Chapter 220 - The Isekai Arc ( FILLER)

The Corporate Hypocrisy

Filoska casually rested the heavy barrel of her R-57 rifle against her hip, staring at the screaming fanatic with supreme boredom.

"Great," Filoska sighed heavily. "I think we now have to legally deal with their middle management."

Kniya stepped forward, aggressively popping a massive bubble of mint gum. He looked the towering, heavily armored General up and down with absolute mockery.

"Hey. Down, boy," Kniya sneered, treating the holy warrior like a misbehaving pet. "A loyal dog does not speak out of turn. And what the actual fuck is all this corporate HR jargon about 'sin'?"

Kniya gestured wildly to the ruined cabbage carts and the bruised villagers cowering in the mud.

"We just killed a few corrupt guards to restructure the market. But your men have been brutally beating innocent people and destroying their property all morning!" Kniya laughed, his voice echoing with cold, chaotic amusement. "You are actively killing and starving people too, you fucking idiot! Why is your violence not classified as a sin?! Does your twisted, deeply hypocritical religion magically not count it as a sin when you do it? Is it suddenly considered a 'good deed' just because you are wearing a shiny, over-branded uniform?"

Kniya leaned in close, his eyes completely devoid of fear. "I am genuinely amused by the sheer, unadulterated hypocrisy of your entire organizational structure. But like I said... you are just a dog. You shouldn't speak so much."

The Executive Execution

A deeply loyal, heavily armored guard standing next to the General completely snapped. Enraged by the blatant disrespect to his commander and his faith, the guard drew his broadsword with a furious battle cry and violently lunged directly at Kniya's throat.

Filoska didn't even blink.

She fluidly raised her R-57 rifle, aimed down the iron sights with absolute, calculating executive precision, and pulled the trigger.

BOOM!

The thunderous blast shattered the silence of the market square. The massive, armor-piercing ballistic round struck the charging guard squarely in the face. His ornate helmet instantly crumpled, and the man's body violently flipped backward through the air, crashing into a fruit stand in a lifeless, heavily armored heap.

The entire Holy Divine Army froze in stunned, paralyzing shock. They had never seen a weapon that could instantly bypass blessed iron from a distance.

Kniya didn't even flinch at the deafening gunshot. He just casually stepped over the slowly expanding pool of blood, looking dead into the General's horrified eyes.

"And that, right there," Kniya stated coldly, "is exactly what happens when you blindly follow terrible orders from an incompetent Dog."

The General's face twisted from shock into absolute, fanatical madness. He slowly drew his massive, glowing longsword from its scabbard, the holy runes flaring with blinding, magical light as he pointed the blade directly at the four billionaires.

"You will be eradicated!" the General screamed, his voice cracking with absolute religious zealotry. "I will personally butcher you all for the peace, the salvation, and the ultimate cleansing of this world!"

The Aggressive Downsizing

Kniya aggressively popped his mint gum, entirely unfazed by the General's fanatical screaming.

"Oh my God," Kniya sighed, rolling his eyes. "Dogs speak way too much. Shut up already."

Enraged beyond all human limits, the General raised his glowing longsword and roared a holy battle cry. Dozens of heavily armored guards drew their broadswords and charged forward, fully expecting to slaughter the four unarmed-looking executives.

But they didn't stand a single chance.

Salesh and Filoska immediately raised their R-57 rifles and held down the triggers. The heavy, armor-piercing rounds tore through the market square, instantly shredding the charging holy vanguard. The divine armor crumpled like cheap tin foil.

"Malesh! Let's increase our physical market share!" Kniya yelled over the gunfire.

Kniya closed his eyes, his imagination-to-creation power flaring to life. With a heavy, mechanical thud, a massive, gas-powered, heavy-duty industrial chainsaw violently materialized in his hands. He tossed the heavy machinery directly to Malesh.

Malesh caught the chainsaw by the handle. A deeply terrifying, psychopathic corporate smile stretched across his face. He aggressively yanked the pull-cord, and the chainsaw roared to life with a deafening, mechanical scream.

"Finally," Malesh sneered, stepping forward into the chaotic melee. "Some hands-on management."

What followed was a highly unspeakable, brutal massacre. Malesh swung the revving chainsaw with terrifying precision, easily slicing through blessed iron shields, holy weapons, and the screaming royal guards themselves. It was an absolute bloodbath of corporate efficiency.

The General could only watch in pure, paralyzed horror as his elite, divine soldiers were effortlessly butchered by four people in expensive business attire.

The Ecological Deficit (Narrator's POV)

Now, as this incredibly brutal, high-stakes fight was unfolding, a deeply fascinating metaphysical phenomenon was occurring right beneath their expensive leather shoes.

You see, Kniya's unlimited ammo supply and Malesh's highly targeted spells didn't just come from nowhere. As they continuously abused their overpowered cheat abilities, the vibrant, emerald-green grass of the medieval market square began to rapidly turn a dull, sickly gray.

The ancient, towering trees near the town gates instantly began to wither. The beautiful flowers decorating the market stalls turned to dry ash and blew away in the wind. The sheer, unregulated magnitude of the executives' powers was aggressively draining the ambient life force out of the environment. The nature of this world was literally being violently evaporated and bankrupted just to fuel their weapons.

It was a deeply tragic, poetic sight. The delicate blades of grass, once full of morning dew, were now curling up in absolute agony, their cellular structure completely collapsing under the weight of capitalist magic. The leaves on the oak trees—

SMACK!

The Editorial Intervention

WHAM!

"Ow! What the actual fuck?!" I yelled, aggressively rubbing my jaw.

Just outside the town gates, a man violently materialized out of thin air, looking like he hadn't slept in three consecutive weeks. He marched right up to me and delivered a devastating punch directly to my face. It was the kind of punch that echoes through the very fabric of the space-time continuum.

It was the Author. He had literally bypassed the physical boundaries of the dimension, tearing through the metaphysical narrative veil in his sweatpants and a t-shirt that he had clearly worn over and over again, looking exactly like he had just worked for several hours at a construction site, inserting his own human form into the medieval dirt just to physically assault me.

"What the fuck are you even narrating right now?!" the Author screamed, his face red with absolute, stress-induced fury.

"Author sir! Why are you here?!" I panicked, taking a defensive step back. "I am doing my job! I was establishing the socio-ecological deficit of their magic!"

"Why the hell are you explaining the fucking trees getting destroyed?!" the Author yelled, violently pointing toward the market square. "It is the main fight scene! Malesh is currently conducting a hostile corporate takeover of a knight's ribcage with a gas-powered chainsaw, and you are over here talking about cellular structure?! You are completely tanking our audience retention metrics, you absolute idiot!"

"But the lore!" I argued, trying to sound professional. "The grass is getting lifeless! I was about to dedicate three entire paragraphs to the sudden interruption of the local photosynthesis! Their powers drain the environment! It's a massive, foundational plot point!"

"I know that their powers are actively draining the fucking life out of the environment, I literally wrote the lore!" the Author screamed, aggressively grabbing me by the collar. "But nobody tuned in to read a botanical autopsy! It is a highly anticipated action sequence, and you are rambling about the delicate dew on the grass! I swear to God, you have the attention span of a concussed goldfish! What the fuck is your problem with pacing?!"

I opened my mouth to defend my artistic vision, but the Author completely cut me off.

"And another thing!" the Author continued, practically foaming at the mouth. "I know exactly how you are destroying this series behind my back! I reviewed the analytics! Several times, you actively deleted Kniya and Malesh's high-octane R-12 engine driving scenes—which the demographic absolutely loves, and which I spent three days writing—just to insert your own useless, self-indulgent yapping!"

"I was just adding narrative context to enrich the world-building—"

"You were mocking the viewers!" the Author interrupted, aggressively shaking me. "You were actively making fun of the readers, telling them they couldn't do anything about your monologues! What the fuck was even that?! Are you trying to get this story canceled?! I love our audience really, really much! They are our primary investors! Without them, we are nothing! I hope this highly unprofessional behavior shall never be repeated again!"

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry, God!" I surrendered, rubbing my bruised jaw. "I will go back to the fight!"

The Author glared at me one last time, violently pointing a finger at my chest. "Focus on the chainsaw, you idiot!"

With a bright flash of light, the Author vanished back to the real world, leaving me standing in the dirt outside the town walls.

Alright. Fine. You heard the boss. Let's skip the environmental bankruptcy and get back to the absolute, unhinged corporate violence happening in the market square.
