Kim Namwoon stared at me like I was speaking nonsense . Speaking of which, I felt strange . I also didn't expect that I would say this .
I recalled Kim Namwoon of the 1863rd round . A man with white hair who liked Lee Jihye and had a good relationship with his colleagues . The guy who was immature, didn't care for his surroundings and was deeply self-absorbed .
「 Kim Namwoon is an evil person . There is no changing this fact . 」
I saw Kim Namwoon's possibilities but my prejudice against him hadn't completely reversed . I decided to use Kim Namwoon because of a conversation with the 1863rd round Han Sooyoung .
-You won't be able to reach the 95th scenario with that mindset .
Han Sooyoung, Yoo Jonghyuk and I were different . However, if we agreed on one thing, it was that every story pursued a moment of efficiency .
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is interested in your choice . ]
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is interested in Incarnation 'Kim Namwoon . ']
I didn't see Uriel's message so she must be busy teaching Jung Heewon . If she knew I was here then Jung Heewon would be furious again . I was glad she was left in Eden .
Kim Namwoon opened his mouth . [I don't want to . Why should I help you?]
I thought he would say this . "You don't have to if you don't want . Let's go, Yoo Jonghyuk . "
I approached the cerberus with Yoo Jonghyuk .
[What? Where are you going?]
"Downstairs . "
[Puhahat, are you joking? Now Yellowy is staring at you!]
As if to prove it, the half-dozing cerberus raised its head and bared its teeth at us . At this time, Yoo Jonghyuk used the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship . Previously, it would be hard to deal with the cerberus on the first underground floor but now it was different .
" . . . You aren't gentle at all . "
"There is no time to waste here . "
The cerberus was hit by the blow and collapsed on the ground with its tongue lolling out . The prisoners were surprised by the violence and alarms rang out everywhere . Normally the judges would run over but there was a tacit agreement with Hades . We would be safe for the time being .
We walked past the collapsed cerberus and down towards the second underground floor .
[Crazy . . . crazy guy!] Kim Namwoon's baffled voice was heard .
Yoo Jonghyuk glanced at me .
- . . . Are you just leaving? The giant soldier is useful .
-Just watch .
We started down the circular staircase towards the second underground floor . The end of the circular staircase wasn't in sight . According to legend, the depths of Tartarus was so great that a dropped anvil fell for a long time .
[Wait, I'll come along!]
Kim Namwoon hurriedly followed after us . The body of the giant soldier was reduced to around two metres . Pluto was a giant soldier that could scale to fit the user's convenience .
I teasingly asked him, "Why are you following us when you said you didn't want to help?"
[That . . . I'm a bit bored . ]
The smiling mouth couldn't hide his feelings .
[By the way, what are you going to do? Where are you going? Huh?]
"I'm going to meet the giants . "
[What?]
Kim Namwoon made a blank expression for a moment before shouting, [Kuhat . . . uhahahat! Hey, subway grasshopper! I saw it at the time but you are really crazy . Do you know what the giants are?]
Of course, I knew .
[Once you meet those ■■, a hole will be punched through your ■■ in a moment . . . ]
[The prisoner filtering is activated!]
[The contents have been filtered to ensure the correct language usage in Tartarus . ]
[Prisoner 'Kim Namwoon' has received one penalty point . ]
[This sh■!]
[Prisoner 'Kim Namwoon' has received two penalty points . ] Even if I didn't hear Kim Namwoon's curses, I knew what the giants were .
The giants . A race that dominated in the early days of Olympus . There was a dizzying roar and I involuntarily stopped . Down in the distance, the giants had already noticed our existence and were reacting . It was only some of the 'status' but it was enough to cause goosebumps .
[Crazy . This is crazy . . . ]
I ignored Kim Namwoon's words and called out to Biyoo . Then Biyoo popped out from my chest .
[Baat?]
"Is the channel well controlled?"
[Baaat!]
"Since all broadcasts of the Underworld are off the record, only let the constellations who have vowed not to reveal the information into the channel . "
Biyoo nodded and started to manipulate the channel . Some of the constellations complained but now was the right time to do this . The less exposure there was from now on, the better it would be .
Not long after, some constellations sent messages .
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is grumbling and accepts the agreement . ]
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' isn't satisfied but agrees to make a pledge . ]
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' says he already made a vow . ]
I watched the pouring messages and Kim Namwoon expressed his admiration .
[Wow, this channel . . . ]
Kim Namwoon died before even choosing his sponsor so he might be surprised by the indirect messages of the constellations . All the way down the stairs, Kim Namwoon continued to talk loudly .
[By the way, the Underworld King sent you all the way down here? That Ahjussi is really stern . ]
" . . . Shut up . Open your mouth one more time and I'll cut it off . "
[What? Do you want to fight? You want to play?]
Yoo Jonghyuk's gaze towards Kim Namwoon was complicated . Yoo Jonghyuk already knew Kim Namwoon . In the last round, Kim Namwoon was also Yoo Jonghyuk's companion .
"Yoo Jonghyuk . Don't waste power here . Don't you know?"
Kim Namwoon smacked his lips when he saw Yoo Jonghyuk raising his sword . He looked like a child as he breathed with excitement . A child who hadn't received attention for a long time and was alone .
In response to my question about why she used Kim Namwoon, Han Sooyoung of the 1863rd round replied:
-No one is born a bad person from the beginning . It is all set up by the writer . The writer gave the narrative to be a bad person . I didn't like this .
I also agreed with Han Sooyoung's words to some extent . However, Kim Namwoon of this world pressed the wrong button first . He instigated the worst crime by inciting the people on the subway .
[My heart is pounding . It is the first time I've felt like this since my father and mother abandoned me . ]
"What do you feel?"
[It feels like a new adventure is waiting for me . ]
Obviously, Kim Namwoon was created . Should I blame the writer of Ways of Survival? Or should I blame myself for not stopping Kim Namwoon properly at the time?
I opened my smartphone and a new message was floating .
[The 'fourth revision' update is currently in progress . ]
. . . I knew it would update soon . There were many things going on that it would be strange if this was quiet . As I headed downstairs, I opened Ways of Survival and read the necessary parts . It was best to read Ways of Survival when my mind became uneasy .
「 Kim Dokja thought: The third round I am living no longer resembles any of the original rounds . 」
Still, I might be able to find a similar part . There were many scenes about the Underworld in the original Ways of Survival .
The 47th round, the 211th round, the 397th round . . . there were many . However, the Underworld had never appeared at 'this point' in those rounds .
「 We have to gather all the information available . 」
「 We can't win Gigantomachia if we don't persuade the giants . 」
There were remnants of Olympus throughout the pages of Ways of Survival . The sea was parted with a single gesture . Trampling on transcendents and constellations . The 12 gods of Olympus brutally destroying planets . Once I left here, I would have to face them head on .
Many pieces of information passed through my head regarding things that could be used and things that couldn't be used .
"Kim Dokja . "
"What is it?"
Yoo Jonghyuk gazed at me quietly before speaking in a low voice . "It's nothing . "
What was with this bastard? Suddenly speaking out of the blue . I immediately used Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and was exposed to Yoo Jonghyuk's thoughts .
「 You don't seem confident . 」
I felt like I had been stabbed . Maybe I showed my feelings on my face more than I thought . I deliberately opened my mouth and spoke in a loud voice .
"There are two things I need to get in the Underworld . "One is the giant god's armour and the other is the giant god's oath . "
" . . . Neither will be easy . "
"I guess so . "
"The harder it is, the better the rewards . "
I smiled while listening to Yoo Jonghyuk's words . Not long after, the entrance to the second floor of the Underworld appeared . As expected, the cerberus was guarding it . It was bigger than the one on the first floor . The moment Yoo Jonghyuk pulled out his sword, Kim Namwoon cried out .
[Wait! Don't hit Yellowy!]
"Get out of the way . There is no time . "
Kim Namwoon stroked the cerberus and spoke . [I know the location of the track elevator that the judges use . ]
The track elevator . There were clearly such things in Tartarus . A hidden transport mechanism that only the judges could use . However, the exact location of the elevator wasn't explained in Ways of Survival .
I asked doubtfully, "How do you know that?"
[I've been sneaking downstairs with it . ]
"How many floors?"
[The 77th floor . ]
I was startled . The 77th floor gained the gateway to the lowest floor .
[Follow me . It's this way . ]
Kim Namwoon walked forward confidently and Yoo Jonghyuk and I glanced at each other . Surprisingly, this guy was helpful .
. . . As expected, I should've kept him alive? No, this time he was helpful after dying so I did a good job of killing him .
***
The track elevator was really fast . The second underground floor, the third, the fourth underground floor . . . the elevator descended in an instant and along the way, we could see the terrible scenes of Tartarus . The prisoners attacked each other and the demons in the terrible brimstone fire shouted at us .
"Newcomers!"
"Hey! What are you staring at? Lower your eyes!"
Among the laughing prisoners, transcendents could be seen . They had committed crimes in Olympus' legal zone like me or were held captive due to the 12 gods . Some of them would become food at the Gourmet Association's dining table .
Then the elevator stopped and we got off at the 77th underground floor . The 77th floor was a prisoner-free floor . A space reminiscent of a large, hollow cavity and its width couldn't be measured . The centre of the space contained a generous sized door .
[There is no Yellowy on the 78th floor . They are useless . ]
A cerberus couldn't stop a giant . It might be possible for a campe .
Kim Namwoon hesitated before stating . [ . . . I've never been there before . I put my hand into it previously but this was what happened . ]
I looked at the scar left on the shoulder of the giant soldier . It was almost healed now but the damage seemed enough to tear off the arm .
It wasn't perfect but Pluto was a terrible weapon capable of exerting power equivalent to a narrative-grade constellation when there wasn't a passenger on board . Yet this weapon received such damage .
I approached the door . The door was over 30 metres in height and there was a pattern similar to a human face .
Yoo Jonghyuk said, "There must be an offering to enter . "
Kim Namwoon was surprised by Yoo Jonghyuk's words . [How do you know that?]
I ignored Kim Namwoon and replied, "I know . I'm ready . "
"If your offering is too powerful, you will call the ancient giants . "
"I'll have to meet them eventually . "
" . . . Not now . We will die if we meet them now" There was tension in the expression of the prideful Yoo Jonghyuk .
There were different types of giants in Tartarus . One type was the rulers of Olympus who caused Titanomachy, the ancient giants called the titans . The other type was the gigantes who caused Gigantomachia . If I had to divide them by levels, it was the difference between a myth-grade constellation and a narrative-grade constellation . The ones I dared to call were the gigantes .
"Don't worry . A titan-grade giant won't emerge unless there is a high-grade item among the star relics . . . "
At this moment, an earthquake occurred .
[The configuration of Tartarus is becoming unstable!]
The moment I realized something was wrong, the door suddenly opened and a huge hand grabbed Yoo Jonghyuk .
"Yoo Jonghyuk!"
I reached out for Yoo Jonghyuk as two more hands emerged from inside the door . I hurriedly dodged using Electrification but Kim Namwoon wasn't lucky .
[Uwaaaack! Save me!]
The next moment, more than 10 hands covered me . My body became a mess in the closed space created by the hands and by the time I came to my senses, I was hanging upside down in the air . My shaky vision could see the huge hand that grabbed me .
[The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is strongly activated!]
Sparks bounced and the 'status' was so full that it filled the surroundings . I felt like my existence could burst apart at any moment . A huge, blunt finger was tapping my ass .
[There is a cute fly . ]
A huge eye resembling the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint stared at me .
