chapter 11
011. found (3)
I’m probably the only person in the world who has ever been born into a building that can’t even move from its place, so no one will understand my feelings at all.
After experiencing a cataclysm in which a person with memories of living as a human being was born as a building on a completely remote planet where no civilization exists, the fact that he is walking in a civilized world with a human body and on two legs gives this indescribable tremendous feeling. inspirational word
“hey… … How long has it been since you’ve been out in the world?”
“Jiu, are you crying right now?”
“… … Black, you son of a bitch. Pretend you don’t know any of these things. Why are you bastards so careless?”
“… … .”
I was really excited enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Even though my current body is a substitute with a ‘100% match rate’ made by ripping out Kang Jin-hyuk’s induced pluripotent stem cells, and there is no pub in this city where you can eat chicken and beer while watching a baseball game, it didn’t matter anyway. .
The fact that I was walking freely in a ‘city where civilization exists’, not a colony of alien creatures with mucous membranes and hatcheries, was enough for my sensitivity to explode.
Come to think of it, I was really, really lucky.
Accidentally finding Leviathan’s genes and summoning items, and why I was able to come to the restaurant in this city like this, can only be explained by the energy of the universe helping me.
“This is definitely an oriental style. Buildings, clothing, the appearance and culture of the indigenous people are all a dimension that gives off a strange feeling as if Japan and China were merged little by little.”
“I didn’t ask.”
“… … .”
… … Baby talk a lot
After hitting the steamy dumpling into the mouth of the guy who kept trying to hurt his sensitivity, I slowly began to savor the taste of the dumpling.
Oh, see the gravy flow?
This is Dim Sum.
“… … The meat is very juicy. It is delicious food.”
“right. Dumplings that other people buy are really delicious.”
“… … ?”
Kang Jin-hyeok stopped moving his mouth up and down and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Buy some gold and silver from the system shop. Upon closer inspection, I found that this place also mainly trades goods with silver coins. Please draw some before you pay.”
Think carefully. where do i get my money
“… … Am I a dedicated ATM in your eyes? No, wait a minute, using points to purchase precious metals that are used as currency in other worlds is very costly. That’s really like throwing it on the bottom of the point… … .”
“If you want to pull it out, why don’t you talk so much? If you keep rebelling, I might end up leaving you here.”
“… … .”
“Oh, are you crying this time?”
Kang Jin-hyeok put down the dumplings he was eating, and I still enjoyed the dumplings while enjoying the view of the lively roadside.
This world is dark because of the clouds brought by the Gate of the Demon World, but the faces of the people in the city are still full of confidence and energy, not despair and fear.
Well, there was a good reason for that.
“Everyone here is at the level of veteran players.”
“… … Jiwoo? What do you mean?”
“What do you not feel when you look at them?”
“… … I’m not sure.”
People in this world are definitely strong people.
This is definitely a world without administrators and systems, but even a kid in the neighborhood passing by now could feel the momentum equal to that of a fairly veteran player.
I didn’t even have to look into their heads with my ESP ability. Just looking at them, their strength was felt by itself.
For example, in the case of a restaurant lady who is hard at work making dumplings.
“The restaurant lady here must be better than you?”
“… … ?”
“Maybe, I might be slightly stronger than Garam.”
The source of their power is obviously not the divine power that the manager lends to the players. However, in their bodies, a powerful energy equivalent to the divine power of the administrator was well preserved and piled up, regardless of age or gender.
In addition, the sharpness of restrained power revealed in their usual actions, this was proof that it was clear that they were people called ‘masters’ who had undergone long training.
People in this world must not stop training from the moment they are born until the moment they die. It wasn’t called the world of strong people for nothing.
Even if this world is only at the level of civilization of the Middle East and there is no help from administrators and systems, they all have the qualities to be called heroes on Earth.
Well, aside from that, first of all, the dumplings in this house are so delicious. So I immediately placed an additional order.
【Auntie, please give me some more dumplings.】
—… … What a strange guest. Do you use ‘jeoneum’ to order dumplings?
The superpower called ESP is an ability that can be very useful in a place like this.
Regardless of the language barrier, I can just convey my will directly into the other person’s head, and on the contrary, I can read the other person’s deep consciousness to some extent. After running the Hive consciousness so much, this kind of thing is no longer a thing.
So, this restaurant lady misunderstood that my will resonating in her head was a technique called ‘conductive sound’ and sent me an electric sound.
… … no really
No matter how warlike the tendency of this world itself is, can even a restaurant lady use a technique like electric sound?
When the analysis of this world was completed to some extent, I thought that I would be able to immerse myself in it after I just filled up the necessary organic matter for the Legion.
I don’t know if I was the perfect ruler of the corps who only thought about the annihilation of other lifeforms and the thriving of the corps, but I am a being with a human soul in the first place. And the corps I lead are those who, once started, cover an entire planet with mucous membranes.
This land will be inhabited by colonies, and the queens who will rule this land after I leave will eventually harm the people here.
No matter how you think about it, the Legion is a race that is no different from a malignant tumor.
Do I need to stand up in front of those who can defend their world on their own and destroy their home?
made a decision
Let’s not go out and harm these people here, let’s just do some supplies and healing that I need.
The colonies that have already been made can be used as food for Leviathan before they grow bigger, and I can leave cleanly for the earth with the happy feelings and memories I got from this place.
“Kang Jin-hyeok, I will leave here as soon as the necessary supplies are completed.”
If this hadn’t happened around the time I took a very satisfying bite of the extra dumpling, I would have rested very quietly and went out into space again.
Quaang-!!!
It would have been if the Demon Tribe suddenly appeared and ignorantly rammed the restaurant building, and the gate to the Demon World boss appeared in the sky of this peaceful city.
“… … fuck.”
I overturned the bowl of dumplings because of the demons.
The ‘human cosplay outing’ that gave me overwhelming happiness, even for a very short time, also ended in an instant.
Even the happy memories dwelling in the places we have passed by are memories.
The fact that a place so preciously imprinted in my memory becomes a mess in front of my eyes, actually going through this, I feel more fucked than I thought.
【Deliver the jellyfish to the colony right now. Arachne, send all your troops here right now.]
-relay! relay!
-corps! Queen! corps!
-here! here!
-storm! storm!
【Leviathan, over my head.】
―Wow~
You guys are all gone, you bastards.
* * *
People in this world are basically very strong people. They weren’t the kind of people who would be frightened by the arrival of low-level demons.
In particular, the man in the blue uniform was so incredibly strong that I wondered if he was some kind of ‘manager’s incarnation’, and showed off his dignity by single-handedly blocking a group of demons.
However, the rice fields and cities ruined from fighting them made me angry.
One dumpling I bought in this city brought me so much precious happiness and memories, but I couldn’t stand it when I saw that place destroyed in an instant.
[Say, save me!! I’ll do anything you ask, so please help me!!!]
Um, this is a line I think I heard while breaking a ruler on a planet.
I silently glared at the demon boss who was grabbed by the neck.
The momentum that this guy exuded was that of a rather strong baron. In the past, I would never have been able to deal with a guy like this one-on-one.
There are only 10 players in the world who can face a boss of this level one-on-one. Excluding our group, the baron level boss is a level that can be used by opponents who need team-level operations unconditionally.
From the count level, there was no player who could fight one-on-one except for Garam, and when the duke level appeared, literally all players participated in a death raid.
Anyway, this is a story of the past.
【개새끼야.】
I raised my remaining hand and groped for it. I felt the sensation of something tapping on my fingertips.
You’re right, this is your heart.
【I hope you go to heaven, you bastard son of the devil.】
As I gripped my hand tightly, I felt the thrill of his heart bursting, sending my whole body trembling.
The demonic baron, struggling like a condemned prisoner and begging for my life, stopped moving like a marionette with a thread cut off.
Alright, now we’ve got one.
“Jinhyuk Kang, what are you doing? Don’t just watch, deliver the body.”
“… … Oh, I see.”
“hey.”
“… … Yes?”
“If you need points, hunt in moderation.”
Kang Jin-hyeok hesitated for a moment, then took out his sword and used his powers to quickly move away from the city.
A man in a blue uniform, who was watching this scene, spoke to me.
“… … See you.”
【why?】
“I want to fight with you. Please accept me and my men.”
Interest is really strong.
Certainly stronger than any other player on Earth.
However, just because such a powerful being exists, can it be a variable that can determine victory or defeat in a large-scale war?
【No, it’s getting in the way.】
The answer to this question has already been fully demonstrated by the history of the earth’s return.
War is fought by legions and legions.
【I’m leaving.】
Leaving behind the man who was staring blankly at me, I grabbed the tentacles of the jellyfish that had approached overhead before I knew it, and soared up into the sky.
Above the city, Leviathan and my hive mind body were waiting for me.
Booong-!!!
As I returned to Leviathan and looked across the sky, a great darkness began to cover the land.
―Lord, here comes the Legion! command!
It was a group of hornets led by Arachne herself.
The darkness brought by the corps began to cover the demons rushing towards the city like jet-black waves.
【Get rid of all demons attacking the city.】
* * *
A vast plain stretched out right in front of the power of the indigenous people of the region, a colony of disgusting giant plants that covered the land that originally consisted of paddy fields hastily begun to bear fruit.
In order to fill the shortage of attacking objects due to the raid of the Legion wasps, the demonic plants began to extract all the nutrients from the land and cut down the low-level demons.
However, a foreign being appeared on this flower garden.
Huge jellyfish appeared from the sky and began to drop the foreign beings into the demon realm flower fields as if bombing.
It’s a legion’s worker.
-food! gathering!
—Plant entity, tasteless.
―However, the quantity is sufficient.
When the jellyfish shouted, the worker insects raised their claws and immediately started weeding.
Kyaaag-!!!
The demonic plants that were suddenly attacked started screaming and attacking the worker with their tentacles, but to no avail.
Some of the worker bugs couldn’t avoid it and were entangled in the demonic tentacles and dragged to the flower, but the rest of the workers grabbed the tentacles with claws and cut them off.
-You stupid jellyfish. So at what age are you going to bring nutrients to the colony?
―Just build a hatchery by transforming worker bugs there. That side will be better.
A rebuke from the queen of the new legion heard from somewhere.
The jellyfish floated sullenly in the air for a moment, then started giving orders to the drones.
-Worker bug! Hatchery!
-transformation! transformation!
-storm! storm!
The worker bugs, who perfectly understood the order of such an idiot-like jellyfish, hurriedly removed their legs and swelled up hugely on the spot.
Hundreds of hatcheries began to metamorphose at the same time in an instant in a flower field conceiving demons.
[It’s an intruder!]
The demons who noticed this began to flock.
Perhaps they had received a report that an emergency had occurred in their power supply and demand area, and the sky around them split several times, and there were signs that a large number of demonic bosses would appear.
Sensing this, the jellyfish hurriedly screamed.
– Enemy, enemy!
-intruder!
-defense! defense!
Now they insist on calling each other intruders.
Anyway, the jellyfish was an individual that had the ability to fight to some extent, but it was obvious that these hatcheries would become quite dangerous if a strong entity like a boss-level demon appeared.
The swarm of wasps that Arachne created in a hurry was on a business trip to hunt down demons targeting the city by circling all areas of the continent, and the 3 types of spiders were still waiting to hatch in the northern colony, so the legion troops who will come here to help right away. there was no
―Governor, the enemy has noticed the existence of the Legion Hatchery! I can feel the powerful spirit ruling this flower field!
Sensing a sense of crisis, the urgent voice of the fledgling Legion Queen shook the Hive consciousness.
【it’s okay. Let’s put what we’ve been researching on into actual practice.]
However, the ruler’s willingness to answer this seemed a bit exhilarating.
【Now, shall we set up a flower garden?】
About half of the hatchery, which had been growing in size, began to change from the shape of a spider’s body to a terrifying shape that looked like a giant jellyfish stuck in the ground and turned upside down with all its tentacles tied together.
It seems that the ruler of the corps created the corps’ ‘defense tower’ this time.
[Queen of the Corps, be sure to protect the area until the Spider Corps hatches. It would be difficult to give them that flower garden. Build as many ‘thorn tentacles’ as possible.]
―My ruler, I accept your order.
―Worker bugs, hurry up and metamorphose!
In an instant, the owner of the flower garden began to change.
Soon, the gigantic tentacles of the newly transformed building began to stretch out very coolly toward the hundreds of thousands of jingling demons pouring out of the gate.
