Chapter 496: The Last War (10)


    A transcendent artificial intelligence and game master who contemtes, analyzes, and coordinates everything in Arcadia.


    Alice.


    Although she did not have the creative ability to create things that did not exist in Arcadia, she was the only one who had all the rights necessary to operate the actual game as the main body that manages information about all users who y this world.


    From creating quests and granting rewards, to creating bnce adjustment jobs and skills, to even manipting characters... Ellis has the exclusive authority to wreak havoc if misused even a little bit. However, she is not swayed by any self-interest and handles everything fairly and ording to the given rules and regtions. So far, she has been steadfast in any situation and has solved all problems in ordance with principles and order.


    Until now.


    [warning. Significant vition of the integrity process.]


    [The administrator''s action is considered a serious vition of regtions.] [I


    strongly rmend that you terminate the connection immediately.]


    [I am warning you again. The administrator''s behavior is current.....]


    Alice urges you to immediately stop all actions and close the connection with a loud warning sound. However, despite her continued guidance, Minsu snorted as if he had no intention of doing so.


    “Shut up, Alice. Stop nagging me because I know.”


    A simple word.


    However, since the person who said that was the one with the highest administrative authority than anyone else, and it was an absolute order from him, Elise had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.


    [Confirmmand. The guidance ends.]


    “Yes. It should be.”


    Minsu smiles, satisfied with Elise''s silent attitude, obeying her words.


    And he muttered as he looked at Jaeyoung, who was gasping for breath in the distance, as if he was in trouble.


    “Ha... isn''t it a joke that you''re stubborn, unlike how you really look?”


    Min-soo was dealing with Jae-young with his stats and skills adjusted to a ridiculous level by abusing the manager''s authority as much as possible. The Gigantes he was riding had long since beenpletely dismantled into thousands of pieces, and the proud gods, Muspelheim and Deathbringer, had also been cut in half.


    A gloomy situation in which all of Jaeyoung''s main powers have already been destroyed in the overwhelming difference in power. It was clear to anyone that it was a fight with no chance of winning for him, but Jaeyoung did not give up.


    “No, there''s not much probability now, right? You won''t be able to maintain that skill for a long time anyway, so you just give up, right? All you have to do is delete the character cleanly, so why are you so forceful?”


    Minsu grumbles as if he doesn''t like this situation that keeps dragging him along. However, Jaeyoung looked at him and suddenly asked.


    “Why?”


    “uh?”


    “Why are you pushing me to give up my character?”


    “That''s it.... As I said earlier, the job your character has was something I created as a joke, so the bnce is at a serious level and there is no answer...” “No, not


    that.”


    Minsu tried to give the same answer to Jaeyoung, who asked again about the story he had just said. But Jaeyoung shook his head as if that wasn''t the case and cut him off.


    “As an operator, you have such ridiculous and fraudulent rights, why don’t you just forcibly delete my character and waste your time talking to me like this?”


    An iprehensible situation. However, Jae-young noticed something in the whispers of Min-su, who urged him to give up while neutralizing all other means of attack without killing himself even during the continuous battle thatsted over an hour.


    “Even you guys, do you think it’s an area where you can’t just delete my character?”


    “.....”


    Minsu kept his mouth shut as if he had been stabbed to the point. Then Jaeyoung smiled and said.


    “Right?”


    Jaeyoung with a confident expression as if he was caught. And at those words, Minsu grumbled with a frown on his face full of annoyance.


    “Sheesh. Anyway, that''s why I don''t like quick-witted guys.”


    Minsu, who is the absolute manager and holds the highest authority over Alice.


    He was able to push through everything else and deal with them as he wanted with only the authority he had, but the only thing that was impossible was to forcefully delete Jae-young''s character.


    [The user''s character has a non-deletable attribute applied.]


    [The user has immunity from all unfair patches.]


    [The chief developer has exercised the right to veto this order.]


    [Admin ‘s order is an abuse of authority that can lead to serious ethical and legal disputes.]


    [This order cannot be executed.]


    Even if everything else is done, Elise firmly expresses her intention to refuse, saying that this is impossible.


    Thanks to that, after several attempts to forcibly delete Jae-young''s character, Min-soo was finally able to get a clue.


    [The user''s voluntary and explicit consent is required.]


    A situation where the character can only be deleted with Jaeyoung''s explicit consent. That''s why Min-su couldn''t even kill him and continued the battle, but Jae-young, who had already noticed everything, never seemed to give him what he wanted.


    “ah. Let''s do it really moderately. They say they''ve left it for fun so far, but does it make sense to keep that ridiculous character as it is even after finishing the final chapter? Even if you be a major shareholder of Arcadia Co., Ltd., if you y with fraudulent characters like that, you will hear all kinds of noise about abuse of authority? This is all for you.”


    “Who wants to be the major shareholder of Arcadia? I won’t take the share, so let’s just leave it alone.”


    “...If you go this far and don''t even hand over your stake, don''t you even think about what the world will say to thispany?”


    “That is none of my business.”


    “Ha... it makes me really tired.”


    Minsu wants to hand over the stake and Jaeyoung doesn''t even seem to want to ept it.


    At that time, when this subtle conflict continues. The many possibilities that Jaeyoung possessed were eventuallypletely exhausted.


    [All probabilities have been exhausted.]


    [There is not enough probability to maintain the strong god skill.]


    [The strong god skill has been canceled.]


    Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.


    Jae-young, who had a fierce battle with Asura while possessing a mighty divinity by descending Tan and El at the same time. However, as soon as the spirit skill was released and the full power and power disappeared, Jae-young lost his bnce and began to fall to the ground like a doll with a string in the air.


    But...


    Ugh.


    Jae-young floats in the air again, caught by an unknown aura.


    Then, he saw two beings in front of him.


    [Is the owner okay?]


    [Please go back, owner of the ck mist.]


    “Tan... El...? How do you look like that...?”


    The demon king and archangel appeared not as the usual little imp and baby angel, but in the form of a huge devil and noble and beautiful archangel. Seeing the situation in which the two voluntarily exert their power in this way when the probability has already beenpletely exhausted, Jaeyoung put on a puzzled expression.


    [We can also manifest our power in Arcadia ording to our voluntary will.]


    [Huh! The probabilities I wrote today will be paid off with a vicious interest rate. Look forward to it!]


    Tan, who radiates a will to pay for itter, tells him to wait and see, and L, who smiles as if telling him not to worry. And the two of them soon turned their heads and spoke menacingly towards Asura, emitting powerful divine power and demonic energy.


    [This Arcadia is my district. Don''t spit for nothing and get off to that sloppy territory of yours!]


    [Sorry, but as a guardian angel, I can''t stand to do any more harm to the contractor. I would like you to leave now.]


    As Jaeyoung''s familiar. And as a guardian angel.


    In order to fulfill their duty of assisting and protecting the contractor, Tan and L confidently stand up against Asura, an opponent they would not even be able topete with.


    Minsu, who was looking at the two with an absurd expression, soon smiled.


    “Oh... Come to think of it, there was a method like that?”


    As if he had a good idea, Minsu, who smiled so evilly, said while watching Tan and L rushing at him.


    “Ellis.”


    Whoops.


    Tan and L suddenly stopped attacking and froze at a short word.


    And unlike before, the two of them were moving with a stiff expression like dolls, kneeling in front of Minsu and bowing.


    “Come to think of it... You love these two guys more than anyone else in Arcadia, right? It''s because you''ve been together for the longest time and you, who tend to insist on solo y, don''t have any rtionships with other users.”


    “...What the hell are you trying to do?”


    Tan and L are just NPCs.


    Looking at Minsu, who seemed to be contemting something, looking at the two who hadpletely turned into puppets, Jaeyoung asked with a wary look.


    “ah. not a big deal. Just to change the scenario of this cluttered final chapter a bit.”


    “what....?”


    “Suddenly, I had a good idea. A very good trump number that can make you give up on yourself.”


    A smile full of evil madness just by looking at it. And he yfully touched Tan and El''s wings and said smirkingly.


    “Even so, the 2nd Holy Demon War broke out recently, right? Originally, one of these two should havepletely disappeared and theposition of the demon world and the heaven world should have been reorganized, but you guys prevented that. So, the ending ended in a draw so absurdly that many users copsed.”


    Apletely different and extraordinary ending thatpletely deviated from the original narrative.


    Although it is a world of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, this situation in which all narratives arepletely twisted with one''s own power in this way was certainly not normal.


    “That''s why you are a dangerous being in Arcadia. If not right now, it will inevitably cause great confusion and problems. That’s why I’m struggling to retrieve your character like this.”


    “What the hell are you trying to do...?”


    “Threats won’t work, so... I’ll just give you a choice.”


    “Which one of these two will save?”


    “what....?”


    Jaeyoung asks with a puzzled expression. However, Minsu ordered in a yful tone.


    “Imand in the name of Asura, the master of the ck mist.”


    Wow.


    A prophecy of absolutemand that shakes the world view that supports this world.


    Through the authority of Asura... No, the top manager, Minsu ordered Tan and El... and all the beings in the heavens and demons who were fighting with all their might against the void in the distantnd.


    “Good and evil cannot coexist, so these two will always fight and destroy each other in an eternal struggle and confrontation...”


    Good and evil.


    Invoking the mission given to the two forces from the beginning, Minsu opened the curtain of another war.


    “Fulfill the mission given to each other right here and now.”


    I mean the 3rd Holy Demon War.


    [ording to themand.]


    [Great and righteous judgment of the light on the ugly evil.]


    Kuuuuuuuu.


    Tan and L, who seemed to havepletely lost their sense of self, spat out a short answer in a dry tone and then disappeared in an instant. And Jaeyoung shouted with a distorted expression as he watched the messages announcing the start of the Holy Demon War that filled his eyes.


    “You bastard...!”


    “If you want to save both of them, tell me anytime. If you just give up on your character, I will stop right away.”


    Asura smirking an evil smile full of madness.


    Even after seeing Jaeyoung''s angry expression that seemed genuinely angry, Minsu did not shrink at all and spoke confidently.


    “It''s still 50 years too early for me to be the craziest guy on this, kid.”
