Episode 121 – Time Warfare – VS Team Killernoid (2)
A large-scale event match to commemorate GGG's update, 'Time Warfare'.
As word of mouth began to spread, the number of viewers soon approached 50,000.
And of course, among those many viewers were GGG staff members.
“Hey, no matter how I look at it, isn’t this made too difficult?”
The GGG building, full of lights even late at night, and the large conference room located inside.
The heads of the development and business departments were watching the broadcast together.
“This is completely different from the flow I originally planned. Are you sure this is okay?”
The business manager did not hide his worries. The two managers were colleagues at the same company and had a close relationship, so they could talk comfortably.
“It’s definitely a bit different from the in-house test.”
“No, what the heck! It’s completely different!”
“I didn’t know people would be this uncooperative.”
The development manager answered with a cold expression.
“Don’t worry too much though. It’s not that it’s easy, it’s that it’s hard.”
“Are you okay?”
“Currently, Killeroid is set to 60% of the Purple Data. Looking at it, it would be appropriate to lower it to around 40%.”
The business manager's eyes widened at that explanation.
“60%? It’s only 60%, and all those people got cut down?”
“I told you, if we had cooperated, it wouldn’t have gotten like this?”
“No, wait… … Then what about the final boss? What % is the Annihilator?”
The business manager looked back at his colleague with anxious eyes. He answered calmly.
“Of course, 100%.”
“100%!? Are you crazy!?”
“Oh, this kid is acting crazy all of a sudden? If it’s easy to conquer an event at the beginning, the interest will drop and the number of mod users will plummet. Isn’t that what you said?”
“No, but that’s… … !”
“So we’ll start at 100% and adjust it downwards little by little. Everything has already been discussed, so why are you bringing it up again now?”
The business manager had nothing to say. As his colleague had said, the plan had already been confirmed.
But even so, did you know that the difficulty would be this high?
“Ah, I’ll go. Hey, it’s my data though. Purple, the Purge Day team can win, right? Huh? No, no. We have to win. We’ll win, right?”
“I can’t guarantee that.”
“Why!? It’s my data!?”
“That’s true, but there’s also the character concept. And since he’s the final boss, I gave him a lot of health and equipped him with a good weapon. And… … ”
"ah……"
The business manager, whose face had turned pale, put his hand on his head. No other explanation went into his ears.
“If we do this wrong, it could look like we’re not going to pay out the prize money. Then the community will probably start making a fuss… …”
He muttered and clasped his hands together.
“Please win, please… … !”
There was nothing we could do right now.
He wished for Purge Day's victory and a smooth conclusion to the event.
* * *
The Purge Day team was moving towards Uptown, the final battle location.
[Killeroid >>Pulse Rifle>> Gamorrip]
[SYSTEM >>Electro Field>> Umpa Doompa]
…
Meanwhile, death messages from the remaining survivors were surfacing. Not only the Killeroids, but also those who died from the magnetic field.
And the result.
[4 people survived]
The number of survivors is four.
The Purge Day team became the last squad.
“Oh, originally we were supposed to win.”
The genie who was holding the steering wheel said with a regretful tone. In the previous mode, the game would have ended with a victory message, but it was different now.
“There are three killeroids left, and one final boss. The situation is not so good.”
“After a hard battle, glory follows.”
“Please continue to maintain the order, Purple-sama. I am a human specialist.”
Lee Kyung-bok nodded at the last words of the genome.
“Okay. First, let’s divide up the weapons we’ve acquired. Newton will keep the railgun, and Sir Eclipse will keep the laser sword.”
“Uh… … I’m sorry for talking about it so quickly after just saying that. What about me?”
“If you are confident that you can shoot better than Newton, you can take it.”
Lee Kyung-bok answered Genome's question with a bright smile.
“Wow, I get it now.”
As soon as Genie pulled out his tail, laughter spread throughout the chat window.
-Ah, haha, if you have confidence, take it.
-As expected, my brother is good at grasping topics!
-Drive straight!
-It was an undeniable logic lol
-But what about Godple?

-Really lol If you look at skill, Godple should take it
Newton didn't pay any attention to the chat window, but her opinion was no different from that of the viewers.
“If it’s given because of your skills, shouldn’t you take it?”
“Oh, I’m fine. I got the hang of it once I got used to it. I can handle it even without future weapons.”
His unhesitating answer caused silence to flow inside the car for a moment. A question mark appeared in the chat window, as if representing their feelings.
“Well, it might be possible if it’s Purple Kyung.”
“If that’s what you mean, then I’ll accept it.”
“Wait a minute, what do you mean ‘I’?”
Genie soon realized something was strange and turned his head away.
“It sounds like you’re going to deal with it alone, Purple. Surely not?”
“Of course not.”
Lee Kyung-bok laughed awkwardly and shook his head. Before Genome could feel relieved, he continued speaking.
“You will all face each other individually.”
"yes?!"
“Purple Kyung?”
“What are you talking about?”
The team members were astonished.
The chat window was also abuzz with that remark.
-What? Each of us is our opponent?
-Another God of War attack is coming out here?
-No;;; What if the opponent is a killeroid?
-Ah haha perfect- Are you kidding?
-Really lol why are you taking this so seriously?
-Is this the perfect joke?
But contrary to viewers' expectations, Lee Kyung-bok was sincere.
“Uptown has taller buildings than downtown. It’s relatively difficult to surround.”
“That’s true, but… … ”
“Besides, the Killeroids won’t just sit back and watch. There’s also the risk that we’ll be surrounded in reverse.”
The team members nodded their heads. After hearing it, it turned out that it wasn't wrong.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled as he looked at them.
“But it’s not all bad. As I said, the circumstances are different. In fact, it might be easier than at a military base.”
“Easy?”
“We also have a future weapon. And if it’s 1:1, you can use your abilities 100%.”
The other two nodded as if they understood the explanation, but one person was different.
“Oh, Purple? As I said before, you know that I don’t have any future weapons, right?”
“Yes, so Genome-nim needs to respond differently.”
“Any other response?”
“Run and gun, hit and run, just keep holding him down until the other team members clear out and reinforcements arrive. Your situational awareness is amazing, isn’t it?”
The chat window responded immediately to those words.
-This way, we can definitely avoid a counter-siege.
-If you do aggro, you'll be a jerk again lol
-My brother is very perceptive.
-A person who lacks skill but has good eyesight
-Ah haha it's so funny how it's so relative
-But this is called run and gun, lol. Isn't it actually a Chuno meta?
-You said you were ugly, but you really became ugly
-What the heck? Are you crazy?
As usual, the viewers were serious about teasing Genie. Genie himself soon burst into laughter and asked back.
“Then what about Purple?”
“I want to take on the final boss.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly.
As they got closer to Uptown, the threat Shingi sensed grew more intense, but her smile only grew darker.
'An NPC created based on my data… '
Beneath that smile was pure curiosity.
“I wonder what his skills are like.”
* * *
Now there is only one squad left.
The attention of the casters and commentators broadcasting the event could not help but be focused there.
“Oh, now Purple has come up with another bold strategy!”
“What the heck is going on? Is there something addictive about the individual attacks?!”
“Of course, Purple’s reasons are valid, but I really want to say this.”
When Lee Gyeong-bok tried to carry out the individual attack again, all three were shocked.
That boldness was one reason, but there was another reason.
“Have you forgotten that we’re the ones hosting the event!? We were supposed to be commentating on the squad battle?! But the squad battles we know aren’t showing up at all!”
“That’s absolutely right! Unlike Purple, we’re not octacore! And if you divide us like this, how are we supposed to do the commentary?!”
The chat window was filled with laughter at that explanation.
-Ugh lol, that's right
-I feel so wronged as a commentator lol
-Oh my goshㅋㅋㅋ Since I can't explain, I'll try to fill the audio with jokesㅋ
-This is the commentary team, the drip team
-Ah lol, seriously, it was Purple's fault
-???: You said it was a squad battle! You said it was squads fighting each other!
-Squad Battle (Ganple)
Jeong So-yoon laughed at this and quickly organized her comment.
“Okay, of course I’m joking. We can’t force the strategy that the Purge Day team has chosen. It’s right for us, who have to do the commentary, to follow along. But as the viewers can see, the situation has become unavoidable, right? I think we need to focus on one of the four players. Let’s figure out the situation first!”
As the commentators filled in the audio, the Purge Day team arrived at their destination, Uptown.
They dispersed in different directions as planned. Along with this, the screen was divided into four sections to chase them.
“Okay, let’s first look at the situation of Newton. As planned, the railgun is hers. If we go this way, what kind of killeroids are there?”
“Oh, the screen is now turning towards the opponent. I can see the weapon the Killeroid is holding.”
“Pulse, it’s a pulse rifle! Oh, this one is so bad! Unlike the rechargeable railgun, it’s a firearm that can fire in rapid succession!?”
The commentators sighed and raised their voices. If Newton's attack missed, he would be exposed defenselessly while it charged.
“I guess we’ll have to wait and see how things turn out. Oh, the screen is changing again!”
“It’s Eclipse! A knight skin, a laser sword, and a frying pan! It’s unbalanced, but somehow it fits!”
“The enemy Killeroid is… …! Aaah, this one’s not good either! It’s a plasma shotgun! The bullet pool is too large to be blocked by a single frying pan!?”
Coincidentally, Eclipse also did not have good compatibility with the Killeroids it had to deal with. The commentators were expressing their regret over this.
“Oh, something just flashed!”
“What is it? Where is it!?”
“Has the fighting begun!?”
The screen changed immediately, and inside it, the genome was moving at full speed.
“Ah, Genome! It’s Genome Player! He’s the first to encounter Killeroid!”
“Fortunately, this time our opponent is a railgun! If you dodge it well, you can live a long time! It’s the best matchup!”
“But the problem is that Genome Player doesn’t have a weapon to deal with his opponent! It seems like a stalemate will continue! Still, I’m holding on with the explosive trident I’ve prepared!”
Genome caught the Killeroid's attention by throwing grenades, smoke bombs, and flashbangs that he had stockpiled.
Surprisingly, it was a battle with the highest survival rate, but it was also a battle that would not end easily.
“Okay, now for the last one. Let’s look at Purple’s screen! As you all expected, this is what we have to deal with!”
The screen changed with Jeong So-yoon's comment. Lee Kyung-bok was running towards a giant pillar of light between the buildings.
“Yes! Purple’s skills are skills, but the core of the event! We have to show you Annihilator!?”
“Honestly, I doubt if a 1:1 is possible. But what if the challenger is Purple? I can’t help but watch this!”
The commentators added additional explanations.
-Ah lol this is an invincible ticket okay
-You're not going to show us fighting the final boss? The event is just going to be a total disaster.
-If you don't broadcast it, I'll probably curse you^^
-Honestly, the other members are awesome too, but I can't stand the final boss, Godpleㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn't this a real match between inhuman and non-human?
-If you turn the screen to a different place, GGG's stock price will immediately crash ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol I'm going straight to hell
There was no opposition to that decision.
Viewers also naturally accepted that fact.
With that, the four-split screen disappeared, leaving only Lee Kyung-bok's observer cam.
“Ah, now we meet!”
“Annihilator! It definitely looks different from the Killeroid!”
“It’s smooth, not skeletal like a skeleton! It reminds me of a mannequin or a ball-jointed doll!”
The Annihilator that emerged from the pillar of light looked like a human, but its head had no facial features.
“Wow, the developers really made the difficulty higher on purpose!”
“What does that mean? Can you explain it a little more?”
“Other killeroids had eyes, right? The presence or absence of eyeballs makes a big difference. You can tell where they’re aiming, and you can destroy them to create a blind spot like Newton did!”
“That’s right. It’s a kind of weakness! But right now, the Annihilator doesn’t seem to have that weakness! And the fact that it doesn’t have eyes also means that it can detect things from all directions, front, back, left, and right?!”
The chat window shook as the commentators explained.
-No, you're crossing the line like a dog.
-You made this to be broken?
-GGG guys, aren't you actually not going to give out the prize money?
-Did you just hear the Kingly God's voice?
-It's also a bit strange that it's smaller than other killeroids.
-Your physique is similar to Godple's?
-I think it's because they wanted to make it harder to hit than a normal killeroid.
-Are you really going to break this by yourself?
-Miss, lol if it were someone else I would have thought it was a failure, but since it's Godple, I don't know
Soon, the commentator's explanation was proven correct. Annihilator looked towards the building where Lee Kyung-bok was taking cover and immediately raised his weapon.
There was a flash of blue light, and a light ball the size of a cannonball was shot out. At the same time, there was a loud noise and the building was destroyed.
“Ah! It’s Annihilator’s first attack! What happened to Purple?!”
“Hey, I’m alive. Thank goodness I’m alive! I barely avoided the attack! You have amazing reflexes!”
“Wow! It’s the Annihilator’s weapon, the Ion Cannon!? It’s the most powerful weapon among the future weapons that were updated this time!”
Jeong So-yoon and the commentators raised their voices in horror.
Lee Gyeong-bok started running quickly through the thick clouds of dust.
“Purple Player! Let’s move for now! I think I’ve really felt the power of the Ion Cannon! Just by looking at the name, how much power do you think the cannon will have?”
“Compared to the existing weapons, Alabong, ah! Sorry! I got too excited!”
“Let me explain instead! To put it simply, it’s an improved version of the RPG-7G, an anti-tank rocket!? But, as you saw earlier, it’s automatically loaded and the velocity is crazy!”
“Yes! The building is about to be destroyed right now?! It feels like death if you just brush against it! However, Purple Player is not discouraged and is counterattacking!”
Lee Kyung-bok did not just take it. He started shooting while avoiding the falling debris and ion bombs.
But strangely enough, sparks started flying even before the bullet hit the ground.
“Huh? What’s going on now? Purple’s attack was blocked?! What’s going on!?”
“Wow, I’ll speak my mind. Developers! You were too greedy! How can you call this a barrier in this situation!?”
“I agree! It might be hard for viewers to see right now, but if you look closely, you can see a honeycomb, hexagonal shield appearing before the bullet hits!”
Before the bullet could even reach the Annihilator's body, a translucent barrier stopped it.
Weapons that shoot plasma, pulses, or lasers would be able to penetrate it easily, but it would be difficult with existing bullets.
-Wow lol You crossed the line from the start
-Dorshin, the developers?
-No QA? No in-house testing?
-Expected number of playthroughs in event mode to be in the three digits
-GGG stock price is going to be destroyed like a dog tomorrow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Hold on tight! You're falling!
-It turns out that what went back to the past was GGG stocks lol
-This is a real time warfare lol
Jeong So-yoon quickly turned her eyes away at the viewers' intense reaction.
“Aha, so that’s why we need future weapons! Now, everyone, don’t forget that the Purge Day Team’s situation is special right now. We’re supposed to work together to catch them!”
“That’s right! Why do we have hope? Because Purple Player is not just someone who does the work of one person!”
“But it’s still a difficult situation. I gave the railgun to Newton?! It seems that Purple, like Genome, has to run and gun to buy time!”
“But it’s none other than Purple! He’ll be able to survive long enough for the other players to arrive!”
Jeong So-yoon and the commentators desperately tried to predict the situation with hope. But when they actually said it, it wasn't wrong.
Because their voices were full of confidence.
“But I think the deadlock will continue for a while. If so, let’s look at the Newton players or the Eclipse players… …”
“Huh? Wait a minute! Purple is smiling right now! There’s a bright smile on his lips!”
“Player Purple, you keep counterattacking? You must have known about the barrier, but you’re not giving up!”
Jeong So-yoon was troubled by this.
No matter how popular Purple is, we couldn't just keep showing scenes of her running away. Purple is fighting back, but isn't it meaningless because of the barrier?
But her worries didn't last any longer.
“Huh? Huh!? Now, now! There’s a crack in the barrier! What’s going on!?”
“Pin point! One-point shot! Even I think it sounds ridiculous! Purple is hitting the point even in that situation!”
A crack appeared in a barrier that seemed impenetrable.
The commentators raised their voices as if they were going to spit out blood, and Jeong So-yoon's eyes lit up.
“Amazing! Purple player, you overturned everyone’s expectations! It wasn’t aggro-pulling, it was a real counterattack!”
“I can’t believe it! How can you be so precise with such violent movements!? This is beyond inhuman, it’s divine skill! It’s not for nothing that they call you a god!?”
“Leaving aside the commentator, as a player, I have goosebumps right now! Just being able to see this kind of play is a blessing! I can’t help but feel grateful!”
-Honestly, I also got goosebumpsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Thank you, Best Purple! Thank you, Best Purple!
-Godple! Godple! Godple! Godple!
-This is highly regarded by the heavens!
-Oh my! Thank you for being born in Korea!
-The commentators are really into it all day lol
-But just seeing this kind of play is worth my timeㅋㅋㅋ
-Another level? Another class no no Perfect level! Perfect class!
Amidst everyone's excitement, another catastrophe occurred.
“Whaaaaaah! We made it through! We finally made it through the barrier! Purple’s bullet hit the target!”
“We’ve achieved the efficiency of future weapons with existing weapons! Is this possible with just physical strength? It’s possible! If you’re a Purple player, it’s possible!”
“Okay! But the match isn’t decided yet! The Annihilator is a machine too!? It hit just now, but it doesn’t look like it did any damage!”
Since Jeong So-yoon was the cool-headed one, she explained the situation. The commentators who had been yelling loudly also realized the reality.
The Annihilator was unaffected by being shot.
“Oh, this is such a shame! It’s no exaggeration to say that what Purple has accomplished so far is unprecedented!”
“Yes. But in the end, is it difficult to overcome the difference in weapons? I keep thinking, what would it have been like if they had given the Annihilator at least one weakness?”
“That’s right. If only there had been some kind of future weapon, things would have been different. Did Purple realize that too? He stopped shooting!”
The commentators, who had been expressing their regrets, had to shout again without any time to rest their sore throats.
“Huh? But why did you stop running?”
“Huh? What’s going on now? What’s Purple thinking!?”
Lee Kyung-bok, who had been running continuously to evade, suddenly stopped and came face to face with the Annihilator.
There was no reason to miss this opportunity.
The Annihilator immediately aimed its ion cannon at Lee Kyung-bok.
No, to be exact, that's what I was trying to do. But the ion cannon didn't go up past a certain point.
“No, what’s going on!? The Annihilator suddenly stopped attacking!?”
“What is happening right now!? I am ashamed as a commentator, but I don’t understand the situation!”
“The organizers are now explaining the situation… … Ah, the screen is changing!”
The screen changed in an instant as countless question marks appeared in the chat window and even the commentators looked puzzled.
It's a bullet camera.
Lee Kyung-bok's shooting scene was replayed again. And the resulting scene shocked everyone.
"oh my god……!"
“This, this makes sense!?”
“What am I looking at right now!? Is this possible?!”
Jeong So-yoon and the commentators opened their mouths wide as if their jaws were falling off, and their pupils grew so big that they looked like they were going to pop out.
“Everyone! Purple Player’s bullet is lodged in his joint!”
At that moment, all the experience I had accumulated was of no use. All I could do was just describe the scene before my eyes.
-?
-Oh wait. I'm really tired, f*ck lol
-I screamed out loud as soon as I saw you
-You're crazy, you're really crazy
-This is so awesome ㅋㅋㅋ This was what I was aiming for from the beginning ㅋㅋㅋ
-It's not really a coincidence lol There's a barrier lol
-Wow, you just kept digging, targeting only the joints.
-It's amazing that you saw that small gap, and it's crazy that you matched it.
-If this isn't a miracle, what the f*ck is it?
The chat window froze again due to the explosive reaction.
“What really surprises me now is that Purple already knew this!”
“That’s right! I was confident! That’s why I was able to face it so confidently and calmly!”
“I know it’s really embarrassing for me to say something like that at this age, but you’re really so cool. If I were a little younger, I would’ve called you oppa right away.”
The commentators burst into laughter at Jeong So-yoon's comment. Her throat had completely gone numb from continuously screaming in high notes.
But that friendly atmosphere didn't last long.
“Huh!? Annihilator! Take out the laser sword!”
“Right now, right now, I cut off my own arm!”
“The situation is not over yet!”
When his joints became damaged and he could no longer attack, the Annihilator cut off his own joints with his laser sword.
Within moments, a booster was fired from beneath his feet, quickly closing the distance between him and Lee Kyung-bok.
Everyone was embarrassed, but the person involved, Lee Gyeong-bok, was still smiling.
He narrowly avoided the plasma blade, but the rifle he was holding did not.
“Player Purple! Luckily, you dodged!”
“Ah! But the rifle just got cut off!”
“I have no weapons! It’s a crisis!”
The commentators screamed as if they were going to cry at the sudden change in atmosphere. On the other hand, Lee Kyung-bok, the person involved, smiled brightly as if he was happy.
"it's okay."
He even spoke leisurely to the viewers.
“I trust my teammates.”
The reason why he said that was immediately revealed.
“Purple Sir!”
The observer cam panned with a shout. Eclipse ran towards him and threw his laser sword at him.
“Ah! It’s Eclipse!”
“Did you win!?”
“Reinforcements have arrived!”
All Killeroids were issued with laser swords as melee weapons. Eclipse had picked up the laser sword that her opponent had dropped.
"thank you!"
“I will go and save Genome Kyung!”
Contrary to the commentators' expectations, Eclipse answered as expected and immediately left the spot.
But no one regretted it.
“Purple Player, there’s a sword in your hand! The laser sword has arrived!”
“Everyone! This is Gunner Ground Broadcasting! Don’t forget!”
“I’m sure you all know what I mean! We have a game whose name we can’t name!”
The viewers immediately understood what the commentators meant.
-A game whose name I can't say lol
-Aunt Soyun stopped me right awayㅋㅋㅋ
-What kind of Eldemort are you? LOL
-Haha! We can say whatever we want!
-Ah, this cool and heavy feeling!
-It's only been a few days!
– It was a very short period of humiliation and persecution, and it was so tiresome!
-Thank you Eclipse!
-Elden's only sword, it's time to return to Godflow!
-What is unity? LOL
-In the meantime, just a few daysㅋㅋㅋ
-I can see it, I can see it!
-What kind of pervert are you talking about? Lol
Lee Kyung-bok faced Annihilator again, laughing in the viewers' chat.
“Your shooting skills aren’t as good as I thought.”
The plasma blade rose with a hissing sound.
“Let’s check out the swordsmanship side.”
At those words, the chat window erupted in cheers.
-Purple took up the sword? This is game over lol.
-No way lol This is it lol Isn't that it lol
-GGG: This is… … not it?
-What should I do~ What should I do~
-Crazy lol I really hate this lol
-I thought it was an Annihilator level test?
The mere fact that he had a sword in his hand was enough to make one expect something.
