Chapter 2194 – [What Happens When a Constellation Is the Great Demon King]
The reason I go on broadcast is not simply because of Yunho. Ultimately, what is said at the UN General Assembly is about high-ranking people, and the people who will decide the course of their decisions are ultimately ordinary citizens, so it was an opportunity to inform them of related issues.
On the other hand, you can think of using this broadcast instead of the in-room broadcast. Well, going out with Yunho is just for the sake of it.
“When I heard that the Constellation would appear, the people at the broadcasting station were shocked.”
“It’s worth it. But I’m worried that there won’t be any problems. Unlike our district, this district has a lot of broadcasters who are trashy or have no conscience.”
“What’s the Earth like there?”
“Those who talk nonsense about introducing trust scores, those who do not check the facts or do not post corrected articles even when they are judged not to be correct will all have their scores lowered below a certain level, and after that, their journalist qualifications will be revoked.”
“Wow… I’m jealous of that. We’re full of reporters who only post stories on the Internet and write articles.”
“I honestly can’t even remember how many times I’ve made a fuss about those idiots who crossed the line.”
“No, that’s a rather ugly story.”
“If it was only me who was fucking with me, I would have put up with it, but there are some people doing that with my daughter. Those bastards are assholes as they are.”
“Daughter? Uh, did the Constellation have a daughter?”
“How old do you think I am?”
“At best, I’m in my early 30s.”
“Ah, the facial features come into play here.”
I am somewhat of a transcendental person, and I don’t know if it is a characteristic of our family, but my children have been presbyopic since they were young. However, once you get a certain age, you become more youthful and look younger.
Even in Eden, weren’t there people who treated her as an adult rather than a child and manipulated her since she was a minor? When I think about it now, those guys did something to Eden, but they probably thought it was a good thing that they didn’t chase after him and that he was fine.
Anyway, you would have to look at my ID to find out how old I was, but even though I was at least 60 or 70 years old, I still maintained the appearance of someone in my 30s. I even told her that if I put on some makeup and dress up, I would look like I’m in my 20s.
Because I am a transcendental person, I age slowly… Side story When I die of natural causes, I usually die not as an old man, but as a middle-aged person at best.
“Wow, you have a daughter. I wonder what kind of person she is.”
“Wait a minute, I have a family photo, so I’ll show it to you… The silver-haired twins over here are my daughters.”
“? It’s so pretty?!?!?!”
“It’s because she looks like her mother. The little girl who looks exactly like the daughters here is my wife.”
“Wasn’t she the youngest daughter?!?!?!”
Yeah, yeah, that’s a pretty familiar reaction. In the past, when Eden and Zion went out together, there was a lot of misunderstanding that Eden was the wife and Zion was the daughter.
… Actually, on the contrary, I got a lot of strange reactions when I heard that Eden was my daughter and Zion was my wife, but whatever.
There were several people in the family photo I showed. Actually, since Eden was mentioned, only Eden and Eve were introduced, but Cheonmane’s Wia and Lina, and Dowon, who was born with Jihee, were also taken together, making it a huge family photo.
“Who is this person?”
“Ah, Korma. This is my wife too.”
“What about this way?”
“She is Keter. She is my wife too.”
“… Surely the rest of the women aren’t all wives?”
“Except for the kids, everyone is my wife…”
“Is bigamy even allowed in Korea?!?!?”
“Yes!!!! I got married while changing the law!!! What should I do!!!!!”
“No, is it still okay?!”
“How much did I do while I was president of Korea? Reduce prices, eradicate corruption and collusion between politics and business through judicial reform, make electricity free, increase transportation convenience and lower house prices by introducing portal facilities, expand the welfare budget, and even expand national treasury by introducing Jurassic Park. …”
“If you’ve done that much, bigamy is okay. Oh, wait, Jurassic Park?! Dinosaurs?!?! There are dinosaurs?!?!?”
“Look at the dinosaur meat!!! It’s killing me!!!!”
“I’d like to try some of that…”
Later, I decided to bring some dinosaur meat from Horizon and grill it, and for now, I will focus on the broadcast. I am planning to appear in a program about climbers run by a large broadcasting company, and it was the same program that Yunho previously appeared in.
However, this time, the climber will not be the main character, but I will be the main one. The broadcasting company was shocked to hear that I would appear on the show, but at the same time, they were so interested in the scoop that they did not refuse.
“Hmm?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“No, something doesn’t feel right.”
“Ah, that’s similar to what I feel with the [Extra Sensation] Constellation skill, so I think I know roughly.”
“What I gave you was a skill based on my abilities. I recommended something I had experience with and felt was good.”
“Oh, so what happened to the sensitivity 3000 times?”
“There is no need to use 3000x sensitivity. It is not necessary for marital relations, so please be aware of it.”
“If a person with so many wives says something like that, his persuasive power is extraordinary?!?!?!”
Anyway, I appeared on the broadcast. Quite a number of viewers gathered, and Yunho and I attended the broadcast side by side.
The broadcasting staff, as well as the cast members and audience members, looked quite nervous, but they mostly left it alone as there was nothing to worry about. If there is a problem anyway, it won’t be their fault.
“Hello!!! It’s time for ‘Let’s Get to Know the Climber’!!! Today we have a special guest, climber Kang Yun-ho and his constellation [Lord of Winter], Who is actually the Great Demon King!!! Please welcome us with applause!!!!”
Since I was appearing, the applause was so loud that my palms felt like they were going to explode. Honestly, I don’t mean to give a damn about the small applause.
Once the applause stops, the broadcast begins in earnest. Many people expressed their doubts about how I looked no different from an ordinary person, but despite that, I carried out the broadcast with a professional spirit.
“[Lord of Winter], No, the Great Demon King. Which way would it be better to call you?”
“Please call me the Great Demon King. Constellation is a title that will no longer exist in the future. In fact, the name Constellation was only used briefly to infiltrate, but the name of the Great Demon King is bigger.”
“Ah, I understand. Then, Great Demon King. I think the world situation will change a lot in the future. How will it change?”
“Well…”
I organized my thoughts, thought about it for a while, and spoke slowly. I think we should prepare for this by informing people in advance that they will have to overcome and overcome it.
“First of all, it is important for climbers not to sell their belongings.”
“Yes? What does that mean?”
“If the labyrinth trial is introduced in the future, all the strength and items that the climber has will be recovered. However, according to the amount recovered, the public value will be accumulated and can be used in the labyrinth trial.”
I believe in rewarding people for their hard work. But even if it was a ploy by the constellations, what if they just took back the climber’s hard work without compensating him? Instead, it only causes problems.
On the other hand, it is also a policy of its own. Climbers, regardless of whether they are at the lower or higher level, are also rebooting, and they promise to treat them accordingly.
However, there are shortcuts there. To be honest, there were no restrictions on that part, so I just left it alone.
“The merits applied when discarding the Constellation Tower are affected by the climber’s status and the items or artifacts they have. In short, the more you have and the more high-ranking a climber you are, the more likely you are to have an advantage in the Labyrinth Trial. So, it is better to keep the items you have. I will.”
“But due to the closure of the Constellation Tower, the current price…”
“Of course, some of them will get a good price if sold. Likewise, the price range will be determined by those who prepare to get a better position in the Labyrinth Trial. But in the end, it is your choice.”
If you are in a hurry for cash, now is the best time to sell. Even trivial miscellaneous items will be calculated at a later date.
But there won’t be as many people selling it as you think. Climbers will try to climb higher based on their experience, but someone who gives up and sells what they have is at best someone who has given up on becoming a challenger.
“I see… Ah, but there is talk that the status window, including the game system, will disappear in the newly introduced Labyrinth Trial. What do you think about that?”
“Oh, that will be gone.”
“Yes? Are you sure?”
“Of course. What comes from such status is that a person’s value is expressed in numbers. They only look at the specifications without paying attention to the individual’s personality or effort. That is why the game system must be discarded.”
Whether it’s personal or anti-demon, I think the game system must be destroyed. The constellations were shit, but if it weren’t for the game system, I would have viewed them more favorably than I do now.
Human value should not be clearly judged by numbers. At the very least, the labyrinth trial has its own meaning as the challenge itself has meaning, and the clear tier is approximate rather than certain.
“But wouldn’t that cause inconvenience? A person whose status does not meet the required standards would apply…”
“Then your MC doesn’t have enough intelligence to be the host, but he’s still here?”
“Yes?”
“Look at this. The light joke I heard just now is embarrassing, but what would it be like if so many people experienced it? So, stats shouldn’t be used to judge a person’s worth.”
“Ah, yes…”
In a society where standards are divided by stats, you should think that you will also be divided by those stats. I don’t know if you can build it up with effort, but if you decide it’s something you’re born with, it’s shitty.
When the broadcast was going well, something I was worried about happened. It exploded not at the broadcasting station but among the audience.
Climbers among the audience took out weapons and bombs using their inventory and rushed at me. He immediately jumps out of his seat, throws a bomb, swings a knife and shouts.
“Give us the freedom to climb!!!!!!!”
“The Great Demon King must die!!!!!!!!!!!”
I thought so. Climbers are a vested class in this world. I was trying to destroy those vested interests, but I didn’t think there wouldn’t be people who would rebel.
However, I chose the wrong opponent. To the opponent who already knew everything and was prepared, their actions were nothing more than an insignificant incident.
The bomb that was meant to kill the entire broadcasting station ended up being covered by my force field and just exploded a little. The tip of the knife that the climbers were stabbing at me was unable to reach me, and the tip of the knife trembled and shook.
“Huh…?”
“Are you done? Then how should we deal with these guys…”
I used my telekinesis to subdue all the climbers who tried to commit terrorism against me. They are all caught in the air and begin to suffer.
While I was wondering what to do, a rather good idea occurred to me. Honestly, killing them is easy, but for stubborn people like them, there is a better punishment than killing them.
If you really want to make someone suffer, you have to save them and make them suffer. First, I told the story to Sienne.
[Are you watching by any chance? If you see this, take away all the climbers’ qualifications and take back everything they have.]
[ㅇㅇ, I did.]
[And remember the name so that you cannot register as a challenger in the labyrinth trial later.]
[Oh, I did that too, so don’t worry.]
They did this because they did not want to give up their vested rights as existing climbers. Even if I die, their outcome won’t change, but what can a fool not do?
So, the biggest punishment for them was to let them know that they could never again be part of the vested interests like they are now. Taking away everything he has and even taking away his opportunities is punishment enough.
If he were to be used in a terrorist attack like this, he must be a skilled climber… But later on, he can’t even become a challenger, which anyone can become, and lives as an ordinary person? If you sell what you have, you might be able to become rich, but now you have to get it all back and your power as a climber is taken away much earlier than others?
Well then, what have I said? The sense of loss that comes from that. The feeling of inferiority that others are making progress, but you are not is likely to be very strong.
“Hey, you guys have all your mountaineer qualifications revoked. How does it feel to be an ordinary person?”
“Huh? Huh?!?!?!”
“Skill!!! Power!!!! No, why!!!!!”
“So, who can say such a damn thing? It’s not like I was ignoring the existing climbers at all, and I said I would take care of them if they worked hard, but by blindly following the existing constellation’s tower… I’m doing you karma. You shouldn’t ever climb up again for the rest of your life. Try rolling on the bottom because you won’t even be issued a Labyrinth Trial Challenger qualification.”
“Now, wait!!! Wait a minute!!!!!!”
“Oh, Great Demon King!!!! Actually, I did that because I was threatened!!!! It wasn’t my intention!!!!!!”
“Why are you talking nonsense in front of me? You’re even more scandalous, so I’ll have to make a bad leg and send you away.”
“Sleep, wow!!!!!!”
The guy who tried to deceive me with a trivial lie will end up with a sore leg. Since I destroyed it myself using my will, it won’t recover easily even if I use potions or something like that.
It would probably take more than a thousand bottles of this potion to recover… The water essence would be similar, so in reality, it would not be possible to recover for a lifetime. Since all my assets have been virtually confiscated, I will have to live as an idiot for the rest of my life.
After roughly wrapping up the situation, I returned to the filming set. I filmed everything that happened, but the cast members didn’t look very good.
“Let’s keep filming. Is there a problem?”
“Yes? Yes… Then let’s move on to the next question. Um, what are you going to do if we refuse to close the Constellation Tower?”
“We, the Great Demon Lords, consider it important to reflect. Even if you make a big mistake, if you reflect on it and try to correct it, they will look at it at least once. But, even though a lot of harmful effects have occurred due to the Constellation Tower and you have been given the opportunity, they do not reflect? If they decide that is the case, they will immediately call another Great Demon King and ask the constellations. I will judge you like this and exterminate human beings.”
“…”
“Of course, this is a story about leaving it alone without reflecting on it. Surely no one would fix it even though we talked about it this much and advised to fix it?”
If you make a mistake, you will be summoned once more. So behave yourself well!!!!!
