Episode 132 Tyrant (2)
“No, this is crazy…” … .”
“what’s the matter?”
The moment I saw that, and the moment I realized what had happened. I couldn’t hold back my violent reaction. Jiyeon Lee, who was with me, was so surprised that she turned to look at me.
“no. nothing.”
I just smiled and passed it off. Because it was something that had nothing to do with Jiyeon Lee. But no matter how hard I tried to smile, my distraught feelings did not go away.
“What happened?”
[Currently being investigated.]
In the end, while Jiyeon Lee went to the bathroom for a moment, I cleaned Lucy. I had to figure out why, in the other world, there was a mushroom cloud that I could only see on screen.
[First of all, it appears to be true that a nuclear explosion occurred. A large amount of radioactive material was detected in the area. If you don’t have resistance, you can’t survive.]
“How on earth… … No, no. “I know what it is.”
I pulled out my hair and roughly organized my thoughts.
Actually, it wasn’t that difficult to deduce. Isn’t the power that has joined hands with the church one of the countries on this planet that possesses as many nuclear weapons as one can count on one hand?
If they supported nuclear weapons, there was a good chance that the church would use them to attack the Allied fortified city.
“Why is this happening all of a sudden? “The reason why I’m doing this.”
[You can assume that it is because they are frustrated with their current situation, but there is evidence to add facts to that guess.]
That was when Lucy changed the screen. There were more than one place that was urgent right now, and the place Lucy showed me was none other than the entrance to the Great Forest.
People who appeared to have been dispatched by the church approached there and were saying something to Lucy’s soldier in the form of an elf.
“This is a notice and an earnest request. If you do not follow the Goddess, this great forest will also be judged by her and be engulfed in a huge fire all at once.”
“Your momentum has improved?”
Just a few days ago, those who had acted as if they would give up their liver and gallbladder to join them, but when they saw the power of the nuclear bomb, they immediately changed their attitude and began to use coercion.
It was so absurd that I almost burst out laughing.
[We are currently considering a response. The strategy of buying time by maintaining the balance between denominations and unions is faltering.]
“It’s a little annoying.”
I had no idea that they would come out so sincerely, even supporting nuclear bombs. You can easily understand why this is the case just by looking at the news, where only negative news comes out day after day, but it is because they are in a competitive position anyway.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. They have received a powerful force from outside that will break the balance. It’s as if you are trying to occupy Ravizda and pour the nutrients you used there into here. So, to balance things out, we have to go the other way.”
[That’s right. We must support the coalition so that they are not unnecessarily surprised by nuclear weapons and can respond properly.]
Lucy agreed with me. It was the moment when the elves of the Great Forest gave up on weighing between the church and the union and completely leaned toward the union.
“As expected, what’s going on?”
“Rather than saying what’s going on, have you heard anything recently?”
When Jiyeon Lee returned to her seat and tilted her head while looking at my frozen face, I naturally asked her if she had heard anything.
Because she was someone who was in a position to hear things that I couldn’t hear.
“Nothing in particular happened. I haven’t heard anything. “I’m just busy with the magic code.”
“that… … “I can’t help it.”
She had no way of knowing that a nuclear bomb was exploding in another world right now, so she widened her eyes as if there was nothing wrong.
As she said, she is currently busy with magic code work. This is because he suddenly became an authority on this new technology.
“The prototype has already passed the test. “It looks good to me, but the researchers said it would be a revolution.”
She muttered while watching a video. As we told you in advance, it is a weapon similar to an anti-tank missile equipped with a computer that operates by injecting magic code.
This new weapon, which is powered entirely by one activated dungeon core, shoots out a powerful flaming bullet forward when activated.
The visible firepower is actually not that strong, but those flame bullets are definitely ‘magic’. It is a magic tool that uses the Dungeon Core as its power source, a computer does the calculations, and humans can shoot magic with just one finger.
That was the identity of that new weapon.
“If we mass produce it and invest more power to increase its firepower, we can deal with special species with magical power even without awakeners.”
“If that technology becomes widespread, we will be able to take a breather.”
I gave this magic code a positive review for the fact that it is only effective against non-human invasive species and is a technology that can save people, and I nodded when she said I liked it.
Of course, even if we were able to find some leeway due to the development of this technology, it seemed unlikely that they, who had joined hands with the religious order, would withdraw from it. In the end, this meant that it was a separate problem, so it seemed better to give up any thoughts of trying to do well with the work here.
[First, I will inform the coalition of the information about the nuclear bomb and inform them that it is not the judgment of the goddess as the church is inciting.]
Lucy reported the behavior to me by text.
In fact, they would be the ones who would benefit if we didn’t fight. Having already seen Lucy’s power, I didn’t think they could beat her no matter how many times they used nuclear weapons.

“They say it’s God’s judgment. Literally a judge. “In a split second, a city whose fortifications were completed had numerous troops evaporating.”
“Isn’t it really impossible to go against the will of the goddess at this point!?”
As the rumor spread, confusion was bound to follow. In any case, it is true that the entire city of Nox has evaporated, and the rumor that it was the judgment of an angry goddess that created it spread great anxiety within the Allied Forces. This was the response the church wanted.
“So everyone strengthens their vigilance. “The number of residents who hear rumors may increase and leave to join the church.”
“Yes, leader. But if the rumors are true, wouldn’t it be unbearable? Nox was a well-prepared fortress as a frontline city. “We cannot bear the judgment that evaporates such places in one blow.”
It was the same here with Chris, Yuria, and Naan.
The knight commander in charge of defending the city ordered his subordinates to be on stricter alert, but even the knights were immediately shaken.
“Huh, even if that’s the case, it can’t be helped. “We do our duty.”
The leader winced and bit his lip. He also thought the same thing, but he had to do his job first.
“But, Captain. “The elf now says he has something to say about the goddess’ judgment!”
It was at that time that Naan, who received Lucy’s instructions, came to the knights’ meeting hall in search of the nearest superior, the knight commander, to convey his voice.
“What on earth do you mean? “What do elves know about the goddess’ judgment?”
“Now they are threatening us by citing that judgment. “The Presbyterian Church, angered by this, ordered to provide information to the Coalition.”
The leader who met Na-an opened his mouth first as if he could not understand, but Na-an shook his head with a calm face.
“They say it’s God’s judgment, but in reality it’s just a bomb.”
Na-an gave me some brief information about nuclear weapons. There was no need to explain in detail, it was enough to just make people aware that it was not the power of God that could not be resisted.
“You can block or block it by using magic power to attack its weak point. “What they want is for the Union to fall into fear, divide, and destroy itself. Please convey this to the higher-ups and prevent that.”
“Well, then are the elves with us?”
“Maybe so.”
The leader, whose eyes were wide in surprise, jumped up from his seat. I finally got an answer from Naan.
A formal alliance with the elves is indeed big news, comparable to the judgment of God.
The knight leader abandoned any remaining meetings and hurriedly reported this to his superiors.
“Are we really going to fight together? Ha, but it is true that even if it is not a real referee, its power is great.”
“I assure you, they will not be able to overuse it easily. “If we don’t fall prey to their tricks, we can win the war of attrition.”
Thankfully, the meeting was over, and Chris stood up from among the panicked knights and went to Naan and asked.
Naan smiled bitterly and just recited facts that she actually didn’t know much about. These were all instructions from Lucy.
“Don’t worry too much, Chris. “We will not lose this war.”
“It would be nice if that were the case, but it is the power of the goddess and the things that come out are so extraordinary that we cannot let our guard down.”
“You might think so.”
Yuria, who was nearby, said something and smiled meaningfully.
Chris, who did not know exactly what ‘we’ Yuria was referring to, thought that his sister was just viewing the situation optimistically, but Yuria was already confident that the Demon King’s army would win.
“Strengthen the security further!”
“Search your luggage thoroughly! Set up detection magic. “If they can’t move the bomb, they won’t be able to set it off!”
Of course, it was not an unfounded confidence. The information about nuclear weapons that had already spread to the upper Allied Forces through Naan’s report spread to all directions, forcing them to implement their own countermeasures.
At this point, it was the church, or rather the people behind the church, who were embarrassed.
They reacted in disbelief and were devastated when the coalition found out about nuclear weapons accurately, as if they had known about them in advance.

“You look very busy.”
“It was just a small incident. In the end, they too struggle to win.”
This is a different world, where denominations and alliances are waging war using all kinds of tactics. Lucy, who was already fighting another war in this world connected through the Great Forest, shook her head at Raon’s words.
Considering only the computing power consumed, what happened on the mainland was really just a small incident. The war in the demon world had almost stopped, and Lucy was currently consuming almost all of her computing power right here.
“It’s night. “They’re coming again.”
“The number of objects removed so far is 44,267,882.”
They watched as the light disappeared from the sky between the dark clouds, as if there had been a hole. One corrupted world tree was removed and light returned to the area, but the sun never rose.
“No matter how profitable this is, it’s a war of attrition, but it’s still too much.”
Raon clicked his tongue as he raised his weapon. Lucy, who had made the entire sun-drenched area her nest, now had to wage a large-scale war against infectious agents coming from all directions every day.
A terrible war of attrition where there is just death and killing. But Lucy had already finished calculating.

Right now, he’s just blocking it, but if he continues like this, no matter how long it takes, he will eventually become the ultimate winner.
