It tastes like rotten squid, but if you’ll forgive my debt, I’ll chew it down to the bone! Gluttony Swamp!”
The Gluttony King Beelzebub and the Four Demon Kings clung to the Outer God’s body, literally tearing away chunks of flesh that had been dissolved by Jin-hyuk’s ultimate parasite exterminator.
SHRIEEEEEEK—!!!
The Outer God Demiurge, the Tower’s Creator and the universe’s predator, writhed and screamed in overwhelming terror and agony unlike anything it had ever experienced.
It could not comprehend. These beings attacking it were clearly cosmic entities of equal or superior caliber to itself.
Yet why were their eyes so bloodshot, why did they cling so desperately like a pack of starving wild dogs? What was this manic driving force that moved them?
“Kahahaha! Patient! The debt collectors are chasing you down fiercely—where are you running to! Just lie quietly on the operating table!”
Ma Dong-tak swung an iron pry bar at the Outer God’s remaining eyes, laughing wildly. The Murim Alliance masters, led by Namgoong Cheon, also pushed their inner energy to its limits, methodically severing only the tentacle joints.
The mightiest dragon in the entire universe, an angel, demon kings, the second-ranked Hunter, and the absolute masters of the Murim.
This shocking combination that could never gather in one place was now exhibiting perfect teamwork for a single, disturbingly mundane purpose: “debt forgiveness from Arcana Medical Center.” Before their fierce collective physical assault, the Outer God’s dimensional leap protocol shattered into pieces.
[Warning! The host’s Creator is sustaining critical physical and magical damage.]
[Dimensional leap forcibly cancelled. Bound to the highest level of Floor 20.]
CRASH—!!!
Unable to overcome the overwhelming pulling force of Balakas and Zeruel, Demiurge’s colossal form was completely wrenched from the Dimensional Gap and hurled onto the shattered marble floor of Floor 20.
“Grrr! Director Kang! I bit this creature’s tail first! You promised to forgive fifty percent of my debt, right!”
Balakas pinned the Outer God’s torso with his front claws and snorted toward Jin-hyuk.
“Hallelujah! Director! Sign the full interest waiver documents right now! This is our chance for the Heavenly Realm’s budget to turn a profit!”
Zeruel also shook the Outer God’s bodily fluids from his wings and cried out urgently. The demon kings and martial artists likewise gazed desperately at Jin-hyuk’s lips while catching their breath.
“Ah, everyone! Calm down, please! The patient’s still breathing! I’ll process the payment cleanly after discharge procedures, so for now, press down hard and step back!”
Jin-hyuk pulled on latex gloves tightly and strode toward the Outer God’s massive form sprawled across the floor.
Wheeze… wheeze….
The Outer God embedded in the floor was already a mangled wreck. The “ultimate parasite exterminator” Jin-hyuk had injected coursed through its blood vessels, dissolving its internal organs into a mess, and the overwhelming assault from the debtor coalition had shattered all of its thick armor plating.
Yet from the Outer God’s core, ominous and tremendous mana still pulsed like a heartbeat—thump, thump.
[Diagnosis: Giant tapeworm in terminal death throes preparing self-destruct sequence.]
[The patient is attempting to trigger a nerve cluster overload and simultaneous dimensional self-destruction.]
“Luna! Bring me my surgical bone saw and the largest laser scalpel!”
“Yes, Director! Here it is!”
Luna quickly approached and placed the menacingly large surgical instruments into Jin-hyuk’s hands.
“Director. Enormous energy is condensing inside the creature’s body! If we touch it carelessly, an explosion might occur that could blow the entire Tower apart!”
Yoo Yi-soo wrapped a defensive barrier of pitch-black aura—power derived from the cores obtained from the demon kings—around Jin-hyuk while warning him. Balakas and Zeruel also sensed the self-destruct aura emanating from the creature’s core and instinctively stepped back.
But Jin-hyeok’s expression was colder and more professional than ever. He pushed his glasses up with a swift motion, his gaze sharp and piercing as it fixed upon the Outer God’s grotesque central mass.
“Do you know what’s most terrifying about parasites, especially tapeworms? Even if you slice their bodies into hundreds of pieces, as long as the scolex—the nerve ganglion attached to their head—remains intact, they’ll regenerate and continue draining their host’s nutrients.”
As Jin-hyeok activated the laser scalpel, a blue blade hummed to life with an eerie, chilling glow.
“This creature is no different. It’s feigning self-destruction right now, but in reality, it’s planning to abandon its entire body and eject only the main core hidden in this central mass through the Dimensional Gap to escape. We can’t allow that. That core is the ultimate infinite power generator that runs this massive hospital building—The Tower.”
“D-Director! You’re not seriously planning to extract that mad bomb raw, are you?!”
Chun-sam cried out in horror and reversed the engine, but Jin-hyeok had already leaped onto the Outer God’s writhing flesh.
“Ma Dong-tak! Elders! Break all its joints so it can’t wield its tentacles—hold it down for just ten seconds! Beginning surgery!”
“Roger that! Debtors! If you want your debts forgiven, press down hard on that body!”
At Ma Dong-tak’s roar, the Demon Kings, Angels, and martial artists clenched their teeth once more and crushed the Outer God’s remaining tentacles against the floor.
Kiiiiieeeek—!!!
The Outer God shrieked in agony and thrashed about, but it couldn’t break free from its restraints.
Meanwhile, Jin-hyeok positioned himself directly above the Outer God’s heart—a massive core swelling with crimson light, radiating the brilliance of self-destruction. Golden system windows overlaid his pupils. Instantly, a perfect anatomical diagram of the Outer God’s complex internal blood vessels and mana circuits materialized before him.
“The fundamental principle of tumor extraction is to perfectly ligate the main blood vessels that supply nutrients to the cancer cells.”
Whoooosh—!
Jin-hyeok’s hands moved at invisible speed.
The laser scalpel split through the Outer God’s thick muscular layers like slicing tofu, and within, a house-sized pulsating crimson core came into view. Hundreds of thick blood vessels—mana circuits—were connected to its surface, overloading it with energy.
“Vascular resection and nerve severance!”
Ssshhk! Ssshhk-crack!
Jin-hyeok’s blade moved with absolute precision, cleanly severing only the critical mana circuits connecting the core to the main body. The flow of mana being drawn upward for the self-destruction sequence suddenly stuttered and dispersed into the void.
[Warning! Demiurge’s main core connection has been severed.]
[Self-destruction sequence forcibly halted.]
“Kahahaha! See? Even self-destruction can’t happen in the face of a blade!”
Jin-hyeok raised the bone saw and, with one final motion, spun the blade ferociously toward the thickest central spinal cord still supporting the core.
Whiiiiiing—!
Crack!
Crack-snap!
With the horrific sound of bone and nerve being torn away, the Tower’s Creator’s final death cry—long suppressed—shook all of Floor 20.
“Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!”
And then, with a soft thud.
The house-sized crimson core finally separated completely from the Outer God’s filthy flesh and rolled to the ground at Jin-hyeok’s feet.
[Item obtained: ‘Outer God’s Main Core (Heart of The Tower)’.]
[The Tower’s Creator ‘Demiurge’ has completely ceased all life functions.]
The Outer God’s massive husk, now devoid of its core, shriveled like a deflated balloon before transforming into pale ash that scattered into the air. It was the meaningless and perfect annihilation of a cosmic parasite that had created The Tower and butchered countless heroes for millennia.
“Oh, ooooh! It’s over! The monster is dead!”
“We won! We defeated the Creator!”
Gae Bang Bang-ju and the martial artists embraced one another and erupted in cheers.
Balakas and Zeruel, along with the Demon Kings, breathed heavily yet smiled with joy. The happiness of protecting world peace? No, that wasn’t it.
Their minds held only one thought: ‘At last, we’ve escaped from the suffocating quagmire of debt.’
“Haha! Director! Magnificent technique! You extracted that parasite’s head so cleanly!”
Ma Dong-tak approached with a thumbs-up. Jin-hyeok wiped the sweat from his brow and shoved the Outer God’s core—far larger than his own body—into his inventory.
Beris, who had been trembling in the corner, suddenly pulled out a thick ledger and began calculating their debt forgiveness at the speed of light.
“Thank you all for your hard work. Director Ma, esteemed elders, and you debt collectors over there as well. As promised, I’ll process the complete interest waiver and 50 percent principal reduction with clean documentation once we return to the hospital.”
“Ohhhhh! Praise be to our god greater than all gods! Director, our savior! Long live merciful capitalism!”
Zeruel wept and made the sign of the cross toward me instead of toward a crucifix, praying fervently, while Balakas wagged his tail and spewed flames of joy.
But that victorious elation lasted less than ten seconds.
Kuguguguguung—!!!!
Screeeech—!
Suddenly, beyond the collapsed space of Floor 20, a spine-chilling vibration erupted, and the entire Tower began to scream.
“W-Wait, Director! What is this tremor now! The monster is dead, so why is the Tower shaking like this!”
Namgoong Cheon cried out urgently, struggling to maintain his footing.
My vision flooded with crimson error messages cascading like a waterfall across empty space.
[Critical Error! The host’s main core has been lost.]
[Power source depleted. The spatial and physical laws maintaining the Tower are collapsing.]
[Collapse sequence initiated. The entire Tower will plummet into the Dimensional Gap and be completely annihilated in 10 minutes.]
“Ah, damn. Pulled out the parasite’s head, and now the house the parasite built is crumbling too.”
I clicked my tongue. The Outer God was dead, but with the massive power source that had anchored this colossal Tower to a corner of the universe gone, the structure itself lost gravity and began free-falling into the endless obsidian Dimensional Gap.
“Arghhhh! Director Kang! What is this! We paid off all our debts—are you saying we’ll die as cosmic drifters here!”
“Save us! Please, open a Gate for us!”
The Constellations and Murim practitioners descended into panic, screaming in despair. Balakas and the Angels spread their wings in alarm, but no spatial teleportation magic could function within the collapsing dimensional storm.
“Who said anyone’s dying? Do you think I climbed this Tower with such difficulty just to destroy this prime piece of real estate?”
I turned around, my expression twisted into a wickedly composed smile despite the chaos.
“Chun-sam! You filled the engine with that Constellation mana fat pool earlier, right! Still got plenty of output!”
“Buooooong! Master! Right now I’m overflowing with enough mana to power ten spaceships! I feel like I’m about to explode any second!”
“Don’t explode! Right now, pull that Tower’s heart—the crimson core—from my inventory and connect it directly to your main board!”
“Huh?! You want me to jam that monster’s heart into my body?! What if I go insane again from a virus infection!”
“I just severed all the neural connections and completed perfect sterilization! No more talking—just plug it in! And reverse-flow the Layer 19 Administrator authority you absorbed at 100 percent to hack the entire main system of this collapsing Tower!”
Yoo Yi-soo and Ma Dong-tak’s eyes widened at my outrageous idea.
This wasn’t about destroying the Tower and escaping. I was going to kill the Creator and forcibly transplant Kim Chun-sam’s core—the AI Director of Arcana Medical Center—into the now-empty Tower’s shell, merging the entire structure into ‘hospital ownership’ through hostile acquisition.
“Uaaahhhhh! Fine! I’ll do it! System infiltration! Hostile acquisition initiated!”
Chun-sam forcibly shoved the colossal Outer God’s core into his own chest cavity.
Flaaaaash—!!!!
In that instant, Chun-sam’s blue visor and the crimson core fused, and a tremendous flash of light consumed all of Floor 20.
[Unregistered external OS (Kim Chun-sam) has accessed the main server.]
[The existing Creator’s core has been initialized. New Administrator authority is approved.]
[Collapse sequence halted. Spatial coordinates and physical law control transferred to ‘Arcana Medical Center’.]
Kuung—!
The Tower’s terrifying descent suddenly stopped in an instant. The crumbling ceiling and marble floors began to reverse-reconstruct themselves, and all the system windows spewing cyan errors transformed into Arcana Hospital’s signature clean golden interface.
“Hahahaha! Success, Master! This massive structure—no, this dimensional fortress is now under my complete control! I am the new owner of this Tower, no, its Administrator!”
Chun-sam raised both arms in triumphant celebration.
“Excellent work, Chun-sam. I’ve confirmed the building’s structure is sound, so there’s no need to drift uselessly in the Dimensional Gap anymore.”
I brushed the dust from my disheveled doctor’s coat and approached the main control panel of Floor 20. With authority now in my grasp, I placed my hand upon the gleaming surface and declared in the most arrogant and resolute voice imaginable.
“This cosmic journey ends here. We’re going home.”
I manipulated the dimensional coordinates with ferocious intensity.
“Kim Chun-sam, activate navigation. Dimensional jump engine at full capacity. Destination: the center of the front courtyard of that cramped hospital we used to work at in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. This colossal dimensional medical complex is making its grand opening on Earth!”
[Initiating dimensional jump to destination ‘Earth—Seoul, South Korea’.]
Kuuuuuuuung—!!!!
With my brazen and grandiose capitalist declaration, the ultra-massive Tower—now with a new master—tore through the cosmic abyss and transformed into a dazzling pillar of light, descending toward Earth.
