Chapter 215: Things Keep Getting Bigger
Hwansu Realm.
Mi-ho Seon-ja let out another deep sigh.
“No, you can’t do that? Are you really a spirit beast?”
“Meow.”
“You have enough energy… Is it because you’re still young?”
“Meow!”
“Don’t make excuses about your age.”
“Meooow…”
An ability commonly shared by spirit beasts and divine beasts.
The art of transforming into human form.
It’s something that’s basically acquired when one ascends to the Hwansu Realm through arduous training.
But this one could only transform from a cat to Baekho, and from Baekho to a giant three-headed tiger, unable to change its body into human form.
“You need to be more desperate.”
“Meow?”
“Don’t you know how great it is to become human? We can do everything those guys can do. We can even live secretly pretending to be human…”
“Meooow?”
“Transform to steal livers? Do you want to die? Nine-tailed foxes that steal human livers can’t even come here.”
“Meow meow.”
“Fine. I’ll accept your apology, so concentrate and try once more.”
“Meow!”
Ilisambaeyi raised its tail high.
It had learned a lot during this time.
Transformation was something it had always done, wasn’t it?
Though it couldn’t transform into a human.
Moving the energy inside while imagining the human form it wanted to become.
Poof!
“Meow!”
It worked.
Front paws became hands, hind legs became legs.
Though it was a tiny body, it was definitely human.
However,
“Oh my!”
Mi-ho Seon-ja’s eyes widened in shock.
It had succeeded in humanization, and she could understand that it transformed into a child’s form because it was still young…
“Th-three heads?”
In other words, a three-headed human, a three-headed child.
“Oh my, oh my, what do I do about this.”
She needed to stay calm.
There must have been a mistake.
“Try transforming once more.”
“Meow!”
Poof!
“…”
It was the same.
Three necks above the shoulders.
“A-again, try again.”
Poof!
“K-keep going.”
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof…
Mi-ho Seon-ja broke out in cold sweat.
This was a disaster.
No matter how many times it transformed, nothing changed.
A three-headed child.
How could she fix this?
“…Cancel the transformation.”
“Meow.”
Poof!
“You must never transform in front of Kim Tae-ju. And today’s events are absolutely secret.”
“Meow?”
“No, just don’t even dream of transforming. Live for about a hundred more years and when you get older…”
That’s when it happened.
“Ilbaek!”
This voice?
“Meooooow!”
Ilisambaeyi quickly ran over and jumped into Tae-ju’s arms.
“Did you have fun playing?”
“Meow!”
“Nothing happened?”
“Meooow.”
“Ah! You learned a lot from Mi-ho? What did you learn?”
Ilisambaeyi and Mi-ho Seon-ja’s eyes met.
Miho desperately shook her head.
“Me-meow!”
“Aha, you trained and got stronger? That’s good.”
Tae-ju expressed his gratitude to Miho.
“Mi-ho, thank you for teaching and taking care of our Ilisambaeyi.”
“Um, th-that, yes yes.”
“Is there anything you need?”
“N-no! Nothing. I’m f-fine.”
“Really? Let me know anytime if you think of something.”
“…Yes.”
He had found Ilisambaeyi too,
Should he head back now?
He didn’t know what those two were doing.
He should take him along and have him greet the Immortals.
* * *
Danggumak completed the Immortal Realm LTE communication rules together with Gwi-gok and Gal Hong.
Anyone wanting to activate a smartphone would be required to receive education.
They also threatened to suspend service if even one rule was violated.
The Immortals and celestials who applied for SIM card activation gathered in the multiplex theater.
Danggumak came out personally for the education.
1. LTE service area is limited to the Immortal Realm.
“To be precise, around the multiplex and Seongyeworld. There’s no service in other areas. Not in Hwangcheon-gye, not in Cheon-gye.”
The Immortals accepted this.
They’d be playing in the Immortal Realm anyway.
2. Maintain anonymity at all times in internet and SNS spaces.
“Once the network is connected, you’ll have a lot of contact with Earth people in cyberspace. In that situation, never reveal your identity. There’s no need to announce that you’re an Immortal. This applies to Hwangcheon-gye and Cheon-gye too.”
This was cause for complaint.
Don’t reveal that they’re Immortals?
Doesn’t that mean don’t show off.
But how fun and thrilling that would be.
But the celestials were different.
The celestials gathered in the screening room, including Haemak-i.
“Yes!”
“We absolutely won’t reveal anything!”
“On the internet, we’re Earthlings.”
As expected, the kind and clever celestials.
They all understood what Danggumak was worried about.
How wonderful it would be if the immortals followed even half the example of the celestials.
3. There are no restrictions on paid subscription service registration, but illegal downloads or cybercrime activities will be strictly punished.
“Upon activation, I’ll deposit Immortal Realm coins into your account converted to Earth exchange rates. If it’s insufficient, loans are also available. You just need to pay a small amount of interest. So absolutely no illegal downloads.”
Three major principles.
Naturally, detailed clauses were also prepared.
When it comes to scheming, the immortals are second to none.
Anticipating any situations that might arise, he wrote detailed clauses item by item and distributed them via message.
He called Swordsman separately to explain the Immortal Realm live broadcast regulations.
Because he was most worried about him.
“From now on, live broadcasts are prohibited. Record them and upload to YouTube after review by the Immortal Realm Ethics Committee.”
“…But that reduces the sense of immediacy.”
“What sense of immediacy, and receiving donations is also prohibited.”
“D-don’t accept donations? Then where am I supposed to make money? I still haven’t even paid off my fine.”
Swordsman’s expression was one of despair.
This would make everything go down the drain.
Forget about paying off the fine completely, his watch collection, car collection, bike collection, various luxury brand collections would all become pie in the sky.
To the dejected Swordsman, Danggumak spoke consolingly.
“Instead, I’ll acknowledge revenue from view counts.”
“Oh! R-really?”
“Don’t you trust me?”
“Of course I trust you! If I don’t trust Dok-seon’s words, whose words can I trust?”
Swordsman ran off somewhere with glee.
Probably to prepare for recorded broadcasts.
Then Gwi-gok spoke with a worried tone.
“View count income should be quite substantial too, with Swordsman’s view counts he’ll quickly raise the remaining fine money.”
But Danggumak wasn’t worried.
“Then I’ll just hit him with taxes.”
“Taxes?”
“The 30 billion was a fine. Taxes will be assessed separately. At the highest tax rate!”
“…Ah!”
“And I’ll occasionally allow live broadcasts too, surely there won’t be mistakes in live streams? If he makes even one mistake, I plan to find fault and impose fines.”
“…”
Truly a ruthless Dok-seon without blood or tears.
Gwi-gok resolved to never let his stock account be discovered.
Right then!
Burst!
“He’s here! He’s come!”
One immortal burst through the screening room door with a flushed face and shouted.
“He’s here? Who?”
“The golden gobl… no, Hero Tae-ju.”
“R-really?”
“He’s on the 1st floor right now. With two stupid-looking humans.”
“Let’s go quickly.”
Rushing out.
The immortals swarmed out.
Danggumak clicked his tongue.
‘He did it.’
Tae-ju had finally opened a gate that people could pass through.
And he even brought other people with him?
Anyway, let’s go down and bring him up.
Before he gets harassed by the immortals.
* * *
Leaving the Emperor and Geum Su-ho to the immortals.
Tae-ju was sitting far apart from Dok-seon inside the multiplex theater.
Crackle, crack!
Even so, the chains of light binding each other remained, but now there was no risk of being dragged away.
Yama King also heard the news that Tae-ju had come and personally came through Kang Rim.
Partly to express gratitude for the gifts given through the hole.
Tae-ju and Danggumak talked about what had happened until now.
But Yama, who was listening to the conversation nearby, was shocked.
“An ironclad ship wrapped in black iron was attacked by sea monsters?”
“Yes, it could have sunk if we weren’t careful.”
“…Then, then the effectiveness of black iron has disappeared?”
Yama’s voice trembled.
His coin supply source was about to be blocked.
Tae-ju reassured Yama.
“Not at all. There are so many uses for it. We actually need even more.”
“R-really?”
“You know it. The truth.”
“Hmm.”
Even without making ships, there are many uses for it.
It could be used immediately for laying train tracks.
Moreover, the black iron comes over as refined ingots, not ore.
There’s no need for intermediate processing steps.
Since TJ Group owns construction, steel, and heavy industry, no matter how much they use, it won’t be enough.
“That’s a relief. What a relief.”
Only then did Yama feel relieved.
He almost couldn’t sell the black iron.
Then suddenly, as if remembering something, Yama asked Danggumak.
“Oh! Is it certain that real-time communication with Earth is possible from here?”
“Yes, from the Immortal Realm. But we’re not considering connecting Hwangcheon-gye yet.”
“Good thinking. We need to maintain distance from the Human Realm. Don’t give our administrators those SIM chips or whatever either.”
“Yes, that’s what I’m thinking.”
Still, curiosity seemed to arise.
“Could I try it once too? I’d like to see it.”
“I’ll give you one.”
Yama received the smartphone.
While he was playing with it, Danggumak spoke to Tae-ju from a distance.
“Anyway, let’s continue the story we were having. You hear voices every time you open a gate?”
“Yes, it keeps buzzing in my head. Annoyingly.”
“Hmm, it seems to be related to the Dragon Heart.”
“I think so too.”
“Anyway, we shouldn’t have trusted the Dragon King. I’ll have to give him a piece of my mind when I see him.”
“Hey, don’t do that. Thanks to the Dragon Orb, the sea became safe.”
“I’m grateful for that, but…”
Suddenly!
“Hm?”
Yama slightly raised his eyebrows as if he discovered something while looking at his smartphone.
“What’s wrong? Did the connection cut out?”
“That’s not it, but it seems like something happened on Earth.”
“What?”
“The portal is flooded with news. Take a look.”
Tae-ju also turned on his smartphone to check.
The portal site was plastered with breaking news.
【Mysterious crack appears in Sahara Grassland, discovered by chance by a YouTuber.】
【The exact location where monsters poured out, is another gate opening?】
【Crack still growing even now, tension flows through Cairo Outpost City.】
Photos and videos were uploaded too.
What kind of out-of-the-blue news is this?
“…A crack?”
Danggumak also checked the articles and videos on his smartphone.
“A crack? If that thing splits completely, it looks like a gate. Wasn’t it finished when the Swordsman and you closed it?”
“Well, we did, but honestly I’m doubtful whether it was even a gate. The situation is quite different from back then.”
Suddenly!
“Wait! Could this be?”
Yama frowned as if something occurred to him.
“Your Majesty, do you know something about…”
“It’s a second wave attack.”
“What?”
Second wave attack?
“When Gwi-gok and Gal Hong were studying magical engineering and digging through the memories of Jacques Deluane, a magical engineer from another world, there was something they learned. What the Swordsman and you closed was the first wave, and this one is the second wave.”
Yama’s explanation continued.
“The first wave was artificial, but through it, a path was created. The second wave comes through that path. Much larger than the first wave. Jacques Deluane’s world was also destroyed in the second wave attack.”
“Ah!”
In the past, when Vincent Moretti, who wasn’t even human-like, was put into Infinite Space and came to the Immortal Realm.
That bastard had attempted soul unification by calling the same soul from another world with the intention of self-destructing.
As a result, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
They even caught Jacques Deluane.
And the Soul-Summoning Bell.
A treasure of Hwangcheon-gye that peers into the memories of sinners’ past lives.
Yama had helped Gwi-gok and Gal Hong’s magical engineering studies with the Soul-Summoning Bell.
By summoning Vincent and Jacques’ memories.
“Actually, Jacques’ world wasn’t a civilization of ordinary level. Wasn’t it a highly advanced magical engineering civilization?”
That was right.
You could tell how excellent magical engineering was just by looking at the gate generator alone.
Anyway, the random dimensional gate generation experiment carried out by the mad magical engineer Jacques Deluane – monsters poured out for a week while the gate was open.
“There were tremendous casualties, but they sufficiently blocked the first wave attack too. They closed the gate.”
Everyone thought it was over.
Until the second wave attack began.
“Since they’re mindless monsters with no reason left, only destructive instincts, they persistently pursued the scent of another world they had once caught.”
It was a dimensional rift that had already been opened once.
Did the mindless monsters originally have such power?
Eventually, they opened the door themselves and invaded Jacques Deluane’s dimension again.
“If the path hadn’t been opened in the first place, it might have been different, but since it had already been opened… the second wave was the fatal blow. Stronger and greater numbers of monsters killed everything alive. Whether human, animal, or even trees and small grass roots.”
How eerie.
Earth was actually very dangerous during the first wave too.
It was only because the Swordsman had come to Earth.
Danggumak was also deeply worried.
“We should dispatch immortals to Earth.”
However,
“No, you don’t need to. I alone am sufficient.”
“But they say the second wave attack is more frightening. You can’t do it alone.”
Tae-ju grinned.
“I’ve changed quite a bit since then too.”
That’s right.
Toxic Spirit was basic, and he even possessed the Dragon Orb and Dragon Heart.
He had changed far too much.
“Still…”
“Don’t you trust me?”
“Of course I trust you. I do trust you, but… if it’s really burdensome, I’ll give you plenty of Jecheon Daeseong’s fur.”
“What I currently have is sufficient.”
“Huh.”
Tae-ju proposed an alternative to Danggumak.
“How about this?”
“What?”
“I’ll handle the second wave attack alone. Instead, I’ll broadcast the process in real-time.”
“…A live broadcast?”
“As a private room, not a public one. Then only specific invited people can watch the broadcast.”
“So?”
“Well, let’s enjoy it together. We can communicate with each other, give advice… and if something dangerous happens, I can request help.”
“Oh!”
That’s a good idea.
Because they could watch Tae-ju’s situation in real-time.
Also, if a dangerous moment comes, they could tell him to open a gate and immediately deploy immortals.
Yama also nodded in agreement.
“Rather, how about everyone watching together on a big screen from the beginning? We want to watch too. By installing a large screen in Seongyae World Plaza and projecting smartphone footage with a 4K beam projector.”
“That’s a good idea, Your Majesty.”
“And it’s no fun watching with bare eyes. Selling popcorn and cola, snacks too, and opening outdoor pubs to have drinks while…”
“Hmm, in festival format?”
“That would be good too.”
What?
Why is this suddenly getting bigger?
I just suggested a private live broadcast.
Yama and Danggumak got excited.
“Your Majesty, should we introduce something like gate betting while we’re at it?”
“Betting? What’s that?”
“It’s betting money by guessing when Tae-ju will completely clear the gate.”
“Oh! Gambling?”
This is getting more and more…
“Good! How can you have a big event without gambling! Then what’s the unit? Will you set it by hours? Or by minutes?”
“For excitement, we should calculate down to the second.”
Tae-ju could only gape at the conversation between the two.
Gate betting.
So they’re gambling on the start and end times of the raid?
“Uh oh,”
This is bad.
Things have gotten way too big.
Second air raid or whatever, this is more worrying.
“Um, if possible, please keep it simple….”
“Simple? You’re handling the threat to Earth all by yourself, so we’re going to prepare the grandest festival possible.”
“….”
Now he wasn’t even concerned about the Gate monsters.
‘Should I not have agreed to broadcast this?’
