===================
The Nutube video released to the whole world.
At first, people just thought it was a movie.
Isn’t it the AI era?
If you put in a few keywords and run it, a plausible video is easily created in a flash.
However, the introduction of the people that popped up at the end of the video.
In addition, the testimony of Jeon Kwang-il of the Awakening Management Administration.
The video was real.
The nuclear explosion, the fire truck clear, the Demon Realm, the dimensional energy storage, the Manager’s true identity and the Earth No. 675 parallel universe, etc., everything.
I thought it was a cliché scenario.
It being cliché is true. It’s a common alien God (神) invasion.
The parallel universe theory is really unexpected.
Honestly, I’m shocked. That there were so many Earths?
If the Earth that was ruined is No. 675, does it mean 675 Earths were ruined?
What number is our Earth?
Communities were entirely full of this talk.
In addition, about Joo-hyuk as well.
Anyway, what exactly is Bong Joo-hyuk’s trait?
Well, it seems like he’s dragging people into the tower in swarms.
Could it be forming raid groups? A trait like [Party Recruitment].
There was a trait like that too?
How should I know. Since he’s clearing not alone, but together with several people.
There was the most talk about Joo-hyuk’s trait.
If it’s really that kind of trait, it’s a ridiculous cheat.
Human wave tactics with a raid party, even I would be able to clear S+++?
But isn’t a summoning trait like that too. Because you summon demonic beasts, phantom beasts, spirits, and golems to fight together.
Rumors have been circulating since before that Bong Joo-hyuk’s trait is summoning.
That’s true. By enhancing the trait, he increases the numbers too, and raises the grades too.
Various speculations ran rampant.
Wait! If it’s the [Summoning] trait, it means summoning people?
Ey, what nonsense.
Why does it make no sense? Have you guys not played games? Just how many games are there where you summon people or heroes to play.
Why compare games to here?
Tower clearing or games, aren’t they similar things?
If they are people, communication would work well too.
Bong Joo-hyuk, turns out he was nothing special.
Tteub, I’m disappointed.
Did he not even have skills himself and just comfortably rode the bus leaning on his summoned beasts?
He ate it raw (got it effortlessly), didn’t he.
He climbs the tower comfortably, huh. If it’s like that, I would do it too.
The world is fucking unfair.
Disparaging remarks and malicious feelings of jealousy toward Bong Joo-hyuk came out from here and there.
However, the opposing opinions were formidable too.
Fucking bastards, what? Ridiculous cheat trait? Ate it raw? You wanna die?
So what if it’s a ridiculous cheat? We’re safe thanks to Bong Joo-hyuk.
Ehew, insect smell, you’re creeping out slowly thinking this is the time.
You only know how to tap on a keyboard in the corner of your room.
It would be great if we could gather up those bastards and throw them all onto Earth No. 675.
Then another video was uploaded.
The title was Republic of Korea No. 1 Black Tower 88th floor clear video.
One player moving nimbly through a vast sandy desert.
At the same time, a figure looking around.
Uh? Bong Joo-hyuk?
It’s right it’s Bong Joo-hyuk.
Are you sure?
He looks exactly like the leaked photo?
If it’s the 88th floor, it was the Sand Dragon, right?
But he’s alone.
Abruptly!
A tremendously sized Sand Dragon bouncing up from under the sand.
Heok!
Aigo!
Wow! How is he supposed to catch that alone?
A magic gun won’t work on it either.
Uh-uh? What the? Why is he alone? Where did the people go?
No!!!
Don’t fight it and run away!
Eua! I can’t watch.
It was then.
Bong Joo-hyuk’s mallet flew.
Hwi-ri-rit!
Peo-eok!
Kwa-a-a-a-ang!
The Sand Dragon is viciously beaten by a small wooden mallet and goes flying.
Hwi-ri-rit!
Chak!
The wooden mallet returning to Bong Joo-hyuk’s hand again.
Immediately another shot.
Hwi-ri-rit!
Kwa-a-a-a-ang!
A roaring sound to the extent eardrums would fall off.
Eventually, the Sand Dragon ended up being torn to shreds and.
Oh!
Eng?
Ah!
Heol?
Wow!
Kya-a!
Hwi-yu!
And Bong Joo-hyuk grinning broadly while turning back.
Crazy, crazy!
Two-hit kill?
He processed the 88th floor monster alone?
Strong!
He didn’t shed a single drop of sweat.
The human himself was originally invincible.
He’s probably stronger than his summoned beasts, right?
Can’t you see? He’s taking kids weaker than himself around.
The insect bastards will say it’s item power again, right?
With that small wooden mallet? Ey, then that’s a bastard whose conscience has truly died.
It was an overwhelming clear.
The talk about whether it’s trait power or whatever vanished without a trace in an instant.
Who said our great Bong Joo-hyuk comrade is trait power?
Son of a bitch bastards, you’ve lost your minds. What is it? That he’s eating it raw?
It is true, it is right he’s eating it raw. Since he killed it in 2 mallet shots.
Comrades, engage in self-criticism! Hurrah for Joo-hyuk!
Wow, those Northern guys, they’ve definitely switched sides.
Fine, I’ll do it. Hurrah for Joo-hyuk!
Hurrah for Joo-hyuk!
Hurrah for Joo-hyuk!
The second video also had an explosive reaction.
* * *
White Tower 17th floor.
The US Department of Homeland Security Secretary MacMillan and Director Antonio rode the elevator together with Joo-hyuk’s party.
‘Where is this elevator going?’
Is it only the elevator?
As soon as they entered the White Tower, the two people were unable to come to their senses from the rushing curiosity.
However, they gave up shortly after.
What’s the point of having doubts?
Starting with the place called the White Tower itself, it’s full of strange things.
Scenery that looks like a small city was moved as-is, the towering landmark building, the stretching roads, those dozens of Gigants placed in the plaza.
And what about the people?
They had seen them in the video, but seeing them in reality felt different again.
Moreover, over on that side, there’s even a farmer with 3 legs and 6 arms plowing a field.
If they ask one by one, there’d be no end to it.
Just following along as instructed is the best.
So they boarded the elevator without saying a word.
Earth No. 675 tour group.
The personnel are Secretary MacMillan and Antonio.
Joo-hyuk rode together too.
Upon pressing the 1st-floor button.
Seu-u-u-ung!
The vibrating elevator.
“Euum.”
“…….”
Eu-deu-deu-deu…….
Unusual pressure was applied.
MacMillan and Antonio closed their eyes tightly.
Wi-ing!
Tti-ring!
Seu-reu-reuk!
[The elevator has arrived at the 1st floor.]
The White Tower 1st floor is also Joo-hyuk’s property.
Therefore, the experience ticket is valid too.
“You can get off.”
“Is it a d, different dimension?”
“No. Since here is also the White Tower, please try shouting ‘exit’.”
Spot! Spot!
Only now arriving on Earth No. 675, MacMillan and Antonio.
“Welcome, sir!”
“Summoner, have you come?”
“Pil-seung! No abnormalities during duty!”
Some of the summoned entities were already waiting in advance on Earth No. 675, Cossack, Mad Demon, Diamart, Crackus, a total of 4 people.
“It’s here.”
“Yes.”
A ruined world.
The only things visible are collapsed building debris and the Black Tower visible far ahead.
And grass and small trees that look like they’ve just barely grown.
“You’re surprised, right?”
“A l, little.”
“I was like that at first too.”
Suddenly!
Seu-u-ung!
The Green Dragon Crackus transforming into his main body.
“Ancient Dragon Airlines, Ancient Airplane, Green Airplane is ready.”
MacMillan and Antonio were startled and surprised.
A person suddenly transforms into a dragon?
Is that the dragon that appeared in the Demon Realm episode?
But an airplane, you say.
Are you really saying we’re going to ride on the back of that tremendously large dragon?
Seu-reu-reuk!
Stairs made of magic were generated and.
“Now, let’s go up.”
“…….”
Won’t we fall off?
It seems dangerous.
“Hey, Yankee-nims, no problem, safety fly, trust me.”
“…We know how to speak Korean.”
“Okay! Fasten your seatbelts, sir.”
Peol-leok peol-leok!
Ssy-ae-ae-ae-aek!!!
Crackus began a gliding flight.
“This captain will make an announcement. The destination is parallel universe America, the flight method is Infinite Turbo Blink Flight, sir.”
Um.
Infinite Turbo Blink Flight, what’s that again.
It seems Crackus has gone slightly crazy too.
Not satisfied with a proud Ancient Dragon letting humans ride on his back, Infinite Turbo Blink Flight?
Ssyae-ae-ae-aek!
The Green Airplane flying like an arrow.
And flash!
He compressed space and moved as if jumping.
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
Eou!
I feel like I’m getting motion sickness.
Blink, a spell that consumes a considerable amount of magic power.
No matter how infinite an Ancient Dragon’s magic power is, to just carelessly use it like this.
In the midst of that, Diamart wagging her tail topped with sharp spikes and walking between the seats.
“Master, would you like a glass of wine?”
Why is she like this too?
Is it flight attendant cosplay?
“Ah, please just give me a glass of beer.”
“Yes, shall I prepare peanuts as snacks?”
“…Sure.”
“Flight Attendant-nim, I am passenger Cossack.”
“Please speak.”
“I am asking for a glass of cool mineral water.”
“Got it. The others?”
Our defected Succubus whose abilities suddenly skyrocketed this time.
There is such a thing as compatibility in medicine as well.
The efficacy of the Great Demon heart enhancement elixir for Diamart was over 200%.
In other words, Diamart is Great Demon-class.
An airplane where an Ancient Dragon drives and a Great Demon works as a flight attendant.
“If you wish to sleep, please speak up. I will put you to sleep.”
A Succubus flight attendant capable of even putting passengers to sleep.
It suits her though.
A few hours later.
The Green Airplane crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in the eastern region of America.
“Ah!”
“G, good heavens.”
It seems to be New York.
The completely collapsed buildings, and the ruined Manhattan.
MacMillan and Antonio, without saying who was first, lifted their smartphones.
Thus, No. 675, a ruined parallel universe Earth, the appearance of another America was captured on camera.
The Green Airplane passed New York and headed to Washington.
As expected, the collapsed Capitol building and Lincoln Memorial, the White House that disappeared without a trace.
“Truly, this is…….”
“Hu-u.”
Even though the difference in time and space makes it completely different worlds, it’s still America in a way here too.
They couldn’t help but be shocked.
MacMillan opening his mouth with a bitter voice.
“It seems there wasn’t a player like Mr. Bong in this place.”
There was.
Earth No. 675’s superpower, Germany’s best player Max Kruger.
A tragic player who succeeded in owning a White Tower, but possessed no Topmost-Grade magic crystals so he couldn’t do anything.
Well, there’s no need to inform them.
Because if I say Germany was the strongest country in the parallel universe, it would be shocking in another sense.
‘I really was on the lucky side.’
Without the summoned entities, I am nothing.
I should always live feeling thankful.
Like that, the Green Airplane flew around the eastern region of America and the shores of the Great Lakes, clearly imprinting on them just how tragic the results of destruction are.
It’s slowly time to go back.
Returning is simple.
Entering the White Tower from here is the end.
The summoned entities unsummoned and.
Spot!
* * *
Back to the White Tower 17th floor.
Upon arriving, a grand feast had already been set up.
Guests came from America, how could we just let it slide?
We should feed them something before sending them off.
“This girl is called the White Tower’s general manager, Gyeon Dal-rae. Guests, please sit at the seats of honor along with Young Master.”
Party starts.
Eating food, drinking a glass of alcohol too, and sharing conversations regarding the Black Tower and the parallel universe too.
Then Secretary MacMillan carefully asked Joo-hyuk.
“Excuse me, Player Bong Joo-hyuk.”
“Yes.”
“Regarding the experience ticket that allows entry into the White Tower. Is this only possible for one day?”
“Not at all. There are one-day ones, and there are one-month ones too…….”
“Ah! Then we don’t have much time left soon, huh.”
“Um, I guess so?”
As if suddenly remembering something, Antonio asked.
“Did Commissioner-nim receive an experience ticket as well?”
Then Jeon Kwang-il smirked and replied.
“Hut! Experience ticket you say. I am a permanent residency ticket holder.”
“Permanent?”
“Yes, there is no time limit. Even though I look like this, I am the No. 1 permanent residency ticket holder as an Earthling.”
“That must be nice.”
“I’m proud of it.”
“…….”
Antonio also knew from hearing about it.
White Tower, a place maintained intact even if the world is ruined.
A concept of a sort of shelter.
Even if the Black Tower collapses, even if nuclear explosions occur, even if the earth splits apart from earthquakes.
Just by chanting a simple entry skill once, one can enter this place, the White Tower.
The absolute best means of evacuation, incomparable to personal underground bunkers or panic rooms.
For that reason, the value of this admission ticket?
One wouldn’t even dare to imagine.
“Then how many people possess the permanent residency ticket…….”
“Hardly any. Just looking at our Team Leader Lee Min-ah right away, it’s a month and.”
At that moment!
Spot!
“How do you do! White Tower comrades, I came to meet the Minister of the People’s Armed Forces Go Sa-geuk. To scrape together every single one of the Republic’s nuclear warheads… Um.”
Chairman Kim In-joong, whose eyes met with the high-ranking American officials.
An awkward atmosphere in an instant.
“A, American imperialist wolves… no, comrades, why are you here…….”
Jeon Kwang-il smiled bitterly and said.
“That gentleman is also a one-month monthly rent ticket holder.”
MacMillan and Antonio frowned their faces.
I’m in a bad mood for nothing.
Even the head of a target country for economic sanctions, an axis of evil in the world, holds a monthly rent ticket.
Why are they holders of one-day experience tickets?
Although they can guess for what reason he received a monthly rent ticket.
Should they ask for an upgrade to a permanent residency ticket?
Or maybe at least a monthly rent ticket.
It was then.
Jeo-beok-jeo-beok-jeo-beok.
Farmer Duu walking toward Joo-hyuk.
“Summoner.”
“Ah! Duu-nim.”
“Harvest just now. Cherry tomatoes. Fresh.”
Duu brought plump, well-ripened cherry tomatoes in a basket.
The 17th-floor crops currently slowly undergoing harvest.
The farming skills of the hidden class, Duu.
And the 17th-floor environment suited for farming.
Moreover, the crops even received benefits from the adept energy shower recently.
Could these be anywhere near ordinary cherry tomatoes?
Even their color was extraordinary.
“Everyone, come here. He says they’re cherry tomatoes cultivated by Duu-nim.”
Jeon Kwang-il’s eyes flashing.
He too knows very well the value of Duu-brand crops.
Even just the lettuce was so delicious.
He hurriedly picked one and munched (u-mul-u-mul).
MacMillan and Antonio also read the room before popping one into their mouths.
“It’s delicious, right?”
However, there was no answer.
No, they couldn’t answer.
Because they were savoring the taste of the cherry tomatoes.
Is this really a tomato?
No, how can it have a taste like this?
“Duu-ssi, please sit here too. Have a glass of Makgeolli…….”
“Report to Summoner.”
“Report? What is it?”
“Immortal Peach tree. Anomalous phenomenon. Mysterious object fruited.”
Eung?
What is this sound?
An anomaly occurred on the Immortal Peach tree?
“Is that so? Let’s go quickly.”
U-reu-reu-reu-reu.
People swarming towards the Immortal Peach tree.
What is it?
What kind of anomaly occurred?
Joo-hyuk looking at the end of the branch Duu was pointing at.
“…Uh?”
Something was hanging.
It’s something I’ve seen a lot.
Brilliantly golden…….
‘Fur?’
That’s right.
It’s certain.
It is that fur.
“It’s fur!!! Hurrah!”
“Is it fur?”
“It’s fur, huh?”
“It is fur.”
“It is fur.”
“Fur, fur, fur, fur has come, sir.”
“Ho-e!”
Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s clone came.
And through the Immortal Peach tree at that.
How did this happen?
Did Sword Immortal-nim send it?
Even the anxiety that remained as small as a sesame seed was completely washed away.
This is even better than 100 nuclear warheads.
Now whether it’s an Archangel or whatever, just come.
Meanwhile, MacMillan and Antonio looked like they didn’t know what was going on.
That fur clump hanging at the end of the tree branch, what’s so great about it, for the people to be so happy?
U-mul-u-mul.
In the midst of this, why are the cherry tomatoes so delicious?
They absolutely couldn’t stop.
* * *
MacMillan and Antonio exited the White Tower and returned to America.
Joo-hyuk saw them off all the way to the US military base.
He even sent a box of cherry tomatoes as a gift too and.
There was no time to rest even after that.
Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities fully absorbed in clear preparations.
Firepower is sufficient.
Just how many nuclear warheads do we have.
Furthermore, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s golden fur too.
The part the Magi-engineers trio has currently poured the most heart and soul into researching is precisely defense measures.
Nuclear weapons are a double-edged sword.
If a mistake happens, everyone dies together.
Even if you go and die, I shouldn’t die.
So they researched countermeasures capable of blocking it even if a nuclear weapon detonates 100m ahead.
A Mage’s Absolute Shield, Magi-engineering’s Protector Barrier, Alchemy’s Defensive Homunculus, and a nuclear air-raid shelter made with Earth’s science.
Bring it on whatever it is.
We’ll detonate them immediately.
Ground explosion, air explosion, it’s all possible.
Because we have a Green Bomber.
Rapidly flowing time.
Finally, Geppetto’s dispatch duty also ended.
“There is no more dispatch duty now.”
“It’s a shame. I got quite attached to it though.”
“Won’t we have a chance to see them later?”
“Yes.”
First, applying the Memories Regression Conjuration on Geppetto, aligning the frequencies of spirit and flesh.
Make him consume Royal Blood and a Great Demon heart enhancement elixir and.
Thus, all preparations were finished.
Let’s go fully clear the Earth No. 675 Black Tower.
Up to the 100th floor.
