"Shut. Them. UP!"
Upon hearing my demand, this slim demon was even more confused.
*Man, look what you've done, he's too scared now.*
*Why does he have horns, looks detailed, are we in full immerse VR?*
*What's the point of doing that if we're all bound to Mr. Main?*
*By the way, who of us is Mr. Main*
*Got no clue*
*Anyway, is there any way to change Mr. Main?*
*Got no clue*
*Just shut up.*
*Nah, got no clue*
Trying my best to ignore these voices that overwhelmed me like a wave, causing me to feel a headache, I concentrated all my attention on a demon in front of me, as he is my only hope of saving myself from these voices.
"Shut them up!"
"Stop right now!" -The Knight of Shadow attacked me but I only bothered to raise a hand and use a force laser, pushing him away. His helmet somehow managed to save his life, denting inside hard as a result. Through a peripheral vision, I saw how he took it off, using great effort while I'm using a little effort suffocating little shitty demon.
"Stop... ah..."
*Oh shit, he's really mad at this poor guy*
*Isn't it abusing mechanical superiority?*
*Who cares? Oh damn look! That knight guy isn't a human!*
*Wow, his face is like a lemur's, also sly and gracious look, really adorable~ *
*Furry...*
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I don't care why, but just shut up for a second!
*Is that Mr. Maine? *
*Seems so...*
*Broo! I'm sure you're my brother! Give me your body real quick, I swear I'll fix it all no matter what's the trouble! I'll be more reliable than a system!*
Wait... system... System! Shut them all up!
[Analysing request... Failed to find a crux... No valid solution]
Just stop all excessive thought processes!
[Analysing... Analysing CPU's occupancy... 10%.]
*System! Switch on external perception!*
*System transport control over a body to me!*
*Delete everyone except for me!**
[Analysing requests... access denied! The control is granted to a player with the highest authority, Human Z12427, the Ultimate Great Champion, The Last Human Gladiator.]
Idea! System, release the thought speed limit personally from me.
[The limit is removed from Human Z12427.]
Set a maximum speed!
...silence... Finally, silence! After removing the limit I put on a long time ago, I finally felt a relieving silence. I put it long ago cuz it's too tiresome to fight with the ability to think a human minute in just a tick, maybe others are ok with that, but I preferred to be at most in the peak of human proceeding abilities. The reason is simple, it's just too boring and painful, along with access to a database it simply turns me into a robot, a shitty one in a modern sense? For sure, but into a robot anyway.
Now, I can think more or less in peace. The system, block any messages and information from the players with a level less than the master, no, a top master.
[Analysing... founding a valid decision... done.]
Okay, now 99% of the noise must be shut down. Now, it's time to analyse the situation. Switch on the external perception. Everything looked like slow mo. The Knight of Shadow trying to attack me, the demon in front of me trying to force me to release a tight grip, servants and others who are too confused to take action, well, a great situation for sure.
Okay, now... what's the situation over here? I'm brought seemingly to a leader and now I'm suffocating it, is there any way to solve it peacefully? I don't want to kill everyone around, I'm now most likely out of the game, so why'd I try to destroy every living being around? Am I a psycho, well, am I a complete psycho? Hm... Okay. Return the limit.
[Returning the proceeding speed...]
Silence. Finally, are you here, top masters?
*Got no clue buddy.*
You're annoying U know?
*Yep, and you're about to get sliced*

"Clang!"
"Clang!"
They're finally overcome the panic and started an action? Heh.
Upon their careful gazes, I slowly stood up and smiled, while strengthening my grip on the Leader.
"Gentlemen, I think we had a severe misunderstanding, why don't we drop our weapons and get along? I'm here not because I willed to get here, hope you will understand."
"Yeah, we should trust you while you're holding our Lord's throat, that's really reliable of you" - One of the demons scoffed, his word seemed to click a switch in my mind, yeah, that slipped over.
I released this guy and he fell to the ground, Tekush as I remember. While he was catching his breath I bowed and said.
"Greetings, Lord Tekush. Sorry for ruining our first meeting, after all, It's hard to think when a lot of douchebags are screaming some stuff. My name is Human Z12427."
*What's the point of it? * Got no clue guy asked.
My train of thought is logical, believe me. What's the best way to get along with someone? Of course to introduce yourself!
*Heh, you didn't change as I see buddy.* Another voice came out
Who are you?
*Don't you recognize my voice? Well, it must be a long time ago I think. You've killed me twice as I remember*
The System, show the names of the ones who are talking!
[Analyzing order... finding a satisfying solution... Done]
Z529310: *Now you know who I am, buddy. *
Z... Oh damn...
Z529310: *I'm not the only one, I "see" others from a thousand Champs, they're quiet though.*
A9: *Not me though.*
A9? You're a part of the first batch?
"Z12427... *Panting* A unique name for sure. I believe you don't have bad intentions, but you have to explain, what's the purpose of your visit. "
"Accidentally."
A9: *Don't you think it's too short *
Got no clue
A9: *My school.*
What about others, why other's are so quiet?
A9: *Got no clue. It's you're a main, not me.*
B1923: *It's just because there's nothing to say, I can't say for everyone but I'm lost. What's going on is out of my understanding. A moment before I died at the hands of E198215, a nice girl. *
Z529310: *I remember her, she had been a very cheerful first 30 years but after she became a champion she seemed to lose all her faith. From time to time, I missed her, well, before you killed me *
Hey, I didn't know it was you.
Z529310: *I know you didn't know, memory alteration is truly non-humanistic. By the way, what happened to my brother? He was still a human back then*
Oh, about that...
Z529310: *Smashed his head off?*
Nah, melted his head with a laser
Z529310: *... may his soul rest in peace.*
Aren't you an atheist?
Z529310: *Yes I am, as a human of science I don't believe in god. But he did believe. *
Huh, it's really nice to talk with somebody after so many years.
A9: *As I understood you lasted the longest?*
As far as I know, it's have been 130 years since the Earth was conquered.
A9: *90-year difference, and how did I got resurrected? *
Got, ahem, I have a memory of every single person in the arena, roughly about 30% of the whole of humanity.
Z529310: About 53 billion?
I think so. Hm, the system, how much "active intelligence" you had detected?
[Analysing the request... Calculating... 1 584 332 141]
Billion and a half, wait, what's the energy percentage!?
[99%]
Z529310: It's unscientific! You must have used at least 80% of your energy to sustain the thought process of that much human! Cyberlife Companies used a lot of energy to sustain even a million lives, and it was a luxury!
That's probably because you didn't get *resurrected* by science but by magic, I think.
Oh yeah, I was just lost in thoughts, I've been standing silent for already a minute or a few. Coughing, I said.
"What do you think about eating together, I think we should know each other better. "
