Those who enjoy Eternal World number over a whopping 2 billion.
And if you included all those who watch Eternal World videos on MeTube, it could be said to be a game enjoyed by a whopping 4 billion people.
In the midst of that, the broadcast that had become the hottest topic right now was none other than the live video playing on the Rapid Guild channel.
Even though it hadn't even been a minute since it started, the number of connected viewers alone surpassed tens of millions.
The number quickly approaching the previous record of 100 million was truly marvelous.
Normally, a viewership of this scale would be quite burdensome, but Michael actually tried his best not to be nervous.
Because of that.
-Wow crazy, I thought I was looking at Shin-chan's dad.
-Hael hyung!!! Don't shove your face so close to the camera like that!!!
-Freaking startled me lmao
-Wow, thought my heart was going to drop.
-Scary...
-Phew, almost pissed myself;;;
Right from the start of the live, Michael began with a light joke.
Against a viewership exceeding a whopping 100 million, that is.
Although the majority could be considered newly incoming viewers.
As the viewers who had been watching Michael and the Demon King together for the past few days engaged in banter like that.
The newly incoming viewers didn't particularly say anything.
Should it be said that it was just a flood of chats saying they were surprised?
Anyway.
“Ah, you guys were surprised? I was surprised too!”
-??????
-What does that mean?
-No, logically we were the ones surprised, why would you be surprised???
As everyone typed question marks at Michael's nonsensical words.
Michael said.
“I see this face every morning.”
-Ack lmfaooooooo
-xD Understandable that you'd be surprised.
-Born to find out you have Michael's face?!
-Scary, so scary! lololol
-Freaking funny lmao
The viewers had no choice but to laugh boisterously.
Self-deprecating humor worked anywhere in the world, after all.
People of various nationalities were also excitedly enjoying it.
Even though it was a broadcast they came to see the Demon King, Michael's eloquence was captivating them.
Of course, there were some whining and asking when the Demon King was coming out.
Michael ignored such things.
There is a flow to hosting, isn't there.
Showing it unconditionally just because they whine like that wouldn't be good for the viewers' habits either.
Thinking so, Michael quickly began to proceed.
“First, before introducing our Demon King and the backup team, there is an announcement.”
-???? What is it?
-??????
-An announcement????
-Hasn't there been nothing like that until now?
-Right???
Although everyone was puzzled, they became focused thanks to Michael's immersive eloquence.
At the point when everyone's gazes were gathered like that.
Michael said.
“This is a part our boss, no, Demon King-nim, asked me to announce. Isn't the world in an uproar these days because of the Despair Lord? The energy of despair spreading into the world. You all came to see that too, right, hehe. So aren't you curious? Whether the Demon King originally knew about this or not?”
At Michael's words, the viewers naturally couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Since he coolly brought up exactly what they were most curious about.
Naturally, it was inevitable.
If you watch other Rankers' broadcasts or Single Rankers' broadcasts, they are busy hiding everything saying it's confidential, but they're revealing it this coolly?
A fresh shock couldn't help but spread among the viewers.
-They're revealing this????
-For real?
-Wow, seriously????
-So what is it!!!! Holding my breath until you say it! Gasp!
-Apparently this person passed away.
-lmao
Just when everyone was blooming with anticipation like that.
Michael began to open his mouth.
“He originally entered the Abyss because it was related to our Demon King-nim's class, but he says he didn't know he would meet the Despair Lord like this and cause harm to the world. With that in mind, let's go for an interview with the Demon King-nim!”
As Michael said so and pointed to one side, the camera turned towards Seonghyun, who had been smiling while watching Michael's hosting.
Although Seonghyun was startled and jumped in surprise after laughing as the camera suddenly shifted to him.
The reaction was actually great.
-lmfaoooo He's freaking handsome.
-Seeing him smile gives off a boyish charm, he's so freaking cute ;-;
-Sob sob, oppa take me!!!
-He really is handsome.
-Right lol
-Makes no sense.
As everyone admired Seonghyun's looks like that.
When Seonghyun looked at the camera and started speaking a bit awkwardly.
The chat rapidly dwindled.
It was the mindset of wanting to appreciate the view.
“Ahem, I didn't know an event would happen across the entire world because of me, but first of all, I'm sorry. I feel like it's a bit of a nuisance, though I didn't know it would turn out like this either.”
-What nuisance xD
-An EXP event opened and it's a festival mood lmfao
-The Demon King is really cute lmao
-Exactly lolol
Although everyone typed in the chat saying it was fine.
Seonghyun still bowed his head in apology and continued speaking.
“Anyway, my class is a black magician type that absorbs the powers of various Monarchs, so in that sense, I will try to absorb the Despair Lord with my own power this time.”
Seonghyun spoke casually, but.
It was practically no different from revealing his class's secret.
The viewers had no choice but to be surprised seeing Seonghyun abruptly reveal it.
-??????????
-No, he just drops that out of nowhere????
-He absorbs the powers of various Monarchs?????????
-Ah, so that's why he seemed to have multiple attributes????????
-No, why is he dropping a secret like this with the nuance of saying what he had for lunch xD
-Such an alpha male lmfao
-No, he's just exposing it like this? lolololol
-Never seen a broadcast like this in my life lmao
People from all over the world honestly had no choice but to be surprised.
Not only were there no Rankers who would tell such secrets.
Even if there were, it was only in cases where their class grade was low, so revealing it wouldn't cause any harm.
But for Demon King Seonghyun, one of those most shrouded in mystery, to reveal this much.
They couldn't help but feel bewildered, let alone refreshed.
People smiled and loved watching that, but.
The even more shocking part here was.
“Now now, everyone, I have something else to tell you.”
Even before they could collect their senses, Michael spoke in succession.
What could it be this time?
In front of the anticipating viewers, Michael recited the announcement.
“Now that it's a joint floor, we settled the rankings yesterday, right? The backup team rankings were decided with the Luna team in 1st place, the Embris Party in 2nd place, and Kyou's Party in 3rd place, but just because it's a joint floor doesn't mean we aren't competing!”
At Michael's words, the viewers couldn't help but be puzzled.
How could they compete when it was a joint floor?
Then, suddenly, a few viewers caught on and typed in the chat.
-???????
-How do they compete?
-Uh? Could it be contribution?
-Ah!!! There is contribution!!!
-They're deciding rankings by contribution?
-Ah, dopamine explosion lmfao
-Sick, this is gonna be freaking fun.
Everyone chattered excitedly like that.
Michael nodded and panned the camera to show Seonghyun and the other backup teams.
Then, unlike the calm Luna team, the Kyou Party and the Embris Party were glaring at each other as if to kill, and Seonghyun was just standing in the middle of it all, smiling softly.
Showing them like that, Michael said.
“That's right. We will decide the rankings based on contribution. Since we can see the contribution by team and even individually like this, I will take charge of the commentary and relay. Our Demon King-nim will act as a fair referee.”
At Michael's explanation, everyone typed chats full of anticipation.
-It's going to be freaking fun lmao
-I partly want to see the Demon King's overwhelming power, but this kind of competitive content is fun too.
-xD Plus everyone fights well so it's even more fun
-Real, puts most 1st-strings to shame
-Wow, who will win this time?
-But if it's like this, the Luna team might be at a bit of a disadvantage.
-Ah, that's true.
Everyone chattered, talking about who would win and who would be at a disadvantage.
As Seonghyun expected, the majority were interested in this rivalry and watching it with excitement.
In that situation, Seonghyun nodded as if pleased, and Michael saw that and proceeded.
As if announcing that the competition would begin shortly.
“Then we will now head down. Who will actually take 1st place!? Oh right, if you type '!vote' in the chat, you can vote on who will get 1st place, and also guess 2nd and 3rd place, so please participate a lot! I heard that if you guess correctly, they will give away a whopping 1-month Rapid Guild subscription through a draw? You know, right? If you have a subscription, you can enter for free for a month without a live ticket.”
-Crazy?????
-They're giving away subscriptions???
-How many people are they giving it to???
-Wow! 100k people for 1st place, 50k for 2nd place, 10k for 3rd place???
-They're giving subscriptions to a total of 160k people?
-Crazy, how much is all that????
-!vote
-!vote
-I have to vote on this right???
-They even filter out duplicates so it's a huge steal, please!!!
-Please!!!
At Michael's words, the viewers couldn't help but get excited.
Because a subscription had that much of a ripple effect.
Since no one knew when this live stream would also start selling paid tickets.
Everyone eagerly started voting, hoping they would be picked.
Drawing out the viewers' response like that, Seonghyun thought Michael was indeed good at this as he and the backup teams took the lead and went down to the 97th floor.
What would come out this time.
As everyone went down to the 97th floor, each feeling somewhat tense.
A system message similar to the one that appeared when they first gathered on the 96th floor popped up.
[A portion of the Despair Lord's mind awakens.]
[The foot of the Despair Lord on the 97th floor is generated.]
Before it was an eye, and this time it's a foot.
It felt somewhat bizarre, but this time too, an ashen-colored foot appeared.
Looking only at the foot, it was a giant foot measuring 2m, large enough to be called a giant's foot.
It only formed up to the ankle, and unlike the eye, tentacles or similar things did not come out.
However, the energy of despair it harbored exuded a terrifying momentum, and seeing that, Seonghyun stepped back and looked at the backup teams as he spoke.
“Start.”
Along with Seonghyun's shout, the backup teams swiftly began to rush in.
