Chapter 490 The Last War (4)


    “It''s been a while since we had a general meeting where all the branch managers gathered like this. How have you been? Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard in the aftermath of the previous scenario?”


    [.....]


    President Lee Mi-yeon, who convened a general meeting of Arcadia''s branch managers. She asked a half-joking question to lighten the atmosphere of the meeting, which hadn''t even started yet and was too cold, but the effect was great.


    [Haa..... Are you saying that now.....]


    Emily, the head of the US branch, can be said to be on the side of President Lee Mi-yeon the most. Even she let out a deep sigh and began toment andin about the current situation.


    [As the CEO already knows, the winner-takes-all scenario that was concluded this time was not a dispute between a user and a guild in a normal game, but an attack on ourpany, where huge capitals around the world moved.


    ] Attacks by the world''s great groups. And in the process, enormous funds and manpower were invested, so the aftermath of the failure of this scenario was not limited to Blue Rock Investment.


    [Recently, the atmosphere on Wall Street is unusual. Collective and organized movements are being captured everywhere, and recent high-level figures on the Democratic Party continue to contact behind the scenes. It seems that they are trying to give strength to the Democratic Party, who are estranged from us.] [The


    Chinese tax authorities are conducting aprehensive andprehensive surprise tax investigation of Arcadia''s Chinese branch. Given that no word has been received prior to the investigation, I am guessing that this may have been an order directly from the highest level of the leadership.] [


    Intelligence ising in from various ces that the European Union will also prepare a strong regtory bill for virtual reality services by the end of this year. . Additional confirmation is needed to confirm whether the information received has yet to be confirmed , but the situation is not looking very good as the British, German and French governments are taking the lead in pushing for rted legition.


    ]


    Reports from branch managers around the world began to explode. The content of each one was simr orpletely different, but the meaning of each movement was clear.


    “I will retaliate, both formally and unofficially, with the monopoly of virtual reality technology and the behavior of Arcadia Co., Ltd., by mobilizing all possible means to bring down a powerful mace of justice... I guess that means something like that.”


    Mi-yeon said with a calm expression, as she had already foreseen that this situation would happen. And soon, as if that wasn''t important, he brought up another topic.


    “We will discuss these issues separatelyter. Anyway, even if we try to deal with it right now, it won''t be a problem that we can do anything about. The reason I summoned you now is because I have a story I want to tell all of you.”


    [Are you talking about what you want to say...?]


    Everyone looked puzzled when she said that she had something to say, but all the branch managers were shocked by President Lee Mi-yeon''s actions.


    “First of all, I apologize in the name of the general president for the fact that he has caused enormous damage to thepany and each branch by refusing tomunicate with all of Arcadia’s executives and employees, including you. I want to apologize. I am really sorry.”


    [....?]


    [....!]


    The general manager standing up from his seat and bowing his head to apologize to them. Since she had never sincerely apologized for such self-righteous behavior, the shock to the branch managers was even greater.


    “Although you may have already known through several exnations... Until now, I myself have not had any say in this final scenario. And it also has no influence on the scenario that is about to begin. However, at least in such unfavorable conditions, as general president, my role was to take responsibility and protect all of the branch managers and all of Arcadia’s executives and staff gathered here.”


    Colossal civilints from outraged consumers andrge-scale demonstrations against Arcadia that took ce simultaneously all over the world. In addition, the international virtual reality and direct sanctions against Arcadia Co., Ltd. were truly the worst situation to the extent that the ability of executives, including President Lee Mi-yeon, was doubted.


    Therefore, President Lee Mi-yeon was apologizing to all of them ording to her convictions and conscience, even though all of these situations were not her intention and she was also a victim.


    “I don’t know if I can give you an answer to that with confidence now, looking back on whether or not I did a good job with that task.”


    Now, as a neer in his early 30s, he was too proud to be in charge of thepany. That''s why she tried to keep her dignity and dignity as a president by putting on a calm expression in front of everyone.


    “If this final chapter scenario is over, I promise you one thing. In the future, like now, the boss of the pants.... No. I heard it''s fashionable to call me the craziest X in the world these days? Anyway, I will try to show a more sincere and honestmunication with you guys without acting like the craziest X in the world.”


    [Heheuhmm.....]


    [Sa... boss...?]


    The branch managers are perplexed with a prickly look on their faces. However, President Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand as if she was okay and said something with a bitter smile.


    “Don’t make such a face. Looking back, I can see why it was called that. Of course, most of them were not my will, but...”


    CEO Lee Mi-yeon twitched her mouth with a strangely unfair expression.


    However, she couldn''t tell them who the craziest madman in the world was, so she smiled at all the branch managers who were looking at her with nervous faces and said,


    “Then let’s all watch together. Thest story that wille to this world that we have cultivated so far.”


    * * *


    Asura, the master of the ck Mist.


    Asura, a special NPC with the setting of being a being with power and divinity equal to Jack, the original creator, was also owned by one person.


    Kim Min-soo, a genius boy who is the top manager and developed this virtual reality technology.


    An alter ego he created himself, and an existence that is no different from an individual character specially created to y Arcadia.


    Therefore, Asura was originally the absolute manager of this virtual world, and was a powerful being who could not even dare to deal with any higher divinity in Arcadia.


    But.....


    [.....]


    Since it is a character exclusively for Minsu, Asura has been sleeping with her eyes closed for an endless eternity just floating in the void without any ego.


    During the long time that Minsu turned his attention to Arcadia, Asura was forgotten for a long time in a state that was just a shell.


    That is until now.


    Woo woo woo.


    [The End of Arcadia''s End Project No. 3 Invasion of Asura.]


    [Set up virtual personality. Authority and stat bnce adjustment.....]


    For this final chapter scenario, Alice gave Asura a virtual personality as an NPC. And she downgraded that overwhelming divinity and divinity that no one could stop... and made it a ‘disaster''.


    And.....


    [Setting the purpose of action. Assigned a mission.]


    This puppet-like existence was given a single purpose and reason for existence.


    An imaginary world that exists only in virtual reality. But even so, the mission to directly lead Arcadia, which is so beautiful and perfect as a utopia, to the path of the end.


    [Kiyii Lee!]


    [Kahiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


    !


    Because of their rugged and vicious appearance, they seemed to be angry and running out of control, but they were cheering and rejoicing more than ever.


    The fact that the father who created them and the great lord of the void world, Asura of the ck Mist, has finally opened his eyes.


    [My children...]


    Despite being an artificial personage that had just been created, he waspletely unaware of that fact and smiled as he looked at the numerous void beings that surrounded him.


    [Finally, the promised time has arrived.]


    The dimensional barrier that was blocking the invasion of the void.


    A powerful restraint that no one could break through. However, he slowly walked through the air, looking at the open hole with no restrictions and the world of Arcadia visible through it.


    Woo woo woo.


    [Final Chapter No. 3 Invasion of Asura. Time left until start 03:00]


    Alice contemting everything in this world. As the director who directs everything in this final scenario, she was preparing everything for the final stage by rying the birth of the final boss named Asura to all users in real time.


    Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung.


    As their lord began to move, the Void hordes began to follow him.


    Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... No, the sight of something starting to move in the far-out darkness, the number of which I dare not count, was huge and solemn enough to make the viewer feel fear prating their souls.


    [It''s been a while. It''s the end of my sword.]


    Even just looking at it, an ominous ck mist rises and takes the form of a single sword. And he put his hand toward the dimensional wall that was like a ss window that remained weak and blocked the invasion of the void.


    Tuung.


    The dimensional wall that pushed Asura''s hand away, emitting an intense anti-stic force as if it were a living creature. And the pale hand of Asura who had touched the wall was burning ck with intense smoke.


    An injury so serious that it would not be strange if it were a normal human to faint in extreme pain.


    However, Asura looked at her hand with a calm expression as if this was nothing, and then smiled with a joyous smile.


    Poo-wook.


    Then, he pierced the gray sword toward the dimensional barrier that pushed his hand away without hesitation.


    Woo woo woo woo.


    The end of the magic of Asura, the owner of the ck Mist.


    Arcadia''s creator father''s godly Ark.


    When the divinity held by the two gods collided violently, the world shook and screamed, but eventually the ark that protected Arcadia was shattered.


    with chaeng.


    The dimensional wall shattered with a sharp sound like ss windows breaking.


    Then, asura inhaled the atmosphere of Arcadia that was quickly rushing in between them, Asura said quietly.


    [Trample, crush, crush. Shatter it into pieces, tear it to shreds, and eat it all.]


    Asura in the form of a sickly young man.


    But that little smile on his face was full of great despair and madness.


    And he looked at all the void beings screaming in joy behind him and gave the order to carry out the only mission assigned to him.


    [Destroy the world that is not like that and return everything to emptiness.]


    Thus, the stage of Arcadia''sst ordeal and disaster that Minsu had prepared opened.


    [Final Chapter No. 3 Invasion of Asura. Scenario begins.]


    Under the contemtion of Arcadia''s only game master Alice, a transcendent artificial intelligence.
