Chapter 253

Kyrgios had accepted three disciples so far . One was after his first transcendence and another was 50 years later . Then he didn’t accept any disciples for a while .

It was because all his previous disciples had died . One was to the successor of the Heavenly Demon School . The other was to the Blood Demon School .

It was the events triggered by these two deaths that made the ‘Paradox Baekchung’ Kyrgios Rodgraim become famous . Enraged by his disciples’ deaths, Kyrgios struck the homes of the Heavenly Demon School and the Blood Demon School . It wasn’t known exactly what happened in Murim at that time . One thing was for certain…

Half of the 100,000 Great Mountain Ranges became a bare mountain . The Blood Demon School withdrew its forces from the First Murim .

100 years later, Kyrgios once again accepted a disciple . Kyrgios asked the disciple whom he met after much trouble .

[…What is this about?]

“This poor disciple is greeting you . ”

Kyrgios looked at his disciple with a bitter expression . This was the last disciple he received with his heart .

[I asked you . Why is it like this?]

This disciple wasn’t talented and didn’t have any spots to like . The moment they met, he acted familiar and like they knew each other for a long time . He was ‘friendly’ to the Paradox Baekchung . The paradox was so bizarre that Kyrgios wanted to learn a bit about him .

“I’ve been to the First Murim . ”

Kyrgios glared at his disciple who was covered in blood . He was a person full of mischief on Peace Land . The reason Kyrgios didn’t punish him for the sin of stealing the technique and fleeing was because he saved Kyrgio’s planet .

Thus, Kyrgios waited . Someday, his disciple would reflect on himself and show up again . Yet his disciple appeared like this…

Kyrgios’ eyes narrowed as he spoke . [There are traces of the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship from your wounds . ]

“…”

[Did you encounter the disciple of the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint? Or was it the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint?]

The disciple didn’t answer . Kyrgios’ force became stronger .

[Answer me . ]

The entire industrial complex wriggled like a trampled bug . The presence spread and all the Kim Dokjas in the industrial complex kneeled from the pain . It was just a wave of magic power but it was like he showed off his ‘status . This was the presence of the Paradox Baekchung . The only one who didn’t kneel was his disciple .

“I didn’t want you to see me like this . ”

[What does that mean?]

“I have defiled the name of Baekchung . ”

[…]

“Please kill me . ”

Kyrgios’ eyebrows wriggled at the words . It was because he remembered the message he received before coming here .

-Please kill me .

Kyrgios small teeth made a sound as they grinded together .

[It is true that I came to punish you . But…]

His disciple was beaten up in a distant place . Moreover, it was a situation where his disciple told him to kill him because his disciple couldn’t overcome the disgrace .

In such a situation, what type of teacher could punish his student? There would certainly be such a teacher but at the very least, Kyrgios wasn’t like that .

[…Why are you so keen to be killed?]

“…”

[Foolish guy . ]

Kyrgios turned his back to his disciple . He didn’t know what happened to his prideful disciple but he would find out if he went to Murim .

[Did you say it was the First Murim?]

His disciple didn’t answer but Kyrgios was already moving .

[That world will know that there is a ‘paradox’ above the ‘breaking the sky . ’]

***

Kyrgios left and the war clouds over the industrial complex disappeared like they had been washed away . In the places where Kyrgios passed, the aspiring Kim Dokjas were lying down .

“U-Uhh… uwaaah!”

I saw those who wanted to be me and felt very complicated . Jang Hayoung asked, “…Was it too much?”

It wasn’t a question for the aspiring Kim Dokjas . I stared at the portal that Kyrgios disappeared through and said, “That’s the only way to move him . ”

Kyrgios had already lost two disciples to Murim . In order to send him to the First Murim, I was forced to make a cowardly excuse .

“What if he kills the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint?”

“Don’t worry about it . ” I responded while placing a story fragment on the wounds caused by Jang Hayoung .

It seemed that Kyrgios was going to get revenge for me but it remained to be seen how things would turn out . A transcendent of Kyrgios’ level would notice the trouble occurring in the First Murim .

[You have triggered a new sub scenario . ]

Perhaps by now, Kyrgios would’ve gained a sub scenario to intervene in the First Murim . Kyrgios was also unhappy with the outer gods . Once he found out the situation, he would be forced to help the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint .

“You should be more worried about us . ”

“What? Why?”

“Originally, Kyrgios shouldn’t appear here . ”

Despite the countless crises I had experienced, I didn’t call Kyrgios thought Jang Hayoung . I originally intended to call him during the Demon King Selection .

However, I used that card to save the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint . I didn’t know if it was the wrong choice but at least it was an honourable choice .

I looked up at the night sky .

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is watching you with anxious eyes . ]

Some stars were worried about me .

[Some constellations are smiling at you . ]

Some stars were taking my crisis as an opportunity . I smiled bitterly towards those stars . “If you’ve seen enough, can you make a decision now?”

I took a deep breath and declared towards the sky . “I’m the real Kim Dokja . ”

The conversation with Kyrgios was open to the public and no further proof was needed . The stars in the night sky shone at the same time .

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire admits that you are the real Kim Dokja . ]

[The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband admits that you are the real Kim Dokja . ]

[The constellation Queen of the Darkest Spring admits that you are the real Kim Dokja . ]

.

.

[A very small number of constellations disagree with the results . ]

Those who wanted something else disagreed but this was a majority vote .

[Many constellations recognize you as the real Kim Dokja . ]

[You have been recognized as the real Kim Dokja . ]

[The hidden scenario has been completed!]

[200,000 coins have been acquired as a scenario reward . ]

The faces of the aspiring Kim Dokjas started to change one by one . The mosaic scattered and their real faces were exposed to the sky . For the first time, the citizens confirmed the true owner of the industrial complex and cried out with amazement . “Kim Dokja! The real Kim Dokja!”

“T-The master of this industrial complex is back…!”

More messages popped up .

[You have formally inherited the former Gilobat Industrial Complex . ]

[The former Gilobat Industrial Complex has been officially declared as the Kim Dokja Industrial Complex . ]

[Your notoriety is spreading in the Demon World!]

[Your fame is strengthening your current stories . ]

A bright light surrounded my body and my stories were further strengthened .

[You are the ‘duke’ of the industrial complex . ]

Soon, a lonely fight would begin .

***

After the situation settled down, the first place I headed to was Mark’s office in the heart of the industrial complex .

“…I’m ashamed . ”

“No, you did well . ”

Riots occurred due to the Kim Dokja Game and Mark and other officials were detained . I patted Mark on the shoulder and comforted him . “You did your best . ”

No one, including Mark, would’ve been able to stop the Kim Dokja Game . In the first place, it was an event that occurred because I went away . It was thanks to Mark that the industrial complex was maintained to this extent . In fact, Mark was a mercenary leader on his home planet and possessed a very high level Crowd Control skill .

I listened to Mark’s report on the surrounding trends .

“There is news of war coming from everywhere . ”

A group of people exiting the industrial complex could be seen from the office window . Some of them were people who just participated in the scenario and others weren’t .

“A war can’t be done alone . Don’t you know?”

“It is foolish to hold onto those who have no will to fight . ”

Most of them would die from the penalty of ‘leaving the scenario area . ’ Even so, they decided to move . It meant the situation was desperate .

[The population of the industrial complex is decreasing and the power of the Factory is reduced . ]

The story weapon, the Factory was maintained through the work of the citizens . It was natural for the power to go down once the labour force shrank . However, I spoke like it wasn’t a big deal . “We can’t see the outcome with just the power of the industrial complex . The main focus of the enemy isn’t the industrial complex anyway . ”

I had to deal with Melledon and Bercan . Melledon had joined hands with Vedas while Bercan was working with Papyrus .

It shouldn’t be a direct alliance with the nebulae based on the scale of the alliance . They had probably just contracted with some constellations of the nebulae .

Nevertheless, it was a power that couldn’t be ignored . It was still unknown but in the Demon King Selection, perhaps I would have to fight at least 10 constellations .

“Is there a plan?”

To be honest, the odds weren’t very high . I had just become a constellation and it would be suicidal to fight them, even with Yoo Jonghyuk’s help .

“I have a way . ”

I couldn’t say it now . There were too many eyes watching .

[Many constellations are admiring your ambition!]

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is wondering what that means . ]

[2,000 coins have been sponsored . ]

In fact, there were a few things that I had thought about . It would’ve been impossible before but now it was possible . Before I could use these methods, there was something I had to check first .

[The Fourth Wall is wriggling . ]

It read my mind and responded . I slowly blinked as I thought, ‘I need your help . ’

It would know what I wanted to say without me needing to open my mouth .

‘Let me see my Attributes Window . ’

Until now, I have somehow fought without properly knowing my information .

Until now .

[The Fourth Wall is shaking nervously . ]

It would be difficult to do so from now on . It would be hard to know the enemy without knowing myself . I already knew a bit about the enemy so I had to know about ‘myself . ’
