“Guys.” Kang Chul-In spoke. “I’ll leave those dregs to you.”
Even he couldn’t take care of all the “guardians of the nest” at once.
“Of course, oppa.”
“Then will you give it to me once?”
“Leave it to me!”
“You can let us handle it, your Majesty!”
The nuance of each reaction was different, but the
No one would’ve been able to endure it if a storm whirled around inside their brain.
P-Pop! The surface of his brain began to explode like pus.
-Kang Chul-Innnnnn! Kek, kuuuuuuk…!
“You can take revenge in your dreams.”
-H-Huk!
“Alright, then I hope you have a nice time in hell with Alex Rothschild. Although, I don’t know if Rothschild will accept you.”
That was the end. Kang Chul-In put all the mana he had in Kaiforce, and the mega vortex in Lee Gong-Myung’s head became so large that it was like a typhoon.
-Keeek!
Lee Gong-Myung shouted his final scream.
“Let’s go.” Kang Chul-In quickly led his party away. “If we stay here any longer, we’ll be drenched with his brain fluids.”
The party rushed after Kang Chul-In to get out of the cave. No one looked back. They didn’t want to be covered in the brain fluids of an alien bug.
-Where are you going? Where are you going, Kang Chul-Iiiiiiiin!
Lee Gong-Myung screamed.
-I, I must take my revenge…! You can’t return alive…
But, Lee Gong-Myung couldn’t endure.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pooooop!
Hwiiiiiii! With the sound of wind spinning around, Lee Gong-Myung’s brain that was thousands of kilograms exploded.
But that wasn’t the end of it. The mega vortex didn’t stop. The nest began to come crumbling down.
“Run!” Kang Chul-In shouted.
“Let’s go together, Oppa!” Han Ye-Sun followed Kang Chul-In at a scary pace.
“Woohoo! Let’s run, run! Hahaha~!” Dorian laughed maniacally. It seemed he was feeling the thrill of the moment.
“Hey, you crazy bastard. What are you laughing about?” Hecate grumbled at him.
“Your Majesty! We have to get out quickly!” Lucia just worried about Kang Chul-In, like always.

Meanwhile...
“Hmmm… not yet?” Desdemona started at the status window in front of her. “Right about now…”
It was then...
Rank 2 - Overlord Lee Ji-Tae, dead!
The notification she had been waiting for finally popped up.
[Total ranking]
Rank 1- Supreme King of the West Kang Chul-In (most likely to become emperor!)
▶Required Lord Points to become emperor: 10,000 P
Rank 2- Overlord Lee Chae-Rin
Rank 3- Overlord Hecate
Rank 4- Overlord Dorian Explorer
※The remaining Overlords have passed away!
“Good.” Desdemona nodded. “That dirty virus is gone now. Alright, shall I get started?”
With Cereb eliminated, it was now possible to force the stop of the ranking system. It was time to make Kang Chul-In the final winner, the emperor!
“...النقد الدولي” She began to recite a spell.
***
Kang Chul-In’s party put the toppling Shatyameba territory behind them.
“Whew… we almost died.” Dorian sighed in relief. “Well, we wouldn’t have died anyway…”
Suddenly,
[Total ranking, 10 seconds until finished!]
A notification that Dorian could only consider strange popped up.
“T-Total ranking finished? What’s this? Is this a system error?”
“No.” Kang Chul-In shook his head. “It’s not a system error.”
“I-It’s not?”
“It’s a forced stop.”
“Forced… stop? What’s that?”
“It...”
“...?”
“It means that I’ll become emperor.”
“E-Emperor?”
“Wait for it.”
Kang Chul-In grinned.
[9, 8, 7, 6…]magic
The countdown began.
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1… 0!]
[Total ranking, finished! With the forced stop of the total ranking, the final winner will be chosen based on the current ranking!]
Kang Chul-In closed his eyes. I am the final victor. It was a desire he had for a long time. The dream he had before regressing, becoming emperor! That great ambition was becoming reality.
[The final victor of the total ranking will be announced!]
[3, 2, 1!]
[The final victor is... the one ranked first currently, the Supreme King of the West Kang Chul-In!]
As soon as the notification popped up, flash! A golden ray of light fell from the sky and swallowed Kang Chul-In.
