## Chapter 1335 – Aftermath

“But now… even that small world is facing its end.”

The vice-commander continued, his tone resigned.

“That world, located in a region where the dimensional barriers are extremely weak… is being endlessly invaded by beings from another dimension.”
“Beings from another dimension, huh.”

I know quite a few guys like that.

That blue bastard Karset I fought in the desert was also from another dimension. He said he reveled in devouring human souls.

The world is vast, I guess. The universe is vast too. There must be a lot of monsters from other dimensions. And those monsters are intermittently targeting this world.

The place the demons invaded, and the titans used as a base, must have been a world relatively easy to invade. That’s why the titans used it as a base, and the demons discovered it. If that’s the case, then beings from other dimensions would have found it easily too.

It’s a total free-for-all world.

From now on, I’ll call it Free-for-all World.

The name sucks, and the conditions suck. I don’t think I could live in a place like that. And I bet the demons feel the same way. No one wants the land they live on to be called Free-for-all Land.

“Monsters from other dimensions… powerful beings who smell souls from beyond the dimensions and invade…”

I listened intently to the vice-commander, making logical deductions.

This is information I need to remember. Considering Karset enjoyed devouring souls, those dimensional monsters will definitely invade this land someday.

The world is a dangerous place.

If this Kim Kat doesn’t step up and manage things, it’s gonna be a disaster.

“So, there was a reason for the technology that blocks divine power and the curses that weaken the power of dimensional beings.”
“That’s right… all of it… was created by us based on the technology of the indigenous forces we absorbed.”

So, it was all titan technology after all.

Those bastards did have an empire in ancient times. Even though the entire civilization was destroyed by the invasion of outer gods, their technology didn’t just disappear. They resisted and fought wars, so it makes sense they’d have technology like that.

“But now it’s over. If we don’t go back, the demons in that land won’t survive. They’ll be eaten by extra-dimensional predators… and disappear.”

That’s the only future left for the demons.

“Please… don’t abandon the newborn demon spawn.”
“I’ll see how you do, you punk.”

Risha found the way those demon spawn were born extremely bizarre, but she said she wanted to manage them somehow if she could. She must feel some pity for them since they’re her own kind.

I don’t really feel that way, but they’re all just children.

“You’re cooperating properly.”
“Yeah. So, I’m going to manage those demon spawn properly.”
“…”
“Hey. Right. What about dimensional navigation? Is that titan technology too?”
“The foundation is titan tech…”
“You son of a bitch.”

These treasure goblin bastards.

But I’m also interested in that dimensional navigation thing. It looks like a really useful technology. More than anything, those airships were all using warp gates to zip around like crazy.

If I could use that freely?

I’d be even stronger than I am now.

“Do you know about that technology?”
“I don’t know if you’ll find it, but… there’s a data storage in the fortress.”
“Like a library?”

Ah.

No.

“There’s no need to store information in the form of books.”

Could it be digital?

“A demon authorized by the Demon King… can access the data.”
“What about Risha?”
“I think she can. But… if she can’t, there’s nothing we can do. My authorization period has expired.”
“Well, there’s no way the princess can’t.”

Since we’ve already occupied the entire fortress, we can find those things later.

“Alright, well. My questions have been answered. Continue to cooperate diligently with the interrogation.”
“…I will.”

With those words, I left the prison.

* * *

The control room of the aerial fortress felt completely different from the bridge of a ship.

There were countless tubes connected to the ceiling, which made it feel very bizarre, but the things attached to the floor were geometric pillars and magical crystal balls.

In other words, it’s completely different from the sensibilities of modern Earth. It’s not a feeling of analog and advanced digital technology mixed together… it’s literally a feeling of magic and technology combined.

If you looked at it with tinted glasses, it might feel like a ritual site for heretics worshiping an evil god.

Anyway, the crystal balls were broadcasting images of the fortress’s front, back, left, right, top, and bottom. The control room was in the center of the fortress, but these crystal balls were perfectly conveying the situation outside.

It’s almost like CCTV. It’s amazing that these bastards have technology like this.

And I don’t know for sure, but the table in the center was the main thing. On the table, which was about the size of a pool table, was a miniature version of the terrain below.

“Hmm.”

Of course, it’s not a physical object.

It felt similar to a hologram, so you couldn’t touch it. As you’d expect, the miniaturized terrain was changing in real time as the fortress moved forward. I found it amazing that the terrain information was being reflected in real time.

Of course, that’s not the main thing.

Above the center of the table.

There was also a miniaturized aerial fortress floating in the air. This also felt like a hologram. The demon senior controllers were controlling the aerial fortress while looking at this table.

“…”

There were all sorts of control devices cluttered in front of it, but the demon senior controller was skillfully controlling the fortress.

He’s driving at high speed to the place I told him to go.

“C-can I maintain this speed?”

The senior controller, Porkota, asked me in a very frightened tone.

“Can’t you go faster?”

All the demon crew members are being held in the fortress and working under my orders. Since their lives are entirely in my hands, the crew members all obeyed my orders.

“If I increase the speed further, the fuel efficiency will decrease… and we need to conserve fuel…”
“Alright. Then maintain this appropriate speed and head to the destination as quickly as possible.”
“Understood.”

I kept looking at the table. When I looked closely, it seemed like the hologram of the miniaturized aerial fortress was stationary, and only the surrounding background was changing.

“But it’s not detailed. Can’t you make it a little more realistic?”
“W-well, I’ve thought about that, but… I heard it’s difficult…”
“Is that so?”

Well, it doesn’t matter.

“Wow… I’m really. This is so amazing that I can’t even understand it just by looking at it.”

Anyway, the hologram-like thing on the table was so amazing that everyone was staring at it intently. Karin poked at the terrain and the fortress, saying.

“How is the terrain outside being expressed so quickly…”
“Ah, Karin. Don’t poke it too much. What if something goes wrong?”
“R-really…?”

Karin reacted as if she was momentarily scared by Liztina’s comment.

“Blackie? Can I touch that?”

Winia asked me, also curious.

“Hold on. Hey, senior controller.”
“Yes.”
“Can I touch that?”
“Yes… it doesn’t matter. You can touch it. It’s just a visual device that expresses the surrounding terrain and the state of the fortress… touching it won’t affect reality.”

In fact, even if you take a picture of someone and damage the picture, the person in the picture won’t get hurt.

But they were a little cautious, perhaps because they were overwhelmed by this extremely high level of technology.

“He said you can touch it all.”
“Ah, shit. You scared me.”

ㅡPoke, poke, poke, poke.

Relieved, Karin started scattering the holograms with her hands. I couldn’t help but smile at her pure appearance. Karin was satisfied with manipulating the terrain.

It must be fascinating.

“Really, Karin, you’re still a child. Just leave it alone.”
“What’s wrong with it? He said it’s okay.”
“Haa. Even if it’s okay. Geez. It’s just there to look at.”
“You do it too.”
“Do you think I’m doing this because I want to play such childish pranks?”

Liztina also said that while scattering the terrain and the aerial fortress indiscriminately. They’re both children. It’s hard to believe they’re more than ten years older than me.

“Anyway, how far does this express? Does it show people too?”

Then Liztina looked at the controller and asked.

“That is… yes. It does.”

The controller answered as if he was terrified… Ah, but. Hearing that story made me feel angry. It means they saw people in that thing and shot without hesitation.

“So, the demons saw people moving and still bombed them?”

Liztina reacted with a hostile attitude, probably thinking the same thing as me.

“…Yes.”
“That’s too malicious. Don’t you think?”
“Y-yes.”

Liztina suddenly started grilling the controller.

“What are you thinking? Regret? Or do you think it’s a waste because the mission failed?”
“I-I only feel sorry…”
“The demons will pay the price for the massacre. They’re all going to die, and I want to show you that. There. Just do your job properly.”

As expected. My sister has a beautiful personality. I watched the scene with a satisfied smile. It was a sight that made me smile.

“That’s my sister.”
“Hey, now that I think about it, shouldn’t we make these bastards attend the execution too? Thinking about it makes me too angry to stand it.”
“I’ll consider it positively, sister.”

ㅡ…!

As soon as my answer fell, the other demon crew members in the control room gasped.

“Yes. Please consider it.”

Are the little shits afraid of seeing their fellow demons being executed?
I need to think about this properly.

“But Kat. It’s really amazing. This kind of technology. I couldn’t have imagined it.”
“Me too. How can it be so amazing?”
“This is all Kat’s.”
“Hehehe, that’s right. This is all mine.”

Claudia looked around the control room with the eyes of someone looking at a rare loot.

“And Claudia, your body and mind too.”
“U-uh? Hehe, really. What is it? Suddenly saying things like that.”
“I just wanted to try it.”

I’m happy that Claudia is happy.

“To be honest, this one couldn’t even imagine this concept… so I don’t really understand it even when I look at it.”
“Ah, Risha’s here. How was it? The reading room?”
“I saw it, but it will take some time to understand it. More than anything, there’s no need for this one to know about facility-related knowledge, is there?”
“Right?”
“So, I only looked at the magic fields I was interested in. Even so, the level is quite high, so it will still take time to absorb it.”
“Take your time, take your time.”

It was a big gain just that Risha could use the reading room.

Anyway, we continued to sail like that. We were moving at high speed, but it took some time to reach our destination.

“We have arrived.”

The controller announced our arrival.

This was the central region of the Karga Kingdom. Looking at the surrounding scenery through the crystal ball and the table, it was just a complete wasteland. It seemed they had focused on destroying this area.

“Why?”
“Well… we used it as a firepower test site.”
“I see. You son of a bitch. Test? You really want to get your ass kicked?”
“A-ah! I’m sorry! I was wrong!”
“Just do your job properly, you bastard!!!”
“Yes!”

I was angry, but thanks to that, it was perfect for landing the fortress.

There was nothing there, so it looked good for landing.

So, I’m going to land the fortress here now.

The land issue hasn’t been completely resolved yet, so the owner of this land may still be alive, but I’ll compensate them later.

Let’s finish the urgent business first.

“Kat? Then you’re going to land it the way you said you would, right?”
“Yeah. That’s what I’m going to do.”

From now on, I’m going to detonate a Destruction Jade in that wasteland to create a crater big enough to fit the fortress.

“Controller. If I make a suitable hole in that land, you can land, right?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Hilde. Then keep a good eye on the little shits.”
“Yes! I’ll keep a good eye on them! Execution if you do anything stupid!”
“Very good.”
“Father. As always, be careful.”
“Yeah, yeah.”

As I prepared to go out, they greeted me.

ㅡFlash!

I immediately went outside and stepped into the air after getting off the fortress.

“Hmm.”

As expected.

It’s big.

“Demonic Heavenly Art.”

I immediately moved to a suitable place and deployed the Demonic Heavenly Destruction Jade. In that state, I looked at the size of the fortress and calculated the power of the Destruction Jade.

And.

“Demonic Heavenly Destruction Jade.”

I threw the sphere of power in my hand onto the ground.

ㅡWhoosh!!

The Destruction Jade flew quickly and soon touched the ground.
