Chapter 394 The End of the Human Era Has Arrived (5)


    Hidden ss Ste''sst hunting video, which has been gaining a lot of poprity and interest in Arfandia since changing jobs as a dimensional gatekeeper.


    Due to an unexpected death, it ended in a short time of less than 10 minutes from the start of the broadcast, but due to therge number of people who watched this video, it became a huge topic and spread quickly.


    -spaceship....?


    -What I just saw is... right...?


    -Suddenly SF...? is it real?


    A gigantic spaceship that appeared through a dimensional rift. The existence of the unidentified ship was revealed as a fact through the testimonies of those who watched the enormous size of the ship, which is absolutely impossible even with real science and technology, and the video reports from numerous users who identally stayed in the Japanese continent.


    [I purposely came all the way to the Japanese continent to confirm the truth of the information I received! Crazy here now! See that enormous size? I don''t know what it is, but it''s not a spaceship, but it''s a huge structure that can be seen with the naked eye even from such a distance. Besides, the robots flying around it...]


    [Ugh! These are the first attacking monsters! The damage is crazy too! dog hurts! evil! Ah!]


    [What the hell is going on? Why did such spaceships and robots suddenly pop out while iming to be a medieval fantasy?]


    Users who were attacked by hostile drones and fell mercilessly while approaching clumsily. As the number of victims attacked by them increased one by one, all users were able to recognize at least one fact.


    Now those unidentified robots are hostile to humans.


    And the enormous questions rted to this started pouring toward thepany.


    -A space battleship that appeared in Arcadia. The beginning of a major event?


    - A ship summoned by the gatekeeper of the hidden ss dimension. What is its true identity?


    - Arcadia Co., Ltd. is consistent with silence. Consumers angry at iprehensible moves.


    Not only general users, but also all kinds of game-rted media are watching with interest. And Jaeyoung was also looking at the video being broadcast on TV with a very absurd expression on his face.


    “What is that.....”


    A video that continues to be shown on the air. It was the appearance of the NPCs that existed in the Shouen Empire... no, in the Japanese continent, fighting fiercely against unknown giant robots.


    Machines that show extreme hostility towards humans.


    They were obviously attacking NPCs in Japan and expanding their territory one by one.


    “I couldn’t believe it... wasn’t this... what kind of developer or what kind of guy did this again?”


    When Angelina asked for the book back, Tan tilted his head with apletely unfamiliar face. At that time, Jaeyoung narrowed her eyes and muttered, as if she finally understood the identity of the anxiety that had been creeping up in her heart.


    “You''re not going to say something like thest time that the game is ruined...?”


    President Lee Mi-yeon, who contacted Jae-young just a while ago and asked her to stop the resurrection of the guy who was said to be the death of the beginning. She had been asking me to take care of all kinds of problems that she couldn''t handle because she was a secret friend, but strangely, she was quiet without any contact about the matter.


    ‘Is this an event that I really prepared...?''


    Jaeyoung licks his lips, thinking that there is no big problem. But at that moment, through the news, he heard the announcer''s urgent words in his ears.


    [This is the news that just came in. Regarding the spacecraft that recently appeared in Arcadia, Arcadia Co., Ltd. has announced an official position. I''ll connect the site right now and listen to the rted announcement.] It''s an


    official announcement without any notice, or something messy and hectic. Looking at the person who appeared at this interview in the lobby of Arcadia Co., Ltd., Jaeyoung focused his gaze.


    “what....?”


    The situation where President Lee Mi-yeon appeared directly. Just looking at it, many people including Jaeyoung intuited that the current situation was not serious.


    [We will temporarily suspend Arcadia''s Japanese service indefinitely.]


    She doesn''t reveal her face unless it''s a big issue, such as the suspension of service throughout Japan. Therefore, the fact that she stood in front of reporters and cameras meant that she was ready for something more than anything she could imagine.


    And CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not escape Jae-young''s expectations.


    [That ship you see now is the frontier of the integrated mechanical consciousness gestalt.]


    “...?”


    President Lee Mi-yeon throws a sound that makes the listeners bewildered.


    And she yed a video through the TV installed on one side without saying anything.


    [A sight is worth a thousand words. If I try to exin it in words, it won''te out well, so let''s watch it in the video.]


    So, in front of the camera that people around the world are watching, she yed a video about the origin of the spaceship that suddenly jumped out.


    any advanced civilization. Artificial intelligence that awakened self-consciousness was born there.


    A devastating war and theplete annihtion of mankind. And a prosperous mechanical civilization under the newly established order, and a frontier ship venturing into space for another colony.


    “.....”


    A bizarre setting that makes the viewer''s mind go crazy. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon started talking about the setting very seriously.


    [These machines are driven by themands of a great mechanical consciousness called Gestalt. It has the goal of transforming all worlds into a fully machined civilization. That is why it opposes all living organisms in the world and seeks to exterminate them. That is the reason why they are currently attacking and upying the Japanese continent.]


    Gestalts have nested in the Japanese continent and preferentially attack all organisms within it. So, while there was almost no damage elsewhere, the Japanese continent was in a situation of tremendous crisis.


    [Currently, 34% of the Japanese continent is upied by machines. As their territory expands, more drones will be created, and additional objects that are more difficult to deal with will be created.]


    Like viruses, beings that will gradually expand their territory and encroach on all of Arcadia. And as the result was the annihtion of everyone and the purification of the entire continent, no one could escape this disaster. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon spoke about the future in a firm and firm tone. [I don''t know exactly what the results will be... If we leave them as they are


    , this Arcadia will perish.]


    “This crazy...”


    President Lee Mi-yeon, who proims the destruction of Arcadia, which is a virtual reality and is immensely popr and loved by all mankind.


    Even Jae-young muttered with a contemtive look on her face, and the reactions of others were simr.


    “Ah, the destruction of Arcadia...?”


    “What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying you''re going to end Arcadia''s service?”


    Even the reporters expressed their disbelief that what they had just heard was true and rushed out with questions, and the conference hall turned into a mess.


    “Please be clear. What exactly does that mean?”


    “As a gamepany, isn’t it too irresponsible to cause this situation and leave it alone?”


    Amon sense question that can be asked by an ordinary user who enjoys Arcadia beyond a journalist.


    I don''t know who did it, but it was a question like a protest against the tyrannicalpany''s policy to distort and destroy the first virtual reality that boasts such perfect and excellent game quality with such shitty management.


    And in response to that question, CEO Lee Mi-yeon opened her tightly closed mouth.


    [I would like to confess one fact in this ce.]


    “.....”


    As President Lee Mi-yeon started talking, the conference hall became quiet again. That moment when everyone was focused on her next story. To all who will be watching this broadcast, President Lee Mi-yeon began to talk candidly about thepany''s true grievances that had never been told before.


    [...So, the developers who created this world have strictly restricted their rights so that nothing can be arbitrarily adjusted or changed. That''s why no executives and employees of thispany were able to interfere or adjust in-game. Even I, the general manager, expressed my opinion that the ‘second half crisis'' that was triggered this time was too premature and that it must be prevented from triggering it, but I couldn''t stop it. In ordance with the great principle of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, Ste should not interfere with the user''s free will.]


    Ste opened Pandora''s box because of ignorance.


    President Lee Mi-yeon spoke with a very resolute expression while using the fact that the second half crisis scenario was triggered by her.


    [However, the ending of this scenario has not yet been decided. Obviously, the process will be difficult and arduous, but if all the users join forces to break away from their personal interests and join forces with all NPCs to fight against it, we will be able to write a new story, not a story of destruction.] Competing with each other’s continents


    . To all the guilds that are splitting up and fighting each other fiercely. Seeing her telling them to join forces and fight to ovee this crisis beyond mutual interests, Jaeyoung felt as if she was talking to him while looking at him.


    [Those with power have responsibilities. People who obtained the hidden ss and enjoyed a special strength over others. And those who obtained titles and territories and reigned and ruled over someone else. Whoever has the honor to call for strength in Arcadia, please do not forget the responsibility thates with that power, and I earnestly ask you to take the lead in fighting.] President Lee Mi-yeon asks Arcadia''s so-called rankers to first fulfill their duty of protecting this virtual reality


    . . Then, as if she trusted everyone, she left thest word earnestly, then turned around and left the conference room without looking back. [As the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., I hope that when I meet you again


    , I can turn these damn machines into scrap metal and celebrate the victory of humans... no, all organisms together.]


    President Lee Mi-yeon leaves, leaving behind a bullshit. The broadcast returned to the studio after a physical struggle between the reporters who kept calling her and asking additional questions, and the bodyguards who stopped them.


    But perhaps the aftermath hadn''t gone away, Jaeyoung didn''t notice any of the announcer''s broadcasts.


    ‘The destruction of Arcadia.....''


    Jae-young wonders if that''s really what the general manager said. And then a verymon sense question came to mind.


    ‘Then who is the one who actually rules and controls Arcadia...?''


    In fact, Jaeyoung had been thinking about this question for a long time.


    In a series of situations, Jae-young knew that neither President Lee Mi-yeon nor the gamepany could directly interfere with the internal problems of the game. However, at this moment, sincere curiosity about what was behind it came to an unbearable level.


    [I''ll watch from the outside, the story of this world you''re making.]


    A yful child''s voice whispered to Jae-young when he was changing jobs to a hidden ss. Recalling the memory of that time, he smiled as if he was having fun.


    “It’s fun...”


    At that moment, Jaeyoung realized.


    A Bard of Anarchy, a profession with an abnormal level of fraudulent abilities.


    Why this job existed in this world and what he was expecting.


    now i knew


    “You have the power, so work for it, right...?”


    Noblesse Oblige. Recalling the phrase he had learned in middle school, Jaeyoung grinned and muttered at the original desire for challenge that was boiling in his heart.


    “Let’s try it somewhere.”
