Episode 133 Tyrant (3)
“then… … Are we going to keep holding on like this? “Those infectious agents, I don’t know how many more of them, will attack until they all die.”
“It’s so inefficient.”
Raon asked just in case, but Lucy shook her head.
It is certainly true that you can win just by holding on like this. The fortification of the nest has already been completed and sufficient information on the enemy has been collected.
Lucy, who could obtain nutrients in various ways by defending herself like this and continuing the war of attrition, was much more advantageous than the infectious agents whose only means was predation.
But Lucy did not adopt that strategy because it took too long. Instead, he planned a way to take the initiative himself and snipe at other corrupted World Trees.
“Raon, the expeditionary force led by you is sniping at the corrupted World Trees. We maintain a method of eliminating them by sealing their power and channeling their energy output, as we have already done.”
“I knew it.”
Lucy introduced Island Betta, made from the nutrients she had saved from this nest where troops are constantly being drawn out.
The Beta is slightly smaller than the original Alpine, but its defense power is stronger.
Raon sighed softly, anticipating Lucy’s desire to see a more effective fight rather than remain still.
“The moment they let down their guard, unaware of how their own people died, we swoop in and eliminate them.”
“Then sunlight will return to that land, and the land they can live on will become smaller.”
Raon, who paid no attention to Lucy’s strategy, placed his own body on Island Beta’s body.
What Lucy is aiming for is a kind of land grab.
In this way, the intention is to move a small army to kill the corrupted world trees one by one, to use them to open holes in this world covered with dark clouds, and to use those holes as the power of the Demon King’s army.
Just as Lucy had originally planned, the Demon Lord’s army continues to proliferate like cancer cells. The infected entities did not respond properly to the devil’s army’s tactics of trying to devour the world in the same way as themselves.
“If they don’t take special measures, it won’t be long before our allies’ nests will cover this world with the sunlight.”
Lucy, who began secretly crossing the sky with a small number of troops, glanced at the ground crowded with enemies and smiled faintly.
“It looks like there is no way.”
It didn’t take very long to move like that. However, the second corrupted World Tree seemed to have not even received the information, and was only concentrating on pouring its soldiers into the Demon King’s nest without even erecting a fog barrier as a defensive zone.
It was only when Lucy got close that she began to wriggle in surprise and hurriedly prepare for defense.
“If that happens, it’s already too late.”
Raon sighed when he saw that. A hastily prepared countermeasure without prior knowledge cannot stop Lucy, who has already killed one corrupted World Tree.
In fact, after declaring war with a single powerful light cannon, Lucy rushed towards the fallen World Tree without slowing down at all.
“Extinction to the lazy species without development.”
Lucy hurriedly blocked the crowd of enemies with magic and landed Raon. However, even as the new ruler who presented the challenge came up to his chin and prepared for the final blow, the existing ruler, the Fallen World Tree, only struggled and failed to attempt a meaningful counterattack.
This is because they failed to receive detailed information from the first fallen World Tree, who has already died.
Lucy knew that they were not as completely connected as she was and had already predicted the success of the operation.
“It won’t take long.”
Lucy was already calculating her next plan as she watched the Corrupted World Tree explode from her blow and begin to slowly burn, as well as the parasitic larva inside it.
If you continue to expand your land by occupying nearby fallen world trees one by one, you will soon be able to eat up all the land above a certain size, so even if there is no sunlight, you will not be able to stop the rapid increase in the size of the Demon King’s army. can not do it.
If he were to occupy all of this land and project the enormous number of his soldiers gushing out from here onto the mainland, the Demon King’s army would literally be able to push the land away without the slightest resistance.

“How is it. “The power of the so-called magic gun, recently invented in Korea.”
“Is there a need to evaluate? “It’s a miracle that even an ordinary military can destroy a damn energy shield.”
“Once mass production begins, awakened people will no longer be deployed to small-scale gates or dungeons. Instead, it will go to places where it is needed more.”
“Yeah, that should be it… … .”
Director Nelson nodded blankly at the researcher’s words. It looks like he is preoccupied with something else.
If you weren’t interested, you wouldn’t know, but anyone who saw him often would be able to tell that he wasn’t normal.
“What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean work?”
“Isn’t your mind in a completely different place than usual?”
And one of the people he frequently encountered was Liam.
Liam, who was looking at new weapons that used magic codes together, sensed a sense of strangeness in Nelson’s actions, smiled and opened his mouth first.
“I can’t deny it.”
Nelson smiled bitterly and nodded, confirming that Liam’s intuition was correct. Although I can’t tell Liam why.
‘How on earth did this happen…? … . Nuclear bombs are less effective than you think. However, you can’t have them fire several shots in succession.’
His concerns arose from meeting Marisa before coming here. The president provided weapons with the intention of ending the situation as quickly as possible, but the effect did not meet expectations.
Even after being hit by a nuclear bomb, the Union did not divide too much or fall into fear.
Evelia and other members of the church demanded more support, saying that it would be effective to show them a series of hot tastes, but Nelson, who had to report this directly to the president, felt like he was dying.
Since nuclear bombs are now being actively used in reality, we cannot continue to invest resources in a world where most people do not even know about its existence.
However, there were definitely things I could gain from there, so I couldn’t let go and my worries were only deepening.
“As we attempted to attack this time and occupied several locations, a new function was opened.”
It was then that Marisa contacted him.
Nelson, surprised to hear that it was a new feature, hurriedly finished his schedule for the day and ran to Marisa.
“It’s a dispatch function, is that true?”
“yes. Until now, only a few people from that world could come here to exchange goods. But now we can send people from this world there too.”
The identity of the new function that Marisa revealed was quite shocking.
That is, the ability to send people from here on Earth to the world inside that cell phone.
You may think that sending just a few people will make a difference, but this was an era filled with superhumans who could do many things on their own.
‘Dispatch of domestic awakened people to help the religious denomination? But no matter how much I explain, it’s obvious that I’ll feel rejected fighting with the same person. But there are also monsters called demons among our enemies.’
Nelson’s head spun rapidly.
It is true that it is questionable whether sending a few people can achieve results that even a nuclear bomb could not achieve.
However, he thought that for those who firmly believed that Marisa was a goddess, sending a person directly might be more effective than such technology or objects.

“It’s Evelia! “A witch has appeared!”
“They will definitely try to drop that bomb. “Prepare the freezing magic!”
This is Liber, one of the main cities of the Allied forces. They were watching the sky and were very confused when Evelia appeared, but they began to move according to the manual.
They must band together and restrain her from going on a rampage, while not hastily using magic and waiting for her to throw the nuclear warhead in her hand.
If she threw a nuclear warhead, she would completely freeze it with freezing magic before it arrived, making it inoperable.
‘The response is too fast. This is by no means a normal reaction. Could it be that the information was leaked?’
Evelia clicked her tongue and failed to throw the warhead.
At the same time, he doubted the Union’s response. Their calm and quick response was as if they already knew about the nuclear bomb.
She suspected that the information had been leaked, but quickly shook her head.
Even I don’t know what exactly this bomb is. Even if there were insiders, it makes no sense for them to know this much detail.
“Just attack. Since they are so prepared, they cannot use referees. However, the moment that preparation is broken, you can throw it again as much as you want.”
Evelia first faced off and gave the order to attack the waiting allies.
If our troops, including ourselves, attack and shake up nearby allied forces, there will definitely be a loophole in the defense of the city that must support it, and the intention was to quickly drop bombs to take advantage of that gap.
“Ivelia!”
However, her plan did not go so smoothly either.
With her superhuman hearing, she heard someone who had appeared in the city, pushing the soldiers, looked up at her as she was about to leave and screamed loudly.
“Impossible tricks will not work! Evil spirits cannot rule this land!”
“Franz, you pig.”
She laughed as she recognized the other person’s identity.
The young king of the kingdom who once received her strength and fought together against the Demon King. However, now he is angry at the cult that invaded his territory and has come all the way here to deal with her directly.
‘A new method is needed.’
However, Evelia felt that a method other than laughing at him was needed.
Now that most of the heroes she fought with had become enemies, Evelia lacked reliable allies. Although we are nurturing new people by giving the power of growth to the members of the church, they are still insufficient compared to the existing heroes who leveled up like crazy during the great war against the Demon King.
Above all, the roots were different. Even if they were given the power to grow, they were just farmers and country girls, and their growth was slow compared to promising knights and wizards.
Until now, Evelia had somehow been holding back the heroes by herself, but she desperately needed ‘new heroes’ to help her if she wanted to win the war instead of just holding on.
She suddenly looked down at the warhead in her hand.
The Goddess’ judgment is certainly powerful, but it is imperfect. Therefore, Evelia hoped that the goddess would give her a new miracle.
