Chapter 127
Episode 127. Truth (7)
“See you again. Player Yoon Taeyang.”
Dantalian, a man in a white suit, had a graceful arc around his mouth.
At the unexpected appearance of the demon king, Ran, who was standing next to the sun, covered her mouth.
“… … Is there any corner where you are not wearing it?”
What is this, what is it, what is it?
The sun brushed its hair.
should have thought
Hadn’t the demon king intervened on stage before?
On the 18th floor, Balak, the owner of the floor, entered directly, but there is no law that only the owner of the floor can do that.
Just like the Demon King Dantalian who appeared in their eyes now.
Sun squinted at Dantalian.
“Are you a demon lord who likes to wander around quite a bit?”
“You’re messing around?”
“That’s right. How many times have you already appeared in front of me?”
“haha. I cannot dispute it.”
Dantalian smiled with his characteristic, incomprehensible expression.
-Come on, sun. Let us think calmly. There are two possibilities.
“Are there two?”
-listen. The first stage was created by Gremory, but Dantalian intervened arbitrarily. and second. Originally, Dantalian really existed on Earth at this time.
“… … what? Didn’t Dantalian just appear on the stage?”
FBI Senior Investigator John agreed with Hyun-hye.
-That’s not a very catchy word. Certainly considering Azur Murph’s post… … .
Azur Murph speculated that the name of the ‘game’ Dantalian was Dantalian, not another demon king, because Dantalian spread the dimensional labyrinth to the earth.
Like Paimon of Eden and Amon of the blue sky.
If the hypothesis holds true, it might not be too strange that Dantalian is here.
-The mission you performed now, literally, is the role of the culprit of the Dantalian crisis. If you look at the time, there is not much difference between the moment the logout was blocked and the time. If Dantalian is the culprit behind all of this, then it’s no wonder he’s sitting here in this room.
“That is correct. It is an accurate reasoning that fits well with the evidence and logic.”
-uh?
A moment of silence prevailed.
The sun looked at Dantalian with startled eyes.
Hyeon-hye muttered in a small voice.
-… … Did you answer what we just said?
-no way. The timing seems oddly right. no way… … .
“no. The timing wasn’t right, but I was answering what you said.”
Did I cover my mouth without realizing it?
Hyeon-hye’s voice was cut off.
“Originally, it should have been replaced with my doll, but I just volunteered. I didn’t want to fit into Gremory’s work, but I thought it would be better if I did it.”
Dantalian smiled and looked into the air.
“Very few players enter the dimensional labyrinth properly. The Earth is the most twisted, but the same goes for Changchun and Eden. Gremory often conveys the truth of the dimensional labyrinth to talented players from each dimension. I guess it’s her hobby.”
“Wait. What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Ran, the only one not participating in the conversation, interrupted, but no one answered.
no i couldn’t answer
Sometimes it is.
If you’re too startled, the sound won’t come out of your throat.
And there were people who were more surprised than such a sun.
It was Hyun-hye and John.
From the sun’s perspective, Dantalian seemed to be looking into space, but not to Hyun-hye and John.
Dantalian was staring at their screen.
-uh… … uh… … .
Hyeon-hye was embarrassed like a machine with an error, so she only drool.
John turned off the mic, so no sound came through at all.
“I am sorry to startle you, lady. But since I keep pretending not to hear what I hear, it seems to be rude.”
– Wow, I was able to hear it originally… … yo. this? What about the other demons?
“Other demon lords wouldn’t have heard of it. If I had to ask, I didn’t listen. He could have known that some gaze was looking at the player, Taeyang Yoon, but he didn’t bother to find out. Because you would have thought it was another demon king. Oh, some might have known.”
Taeyang looked at Dantalian with a hard expression.
I was surprised to suddenly react to Hyeon-hye’s words, but there was something more surprising.
“Now that means… … .”
“yes. you are right Your predictions were correct. from start to finish. It was quite surprising how Earthlings could infer the truth based only on evidence without resorting to magic or intuition.”
-If expected… … .
“The truth about ‘Game Dantalian’.”
Billions of users have accessed the game Dantalian or the dimensional labyrinth through capsules.
But the computers in the server room didn’t work.
“Actually, the computer worked. It just didn’t work using the human way technology.”
Tok.
Long fingers gracefully tapped the computer monitor.
“When I first discovered the Earth, I was really surprised. It was the first time that only technology had advanced so overwhelmingly. You have developed a way to hold the human mind with nothing but electricity. Not assisted by magic, only by technology.”
Dantalian has lived a long life and traveled to many dimensions, and as such has seen many different types of technology.
Hyperopia, which contemplates the inside of the body and foresee the future of the living being.
The law of order that reached the limit of magic and reversed the law of the dimension, and so on.
And on Earth, there was a technology that surprised Dantalian, who, having experienced so many technologies, was now hardly surprised.
virtual reality game.
To be precise, it was the full dive technology that connects the mind to virtual reality.
“It wasn’t very interesting. It captures human souls and transplants them into the virtual world. This was no different from using dimension shift magic without using magic mana. Did you say King of Fist in particular? It was a game that cemented the throne before Dantalian. It was such a perfection. It’s because the soul transplant rate has been overwhelmingly higher than in previous games.”
“under. So now you mean… … Is it Dantalian that added ‘magic’ to existing virtual reality games?”
“Exactly. The virtual reality game Dantalian is nothing more than the King of Fist’s technology with the foul of ‘magic’ added.”
The secret of absurd realism.
Dantalian was saying it was ‘magic’.
“There is absolutely no technology using ‘mana’ or ‘ki’ on Earth. Well, it was easy.”
Dantalian continued with an excited face.
“I made this virtual space called ‘server’ a gate. Understanding the concept of virtual space was quite challenging, but it was fun. full dive. So, once you understand the technique of ‘holding’ the mind, it’s easy to bring the captured mind into the dimensional labyrinth.”
Dantalian proudly announced his achievements in front of his victims.
The process of manipulating Dantalian to gain overwhelming popularity.
Setting up a fictitious company and turning it into a real company, and so on.
“ah. The moment I watched 300 million concurrent users with my own eyes was really thrilling.”
Dantalian smirked, his arms folded.
The moment when Dantalian, which functioned like a game, was transformed into a prison of 300 million people, was entirely attributed to Dantalian.
Dantalian continued to talk for a long time after that.
It looked so enjoyable that Taeyang wondered how Dantalian had ever lived without speaking.
“under.”
I had no choice but to admit the truth that I had already been convinced of several times.
“You mean this stage was a rehash of what happened in ‘reality’? damn it.”
“That’s right. haha. It may be hard to accept, but it is.”
“Damn, congratulations. zone. I found the true identity of the traces you were looking for.”
Something that makes nonsensical transfers possible and disappears after a while.
It’s magic.
The phenomenon that the FBI found that it could not find out scientifically was a trace of magic.
A thought flashed through Taeyang’s head, who was laughing cynically.
“Wait, what about the body?”
If the earth is real and the dimensional labyrinth is also real, what will happen to the original body of the player remaining in the capsule?
“Good question. Your soul passed through the gate, but your body did not. Since the game is virtual reality, a physical body was not required, but the dimension labyrinth is a dimension of reality. I needed a body.”
Dantalian continued with a non-trivial expression.
“So we have given you the bodies of players who have already died on Dantalian.”
“crazy! A corpse?”
“Of course, I didn’t use the corpse as it was. It was created by finding a corpse that matches the wavelength of the soul and undergoing some degree of transformation into the body that the soul remembers.”
If the corpse was used as it was, there could be an extraordinary case in which an existing player who had survived for a long time recognized the user.
-If this is the case, it explains why the character’s appearance was different every time he died and restarted the game.
“It was.”
Dantalian shrugged.
“If Dantalian remained just a game, it would have remained as a masterpiece that put effort into each setting. It’s a bit disappointing not to hear that kind of evaluation.”
Ran, who was listening to the story, shook his head.
“300 million players came in and prepared corpses that matched their souls? Not just one, but several?”
Even twice as much as 300 million is 600 million.
No, starting with 300 million is an astronomical number.
Ran’s head couldn’t even imagine how much labor it would take.
Dantalian chuckled.
“The Demon King is someone who can easily do that.”
Devil.
Basically, a loser in at least one dimension and a transcendentalist at the same time.
And the dimensional labyrinth was created by 72 demon kings.
“The dimensional labyrinth was created for our entertainment, but it was never crudely made. All 72 demon lords directly or indirectly contributed to the creation of the labyrinth.”
John, who had been silent for a while, intervened.
– Sun That’s a lie.
“What?”
– Saying it was made for entertainment. That is obviously false.
At John’s words, Dantalian exaggeratedly raised his arms.
“Oh John Edgar Hope, a senior FBI agent who is renowned as one of the best cops on the planet! You are assuming that my words are false. Can I hear your opinion if it doesn’t disrespect you?”
To Dantalian’s sarcasm, John answered without wavering.
-There were many powerful people on Earth. And they would do things that seemed absurd in the eyes of the perpetrator.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Joseon, pretending to be crazy about conquest, to end the internal conflict in Japan.
World War II was, on the surface, the atrocities of the devil named Hitler, but behind it was the miserable economic situation of Germany at the time, which was ruined due to the payment of astronomical reparations.
All intelligent beings basically don’t do anything that doesn’t leave behind a story.
Even more, it is something that happens with a level of respect.
Is the reason just ‘play’?
John and the US government didn’t think so.
Dantalian asked.
“zone. Do you think the earth is worth that much?”
– Of course. Otherwise, there’s no reason for you to be so out of touch. It’s also the case that someone like you clings to Yoon Taeyang even after being rejected twice.
Dantalian laughed.
“Good question. But I will not answer.”
Soon Dantalian looked at the sun.
“That’s for you to come up and check.”
The sun bent its head.
“Can’t you just tell me?”
“This is a labyrinth violation. It’s a loose law that all of us 72 demon lords abide by. What I will tell you will always be the same.”
A long finger pointed to the ceiling.
“As always, the answer is always above.”
“ha.”
The sun sighed and lowered its head.
“Hyeon-hye, I can’t stand it any longer.”
-uh?
A clear tendon sprouted from the forehead of the sun looking at the floor.
“I can’t stand it.”
As the words continued, the truth became clearer.
Dantalian, which was thought to be a game, was a reality.
And, as the name suggests, Dantalian was the culprit of the tragedy called the Dantalian Incident.
to put it in other words.
“You’re saying that Byeollim ended up like this because of this son of a bitch.”
I knew it in my head.
I can’t do this.
You can’t jump.
So I tried to be patient.
no i had to wait
Because the power of the sun is clearly inferior to that of the demon lord.
Because the issue of Byeollim hasn’t been resolved yet.
If the culprit behind all these incidents is Dantalian… … .
Maybe it’ll put everything back the way it was.
“X feet… … .”
But that Dantalian’s expression.
It’s as bright as if you’ve conquered a difficult stage in the game.
Mortgage the lives of 300 million people.
I couldn’t help but look at the proud expression on Byeollim’s expression after locking him in this disgusting labyrinth.
‘It’s not an excuse, but no, it’s like that.’
If you want to know why after punching him, go up to the building.
This Mr. X New X.

Wooddeuk.
Even otherwise, the solid body of the sun involuntarily swelled up.

It was fired at Dantalian.
quadruple.
The transcendent advance, stepped on at the right time, fully contained the kinetic energy that had bounced out, and the elastically bent waist pumped it up to the upper body.
Transcendent Jin-Gak – Fan Fist (旋風拳).
In addition, the mana of the two Jackie Chan class dragons burned the circuit of the sun as if tore it apart.
Awesome profit.
An unusual sound echoed from the mana circuit.
It was the rupture of a circuit.
The sound produced by receiving an injury to the extent that mana cannot be used unless other recovery measures are taken in exchange for the excessively generated mana.
But it doesn’t matter.
‘One move.’
Because the winning point was here.
Originally, the body of the sun would have stopped moving because the body could not keep up, but the muscles of the dragon king assisted the sun.
pug.
Dantalian’s head, which was sitting in a chair in a relaxed posture, was smashed as it were.
At the same time, the red jewel floating on Dantalian’s shoulder shone.
