Chapter 1692 – [Dead Universe-1]

In front of the overwhelming mass, the level 4 Bodice was unable to withstand the output of the force field and was crushed without being able to withstand even a second. Not only that, it didn’t leave a single trace of flesh.

All that was left was blood stains scattered everywhere, and not a single piece of bone remained.

Although it is a sufficient overkill, it is less than killing the body as well. Instead, in the aftermath, one wall of the facility was blown away, creating a hole so wide that one could see the universe in the distance.

Couuuuu!!!!

The air inside escapes. It’s not like you’re going to die because you can’t breathe, but the survivors are different, so they had to escape quickly.

It may seem a bit excessive, but this ship was going to be abandoned anyway and had to be destroyed. Although most of the Badis have reached level 4, there will still be some isolated Badis. If someone comes and looks around and gets infected for no reason, that is also a problem.

While moving to the hangar, there was a problem with the ship. I received a call from Eve, who seemed to have noticed it right away.

-The state of the aircraft became unstable. Did you do something, father?

“Ah, blowing up Badis with the entire plant facility.”

-You did it loudly. Anyway, come quickly to the hangar. Preparations for escape are complete, and we must avoid the Fromus before it explodes.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

The ship shakes as if there was something bad among the things I destroyed. It wasn’t for nothing that it would explode.

Since I had to escape before then, I flew at high speed and headed to the hangar. There were no badis in the way, but they collapsed here and there, so the road was blocked, but I ignored everything and broke through because it would explode if I delayed anyway.

When we arrived at the hangar within a few minutes, we saw survivors on several transport planes taking refuge. There was one last transport plane left for me to board, and David and Nasha with surprised expressions were waiting there.

“I never thought you actually dealt with a level 4 badis. I’d like to hear how you did it.”

“Let’s go have a drink and talk. Isn’t escaping the most important thing now?”

“Yes, let’s get on. I’ve prepared a special seat for you.”

Although the transport plane was relatively small, it could accommodate hundreds of people if all cargo was thrown away. So we quickly prepare to escape.

After completing a few checks, the transport plane quickly accelerates and flies away. And then she got out of the From Earth and went into space.

The Horizon is anchored not far away. Because it is so big and the distance is relatively close, it is clearly visible.

David, who had been in contact with the Horizon but did not know what kind of ship it was, was astonished when he saw the gigantic ship that ignored perspective. In fact, since the Horizon was built by Zion, it is an over-tech ship even by her space civilization’s standards.

“No, it’s not just a simple ship, it’s an Ark class, no, it’s a much bigger ship than the Ark class?! What ship does it belong to?!”

“It was dried secretly.”

“That can’t be possible. No matter how much we try to keep it confidential, we would have to use experts in each field to build a ship of that size, and Nasha and I are also from that field. It would have been at least a little known through rumors, but that’s never been the case…”

“Well, let’s go and talk about it. It would be a long story to tell here.”

A slightly suspicious look. Well, that can’t be helped.

The conditions are not good to tell the truth, so we have to hide it and put it off, because secrecy breeds distrust. Still, if you go, you can resolve any misunderstandings.

As it flew toward Horizon, Fromus began exploding behind it. Starting around the area I destroyed, the explosion gradually grew stronger, and soon there was an explosion so large that the ship itself was cut in two.

“Beware of debris!!!!”

“It’s a transport aircraft, so the evasive maneuvering system wouldn’t be very good!!!!”

Because it was space, we couldn’t hear the explosion, but the explosion and the debris flying in its aftermath, large and small, rained down on the transport plane we were on.

Well, if a problem arises now, I widen the scope appropriately and cut out all the debris that comes within a certain radius. A large ship exploded nearby, but David didn’t even detect it, let alone collided with space debris. David, curious about something, reflexively turned to me.

He’s a guy with good instincts. If you’re an engineer, you’ll have good brains and good sense… So you’re not going to die easily. He almost died fighting the level 3 Vadis, but wasn’t it ultimately thanks to the choices he made that we went to the rescue and saved his life? He made the right choice.

After that, we arrived at Horizon without any problems. The transport plane and survivors who departed first cheered when they saw us arrive last.

“David!!!! David, this bastard is alive!!!!”

“I knew that!!!! He’s tough enough to give up his life!!!”

“Nasha escaped being a widow.”

First, all the survivors were rescued, and when we check the number of people, it is roughly less than 10,000 people.

Most of them were engineers who were building the Fromus, but there were also a few survivors they protected. Of course, it’s still not enough considering the number of people on board… But what’s important is that we tried to save people no matter what the number was.

First, it was decided to conduct separate physical and mental tests. Although the progression of mental pollution was prevented through water purification, mental pollution was easy to treat but difficult to treat, so it had to be looked at in the long term, so it was essential to classify the target in advance.

It didn’t take long though. Horizon’s facilities are full, and it is not difficult to care for just 10,000 people. In the past, we used to carry a lot more people.

After the basic checkup is over, we gather them all in one place and tell them our side of the story. It’s not a metaphor, we’re really in the same boat, so I need to tell you the facts and explain things.

Instead, it is we, Zion, who are talking about it. I also have authority over Horizon, but that authority is because I am my husband, and the actual captain and owner of this ship is Zion. And since the situation was so chaotic, it was much better for Shion, who looked like a pretty child on the outside, to talk.

Originally, humans were greatly influenced by the visual aspect. Just as if an ordinary man were to solicit a customer, he would avoid it, but if a pretty girl was smiling in front of the store, he would automatically enter the store without any special solicitation.

“Nice to meet you guys, my name is Zion, the owner of Horizon. If you’ve seen my daughters, you’ll know that I’m also their mother.”

The survivors were young enough to react in various ways upon seeing the young Shion’s appearance, but Shion revealed the most important truth first.

“First, we are not from the civilization you know, but from another galaxy. You can think of us as aliens.”

“No, what?”

“Aliens? We’ve been trying to find intelligent life other than us for decades, but we haven’t been able to find it?”

“Then how do you think they built a ship this size that cannot be hidden even if it is kept confidential? An engineer of the caliber here would have some connections, but do you think that through those connections, he could be building a ship that you have never heard of?”

Perhaps smart people think the same way, but with the logic David had mentioned before, Zion shattered the survivors’ disbelief.

Even after whispering to him, he understands. Honestly, there is a mountain of evidence to say no.

What did they say, they avoid requisitioning civilian ships, and those ships are huge, and the facilities are awesome. Wouldn’t it be more convincing to say it’s just an alien spaceship than to say it was a ship developed in great secrecy?

“First, we will help you with humanitarian procedures. We will provide various support so that you can find a planet that is sufficiently self-reliant and settle there. If you have any other questions, please let us know.”

“Then did you get a call from another evacuation ship?”

Then someone shouted at Zion. Since it was the first question, I wondered what kind of question it would be, but it wasn’t about self-interest, but about other people’s conditions.

So what you’re saying is, are there any survivors besides them? And a moment of silence. To the average person it would be nothing more than an error, but to me, it felt like a sure answer that there was no such thing.

In fact, it’s obvious that we warped around here several times, and it wasn’t there. And didn’t the parties also say that they had no contact with other evacuation ships? Then it is inevitable.

“At least there is no news yet, but we are continuing to search. If we are lucky, news will reach us from survivors like you.”

“Hmm…”

It’s good to leave it at that, saying that they are the only survivors of their civilization. Shion then changed the topic and brought up another story.

Why are we talking about Horizon’s facilities and equipment? Since Horizon had far more recreational facilities than combat facilities, they were able to forget their current feelings and relax as if they were on vacation.

“If I get in touch with you later, I will let you know. In the meantime, please enjoy the facilities of our Horizon. Since it is actually a recreational spaceship, there are plenty of things to do.”

“Alcohol?!”

“Of course, alcohol is free.”

“Ohhhhh!!!!!!!”

Even if it’s difficult to make fairy tears or spirit tears, it’s okay if it’s a different liquor. Even excluding our personal collection, there is plenty of alcohol for people to drink.

Even in the cyberpunk world where the natural environment is ruined, there is a lot of alcohol containing synthetic alcohol, but Horizon is ridiculous. In the first place, it was possible to make natural alcohol from crops that produce alcohol, rather than synthetically.

It’s an old story, but the Baekhyang cactus I got in the post-apocalyptic desert world where Baek Hee and Mad Max Ruri met was of that type.

After that, everyone dispersed. The survivors were all different and had different gender ratios, but at least they all had the same desire for pleasure after being pushed to their limits.

“First, women are heading toward the public bathhouse or bathroom. Some people take a bath in a private room, but most people wash in hot water in the bathroom.”

“Well, if I had been suffering like that for a while, I wouldn’t have been able to take a proper bath. But are you looking at every single thing?”

“All we do is receive a report from the artificial intelligence that controls the facility. However, we do not observe it to the extent of infringing on personal privacy.”

“Well.”

The survivors each began to enjoy their leisure time. Since survival is guaranteed and the future is stable, all that remains is pleasure.

Since there were many desires, people moved to fill those desires. Many people moved to a separate public bar to have a drink in order to enjoy the current mood and add more pleasure.

“What is David doing?”

“Oh, he went drinking together with his friends and lover.”

“Then I guess we should go talk in moderation.”

Even though the misunderstanding has been resolved and trust has been restored, there are probably more questions than that. He told me that, and I also had a story to tell.

I headed to the public bar among Horizon’s facilities. Android… No, it’s not human-shaped, but closer to a robot, so is it a humanoid? Anyway, the bar run by such a bartender was packed with customers.

“Huh? Isn’t that the captain’s husband? Why is he the one who saved us!!!!”

“Is it true? Hey!!!! Pillar Seobang!!!! Thank you so much for saving me!!!!!”

“What is this guy saying to someone who is thankful? Anyway, don’t pay attention to what this guy says, just listen to what he says!!!!!”

I waved hello to the people who expressed their gratitude to me, found David sitting with Nasha at the bar table, and headed toward him.

They spotted me and waved welcoming me. He sits down next to them, asks the humanoid bartender for a suitable drink, and starts talking. Unlike before, now that we knew each other’s positions, I also felt comfortable talking.

“So, how about our Horizon?”

“Honestly, I was surprised. It felt like I was looking at an interstellar cruise ship. No, it actually seemed to have a lot more equipment than that, but I had no idea what the engine was made of…”

“Well, it’s about the black hole degenerate path, the fragment collision energy generator, and the solid reactor. Oh, don’t ask me about the principles. I’m not a major in those things.”

I can roughly explain the same thing, but I don’t know the details. It’s better to find out later by receiving information separately.

Anyway, it seemed like they were drinking some pretty good drinks here, but it wasn’t the best, so I talked to the bartender and ordered fairy tears. Even if other people don’t know, I have the authority, so it will come out quickly.

“Drink it, it’s one of the best drinks on our ship.”

“Oh, you can tell it’s a good drink just by smelling it.”

“Thank you so much, for helping me this much…”

“Have fun. Thanks to my wife, our ship has a lot more recreational facilities than combat ones.”

I’d like to release something like spirit tears, but it was created relatively recently, so Horizon doesn’t have much in reserve. I could have gone, but considering the mentally contaminated people, I had to stay behind.

Of course, even without that, fairy tears are delicious enough. At worst, people around me will look at me with envy.

I may give you one bottle, but I’ll give you one drink each, so don’t worry. I don’t know about spirit tears, but there is a decent amount of fairy tears.

“There’s one thing I’d like to ask. Are you okay?”

“What is it?”

“I know that Mr. Choiak is strong enough to defeat a level 4 Vadis. He must be a different alien than us. So how strong are you exactly?”

It wasn’t just curiosity; there was vengeance in his eyes. I think I know roughly what David is thinking.

At other times, I would have thought they were trying to take advantage of me, but since I feel the same way anyway, I don’t really blame them. Rather, it was beneficial to gain the favor of someone who knew what you were supposed to do.

“Is it because of Just One?”

“Yes… My father remained in his original form and became Vadis during the invasion. A being like him should not exist in this world.”

“I feel the same way. Anyway, if I tell you how strong I am, it won’t make you realize it… So let’s just say that I’m going to go catch Just One soon.”

David’s eyes trembled as if he was greatly shocked.

Considering what I’ve shown you so far, you’ll know that I wasn’t lying, so you’ll believe it’s true. Honestly, the lies I’ve told so far have only been white lies.

“Don’t you need a guide to get to the main castle?”

“David!!!!”

“What if you do it?”

Nasha stops her lover from going out on his own. Well, if you’re going to get revenge, it’s good for your mental health to watch someone else do it.

Just one!!!! Tear and kill!!!! Such a big bodice, there must be so much to tear and kill!!!!!!!
