Episode 126: Deception and Domination (6)
“It won’t be difficult. Do you see this cell phone? “All we do is use the computing power of this phone to trigger the injected code.”
“I don’t understand at all. “I’m just watching.”
“Then just watch for now. As soon as you put power into this phone, the magic happens.”
Research facility in the company’s basement. In this place where the power of awakened people is usually measured or research is conducted, Lee Ji-yeon demonstrated magic in front of Baek Seung-cheol.
Soon, the golden light she created flowed into the cell phone in her hand. The future plan is to use the activated dungeon core as power, but for now, she is using her own magic as power.
“her.”
And at the same time, magic appeared and exploded. The hot fireball splitting the air flew to the opposite wall and exploded, scattering heat and shock waves around the area.
At first glance, it may be as powerful as a grenade. However, the real value of this magic is that it has a power that neither a grenade nor a nuclear bomb possesses.
“You can destroy the defenses of an invasive species?”
“You can break it. “Because it converts magic power into power and shoots out magic power.”
Jiyeon Lee continued her explanation steadily as I instructed. At first, Baek Seung-cheol was so shocked that he couldn’t even care about anything else.
Why have our troops been pushed back by the enemies so far? This was due to the emergence of special individuals who used the unknown power of magic to suppress firepower, and advanced species who used it to the extreme.
Thanks to this, the armies of each country had to fight alongside the awakened ones. The power of the awakened people also came from magical power, and it was a means to fight against enemies.
So, if this ‘magic code’ is used properly, humanity will have the power to deliver a big blow to its enemies.
“Is it enough in return?”
“Enough, enough. of course!”
He nodded repeatedly at her words. It seems like he still can’t believe that his mouth is open.
“It doesn’t matter how much I benefit from this. But it must be distributed smoothly all over the world, right? “Anyway, fighting between people is inefficient, so there’s no excuse.”
“Ask to reveal it to everyone? It’s not easy. “Because we have to consider the national interest.”
“National interest, nation, ideology, ideology, those things are of no use to those monsters.”
He hesitated at Jiyeon Lee’s requirements, but she stopped laughing and shook her head with a serious face.
“That’s my only condition. To end this raid successfully, and to make this new technology beneficial to all of humanity. “If you keep them, I will be able to continue teaching you spells in the future.”
Anyway, she was the one. Since he has declared that he will solve various magic codes at will, other people have no choice. I had no choice but to please her and quietly wait for the pieces to fall.
“I’ll listen to everything! So, let’s talk about this in detail.”
In the end, Baek Seung-cheol quickly raised the white flag and declared that he would listen to the whole story. Less than an hour later, she was dragged into the association president’s office, finished all negotiations, and came out.
After leaving him sitting blankly as if he had been burned white, she smiled at me as if it meant that everything had gone well.

“I’m sorry for always giving you trouble like this.”
“Because it’s not a simple matter. And in the end, it’s for everyone’s benefit. “I don’t mind.”
This time, I spoke with a wry smile to Lee Ji-yeon, who acted as a face-to-face lady on my behalf, and she shook her head, saying it was okay. Rather than simply covering up what happened to me, I thought that the magic code that I had decided to solve through this incident would ultimately be for the good of this world and its people.
“In the end, if we fight among ourselves, it will really be ruinous. But what if, even after doing this, they show their presumptuous ambition?”
“There’s nothing we can do about it then.”
If you haven’t learned anything from this incident, I can’t guarantee what will happen after that. It’s not I who’s the problem, but my artificial intelligence, which is just looking for an opportunity, may really erase them from the face of the earth.
If that happens, I get tired too. I just hope that nothing like that happens.
“There is nothing to do now. “Until two days ago, I was frustrated because I wanted to get to work, but not anymore.”
“When you rest, you should rest.”
Although I had experienced something big, I felt like I was able to handle it quite well, perhaps because I had a lot to deal with.
Moreover, perhaps because the limit had been lifted, Jiyeon Lee no longer had to control or hide her attitude and emotions.
“I know. That I won’t stop fighting. That one day I will die on the battlefield. So until then, I decided to live a little more selfishly.”
She laughed and told the scary story. Well, because I had this kind of personality, I would have been able to endure and fight until now. In fact, there was a high probability that what she said would happen.
As long as she fights like she does now, she will lose at some point. And there was a high probability that that defeat would take her life.
However, there is something that even she does not know as she has already sealed her fate and burns her life for that day, and I will not let that happen.
The power to twist even fate. Because I can borrow that power.

“They came out of the fog in response to our troops’ provocation. watching? A response is needed.”
When the two men and women were together, Lucy, who had been forcibly taken away again, did not respond to Raon’s cries for a moment. Because each and every conversation between Lee Ji-yeon and Chang-hyeon, which she saw and heard through Nano and Omega, was very annoying and bothersome to Lucy.
[I’m watching. Now that we know that they can come out of that special-looking fog, we are carrying out a capture operation to collect samples.]
Of course, I wasn’t completely distracted. I just waited for the right time.
Lucy looked through the soldiers’ eyes at the monsters chasing the small force she had sent.
The monsters, which must have originally been native creatures of this world, have their entire bodies deformed and twisted into extremely hideous and grotesque forms.
In particular, the bipedal monsters that made up the majority were nearly 2 meters tall, but by looking at the remaining body parts, such as their skin color and face, you could tell what they were like at one time.
“They are definitely dark elves. “Why on earth did they, who were supposed to be the masters of this world, end up like that?”
[Winning a competition once does not mean you will reign as a winner forever. In the end, if you don’t continue to grow and evolve, you will only be defeated and eliminated.]
Raon was depressed at the sight of the dark elves who had become rampaging monsters without reason or ego, growing an extra head or having four arms, etc., while Lucy laughed.
[It doesn’t matter what the story was. The only thing that matters is data for the present and the future.]
Lucy blindly lured the monsters chasing her soldiers into a trap she had prepared in advance.
The twisted monsters, who had almost no reason, entered the place without the slightest suspicion, chasing the fleeing Demon King’s army, and Lucy ordered the soldiers they had ambushed to open fire.
[Fire the magic cannon.]
Gamma types, which have a power source built into their bodies and can manipulate magical power, simultaneously fire a barrage from the ray cannons in their hands.
Through this attack, which was more effective than magic in some ways, Lucy neutralized them by sniping them from a distance where their infection power could not be exerted.
“This is absolutely disgusting.”
Raon was depressed at the sight of the monsters twitching, with only their bodies remaining even after their limbs had been cut off. A scene created by countless cells literally running wild using life itself as fuel.
However, Lucy, who picked up the head that had been cut off and was trying to bite it, wiggling her cracked jaw, looked at it with interest.
“I saw how they ate their food. How on earth are you going to deal with these horrible monsters? “In my opinion, these are monsters that should not exist.”

[Of course, you may think so, but if you think like you, you can’t make progress. If you have the will to eat and learn from anything, whether it is bizarre, terrible, or beautiful, you can make it your own.]
Lucy, who refuted Raon’s words, picked up her still twitching head and headed to the prepared location.
Mucus accumulated in a small pit. There are countless nano particles in it. Lucy dropped the head she had picked up on the omnipotent cells that could change into any form in the Demon King’s database.
“Analyze and find. “As long as it is a living creature, it cannot escape its power, so there must be a way to resist this deadly infectious power.”
Lucy expanded her consciousness once more. This time, rather than drawing a large picture like before, the war is fought in a microscopic world that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
[indeed. They are monsters specializing in cell warfare. The immune system of most living organisms cannot fight it. A new system is needed.]
Lucy sighed as she saw the fierce battle taking place in this small world.
The infectious bacteria began to eat the Nanos of the Demon King’s army, which had an overwhelming number compared to them, and began to multiply explosively, conversely increasing their size.
[Data collection begins.]
In that situation, Lucy revealed the means she had prepared one by one to extract data about these unknown infectious bacteria.
The first thing to start with was to arm the nanos to attack the infectious germs. The nanos then mutated and were equipped with weapons called tentacles and began indiscriminately attacking the infectious germs.
[Simply infecting… … no]
However, the enemy’s counterattack after that exceeded Lucy’s expectations.
When the nanos stretched out their tentacles to counterattack their attack, showing explosive infectious power, the infectious bacteria also mutated themselves.
It also appeared to be equipped with tentacles imitating nanos. Lucy was taken aback by the incredible speed. Until now, I have never seen an enemy stronger than myself at learning and imitating something.
[The next step is to experiment with toxins.]
Lucy immediately took the war to the next stage. Arming them with tentacles was overlooked, so they now attempted to kill enemy cells with a strong biological toxin created by combining the data they had accumulated.
[Enemies respond.]
But even this the enemies overcame. By rapidly repeating division and death, it built up resistance and succeeded in withstanding Lucy’s attack.
[It is impossible to overwhelm the infection power. Turning to suppression.]
Lucy acknowledged her inferiority and changed tactics. The basis for this was that it was judged that even if it was difficult to win, it was possible to hold on and waste time.
