173 – Running Ambassador
‘Let there be light!’
This is a Korean translation of the Hebrew word יהԴי או۹ר! That appears in Genesis, the first chapter of the Old Testament.
It is also the first sentence that God first uttered.
This is because after creating heaven and earth, God cried out for there to be light in order to drive out darkness.
Thus, the light coming from the Old Testament has the properties of a spell.
There was God’s will to summon light, and he directly shouted out that will, and it became the source of all life.
In other words, light is God’s weapon and spell.
Light has a god-like symbolism not only in Christianity but also in all myths, religions, and cultures around the world.
This is because light is everywhere, and humans cannot live without light.
·····Then why did he suddenly give a lengthy speech about light?
It’s none other than because I want to brag a little.
After studying the properties of light for the past few months, we have finally reached the realm of God.
Perhaps from the perspective of ancient people, wouldn’t I, who can manipulate electromagnetic waves at will, seem like a god?
Because I, who laid the foundation for the information age, can transmit video, voice, and text information through electromagnetic waves at a speed that rotates the Earth seven and a half times in one second.
“Master, I will return.”
“Yes.”
The sea route to the Kingdom of Entica.
I said that as I put on my suit on the deck of the dreadnought.
Before the war began, he said he would return after serving as a reconnaissance plane.
Currently, I am the only one who can freely roam the sky and check all of the enemy’s movements.
“Okay then.”
-Paang!
Soon, I became Elena and the corps commander. And soared into the air, leaving Eve behind.
The faces of those people staring blankly at me suddenly turn into black dots and move far away.
It flew so high that it was difficult to reach the visible range of humans.
-Shuung!
The jet engine was started.
The air flowing in from the compressor attached to the back mixes with the fuel and burns, and the expansion force at this time turns the turbine and ejects a high-speed jet stream through the exhaust port to obtain thrust.
In just a few seconds, my body moves at a speed so fast that the dreadnought appears far away.
The feeling of liberation from the gravity holding my body to the ground causes catharsis to spread throughout my body.
Iron Man didn’t cheer during his first flight for nothing.
“Whoa!”
I tried following him.
I cheered as I saw the rapidly dispersing background and the dawning sky.
However, I froze when Eve’s voice suddenly entered my ears.
[Hey… Ed. Right now, my voice is being shared with my brother’s view.]
“······.”
···I guess I should just shut up and fly.

What is the most important factor in war?
It is information.
Isn’t there a saying in an ancient idiom that says, ‘If you keep your knowledge, you will be defeated in all battles’?
After crossing the border of the Kingdom of Entica, I gradually slowed down my flight speed and collected information about the enemy.
Where are the troops located and what strategy are they planning to use?
What is their main weapon and how are they trying to stop us? It’s all about collecting everything.
‘Just as expected’
And the Entica guys’ strategy was as expected.
We do not know whether we will attack by sea or land, so we have deployed troops on both sea and land routes of the kingdom.
‘Well, there is a portal’
And the reason they did such a distributed deployment is probably because they believe in portals.
If enemy movement is detected, whether by land or sea, we will respond through a portal that allows us to move our bodies in an instant.
But somehow, they didn’t consider my existence at all.
You saw me flying to the border of space, but you didn’t prepare at all for me.
This is so sad.
-Shooooo!
So I descended to where the enemy’s main exchange was located.
When a steel man suddenly landed on the ground from the sky, the soldiers were startled and took a alert stance.
After making a perfect superhero landing, I immediately stood up and spoke to the guys.
【Hello. Running is a very good exercise. It will train your cardiorespiratory endurance.】
“····What? “What is that?”
【It means to run hard.】
I said that and reached out to the portal exchange.
A small missile from the gauntlet. In other words, the ‘wife who left home’ stuck her head out.
Soon, my wife, who had left home, was launched into the portal.
Quaaa!
With a tremendous roar, the portal exchange shattered into pieces.
A large number of troops were stranded in the land border area.
【Welcome to Tubeok. Then I’ll leave.】
I said that and flew at a gliding pace again.
Tens of thousands of troops looked up at me with blank faces.
After lightly waving my hand, I immediately moved to the next location.
This time again, it was a strategically important location where tens of thousands of troops were gathered.
As if they had been briefed on what had happened the other day, the soldiers immediately took up a fighting stance and rushed at me.
“Kill me!!! “Edgar Fix!”
【Oh my. You already heard the news.】
“Waaa!!”
【I’m just a running ambassador… I hate you!!】
Entika doesn’t know my good intention to improve cardiorespiratory endurance.
I swung the laser cutter in all directions at their attitude that hurt my heart.
Then their legs started to become incontinent, and then, Pushu! Blood spurted out like a fountain and everyone collapsed.
The soldiers screamed.
“Kaaa! Haaah!!!”
【Hmm. In particular, only the leg was amputated. If you put it together quickly, it will be fine.】
The legs of the soldiers were cut very cleanly.
In particular, they ended up cutting off legs without killing anyone.
In the future, if the Kingdom of Entica is subjugated, they may also become a force for humanity.
-Kwaaa!
I eventually blew up the exchange before additional reinforcements arrived.
Then, various magic tricks and cold weapons were thrown at me at the reinforcements that arrived late…
-Shuung!
I immediately jumped into the sky.
You could fight them if you wanted to, but wouldn’t it be more submissive to just blow up the target and run away?
Originally, men tend to lose their temper when they start fighting, whether it is a war or a game.
[Woah! Ed. It was perfect.]
At that time, Elena’s voice penetrated my eardrums.
After the wo-hu incident, whenever they call me, they preface it with wo-hu, and it looks like they will continue to be teased for the time being.

【····Have you landed?】
[Yes. Everything goes according to your plan.]
My operation to liberate the Kingdom of Entica from the devil religion.
The first step of the operation is to divide the troops.
In other words, it means cutting off support for troops stationed in the border area in preparation for a land invasion.
If you destroy the portal, they will literally have to jump in.
And by the time they run and arrive at the capital of the kingdom, it is already enough time for them to be occupied by the imperial army that has successfully landed.
The landing location of the imperial army is the Brentari Coast, close to the capital of the Kingdom of Entica.
【What is the situation?】
[We are overwhelming. At this rate, I think it would be possible to capture the capital within 3 hours.]
【It looks like he’s still hiding his power. Perhaps demonized troops will appear soon.】
[Yes. Don’t worry, I told everyone about that. Above all, there is me, right?]
【Kkkkk. Yes. But as long as they keep it hidden, there will be a solution. Deciding to go to war against the empire means you have something to believe in. I’ll take a look.】
[Yes. Please take care of me.]
-Beep.
After confirming the information Elena needed, I cut off communication.
Now that the imperial army has successfully landed, it is time to find the enemy’s hidden target.
What kind of strategy is Gyro hiding in preparation for this war?
‘····It might be related to the Satanic Cult.’
And the target is most likely related to the devil religion.
He doesn’t have any skills, extraordinary brains, or groundbreaking strategies.
This is true just by looking at the tactics and strategies being deployed exactly as I expected.
I couldn’t think of any specific strategy to prepare for an invasion, so I prepared this ordinary strategy.
Because of this, half of the defenders were tied up in the border area.
-Shuung!
I flew through the sky again.
However, this time we did not observe the ground from a typical view.
I switched to the ‘perspective mode’, which was recently developed through research on light, and looked into various places on the ground.
‘I found it.’
Perspective mode.
In this way, the perspective mode allows you to pass through walls and look inside them.
It allows you to penetrate into the wall and look inside, ignoring the basic nature of light reflection.
However, in general, light cannot pass through densely packed objects.
The reason objects are visible to our eyes is because light is reflected by the object and enters the pupil, so it is impossible for light to pass through the object as is.
But that is only when limited to light called ‘visible light’.
Electromagnetic waves that are invisible to our eyes can pass through walls.
It is thanks to the properties of electromagnetic waves that it is possible to do various communication activities, such as watching TV and using a cell phone, even if you live underground.
So I mixed electromagnetic waves with a magic trick.
In the first place, just as the ‘image transmission magic sphere’ exists in this world, mana also has the nature of light, making it possible to mix electromagnetic waves with mana containing magic information.
-Phew! Phew! Phew!
So I attached a small receiver to the main building.
Although it uses a lot of mana, it scatters electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency in all directions so that the receiver attached to the building receives the electromagnetic waves.
Soon, the receiver that received my electromagnetic waves penetrated the inside of the building to obtain image information, and then fired the electromagnetic waves back at me.
So, the receiver mounted on my helmet received the electromagnetic waves and then analyzed the electromagnetic waves with a decoder to generate image information.
The image that penetrated the inside of the building was sent to me.
This is thanks to the combination of modern technology and magical engineering.
‘They’re doing something interesting.’
And as a result, I was able to obtain valuable information.
They’re preparing such a fun party without me. I’m so sad that I can’t stand it.
-Shuung!
It’s time to go for a personality test.
