The Old Man Is So Good at Acting Like a Loser

＜ 24. Goinmul is too good at mangkae (4) ＞

The explosion was spectacular, and the aftermath was devastating.

Even though I distanced myself from the manager for a long time in order not to get caught up in it, I was dizzy at the heavy pressure and the violence that tore my eardrums. Explosions engulfed them, and black flames multiplied endlessly. A force comparable to that of a nuclear explosion.

coo goo goo –

After a long time, the roar subsided. Andrea, who was crouching with her back to the explosion, finally got up.

The ‘source’ was completely devastated. It was all white, so it felt like a space that transcended the concept of something material, but seeing that it was scorched and the floor was scorched, it didn’t seem like that again.

It was not easy to move because the injury was the same. Andrea let out a pain-filled groan and stepped away. Andrea walks towards the manager while avoiding the craters that are scattered here and there.

“Haa… how are you? Was it a good attack?”

Andrea was also seriously injured, but it was nothing compared to the manager.

What should I call this condition? To put it bluntly, the manager had become a black lump of charcoal. The purple haze shimmered like a bonfire about to go out, and the black body that had been like a black hole was being carbonized and crumbling.

Still, considering the power of the explosion, it was in very good condition. If it had been something other than the manager’s avatar, he was angry that he wouldn’t have left even a handful of ashes.

The manager twitched slightly before finally opening his mouth.

“Excellent… It was a better attack than expected.”

Only the voice was the same as before. The battered body and the normal voice caused a sense of gap. This, too, must be proof that the body the Administrator is currently using is nothing more than an avatar.

“My eyes were not wrong. After all, you have superior skills than any other challengers.”

“…”

“The ‘Infinite Dungeon’ needs someone with infinite potential like you. If you become the manager who manages the dungeon after me, this place will definitely become a more interesting and deep space.”

“…”

“Of course, I’m not trying to make you shoulder only obligations. Since this is the world you were originally born in, it cannot be returned to the outer reality, but at least you can have omnipotent power like me in this world.”

“…”

“You look like you’re not very interested. But hearing this will change your mind.”

Andrea looks at me with a sullen face, as if asking me to speak. However, what the manager brought up was something that really seduced Andrea.

“Being omnipotent means being able to revive the dead, the extinct, and the eternal in this world. As long as you succeed in my position, you can bring back the man named ‘Marco’.”

“···what? really?”

When Andrea, who had been as quiet as a wooden stone, showed signs of movement, the manager laughed in satisfaction. Lee Ja couldn’t keep his cool when it came to matters concerning his colleagues, if nothing else. It was also the right decision to dig into that part.

“of course. You can bring it back to life as you knew it, without any penalty. Because the data about him does not disappear and remains as it is.”

Andrea pretended to be conflicted. It would be rather difficult if the manager did not recommend his position, but if he accepted it quickly, he could have suspected that he was doing something wrong.

‘You have to pretend to be prudent. Because that would fit the manager’s idea of who I am.’

The manager carefully looked at Andrea with his groggy neck tilted. Silent time passed, and Andrea finally made up her mind.

“Damn it…then what am I supposed to do?”

The fading purple haze flared up once more. He seemed to be happy that things were going the way he had intended. The manager who speaks with a more powerful voice.

“Good idea. You just . . . come inside me and do what I tell you to do.”

Before I could even ask what that meant, the manager’s avatar melted like wax. The manager, who had become like a muddy lump of tar, corroded the floor and created a huge hole.

[Come in here.]

Andrea let out a short sigh.

The end has really come. Make up your mind not to let go of tension. Andrea jumps into the hole.

On the wall of the hole, all kinds of scenes from the dungeon were projected like a film. Andrea was able to observe the scenery during the fall. Occasionally, I saw unfamiliar landscapes, but most of them were familiar.

The waiting room where the flames of the incinerator are burning, the jungle where the chameleos lurk, the guardians of the dead king and the banquet hall, Adsel’s children playing in the green dandelion grass, the Minotaur holding a flaming ax and scanning the old battlefield, the boy king and the golem , Sailors facing the Kraken again, Priest Roberto guarding the Temple of the Earth…

The faces he encountered while climbing the dungeon flew past him. Some places became completely different after Andrea passed, but most of them were still the same as they were before Andrea passed.

An unbreakable bondage. Challengers who have to go through all kinds of unreasonable hardships, and beings who have to repeat death infinitely in the name of having to deal with the challengers.

It is said that this world was created because of this dungeon, but the infinite dungeon made the beings of this world constantly suffer with the bait of unattainable desire.

Now is the time to put an end to all of that.

Took –

Andrea lands on the ground as easily as when she first reached the ‘root’. When I looked up, I saw a huge object that I couldn’t ignore.

It was a huge brain.

Black space with no background. That alone was floating in the air. The wriggling wrinkles and gray matter surfaces were surprisingly realistic.

The brain was beating cyclically like a heart. The vibrations that emanated from the sound deafened my ears. Andrea frowned slightly and instinctively covered her ears.

That was the main body of the manager.

It is the shape of a brain, and considering the identity of artificial intelligence, it was a really clichéd yet suitable symbol. I couldn’t figure out why it made it beat so violently.

When Andrea stood still, unable to approach easily, the manager’s voice echoed throughout the space.

[Come forward. And let me touch this brain.]

Andrea nodded and took a deep breath. Now is the time.

The opportunity was now, only once.

Every time I took a step, it felt like my blood was pumping backwards because of the tension. I couldn’t help but keep checking nervously to see if the manager noticed something. A small tinnitus rang in his ears, and his eyes were bloodshot.

And finally right in front.

[Put your hand on it.]

Andrea did not obey the manager’s orders.

Instead, he pulled a card from the deck with incredibly quick hand movements.

In that moment, the conversation I had with David passed through my mind.

‘You say you can remove the upper limit for a while, but how can you do infinite damage without manipulating the stats?’

‘I, I, too, have struggled with that method for a long time. Then the conclusion was… let’s try to use the characteristics of the mimic.’

‘Features of Mimic?’

‘As you already know, the Ancient Mimic’s stats increase according to the money you put in it. Ha, the limit is not set, so in theory, if you put in infinite money, you can achieve an infinite increase in stats.’

‘···It’s not just one or two things to point out. How do I get the Mimic to the manager and how and where do I get the infinite money?’

‘No, I’ve already set up infinite money. I’ve been collecting gold through black dealers until just before it goes over to overflow.’

‘···Is that true?’

‘Yes. However, if I take it right away, the administrator may suspect the number manipulation, so I will try to hide it under the treasure chest on the 100th floor.’

‘Then how do I get Mimic to the manager?’

‘It’s impossible to take the Mimic with you. The only person who can go to the manager’s residence is Andrea-san who meets the ending conditions.’

‘…?’

‘Yeah, but there’s no need to bring Mimic to the manager. It’s because Andrea-san just needs to acquire ‘Mimic characteristics’ for a while.’

David has created an artifact to make the method come true.

duplicate card. A card that, when applied to a target, copies the attributes of that target and makes it usable like a buff. It was the identity of the card that Andrea had acquired with nothing written on it.

And Andrea brought the card to the Mimic and created a card like this.

‘[Infinity] King of Gold (0 Cost): All stats increase in proportion to the amount of gold you own. (All stats + 1 per 1 gold)’

First-time ratings and ridiculous effects.

A card that will destroy the manager and the dungeon, and open a new chapter in this world.

Andrea played a card.

Stats that increase in proportion to infinite gold.

[Name: Andrea]

[Class: Shadow Apostle]

[Level: Infinity]

[Max Mana: Infinity]

[Strength: Infinity]

[Magic Power: Infinity]

[Resistance: Infinity]

[Lucky: Infinity]

[quirk: none]

Infinite power began to dwell in Andrea.

A golden whirlwind blew around. Like hundreds of giant dragons circling and spinning around. The flashes scattered like flower petals, and the fragments alone turned the black space as bright as broad daylight.

Accepting the power, Andrea became something beyond even God.

Even the concept of the body was forgotten. He was just the essence of pure condensed power, an absolute will. In each and every particle of light, there was a compulsory force that could distort even the principles of the world.

So, as long as they were in this space, no being could go against Andrea’s will.

Controlling the power wasn’t easy. In ten-millionths of a second, she could feel even a speck of dust flying in the air, and Andrea’s thinking went into an overloaded state. He molded himself into human form, freeing himself of unnecessary information and runaway redundant power.

Andrea, who became a luminous human form. Even with just a step, the space was fragmented and shaken. As a result, I was confused about how to attack the administrator’s main body.

David’s advice comes to mind at that moment.

‘…That, just attack Andrea in the most familiar way.’

It was the only way I was most familiar with. Andrea nodded slightly.

He clenched his fists. The particles of light that scattered like a storm gathered in my hand and condensed into an intense flash that would blind me in no time.

[No, what the hell did you do…!]

It was not an attack of a dimension that could be escaped by manipulating the system. Brain, realizing the sudden change, immediately tried to delete Andrea’s data with the administrator’s authority.

However, it was a delayed response. Andrea’s fist was already extending after confirming the result of ‘infinite damage’.

The moment when time passed slowly as if it had stopped, and the flash of light in his fist exploded into brilliance.

– !

A devastating blow unprecedented in history unleashed.

Ironically, however, the blow was not accompanied by any noise. Because at the moment the halo of light swept everywhere, the space itself, along with the brain, was completely annihilated.

Everything is destroyed, leaving only emptiness.

While swimming in a space of nothingness where nothing exists, Andrea heard a message ringing in her ears.

[‘Administrator’ has taken ＜Infinity＞ damage.]

[Destroy the AI ‘Administrator’ permanently according to the given order.]

[Delete all algorithms and collected data.]

[In progress (0%)] ··· [···(38%)] ··· [···(79%)]

The manager’s data contained all the information about the ‘Dungeon of Infinity’. In other words, when the manager dies, all the characters and worlds living in it also disappear.

Since there is no space, the body no longer exists. The reason Andrea could feel her own existence was probably because her ego data was still there.

Feeling that even her ego was fading away, Andrea gently closed her eyes.

I felt like going to sleep for a very long time.

[In progress (99%)] [Complete implementation (100%)]
