Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Chapter 433: Reclaiming The Position (3)

It was astonishing.

No matter how much trickery was used, for a living being to enter the tool box…

When this actually happened, Seol-Hwi was the one who was rather flustered.

‘Did I just deceive the system?’

Just a moment ago, the system stated that living things couldn’t enter the tool box.

Even so, Songhwa entered, which meant they had just violated the rules within the system.

‘No. It must be that a loophole appeared in the system, or a sealed secret was unlocked.’

Ordinary methods wouldn’t have even attempted such a thing.

What made this possible was the North Star. The consequence of that one’s death was absolute.

The mysterious technique Songhwa performed was made possible by the elixir obtained from killing the Big Dipper Star, and the sorcery handed over by Shin Yaja.

“I’m suddenly curious about what answer the simulation will provide.”

To Seol-Hwi, this seemed closer to being unplanned rather than a flaw.

This is because not just anyone can kill the gods within the system here.

‘If Songhwa entered through the Mysterious Escape of Gates Technique, it means others can enter as well.’

The reason Seol-Hwi came up with this method was actually due to the disposal of the Cult Leader.

In a past life, the player was rampaging within the Cult Leader’s body.

It will likely be the same now.

Upon reaching the state of Profound Demon, one can sense the strange phenomena of the world and know that something has intervened.

‘What level could it be…’

According to Sa Yu-kang, the Cult Leader he faced seemed to be a player who could be called the Creator.

It was called a player, but looking back now, it seemed as if the Creator was pretending to be a player just to tease Sa Yu-kang in that situation.

Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense for a player to rise to the rank of Demon God.

And the player he faced in the past was in the second stage of Profound Demon, and the AI was Shin Yaja.

Sa Yu-kang sacrificed his life to kill the player to eliminate that guy.

What about this life then?

Is the current Cult Leader a player from the past, or a new player?

Also, to what extent is the player’s level?

“Anyway, this solves one big concern.”

The reason he had been reluctant to face the Cult Leader was because the Creator was behind him.

Killing the Cult Leader would cause the Creator to appear, so he had to avoid the fight as much as possible.

But if the player assigned as the Cult Leader is sealed with the toolbox?

He realized that he could completely ruin this game without killing the Cult Leader.

‘I’ll thoroughly smash the design you created.’

Seol-Hwi suddenly seemed to understand why another player besides himself was made the Heavenly Demon.

In the case where a player other than the one designated by the Creator becomes the Cult Leader.

It could eliminate the successor contest itself.

In other words, it was designed to place a player in the position of Cult Leader to prevent the change in the Demonic Cult’s structure.

“Hmm.”

Seol-Hwi looked out the window. He recalled the last words of End Demon, who had just left.

- Let’s cooperate.

He knew that the offer of cooperation came with the condition “if I become the Cult Leader.”

Right now, it doesn’t matter even if it’s a bit suspicious.

Once End Demon ascends to the position of Cult Leader, he’ll notice that something is going strangely in the world they are in.

It was the moment when the first meaningful step of the plan was set in motion.

The news about the Cult Leader came well past evening.

A secret warrior arrived first to inform about the route, and an hour later, core warriors reported on the people and numbers escorting the figure.

“The Cult Leader is staying at the Fertile Crescent in the Heavenly King’s Residence. It is expected that after finishing the affairs, they will move back to the Cult Leader’s Hall.”

“Any casualties during the activities?”

“Fortunately, none. There weren’t as many people guarding the surroundings as usual. Perhaps…”

Seol-Hwi understood well enough without needing to be told that it was because the location was the Fertile Crescent.

The Fertile Crescent of the Heavenly King’s Residence was where the beautiful women of the main sect gathered.

It seemed that this player pretending to be the leader had a keen interest in indulgence.

Due to such a leisurely and indulgent lifestyle, it seemed that the core warriors and secret warriors could easily slip around.

“But my lord, that outfit…”

This was the first question the secret warriors asked as soon as they saw Seol-Hwi.

The core warriors, who arrived later, had the same reaction.

It was inevitable, as Seol-Hwi’s current attire was strange to anyone who saw it.

[Equipped Dragonfly Eyes.] [Equipped Beetle Wings.] [Equipped Centipede Legs.]

The armor left behind by the fallen Big Dipper Star.

When first worn, it was surprisingly comfortable.

What the Big Dipper wore was very large, but it had the effect of adjusting to fit the body size.

However, it was cumbersome, and the centipede legs were too repulsive.

[Stored Centipede Legs in the toolbox.] [Stored Rhinoceros Beetle Horn in the toolbox.] [Stored Wasp Mandibles in the toolbox.]

Except for three things, he wore the dragonfly eyes and beetle wings to meet his subordinates.

“Ah. This is…”

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

Seol-Hwi stopped, thinking the explanation would be too lengthy.

It would take more time to explain what the absolute defense gear was.

“I’ll tell you if there’s a chance later.”

Seol-Hwi walked among the warriors. Then, he gave instructions again at the door.

“Do not follow me and wait here. I will go myself.”

“Lord. But……”

“If you get involved in a fight, you might get hurt. This time, it’s beyond what you can handle.”

Ma Tae-ryong spoke on behalf of the group, but Seol-Hwi clearly expressed his refusal.

No more questions were asked, and Seol-Hwi walked out alone.

“Well then, shall we go?”

Pa-pat.

Seol-Hwi swiftly stepped on the roof and leaped.

However, instead of rushing towards the Heavenly King’s residence in one leap, he rose high in place.

There was a reason for this.

It was to make his body as small as possible using the Hidden Shadow Transformation Technique.

Flap.

‘Oh! It works!’

Despite shrinking his body to the size of an insect in an instant, his armor also shrank with him.

As a result, Seol-Hwi, along with the flapping of his wings, ascended into the sky.

His movement was so comfortable that changing direction felt as easy as walking on the ground.

It was like a divine being moving.

‘Wow. My field of vision has completely changed too?’

Ever since reaching the Transcendence stage and Demonic Qi Liberation, he could sense even the faintest presence of qi from afar.

But being able to see them clearly with the naked eye like now was another level entirely.

Not only that, but his vision extended not just forward, but also up, down, and behind.

The dragonfly eyes were not just simple armor but also had visual functions.

“This is truly… a divine artifact.”

When he killed the Big Dipper Star and obtained the divine artifact, Seol-Hwi had only thought of trying it out.

Actually using it was nothing short of amazing.

“Shall I go then?”

Moving through the sky like a bird, Seol-Hwi swiftly traveled to the Heavenly King’s Residence.

Even though he didn’t know the exact location, Seol-Hwi could now see all of the main cult and roughly estimate the position.

Seol-Hwi, having shrunk to the size of a dragonfly, was circling around the Heavenly King’s Residence.

The night was dark, but thanks to his dragonfly eyes, he could clearly scan everything around him.

The pleasure place reserved solely for the Cult Leader within the main sect was none other than Fertile Crescent.

There were more than twenty women soaking themselves in the warm water.

“Was it true that they selected pretty women separately to supply to the main cult?”

He had heard such rumors during his time at the Supreme Pavilion.

Selecting women for the high-ranking individuals.

They did not go through the usual institutions like Heavenly Training but headed straight to the main cult.

Now it seemed that all the selected beauties were gathered here.

“So what happened?”

“I just hugged him tight like this!”

“Kyaah!”

Passing by the soft voices of the women, Seol-Hwi checked the warriors on guard.

As the secret warrior reported, there were seven in total.

‘These are not the ones guarding the Cult Leader. The one on the roof must be the hidden agent.’

The men standing here and there seemed to be managing this Fertile Crescent.

If comparing to the Supreme Pavilion, a woman playing the role of Heuk-bi was waiting on the roof.

If something happens, she will send a signal to one side, and the Cult Leader’s guards, spread throughout the wide building, will swarm in.

“It’s bothersome to worry about this and that.”

Whirrr.

Seol-Hwi descended to the ground and slowly approached the vicinity of the hot springs. Then, he hid in a suitable blind spot.

Rustle.

He returned to his original appearance.

Afterward, he placed the absolute defense armor he was wearing into the toolbox.

“Huh?”

“Who?”

When a stranger appeared, there was no reaction at first, but then a few people began to recognize him.

However, Seol-Hwi easily reached the place where the Cult Leader was, without paying any mind to them.

“Huh?”

“Who are you?”

The women were laughing and chatting in the unknown hot springs.

When they saw the unfamiliar man, they were flustered and quickly began glancing at one man’s reaction.

“Why are you being like this? Just because you can’t get into my arms…”

Cheon Wol-seong, who had been chuckling, turned his head to follow the women’s gaze.

Then, upon seeing Seol-Hwi in plain clothes, his laughter quickly faded.

Afterward, he swept up and down with his arms open and then raised his voice.

“Everyone, leave.”

At those words, the women left the bath without a reply. It seemed they conveyed it to the nearby women as well, as all the women around started to leave the bath.

Splash.

Seol-Hwi entered the bath and sat down.

He quietly watched from the shallow water that reached his waist, unlike other places, while still wearing his shoes.

“…….”

“…….”

The opponent was also silent.

Thus, the two of them silently stared at each other for a long time.

“Huh. Heh heh. Hehehe!”

It was Cheon Wol-seong who broke the silence first.

He giggled as if the tense situation suddenly became amusing, and then began to speak.

“This… I didn’t expect you to come directly. Usually, disappearing without a reason is the natural course.”

“That’s true.”

Seol-Hwi chuckled, agreeing with Cheon Wol-seong’s words.

The idea of disappearing without any reason seemed natural.

It meant that players like him usually ended their lives without even seeing the face of the Cult Leader.

This time, Seol-Hwi asked.

“Is this our first meeting?”

“Yes. It is our first meeting.”

From a few short exchanges, Seol-Hwi could gather a lot of information.

The player in front of him had never met him before.

In other words, the player Cheon Wol-seong whom Seol-Hwi had faced in the past had perished among the hundreds of lives lost since then.

Another thing was.

He didn’t expect to be sought out directly. Usually, they disappear without a reason.

It also means that other players emerged and died while Seol-Hwi repeated hundreds of deaths.

Just like Seo Ryeong.

In the end, it meant that within this system Seol-Hwi had entered, players he didn’t know were repeatedly dying and being reborn.

That’s why Seol-Hwi found the conversation with Cheon Wol-seong more intriguing.

“How is it? Life as a Cult Leader?”

“It’s good. Always new and enjoyable. Sometimes, I even feel the need for some stimulation.”

“That’s a life everyone envies.”

“Being chosen is just as difficult. Like the unbridgeable gap between you and me.”

“A gap.”

Seol-Hwi nodded.

Half wrong, but half right at the same time.

The starting line of a life at the bottom and an innate life.

It’s impossible to gauge how many repetitions of life can fill that gap.

Of course, the fact that there are those who have overflowed beyond what they’ve filled is something he missed.

“So, how many lives do you have left now?”

Seol-Hwi asked again.

He wanted to know more.

The only person who could tell him what this world was like…

At the moment, was the player possessing Cheon Wol-seong’s body.
