The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 059
20. Ghost Busters (2)
At that moment, the Kim Kim Duo.
From the monitor they were watching, only this sound continued to blare.
Boom.
Poof-boom.
Poof-boom-boom….
“What, what is this?! What’s happening right now!!”
“Uh….”
Manager Kim had no way of knowing what that was.
“Almond is being born and creating another Almond, and those Almonds are creating more Almonds….”
He could only describe what he saw.
“I know that already, damn it!! Why is Almond giving birth to more Almonds!?”
“That’s… we need to call the development team now….”
Poof-boom-boom.
Regardless, the clones continued to multiply.
Poof-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!
The acceleration was so tremendous that they multiplied like popcorn bursting.
“Wait, is this it? Did the clone technique get reflected and copied by Full Counter or something?! Huh?”
“It looks like it….”
Full Counter definitely seemed to have malfunctioned.
But there was no understanding why clones weren’t just appearing once, but multiplying like this repeatedly.
‘Is a clone using the clone technique being created?’
It seemed like a clone using the clone technique was being copied.
Even so, something was strange.
“Ugh, ugghhhhh! Why isn’t that Patriarch bastard attacking?! Why is he just standing there!? Huh? We need to get rid of him quickly!!”
If all the newly created clones were eliminated, this crisis could be stopped more easily than expected.
Besides, the Patriarch had that level of combat power.
Since clones died with just one attack, he could wipe them all out with the Patriarch’s unique area-of-effect skill.
Yet strangely, he remained motionless.
Manager Kim cautiously attempted to guess the reason.
“This… is this perhaps… like not attacking during transformation?”
“Are you joking, damn it! Is this Power Rangers!?”
Manager Kim only succeeded in angering Kim Gwajang.
In fact, this was due to frame drops. The processing load had suddenly increased so much that the system was slowing down momentarily. The slowdown was so severe it appeared almost frozen.
From a distance, observers could only see the large Patriarch’s lack of movement, unaware that everyone else was frozen as well.

* * *
There was one more person frozen in place.
Reality doesn’t have frames like a game does.
“…”
It was CEO Jeong from Ghost Busters Production Company.
He had spilled the coffee he’d been drinking to stay awake all night down his chin.
‘What… is this.’
It was a catastrophically destructive problem—entirely different from anything that had happened before.
A bug where clones infinitely duplicated themselves.
A duplication bug was the kind of thing that could send even a major gaming company’s blockbuster RPG straight to ruin. For a small indie game company like this, it was unthinkable.
This was an emergency.
He wanted to stop the broadcast at any cost.
But it had already spread to the community in real-time.
[Breaking News) South Korea’s Birth Rate Just Exploded!]
Posts with titles like this were stirring up the issue.
==== ====
(Video)
And only super handsome guys are being born lol
==== ====
-Wow! South Korea is making an insane comeback!
Hahaha, I’m dying laughing
What the heck is that lol
-Let’s send Almond to Congress!
-Birth rate explodes and the game explodes too lol
That’s crazy lol
-But what about the gender ratio lol
Korean guys are done for lol, they’re mass-producing super handsome men haha
Is this even a game lol
-What’s even happening??
The post rapidly accumulated recommendations and its ranking skyrocketed.
There wasn’t just one post like this.
[Cookie “Next Year’s International Tournament Roster Emergency Change.” Sudden Press Conference]
==== =====
(Video)
All 200 Players “Aamond” Entering the Competition!
==== ====
-Perfect victory incoming~
-Rome’s screwed, bring out your team!!
Hahahahaha
Haha, seriously
-LMAOOOOO
-She won with just one and now they’re talking about abolishing the international tournament LOLOLOL
-But if Almond has 200 copies… wouldn’t she actually lose? LOLOLOL
└Oh… LOLOLOL
└LOLOLOLOLOL
└FR how are you gonna control 200 braindead copies~ LOLOLOL
The CEO’s face was already contorted beyond recognition, but as always, the community users didn’t stop there.
[Being copied in real-time again]
==== ====
Which was none other than the Ghost Busters team’s overtime hours~
LOLOLOLOLOL
==== ====
-LOLOLOLOLOL
-FR LOLOLOL
-Just waiting for posts to go up on Allined LOLOLOL
-Most curious about the company people’s reactions LOLOLOL
-My hair’s gonna turn white from this
-The most successful yet most failed advertisement LOLOLOL
“These bastards…”
CEO Jeong, who had scrolled down to this point, pressed his forehead.
Thud.
A groan escaped from his clenched jaw.
“Ugh, uhhh…”
His stress levels had nearly reached their breaking point.
Finally unable to hold back, his voice cracked.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!”
CEO Jeong’s Phase 2 had begun.
He grabbed his phone and frantically began typing out messages in rapid succession.

* * *
“Ugh… damn it.”
Balloon Gum’s face turned pale.
“What’s happening here?”
Stutter… stutter….
As Almond multiplied infinitely, the game was practically grinding to a halt.
-This is insane lololol
-lololololol
-The ads are ruined lol
-How are we supposed to handle this lol
-How many Almonds are there anyway
The broadcast system was fine, but the game was stuttering so badly it was nearly unplayable.
‘No. Surely not.’
Balloon Gum felt uneasy.
After coming this far, would I have to start over?
If the game crashed like this, it was questionable whether the save would remain intact.
“Ah, you don’t think I have to restart, right?”
-Gasp
-For real lol
-Oh….
I’m crying / I’m so sad
-Surely not
-No way lol
The viewers were startled by this remark, but the Kim Kim Duo was even more shocked.
“!”
Of course.
Like seeing a single ray of light in pitch darkness, their eyes flew wide open.
“Insane. That’s it! This! This was our hope all along!”
Just as falling from the greatest height brings the most pain, a single ray of light shining in the deepest darkness could not be warmer.
Without hesitation, they high-fived each other.
Smack!
“That’s it! Keep multiplying! More!”
Kim Gwajang was now cheering on Almond’s reproduction.
“Yes! Just crash the game completely! One more ad break, come on!!”
The final spark of hope.
It burned brightly and shone with radiance.
The more Almond multiplied, the brighter it shone.
Whoooosh!
“!”
Yet the game only grew slower and slower.
The Kim Kim Duo desperately hoped this flame would incinerate the entire game.
They wished for it to devour everything.
However, it was merely a death flash.
The phenomenon of a flame burning brightly one last time before it vanishes.
‘?’
Poof….
Naturally, the limit to how many clones could be generated was when they filled this entire space.
“….”
This absurd phenomenon had been stopped by an utterly mundane wall.
It was infuriating.
Given everything they’d already endured, the Kim Kim Duo couldn’t simply accept this inevitable fact.
“Uh….”
“…Uh…?”
Now there was nothing left to say.
As if they’d lost the ability to speak, sounds spilled from their mouths, but they couldn’t form sentences.
“Uh….”
“Uh.”
Only babbling sounds repeated endlessly.
After the final clone filled the remaining space.
Only then could Almond move again.
“Huh? I can move.”
As Almond swung his arm smoothly while saying this.
The game began running smoothly once more.
Conversely, the Kim Kim Duo’s world stuttered and froze.
Yet, until the very end, Manager Kim desperately opened his mouth, grasping at hope one more time.
He shook his head vigorously to regain his senses and shouted.
“Wait! This… This! Wasn’t this a Patriarch Yokai type just now!?”
“Y-Yes! The damage was… Huh? When exactly….”
[Evil Patriarch – Thought Entity]
Kim Gwajang’s world stopped.
‘What?’
Despairingly enough, the Evil Patriarch had become a Thought Entity type.
Even though Balloon Gum’s rapid-fire pressure bullets hadn’t been counted as damage, the accumulated collision damage from constantly changing positions had caused the type to shift.
And of all things, it became a Thought Entity.
When the Shaman was already filling the entire map.
“…W-What… Why did it change?”
To Kim Gwajang’s voice, drowning in despair, Manager Kim hastily added.
“I-It’s fine!”
“?”
“Once Almond attacks, the type will change right away! These clones are just numerous in quantity! They’re meaningless!”
Exactly. If the Patriarch takes a hit from Almond and changes types, all these countless clones become meaningless.
“One area-of-effect skill in that window. Just once!”
A clone disappears from just a single hit.
Whether the Patriarch shifts to Yokai or Demon type and unleashes an area-of-effect skill, all these clones would vanish.
“!”
Kim Gwajang’s world began moving again.
Right, this might have been a simpler situation than expected.
“Oh, so that’s it?! If Almond tries to strike with his sword, he’d need time to hit all those numbers anyway!”
“Exactly. Once he takes a few hits, he’ll switch types right away! Then it’s all useless!”
Their reasoning was sound.
Perfectly logical and correct judgment.
But there was a problem with such logical and correct judgment.
The opponent was thinking the exact same thing.

* * *
Almond focused his mind.
‘I think I’ve found the angle.’
He sensed it instinctively.
The perfect angle to end this had emerged.
‘First, create distance.’
Following his will, countless Almonds retreated backward in unison.
With this many clones, control had become sluggish.
Boom!
Boom-boom!
Meanwhile, the Patriarch thrashed about and eliminated a few more clones.
But that level of damage meant little to the Almonds filling this entire space.
‘And conveniently, he’s a Thought Entity.’
[Evil Patriarch – Thought Entity]
The Patriarch was currently in Thought Entity form.
This was the perfect opportunity.
A single chance.
‘With this….’
Almond drew a talisman.
Then every single Almond raised their talismans in unison.
This simple motion rippled outward like a wave, unleashing the overwhelming force of an entire army.
Crash!!!
lol
-???: I am… a legion.
Haha lol
Almond squad lol
Countless talismans gleamed with light in their own distinct colors.
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
Spiritual energy was beginning to infuse them.
“Graaaaaaaaaah!”
The Patriarch of evil, Jinmyeongsu.
As if he sensed the end of this catastrophe, he unleashed demonic energy wildly, but.
Still, it only eliminated a small fraction of the Almonds.
The original, the true Almond, closed his eyes and concentrated with a deep breath.
I had to gather everything into a single strike.
‘I can’t give him a chance to react.’
All of this in one timing.
Within a single frame.
I couldn’t give the enemy time to respond.
Exhale.
Almond’s eyes opened as he released his breath.
He initiated the attack.
“Keon Wang.”
After this, countless Almonds shouted in unison.
“”Chiki-cha!””
Whoooooosh──
The five-colored lines drawn by countless talismans connected to the Patriarch.
-Wow
-Kyaa
-ak47 bankruptcy
-Is this really ending???
-Insane lol
Haha, pfft lol
-Ohhhhh lmao
It won’t work ㅠㅠㅠ
