Chapter 2195 – [What Happens When a Constellation Is the Great Demon King]
The broadcast I did was a little low due to terrorists, but the people at the broadcasting station aired it because they thought it would get higher viewer ratings. Thanks to this, what I said during the broadcast became more credible.
If you don’t change, you fall behind. The constellations were brutally beaten, but there were very few who would not be alarmed by those words.
No, there were terrorists, but they probably weren’t in their right mind right now. After investigating and catching them all, they were disqualified from climbing and were not allowed to register for the labyrinth trial.
-Top materials, equipment, supplies!!! Anything, hurry!!!!!
-Fuck, I sold all the miscellaneous items I had!!!!!
-How many items do you have to collect to be safe? Isn’t it true that artifacts and equipment are treated the same way?
-Do you have an artifact? 300 million calls because it doesn’t matter the purpose?
-No.
-Fuck you, sell it!!!!!
When the labyrinth trial is introduced in the future, bonuses to existing climbers will be reflected in various factors such as equipment and status. However, in the current situation where climbing itself is blocked, there is no way to increase the stats, so all that is left is to fill the inventory with miscellaneous items.
But inventory has its limits. Although miscellaneous items contain their own faith points, they are minimal and considering efficiency, artifacts or something like that is much better.
That is why hoarding occurs. Since the important thing was value and not purpose, even artifacts that were worthless were priced at high prices, and even miscellaneous items began to be sold at considerable prices. This is because some people were unable to properly receive bonuses during the labyrinth trial due to empty inventory due to selling even miscellaneous items.
“Oh, this is the creative economy. As expected, the president who achieved economic revival is different.”
“No, if you really think about it, you have a longer career as a monarch than me, so what are you talking about? You are the Great Demon King who is in charge of ruling in the first place.”
“I, the great demon king of such domination, think well of him, so wouldn’t that mean he’s doing well?”
“What kind of president would kill someone if he made a mistake?”
“If you stand above others, you can kill people. Because the ruler is completely different from the ruled. Instead of a democratic president, think of him as a monarch from the medieval or modern era. He would probably have made a name for himself as a saint among saints.”
“What am I saying about Seong-gun?”
Anyway, the time has come. It is time to reclaim the strength of climbers and introduce the labyrinth trial in earnest.
He gave the final command to the Constellation Tower. All the tower’s facilities and resources, as well as everything the climbers own, are recovered and a labyrinth island is created based on that.
[From now on, we will introduce the Labyrinth Trial and collect all climber-related items and forces. Now, stop whining and asking for it to be done a little later.]
And the recovery operation begins. Climbers lose their power and all the items and artifacts they worked hard to obtain turn into powder of light and disappear. All that remains are the faith points recovered from the Constellation Tower.
The powers of the remaining constellations in the Constellation Tower are quite omnipotent, so creating an island using those points is not a task. Because it was their power to create the hierarchical environment inside the Constellation Tower in the first place.
The faith points collected and the Constellation Tower itself turn into a halo of light, soon creating a huge island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Although it is called an island, the island is so large that it can be seen from space, and it seemed like it would be a good enough place to operate as a country for challengers.
“Ah…”
As Yunho collected the climbers’ strength, he felt a sense of helplessness and emptiness. As a climber, I only wanted to taste sweet water for a few months, but now that’s over.
I comforted him so that he wouldn’t get frustrated. The strength I had built up until now was gone, but in the end, it was the strength I had built up in just a few months. If you put in effort in the labyrinth trial, you can recover even if it takes some time.
“It is a power that is easy for others to take away. All you have to do is build up your full strength again in the labyrinth trial that cannot be taken away by anyone.”
“… Yes, I will try my best, Constellation.”
Now that we have created the island, we will also work on related systems. For example, the convenience aspect of the Challenger.
Climbers had the skill to go to and from the Constellation Tower at any time. Although our Earth, where the portal facility was located, was not particularly restricted, it was usually not that easy to travel to and from an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, if you think about it normally, you would just stay on Labyrinth Island and climb, but there are people who want to climb at home, so you have to be careful. We also decided to add services related to space movement.
“Instead, it’s a flat rate plan, so you have to pay every month.”
“Otherwise, there are definitely people who are taking advantage of it. There have been climbers who committed crimes before and jumped to the Constellation Tower.”
You might think that the land on Labyrinth Island is not that important since you can act as a challenger from your own home, but that is not the case at all. Rather, in a modern society where territorial disputes are prohibited, new land was created, and its value was even higher as it would be in the spotlight as a city of challengers in the future.
It would be more valuable than Starion, the city of climbers in the Constellation Tower. Even if we try to intervene on a national level, only climbers can go there, so we have no choice but to use help through climbers. But here, we can do it more easily.
And in that regard, we decided to accommodate the Tiara Guild. Oh, just in case, it’s not favoritism, it’s convenience. They fully deserve that convenience.
“All the strength and equipment you’ve accumulated have been reduced to points, right?”
“Yes? Yes, that’s true, but…”
“Existing climbers can use those points to choose various things in the Labyrinth Island Trial. It’s okay to choose new equipment or something, but I personally think it’s better to purchase land on Labyrinth Island. What do you think?”
“Ah, then I will follow your opinion.”
There is no need for excessive points for Tiara guild members. Of course, it was necessary to some extent for a quick start, but their strength did not come from skills or stats, but from experience.
Since he was an apostle, he may have had constellation skills, but even so, since he was an abandoned apostle, there was no further support, so he must have ascended on his own, so he knows how to get up on his own. So, if you wanted to use your remaining points effectively, it was better to buy land.
Moreover, given what we have done so far, we will be able to manage Labyrinth Island well. I would leave it to the trial side, but it would be better if there was a middle management position.
“Yunho, I’ll choose a few martial arts that suit you, so learn them. If you have any leftover points, use them to buy equipment. I can’t do more than this, so you’ll have to go up on your own…”
“No, this is enough. Thank you for your help, Constellation.”
“That’s because it’s no longer a constellation.”
It will take a long time to build an airport and anything else on Labyrinth Island. There are already various people who are trying to land… Sigh, I’m trying to finish it and leave, but suddenly I feel like I’m getting angry again.
“I ported the Constellation Tower system to the Labyrinth Island Trial and made it possible to view Gaia Records. From now on, they will take care of it.”
“Now I just have to let them take care of themselves.”
“But how do you do that?”
Sienne pointed out something, and it turned out that some of the people who had landed had taken over a part of the island and were setting up camp. Trial will directly manage the land on Labyrinth Island, so there is no point in occupying it in that way.
Other countries were relatively cautious even when they landed, and even if they sent troops, they were more of an escort for the challenger hopefuls, not an attempt to occupy them. Looking at the flag of those who do such things out of greed for land, they are…
“It’s China?”
“The land is big, but I don’t like the fact that they’re doing something embarrassing to take over an island far away.”
“Are these Chinese bastards the same here? China’s Doomsday season… No, I don’t even know what number it is now. Anyway, I want to destroy it.”
“Do we need to do anything? We have to pay for our bullshit.”
We are slowly trying to let go, but if we use our hands, it will look strange. So, I raise an objection to the Constellation Tower system, which has now become a complete labyrinth trial.
It is a system that maintains neutrality among the troublemaking constellations and operates the constellation tower. Now, they will move independently, free from our interference, but if we decide that the issues we propose are reasonable, we will reflect them.
“Trial. The Chinese are taking over without permission. What are you going to do?”
[Gaia Record Access. The occupying force understood that this was an issue resulting from an order from the Chinese Communist Party. We will recognize this action as an official action of the Chinese national government and impose a penalty on them.]
“Okay, try it.”
If you have a Gaia record, you can’t do anything like that, unless you do it on Earth. How can you do that when it’s all clear who gave the order and what was done?
Trial immediately took action. They do not just show it through actions, but they convey their will to all mankind and make their atrocities known by striking down all public notices.
[This is a notice to all people on Earth. Currently, the People’s Republic of China is illegally occupying Labyrinth Island, a neutral territory, creating grounds for conflict. Because they did not purchase the land as a reasonable transaction through a trial, their occupation is not recognized, and a penalty will be imposed on all of China as they acted under orders from the Chinese government.]
And the penalty given by the trial was not simply banishment from the island. Since it is meant as a warning and example to other countries, I don’t feel like the punishment was more severe, but considering what the Chinese did from the beginning, I think it’s a good thing.
[After this, for one year, Chinese nationals will not be able to enter Labyrinth Island and will not be able to register as challengers. Occupying forces will be immediately expelled from the island and sent to Chinese territory.]
Come to think of it, wasn’t that there? China’s ridiculous shutdown system that only allows gaming for one hour a day. Considering the regulation of not playing games at all, China’s attitude towards something similar was quite ironic.
In any case, the Chinese occupation force disappeared immediately. The entire fleet they brought with them also disappeared, probably being sent to the waters off China somewhere.
“Hey, if you can’t log in for a year and come in as a latecomer, it’s not good to have vested rights.”
“It’s the fault of those who put the first button in wrong. So who’s going to insist that it’s mine?”
Of course, China did not remain quiet. They say they are neutral, but they say bullshit like they are discriminating against China and that Trial’s actions are no different from those of the Constellations.
No, the only thing that is no different from the constellations are those who tried to plant a flag on the land they own from the beginning…
Since Chinese nationals cannot enter Labyrinth Island, the Chinese government sent agents of other nationalities into Labyrinth Island to question Trial. However, Trial had no intention of repaying the punishment that had already been handed down, and rather, perhaps due to my influence, China did not reflect and came out with a red flag and did not seem to look good.
[This is a notice to all people on Earth. Currently, China, without any sign of reflection, continues to raise objections, claiming that the punishment is unfair because it occurred due to a misunderstanding or misunderstanding. We present evidence to prove that they attempted to occupy Labyrinth Island under the orders of the Chinese government. This is a final warning, and if the Chinese government does not change its attitude, we will use the last resort.]
Neutrality is also neutrality. Would you be neutral if you stay still while there is an argument going on? On the contrary, if you don’t punish someone for doing something that is a nuisance, it wouldn’t be neutral.
Trial distributed all materials and videos on the Internet related to the Chinese government’s order to occupy Labyrinth Island. China tried to block it with its famous information regulations, but in the end, it was just a matter of circumventing it, and when they brought in ugly evidence that could not be uncovered, they forgot about saving face and began to use force.
They sent a fleet as if they were planning to bomb Labyrinth Island… Well, other countries did not stay still, but Trial took action before they could move.
[Confirmation of intention to attack Labyrinth Island. We will send the fleet back to China.]
Trial sent the Chinese fleet attempting to bomb Labyrinth Island back to China. However, rather than sending them to the sea off China like the previous occupation forces, they were thrown on land, near the official residences of the Chinese President, Standing Committee members, etc.
A ship crashed near my house. Are you okay? The lucky ones live and the bad ones die. Trial didn’t say it was the last warning for nothing.
[I can currently know the location of all Chinese Communist Party leaders in real time. If they continue to engage in this evil behavior without reflection, we will summon the Chinese leaders who will make the decision and then dispose of them.]
At that point, the Chinese also gave up. It was only when those in power who ran the Chinese Communist Party realized that their lives were in danger that the incident finally came to an end.
Instead, other countries became wary of the Labyrinth Trial… Well, it’s much better than taking it lightly.
“But isn’t that a bit extreme? Do you think it will have any influence?”
“Well, the concept of trials was important when creating the labyrinth trial, so I put my will into it…”
“Then it’ll be okay because I’ll keep the line. I thought you resembled those constellations again.”
“If you resemble me, I wonder if you will explode one day and destroy humanity.”
[The work is not much different from when it was under the Constellation Tower system, so there is no need to worry.]
“… In other words, aren’t the constellations’ troubles and humanity’s mischief similar?”
[I will not deny it.]
I don’t know whether I should say that it is amazing in a bad sense that human atrocities are comparable to those of the Constellations, or I should be dumbfounded that the Constellations’ actions are at the level of humans and that they are like human gods in a bad sense.
Besides, this is an Earth where there are no people like me or Heavenly Demon, right? Shouldn’t we mediate and cover all the troubles that people on Earth make?
Wow, I’m sorry, here’s the trial!!!!!!!
