Episode 170 Summary (10)
Honestly, it doesn’t mean much. Because I decided to watch them instead of attacking them with all my might. To Lucy, that small piece of land wasn’t of much value.
No matter what resistance those who survived there put up, it was ultimately just a stimulant that provided fresh stimulation.
“It’s a little shocking, but is there really a need to go? “I’m busy with work here.”
I smiled awkwardly and looked around at Jiyeon Lee, who told me the news. Although it is a stimulant, the war just keeps repeating itself for that stimulus.

Since she was going to fight with Lucy, I wanted to stop it. No matter how much I thought about it, the loss seemed greater than the gain.
“They said the help they got there was of great help to us. “If you look at it a little more broadly, I think it’s right to help them get out of the crisis and receive their help as well.”
The problem is that Lee Ji-yeon, who does not know the details, is interested. Even if it wasn’t her in the first place, it was planned that some of the awakened people on Earth would be dispatched additionally.
But I couldn’t bear to tell her the truth. Not only does it show how enormous Lucy is, whose growth can no longer be stopped, but it also shows that no matter how much they resist and make a major effort, it is not Lucy’s full strength.
“The president of the association won’t allow it. “Because I consider you that important.”
“That’s right. “I don’t even want to send it abroad now, so I probably won’t have the chance.”
To block her interest, I sold the name of Baek Seung-cheol, the president of the association. Fortunately, Ji-yeon Lee didn’t show any more interest.
Given her personality, if she truly wanted to go, she would have gone.
“It’s not another country, it’s another world… … “It’s also a bit difficult.”
“That’s true, but I just didn’t want to fall. “If you go there, you have to fall.”
However, her answer was something I hadn’t expected, so I chuckled. In this case, did our feelings help each other?
But even though I knew her heart, I couldn’t approach it. How would she react if she knew my secret?
If a person who has made it his mission to protect people learns that the devil, who is devouring countless lives and destroying the world, is a being he believes in and follows.
[If their power is going to be expanded, I will have to modify my calculations a bit and deal with them more seriously.]
Perhaps because Lucy sent me a report right after, I kept thinking about this. He meant that if Earth sent additional support, he would not be pushed back and would increase his ability to deal with the enemy.

[Currently in the cleanup phase. Baal, the center of the mutants, was killed, and the key host, the Emperor, was also killed. However, they have already spread throughout the continent, and most forces were unable to withstand and collapsed.]
Lucy, who easily overpowered Baal’s last struggle, no longer hid her identity and power. The Demon King’s army and nest are quickly covering the continent.
Thanks to Baal’s plan to create a mutant army, the existing powers that were considered kingdoms suddenly became weak and could not endure, and Lucy took advantage of the gap and quickly expanded her territory.
‘Quick.’
Before my eyes, I saw the majestic sight Lucy was proud to display. Black mushrooms fill the entire wide expanse of land. Those mushrooms that appeared after all the once green mountains and rivers were destroyed are the core of the Demon King’s energy supply system, replacing sunlight with nutrients.
There are also sparse black trees rising high into the sky. The giant tentacled tree, which discovered and analyzed the genetic information of the giant caterpillar that was parasitic on the fallen World Tree, puts down roots, absorbs all the nutrients in the ground, and turns it into dead ground.
And of course, those nutrients are supplied to the Demon King’s army. After all, it was none of the devil’s business to know about other creatures.
This entire process began as soon as the war began.
[There are still some who are rebelling, but even they cannot hold out for long.]
Lucy, who attacked both mutants and locals, moved her soldiers spread across the continent to push the locals, who were already in danger due to the rampage of mutants, to one side.
The direction it was driven in was the western edge of the continent. It was the headquarters of the Church of Light, a group that rapidly expanded its power and divided the world for a time.
Of course, they will resist and struggle to protect their land and power, but as the scale of the war grows, Lucy becomes stronger.
Only in small-scale fights can they make quick and accurate decisions, but if it becomes a continental-scale war involving millions or tens of millions of residents, the difference between them and central control, Lucy, will increase, making it difficult to come to a consensus.
[If we succeed in driving them out, we will begin nesting the entire continent as planned. The expected nutrient production is 115% of Ravizda. Total production more than doubles.]
Lucy will literally cover the entire land with her nest. And he will fight his true enemy with the troops he produces there.
A real thing that cannot be compared to the raw mutants that run wild and run wild. I sighed softly as I looked at the scene beyond the screen.
[But there is one problem.]
“hmm? “What is that?”
[The energy balance is collapsing. This is because the source of supply has disappeared]
But it was then that Lucy reported to me that there was a problem.
“balance? “I don’t quite understand.”
[General nutrients can now be produced in abundance. But strength is different. In order to produce high-quality steel core, you need targets to absorb magic power, but as your allies win, those targets are decreasing.]
“ah.”
I thought I knew what Lucy was talking about. The cost for Lucy’s Demon King’s army to produce regular soldiers with various forms and roles is twofold.
Those nutrients are obtained by building nests, like now, to absorb light and geothermal heat, or by digesting living things.
However, in that way, you cannot create the strength necessary to create a higher species. Because the strong heart contains pure magical power.
Until now, the way Lucy had obtained that magical power was by absorbing and extracting it from objects that possessed magical power.
“Well, now that I think about it, the demons in the demon world all have some magical power anyway.”
It wasn’t much of a problem when conquering the Demon World. The reason the demons who lived there generally had strong power was because they possessed magical power, whether they knew how to use it or not.
Lucy has been waging a fierce war against the demons of the demon world and continuously extracting magical power from them. That’s why I haven’t noticed any problems so far.
However, after the war with the demon world ended and most of the demons were exterminated, Lucy now needed a new way to obtain magical power.
[Of course, there are many people on the continent who have magical powers and have trained them, but it is also a limited resource. I think this also needs to be supplemented in order for our allies to fight stronger enemies in a wider world.]
“I can’t quite get a feel for it.”
I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I can’t seem to come up with a solution.
The way I have helped Lucy so far is to send her an object that has the abilities she wants.
But I don’t yet have any memory of an invasive species that has a way to increase the production of steelhead.
“I’ll have to do some searching. “Because I don’t know everything.”
I decided I needed to do a little research. When I started working in this field with Jiyeon Lee, I studied a lot and heard a lot.
Still, I don’t know everything, so I needed to do some research. As the size of dungeons and gates grew larger and more developed, the types of new invasive species continued to increase.
[Are you going to move with Jiyeon Lee this time too?]
“Honestly, I don’t know. He’s become a more important figure recently, so I don’t think he’ll ever go out. If that happens, there is nothing we can do. “I have no choice but to move alone.”
However, it seemed impossible to move like now, using Jiyeon Lee as a shield.
As a result of me continuing to use her as a shield, she has already become a big person, and her every move has become more important.
It’s a kind of karma. Still, if she’s come this far, she’s done her part. Now I was thinking of moving instead of hiding behind her.
Just being able to bring Lucy and the Demon Lord’s army here for a short period of time gives me a lot of strength.

“Refugees keep coming. “Most of the forces have already expressed their intention to surrender and are asking for something to be accepted.”
“I never thought things would turn out like this… … .”
When Lucy was comfortably winning the war, expanding her nest, and making up for her weaknesses.
Those who became his opponents could not take their time.
In particular, the high-ranking members of the church never dreamed that the alliance they thought was their main enemy would collapse in this way, and that enemies they could not even communicate with would rapidly emerge as great evils.
“They are literally monsters. It’s on a different level from those with whom I could at least communicate. “For them, all they want to do is kill and reproduce, and more than half of the continent is already covered in their nests.”
A priest wearing fancy priestly robes muttered quietly in a sorrowful voice.
To them, the Demon King’s army was an enemy with whom they were more incompatible than the Union. Regardless of their enormous size, the Allied Forces were unable to unite even if shaken even a little and stumbled among themselves, and if necessary, it was possible to persuade them to become allies.
But the Demon Lord’s army is different. For the Demon King’s army, there is only fight and death, and the huge colony moves as one body.
Betrayal and appeasement are non-existent concepts, and there is no mercy either. No matter how high their status and status were, they were just the same organism to the Demon King’s army.
“Where is the great saint? You should also consult with him.”
“He is busy now. Not only the black iron insects but also mutants that have not been subdued yet are running rampant.”
Some people looked for Evelia, but she was not there now. Because she was someone who could turn the battlefield around by herself.
* * *
“That’s their nest, Daeseongnyeo. “It looks like it’s almost made now.”
At the time when the church’s high-ranking officials were holding a meeting and looking for Evelia, she was secretly moving with a small group of troops.
“Saint?”
“There is no reason to hesitate.”
Evelia spread her brilliant white wings and immediately stepped forward. In fact, the intention was stronger to test his own strength.
He was trying to find out how effective his power, which he had steadily developed so far, would be against the Demon King’s army of Lucy, a new disaster that had struck the continent again after the Great War.
Even the heroes who fought alongside her never attacked her alone.
‘These guys.’
However, as soon as the Demon King found her, he immediately began to respond. Flying bells flew, and light cannons shot out from the weapons in their hands.
‘Something huge.’
There is no fear or hesitation in that action. Evelia instinctively realized that the enemies she was currently facing were not simple creatures.
