Chapter Title: Guild Master Isn't Enough with Just the Game
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While the members of SpaceKing's guild witnessed Dart's death in real time and fell into shock.
Waaaaah—!!!
In stark contrast, the guild alliance forces, buoyed by Kaisha's victory, let out frenzied cheers as they began slaughtering SpaceKing's guild members.
Boom!! Kaboom!!
Death logouts popped up one after another.
In the midst of the hellish chaos, the few SpaceKing guild members who had barely survived fled at top speed to a range where they could teleport to avoid a dog's death.
Above them, as the defeated teleported away through gates, Kaisha spread her arms wide.
Kaisha soared high into the sky, buffeted by the wind.
Higher. Even higher.
Her body trembled with an indescribable thrill of ecstasy.
The sensation of victory she had craved so desperately, time and again.
The feeling of owning the whole world.
The triumph was exhilarating yet unbelievably serene.
As if she had reclaimed something she had long forgotten.
Kaisha, who had risen endlessly into the high skies, glanced down at the dizzying drop below.
Yes, just like.
A god.
"Ha...."
The moment Kaisha lifted her head.
Crack—
A fissure split the sky.
[Congratulations! Kaisha-nim has been confirmed as the final winner of Channel 43!]
[You have ascended as the Supreme God of this channel.]
[The prize money has been delivered.]
[The dimensional boundary has been lifted.]
[The final event will begin shortly.]
[Countdown: 777 seconds]
[00:12:57]
Kaisha glanced at the alert window, a flicker of doubt in her eyes, but she quickly pieced it together.
Weichen was the last remaining land.
Thus, this 99th siege was exceptionally special.
Though the alert was visible only to Kaisha, it wasn't strange at all for a special additional event to trigger right away.
Zing—!
The blue sky shivered faintly as if trembling, glowing brightly, then suddenly shattered with a sound.
Crack, craack, crraaaack—
And then,
Clang—
Kashaaa!!!
[First boundary lift complete.]
It shattered into countless pieces, raining down radiant starlight.
[Stars are falling.]
[Accumulated support from this time is being credited.]
[Countless stars have been cheering for and watching you in Channel 43.]
[Show them an awesome pose!]
Kaisha grinned at the graphic effects celebrating her victory, clenching her fists tight.
As Kaisha activated her ceremony skills, dazzling fireworks erupted even in broad daylight, swirling around her body with sparkles and light effects galore.
Whoaaa—!
From the ground below, gasps of awe joined in the ceremony.
Splashhhh, crack, zing, craaack!!
Bang! Baaang! Bang!! Babababaang—!!
Whoooosh, whiiish—!!
In the midst of the victory ceremony that threatened to intoxicate her completely, Kaisha suddenly opened her mouth.
"Now."
Had she turned on a megaphone? Her voice rang out clearly across the ground.
The players, who had been celebrating and cheering Kaisha and the alliance's victory while firing off all sorts of effects, froze and perked up their ears.
Kaisha, now undeniably the strongest in VFA.
Amid the broken sky crumbling like stars and the flashy cascade of ceremony effects, Kaisha raised her hand.
Snap.
Pointing toward the 2 o'clock direction.
"We begin the assault on Calba."
Calba was the land located in northern Weichen, SpaceKing's frontline territory.
The counterattack had begun.
* * *
At the very moment Kaisha claimed final victory.
["Twaaa!!! Twaaaak!!!"]
["Uwaaaah!!!!"]
["Kwaaaah—!!!"]
The real-time game broadcast flipped completely upside down.
The hosts, who had been wearing party hats and waving placards while blowing party horns, hurled them all away and screamed in rage.
If a newbie viewer like 'Viewer1' had just tuned in, they would've been startled by the mad ravings and fled—but the live chat was no different from the broadcast scene.
[GodKa!!!!!! Uwaaaaaah!!!!!!]
[Waaaaahㅠㅠㅠㅠ Kaisha-nimㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ!!!!]
[Wahh damnㅠpyuㅠ ㅠCamen!!!!!]
[Ohh insane;;;]
[Kiyayaaooo!!!]
[ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[GodKa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Aaaah unnie!!!!!!!!!!!]
[God Kaisha Christ......]
[That's right this is itㅅbaa]
[Wow crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[I smacked the back of my own head so hard for saying what Camen. Sorry, I respect you.]
[So overwhelming I'm having breathing trouble for real]
[That person was right....]
[She's a god, a god]
[Camen]
[Wahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Her victory pose is so感動 cool]
[Oaaaaah!!!!!!!!!]
[Crazy! Goosebumps all over my body!!! Real chills!!;;;]
[Uwaaaaㅏㅏㅏaaaaak]
[Ka-god..... my light... religion.....]
[Ha... Camen......]
[Ya damnㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ emotionalㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Everybody God!!!! Camen!!!!!]
[My chest is swelling so much it's gonna explode]
[I know nothing about the game but it's so fun I'm just shut up and tearing up]
[So jealous of the playersㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Camen!! Camen!!! Cameeeen!!!!]
[This is what a god is]
[She shredded it]
[Oh Ka-god Camen Camen Hallelujah]
[Kruuuuuu]
[I acknowledge her as god clap clap clap]
[I feel like I lived just for this moment and Kaisha damn so cool my heart's bursting with emotion tears are coming... damn.......]
[When Light Kaisha defeated Dart and created heaven and earth, the world began... Genesis 999]
[Thanks dawg]
[No for realㅠㅠㅠㅠ our GodKa heungㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Our religion forever Camen]
The comments flooded in at a mad pace.
While the hosts and viewers were swept up in madness, collectively ascending to heaven, the Fullminak and Goldbunker alliance forces began vanishing from Iska one by one.
["Ah, dizzy."]
["Huh? Where's my party hat?"]
The frenzied hosts snapped out of it a beat late and scrambled back to their seats.
["That person and her faithful meat shields are marching off somewhere again. Humanely, let's not backstab, meat—no, Goldbunker."]
["Who dares backstab GodKa? Do it and your head explodes in real life."]
["Right. My fist flies first."]
["Heading to Calba, right?"]
["Probably, whoa! Look at that Roto punk saluting the god. The guy who can't do social life is racking up points over there."]
["Jealous bastard."]
Suddenly, the hosts' jealousy exploded.
In the footage, several Goldbunker guild members landed near the ground and saluted Kaisha respectfully.
Then teleported away.
["My stomach suddenly hurts."]
["Truth is, the competition to be a Goldbunker broadcast host was fierce. Today more than ever, I regret not being there."]
["I was active in sieges too. This siege looked so fun, just venting a bit."]
["Kaisha sets off."]
["Infinite glory on the path of God."]
["Camen."]
["Camen."]
The chat filled with [Camen] in a row.
Somehow, Goldbunker's VFA broadcast was steadily turning into genuine religious content.
* * *
[You have died.]
[Login impossible for the next 10 minutes.]
[00:10:00]
Logged out of VFA and forcibly logged into real life, Dart—no, Lee Sa-hyeok—sat up, spitting curses.
"Fuck—!!!"
He wiped his sweat-drenched face with both hands.
"Ha."
Goddamn it.
His whole body was soaked in tension sweat.
He had tied with Kaisha in one-on-one fights three times already during their encounters. He had thought maybe he'd lose once at this rate.
But to completely hide her power.
The very concept of hiding power hadn't even crossed his mind, though something had felt off the whole time.
Even though he sensed the incongruity, he hadn't caught it properly because, since starting VFA, he'd never once been pushed from the rankings.
"......"
Alerts kept blaring.
Ding, ding—
Sa-hyeok scowled at the flood of notification windows scrolling up.
He couldn't log back in until the 10 minutes were up anyway—what were they messaging him for?
And his lock screen photo was Kaisha.
Lee Sa-hyeok glared holes into his phone's lock screen.
Might as well change it now?
Her physical prowess aside, even just the creepy way she smooched Messiah made it clear she was some dude.
"Ha."
Reality crashed down on Lee Sa-hyeok's face hard.
No idea why a guy sucked Helcannon off so much, but maybe he was the type obsessed with looks over NPC gender like Hella.
"This is it, you fucker."
Furious at his own defeat, Sa-hyeok was about to change the lock screen photo when his phone suddenly rang.
Bzzz.
"What!!"
["Q-quick, they say log in fast......"]
One of the non-combat guild members had called to relay messages from those in the fight.
Since everyone was busy battling.
"......"
I just died, give me a break, you bastards.
Sa-hyeok started to snap but swallowed a sigh. Annoying, but as guild master, he had to do his job.
["Anyway, looks like we can't hold Calba."]
"Tell Binu to handle it. I'll log in within 5 minutes."
["Binu asks if we should just abandon Calba, fall back to Tereb, and hold out?"]
Sa-hyeok's eyes nearly shot sparks.
"......Wanna die?"
The guild member on the other end gulped.
Not trusting Sa-hyeok's "handle it yourself" and double-checking had been the right call.
Sa-hyeok had said handle it, but taking that literally meant you weren't a SpaceKing guild member.
Calba-Tereb-Avrilia.
Calba was the frontline, Tereb right behind as rear guard.
Binu's words meant retreating from Calba without a proper fight.
Dart, with his massive pride, would never allow it.
Of course, the guild member had anticipated Sa-hyeok's reaction and checked again.
["Y-yeah, thought so? I'll tell them that."]
Click.
"......Ha."
Virtual reality's immersion was insane.
That's why dying too brutally in-game left lingering aftereffects.
From the massive impact and rapid fall, Sa-hyeok's real body was drenched in cold sweat.
Wanted to wash his face.
Sa-hyeok pulled up his shirt to roughly wipe the sweat from his face and started logging back in.
Since his character was dead, it wasn't full login—he could only spectate his guild members' situation and chat in standby mode.
Binu wanting to abandon Calba outright meant things were that dire.
No helping it.
Kaisha was there now.
