Chapter 1689 – [Dead Universe-1]

Eden blew off the guys’ heads out of nowhere, but there was a reason for it. In the first place, unlike me, our Eden is not the type of person who just kills people.

First, I think they are called Vadis from what I heard through previous communications. They probably became a threat as they spread from this ship.

In addition, killing him quickly was a better choice.

“It polluted the mind, and through it, the soul was also being deteriorated. If I had left it any longer, it would have become a completely different soul than it was before contamination. If that happens…”

“Even if I go into reincarnation, it won’t be normal. This is a bigger problem than I thought. Isn’t it Aregish’s agenda?”

I’ll have to ask Ardolphina about this later. But it’s a bit strange. If there was a problem with the soul to this extent, it would have been dealt with a long time ago.

Anyway, we decided to keep going. First, I plan to meet the survivors of this civilization that I communicated with before, and Eve was able to determine their location and decide on a destination.

“The survivors are gathered in the hangar and are staging a sit-in. However…”

“Just?”

“The man who communicated with your father appears to be alone in the control room.”

“No, why?”

“When we received a rescue signal and attempted to communicate, it seems they moved separately to the control room to repair the damaged communication equipment and make contact.”

Eden shouted, her eyes shining.

“Is that brother Isaac!!!!”

“But then, doesn’t that mean that the hardships have been overcome?”

“Isn’t it meaningless because the genre has changed since we came here?”

“That’s right.”

I was wondering who I should meet first, but in the current situation, I thought it would be better to take care of the survivors first. So I decided to go to the hangar first.

When I asked how to get around, there was a separate means of transportation. Since it is a fairly large spaceship, it is obvious that without this, it will take a lot of time to move around. It’s also in Horizon.

Eve separately showed the internal structure of the spacecraft and means of transportation… The rail network for transportation using a hologram.

It is used not only for movement, but also for transporting materials, so it is connected to various parts of the spacecraft like blood vessels. If you ride that well, you’ll probably be able to get to the hangar quickly.

“All trains, whether for movement or transportation, are stored in the hangar, so we have nothing to ride.”

“Then why not imitate Aladdin?”

I ripped off a steel plate nearby and used telekinesis to levitate it. Actually, the problem is the travel route, not the ride, so I plan to fly on this. Doesn’t it look like a flying carpet?

We got on the steel plate and flew toward the hangar. There was no interruption in the middle, but there was something that bothered me. In what appeared to be a station building, a few badis caught my eye.

There was a screen door or something, so it couldn’t come through, but it looked like it was trying to approach us. When I glanced at Eden, they shook their heads as if they were already in the wrong.

“It’s already too late. The soul has been corrupted, so even if you kill it, it can’t be saved.”

“This is really about Aregish or the Phantom. What on earth is the guy who did this trying to do?”

Among the dimensional laws observed in dimensional civilization, there is a law that prohibits trading, exploiting, and other activities involving souls. This is a bill that Phantom worked hard to pass.

However, although this is a space civilization, it is not a dimensional civilization, so we do not use any effort in dimensional civilization. It was like punishing a crime committed by a person from another country under their own laws even though they had no connection with it. In short, since it is not under jurisdiction, there is no authority to punish. Because dimensional civilization is not God.

But phantom individuals are different. If I let you know, I’ll come in alone and destroy everything. It’s so scary because he’s the absolute strongest person at the moment.

Suddenly I had a question, so I stopped for a moment and walked towards Badis.

“Wait a minute, let me find out something.”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“Me?”

“Oh, that was a slip of the tongue.”

As I approached, the Badis rushed at me. First, shouldn’t we know what they do and how and what they infect?

First, they made physical contact with me. They didn’t cover my arms, legs, body, or other parts, but if there was something that stood out, they grabbed my head and made me touch my forehead to my forehead.

At the same time, mental waves poured in through them.

-Unification, ascension, salvation.

-We are one.

-The body is mortal, the mind is immortal.

-Join the great will.

Through the Badis, I was able to see how big of an entity the person who was trying to talk to me and pollute my mind was.

I figured out that this guy was a mid-level transcendent, a level higher than Eden, so much so that it wasn’t surprising that he could destroy a civilization. I don’t know about anything else, but at least the size of the power is like that.

Considering that it is good at these things, it is probably not a simple being but a mental entity. Considering that it feels similar to God, it appears to be a mental body created by combining various wills into one. Of course, it’s really different compared to God…

-Join our pilgrimage.

-Entrust your body and mind to us.

-Eternal rest, eternal salvation, life without pain.

-We are one.

Ineffective mental waves continue to pour in. In response, I put my will into it and used my will to reverse the route he was sending his mental waves through.

[Fuck you, you bastard]

-…

For a moment, the mental waves were cut off and there was silence. It seems like it’s quiet, but soon the bodice starts moving.

They left my body and then started to hold onto each other and hug. Some people climb up, others fall on the floor, and it becomes a work of art that looks like human body art or performance art is being performed by many people.

And the mental waves become even stronger. Mental waves that were relatively weak when they were apart had now begun to manifest mental waves so strong that they can be transmitted even when the body is not in contact.

-Who are you?

[You know what to do, you idiot.]

-It’s amazing. There are beings other than us who have such a high-dimensional mind.

[Have you searched all the higher-level minds? Is the person who captures people and commits vicious acts that distort their minds and souls a high-dimensional spirit?]

-It is necessary. And at the end there is salvation. You can achieve unity, ascend to heaven, and then achieve salvation. You too, join us.

[I don’t like it.]

-The body will inevitably perish. That is why pain exists. But the mind is immortal and does not suffer. Also, since the minds are connected and become one, they understand each other and there is no conflict.

[You should also know that there is progress that comes from that conflict.]

-Don’t you know that there is pain that arises in the process?

As the Great Demon King, I affirm progress and deny stagnation. So, I also denied [Teardrops] From [Paradise], Which I had seen before, but I left it in because there was room for reflection.

Civilization, in any sense, is something that develops and grows through strife and competition. A world where there is only true peace is meaningless because it stagnates without feeling the need for development. It would be better if we develop as we should, and all humans achieve mental maturity and achieve peace through their own will.

Anyway, I can’t stand this bastard’s ways. In the big picture, the intentions are good, but in the end, it is no different from extreme totalitarianism that ignores individual freedom, and the end is also pretty trash.

[See you later. I’ll go and screw you myself.]

-A huge will that I have never seen before. I’ll be waiting.

And I shattered the group of bodies that looked like human body art, just like I smashed the phone after receiving an angry phone call. They were reduced to pieces of meat and never moved again.

“Did you find out something?”

“I knew the other person was a dick.”

“It looks like he has that level of ability.”

“The current Eden will be difficult for you to defeat.”

I’m not saying it can’t be defeated, but the opponent is quite strong. Although it’s a one-shot to me, it’s something I can’t just ignore, so I think I should keep Eden by my side if possible.

After finishing our brief errand, we moved toward the hangar again. As I wasted time, I moved faster and quickly arrived at the hangar.

There was a sit-in protest in full swing. I noticed that there were probably no trains on the inner loop line of the ship because they had piled it up here to create a barrier, and then there was something that had the feel of human body art that I had seen earlier. However, unlike before, which had the form and purpose of a tower or antenna, it clearly had the shape of a giant.

“Damn!!!! It’s a level 3 Badis!!!!!”

“Stop it!! If it gets through here, it’s all over!!!!”

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

The giant made of human bodies looked normal from a distance, but when seen up close, it was very bizarre.

Would you be able to understand if a giant’s finger were made of a human body? Countless humans are imitating parts of organs by holding on to each other’s limbs and hugging each other.

Some with their arms, some with part of their legs, some with their heads. Even if you estimate the number of humans that went into making one thing, it seems to be more than a hundred, and the giant created by such humans was both bizarre and disgusting at the same time.

Of course, what ultimately achieves that is the human body made of fabric. If it were a normal method, he could have been killed by shooting him with a gun or anything else.

But as we saw earlier, beyond the Vadis… Is it probably a guy called Just One? Anyway, just as he gathered people to strengthen the spirit wave, if he used that many people, even more would be possible.

Just as I surround my body with a force field and exert a force greater than my physical strength, the body of the giant Vadis is surrounded by a force field through the power received from the other side. So, even though it was made of weak human blood and flesh, it was able to show overwhelming strength amidst the resistance of the survivors.

“I need help. I’ll go first.”

“Okay, try using combat gear.”

But in the end, my force field is edgy, edgy, edgy. Physical defense is not relatively excellent, and conceptual defense is weak. Maybe if more people gather together and receive more power, I don’t know.

That level can be easily dealt with the combat equipment Eve uses. Eve flew in first and poured firepower at the guy.

A high-power plasma heat ray, a void blaster that destroys anything within range through spatial resonance, and a gravity control device to support physical defense and attack. It is not for nothing that Sion said it has bomber-level firepower. Even though it is only equipment that a human can wear, it has tremendous firepower.

Jijijijijik!!!!

Kiiiiing!!!!

Its force field is chipped away by the high-temperature plasma heat rays, and eventually it reaches the main body and is burned to the point where not even ashes remain, and the void blaster’s spatial resonance in the form of an invisible sphere annihilates its body to the point where no trace of its existence remains.

Badis, who threatened the survivors fiercely, maybe you said he was level 3? Anyway, that’s how he disappeared. In the end, they are made up of survivors who were on this ship, but at least the living people are important.

As we approached the survivors after clearing them with overwhelming firepower, they were wary but also expressed gratitude.

Among them, a blonde woman with a very healthy appearance appeared as a representative and asked us a question.

“Thank you. But who are you?”

“This is a rescue team dispatched from the civilian ship Horizon. I am the worst, and these are my daughters Eden and Eve.”

“Civilian ship? Ah, the one David was talking about… But I have nothing to say to you that you came to me like this even though it was dangerous. My name is Nasha Brayburn.”

“Still, I’m glad you came at an important time. First, let’s take care of the injured.”

“Yes, thank you for the favor.”

The survivors’ situation was better than expected. Of course, it was a shame that we came and took care of the level 3 badis, otherwise they would have been killed. Still, other than that, there were no notable casualties.

The fact that the condition was a bit better seemed to be due to the characteristics of the bodice. They cause mental pollution rather than physical pollution, and when the body in question ceases vital activity, it cannot receive or transmit mental waves. That’s why there were relatively few casualties because they tried to keep their opponents alive and turn them into Badis.

It’s so ironic that while people are trying to exterminate humanity, they are actually trying to prevent people from dying. In the end, being a teenager is no different.

“What is the current situation?”

“… It’s not very good. There are some colleagues who look like they’ll soon become Vadis, and they’re pushed to their limit. I think there’s some hope that rescue has arrived, but will it be possible to escape?”

“We have to look at the situation first. How are you, Eve?”

When I spoke to Eve, Eve, who was in the middle of a conversation with a technician, came over, nodded her head, and said.

“We were lucky because the place where the sit-in was held was a hangar. There is a transport plane, and if we do well, we will be able to pick up the survivors and move them to Horizon.”

“If there isn’t enough transport, we can just airlift it from Horizon later… But I think we’ll have to use some help with people who are in bad condition.”

Nasha’s complexion hardens at that. She accepted that she had to kill my words about using her hands.

Well, honestly, objectively speaking, it is one of the right choices. In a zombie apocalypse movie, there’s a character who hides the fact that he was bitten and later does something so embarrassing that he causes cancer and destroys a barely stable community. If he keeps it as a cliche and gets another badis, it’s a catastrophe.

But I’m not talking about killing. It’s simple, but I don’t want to kill you when there is a way to treat it.

“Eden.”

“Water essence + Spiritual cooking = Mental recovery!!!!!”

By using the essence of water to recover wounds and physical strength, and by applying spirit cooking, you can heal the spirit and heal the minds of people polluted by its mental waves. Of course, the deteriorated soul cannot be cured right away, and it will take time, but at least it could be prevented from getting worse.

It’s really just that the essence of our Eden’s water is Muan Sweet Water. Useful writing.
