The Main Character Competes With Quantity

010. found (2)

The fact that not only Earth but also other planets have life and civilizations may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but it was a very familiar story to players who were given systems and powers by administrators.

In the system shop, there were ‘items’ that were certain to have come from another world, and there were ‘powers’ that the manager had stolen from another world, and the demons themselves were originally from the world of demons.

Needless to say, the existence of the returnees who went missing after trying to figure out the personality of the earth manager was also a clear proof.

Scientists who are ignorant and exploring whether life can exist in the universe will be shocked to learn this fact. However, the ruler, who was already dragging an army of alien creatures, and the player, who was full of junk food, did not blink an eye, let alone be surprised by this.

Rather, in their minds

“저 빌어먹을 새끼들에게 군단의 쓴맛을 보여 줘야겠어. You will be an excellent source of protein for the Legion.”

“It’s something to be delivered.”

Beyond the contempt and anger towards the demons, he was only full of greed to catch and eat them.

“It seems that this world is working harder than I thought, right? Is that continent still clean?”

“… … There is a high probability that a civilization exists on this planet. That must be the shape of a city.”

The ruler of the Legion, who considers himself ‘generous’, stared at the expressionless player, then began to activate the soul thresher with all his might.

“Jinhyuk, guessing civilization by looking at a city is a very natural reasoning that even a bastard with flour noodles in his skull can think of. Seriously, I’ve been curious about this for a long time, but why do you pretend to say things that seem obvious? What kind of nitrogen snack are you? How can all sentences produced by the mouth be so uniformly packed with nitrogen? Is your power [Nitrogen Charging Passive]? Or were you home schooled in fantasy or martial arts?”

“… … .”

“Stop talking about nitrogen-packed bullshit and get some food out. Mt. Geumgang is also an after-dinner view. Let’s start by eating before we go to work.”

After they finished their lunch, the waiting Leviathan stopped rotating its body to create artificial gravity and began entering the planet’s atmosphere.

As the inside suddenly became weightless and the leftovers of the lunch box floated in the air, Kang Jin-hyeok had to cool off while cleaning up the lunch box.

[Welcome to the planet ‘Kangho World’.]

[warning! The current dimension has an administrator out of office.]

[warning! Currently, the dimension war is in progress.]

Kang Jin-hyeok, who was diligently cleaning the Budae-jjigae soup from around the hive mind with a mop he bought from the system store, tilted his head for a moment when he saw the system message that suddenly came to mind.

“… … martial arts? Manager out of office?”

The ruler of the legion grinned.

“No owner? then.”

His smile is becoming more fishy and creepy with each passing day.

“Are you saying that it doesn’t matter if you feel free to mess with it?”

【Clear your sight.】

【Observe and transmit everything happening on the surface of this planet.】

【From now on, there should be absolutely no incidents that I don’t know about.】

―Observation, observation!

– Ruler, order.

-sight, sight.

-storm, storm.

As soon as Leviathan reached the stratospheric heights of this planet, I unleashed all the jellyfish legions that had awakened from hibernation and began full-scale reconnaissance.

As anyone who has played RTS (Real-Time Strategy) games knows, the information obtained through reconnaissance is so important that it can decide the outcome of the game.

Because the one who monopolizes information unilaterally controls the game.

Even in a game that was once famous, splitting the money to buy equipment and purchasing an item called ‘Ward’ is all for information gathering, and sending reconnaissance while giving up resources to be gathered by workers is in the same vein. Even in real life, spending a lot of money to launch a military satellite into orbit is all about information gathering.

In that respect, my corps possessed truly overwhelming mobility and reconnaissance capabilities.

Thousands of Legion Jellyfish, under my command, began gathering information in earnest in the sky after dividing their territory among themselves.

-lord, north, forest.

– Something to eat. life detection.

Of course, reports that are heard only in words are not worth much use. In particular, the report of the young jellyfish is incomplete information with a lot of comments from them.

Only when I see the field of view collected by jellyfish with my own eyes and go through a precise analysis process is it transformed into usable information.

“Let’s start slowly. Kang Jin-hyeok, buy one bed from the system and hand it over.”

“… … i get it.”

“If you buy something like a low-class bed and give it to me, I’ll tie you up again with spider webs.”

“… … It is not a bed, but a commodity called science.”

“call.”

Prior to running the corps in earnest, I put the human body, which had distinct limitations, into a sleep state and then desynchronized it. No matter how much help there is from the main body that shares mental power, it is because there is a limit to the capacity that is difficult to withstand the connection of excessive group consciousness with only a human brain.

What I am doing now is not something as simple as converting mental power into physical force, but rather directly hammering into my head the Hive Consciousness information collected by thousands of jellyfish.

If you recklessly receive information from the entire corps while using a human body, your brain can burn out in an instant without being able to withstand the excessive psionic energy.

As it was a body that was made with difficulty, it needed to be treated with care.

It’s been a while since I started looking at the planet’s surface through the eyes of the Hive Mind.

Now, if I set my mind to it, I can simultaneously share the senses of any entity that can access the Hive consciousness.

As soon as I expanded my senses, sensory information from thousands of jellyfish rushed into my head in an instant, but my huge body was capable of processing this amount of calculations.

【Oh, this feeling kills me after all.】

Everything on this planet is being grasped in a broadly expanded field of view. All that visual information was analyzed in an instant with ESP abilities close to my own and overwhelming computing power.

The cities and villages of the indigenous people living in this world, the areas that the demons have swallowed while creating flower gardens, and even the most suitable locations for the colonies to feed the legions.

It only took a few minutes to figure this all out.

【Arachne, form a colony in the northern jungle.】

―I will carry out your orders, great ruler of the Legion.

【Create an army including a sufficient number of queens. I will leave all this work to you.]

―Please leave it to me, ruler.

Arachne, Queen of the Legion, hung a worker bug on a jellyfish to the limit and headed for a place rich in organic matter to feed the Legion.

After a while, the worker worm removed all of its legs, formed a cocoon, and began to grow in size by absorbing nutrients from its surroundings.

It was the first hatchery to take root on this unclaimed planet.

【Okay, the work is over.】

Now all I have to do is… … .

“Kang Jin-hyuk, there’s a restaurant that sells noodles and dumplings. let’s go eat.”

Let’s start by exploring restaurants in another world.

A competent legion queen is meant to be used in such cases.

Invaders of Pandemonium have always adhered to the same pattern of attack.

First of all, a huge ‘Gate’ connected to the Pandemonium is opened, and seeds of the Pandemonium plant are sown throughout the target dimension.

Demon plants sucked up all the nutrients in the world, devastated the land, poisoned the water and air, and created new demons.

These objects are what mankind classifies as ‘lower demons’, but after all, they are just improvised creatures containing the genetic factor of demons, not real demons.

The real demons are ‘boss-level’ nobles who rule over them.

Unlike lower-class entities with bat wings, they have an appearance reminiscent of ‘fallen angels’ with white wings like eagles.

[You guys are strong.]

The demons who now held the title of ‘Baron’ were glaring at the man who single-handedly stopped the advance of the demon army.

In this oriental-style city that was being devastated and consumed by fire, there were thousands of lower-class demons’ blood and corpses.

However, there were no low-level demons alive here. the attack failed.

The only achievement was to demolish the buildings in the city.

The people of this world were really incomprehensibly strong, and among them, there were many exceptionally strong people who were as strong as high-ranking demons.

The occupation operation never progresses.

The demonic baron glared at the person who caused it with cold eyes. The only reason the attack on this city failed was because he couldn’t get past that guy, a man in a blue uniform holding a blazing sword.

[What’s your name?]

The man in the blue uniform responded to the demon baron’s question with an expressionless expression and a hard tone that reminded him of Kang Jin-hyeok. His appearance now looked very young, in his early twenties, but his way of speaking and atmosphere reminded me of that of an old veteran.

“Wicked man, why are you curious about my name? Why does someone who dreams of invasion need my name?”

The demon baron erased his cold eyes and smiled warmly at the man as he spoke.

At first glance, it was a devilish smile that looked like an angel.

[Become a member of the Demon World. A strong person like you will greatly help us unify all dimensions. Become my follower. I give you wealth and honor.]

There is a reason why the demons destroyed the world.

They used blood ties that already existed in the world to do thorough preliminary work before the invasion, and in this way, they knew how to make good use of the way they seduced the opponent’s strong person and made them their own.

The man, who looked at the beautiful smile of the demon baron as if he was bewitched for a moment, shook his head resolutely as if it was not worth listening to.

“Wicked man. Even though I am a person with an enemy in evil, I am still a person who has been studying martial arts while growing up in this land. I have met countless wicked people in my whole life, but I have never seen one as wicked as you.”

The gentle smile on the demon baron’s face disappeared like a lie.

He only erased the smile, but now the baron’s face radiated a typical goblin’s air.

[There is no need for long words, just tell the business. Will you become my clan? Otherwise, you will die here today.]

Even in front of such a demonic baron, the man did not lose his composure at all.

“As a group that promotes all dimensions, you can’t help but be insane. How can you handle this karma and do something like that?”

A blue sword that was nearly ten meters long exploded from his sword.

“Of course I have no intention of following you.”

In an instant, his new form became blurry, and before he knew it, a blue blade of sword was attacking the demon baron’s whole body.

[This guy!!!]

The Asmodian Baron quickly put up a guard with a lot of black mana wrapped around his arm.

Quaang-!!!

Arms collided with swords, and a huge, deafening explosion rang out.

The demon baron was pushed back more than 10 meters at the moment by this shock, but to my surprise, the man stood upright where he had been standing as if he hadn’t moved, and was taking the flag-raising ceremony.

A smile crept across the man’s lips.

“Since I became the head of the religion, it’s been a while since I’ve met an opponent I’m willing to fight with.”

As his new form faded again, his sword spirit split into dozens of branches and attacked the demon baron.

However, the demon baron is also a formidable being. In response, dozens of mana spewed out and swallowed all the swords intact.

Quaang! Quaang! Kwaaang-!!!

In an instant, the surroundings were devastated by their fight.

“You must have been born with great power.”

The man in the uniform was truly a monster itself.

Even in this intense exchange of air and water, where all the corpses of lower-ranking demons were replaced, he spoke with a calm voice without any disturbance.

In contrast, the demon baron’s expression began to distort little by little. The attack that he couldn’t stop, the wounds were gradually increasing on his body without realizing it.

“However, I don’t know how to properly handle the power I have.”

[What? How dare you?!]

“Take a good look.”

In an instant, the man’s body split into dozens of blurry shapes surrounding the demon baron, and bloody sword energy began pouring in from all directions.

“Power is how you use it.”

[this… … !!!]

No matter how powerful the demons were born with magical powers, they could not instantly defend all defenses.

[Quaaagh This fucking bastard!!!]

A dazzling wing of the demon baron soared into the air along with dark blood.

[You bastard!!! I will kill you!!!]

The man continued to speak calmly, still not losing his breath, towards the baron, who was looking at him with a gaze full of pain and anger, and who smoked a terrifying murder.

“Although I have no grudge against you, many people have already died because of your subordinates. I can’t help it. I’ll take your neck painlessly in the next move. Oh, remember.”

The shape of the man in the blue uniform faded again.

“My name is Jang Tae-sik, the leader.”

It was about to collide head-on with the blue sword and the black magic.

The moment the dark clouds in the sky summoned by the Demon World were pierced by something huge and the intense sunlight poured into the world, this time a tremendous explosion shook the ground and the air itself.

Kwaaang-!!!

This wasn’t a shock created by the man’s swordsmanship.

The Asmodian Baron was thrown out after receiving a very strong impact in the wrong direction, and rolled on the ground for a long time vomiting blood.

【You bastard, I met you today.】

“… … Huiguangxin Language (慧光心語)?! no, who are you?”

Tae-shik Jang, the teacher who briefly looked absurd at the sudden development of the situation while preparing for the blow of conversion, turned his gaze to his side.

【So who are you?】

“… … Are you saying you don’t know me?”

【Yeah, I don’t know.】

“… … .”

I don’t know where it came from, but next to Jang Tae-sik stood a man with glowing golden eyes.

The man, dressed in a unique style that did not exist in this world, was burning a dazzling golden aura all over his body.

Taesik Jang thought.

‘… … What is this great intimidation? Is it really a person?’

From his point of view, the energy this man was exuding was so overwhelming that it was hard to think of him as a person.

【You fucking bastard who won’t be happy even if you chew on it. How dare you ruin my dumpling tasting?]

Come on -!!!

The moment a huge cry of a whale was heard from the sky, the man stretched out his arm and showed off the technique of catching the demon’s collar ‘from a distance’.

[eww… … town… … !!!]

The demonic baron groaned and began to struggle desperately like a condemned prisoner being hanged.

“… … Huh, empty space thing?!!!”

The head of the school, Jang Tae-shik, opened his mouth wide.
