188 – Colossal Power (18)
Chapter 188 – Colossal Power (18)
“It seems that only war skills are increasing.”
The fight at the fort was the event I was most focused on today.
The tactics that Ren, who gained the ability to manipulate her magnetic field based on her spirit power, collaborated with the dwarves, alleviated my concerns about how to fight against monsters who do not use metal weapons. Blown away at once.
Perhaps it was because of the situation we were in, and the fighting power of the inhabitants of the world in the pot was noticeably rising.
Various races were added beyond the place of residence or power, and the members became more diverse, and I could see development in various aspects through the exchange, but the fastest developing among them was war technology.
‘Is it fate?’
I laughed bitterly when my thoughts went crazy. Competition and struggle are the laws of nature.
While the world inside the pot is increasing exchanges with each other and with the outside world, the purpose is to develop the strength for their own survival.
Those wriggling in the pots are of different races from my point of view, but since they think similarly in many parts, the result is bound to be the same.
The most important thing in my files, which record their history as a video, was the war.
‘Or maybe it was intended.’

Of course, other thoughts crossed my mind. It is thanks to this project system that I met them now. And since the superficial purpose of the system is clearly divided between winning and losing and success, fostering and competition are clear.
The true purpose or the whereabouts of the victorious participants, which even the history of the system has not been able to find out, can still only be guessed at.
‘Then what will become of me?’
Of course, the end of my thoughts reached me too. I’m just using this project, I’m not trying to do anything specifically, but there will be an end anyway, just like the existing participants did.
Am I left alone at the moment of the end, will I become a winner or a loser? What happens if you become a winner and what happens if you become a loser?
If there is any benefit to becoming a winner, should I aim for that for the future?
My thoughts are complicated.

“The raid team won the battles one after another, and went over the rift to their base to subdue them.”
“…Well done.”
When Seunghyun was looking down at them. Those who did not know the fact also watched the battlefield from the field.
Serenian, who deliberately did not step forward, set foot in the fortress for the first time only now. Climbing the somber yet majestic wall, he looked across the plain to which his troops had advanced.
Of course, her body was still trembling. After a fierce fight, people were killed and injured one after another, but it was an unfamiliar feeling to her that she just watched her without stepping out.
“It’s good to lead by example, but sometimes it’s more important to realize the value you have and use it well. Even the hero who saved the world did not go to all battlefields and did not go to save everyone.”
“That’s right.”
“Victory in the Great War is not the achievement of only the heroes known to the world. Although now everything has been distorted as to where the collaboration was sold, at least the victory at that moment can be said to be everyone’s achievement.”
Kara approached her and helped her find psychological stability by telling her story of her days in the Great War.
In the meantime, Serenian hadn’t had many opportunities to receive such advice, so it was a pretty effective help for her.
“You must overcome in order to become the leader of Eden, a huge force that will prosper even greater.”
“I didn’t have such a grandiose goal. It’s enough just to keep what you have. I don’t know if that will happen.”
“I know you won’t invade and pillage your surroundings to expand your territory like the others, but the more you know about this place, the bigger it will become in the future.”
Serenian laughed bitterly at Kara’s words and shook her head, but Kara’s eyes were already shining with confidence. Besides, in reality the prophecy was unlikely to be wrong.
The more confused the continent, the more people who have lost their way to go, and Eden will accept them.
‘It would be convenient to know exactly what Heaven wants.’
Serenian’s eyes shook. Originally, all she wanted was to save and help her people in the Great Forest.
Innumerable things that happened in the process rolled and rolled until now. Now that she’s at the head of a huge collective, she’s leading a new world, she deserves some hardships.
“She looked around and adjusted to this place, and that’s what she thought. Maybe what this place shows is not the real future that should have come to us after the Great War. If we become stronger and don’t carelessly look down on anyone on the continent… Wouldn’t it be possible to actually reproduce this scene on the continent?”
In the midst of that, Kara’s words, which she muttered indifferently, were deeply embedded in Serenian’s heart.
“For now, let’s wait for the raid team to finish their mission and come out.”
Soon, her eyes changed and Serenian looked away. As she said, first of all, the problem in front of her had to be resolved before she could discuss the next thing.
“Hey! They are on the floor too!”
“I can finally use it!”
Inside the crack Serenian was looking at anxiously. There, the forces of Eden, who had pressed on and turned to the offensive, were engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy who had begun the defense this time.
Inside the portal was a huge fly nest with the terrain and appearance like a large, dark cave. The Dwarves, who had brought their cannons, began firing cannons filled with gunpowder as if they were rather happy when the maggots infested on the floor approached, spitting acidic substances.
The power is sufficient. The ground was deeply dug by the metal bullets, and the enemies hit by them exploded or were crushed all at once.
“Similar to fighting parasitic bees. We have to come together and respond.”
As for Ren, she lost a lot of her strength while she was active, but she had a presence in the capture team that could exert strong power even without a spirit.
Pia, who is always serious about fighting demon beasts, stepped up and sent several balls of light made of mana up into the air to illuminate all directions.
If the enemies stopped moving, even for a moment, the elves’ arrows focused there and pierced the enemies.
“Hey, he must be the boss.”
“That’s a fly…?”
And finally, they brought out what appeared to be the leader of the beast flies in the infested nest.
As soon as the figure was seen, a commotion spread among the troops who had been fighting well.
Unlike other mutants that maintained the original shape of a fly, it was different from its appearance.
[Demonic Beast Fly Monarch]
He was a monarch. A special variant that was born from an egg laid by a poisonous prey, ate all of its siblings born together, and monopolized the prey.
It’s not that it’s extremely gigantic or extremely grotesque, but it’s definitely unusual. It had wings like other flies, but was bipedal on two developed hind limbs, and each of its four arms modified into its hands held a weapon, whether it was a carapace spear or a sword.
It didn’t even have the huge compound eyes that other monster flies have. On the head piled up with hard armor, red eyes shining through the gaps were only shining.
“Everyone back down.”
Pia intuitively sensed its danger and hurriedly made those fighting in the front line fall back.
At the same time, dark red flames made of mana flared up from his body. He was the reason why the monster fly nests appeared, which were not as strong or numerous compared to the balls in the pots.
“Yes, if a dungeon can be created by the system, then the people in it must have been there in the past.”
The small drone that was watching it from the air swayed back and forth according to the user’s emotions.
Another entity that accompanied the beginning of Eden was the demons. A true disaster that attacks and devours both the inhabitants of the continent and the demon realm.
They weren’t just bugs or trash mobs. They too were a part of the system designed with a purpose, and they were living witnesses of the fierce age of mythology that accompanied the system.
“Hey, in case you don’t know, I think you should go.”
In a hurry, Seunghyun picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Serenian, who was waiting outside. Training and training are good, but their purpose is to increase combat power, not to reduce it.
Of course, Serenian was frightened and hurriedly rode the fairy ant with Kara and jumped over the fortress and into the portal.
And in the meantime, a battle was already about to break out inside.
