When Ken looked at the direction where the meteor should be in, all there was, was a boy. A skinny teenager. He didn't even have much in him as clothing except a ragged cloth around his waist and a burn mark covering his forehead and the sides of his eyes. And not just that, he had long hair. Really long and messy black hair.
When Ken tried to move from his position, he couldn't at all.
[The catastrophe of questions has been weakened due to its premature hatching.]
[As a penalty, you can't attack the catastrophe of questions for next three minutes.]
'What the fuck! Why are we the ones being penalized?!' Ken thought. Desperate to either escape, or attack the catastrophe.
Even if he were to escape, the catastrophe would be killed by Dokja and the others anyway, but if he were to fight, he would be put in a state that would kill anyone.
Knowing the flow of the fanfic he made and the things he planned off, he won't die. Even more so, he knew his real self won't let him die. But he still didn't want to experience death, and didn't want to take chances.
The catastrophe stood there for a while, in daze. When he noticed a person stuck under a giant stone, he started to ask the person something.
And just as the person answers his question, a notification comes in.
[The first question has been answered.]
[The first seal on the returnee, Myung Ilsang, has been lifted.]
Just as his first seal is broken, he starts giggling like a maniac and shouting loudly while saying.
"Do you know what I have been through? Do you? To live in a world for over a century, where you are the only human.
Do you know that there are dimensions besides this? Which are full of disgusting insects, werewolves and birdmen…"
Then all of a sudden he slowly crouched and started asking the person again. Then he starts to laugh while asking something. Even while the person was begging not to be killed, Ilsang suddenly stomps on the person's head, destroying it, killing the person.
Even then, he was babbling things to himself before he suddenly noticed Yoo Sangah. And a notification came around the same time.
[The penalty for hatching prematurely has ended.]
[The force that has been restraining you has ended.]
In a flash, Ilsang had already moved in front of Sangah and started asking this and that to her.
Ken couldn't particularly hear what he was asking her, but he could tell that Ilsang was trying to flirt with Sangah. Just as she looks at Dokja for some reason, he asks something again, but more violently.
Just as Sangah moves his hand that had been grabbing her chin away while saying something, another notification comes.
[The second question has been answered.]
[The second seal on the returnee, Myung Ilsang, has been lifted.]
In a sudden burst of anger, he points his finger at her. And a purple beam of light starts to form around his finger.
He suddenly launched a beam of fire, even though Sangah dodged it, Dokja couldn't, and he was hit by it. As the beam of fire faded, Dokja came out, practically unscathed. Which had gone to show how weak Ilsung had become.
The next moment, Sangah started to attack him with her daggers, but he still could quite easily dodge them.
At the same time, seeing the chance, Sooyoung launched an assault at him with her avatars. As Dokja instructed them to use their full force, he also came running to attack Ilsung.
As he jumped in the air and came towards Ilsung with black sparks surrounding him, but for some reason, whatever skill Dokja was trying to use didn't work, before getting kicked in the gut by Ilsung.
Just as Sooyoung showered him in a barrage of attacks along with her avatars. He started to ask meaningless questions, trying to annoy her.
And just like how she was early on, she quickly became annoyed and said some things to him, and the worst happened.
[The third question has been answered.]
[The fourth question has been answered.]
[The fifth question has been answered.]
[The fifth seal on the returnee, Myung Ilsang, has been lifted.]
Ken, knowing that he can't stay idle either, finally decides to step in. Since the ice energy exuding his body has ended, he shouldn't have any problem anymore.
He quickly rushed towards Ilsung, who was distracted by his powers returning. Just as Ken tried to draw his sword out, Ilsang simply just simply grabbed Ken's hand, and forced him to sheath the sword back.
Instead of trying to draw the sword out again, Ken quickly grabbed Ilsung's long hair and did what he always does, a headbutt with full force. Then just as he was about to attack the neck of Ilsung with his forearm, Ilsung quickly grabbed his arm.
Ken was confused as to why Ilsung was still fine, but before he could do anything, the grip on his forearm increased and with a cracking sound, his forearm broke.
Ken quickly backed away in pain. His entire body was shaking and his nervous system was firing up. As his broken arm is healed, he tries to attack Ilsung again.
But before he could, Sangah stepped in. In a moment of burst, she jumped in the middle of the air and trapped Ilsung in the golden web.
She shouted Dokja to attack. He rushed to Ilsung as fast as possible and slashed him in the chest. As blood spurted out from his chest, Ilsung used some kind skill to teleport outside from the net.
[Multiple constellations are excited by the sudden increase in difficulty.]
Ken could see these notifications, since this whole thing was heavily broadcasted by the dokkaebis.
As he regrouped with the others, he saw that Sangah had passed out. According to Dokja, she had passed out because she pushed herself too far.
As they were running towards the direction Ilsang headed to, and heard the conversation between Dokja and Sooyoung, his fear only deepened.
He knew the whole thing they were talking about. Myung Ilsang, the catastrophe of questions, gets stronger with each time he is answered a question.
The reason the penalties in returnees are put in, is because they are usually way stronger than what the current incarnations are capable of.
Ilsang has a few dozen seals. And if, by any chance, all the seals are broken. They are simply fucked.
The red dokkaebi in charge suddenly appeared and started congratulating them for cornering Ilsang. Which obviously was not a good sign.
Suddenly, his voice could be heard across Seoul. As he started to tempt the incarnations by saying things such as getting a SSS grade reward for defeating him and what not. Even saying that most of his power is sealed, which would only tempt them more.
With a snap of his finger, a giant screen came up, which showed Myung Ilsang. As he kept on saying things that would tempt people more, a notification came up.
[The sub scenario has been updated.]
[Sub scenario: SSS grade hunt.]
[Difficulty: B-???]
[Description: Defeat the SSS grade hero, Myung Ilsang.]
[Time limit: None.]
[Reward: 5,000 coins, SSS grade item.]
