Steel-Eating Player - Chapter 220

Episode 220 [Created God]

————————

With a thump— Lee Hyun-wook’s body was shattered into pieces.

“……..”

At that moment, the whole world was filled with silence.

“…….”

No one could make any sound… So did Lee Hyun-wook’s colleagues, including Kim Se-hee, Park Jun-mo, Seo Eun-ha, Woo Seong-moon, and Emilia Müller. They were unable to react, not because they were shocked, but rather because they could not believe it.

The scene where a seemingly absolute hero who had never been defeated before evaporates into a handful of blood… was not realistic at all.

“Huh… Now this is our answer to your defiance.”

Saying so, the administrator—a woman known by her human name as Nicole—regenerated the blown lower half of her body and levitated pieces of Lee Hyun-wook’s corpse into the air.

“—No!”

“이런 개새끼야!”

Then, belatedly, Park Jun-mo and Kim Se-hee came out in angrily, but the players around them tried to dissuade them.

Watching the scene with interest, Nicole began to stir up the mana contained in his body through the power of the ‘system’, and the blood throbbed in that piece of flesh. A sob flowed out.

And although the players were invisible, the red nets were moving delicately, collecting the blue mana particles tangled in Lee Hyun-wook’s nervous system one by one.

But……

“Huh? “How did this happen?”

She tilted her head with a very embarrassed expression.

This is because the ‘data’ that was inside Lee Hyun-wook’s body and had to be hastily collected was disappearing in real time.

Then a question began to engulf her mind and her face turned pale.

Where on earth are they going?

***

‘I… died.’

Lee Hyun-wook had an intuition that he was dead.

‘No, my body disintegrated.’

In other words, he faced biological death.

However, Lee Hyun-wook was no longer just a living being, and he fully understood the super-substance called ‘mana’ and began to fragment and contain his spirit within mana.

Therefore, other ways of existence other than biological survival became possible… He was able to exist fragmented within multiple mana.

He realized in real time how to weave mana into his nervous system more sharply and precisely.

Accordingly, like an advanced computer, his intuition analyzed all phenomena at an incredible speed and began to learn how to manipulate all materials.

Furthermore, he was able to sense invisible areas, such as dimensional walls and the energy behind them…

He defined this moment like this.

‘…It is transcendence.’

Yes, he was now experiencing transcendence in the true sense of the word.

But the current situation was not all that good.

‘…If this continues, my will will evaporate in a few seconds.’

His senses were fading very quickly.

‘At present, this mana can only maintain its function if it is connected to the nervous system of an intelligent body.’

To describe this point, data called ‘mana’ could only be input and output if it was stored in a storage medium called ‘nervous system’.

However, since his body was destroyed, his nervous system was also rapidly disappearing.

‘…I need a body.’

In the future, if we have more time, it may be possible to reorganize the body structure of living things and build a virtual nervous system, but we have not yet been able to reach that level of ability.

‘The nervous system that is the storage device to transfer this data needs to be a nervous system that is exactly the same as mine.’

This was because this ‘data’ that was close to this god was structured solely to suit Lee Hyun-wook’s nervous system.

In other words, appropriate compatibility was needed.

He moved his mind to the dimensional gap in a split second.

Until just a few seconds ago, he didn’t know where it was or how to access it, but his will, which was freed from the shackles, was able to quickly understand and control everything.

Lee Hyun-wook’s mind was immersed in some thick darkness.

‘This is… the darkness I saw right before I returned.’

Soon, just like that time, I saw a light somewhere in the distance.

He flew there and stuck his head into the light.

The next moment—

“…….”

He slowly exhaled and sighed.

I raised my hands and looked down and looked at my body, and the body that would have been shattered into pieces remained intact.

And this place was quite familiar.

Tick—tick—

It was the place where he served in the military… the dormitory.

Then the door opened and someone came in.

It was a raven-haired private in a black combat uniform.

He hesitantly approached and spoke to Lee Hyun-wook.

“Corporal Lee Hyun-wook, are you awake? We are meeting for dinner right now.”

Lee Hyun-wook slowly stood up from the bed

and faced Park Jun-mo.

“Park Jun-mo…”

“Private Park Jun-mo—Say yes!”

Lee Hyun-wook looked at the scene and smiled. I never thought I’d see this guy’s foolish side again.

“Uh… why are you doing that?”

Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.

“No, I’ll be leaving soon, so go first.”

“Yes, I understand.”

He took a moment to breathe in the empty living room, then opened his dressing table and looked at the mirror inside.

This time, he saw his youthful face.

‘Is this already the third time I’ve seen this face?’

This was another dimension of Earth, and it was also one of the administrator’s laboratory flasks. As

he slowly changed into his black combat uniform, he thought about the past for just a moment.

In this moment of his first life, he lived helplessly and did nothing.

And at this moment in his second life, he swallowed the clip and dreamed of a new future.

And now in his third life…

Then he exhaled and stretched out his hand into the air. But this time, what he sensed was not metal.

He tore open the gap in the dimension and forcibly opened it.

Then a black shimmer appeared in the air.

Oh-oh-oh-oh–

That was the Black Gate, a dimensional passageway.

Lee Hyun-wook slowly walked into it.

And when he walked out on the other side—

Huh Woo-woo–

The ruined city center of Seoul spread out before my eyes.

That was the exact same place where Lee Hyun-wook was standing just a few minutes ago… As I turned my head, players came into view one by one nearby. There were a

lot of them . He was scared, but when he saw Lee Hyun-wook, several people looked surprised.

Among them was Park Jun-mo.

“Uh… uh…”

He shed tears and then looked at Lee Hyun-wook with a blank face.

Lee Hyun-wook knew . Without having time to do anything, I turned my head to the other side.

Then, I saw a woman, Nicole, rummaging around with a piece of Lee Hyun-wook’s body floating in the air, probably a lump of blood… She, too, couldn’t help but be shocked when she saw Lee Hyun-wook. “Huh

? uh! This… how…”

She took a step back with a frightened expression.

That scene was because even as a manager, she couldn’t understand this phenomenon.

Lee Hyun-wook walked towards her and snapped his fingers.

Then the sky appeared . The contents of the [Full Notice] that was floating around began to become strangely distorted again.

– *&%^$$#@ ended.

Then, the red particles that were binding the mana in the area evaporated, and all control of the system was lifted. In other words ,

the system collapsed.

At the same time, the mirage of the universe was lifted like a veil was lifted from various parts of the sky, and circular alien craft began to appear one by one. It was unknown how long they had

been there, but they were quite A large number of them were circling the Earth’s orbit. Their size was so large that it looked as if the moon had multiplied and surrounded the Earth. In just a few seconds,

Lee Hyun-wook scanned the interior of the craft to see if they were used to operate the system. We found out that it was a repeater and a base where administrators resided.

“Uh uh— uh—”

Nicole took a step back as Lee Hyun-wook approached.

As Lee Hyun-wook approached her, he slowly raised his left hand and extended it to the sky.

Gu-gu-gu—

Then. The custodian bases in Earth’s orbit began to be pulled towards Earth,

and then…

Boom——! Boom——!

Before they even reached the atmosphere, they exploded and collapsed.

What that meant was simple.

It was the moment when all the leashes on humanity on Earth were cut off.

Lee Hyun-wook’s left hand went to the aircraft that had crashed earlier. There was the real body of manager Nicole Lee.

Soon,

the outside of the place was torn like a piece of paper. Then, a blue figure flew out of it and stopped in the air in front of Lee Hyun-wook.

“Huh!”

It was a blue-skinned alien with limbs like a human, but with long ears and big eyes.

That was the model of an alien race called managers. Lee Hyun- wook

pulled it in front of him.

“Now… this time… you seem to have a lot of questions, so I think I should take your questions?”

Lee Hyun-wook joked in a cold voice.

Now the relationship between A and B has completely reversed.

At this, Manager Nicole asked the real question.

“How on earth have you… how… have you really become a god now?”

“I won’t give it such a childish name, but it seems like the results of your intended experiment were successful.”

Even as Lee Hyun-wook said that, he crushed the administrators’ bases that were falling toward the Earth one by one.

The scene where an explosion sounded above his head and fragments of a huge flying vehicle rained down behind him was extremely cruel. Looking at

that scene , The manager looked vain and said,

“This is ridiculous. This can’t be like this….”

Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.

“No, this can happen. We humans, and you as well, all intelligent beings seem to believe that they are controlling something. Whether it’s an experiment or something. Whether it’s a dangerous facility or even nature…”

This was an experiment. It was also a very dangerous experiment.

The experiment ended in a major accident.

And as it is a large experiment, accidents are bound to be large.

For example, an uncontrollable catastrophe such as a nuclear power plant explosion or a virus leak from a biochemical laboratory.

To put that accident in other words….

“…a bug happened just as you said.”

Bug It was Lee Hyun-wook himself.

If this disaster was a game, Hyunwook Lee was a bug.

If this disaster was an experiment, Hyunwook Lee was an accident.

In other words, it could be called a variable.

Hyunwook Lee continues to expand his mana embodiment, and his senses have reached a point where he can control mana from hundreds of kilometers away.

With just a few judgments, he completely destroyed all the facilities that administrators had spread across the planet.

Bang—— Bang——

An explosion rang out all over the world.

And then I looked back at my dumbfounded colleagues.

They were always surprised by Lee Hyun-wook’s performance, but this time it was on a completely different scale.

This was because the power radiating from him was enormous, and it was precisely because his nervous system had access to all mana that he stimulated the mana entangled in the players’ bodies to create status ailments, making it feel like an intimidating feeling.

That was the identity of the ambiguous phenomenon called rank.

Lee Hyun-wook looked at them one by one and then opened his mouth.

“…I think I’ll have to go somewhere for quite some time.”

As Lee Hyun-wook said that, he gathered all the mana in the area, and things that glowed began to pile up above his head.

Those who embroidered the sky like the blooming Milky Way… were none other than the giant sword Moglei .

All of that was created with just one gesture.

Next, a huge black shimmer appeared in front of Lee Hyun-wook, and Nicole asked with an anxious expression.

“…Where does the door lead to?”

It was the Black Gate, a portal to another dimension.

Lee Hyun-wook looked down at the bound manager.

“From now on… in your world…”

He raised his left hand and gestured, and the Moglay that had risen in the sky began to pour down like a waterfall towards the portal.

“…I plan to make it rain made of steel.”

And Lee Hyun-wook walked towards the end of the line.

The god created thus escaped the laboratory.
