006. reunion (2)
Since mankind rose to the top of the food chain, there hasn’t been a single day on the planet that hasn’t been fought. The history of mankind is the history of war, and thanks to this, humans have both tremendous resistance and proficiency in war.
A diabolical race that accumulates information and develops technology while contemplating how to kill enemies more efficiently and save allies, and those who grow stronger as they repeat failures were human beings living on Earth.
The manager, who had suffered three previous failures, used information from repeated failures to make changes ahead of the forthcoming fourth war.
The Administrator, who had been using [Time Axis Regression] as the starting point of the war so far, decided to advance the return point by 7 years even at the risk of weakening his godhead.
It is to throw away the winning number.
The manager, who judged that even this was not enough preparation, appointed ‘all players’ who were endowed with the power of regression as his [apostles] and began assigning them direct tasks.
[You have been appointed an apostle.]
It is a rule that administrators do not intervene excessively in the affairs of the world.
Those who possessed [God] and were granted their own dimensional territory had a line they had to keep in exchange for their power. The most active means of intervention were only to put a few limbs into the world through [Summon a Hero] or [Appoint an Apostle].
The act of turning the time axis around and appointing a large number of apostles committed by the Earth Administrator were excessive interventions that could lead to sanctions and deprivation of [Godhead].
However, the district manager who had been defeated by the demon king three times was in a very good condition. When other managers around him witnessed his anger, they couldn’t even shout, let alone punish him for excessive intervention.
The district manager had a reputation for being a madman who should never be touched on this floor.
The madman began to reveal his true colors.
[The administrator assigns a mission to his apostle.]
★ Mission description
“The apostles of the proud manager who fought for the sake of mankind. You are irreplaceable and valuable talents to prepare for the war against the demon lord.
Apostles. Clean up all the children that the primordial demon ‘Lilith’ has sown on the earth. The moment the war breaks out, they unconditionally stick to the devil’s side.
그 새끼들은 수천 년 동안 돈과 인맥을 끌어모은 빌어먹을 새끼들입니다. The moment they betray, mankind’s power will be cut in half. fuck!!!
… … be sick
Sleep, guys? Let’s start this episode by killing off the gray molecule bastards that Lilith left behind.”
★ The goal you guys have to work on
“Vampires and werewolves, all sorts of demonic half-blooded offspring, human pups that made a contract with the devil. All the bastards I put up with bounties on the system are bastards that Lilith bought and left.”
★ The reward you guys will receive
「Catch and kill the son of a demon king and win this fucking war. Then I’ll do anything you ask me to do. Do you want to live forever with your loved ones? let me do that Do you want to get a [Divinity] and manage a dimensional territory? don’t listen to that either. Do you know your brother’s personality? call?”
Players who received this message began to travel around the world from that day onwards, finding the ‘children of Lilith’ and killing them at random.
The head of a world-class conglomerate, a powerful warlord who rules a world without law, a politician who moves a huge country with one tongue, a commander of an aircraft carrier fleet that can erase at least one small country on its own, and a new drug conglomerate who corrupts humans with vampire blood. A bounty was placed on those in power as powerful.
“… … Was this bastard also Lilith’s child? Somehow, the war ended so in vain. Weren’t they all traitors?”
“This vampire bastard is an oil warlord. If you kill it wrong, it’ll be pretty noisy, right? If not, the entire Middle East will go to war.”
Players licked their tongues at the bounty list.
It was as the manager said. More than half of the power humanity could mobilize in war was in their hands.
The enemies inside were the cubs who had not died for thousands of years and had amassed a lot of money and connections.
The children of Lilith used the influence they had built up to disable much of humanity’s power in the early days of the war.
The world’s largest military supplies, food, and medical companies were all in their hands, and more than half of the commanders of the National Guard were initially filled by Lilith’s children.
Since these guys betrayed them from the start of the war, there was no way that humanity, which had run out of supplies, could properly fight the demons.
“whatever? Whether or not there is a war in the Middle East, what does that have to do with us? You have to kill the target before it clings to the demon lord.”
“If all these bastards are good enough, don’t you think we’ll be able to fight the demons by ourselves without an army? The manager also sharpened the knife properly this time.”
“No, it’s not worth doing. Do you think we would win easily even if we played?”
The players’ opinions were true.
Originally, humanity is a monster-like race that has enough capabilities to deal with demons on its own without players, unless there are traitors.
Since they are a race that actually practices the story that advanced science is no different from magic, they had the ability to counterattack against the demon world if they had a central point.
No matter how strong a high-ranking demon is, if it is hit by a tactical nuclear weapon, it will die.
“Let’s kill it first.”
The world has begun to fall into chaos due to the domino death of the powerful. However, there was no hesitation or mercy for the players hunting the bounty target.
The players are rewarded with the huge reward promised by the manager, but they are the ones who have suffered three times that the devil’s descendants joined hands with the devil and slashed the back of mankind.
There was no reason to show mercy.
The bounty hunters in the masks of apostles spoke.
“A good vampire is an inferior vampire.”
“A good werewolf is a backward bastard.”
* * *
The leader and her teammates who hid their powers were also having a very busy day carrying out the mission of eradicating the gray molecules.
“Hey, the strongest.”
“why?”
The woman, who was sitting on the werewolf’s corpse and smoking a cigarette while brushing off the blood from her steel glove, asked the man who was sitting on the floor drinking a bottle of soju.
“What did that manager man originally do?”
“Oh, manager? He said he was a warrior from the Apostle Tutorial. He boasted so much, saying that he had prevented the destruction of the world. Saying what you said again and again and again, it sounds like you’re really going to get a ticket on your ear.”
Surprisingly, this man, who will soon be unscrewed when he develops alcoholism, was very friendly with the manager.
Many players express their gratitude when they meet this man, and the reason is that everyone can spend a comfortable night thanks to him always dealing with the manager in their dreams.
Of course, if the person concerned does not drink alcohol, he is in a situation where he cannot bear the stress.
If you look closely, this man’s screw is the same as if the manager loosened it himself.
“… … You said you were the hero who saved the world? That guy who can’t complete a sentence properly without the words ‘fuck’ and ‘asshole’?”
The man shrugged his shoulders, tossed the empty bottle on the floor, and continued talking while uncapping a bottle he bought from the system store.
The alcoholic beverage chosen this time was whiskey, not soju.
He is a pitiful human being who has to deal with an increasingly furious manager every day, and now he can only relieve his stress with a cocktail in his stomach.
“That man said that clearing the tutorial and cosplaying as a hero were not things that could be done sanely. Do you think you are the best in your own words? The motives were all insane.”
“… … Is that nobleman saying he’s normal with his own mouth?”
The rumor that the manager of the earth was a particularly crazy person was a story so widespread that players would not even use it as a snack.
In addition to the ‘returners’, there were also several authors with superhuman strength called ‘returnees’, who proudly boasted that the administrators of the other world they visited were beautiful celestial goddesses not only in appearance but also in heart. Because.
After meeting with the manager, they disappeared without returning.
Anyway, it wasn’t the manager’s personality that mattered to her now.
“Erase? What are we looking for?”
The man who was washing the bottle shook his head.
“No, I haven’t found it yet. It was confirmed that it is not in our galaxy, and they have been searching for other galaxies since yesterday.”
“… … another galaxy? What are you talking about again?”
What the hell could happen to a player falling far out into space?
After confirming that there was no progress in finding Ji-Woo Han, the leader who hid his power took away the team member’s whiskey and started pouring it over himself.
At that moment, an urgent message from the manager came to the three of them.
「This is news that the admin has finally found the player ‘Han Ji-woo’.」
After checking the contents of the message, the woman jumped up from her seat and screamed.
“OMG? really?! did you really find it? Did that crazy manager finally make it?”
「Ga-ram Lee. these twins? Do you want to be beaten?」
I felt alive in the system message.
“… … .”
Yes.
The rumors that the administrator of the Earth was not good were not rumors spread by the returnees, but based on very certain facts.
“Hey, did you get fucked anyway? This bastard is on the other side of the universe right now.”
“… … I beg your pardon?!”
Finding it was a problem.
There was no way to bring him back with the current technology or authority of mankind.
The administrator said that even his divine powers [Summon a Hero] and [Appoint an Apostle] were not working, and told him to give up and then disappeared.
“… … When there is, be good. This is a real saying… … .”
The leader who hid his power made an expression as if the world had collapsed.
Apparently, the reason why this woman did not give up on her missing teammate seemed to have other reasons beyond strengthening the team.
her eyes are very sad
“… … fuck! this is not it! This is not!!!”
“Heh.”
Unlike the woman who suddenly grabbed her hair while drinking and screamed in agony at the current situation, the man who had carefully cleaned his bloody sword while sitting without saying a word smiled softly.
“Han Ji-woo, do you need me?”
In front of his eyes, there was a mysterious message sent not by the administrator of Earth, but by another being from a very distant place.
[Hero Summon Notification]
[‘The one who inherits the will of the corps’ wants to summon ‘Player Jinhyeok Kang’ to his colony.]
[Do you want to respond to the summons?]
“I don’t know why you call me rather than Lee Garam, who likes you so much.”
The man stood up and muttered.
“It will be fun.”
* * *
[Hive mind colony]
“… … .”
Kang Jin-hyeok slowly looked around.
Buildings made of blood and flesh scattered everywhere, and the thick gray mucous membranes that squirmed and covered the floor, gave off a truly grotesque atmosphere.
In addition to that, arthropods the size of a small SUV and resembling wasps were eating or resting on mucous membranes, and jellyfish of ridiculous sizes like some kind of Zeppelin rigid airship were flying around in the sky.
There must have been an enormous number of these guys everywhere, and the strong presence of countless living things strongly pressed Kang Jin-hyeok’s shoulders.
After a while, the eyes of the giant jellyfish floating in the sky began to fall on this stranger.
-intruder! intruder!
-danger!
-defense!
As they roared, swarms of spiders and wasps began to approach, glaring at any outsider intruding on the colony, baring their hideous fangs and stingers.
“… … As expected.”
Kang Jin-hyeok immediately pulled out his sword.
Flash!
Entering this episode, when [the holy sword used by the apostle], a reward obtained in advance from the administrator, appeared with a tremendous flash of light everywhere, the disgusting alien creatures were startled and scattered in all directions.
After the hive fell silent for a moment, he immediately felt creatures approaching the billions rushing toward him.
“If Lee Garam finds out about this, he will be sad.”
Kang Jin-hyeok was quite impressed with that ridiculously sized sperm whale creating a total solar eclipse throughout the colony, but he felt that there was something more impressive than that.
His sharp senses, which had been rolling as a player for many years, captured a very familiar yet very unpleasant gaze glaring at him.
As I turned my head to look, there was a building towering under the shadow of a sperm whale, with a shape so hideous that it was hard to put into words.
“That bastard.”
Even a duke-class demon boss called a calamity wouldn’t exude such an ignorant presence.
The intense presence of the ‘least demon level’ ruler who leads billions of legions was watching and controlling the entire planet at will.
“It’s very ugly.”
Dig-!!!
Among the swarms of insects attacking, Kang Jin-hyeok’s new model created a sonic boom and disappeared in an instant.
