Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 461

“Accept the new order.”

It was a declaration, a proclamation.

And.

Thud!

It was an order.

The suddenness of Lee Rowoon’s words left people bewildered.

Only a select few knew what would be discussed that day; most had come to align themselves with Eunha, who was expected to become the new master of Seoul after defeating Hwasan [a prominent martial arts sect].

But to accept a new order?

“The hierarchy of martial artists above players, and players above ordinary people, is an undeniable order.”

“……!”

The people’s faces contorted in shock.

“Wh-what….”

Lee Rowoon’s words were true.

It was the order everyone knew.

Thud thud thud-!

Yet, no one had ever spoken of it so openly, in front of everyone.

Lee Rowoon’s voice was being broadcast live, spreading throughout Korea and Asia.

And all those watching this scene would be equally shocked.

“Such….”

Some tried to deny it.

“Shut up.”

But Lee Rowoon’s next words silenced them.

“If you deny it, you don’t even deserve to be here. Just speak up, and I’ll make a place that suits you right away.”

It was an open threat, but no one could complain.

“Let’s go back; it’s an undeniable fact that it was the original order. Despite all the talk of equality and protection, martial artists treated players like hunting dogs.”

Lee Rowoon spoke without hesitation.

“Players see ordinary people as targets to be trampled and exploited.”

“………”

Before the shock could subside, Lee Rowoon’s voice flowed out again.

“That kind of order is declared abolished at this moment.”

In a single moment, with a single word.

He abolished the history and order that had lasted for decades.

“Accept the new order.”

Back to square one.

“Martial artists, players, ordinary people….”

Lee Rowoon’s languid eyes.

To some, it seemed like utter madness.

“Everyone is equal before me.”

Before me.

“Don’t do meaningless things. Don’t waste your energy and strength on useless acts.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“All of you are just mere humans before me.”

In the past, Lee Rowoon didn’t think of himself as special.

It was the same even after meeting his masters and containing the chaos.

Also, all those actions felt meaningless and futile.

It was uncomfortable.

-Blood Demon Lord.

That those who followed him revered him.

-Jinchun [a title of respect].

That they worshipped him like a god.

-Divine Demon.

That they thought of him as a transcendent being in an untouchable realm, it felt uncomfortable and awkward.

But.

-Now… I need that.

Lee Shinwoo’s words.

Hase Min’s words.

Everyone else’s words.

-There may be many ways to fix this broken world, but the most certain is….

They all said in unison.

-Absolute power. And the power to move for a single purpose.

That day, Lee Rowoon steeled his heart.

The ashes that had been completely burned, himself without any desire.

Only the desire to meet his masters and spend time with them again existed.

-Don’t you want to change it? Your world.

Little by little, a flame began to ignite in his heart.

-You can do it.

To fix the broken world.

It wasn’t such a grand thought.

Just.

‘I have power.’

And he could use that power however he wanted.

-That’s enough.

Everyone believed in him and followed him.

They said it didn’t matter if the direction of that power was wrong.

Therefore.

“I declare.”

Lee Rowoon decided to accept their opinions, and himself.

Swoosh.

He raised his thumb and slowly pressed down on the air.

Whoong!

Then a red circle appeared.

The hollow circle….

Squeak.

As Lee Rowoon’s finger dug in a little more, it grew in size, expanding its shape.

It was Lee Rowoon’s power.

“……!”

Everyone in this place was looking at that small circle, feeling an absolute emotion.

Some felt absolute despair.

Some felt absolute reverence.

And some felt absolute fear.

Fwoooosh-!

The expanding circle grew even larger, instantly enveloping the entire hall.

“Anyone who defies my will shall be treated equally, no matter who they are. You can call me a dictator, or a tyrant.”

And that was.

“The rule of the new world.”

A simple and clear new order.

Everyone in this place was a powerful figure and strongman who had a great influence throughout Asia.

And if, for some reason, everyone in this place were to die at once, Asia might fall into great chaos and self-destruct.

Lee Rowoon.

“I am Lee Rowoon.”

He warned that he could do so with this one giant red circle that was now enveloping everyone.

“A player who once led a small guild called Dank.”

“……!”

“The Blood Demon Lord who rules the Blood Cult, and Jinchun, the master of the Hao Clan.”

The red circle resonated with every word Lee Rowoon spoke.

“Also, a forgotten ancient name.”

Lee Rowoon’s languid eyes began to shine a little more clearly.

“The successor of the Divine Demon, and the Divine Demon of this era.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“I am the Martial King.”

Thud!

It was as if a huge thunderbolt had struck.

“Also, listen.”

The current broadcast was only being transmitted throughout Asia.

But when this broadcast ended, this scene would be recorded and spread to the disconnected West, the realm of Einheart.

“I am the rightful emperor of Einheart, succeeding Siegfried von Damian.”

“……!”

“Wh-what….”

And also.

-The demons of Gehenna [a realm of demons] are already hidden, melted into the world.

The demons of Gehenna would also be watching and observing.

“I am also the successor of the worst demon king of Gehenna, Beelzebub.”

Lee Rowoon declared.

“I am the successor and the only one who has inherited the three kings of the three worlds.”

Whoong.

The red circle created by Lee Rowoon soared into the sky, covering the heavens.

“Now everyone must know.”

With that, Lee Rowoon’s words were over.

Step.

Lee Rowoon stepped down from the platform, moving his feet as he had when he first appeared.

Slowly and deliberately.

But no one could look at Lee Rowoon, nor make eye contact with him.

Gulp.

They swallowed their saliva and lowered their heads.

‘Accept the new order.’

They were only repeating the words Lee Rowoon had spoken.

Beep, beep.

The microphone noise awakened everyone’s minds.

Lee Rowoon had already left the hall and disappeared long ago.

It was a moment when even the highly skilled martial artists were still in shock, unaware of that fact.

“Also, our Eunha, Hao Clan, and Blood Cult….”

Hase Min.

He spoke, holding the microphone.

“Declare the establishment of the Divine Demon Alliance, a new order and discipline.”

* * *

-Divine Demon Alliance!

That day, after Lee Rowoon left, it was Hase Min who led the hall.

And he poured out countless stories as if conveying Lee Rowoon’s words.

But all of that was erased.

-Lee Rowoon, who is he?

-Blood Demon Lord, Jinchun, Divine Demon?

-Three Kings?

The new topics he had thrown out.

-The membership conditions for the Divine Demon Alliance are revealed.

And the world was buzzing with talk about the new order.

While some still didn’t understand Lee Rowoon’s words.

“I want to join the Divine Demon Alliance.”

There were also those who were trying to get on board with the new order.

No, they were the majority.

Lee Rowoon’s declaration was violent and destructive.

It was also a threat to ignore everything.

A group that was created by directly denying the existing Murim Association [a martial arts alliance].

Even though Hwasan had fallen and Shaolin had been humiliated, there were still those who thought that the association itself was still intact.

-Namgoong Clan withdraws from the Murim Association.

Until new news was delivered.

-Namgoong Chun and the Namgoong family join the Divine Demon Alliance.

The core of the Murim Association, the head and his family, had withdrawn and joined the Divine Demon Alliance.

And that was just the beginning.

-Wudang [a martial arts sect].

-Moyong Family [a martial arts family].

Wudang and the Moyong family.

-Tang Clan [a martial arts clan].

They, who had begun to recover their power under the leadership of Tang Hwa-young, and other Five Great Families and Nine Sects, one by one….

-Withdraw from the Murim Association and join the alliance.

They began to move rapidly, changing their allegiance to the Divine Demon Alliance.

With that, everything was as good as over.

-A new order.

The new order that Lee Rowoon had declared was not from now on.

-Asia is already accepting the new order.

Jumchang was the same.

More than half of the Murim Association’s forces had withdrawn and changed their allegiance to the Divine Demon Alliance.

The membership conditions for such a Divine Demon Alliance were also unconventional.

-The Divine Demon Alliance does not discriminate against any force.

As Lee Rowoon had declared that day, they did not discriminate against players or martial artists.

A declaration that they would accept anyone who wanted to be protected, and those who wanted to fight in agreement with the will of the Divine Demon Alliance, regardless of who they were.

And that was actually happening.

-Lee Rowoon, is he a new leader?

Also, questions and doubts about Lee Rowoon were the same.

-Or is he just a tyrant?

But such opinions or questions were fading away.

Everyone actually agreed with Lee Rowoon’s unconventional voice.

Even the ordinary people who always had to be mindful of the players and martial artists.

Even the players who were tired of the violence of the martial artists.

-It’s liberation.

They were all shouting for liberation together.

-This is nothing short of liberation.

Liberation from the existing order.

Liberation from oppression and violence.

Even though a new violence had destroyed everything, the barrier that had been blocking them had collapsed.

And the martial artists were the same.

Those who had never seen the light, pushed aside by the giant forces of the Nine Sects and Five Great Families.

They thought that only players and ordinary people were discriminated against, but most of the small and medium-sized sects were treated the same.

The Nine Sects were also the same.

-Those who seek the righteous path, seek it.

The Divine Demon Alliance declared.

-Those who seek the demonic path, seek it.

As long as they did not violate Lee Rowoon’s order, they could do whatever they wanted under it.

Lee Rowoon’s order was only one thing.

That all people are equal before him.

To keep only that one thing.

“It’s unbelievable how quickly the order is collapsing.”

Lee Shinwoo said, as if he couldn’t believe it.

“It’s an order that no one has been able to break for decades.”

Liberation.

Everything they had only dreamed of was being achieved in less than a week.

Although there had been efforts, the fact that people were accepting it was important.

“The order will collapse even faster, and a new order will take its place.”

Lee Rowoon’s order.

Equality.

Even though Lee Rowoon, a giant being, was placing everyone under his feet, when had the world ever not been like that?

Also, Lee Rowoon had said.

‘Challenge me anytime if you want.’

It was okay to build power and make factions.

If they wanted to defy his will, they should defy him within his order.

That was the new order.

“Thank you.”

Lee Shinwoo said to Lee Rowoon.

“Don’t say useless things.”

Lee Rowoon cut him off.

Lee Rowoon, Lee Shinwoo, Jung Chi-soo, and others were sitting in place, looking somewhere.

-Entry complete.

A telepathic message was heard.

It was where Beopcheon and Shaolin were.
