Episode 471 – Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’ Re (30)
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 571
Current Location: Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’
Wise Man’s Advice: 3]
– Han Ga-in
The Ultimate knelt down like a knight offering his loyalty to me.
Of course, in terms of appearance, it was too far removed from a human.
[Advice: 3 -> 2]
‘Should I accept this guy’s offer?’
[At least it doesn’t harm you.]
Hearing this answer, a complex thought occurred to me for a split second.
The Divine Sun, my second legacy and an incredibly powerful treasure.
In the past, I obtained the divine sun and made a contract with the Lord, and the contents were as follows:
The one who gives does not swallow up the spirit of Han Ga-in.
Han Ga-in holds 144,000 souls in the sacred sun.
“…”
Looking back, it was close to a fraudulent contract.
Because it was a contract made because the essence of the Lord and the Divine Sun was not well understood at the time of the contract and even up until the end of Issue 104.
The first sentence doesn’t make any sense.
Because solar erosion is not something where the sun is there, binding you every night and absorbing your soul and spirit.
Erosion is my choice.
I am just walking down the path of a mad god, realizing that I can gain endless power through the sun.
In this way, after obtaining the second sentence of the book of magic, I was able to look at myself objectively.
“There is no loss… .”
“Mr. Cain, what are you saying?”
The ultimate being I met in the sanctuary asked me with the utmost earnestness.
Be our salvation.
To become an ark that can avoid the inevitable destruction.
The reason the subject is ‘we’ and not ‘I’ is because the soul that is asked to be placed in the sacred sun is not yours alone.
“For a very long time I have been gathering the souls of faithful citizens.”
“You gathered the souls of the Demon King worshippers?”
“Haha, that’s right. For a very… very long time.”
“…”
“It was painful. It was like building a sand castle on a beach with waves crashing in endlessly.”
“…”
“It’s a number you can’t even imagine.”
How many people are there?
It’s probably a lot more than 144,000.
“Gather souls. Is that your original power as the leader of the organization? Or is it a power you gained as a worshiper of the Demon King?”
“Does that distinction make sense at this point?”
“…”
“I guarantee you, our spirits will be of immense help to you.”
“By the way, how do you know about my sacred sun? That you can put your soul into it? -”
“Haha! That’s because Gain-nim took care of over 100,000 people in room 206.”
“…”
As he said, the sun was used loudly in several rounds.
So, the Demon King would have been aware of it and would have passed that information on to his priest, right?
A lot of thoughts come to mind.
Adding more soul to the sun doesn’t make you infinitely stronger.
The number 144,000 that the Lord spoke of was the capacity of the sacred sun to produce maximum power.
You can exert more force for a longer period of time.
Equipping a gun with a larger magazine doesn’t make it more powerful, but it does allow the gun to fire longer.
So this suggestion was completely harmless to me, and the owl responded accordingly.
From the beginning, before the Ultimate One asked me to do so, I had placed my soul in the sacred sun.
but.
Being immersed in the sun is never a peaceful salvation.
I don’t know exactly what happens, but I’m sure it’s closer to going to hell than to salvation.
It is not the divine sun but the soul’s ship that makes the ‘true life outside the hotel’ that the ultimate desires possible.
…
I couldn’t hold it in any longer and said:
“The sun is very different from what you think it is.”
In the past, I might not have told you.
He might have swallowed countless souls just by smiling and saying it was good.
now?
I did not want to deceive those who longed for the salvation of countless compatriots.
“I have a guess. But you are the only one who can get not just one of my lives, but ‘all’ of me out of this cursed place. A painful future? I believe that a painful existence is better than a futile annihilation.”
After we started talking, maybe two or three minutes had passed?
It’s not a long time by any means, but it’s longer than you might think here.
— Gulp!
Perhaps because of this, the entire depths began to shake and a tremendous explosion was heard.
It is clear that human sacrifice has stopped on earth.
The awakening of the Demon King has begun.
“Eww! Hey, Hanga-in! Make a decision quickly!”
Listening to Ari’s urgent voice, I looked at the status window –
[Date: Day 571]
It was 553 days when I first came in, but already nearly 20 days have passed.
When I looked at the date, a good idea occurred to me.
‘Will the ultimate offer be beneficial to me?’
[It’s clearly a favorable choice in the grand scheme of things.]
‘In the grand scheme of things? Then there may be small risks?’
[Can there be a completely risk-free option in a hotel?]
After writing two pieces of advice in quick succession, take a deep breath and wait for a moment.
“Gain? Time -”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute!”
[Advice: 0 ->3]
The date has passed!
‘What is the ultimate goal? Do you really believe that salvation lies in being engulfed in the divine sun and going out?’
[It is true that it is essentially aimed at survival and salvation.]
‘In essence? Or is there another purpose in detail?’
[Don’t you know that I can’t tell you everything one by one?]
what?
It feels like the owl’s speech has changed slightly?
‘Don’t be like that, be a little more specific -‘
In all the hundreds and thousands of times I’ve given advice, I’ve never received a response like this before.
[You have a strangely twisted corner. If I tell you in detail, you will suspect that I am trying to manipulate you this time. I am only an advisor, not a person who can take your place.]
“Huh?”
“What? Have you decided?”
“…”
I’m not lying, this is the first time I’ve received an answer like this.
I think he got a little annoyed because he kept giving advice as if he was having a conversation in the blink of an eye.
Also, it felt like he was saying things he had always wanted to say to me under the guise of advice.
“There’s a strangely twisted corner….”
Once again the depths shook with a loud noise.
The ultimate one with an earnest expression, of course, and Ari also looked at me with an urgent expression.
“…”
Let’s think rationally.
It’s not a loss for me, and more than anything, it’s this guy’s last hope, so you’re rejecting it?
He might suddenly do something strange.
— Hwarurur!
He spoke while holding the blazing flames of the collapsing underground city in his hand.
“Do what you want.”
“gladly.”

– Park Seung-yeop
Gulp!
A fairly tall building that offers a bird’s eye view of what’s happening in the city.
I look at the world from that rooftop.
At the bottom of the floating mansion, thousands or more people climbed the pipes as if possessed, creating a mountain of corpses.
All that remained was a devastation that looked like a nuclear missile had landed in the place where the apartments had been.
It’s the massacre of my grandfather and my doctor.
This was just the beginning.
The floating monster jellyfish relentlessly ‘harvests’ humans, with Sister Elena on its back.
After suffering from hunger and thirst, a muscular giant appeared among the people praying in the square, and otherworldly light spread out in all directions.
In another place, Eunsol was seen summoning dozens of butterflies to make people fall down one by one.
“…”
I can’t breathe.
It was clearly planned outside, I knew this would happen!
I feel like throwing up when I see it with my own eyes.
At that moment, soft hands embraced me.
“I can’t see anything anymore! Peekaboo?”
Sister Songi hugged me.
“Sister. I’m not an elementary school student.”
“peekaboo?”
“Oh really!”
Is something bothering you?
I don’t know about other people, but my older sister and I aren’t that much older than each other!
My sister took a step back and took a serious look.
“Seungyeop, don’t try to look at me.”
“…”
“No one is telling you to get caught up in ethical dilemmas about apocalyptic tragedy. If you can’t find an answer to a question no matter how much you think about it, the answer might be to stop thinking about it.”
If there is no answer to a question, stop worrying about it.
Is this the lesson that Songi learned at the hotel?
At that moment, Yumi’s voice, much colder than Songi’s, was heard.
“We all have a role to play, and so do you. Focus on it.”
“…”
As if defending me, Songi answered.
“Yumi, are you stupid? I told you that Seungyeop shouldn’t concentrate? Seungyeop, just have fun. How about a game of League of Legends in this dying world?”
“…”
“Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!”
“What is that?”
“Just to make you feel like you’re playing a game. Is that the line?”
Sister, you were just trying to defend me, right?
…
Everyone has a role to play.
There are things I do that no one else can do for me.
The first sijo lost control of the paradise in chaos, and his indomitable reason ceased to function.
It is said that the Demon King will rise again soon.
The colleagues are in the process of ‘euthanizing’ as many survivors as possible before the Demon King descends.
Even so, everyone must be safe when the Demon King truly descends.
Timing, it’s all about timing.
The exact timing for the comrades to stop the ‘euthanasia’ of the survivor and hide from the Demon King.
The moment before the Demon King swallows up his comrades with a single wave of his hand!
When exactly is that golden time?
I don’t know.
No one knows, and there is no way to find out.
So in a way, the most important task was given to me.
— Gooooo!
A nightmarish cry echoes through the city.
Songi, who had been acting relaxed just for me until a moment ago, looked at me with an anxious expression, and Yumi also opened her eyes wide.
“Uh, uh! Uh, now -”
no.
It’s not the right time yet.
I told my colleagues the same thing.
Park Seung-yeop: Not yet, so do more.
Kim Muk-seong: OK.
Cha Jin-cheol: The sound is unsettling… OK.
—Whoosh!
A literal, heaven-shattering explosion that sounds like something you would hear at the end of the world!
As if they had been waiting, a choir of angels can be heard from the sky.
Of course, there are no angels in room 206.
“Eww! Not now? Not now -”
“no.”
Not yet.
More people need to be euthanized.
We must minimize the ‘prey’ that the Demon King will devour.
Park Seung-yeop: Not yet. Euthanasia can continue.
Kim Sang-hyun: Now it’s really getting scary.
Eunsol Lee: Not yet?
more.
more.
more.
…
The heavens opened.
The heavens of paradise, which had been blocked by a dome and could not be seen, opened up.
The few survivors who still remain look at the sky in a daze.
When the crazy Jesus of the world announced to the world that his second coming was near, people started to rise up!
At that very moment.
[Heavenly Fortune Activated! The energy of the universe protects you!]
My clenched fists opened as the floor gave way ‘properly’, knocking me off balance.
Finally, the hourglass appeared.
My blessing is good luck.
Luck is making the right choice even in ignorant situations.
— Click!
The moment the ultimate evil rises from the depths of the stars – the hourglass has turned once.
I shouted at the Demon King.
“Fuck! Look! This is the Click Carry! You damn Demon King -”
This is lol.
… and lost consciousness.
