Episode 141: Strange events (1)
“What if we catch Liam? As expected, are you making it like Kim Seo-yoon?”
[When I was on Earth, there was no reason to touch it first, but now it’s different. Since they attack first, it is an opportunity to create a new special species.]
I can also see Liam on the screen. Lucy was thinking of grabbing him and using him as if it were natural.
The plan is to make her like Kim Seo-yoon, who was an awakened person but became part of the Demon King’s army. Lucy, who was initially negative about the increase of new egos within the Demon King’s army, was now not particularly concerned and was actively increasing them if she felt they were useful.
I didn’t think that Liam, who was famous for his unique personality, would be as docile as Kim Seo-yoon, but that wasn’t really an obstacle for Lucy now. Because it was Lucy who brought Raon, the elf hero who already seemed stronger than him, to submission.
‘I can’t help it. I can’t help but think that Lucy becoming stronger means we become stronger.’
I remembered that Liam’s status and presence were not small in this world, but I couldn’t stop Lucy since he had crawled all the way there and become our enemy.
Earth’s heroes who traveled to another world in extreme secrecy and participated in the war will die there. I don’t know how Lucy will use him, but it doesn’t seem like she’ll send him back to Earth intact.
There was no reason to do that in the first place.
[Naan and Liam collide. The expected win rate calculated based on that data is 88%.]
Naan, who soon became a perfect executive of the Demon King’s army, and Liam, who attacked with a sword, clashed violently. Lucy calculated the win rate based on Liam’s previously obtained data, and the win rate was clearly not small.
“hmm?”
[…] … Output beyond expectations. Confirmed to be more than 150% of existing value.]
But the results were different. The moment when their swords clashed with each other. The enormous shock wave that erupted seemed enormous even to me. Even compared to the strength he showed on Earth, it was definitely stronger.
[My eyes are pushed away.]
“What do you mean it’s an elf? “Die, monster!”
As Liam shouted and increased his power, the output became even stronger.
A tremendous growth that neither I nor Lucy expected. At that moment, a question flashed through my mind as to why Liam went there.
Will he obey orders and go to another world to fight? Wouldn’t it be better to go and fight because it is beneficial to oneself?
[Adjusted expected win rate. Expected win rate 55%.]
“But is it still over 50%?”
[There has been an increase in combat power in all aspects. It does not seem that the power of growth, one of the powers of the church, has been applied to him, so this enormous growth range, which is different from that of Earth, is his natural ability.]
Lucy was not embarrassed and sent Yuria in. Among the church troops led by Liam, there was no one strong enough to block Yuria’s magic.
“These kids, they attack just like those guys.”
Liam clicked his tongue as he watched the magic being fired at him and Naan swinging his sword, aiming for the gap.
I thought I knew what he was talking about. This is the strategy frequently used by the advanced invasive species, Wizards and Mantis.
I didn’t like the way Lucy misunderstood the Demon Lord’s army as an invasive species or something, but in fact, objectively speaking, they were similar.
[I will subdue you.]
Lucy pushed Liam in earnest. Although his output was clearly superior, Yuria, who bombarded magic from afar, and Naan, who wielded a sword from close range, were assisted by Lucy and pushed him to a perfect pass without any gaps.
‘It’s definitely not enough.’
Of course, Liam also accepted it well as he had grown tremendously since coming here. Lucy tried to catch him, but he could easily run away if he wanted to.
[I will give you one of the eight paths.]
“Gotcha!”
So Lucy deliberately exposed the loophole to him. So that he can attack Naan without running away. In fact, he seized it as an opportunity and immediately plunged his sword into Naan’s chest.
“Huh!?”
And at the same time, I grabbed his arm. Anyway, the naked body that Lucy has taken control of does not feel any pain.

Liam, who was taken aback by Naan’s hand grabbing his arm without paying attention to the sword lodged in his chest, seemed to realize only then that he had fallen into a trap.
[Dharma sphere imbued with divine power]
“W-what is that?”
However, Lucy was unable to subdue him with a follow-up hit.
Sensing that he was in danger, he exploded something, emitting a golden flash, and then pushed away all the attacks from his allies and escaped.
[I was preparing in advance. As if he knew that a crisis would come to him.]
“Oh no, I missed it. Actually, that’s right. “I didn’t think he would be defeated this easily.”
It happened so suddenly that I felt somewhat lost. With Liam’s escape, the church’s forces also began to retreat.
[We will force our troops to retreat.]
It was a somewhat unfair situation, but Lucy cool-headedly took control of the unit and retreated again. What you missed is what you missed, and your only purpose is to maintain this position and keep the church in check.
[Unless the identity of our allies is revealed, this conflict is calculated to be meaningless.]
“Even the locals think it’s an elf, but he won’t be able to tell. “Still, I wonder if this incident will serve as an opportunity to return to Earth.”
I turned off the screen and checked the internet. About a famous awakened person like Liam gets an article published about once a day. It was obvious that he went there on purpose, so he must have gotten something worth it.
It appears that Liam went there and fought and achieved his greatest accomplishments. From what I heard, it was already being called a disaster, especially for the demon soldiers belonging to the Allied Forces.
However, it is unlikely that he moves like that on his own initiative. It was obvious that those who were allied with the church would have taken the lead in this matter, and that they would have gained something from sending Liam, just as they handed over the nuclear bomb.
“The mysterious awakeners who appeared a few days ago. Just in case, they were dispatched by the church. Have we already started exchanging people with each other?”
When I entered the dungeon with Lee Ji-yeon, I remembered the unidentified people who saved the awakened people in crisis.
In a situation where they were outgunned, they were brought in by the United States and easily dealt with the invasive species and rescued the awakened ones. Since only those at the scene saw them, they made a fuss about who the hell they were, but in the end, their identity, which they could not find out, became clear through this incident.
“The more time we give, the stronger their alliance will become. Exchanges are also increasing. “If people interact directly, it’s on a different level than just passing things around like guns or holy water.”
[In that case, we will proceed with the unification of the continent as soon as possible]
“… … no. “There’s no need to change your plans.”
Lucy said that if necessary, she would revise her plan and push out the church. It won’t be impossible. If Lucy immediately redirects the devotion she is putting into Ravizda to this place, the forces that have lost their strength due to fighting each other will be easily pushed out.
But I shook my head.
“The United States has a large stake in the counter-invasive species business. And part of that power definitely comes from here. Lucy Your power to interfere with Earth is not yet perfect, so I don’t think it’s right to drive them out. “Isn’t it better to keep it like this?”
What suddenly occurred to me was the relationship between the current Earth and invasive species.
The stronger we become, the stronger they become, and if we can deal with them moderately like those who whip us endlessly, they will become stronger based on their growth and exchanges here, and they will use that stronger power to fight against invasive species and serve the Earth. .
In other words, from our perspective, we are using the enemy for the enemy. Lucy agreed, saying that my opinion was correct from the perspective of the Earth.
[However, if you meet Liam again, there is no reason to let him go. Rather, catching him and eliminating him could be a whipping that burns their fighting spirit.]
“I know that.”
Of course, this applies to the entire denomination. Lucy didn’t say that she would be ruined just because Liam was missing, so Lucy expressed her subtle anger towards Liam, who caught her weak point and ran away.
[Instead, we will focus more on Ravizda, which is undergoing conquest and clearing operations. Currently 35% complete. This figure is more than 5 days faster than expected.]
The screen has changed. The battlefield where thousands of people on both sides were gathered together and fighting each other just now has unfolded into a battlefield that looks cute.
A literal hell where huge troops, tens of millions, or more broadly, billions of units, fight fiercely across a huge area without any time to rest.
However, the Demon King’s army led by Lucy trampled on their opponents without the slightest hesitation even in that hell.

“Are you saying that the power of the elves is that much?”
“okay. No, honestly, I don’t know about strength. If it were a simple comparison of strength, I might have won. But the coordinated attack they launched was like a monster. The monsters I fought. “You know what I mean?”
“I roughly understand.”
“I never heard of elves being like that.”
Liam clicked his tongue at the sight of Evelia tilting her head. Although I escaped by running away, the lingering effects of the battle still lingered.
“We don’t know for sure what the elves are or how they wage war. “Because they were hermits who were confined to the forest even during the Great War.”
Evelia did not understand why Liam reacted so strongly. Because I had no experience fighting syringomyoma.
[She’s ignorant and strong, she’s a stupid woman. There is no reason to persuade.]
‘Why do I do this when I see a saint?’
Liam looked at that and snorted at the constellation’s voice echoing in his head.
Usually, he was quiet, but especially when he talked to Evelia, he grabbed one word at a time and grumbled like this.
“I think if you were stronger and faster than me, you could easily drive them out.”
“I would like to, but if I show up in the north where the elves are, the central and southern front lines will be pushed back immediately. “It’s also the reason why I can’t leave the central region.”
“It looks like our manpower is lacking compared to our enemies.”
Liam, who had hinted at her about attacking the elves, sighed upon hearing her answer.
In reality, the denomination was short on manpower. In particular, there was a lack of strong players who could compete with the hero class. The reason Evelia couldn’t leave the center was to suppress the opposing team’s heroes.
If the cooperation of the Allied Forces had been a little closer, with even the demons participating in the alliance, and if the heroes had taken the initiative a little more, the Church would have collapsed in no time.
“I can talk about it. “Please send more people like me.”
“Is that true?”
At that time, Liam, who had been thinking for a while, proposed to Evelia first.
He said he could bring more people like him here to fight.
[That’s an interesting idea.]
In fact, his constellation, who would be the subject of the plan, just giggled as if talking about something else.
