It all started with a very small suspicion.

[So what’s going to happen to the arena now?]

-Are we going to rebuild from scratch on a new planet? If so, it’s natural for the divine power to be shattered.

-Wasn’t it about recycling the planet?

-You think it’s recyclable just by looking at the state of the arena? The planet is so swollen that it’s practically landfill. It’s falling apart from its core, leaking everywhere.

-Leaking… Oh… Possible. Chewable.

-??????

[The arena is done for, what can we do, Lord?]

-Lords, please…! Damn it, I’m in my third year as a contractee… If this continues, I won’t be able to repay the full loan!

-Who threatened to take out a full loan with a knife? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I’ve been doing push-ups five times a day recently… I guess that’s okay too…

-The lords didn’t invest for you to use it like that, did they? If you’re caught by the gods, isn’t that a breach of contract?ㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s fine if you don’t get caught.

[But the arena is screwed, why is the management office so quiet?]

-It’s so quiet that it’s incredibly suspicious. When you contact the management office, it automatically switches to an auto-reply as if it’s as busy as it gets-

-In fact, isn’t that just before an embezzlement?

-Uh… Don’t say that… -77% stock.jpg

-Do you happen to know about Luruna Coin? -99.99999….%

-We also have a sister product.

-Bastard!!! What the hell!!!

[Someone’s spreading weird stuff in the open chat room.]

-Chat history.jpg

-Judging by the vague content, it seems like the management office is approaching and planning something new with Only a few minutes left.

-The guy who spat it out is anonymous~

-If you look at his log, it seems like he’s a theme stock inheritorㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What kind of conflict has piled up between these two guys… It’s like 1/5 of the galaxy here was ruined by the collision of Mansinjeon and Manmajeon.

-It’s like a conservative nationalist declaring feminism.

[But there’s something suspicious in the content of the conspiracy theory chat.]

-They claim to have made contact with Manmajeon, but I suddenly remembered something and looked through the past business list of Manmajeon Company, and this crazy plan popped up.

-[Arena Mark2].jpg

-Isn’t that just a plan that was sketched and embezzled? I haven’t even heard any news of it being launched from Manmajeon until nowㅋㅋㅋ

– The demon kings are teaming up to raise some kind of contractor, haha. Those guys can’t even wait for a three-minute curry; they just pour it into their mouths and swallow the rice without chewing, haha. It’s a three-second curry.

– They’re all muscle brains, so instead of investing time, it seems like they inject steroids into their thighs and biceps to boost strength.

– If your head is bad, your body suffers… In other words, overwhelming force doesn’t require using your head!

– Huh…? Wasn’t the Manma Arena supposed to be scrapped, not actually built?

– You can confirm that construction costs have been steadily incurred by looking at the budget execution details. It’s too much money to simply plan. It was being continued until recently, but at some point, it was changed to maintenance costs. That means it wasn’t something being managed after completion, right?

– But how did you check this? Unless you’re an insider, you’d never know about the execution details.

– …I didn’t want to know either. Manma Arena Stock Status.jpg

– How much did this guy inherit, seriously? Even so, thanks to the inheritance, we received the disclosure, haha.

– Actually, all the demon kings seem to have embezzled, hehe.

– Demon kings with muscle brains probably can’t embezzle at all~

– …? Can you tell me where you live?

– Unable to resist curiosity, I went to the coordinates of the Manma Arena.

– Honestly, those are old coordinates, and there are several black holes on the way, so I didn’t expect anything… Do you see this? We haven’t even approached within 1,000 light-years, but there are spatial distortion barriers and various defunct spells everywhere.

– Those are insane spells that drain maintenance fees, how are they being sustained?

– I don’t know, but we’re trying to approach by evading as much as possible, and it’s really hopeless. There’s not even a speck of space visible.

– More importantly, are you okay? Isn’t that the Manma Arena area? If caught, won’t it be reported to the demon kings?

– My specialty is hiding secretly, so it’s fine, like 1#%&5Afjczo*!~

– ….Ah, damn, haha, wait a sec, haha.

– I think this is as far as we go, haha.

– A blurry picture of a planet and the arena boundary.jpg

– Valkyries coming with handcuffs in disarray.jpg

– I’ll try to break through the boundary no matter what, but as soon as I ran in a straight line, I got caught, damn it.

– ???? What the heck is this?

– Why are Valkyries popping out in the Manma Arena area? Did they expand the disheveled management district?

– This post has been deleted by the Manma Arena Management District.

The post that had been uploaded to the Divine Gallery was swiftly deleted. The culprit was none other than the Administration of the Sacred Temple. They claimed it was hastily removed, but those who didn’t see it were not the true believers, and those who didn’t save the pictures were not among them either. The Divine Gallery began to burn in an instant. “Is there really a second arena built at the Temple? Are the Temple and the Sacred Temple collaborating? And sparks of suspicion about him… scattered in all directions.”

[????? What the hell is this?]

– A graph that begins to pierce the sky.jpg

– No way, I was regretfully indulging in chicken after selling all my shares in the Sacred Temple, and what the hell is this, you crazy people!

– Hey, have you still not seen the setup? There’s a collaboration setup between the Temple and the Sacred Temple, hahaha.

– While this guy is munching on chicken, others are rejoicing; it’s really hilarious, hahaha.

– Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

– This guy has really become a pitiful wreck, hahaha.

[I followed the old coordinates of the Temple and found Shinboong, who was kidnapped and imprisoned.]

– Warning notice.jpg

– Wow, they just blatantly put up a restricted entry sign, hahaha. It says unauthorized access will be immediately met with lethal force? These guys are really something, hahaha.

– So… Shinboong is dead…?

– Shinboong is dead… no more…! But now, I will continue to live as one with my theme lords…!

– In the midst of the Temple area, they’ve written in a language not of demons but of gods, hahaha. This is just admitting it, hahaha.

[This post has been deleted by the Administration of the Sacred Temple.]

[We will now conclude the collaboration leak as a result of this.]

– Chairman of the Temple Company, a snapshot with Demon Lord Jang and Manager Michaela.JPG

– From today, I withdraw my support for the Sacred Temple.

– From today, I am disassociating from the support relationship.

– I am becoming one with the Sacred Temple.

– An attack on the Sacred Temple will be considered an attack on me.

– Theme Investment Status.JPG

– I distinctly remember this bastard being at a total -77%, why is it suddenly at +270%?

– If the numbers don’t add up, it’s a scam, anyway, it’s a scam, you damn bastard!!

[Goodbyeee! Enjoy your meal, hahaha.]

– [+4117%] Profit.JPG

– I threw away my divine power and went all-in, hit 10 times the jackpot, haha. I tried 30 times, 50 times, 100 times, but the fluctuation was too big and it all collapsed. Still, what the hell is this, haha. I’ve graduated from this shitty place, haha.

Looking at the chaotic divine gallery, Yoo Da-hee broke into an enigmatic smile. Laughter flowed out naturally, following the rising corners of her mouth. Everything related to the goddesses had vanished from the divine gallery long ago.

For days on end, amidst the lengthy buildup in the gallery, there were subtle comments intermingled with the uproar, while the divines engaged in all sorts of schemes, infiltrating chat rooms accessible only to divines and leaking information.

Of course, there were occasional interventions by the administration, but the management office was left empty due to a business trip, making it even more deserted than usual.

The managers have all gone off to do their own thing. How are we supposed to stop these waves of uncertainty?

Once the crack starts, it’s bound to collapse. Yudahee simply hastened that time a bit.

“Something… seems so familiar…”

Adikia looked at Yudahee with a suspicious gaze.

In instigating the rebellion of the Ta Shin sect, there was an unwavering determination, not just in skill but also in seamlessly integrating it into everyday life, as if it were natural, creating a sense of incongruity.

The direction of public opinion had swiftly shifted towards a collaboration between Dike and Adikia, turning into a fierce competition between the two powerhouses.

All while providing enough fuel to keep the fire burning without allowing it to blaze out of control. …For Yudahee, that was the only way to survive, so there was no other choice.

Walking a tightrope in real-time among numerous foreign media and the Great Old Ones.

The slightest misstep… Oh!

Thanks to that, unnecessary complications continued to pile up.

Cajoling those who were capricious, eccentric, erratic, even inciting them until they burned up completely, and then pretending not to notice at the end.

He was in his element, skillfully manipulating the stock market with such finesse that it could make bats fly away. Meanwhile, Dike, clenching his fist in a corner, stared through the window.

Secretly… very secretly, he had made a speculative purchase of management company theme stocks. It yielded profits to the extent that his eyes nearly rolled back.

“Ooh… ohhhhh!”

In terms of points, a single point had rapidly multiplied to six. Achieving success akin to hitting the top 20 rankings in the speculative market six times over…!

Even for Dike personally, this level of profit was unprecedented. If only he had bought more…! Why did he only put in one point…! He should have trusted Yoo Dahee’s words and invested more boldly…! No, is it too late even now…? The quickest way to think you’re late is when you think you’re late…!

Unconsciously, after selling at a profit, Dike boldly proceeded to repurchase. Greater power, greater gains…!

“Rise… and fall…!”

It was Dike who shouted alone as he accessed the gallery. But life, could it ever flow so smoothly? Excessive greed has a blinding effect.

“Hey, isn’t this a hoax?”

– Administrator Verification.jpg

– I can’t go into detail about my contract, but I work in the management department of the newly established gallery. But someone recently used 3,000 times the fluxion technique on the gallery. Is this really a lead? Or just a simple manipulation and fabrication?

– Not even the king of the stock market would do 3,000 times. What kind of crazy person is this? Lol

– These newbies are ridiculous. (They sold all their theme stocks.)

– I knew this would happen. (Sold everything at the peak and preparing to switch to short.)

– I thought this would happen too, but honestly, the hoax was pretty obvious. (Leverage 100 times short position.)

With a single simple post, stock prices staggered in no time. Although they had been built up high, at their core, they were nothing but a sandcastle manipulated by Yoo Dahee, collapsing in an instant like a crumbling sandcastle in the surging waves. Dikey’s stock chart began to shatter.

Easily gained things tend to disappear easily…

“Dike, aghhh!”

Like a candy dropped into water, Dike’s six points melted away.
