## Chapter 1651 – Swordsman From Another World – Heavenly Demon Constellation

The interrogation continues.

“So, with the power of this status window, you become a superhuman. And by using this power, you clear towers or dungeons? The abilities get stronger if you do. By catching and killing the monsters inside? Right?”
“Y-yes… that’s right.”
“And as you grow, you can also acquire skills or items. Is that right?”
“Y-yes, that’s right.”

After summarizing, it’s even more amazing.

“Holy shit, it’s just like Lineage.”

You gain experience by catching monsters. You level up with that and increase your strength. Isn’t this exactly like a game system?

“Kim Malsu would go crazy if he came here.”

Why is something like this possible?

This is only possible if the divine beings of this world understand games or entertainment. Because they’re directly creating this game system and applying it to humans.

“How long has this history been going on?”
“Th-that, I don’t know the details. Other than that the world suddenly changed one day, and several decades have passed since then…”

The world suddenly changed several decades ago.

“Alright. Keep explaining.”
“Th-that… Ah, about how to grow. Sometimes the gods give quests… and if you clear them, you can gain more power.”

Quests appeared.

“What kind of quests?”
“They tell you to collect something, or hunt something. It’s really diverse. The beings that give quests are all gods, so… you can’t predict it.”
“Are there a lot of gods?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
“Good. I roughly understand.”

Numerous gods are playing with humans using the power of this status window as bait.

“But where is this?”
“I-it’s a secret dungeon.”
“Secret dungeon?”
“Yes… it was suddenly discovered… and when I tried to clear it and receive the reward…”
“I came out, is that it?”
“Yes. U-originally, items or skills should have appeared, but those are nowhere to be seen…”
“Are you blaming me right now?”
“No! No, I’m not!”

While saying that, I briefly checked the traces of the dimension.

“Let’s see.”

I went up to the altar where the gate had opened and read the power. It doesn’t seem like the divine beings of this world intentionally called me.

“As expected.”

It was a coincidence.

Looking closely, it seemed to be a device that creates dimensional rifts. It’s not fixed, but rather a random firing type.

Well, if you just keep making holes, you might even reach our dimension. So, monsters from other dimensions could cross over. It would be a reward like a random gacha in the truest sense.

But I happened to come.

Why? Because I was observing that entire dimension. If an anomaly occurred, I could go there immediately. That’s why I got caught. These bastards were just unlucky.

If I wasn’t a god, it would have just been a dud… No, if I wasn’t a god, the Lich would have won, so a demon controlled by the Lich might have crossed over.

“Fucking bastards. They think dealing with dimensions is some child’s play.”
“Yes?”
“Never mind.”

I gather information.

After listening to this bastard’s explanation, I understand.

“Status window. Level. Dungeon… all these ridiculous game-like things.”

In short, the divine beings of this world were playing with humanity like toys for their own `amusement`.

“Heathen bastards.”

They’re treating the foundation of human life like a game board.

Status window? A suddenly appearing tower? Dungeons that give rewards along with experience when cleared? Items that give special powers?

There’s no way that kind of thing would arise naturally.

Someone made it.

And the only beings who could make something like that are divine beings. To summarize, this is nothing more than putting humans on a game board they created.

“Truly evil gods.”

Bastards who treat humanity like toys. This Kim Gatta calls those guys evil gods. Targets for extermination.

Apparently, there are also extremely self-serving quests, such as killing specific people or causing terror.

“The intentions are very impure.”

They’re satisfying their sadistic desires with power as bait.

It’s not like they gave the status window and power to prevent disaster or fight against a great evil. The dungeons, towers, and monsters were all created by the gods. And they’re telling people to clear them, causing this ruckus.

“A lot of people die while climbing dungeons or towers, right?”
“Yes. Many die. And the monsters that come out of there sometimes attack villages… Also, there are many places where demons are overflowing as towers rise.”

Furthermore.

Reading his thoughts, people who have gained strong power using the status window are called rankers, and they are wielding power as they please.

“People without a status window are just a slave class, or something similar.”
“W-we don’t treat them that badly, but…”
“Yes or no.”
“Y-yes, that’s right. Th-that’s why some people risk their lives and enter towers or dungeons to survive.”
“Then they give you a status window?”
“It depends on the probability… but there are cases where they give it.”
“Geez.”

Heavy taxes are imposed, and labor continues. A class system has been created because of the status window.

They’re creating and enjoying this hellish society.

“This Heavenly Demon Kim Gatta will not forgive such scum.”

It seemed I had entered a dimension in need of salvation again. The humanity of this world will worship me.

I have to get rid of the evil gods.

“Hey. Stay still.”
“Yes?”

I immediately touched his status window. The strings attached to it.

“An alien power, huh.”

If I use this, I might be able to pinpoint the location of the evil gods… but it’s still an unknown power. I can’t read it properly. It’s tricky when the dimensions are different.

Because the types of power used are different, I can’t just do whatever I want from the start.

“I’ll have to give up tracking them down right now. I have no choice but to adapt to this side and gather clues.”

Humanity with status windows.

They were all on top of the evil gods’ demons. In my estimation, they can die just because of the evil gods’ whims or for reasons equivalent to that.

This status window can be seen as a bomb necklace.

It’s like a hologram window with specific numerical values ​​written on it. That means that power is intricately involved, and they can explode it as much as they want.

“And on top of that, quests.”

The gods can directly stick quests to them.

“Damn troublesome.”

Therefore, if I openly reveal my power and hunt down the gods… in the worst case, these evil gods might go berserk and kill all the humans they have on a leash with the status window.

Or they might use quests as bait to make them resist me. It’s difficult in many ways.

If the evil gods threaten to kill countless humans, I can’t just accept it, but I have to stop it if possible. I can’t just stand by and watch such evil deeds. If possible, I have to go in the direction of saving humans.

For now, it would be good to investigate while hiding my identity, figure out the power and location of the evil gods, and then kill them secretly.

To do that, I need to learn about the rules of this world and interpret the power.

As they say, I can decide on the type of punishment after experiencing the world directly.

“Th-Heavenly Demon-nim?”
“What.”
“Are you going to save me?”
“If you want to live, show me that inventory thing.”
“Yes…”

ㅡZziiing.

The inventory was attached to his bracelet. When he put his hand inside, all kinds of equipment popped out.

ㅡClatter.

[Barbarian’s Roar Armor]
[Arrogant One’s Bracelet]
[Nightmare Sword Valdius]
[Return Scroll]
[Enhancement Stone]
[Skill Extractor]

“Damn it. All the items and consumables were made by the gods, right?”
“S-some consumables and basic items can be made by humans too.”
“Oh. Okay.”

But there’s something that stands out.

“What’s that return scroll?”
“I-it’s a scroll that opens a portal to return to the starting village. Usually, after finishing exploring a dungeon or tower like this, you tear it and return to the original village.”

What?!

“Wow! Holy shit! Really?!”
“Y-yes…?”
“You’re saying you can make that space-time gate with such a consumable?”
“Th-that’s right, but…?”

What the fuck is this nonsense!

“Holy shit. I can only freely use gate summoning after becoming a god… and you’re saying you put it in a scroll that any dog or cow can use?”

It seemed like the evil gods of this world were not ordinary. A dimension portal scroll that any dog or cow can use?

“Ah, but it’s not a panacea. You can only use it inside dungeons or towers…”
“That’s still amazing, you bastard. Then if I tear this, I can go to that starting village?”
“Yes… that’s right.”

Then let’s go and take a look.

I’ll take a look at the social structure here. There are also priests, so I can dig up some information about the gods.

Now that the evil gods are holding the lifelines of humans as status windows, I can’t go too far. I need to act as carefully as possible.

“I’ll take this.”
“P-please take it all. But by any chance, are you thinking of going to the village?”
“Yeah. And.”
“Th-then please save me too. Guoeok!”

His words couldn’t continue.

ㅡKwaang!

Because I smashed his head.

“Hehehe, a murderous robber trying to survive.”

Reading his memories, he had a history of massacring merchants because of some quest. Then I can’t let him live. Killing an innocent person he doesn’t even know for the sake of the evil god’s amusement is, in itself, heretical.

“Then, what about our other friends? Let’s check their records!”

I immediately read the memories of the other three people I had subdued, and they all had unforgivable records, so I handed down punishment.

“Welcome to Sugarcane Land!”

ㅡAaaaaaaagh!
ㅡEuaaaaaagh!
ㅡEoeoeoeoeoeok!

I put them all in the sugarcane field and tore the scroll.

ㅡHwareureuk.

Then let’s go to that starting village.

* * *

When I crossed the gate, a magnificent square unfolded.

“Wow. These bastards are pretty good.”

They really put a dimension gate in a scroll?
