Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan

Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan – 212

Martial God (3)

Due to a series of events, Lee Geon-ha’s employee ego seemed to have grown stronger, adding a touch of baseness to the king’s previously dignified speech.

At this, Satanael’s avatar smiled slyly.

“I’m afraid I can no longer indulge in this childish game. What a pity.”

Guooooo!

He transformed into a writhing mass of dark red slime.

The ominously swelling, eerie mass of flesh soon coalesced into the form of a multi-headed reptile.

And finally.

Kuooooooo!

It was reborn as a monstrous dragon with nine heads.

Satanael’s dramatic transformation caused an optical illusion, making his skin appear particularly red due to the protruding blood vessels.

As the creature’s appearance exuded the aura of a final boss from the game world, Isaac felt rather relieved.

After all, it was easier to deal with an outright monstrous being than a cunning schemer.

‘He’s excited.’

Patztztztz!

Sparks were indeed continuously flying from the thick scales of the monstrous dragon. It seemed to be paying the price for directly violating the rules of the King’s Game.

Puk!

However, the power of Satanael transformed into a nine-headed dragon was beyond all standards.

[Final Finish – Unlimited Mode has been activated.]

Despite activating the unlimited Final Finish at the terrifying impact sound, Isaac’s chest had already been pierced by something like a black awl.

The defensive mechanism he had purchased at a great cost earlier did protect the owner’s life, but still.

[‘Goddess’s Blessing’ has been activated.]

[Remaining defense count: 2]

“Kruaaang!”

Pshushushushuk!

As the nine enraged dragon heads roared earth-shatteringly, hundreds of dark red spikes shot out from its wing membranes.

In response, the celestial deities who stood to protect their king deployed various magical techniques.

Jiiiing!

In an instant, seven layers of blue defensive barriers unfolded, showcasing a performance befitting their high ranks.

This is to say that they easily blocked the barrage of spikes with their thick protective shield.

“Kruaaaaaaa!”

However, when the terrifying demon dragon let out another roar.

Kadeudeudeuk― Paang!

Pubububuk!

The multi-dimensional barrier deployed by Maitreya and Gabriel shattered helplessly, and the avatars of the celestial deities who had been surrounding King Isaac were futilely annihilated.

This was proof that the enraged Satanael’s combat power was beyond imagination.

Isaac frowned and rechecked the creature’s specs, but he was left speechless at the updated information.

【Information Window】

▶ Name: Red Dragon of the Apocalypse (Satanael’s Avatar)

▶ Level: 500

▶ Classification: Monster

▶ Mutation: [Awakened Apocalypse Lv.5][Perfect Vessel Lv.10]

▶ Skill: [Corruption]

Having brought part of its main body’s power, its level reached 500, and with the Disaster’s body gone, it was now flaunting a grandeur befitting a world destroyer in earnest.

‘Is there even any point to the King’s Game now?’

The opponent’s sincere transformation made the king-exclusive benefits that Tetragrammaton had been generously providing seem meaningless.

Kwaaak.

Nevertheless, Isaac clenched his fist tightly.

Although the other side had used the cheat of calling upon its main body’s power, he too possessed an equally broken skill.

「Save & Load」

▶ Classification: Skill ⇨ Awakening Skill

▶ Grade: Only One

▶ Effect: Saves the current game in progress. Can load the save file at any time.

Hadn’t he spent over 300 attempts when tackling Maitreya in the deep night?

Banging his head against a boss with complex patterns until successfully conquering it was one of the things Isaac did best.

Puk!

[Loading game…]

2nd attempt, 3rd attempt, 4th attempt.

Peobeobeobeobeong!

Kwajik!

[Loading game…]

10th attempt, 100th attempt, 150th attempt….

Repeating death endlessly.

Isaac had to witness with his own eyes the celestial deities and his precious children being annihilated countless times.

[Loading game…]

At last, the grim 200th attempt began.

Isaac used soldiers as shields while simultaneously marking the lords of the legion summoned by Satanael with heroes strengthened by account synchronization.

“Sir Isaac!”

“Take this!”

Peoeok!

The Sword Emperor and The One, Electric Guy and the Flame Emperor, all turned into mere droplets of blood.

“What a… happy end. Haa.”

Ophelia’s voice was heard from Uriel, who met his end pierced by spikes, while Yoho and the Machine Commander embraced each other as they accepted death.

Precious bonds died one after another.

However, Isaac stepped forward and extended his fist again and again, determined not to let their deaths be in vain.

「Indomitable Will」

▶ Classification: Achievement

▶ Grade: Ancient

▶ Effect: Never give up.

His own death.

Everyone’s death.

Isaac’s desperate struggle to witness the endless repetition of the apocalypse was surely not just due to the corrective effect of the last achievement he had gained.

[Loading game…]

[Loading game…]

[Loading ga….]

At some point, Isaac’s emotions gradually wore down and he blankly accepted the repeating apocalypse.

“This is leading everyone’s will!”

“Go!”

Despite the cries of the split Hwang Man-deuk and Gil-seong, Isaac’s decadent eyes remained dazed.

[Loading game…]

1,000th attempt….

2,000th attempt….

Isaac’s ego faded to white, becoming like a thoughtless doll.

Puk!

Peoeok!

[Loading game…]

Death and apocalypse continued infinitely.

And at some point, he began to ignore the red dragon of the apocalypse and sink into contemplation.

And for an ascetic accumulating spiritual power, contemplation meant practice.

Around the 3,000th attempt. While observing the despair of the multiverse’s collapse, Hero Isaac slowly began to understand the true meaning of the Simdammuyogyeol and Cheonmokyeonhwagyeol.

An endlessly ending universe.

Isaac practicing in the midst of it.

Although allies and even Satanael, the source of evil, felt uncomfortable with this strange combination that didn’t fit at all, once the practice began, it showed no signs of stopping.

Peoeok!

[‘Goddess’s Blessing’ has been activated.]

[Remaining defense count: 1]

While the celestial deities, heroes, and automatically activating defense mechanisms and two summoned beasts bought a little time.

Lee Geon-ha contemplated the meaning of life and the laws of the universe, and at some point naturally came to understand the remaining 3 attribute formulas following the two cultivation methods.

[Loading game…]

The long-awaited 10,000th attempt.

The cultivation methods based on the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water melted into one realization, forming the ultimate archetype.

Isaac named the final cultivation method completed after long practice the Infinite Primal Energy Technique (無極元氣訣).

Whether such a cultivation method actually exists is uncertain, but it dealt with the distant realization of the creation, destruction, and circulation of the universe based on the laws of the five elements.

Peoeok!

Puk!

[Loading game…]

Time passed fleetingly.

From the 10,000th attempt, he even forgot to count.

Since he couldn’t overcome the red dragon of the apocalypse that had brought the power of its main body no matter what means and methods he used, for Isaac, emptying his mind and practicing the Infinite Primal Energy Technique was practically the only way out.

And finally.

[Something sleeping within you is eroding space and time.]

[You have reached the realm of secondary awakening.]

The time had come.

Isaac, who had been repeating countless attempts, had obtained a new finishing move that might be able to counter Satanael.

「The Player」

▶ Classification: Skill ⇨ Secondary Awakening Skill

▶ Grade: Only One

▶ Effect: Gamifies everything.

Gamification of everything.

Hero Isaac, who had reached a proper state of transcendence, tilted his head at the somewhat abstract effect, but his opportunities were infinite.

Woowoong!

Soon, Isaac, who had glanced at the red dragon’s head he had seen to the point of boredom, dominated the area with the divine power of the Infinite Primal Energy Technique, which contained the essence of the creation, destruction, and circulation of heaven and earth.

[A wild ‘Red Dragon of the Apocalypse’ has appeared!]

A full-fledged game UI popped up from all directions, restraining(?) Satanael.

As expressed, the nine-headed demon dragon that had been rampaging as soon as the attempt started was not making any attacks.

[It’s your turn.]

Name and level, health bar and mana gauge located below.

It wasn’t difficult to recognize that this was the UI of a typical turn-based RPG game.

After all, the UI of Clan of Heroes had a similar format.

‘What an outlandish technique.’

For Isaac, who was more familiar with SRPGs (Simulation Role-Playing Games) than anyone else, there couldn’t be better news.

If one had to find a flaw, it would be that even the soldiers on the allied side were motionless in place as if time had stopped.

Although they must have felt caught up in an unprecedented phenomenon, no one was making a fuss asking what was going on.

The fact that an untimely role-play had begun and no one felt anything strange about it. This too seemed to be a side effect of the secondary awakening skill ‘The Player’.

‘It’s convenient, but the feeling is…’

At the center of this bizarre battlefield where reality had been gamified rather than the game becoming reality, Isaac selected [Attack] with familiar hand movements to set his next action, then touched the sub-item [Skill].

Then the skill name at the very top was none other than.

[The Ultimate Final Finish]

It blatantly took the final form of the Final Finish.

If translated directly, wouldn’t it be something like ‘The Last True Ending’?

Anyway, only this skill with three overlapping terms meaning ‘end’ was sparkling brightly.

As a gamer, wouldn’t one be inhuman not to use this?

Ttik.

Soon, as Isaac’s eyes regained their vitality and he irresistibly selected the skill, the red dragon of the apocalypse repeatedly materialized and disappeared at a rapid pace.

This was the implementation of the SRPG-specific direction of selecting the target to attack.

“This might end it all.”

Finally, Isaac, who had been devoted to training while repeatedly dying for a long time, targeted Satanael with the mysterious final attack skill.

Then.

Zing―

Woooong!

A thin line was drawn in the air, soon a crack opened, and from within, a tall figure emerged, walking out in a shabby manner.

“You’ve managed to surpass the appropriate mental strength.”

The identity of the summoned young man was none other than the future Isaac, Lee Geon-ha, Martial God.

“Take this.”

Isaac, who had been wondering if he was going to use some sort of impressive fusion technique with this guy, carefully received and grasped a multicolored orb-like object that the other handed over right after.

Woooooong!

He could tell right away.

If he threw a punch while holding this, it would surely become the ultimate final finish.

“It’s everyone’s heart!”

“Please defeat that guy!”

“Leader, you can do it!”

As a cool breeze blew in with a loud vibration, the celestial deities and heroes who had been standing still sent out passionate cheers.

With this, Isaac felt that he had finally reached the end of a long story.

Isn’t this an old-fashioned direction trying to forcibly evoke emotion at the ending?

[It was the wish of all people gathered from across the multiverse.]

Like the final chapter of any mass-produced game, a message building up to the finale slowly appeared.

And in addition to that.

[Lee Geon-ha’s story was passed down in the form of games, novels, and sometimes dramas or movies.]

The puzzling message was even narrated in the deep voice of a middle-aged woman.

It seems that the effect of ‘The Player’ was comprehensively influencing the entire area.

As Isaac absorbed the unprecedented power contained in the mysterious orb, the middle-aged woman’s voice continued without pause.

[Hope, love, killing intent, pain. Human emotions inherently invoke the power of ‘causality’.]

[Among these, the method Martial God chose to draw in a large amount of causal power was to provide Lee Geon-ha’s story as cultural content.]

Woooooooong!

Isaac’s body involuntarily took steps towards the nine-headed red dragon.

This was because the effect of The Player automatically moved his body.

[At last today, everyone’s wishes were conveyed to him.]

“Looks like you’ve secretly done something incredible again.”

Regardless of how the resources were harvested, this ‘causal power’ seemed to inherently contain powerful laws of creation, destruction, and circulation.

After all, infinite energy that felt like it could do anything was being transmitted from the multicolored orb.

Kugugung!

“Krooaaaaar!”

The red dragon of the apocalypse spread its wings wide. Staring straight at the hundreds of dark red fangs shooting from its wing joints, Isaac tightly pulled back his right fist.

Fwash!

Everything was coming to an end.

The blue-eyed hero, who had grasped the fate of the multiverse that had repeatedly died and perished countless times, finally threw his punch with all his might.

──────────!

It’s disappearing.

The king of the enemy camp, the red dragon of the apocalypse, scattered into countless particles of light.

And then.

[The king has been defeated.]

[VICTORY!]

Swoosh…….

As the player’s domain disappeared, the body that composed Hero Isaac also began to disintegrate into particles and scatter.

‘So I’m no longer needed, huh.’

It seemed that the Tetragrammaton, having seen all it needed to see, had cut off the resources it had been expending on Isaac.

Despite being something of a savior of the multiverse, the treatment was harsh.

──!

In the distance, children came running, their mouths moving constantly.

Towards them, Hero Isaac showed a warm smile. While gently waving his right hand, which had already disintegrated into particles up to the wrist.
