Chapter 1688 – [Dead Universe-1]

For a while we played at the water park. Since there are quite a few people, it would be nice to have someone to manage them, but in the first place, no one in my house deserves to die from suffocation.

Eden could probably easily dive underwater for an hour. Eve? Would the body of a biological android do something like suffocation?

Anyway, thanks to you, it was fun to play. There were various happenings, but it was still fun in its own way.

In particular, the huge slide in the center of the water park, almost like a ski jump, going up was like going up in an elevator, but coming down was that much more thrilling.

“Wow!!!!! If you go off the rails while riding that, it’s fun to fly for a few seconds!!!!!!”

“Instead, because the damage from falling is so great, people under 15 years of age are prohibited from entering the facility.”

“How is it any different from diving when you drop someone from a dozen meters away? If you fall into the water, the shock will be less, but it’s not completely non-existent…”

Even if you fall from a high place and fall into the water, not everyone can survive. Although water cushions the impact to some extent, it ultimately has its limits.

If you fall on your stomach from a high place, your internal organs will probably rupture. Horizon Water Park’s most dangerous and thrilling facilities are difficult for the public to use.

Still, my family is not all ordinary people, so I can use it, but it was fun to watch and ride it over and over again, betting on who would perform more stylishly.

Spend some time enjoying the water, and then have a light meal afterward.

I was wondering what to eat, but after playing in the water, ramen is perfect. It’s not just ramen, it’s seafood ramen with lots of seafood.

Not only clams, but also mussels, squid, crabs, shrimp, etc. Add a lot of delicious seafood and boil it. It’s delicious to eat on its own if you want to lose strength and lose strength while playing in the water, but seafood ramen is just perfect.

“Kuuuuu where? The soup is killer!!!!! Dad, should I bring soju?”

“You can drink it, but don’t swim after drinking it.”

“I’m not even drunk anyway!!!!!”

There was a lot of seafood, so the pot was half noodles and half seafood. In fact, you could have added other seafood as well, but this was enough for seafood ramen.

The seafood ramen made that way was so great even with hangovers that I naturally started drinking. Meanwhile, people who were relatively less interested in water activities, such as Mary and Lulu, gathered together and spent time drinking.

“Wow, the soup is really amazing. The flavor is amazing.”

“That’s right. Oh, can I eat rice here?”

“Do you want to eat the soup and then eat it with rice? Or do you want to put rice and ramen in it later and eat it as ramen oatmeal?”

“Both!!!!!”

“I knew that. I should add some more squid or shrimp.”

The food is delicious, and it’s fun to see the kids having fun after eating well and resting. Honestly, it was a lot of fun.

We had a blast at the water park… We could just play in the water for a day or two, but we couldn’t just stay there forever. After playing for a day or two, the kids got tired of it.

But around that time, something happened to relieve the boredom. Something has caught within Horizon’s detection range.

[Oh, discovered a planet?]

“That’s not it. It’s a little different.”

[Hey, what a disappointment. But what is it?]

“It’s a distress signal.”

“Structure signal?”

Well, it was much more likely to detect a signal than to discover a habitable planet during a random warp, but is there a signal like that?

Of course, the presence of such a signal means that there are people living within a relatively close distance, so it is possible to follow Keter’s opinion. However, in the case of such close distances, it is a universal standard, so how far you are depends on luck.

If you do something wrong, you could receive a distress signal from a spaceship that was leaving to colonize a planet and fall hundreds or tens of millions of light years away from your home planet. Of course, if it’s Horizon, it will go quickly.

“Oh, a space drifter? Sounds fun!!!!!”

“If it can send a rescue signal from the middle of space, it must be an advanced civilization with some level of space navigation technology. I wonder what kind of civilization it is.”

“Then let’s go first. If a rescue signal was sent, it must be an emergency, so we need to help.”

“They say the devil is a good person when you see him like that.”

“As long as you don’t mess with him, he’s a good person. There are a lot of assholes in the world who think they won’t get punished for hitting first, so that makes me an asshole.”

Honestly, I feel like I took too much effort, but at least I didn’t hit the first bread, right? And I am a person who apologizes honestly when I make a mistake. If you made a mistake, it is natural to apologize and compensate.

The problem is that there are so many conscienceless trash people out there who don’t know that. So, isn’t there a position like the Great Demon King? It’s trash like that who runs civilization, and when something happens, it becomes a mess.

Anyway, we headed to the place where the rescue signal was sent. Then, I try to figure out various things from that signal.

First, language. This side uses characters that are similar to English, so I didn’t think there would be any problem with interpretation. However, even when I tried to contact them separately, they did not answer.

“What is it? Are you sending a rescue signal and sleeping?”

“Oh, I think I saw this. Now, if we go there, there’s something like a necromorph.”

“Don’t say that… Ah.”

At that moment, I felt something tingling. He tried to tackle Eden’s words, but stopped reflexively.

This unpleasant sensation was something a little more strange. It’s not just a feeling that there’s going to be a crisis.

… I’ve felt this similar dirty feeling once before. This is when Eden is taken to a world where the demon king of evil spirits and the evil goddess Bitch are and are used as a warrior.

Of course, that’s not the same case. Fantasy and Universal Century SF are different genres. However, I could tell that the feeling was similar.

“Seeing as you can feel it, I have a general idea.”

“But if you think about it, doesn’t Lady Eden also have sensory abilities? I’m just saying this in passing, but she may be intuitively grasping the situation.”

“Is it wrong?”

“It seems like the person involved is a long time ago. The timing was similar, but you still figured it out faster than my intuition?”

“Isn’t Eden smart? If he has good senses and a good mind, he will be able to predict the future, so I think he’s good at it.”

“That’s very likely.”

Even if I’m a bad person, if I use my senses to the fullest, I can react to attacks at the speed of light and predict my opponent’s attacks a few moves in advance. In short, it is the area of ​​prediction.

However, if you are smart, you can make predictions rather than predictions based on that information. It’s an outstanding ability, but it’s a task that neither I nor Phantom, who have the same sensory ability, can handle. Even though Phantom has become absolute, he still cannot predict the future.

But if it’s Eden… I’m so glad that she has the same hair as her mother.

Anyway, it cannot be avoided. This matter is clearly arranged by the absolute master of fate, and it cannot be accomplished by avoiding it. It is a much better choice to go and use your hands now that the whole family is gathered together and there are transcendent people who cannot be touched by the Absolute.

“It’s been about two years since I came back after capturing my daughter.”

“How much are you trying to tease me, you old maid!!!!”

“Eden, swear as much as you want this time. The burden will be on dad.”

“Wow!!! Dad’s card chance!!!!”

She’s a bitch with a dirty personality who twists her strange fate when she criticizes herself, but since Eden can’t touch her, she’ll use her hands on me. So, it’s better for her to curse to her heart’s content this time and leave the responsibility to me for next month.

Anyway, we followed and moved to the place where the rescue signal was sent. It is not at the level of warp or light speed navigation, but approaches by driving fast.

After some time, we were able to find the spaceship that had sent the rescue signal. Even though it is quite far away, it is a very large spaceship.

“It looks like it has some good technology. It’s probably made for long-distance navigation, so it probably has a lot of things in it.”

“There must be a real necromorph!!!! A plasma cutter!!!! We need a huge plasma cutter!!!!”

“I will prepare it.”

“Wow!!! Mom is the best!!!!”

Although it is small compared to Horizon, it is a spaceship large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. It seemed like it would take a long time to get around if I didn’t use separate facilities or transportation facilities.

“For now, we are continuing to try to communicate, but for now… Ah, it just came in.”

“Connect me. I need to check the situation first, so I’ll just talk to you. Just handle the interpretation.”

“I understand.”

Other people leave the room and communication is established. Because it is a place that has advanced to the point of space navigation, the other person’s appearance is displayed as a hologram.

He was a young man in his 20s or 30s with a slightly haggard look. He looked at me and said with a sigh of relief.

-Oh my god, I’m so glad there were survivors besides us. So please do not land on our ship and go back.

“This is the civilian ship Horizon. He received a distress call. What’s going on?”

-Have you not received any communication from the main castle? Oh, it’s a sudden thing, so it’s probably worth it. Anyway, the damn Just One has invaded the main city!!! Humanity lost its sense of self due to its mental wave and became Vadis, and only we managed to escape. At least we don’t know how long we can endure because of the vadiosis caused by the infected people on board!!!

There are a lot of words I don’t know because of lack of explanation, perhaps because I mistakenly thought they were from the same country.

Just One, Badis, etc… Still, if you put the words and the situation into perspective, it means that their true nature is probably collapsing, and the human race is on the verge of extinction, and even they are still in danger of dying because of the monsters called Badis.

-We are already finished. The situation seems to be okay there, so please, at least save your life. For the survival of mankind.

Few people remain aloof in the face of death. Even if you give up, people live to see if they have the chance to live, but it was even rarer for people to worry about others in a situation where they were cornered.

In the face of survival, even ethics and morals lose their value to the point of cannibalism, but sometimes there are people who find and try to protect even greater value even when facing death.

So aren’t humans wonderful? If there are people like me who fucking kill people, then there are also people who would rather save others than their own lives.

I like this guy. I was planning on helping a little, but I also thought I would use some effort.

“We will dispatch a rescue team. Please hold on as long as you can.”

-Yes? No!!!! And if you get infected by them…!!!!

“We are planning to enter with a few people. Don’t worry. So, we will hold out as long as we can and see you later alive.”

I ended the communication without receiving any reply. And immediately prepare to enter that ship.

First, it was basic for me and Eden to go in, and I was wondering who else would go with us, but surprisingly, Eve requested to accompany us.

“I am quite interested as it is a spaceship of a science-based civilization. And from the looks of it, it looks like the ship’s systems and such have improved, so if I go there, I will be of great help in that area.”

“Okay then, let’s go together. Instead, prepare thoroughly.”

“I understand.”

Since I had to fight against strange creatures on a spaceship stranded in the middle of space, I had to prepare accordingly. Not about me or Eden, but especially Eve.

We are strong even on our own, but Eve has no combat power other than her biological android body and hacking ability. So, while we wore suits for space activities, Eve wore a separate combat suit.

“I am the only one with heavy armor.”

“It’s for combat purposes. Still, it’s a void blaster and a plasma emitter, so its firepower is comparable to that of a walking bomber, so it’ll be useful.”

Now that preparations are complete, get ready to rush in. Take a small spaceship used in Horizon, move closer to the other spaceship, and then find a place to anchor.

Eve hacked that part separately, figured out the structure of the ship, and soon found a shipyard suitable for landing. We, who have properly built the ship, are stepping foot on this spaceship in earnest.

A cold shipyard with no other spaceships and only the one we came on. And only the screen with something written on it crackled to welcome us.

“Welcome to the From us,” It says.

“Oh, I haven’t learned the language here yet!!!!”

“I didn’t acquire the language, but it was more like memorizing information and translating it on the spot.”

“I don’t know how to interpret, but I’m worried about translation.”

“Your mother must have added augmented reality equipment to her suit. When you use it, it will automatically translate, so just go to options and turn it on.”

“Oh, it looks like I just used the augmented reality technology I received from [Paradise] Before. It’s pretty good.”

However, the ship’s dock door was locked by a separate system. Looking at the situation, it seems that it was sealed for fear of leakage or contamination, but entry was prohibited by the captain’s authority, not by anyone else.

“There must be some reason, so we will only open the door to go through, not the entire facility.”

“Okay.”

My senses are caught by something inside the door.

There are beings that seem to be one but are many, or are many but are one, no, there are beings.  The presence itself is many, but the more important spirit seems to be one.

“Then I will open it.”

Eventually, Eve opened the door and was able to see the scene inside.

Surprisingly, there were ordinary people there. As Eden said, I thought there would be strange creatures like necromorphs, but on the outside, they are just ordinary humans.

However, the inside cannot be guaranteed. Because when the door opened, without a single error, they all turned their heads towards us and looked at us with eerily clear eyes.

As soon as Eden saw that, he was frightened and summoned the horn of Keter, made a blade out of leaves, and swung it with the blessings of Mr. Susanoo’s divine sword. To be honest, it’s almost too much to use on someone like that.

“Oh my god!!!! I’d rather be a necromorph!!!!!”

Didn’t you come here expecting that?

And as soon as Eden saw it, he blew off dozens of heads that looked like living corpses. She wanted to do something to resist, but she didn’t have time, and her physical strength seemed to be similar to that of a human.

Now that we’re here, it feels like the genre has changed from space horror to a hack and slash action game.
