Chapter 2294 – 2294. God’s Atlantis
Arel is dead.
The cause of death was a heart attack. From my perspective, it was a death from overwork. That’s because there were no holidays at the time of her death.
According to records, Arel died two years ago. After she died, America went back to work without any problems for half a year. Because she predicted her own death and planned the events that followed. If things had gone according to her plan, 5 years would have been no problem.
‘The problem is that the world does not go as planned.’
Six months after Arel’s death, all sectors, including the American economy, were shaken.
Arel’s successor was not incompetent. Dongtan female lawmakers are the elite of the elite. There is no such thing as an incompetent woman. It’s just that Arel was too capable.
‘Somehow it was resolved.’
I checked the notification window log.
“We have entered the industrial age.”
This is a notification window that appeared 8 years ago. This is the time when the steam engine was developed.
We are currently developing a steam engine. Well, development won’t take long. Unlike developing from scratch, in this day and age there are leaders with modern knowledge. Even if it was impossible to actively develop it, it was possible to give advice on the direction of development.
There have been a lot of spies recently, but I decided not to worry about it. Because we are sending spies just as much as they are sending spies.
‘According to the spy’s report, the United States has almost caught up with the pace of development of the United Nations. As of now, there is almost no difference.’
This is also thanks to Arel’s hard work.
“One of the contestants has been eliminated! Current participants: 5”
The eliminated contestant is Helten’s Samuel. Thanks to Samuel, the United Nations was unable to check me in time.
“One of the contestants has been eliminated! Current participants: 4”
Islam was eliminated two years ago. He ruled with oil, but was destroyed after being harassed by the United Nations. Islamic resources were taken by the United Nations.
‘Islam is a form in which the leader has been assassinated, so the power of the United Nations has not diminished. Because other United Nations have properly absorbed Islamic civilization.’
There are three remaining civilizations.
I heard from Helten and know their identity.
Great Britain (Owner of the Holy Sword, True Name: Lucas Spencer), Uruk (First Hero: True Name: Gilgamesh), Junghwa (Hero of Troubled Times, True Name: Cao Cao),
Lucas Spencer is the master of the legion called Camelot in Atlantis. According to what Samuel said, he seems to be famous, but I don’t know him.
Gilgamesh is the king of Sumer and Cao Cao is a famous hero from the Three Kingdoms.
The one to be wary of was Gilgamesh. As far as I know, Gilgamesh is a demigod mixed with the blood of a god. As such, he may have some dangerous powers.
‘Anyway, now is the time for development… I guess I should buy civilization points with the gold I have.’
The number of civilization points purchased is 17. As we entered the industrial age, the amount of gold mining increased significantly. Transportation has also become easier.
「Market
Economic activities become more active.
You can obtain 1 civilization point by consuming 47.5 tons of gold.”
‘The problem is that the amount of gold consumed has increased significantly.’
“10 years of time have been skipped.”
「310 C.E.」
「Acquire 1 civilization point!」
「With interest, you will obtain 44 civilization points!」
「Current civilization points: 492」
「Current population: 130,285,053」
The population exceeded 100 million. But I couldn’t let down my guard. Because the population of the United Nations is over 100 million. In particular, the population of Chinese civilization was significant. It seems to have skills or wonders related to population growth.
Sumerians have a much longer lifespan than others. In today’s world, humans usually live 60 to 70 years, but the average lifespan of Sumerians is over 100 years.
‘Perhaps racial characteristics had an influence.’
This time, I purchased 5 civilization points with gold. You could originally buy more, but… I decided to slowly collect gold.
Gold is not only valuable as currency. Moreover, as the level of civilization increased, its value as a precious metal also increased. As citizens become more affluent, they want gold as a luxury item.
‘If you completely control it, dissatisfaction will build up. We need to release gold and circulate it appropriately in society.’
I couldn’t come all the way here and end up leaving because of the rebellion.
“10 years of time have been skipped.”
「320 C.E.」
「Acquire 1 civilization point!」
「With interest, you will obtain 49 civilization points!」
「Current Civilization Points: 541」
「Current population: 183,032,259」
This time, I purchased 5 civilization points with gold.
“We have entered the modern era for the first time!”
「Acquire 10 civilization points!」
‘Haha. Now the level of technology has surpassed that of the United Nations.’
The internal combustion engine was developed, but it took time and resources to commercialize it. In the case of resources, there is no problem. Because oil is being extracted from Hawaii.
“Dismissal. 30 Dreadnought-class battleships are ready. The Navy is awaiting your orders.”
I shook my head at the secretary’s words.
“Arel said to focus on development until 330. The war will begin in 330. In the meantime, build 20 more battleships.”
“10 years of time have been skipped.”
「330 C.E.」
「Acquire 1 civilization point!」
「With interest, you will obtain 54 civilization points!」
「Current Civilization Points: 595」
「Current population: 251,643,731」
Population: 250 million.
It was so overwhelming that it put a smile on my face.
‘There are 595 civilization points. If you use all of this, you can move straight to modern times.’
But it didn’t go over right away. There were many spies for the United Nations in the United States, so if we moved to modern times, it would not take long for the technology level to catch up. Still, I’m sure I have the advantage.
‘The victory of civilization is a separate party. What you should aim for is not the strategy victory, but the hidden boss, Tiamat. There is no information about Tiamat, so we should prepare as much as possible.’
I called the generals of the navy together and gave them orders.
“Conquer Great Britain.”
“Please leave it to me, Your Excellency. Starting with Great Britain, we will conquer the Eastern Continent. The throne of this world belongs to the United States.”
56 dreadnought-class battleships left for the sea, emitting black smoke into the sky.
“Transportation (EX) is activated.”
“The whole universe helps you!”
「Transportation (EX) will be disabled for the time being.」
“A great leader has been born in the early American civilization!”
A golden pillar fell from the sky. It was like when the great sculptor Titang was born. Since my residence was also in Haecheory, it was not difficult to find the place where the golden pillar fell.
A newly born baby was carefully held in the arms of a nurse. She was a baby girl, but strangely enough, the baby didn’t cry. Her eyes are also wide open. I felt mana in the baby.
“Go, Your Excellency?!”
“Don’t make a fuss. The baby was blessed by the Lord of the Sky. He will become a great man… Hand it over to me.”
The nurse handed the baby over to me. The baby didn’t cry even when I held it in my hands. She looked up at me blankly and bowed her head. I looked at the baby and smiled.
The atmosphere, mana flow, and characteristics felt from the baby were very familiar.
“Congratulations on your reincarnation, Arel.”
I don’t know how she was reincarnated. I guess it’s because of her unique characteristic, Adult (SSS).
“Aww.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. It probably means that you love me.”
“Woo!”
“You want to work? Can not be done. In this life you will only work 5 days a week. Overtime work will not be permitted. There will be no deaths from overwork like last time.”
“Boo…”
Arel seems to have become sullen… It’s probably because of her mood.

Lucas, the leader of Great Britain, held his breath as he saw the ultra-American dreadnought-class battleships advancing toward the island.
It was after a naval battle at sea. Great Britain’s Invincible Armada sank 42 enemy battleships with 20 battleships, but was defeated by the remaining 14 ships.
Of course, this is not all about Britain’s naval power. As an island nation, Britain has invested heavily in its navy, so Britain’s navy is no slouch. When the remaining battleships in the sea come, the enemy battleship will eventually fall into the sea.
But what after that?
The age of steam is already coming to an end. A battleship will come equipped with an internal combustion engine rather than a steam turban.
A dangerous amphibious assault? They won’t care. The United States is a ridiculous country that can cram over 100 million soldiers into limbs without any worries.
No matter how you survive this time, you won’t be able to survive the next turn. His Great Britain burning is clearly pictured.
‘Great Britain’s army is nothing special compared to its navy. Because it’s at the level of no investment at all. If they succeed in the landing operation, it can be considered the end.’
There was no chance of winning this war. The population of the United States alone is over 200 million, but Great Britain is still only 30 million. That too is rounded to 30 million.
‘The U.S. Has it all. Population, technology, resources. It’s impossible to win now. It would be nice to wipe them out with a nuclear bomb, but… There is a high possibility that the United States will develop a nuclear bomb before the United Nations.’
Considering all the circumstances, the situation is hopeless.
‘If nothing else, we cannot let the leader of the United States become the winner. The leader of the United States would be 100% an outcast. It would be more beneficial for me to help Gilgamesh or Cao Cao win.’
Because you can at least get a piece of cake.
If it’s Uruk and China, it won’t be easy to be defeated by the US.
‘There is no need to destroy the United States. When a leader dies, the civilization naturally collapses.’
Lucas turned his body and went out.
“Quietly prepare a ship for Uruk.”
He decided to abandon Great Britain and quietly bide his time.
