Chapter 171: Live Show
He had expected this.
Vincent Moretti would also know that information agents had infiltrated Cairo.
And that he was being tracked due to the failure of the Gurye experiment.
It was one of two things.
Either he had already fled, or he was preparing some kind of response.
It wasn’t escape.
He had finally gone ahead and done something.
Tae-ju had also prepared for any contingency by filling his Infinite Space with various throwing weapons and black iron ingots.
The number alone was a whopping 100,000 pieces.
What was coming out of that massive Mirror Gate was definitely not demonic beasts.
Strange creatures that seemed to have been living in some unknown dimension.
‘I can see quite a few Beyond Elite level ones too…’
The Beyond Elite demonic beast Black Demon Dragon he had encountered in the old China.
Several monsters with almost identical auras to that creature.
Besides that, there were countless others stronger than Ilisambaeyi’s main body.
‘Good thing I didn’t bring him along.’
Both Ilisambaeyi and the Awakened Guards or military – could they even stop these?
Not even close.
A single large one would instantly slaughter an army armed with modern weapons.
Where the hell did these things come from?
Anyway, it was definitely that bastard Vincent who opened it.
Is that bastard some kind of Dimensional Gate specialist?
Let’s deal with that thing first.
The tower that emerged from Underground.
Swoosh!
Black iron ingots poured out from the Infinite Space.
Crack crack crack crack!
A torrent of black iron transformed into a massive stream and struck the base of the tower.
Crash crash crash! Crash!
The steel framework supporting the tower’s foundation was eaten away by the throwing weapons.
Tilt.
The massive tower toppled over.
However, the gate still hadn’t disappeared.
Rather, even more monsters emerged through the gate.
‘The Swordsman is…’
Swish! Swish swish swish!
A spectacular flying sword show unfolding from ground and sky, east west north south.
Roughly counting, over 5,000 energy swords each performed separate techniques, slashing and stabbing the monsters.
‘He’s doing well.’
The Immortal of swords.
No matter how much they’re monsters from another dimension, how could they handle the power of a god?
* * *
Vincent Moretti had hoped Kim Tae-ju wouldn’t come.
Because if that guy came near his hideout, he would eventually have to open the forbidden door.
Then Earth’s destruction would be unavoidable.
Random Dimensional Gate.
Only the name was random.
It was a copy of the Dimensional Gate Generator made by Jacques Deluane, the same soul from another world.
In other words, a fixed Dimensional Gate with a specified location.
Actually, there were some differences from Jacques Deluane’s version.
The energy source for his generator was a genuine Dragon Heart.
Meanwhile, the energy source for his own generator was fake Dragon Hearts made by compressing Elite mana crystals.
Jacques Deluane’s gate lasted almost a week, but he didn’t know how long his own gate would last.
‘If only I had Beyond Elite mana crystals.’
I could maintain the gate for at least 5 days.
When the gate opens, nightmares unfold.
Those terrifying creatures that destroyed the world where Jacques lived would come bursting out.
That other world didn’t contain only intelligent beings.
Mindless monsters far more terrible than demonic beasts, with whom communication was impossible and only destructive instincts remained.
Creatures, that is, life forms.
This was the only way to describe them.
They were predators.
They devoured everything.
Even the power of magic and magical engineering couldn’t stop those creatures, and eventually the world turned into an apocalypse.
‘Once it opens, no living beings will survive on Earth.’
Absolutely unstoppable.
Even pouring nuclear weapons on them would be useless.
When even 9th Class mages from that other world joining forces to cast Meteor Strike couldn’t stop those creatures.
Once opened, it’s over.
Earth will become like Jacques Deluane’s world.
Apocalypse, hell on earth.
That’s why he hoped that guy wouldn’t come.
Wasn’t he fundamentally an Earthling too?
There were still many things to experiment with.
But.
‘…He came after all.’
A human captured by the reconnaissance lizard golem.
It was Kim Tae-ju.
He had even brought along an Old Man.
‘You brought this upon yourself. Don’t blame me.’
Vincent Moretti activated the Dimensional Gate Generator.
Out of 8 Fake Dragon Hearts, he left only one and put 7 as energy sources.
Whirrrrrrr!
A tower rose from the Underground Bunker.
Whoooooosh!
The energy shot from the tower created a massive Mirror Gate.
And the terrifying creatures revealed themselves.
‘It’s over.’
Vincent Moretti watched the beginning of Earth’s destruction with mixed feelings.
The reconnaissance Drone focused on Kim Tae-ju.
‘Now, what will you do?’
Is there anything he can do?
At most…
‘I knew it.’
He’d destroy the tower first.
But it’s useless.
The gate was already open.
Also, this connection had opened a path.
‘It’s like making a pinhole in a massive dam.’
So even if it closes, there’s a high possibility it will open again.
Even without artificially connecting it.
Jacques Deluane’s world was the same way.
But then?
“Gasp!”
Vincent was shocked.
He knew the Tower would be destroyed.
‘That easily?’
The black metal mass shooting from his hands.
It moved like a swarm of bees and brought down the Tower’s base in one strike.
“Cr-crazy!”
Kim Tae-ju, Kim Tae-ju, they kept saying.
The strongest beings from dimensions he knew.
He had guessed that guy’s level would be around a 9th Class Mage or Sword Kaiser.
But even that was…
‘An underestimation.’
Kim Tae-ju, who had destroyed the Tower, now attacked the creatures.
The result was no different.
They melted away like ice cream.
It was truly terrifying.
“…Wh-what?”
He was killing the terrifying monsters that had destroyed an entire dimension far too easily.
Could that person truly be called human?
‘No, he’ll die anyway.’
The creatures would come out endlessly, and Kim Tae-ju was just one person.
He acknowledged his power, but he absolutely couldn’t handle it alone.
Suddenly!
A thought that came to mind.
Come to think of it, Kim Tae-ju didn’t come alone.
He came with one Old Man.
What happened to that guy?
So he turned the head of the Reconnaissance Drone Lizard.
“…Huh?”
Vincent doubted his eyes.
“…Th-this can’t be.”
Was he seeing this correctly?

The modern era is the age of personal broadcasting.
While short videos that compress long content into 30 seconds or 1 minute are trending, live videos where celebrities mainly show their daily lives are also very popular.
Swiping the screen with one finger, watching if it’s interesting, otherwise skipping.
In the midst of this, someone’s live broadcast grew big.
It started small.
One viewer entered the channel.
– YourBoyfriendLeft has entered the channel.
At first, no chat messages appeared.
Only after a while.
└ Hey? What is this?
The horrific creatures revealed on the live screen.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
And thousands of light swords cutting through them like slicing tofu.
Soon another person entered.
– GayGayYa has entered the channel.
└ Huh? Is this movie filming?
└ Well, the location info shows Sahara Monster Concentration Area.
This time three people at once.
└ ?
└ ??
└ Are these monsters?
└ No way?
Shortly after.
Viewers started entering in lines.
– user1475 has entered the channel.
– GoldCardLover has entered the channel.
– AuroraBoomer has entered the channel.
– WhatToDoVacuum has entered the channel.
– user8878545 has entered the channel.
.
.
.
└ Wow! Is this a video with special effects?
└ The quality is too high for manipulation.
└ How could this be manipulation? It’s live, you idiot!
└ ????
└ Oh my god!
└ Who’s filming this?
└ Dongbin?
└ What’s this room’s name?
Even movie filming couldn’t be shot like this.
The feeling of standing in the middle of a massive battlefield.
iGear Phone.
The smartphone flew around like a drone.
Soaring up to the sky for distant shots, entering the middle of the battlefield for close-ups, or from behind the Swordsman’s back.
The chat window exploded.
Messages scrolled up at a speed too fast to read with the eyes.
But who was the subject of the broadcast?
It was the Swordsman.
Dynamic vision that no one could match.
Even as the smartphone flew around with the iGear Phone, he was communicating with his viewers through Thousand-Li Hearing and Golden Eye Technique.
“Hehe, user32569, welcome. AuroraBoomer has also entered, PeekaBoo, BigShot, MZMinji, kimws, SoloModest, RedPig…”
He rattled off the nicknames of entering people like rapping.
He didn’t forget to answer questions either.
Using Thousand-Li Hearing, he sent his voice carried by energy to the smartphone’s microphone part.
“This isn’t movie filming. It’s a real situation.”
“This is the Southwest Sahara Monster Concentration Zone, where that gate-like thing suddenly opened and demons are pouring out.”
“Hey, calling it manipulation is too harsh. If you can’t believe it, then leave.”
“Proof? Just come here directly and see for yourself.”
That it wasn’t manipulation was quickly revealed.
Among the viewers were Awakened Guards who were in Cairo Outpost City, Egypt.
Awakened Guards and Suitable Ones got into Raid-Specialized Armored SUVs and drove toward the southwest direction of the Sahara.
Then they saw the giant Mirror Gate visible far in the sky.
“Ah….”
“Cr, crazy?”
“It was real?”
But they couldn’t get close.
How do you even get there?
Verification photos and videos were uploaded to SNS.
Thanks to this, the viewers of the Swordsman’s live broadcast exploded in number.
Ding, ding, ding, ding….
Donations poured in as well.
“Oh my, thank you for the donation, GoldCardLover. FunnyNot donated 100,000 won, huk…! MiddleAgedHighSchoolGirl donated 1 million won? Hehehe, as a token of gratitude, I shall show you the Gigear Sword dance.”
The 100 swords of strong energy stopped slicing creatures and began to wiggle in a dance.
On one side, mercilessly slaughtering monsters, and on the other side, sword dancing.
The viewers went wild over content they had never encountered before in their lives.
* * *
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The throwing weapons that escaped from Tae-ju’s Infinite Space formed clouds.
And fell like rain.
‘Monsters from another dimension?’
Then would they have resistance to Earth’s poison?
Of course, the throwing weapons would need to pierce their bodies first.
The monsters’ skin looked as hard as iron armor at first glance.
But.
Thunk thunk thunk! Thunk thunk thunk thunk!
They pierced easily.
Well, it would be more ridiculous if throwing weapons imbued with immortal energy and strong energy couldn’t pierce that much.
And toxic energy was injected.
The toxic energy created by Toxic Spirit was active.
It automatically combined into toxic components optimized for the monsters.
Thunk thunk thunk thunk!
“Kreeeeek!”
A flying monster twisted its body in mid-air and fell down.
“Gwaaaaek!”
A monster crawling on the ground rolled around on the floor and melted.
Tae-ju’s throwing weapons flew not only toward the monsters but also toward the super-large Mirror Gate.
Some toward the monsters.
Others as direct attacks on the gate.
The monster corpses disappeared in an instant.
Falling, collapsing, melting, turning to dust and scattering….
Suddenly!
“Hm?”
Tae-ju’s eyes caught sight of numerous monsters changing course toward Cairo Outpost City.
“These bastards….”
If even one of those bastards entered the city, unimaginably massive casualties would occur.
More troops were needed.
He had to block the monsters that were leaking through.
Tae-ju pulled out all of Jecheon Daeseong’s fur from his Infinite Space.
Grabbing a handful and scattering it, then scattering more, and more….
Pop! Pop! Pop pop pop! Pop pop pop pop!
Countless clone monkeys appeared in the Sahara Desert Grassland.
“Ook!”
“Ookgik?”
“Ookook!”
“Kirik?”
And the first division began.
Shaking their bodies created clones, then shaking again to make more clones.
Pop pop pop! Pop pop pop pop! Pop pop pop pop pop!
Everything was brilliant golden light.
Dazzling to the eyes.
‘Could you handle the monsters leaking over there? The rest help the Swordsman.’
Pop!
The clones all rushed out at once, raising clouds of dust.
“Ookigigigigit!!”
Rumble rumble rumble.
The massive clone army ruthlessly charged into the monster hordes on the ground.
Crash crash crash crash crash!
The monsters were sent flying into the air.
Their bodies were torn apart by the combined attacks of the Jecheon Daeseong clones.
The Swordsman was excited.
As expected of Kim Tae-ju.
Just when things were getting boring, he provided new content like this.
“More content indeed.”
When would those cunning demon king Jecheon Daeseong’s smelly fur ball bastards be this welcome.
Whirrrrr!
The smartphone moving with Gigear Phone chased after the golden monkeys.
Thus, a swarm of golden monkeys appeared on the live screen.
How could anyone resist watching this?
└ Ookigik! Charge!
└ The monkeys are here!!!
└ Let’s go!!!
└ This is real. Real.
└ Isn’t this really Jecheon Daeseong appearing on Earth?
└ Hmm, there are more than last time.
└ Fuck, what are you doing? Send donations!
└ Just broke my savings account. Definitely sending.
Ding, ding, ding….
The donation notification sounds kept ringing.
“It’s a hit, a hit!”
Ahhh.
The Swordsman’s heart swelled with emotion.
Even if he returned to the Immortal Realm right now, he would have no regrets.
Who created such a stage?
Wasn’t it that guy Vincent Moretti.
How should he repay him?
He could kill him gently when the time came.
That would be sufficient.
Tae-ju was amazed.
Manceon Hwau was a martial art that consumed enormous amounts of true energy.
So he was a bit tired.
He had deployed it while consuming poison and Seondo from his Infinite Space.
But the Swordsman?
Look at that inexhaustible immortal energy.
He was truly befitting of the Immortal Realm’s strongest.
That person was a true immortal.
Anyway, once the Monkey clones joined the battle, things became a bit easier.
The monsters still poured out endlessly like a flood from the Mirror Gate.
The root cause had to be eliminated.
That gate.
Wooooong!
Immortal energy boiling up from within his body.
After eating the Heavenly Peach, the nature of Toxic Spirit seemed to have changed.
It would be appropriate to call it Immortal Spirit now.
Over 100,000 hidden weapons filled with immortal energy struck the Mirror Gate.
Clang clang clang! Clang clang clang clang! Clang clang!
Wooooooong.
The Mirror Gate began to shake violently.
Tae-ju didn’t stop.
He poured out his immortal energy.
That thing had to be broken for this chaos to end.
The reason he could do this.
It was because of the Swordsman.
He didn’t know how long that gate would last, but what if it went beyond a day?
‘I would have either fled or died here.’
It was good that he came with the Swordsman.
It was extremely fortunate.
Crack.
A thin crack appeared in the Mirror Gate.
