Chapter 200

Episode 200.

[Clash of God and Hero!]

[The cause lies in the conquest of Pratel’s hidden named raid boss Luidra!]

[Shocking revelation that Kaiser conquered Luidra, which the Hero Guild was recruiting for…]

[Babylon’s intrusion! Babylon covets Kaiser?]

[The last Lantern Festival? It has been revealed that Pratel’s famous Lantern Festival has now come to an end…]

[The connection between the Lantern Festival and Kaiser.]

Article headlines plastered in huge fonts.

Not only the Godose homepage, but also various portal sites like Green Window and Blue Window were filled with articles about Kaiser.

Even the real-time search terms were completely covered with stories related to this.

-Why is there never a quiet day with Kaiser lololol

-What happened this time for real

-Luidra conquest, war with Hero Guild, and the end of the Lantern Festival? All this happened overnight?

-Has there ever been a player with this much impact before?

-How dare you! How impiously do you call a god a player!

└Ah, ahhh… Amen…

-I can hear the journalists getting excited from here lololol

The community literally exploded in response.

People went crazy over this unprecedented scale of big issue in history.

“Hello, brothers! This is Ddangchul TV! You all know about the chaos from this incident, right? Ah, where would there be someone who doesn’t know? Hey, I wouldn’t have even brought it up if I was just going to talk about it! Wasn’t I the one who actually filmed the Lantern Festival broadcast!”

“Boss steal? Hey, that should be seen as boss kidnapping. Huh? How do you kidnap a boss? Ah, the boss kidnapped Kaiser.”

What’s more, this time it wasn’t just the community and journalists, but even streamers like BJs joined in and were busy talking about it.

Previously, they could only have speculative discussions.

But this time, thanks to the Lantern Festival, they had a lot to say since they had directly turned on broadcasts and filmed it.

-What is all this about? A boss kidnapping?

└For real, what kind of bullshit is that. I don’t understand.

└? Didn’t you watch the Hero Guild Luidra conquest broadcast? Were you almost a foreigner?

└No no, that guy just seems like a noob. Almost everyone knew about it.

└So what is it, you bastard.

└One-line summary: As soon as Hero Guild started the raid, Kaiser appeared with a hero landing, then suddenly a hidden phase activated and the boss kidnapped Kaiser, okay?

└…? What kind of bullshit is this.

-More than that, what’s this last Lantern Festival? The Lantern Festival won’t happen anymore?

-So how did the war turn out. Why did Babylon interfere. Do they know each other?

-No, fuck, ask one thing at a time, you bastards. It’s really chaotic.

-Really, all that happening in one moment is making me dizzy lololol

Especially this time, there were too many topics to talk about.

Even just one of those would cause chaos if it broke, but three of them exploded simultaneously, so it couldn’t be organized.

After talking for several hours like that.

In the end, going round and round, the most focused topic was one thing.

-So Kaiser and Berjhe finally properly faced off?

-Yeah, seems like it.

-They’ve been clashing with each other in small ways, and finally this match came to be.

Kaiser VS Hero Guild.

Gamers are beings who are serious about other people’s fights to the point of spitting fire over combat power rankings.

There was no way they would just pass over this big match.

And then. A video was uploaded to YouTube.

[You’ve been kidnapped.]

[Hero Guild]

[The true Lantern Festival]

Just three videos.

-Crazy… Kaiser’s video is up!

-Hero Guild is appearing too?

-What, is that the king in the thumbnail? The king is crying? Hey, are you crying?

-Wow… Is that the last Lantern Festival?

The videos uploaded simultaneously to Kaiser TV, which had already surpassed ten million subscribers, literally caused a sensation.

-Ah, please… This is too sad ㅠㅠㅠ

-Angela ㅠㅠㅠㅠ sob sob sob sob

-Gilberun… Sweet. Why is it so touching, really.

-But how does Kaiser receive such quests? Is it really a main quest?

-Are you fucking crazy? Is that what you’re curious about right now?

-The lanterns are so pretty… It’s like a fairy tale.

The touching story of the king and Angela, and the sight of residents and players enjoying the Lantern Festival.

-Kidnapping for real lolololol

-Ah, so that’s what the one-line summary meant. Summary agreed

-Cool guy hero landing

-No, he moved by scroll so it was during conquest. How was the timing like that lololol

-But seriously, that control? Crazy for real. There’s someone who solo plays a raid boss? Pew pew bang bang

-Even a hidden named one. Class indeed…

From the Luidra conquest to the reason for confronting the Hero Guild.

It satisfyingly resolved the questions of those who were curious about the sudden events.

The news spread instantly, and the view count literally skyrocketed.

[Views: 27.15 million]

[Views: 29.42 million]

[Views: 30.31 million]

Numbers that instantly surpassed ten million to reach thirty million.

Subscribers also rose steeply with each refresh, and this brought about many changes in public opinion.

-What, Kaiser didn’t do it on purpose either.

-Even the first punch was thrown by Hero Guild lololol Aren’t they embarrassed getting beaten 30 to 1.

-Dating sim game lololol They were acting all high and mighty saying they had justification, ugh, I knew it. Berjhe is trash.

-No, but from Berjhe’s perspective, it’s understandable to be pissed. The quest they were working on conquering all went down the drain.

-This is a bit ambiguous. I can understand both sides.

-The comment above is right. There’s a reason guilds can’t step forward carelessly.

-Understanding my ass lololol Getting beaten 30 to 1 and then trying to gang up 200 to 1 before getting cut by Gilberun is fucking ugly.

This time, public opinion that had been leaning toward Kaiser crossing the line was reversed.

There were those who sided with Berjhe, but most of those who had been cursing Kaiser disappeared, so it was a positive change.

And this reaction didn’t only occur online.

Bzzzz- Bzz-

[Yu Jonghyeon: Fucking crazy fucking crazy fucking crazy!!!]

[Kim Duhyung: Breaking news! King God General Kaiser vs Ugly Parasite Brother Dating Sim Gamer!! A match is happening!]

[Kwak Jaeyeol: Additional breaking news, Babylon Guild intrusion!]

[Kim Hyeonsu: Look how interesting the situation is turning out. What’s Dohyun doing? Not checking in this situation?]

[Kim Duhyung: Is that bastard gaming again without reading the room?]

[Yu Jonghyeon: What would a heretic who won’t even join our King God General Kaiser Punch Guild know.]

[Kwak Jaeyeol: Lololol That bastard asked why the guild name was like that before, now he’s the most left out.]

[Yu Jonghyeon: How could one not be captivated after receiving Lord Kaiser? I’ve already become a fervent believer of Lord Kaiser.]

[Kim Duhyung: Just wait. I’ll recruit Hyuna and Dohyun soon too. Hyuna seems almost won over.]

Right now, even Dohyun’s phone was vibrating intensely.

Alarms ringing non-stop to the point where you’d wonder if the phone might explode.

And it wasn’t just friends who were reacting.

Beep beep beep-

Creak-

“Oppa! Huge incident!! Our Kaiser is having a showdown with the Hero Guild… Huh? What? Why isn’t he here?”

Hyuna quickly entered the passcode and rushed into the house, shouting loudly before suddenly stopping mid-sentence.

When she looked around the house and couldn’t see Dohyun, she threw off her shoes and burst open Dohyun’s room door.

Then, seeing the capsule in operation, Hyuna shook her head back and forth.

“Ugh, he’s gaming again. This isn’t the time for that…”

Soon after, she left the room without any lingering attachment.

“Well… I guess it’s either Raven or Brion anyway, so finding out about what happened in the Empire would just be frustrating. I should hurry and tell the kids we need to graduate too!”

She figured it didn’t matter to her anyway.

With everyone focused on this incident, time passed, and the next day arrived.

As the heated atmosphere somewhat cooled down, people couldn’t help but become curious.

-So what’s Berjhe doing now with all this chaos?

-Don’t know? Things seem quiet.

-That’s true? Come to think of it, what’s Kaiser doing?

-It’s not that things are quiet, it seems like he’s constantly being cut off by Babylon.

The Hero Guild and Kaiser, who could be called the main characters of this stage, had been quiet.

But Berjhe felt wronged.

It wasn’t like he was staying quiet because he didn’t want to respond to people’s interest.

“Good, preparations are perfect. This time we won’t miss and will completely surround…”

“What? Why are you blocking the road? Won’t you move?”

“This place isn’t for you guys…”

“What do you mean it’s not? We’re on an escort quest. You’re going to threaten the residents? Move along before we report you.”

“…”

When they tried to wait in the city, Babylon guild members would invariably appear and cut them off,

“Damn bastards… Let’s change methods. I’ve narrowed down places where Kaiser might hunt. Let’s take these spots first and block him…”

“Oh my, we have business to take care of from here on.”

“We already claimed this spot, you know?”

When they tried to claim dungeons or hunting grounds, Babylon guild members would appear out of nowhere, wink at them, and cut them off – what could they possibly do?

Cut off in the city, cut off in dungeons, cut off at hunting grounds…

Wherever they went, they couldn’t avoid the Babylon guild members.

“Arghhhh!! Why do you keep blocking us?! Why!!”

All Berjhe could do was thrash about like an adolescent boy in his turbulent phase, expressing his rage.

And at that moment, Ast was…

“This guy really has a fierce temperament like a wildcat.”

Sitting in his office chair, receiving real-time reports while picking his ear.

At Ast’s words, Dohyun let out a hollow laugh.

“Are you really sure this is okay? You said it was an unspoken rule.”

“Huh? What did I do? I just claimed a few dungeons and received some escort quests from NPCs. Those guys blocking roads are the bad ones~”

“…”

“I saw the reactions were split because of the video you uploaded. Since I didn’t cross the line, they can’t come at us recklessly either, right?”

Ast grinned and added as if to prove his point.

“That’s why I always say it. Positions gained through image are hard to maintain. If that were the case, Kkukku should have crashed long ago. It’s better to slip someone some money and get the job done cleanly.”

If you couldn’t buy loyalty even with money, you should suspect that the money wasn’t enough.

It was a statement befitting the purple-haired guy who held such beliefs.

Dohyun somewhat agreed, but he made an exception for what was said earlier.

“That’s Kkukku’s image. A fighting maniac who wouldn’t be strange no matter what he does.”

“Ah… That’s true. He is the biggest nutcase I know.”

Kkukku was someone who never went a day without fighting, and whether such a Kkukku picked fights with anyone or caused controversy, it was perfectly natural.

Rather, if an article came out saying Kkukku endured even after being hit first, they would have questioned if it was a lie.

Anyway, that aside…

Swish.

Ast stopped picking his ear and raised his head.

Then he made eye contact with Dohyun sitting across from him and chuckled.

“Anyway, well, it’s late but good to see you, man.”

A casually spoken tone.

Despite reuniting after a long time, there was no awkwardness at all, and at Ast’s familiar appearance, Dohyun also slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

“Long time no see, old man.”

One year and eight months since Demroc’s service ended.

It was the two people finally reuniting after nearly two years had passed.
