Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 305: The End of Civilization

 The Cloud Dragon was a dominant species that had reached the pinnacle of a world. A being that rules above all other species of warriors and mythical creatures. The resurrection of a dragon requires a great sacrifice.

[Collect offerings for the resurrection ritual of the Cloud Dragon.] [The more offerings, the sooner the resurrection will occur.] [The more clouds used for the offerings, the stronger the Cloud Dragon will become.]

Ha Eung Eung had a feeling. Now, with the mushroom clouds from nuclear explosions in the air, it was the perfect time to gather the clouds needed for the Cloud Dragon's resurrection. She had considered leading another Armored to force a nuclear explosion, but there was no other armored creature as massive as Armored Taejong.

‘If there was, I would have used it already.’

Ha Eung Eung used the whisper chat feature.

Ha Eung Eung: "I have a question." Eom Gil-dong: "I have one too. You’re human, right?" Ha Eung Eung: "What if I'm not?"

A read receipt appeared. The silence continued until Ha Eung Eung typed again.

 The silence that continued, showing Eom Gil-dong’s fear, urged Ha Eung Eung to press further.

Ha Eung Eung: "More importantly, I want to ask something." Eom Gil-dong: "...Just ask." Ha Eung Eung: "Where can I get offerings?"

Eom Gil-dong was afraid. A single armored creature, a sword, and a monster capable of overcoming nuclear explosions. What was this human, who didn’t even seem like a human, trying to do?

‘Wait. Isn’t hoarding treasures a trait of dragons?’

Could this person really be a dragon?

Finally showing its true colors, the Silent Dragon.How could someone be named Silent Dragon? 😂Oh no, now a more terrifying dragon has appeared after Cloud Dragon.

Even the notorious Eom Gil-dong trembled in fear, wondering what horrific deeds this new evil figure might perform.

Eom Gil-dong: "The treasure vault in the capital is the best bet." Ha Eung Eung: "And?"

And? That one treasure would fill an entire dragon’s lair and still have plenty left over. It was absurd, but what could be done? Power was power. Eom Gil-dong racked his brain.

Eom Gil-dong: "The commercial guild’s vault or the national bank’s vault should have plenty as well." Ha Eung Eung: "And?"

Now, Eom Gil-dong just listed various places without much thought. Suddenly, an odd notification appeared in front of him.

[Death Merchant title is evolving.] [Merchant of the Apocalypse]

"???"

Eom Gil-dong called up the details of the title.

Merchant of the Apocalypse: You are a merchant who sold the nation’s future, bringing about the apocalypse. All the powerful figures fear you.

Title Effect: Aura of the Apocalypse, Forced DissolutionWhat the hell was this? What was going on here?

Lmao 😂😂Why is the capital like this?I’m not the only one seeing this, right?What’s happening?Why is it only you guys seeing this?If you’re impressed, donate a video and show us! 😡

<Master of Goryeo’s Rainy Season donated 10,000 KRW!> Live stream of the capital of Daehan Cheolguk being obliterated.

Unlike the area obliterated by the Silent Swordsman, the back area remained untouched. Countless buildings there started to explode and disappear one by one.

"No way, is that man really doing this?"

Eom Gil-dong knew. He knew exactly what effect this was triggering.

Refunds. In Korean, it’s called "refund."

The state’s infrastructure in the capital. All the buildings. That man was now systematically dismantling them in real-time.

Telling anyone wouldn’t change anything. The buildings were being reset, and whatever was inside would be moved to his inventory. Did he even care about customer complaints or the future of the country?

‘He probably doesn’t...’

His laziness in handling refunds was evident as the chat responses came in.

Ha Eung Eung: "Isn’t there a way to do this all at once?" Eom Gil-dong: "...If you do that, the entire nation will vanish." Ha Eung Eung: "I don’t need it." Eom Gil-dong: "Just leaving it would turn tax revenues into cash and bring in tons of money every year." Ha Eung Eung: "I have plenty of money."

After all, how many businesses had Haenam Faction’s name behind them? When all the profit was calculated, even the earnings of a mere streamer wouldn’t compare.

Eom Gil-dong: "Go to the national budget window, hit the settings tab, scroll to the bottom, and you’ll see the nation dissolution option." Ha Eung Eung: "I did it." Eom Gil-dong: "But if you press this, it’ll make the NPCs’ homes disappear. Don’t click it... Huh?"

Boom!

With a massive tremor, the earth shook. The shelves rattled, and cups shattered as Eom Gil-dong hurried outside, only to see the entire street sinking.

"Oh."

The skyscrapers sank. The cityscape collapsed. The history of Daehan Cheolguk, the people’s homes. All infrastructure. Collapsed simultaneously.

From modern times to the medieval period. From medieval times to the Iron Age. From the Iron Age to the Stone Age.

All buildings’ tiers dropped and decayed. All buildings reset. The scene was like a redevelopment project, with residents losing their homes overnight. A much worse scene of housing destruction unfolded.

"My house! I bought it with ten years of savings!!" "Nooooo!!"

The screams of residents who ran into the streets. Shops, grocery stores, cafes vanished, and players sat on the streets, dazed, looking around.

The civilization of humanity, gone in an instant.

[The Silent Swordsman, who has obtained the King’s Seal, activates an absolute decree that can be used once during their tenure.] [The "Nation Dissolution" decree is enforced, disregarding all opposition from the ministers.] [Daehan Cheolguk has been dissolved.]

"Is this my fault?"

Yup.Eom Gil-dong poisoned Daehan Cheolguk!!!This bastard really sold out the country;The ultimate traitor of the century 😱A different level of Merchant of the Apocalypse 😂

After the death of Armored Taejong, Eom Gil-dong had thought the chaos of Gladiator Growth was over. But now, he realized that the real storm was just beginning.

[The resurrection ritual of the Cloud Dragon is taking place in the ruined capital Neo-Hanyang’s championship arena.] [The ritual will be completed, and the Cloud Dragon will be resurrected.] [The national treasure will immediately complete the year-long ritual by advancing the time.] [Clouds for the Cloud Dragon’s form have gathered.] [The Cloud Dragon is resurrected.] [All players, look to the sky.] [The mystery of creation, the greatest miracle in history.] [You are a living witness to the resurrection of a dragon who defies death.]

A mushroom cloud spread over the city, forming the shape of a giant dragon. Above the land where civilization had vanished, clouds colored in ominous red and green descended.

[The Cloud Dragon Azisahab gains a new epithet tied to its birth myth.] [Cloud Dragon of Radiation] [Dragon of the Apocalypse]

The Silent Dragon, who would never listen to human words. The result of the Silent Swordsman’s headlong approach.

"The walls have fallen!" "Ha! The day of vengeance has come! Catch the humans!" "Aaah!" "Ahhh! Flee! The beast people are coming!" "This is the end. Humanity is finished!!"

The final days of humanity. The return of nature’s residents. One era ends, and another begins. The beginning of a great transformation. The title and system messages that signaled this revolution twisted Eom Gil-dong’s grin as he realized it all began with his own advice.

"Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be my fault."

[Eom Gil-dong has ended Gladiator Growth.] [The broadcast ends.]

Eom Gil-dong ran away. The Cloud Dragon, emitting radiation. Naturally, the viewers’ resentment was directed at a single person.

You’re really a bastard, aren’t you?!Give me my land back!😂😂😂The land barons have their assets reset 😂Wow! A new civilization begins from zero!Now that’s fair! Reset is the best.Hahaha, now we’ll have to fight with flags for land ownership.You called yourself the Demon King Swordsman, but now you’re really playing the part of the Demon King, huh? 😂No, no, Demon Kings just pretend to destroy everything. The Demon King Swordsman actually does it.True Demon King 😱

The Demon King Swordsman, who completed the monumental task of dissolving a nation. With such an incredible achievement, the viewer count finally surpassed 100,000. Ha Eung Eung, who unknowingly reached the level of a top-tier streamer. The cause of the great disaster. Now, what is she doing? The players of Gladiator Growth, trying to comprehend the truth behind the sudden disappearance of the strongest human empire, gathered to watch the Silent Swordsman’s stream.

Lee Hae-chan, you were right!The end of humanity helped by the Demon King 😭😭😭The light humanity lost, God Hae-chan 😭I miss Armored Taejong so much.Someone make Armored Sejong the Great!!For real, now we only have Sejong the Great.But all the Armored factories have disappeared!Other countries still have them!!They’ve stopped sending Armored parts abroad because of national security, right?So what’s the Demon King Swordsman doing? Where is the screen? Why can’t we see anything?You are seeing it.You’re currently looking at the Cloud Dragon’s scales.???WowThe Cloud Dragon’s bare skin?!?Possible.Crazy beast-people getting excited 😭😭

The resurrected Cloud Dragon enveloped in its clouds. As it looked down at the disciple held in its arms, the Cloud Dragon felt something ridiculous.

"You foolish thing... didn’t I tell you... if you kill all the creatures meant for the offering, the stability of the resurrection will be compromised..."

Ha Eung Eung buried her head further into the cloud, pretending not to hear. With a stubborn disciple who could walk out of a volcano without a scratch, the Cloud Dragon felt a sense of pity. How much had this child struggled to show such a weak side to their master?

"Enough... what can be done if your nature is to be born as a True Dragon..."

The Cloud Dragon Azisahab, cradling the Demon King Swordsman in its wings. The scene of monsters collapsing as they bled and plants withering below him was the perfect picture of a destructive dragon!

The players watched as master and disciple became enemies of the world.

"Cloud Dragon flight route information for sale!" "100 spots for passenger ship boarding!" "Get rare items as boarding fees!" "Or stay on the continent and die from radiation!"

"We’re all fucked. Damn Demon King Swordsman. Damn Cloud Dragon."

Run away at all costs! The former territory of Daehan Cheolguk became a death zone, with beast-people invading the human kingdom without Armored forces to defend against them.

After the decades-long Armored occupation, Gladiator Growth had finally returned to its roots.

"Is that a unicorn?" "Yeah, we countered with a Jumbo Giant Elephant beast-person." "No, what kind of crazy person created that Jumbo Elephant?!"

In the arena meta of unicorns and Jumbo Giant Elephants sharing the spoils. Somewhere on the continent, it’s said that today, too, the Cloud Dragon, spewing radioactive clouds, and a human riding on its back, continue to roam the world.
