Chapter 1738 – [Gatekeeper of the Garden of Eden]

She hasn’t been launched yet, but since she was commissioned by us and built by Janna, there was no problem getting in. And the further we went inside, the more Eden’s birth tree began to shine brighter.

It seemed like they had chosen the best spot for transplanting. She then toured the interior of the ship, using her neck as a compass.

“Maybe because I’ve grown up, moving around is a lot of work.”

“Isn’t it okay since we have some transportation facilities?”

It was a moving city-level ship, but moving from one area to another was also a problem. In the case of Horizon, since it is already an active ship, you can use the dimension gate separately from inside, but this had to be physically moved because the engines had not even started yet.

Well, it wasn’t that difficult because there were facilities for internal movement… For example, something similar to a train. It’s just a little annoying.

[Oh, I guess it’s this way.]

“Hmm, the direction we are heading now is where the ship’s plant facilities are located.”

[I think I want it because it’s a place that suits me well.]

A ship of this size naturally has self-sufficient facilities. Horizon also has plant facilities that can feed a city.

Shion and I use it, but I wonder if we need it, but we only use it when we forget. Even in my previous life, when I was running the Mars civilization, I operated the plant facility to feed the refugees on Earth in the early days.

The plant area we arrived at after moving around for a while was not yet operating properly, but we could see various facilities. There were also things like aquariums for hydroponic cultivation, and there were also facilities for cultivating not only crops but also meat and seafood.

You can do it synthetically, but… I personally don’t feel good about synthetic food ingredients like that. I once reincarnated in a cyberpunk world, and the food culture there was so terrible that, half jokingly, I thought about committing suicide and moving on to the next episode.

“It feels like I ate Kodari Gangjeong in the military and then came out and disliked Kodari Gangjeong. The ones synthesized at Horizon are good in taste and quality.”

“No, if the ingredients are bad, I will make it as bad as I can, but low-quality synthetic foods and ingredients are really no answer. It’s hell because of the artificial scent.”

Kodari Gangjeong coming out of the military… I’ve said it all. Even Eden, who says that almost everything is delicious, would say that Army Jjambap is just so-so.

Anyway, little by little we started to get closer to our destination. And soon we arrived at a ranch the size of the Garden of Eden that had been created separately for seed storage and grazing.

Isn’t the size strange? That’s how big this dimensional navigation ship is. On the other hand, Janna noticed Eden’s personality and increased the proportion of plant facilities.

As we got there, the color of the light from the birth tree changed. It went from being just a bright colorless light to starting to emit a refreshing green color as it got closer to its destination. So, we decided to find a place with the deepest and strongest light and plant a birth tree there.

[Here!!!!]

“I finally found it.”

Keter planted the Birth Tree at the target location he had finally found. This incident seemed to come to an end to some extent as Eden helped them dig the ground and planted a birth tree there.

Little by little, little by little. The birth tree begins to grow. After being left for a while, the birth tree begins to grow similar to the one in our yard.

“Oh, it seems to be settling in.”

“But are you satisfied with that level of being a descendant of the Absolute of Nature?”

“Huh?”

It was late after hearing Zion’s words. It was a mistake from the beginning to think that it would grow to the size of a small tree in our yard.

The birth tree began to grow bigger and bigger. It spread its roots and spread its influence widely, soon exerting so much power that it shook the entire ship. Rumbling!!! The vibration of the ship sounded as if a big earthquake had occurred.

“Aaaaah!!! An emergency has occurred!!! An emergency has occurred!!!!! Personnel inside must evacuate immediately!!!!!”

Deddudedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!

She managed to gather herself and avoid her body to some extent, but Janna separately broke the news to the internal operations staff. Honestly, the current situation is so unexpected that it makes sense.

Afterward, we who watched from a distance could see the birth tree spreading its roots tremendously. It affects not just the plant facility area but the entire ship.

And only after a few hours did the commotion come to an end. However, the damage and aftermath were as great as the commotion.

“Ugh… First, look at this. This is what the ship looks like from the shipyard.”

“No, what is this…”

Janna’s hologram panel showed tree roots-like roots sprouting from the rear of the oval-shaped ship. It is a strange sight that seems to combine the mechanical and the living.

First, we checked the internal system separately. Zion, Janna, Eve. On this side, three high-ranking people from the dimensional civilization rush in to investigate if there are any other problems.

However, apart from the occurrence of a major incident… No significant problems were observed.

“Despite the unexpected tree roots on board causing problems to the system, there are no problems whatsoever. In fact, it’s even better.”

“Even though there is still some time left until the launch ceremony, the ship is stabilized enough to be used immediately.”

“No, it’s clearly a combination of a machine and a plant called a tree, so why is it better!?! I just don’t understand!!!!!!”

“Looking at her strong reaction there, it looks like Eve still has a lot to learn.”

“I don’t know anything else, but if the Absolute is like that, I have no choice but to accept it.”

“How on earth can this happen when biotechnology is not at its peak?”

“If you think about it that way, the Absolute One of creation who created us, Hanon, is also the Absolute One. As such, we cannot say anything about the actions of the Absolute One.”

“As it is an exception, it is easier to manage your mentality if you do it no matter what.”

“Ugh…”

But on the other hand, I don’t think that the absolute being of nature would have done this alone. No matter how absolute it is, it is not as absolute as its true name suggests, and there are fields in which it is specialized and fields in which it is not.

But… The husband of the Absolute of Nature is no one else but the Absolute of Creation. And the absolute creator of creation chose Eden as his new successor.

No, really, how long have you been keeping an eye on our Eden? It’s really not a joke.

Anyway, there were no problems with the dimensional navigation ship, to the point where it was in even better condition, even though trees grew out of nowhere, roots sprouted, and became integrated. In fact, you can operate it right away.

Even though it takes a year or two to do the final inspection, we were able to shorten that time thanks to the birth tree. We were thinking of staying here for a few days, but we could have a launch ceremony during that time.

“It may take some time to invite people from the partner companies, but it will be okay if we only invite key people. And we plan to fill many of them with people who have directly worked in the field.”

“Well, you provided the money and such, so if there are people who have contributed more than that, it must be the practitioners.”

“Release your spirit tear reserves!!!!!”

[I still think it’s not enough.]

“But wouldn’t we be able to get one drink at a time? Anyway, we just have to make the alcohol again!!!!”

If you look at this, our Eden is really nice. If you think about the manpower that went into building a dimensional navigation ship of this size, it must have been in the tens of thousands at most, so you’re trying to treat all of those people with spirit tears.

Although there is a certain amount of reserves, unlike fairy tears, spirit tears are handmade and must be made by Eden. Simple fairy tears can be made by Keter alone, but spirit tears can only be made by me or Eden.

No matter how it is possible to turn away fairy tears, spirit tears… Well, it can be said that it is a good part of our Eden that we do not discriminate and do not regret eating and drinking together.

I’m really glad that our Eden’s personality doesn’t resemble mine. The kid is so nice.

The launch ceremony happened out of nowhere, but there were no particular problems. Janna decided to take care of the formalities, so all we had to do was prepare the food. But there was something to do before that.

“What are you going to name the ship? If we’re going to have a launching ceremony, shouldn’t we give it a name?”

“Oh, I see… Then since we have become one with the apple tree, shall we have apple pie?”

“The Choi family’s terrible naming sense?!”

Our Eden was also part of the Choi family, good or bad. It reminded me of it again.

Anyway, we put our heads together and thought of a name for the newly created dimensional navigation ship. Then, various things came out, and soon Eve came up with a good opinion.

“What about Cherubim?”

“Huh?”

“In the Bible, it is said that after Adam and Eve were expelled, Cherubim, angels of character, were appointed as gatekeepers to guard the gates of the Garden of Eden. So, why not use Cherubim?”

Cherubim, the angels who guard Eden. It seemed like a strange fit and a good match. It’s a pretty good name, or rather, a much better name than what I or Eden came up with.

In this way, the name of Eden’s dedicated dimensional navigation ship was decided to be Cherubim. And we check the server here and there and wait for the launch ceremony.

“It’s great that the main server is busy. The computing power is fully operational!!!!”

“Didn’t you use Horizon?”

“It’s better to have more servers.”

“That’s right!!! It’s better to have too much than not enough!!!”

The people invited to the launching ceremony were, first, the workers and engineers who worked hard to build Cherubim, as well as the partners who cooperated even though Janna provided the money, and various other people.

Although it is a sudden event, it is still a problem because there are no seats. It’s probably because in this civilization, Janna is a tycoon on the same level as Zion on the other side of the Earth, and there are other prominent people like me and Lord.

Even if it is a dimensional civilization, it is only a place where people live, although technology has developed in the end. If you are a celebrity or powerful person, it is natural to want to build connections. Rather, as much as they know what kind of position they are in, it’s bothersome that they don’t tell the truth and do it secretly.

In most cases, I would approach you with a smile on my face. Because if I make a mistake, I will know that I can’t say anything unless I make a mistake first or offend someone.

However, there was an unexpected guest that I didn’t even expect. A handsome man with blond hair who looks exactly like the Absolute Creator of Creation… But if you look at his facial expression, he has a blunt expression that lets you tell that he is his son and not the Absolute Creator of Creation.

“Hey.”

“What, why are you here?!”

“They said there was a launching ceremony. So I was invited. Delta Castle entered into a technical partnership to make it. And a dimensional navigation ship of that size was attended as a representative of Dmuni from the dimensional civilization.”

“But is it okay to give up all your work and come to an event like this?”

“If you’re going to make a fuss about it, just make a fuss about it. Honestly, I want to get rid of it, whether it’s dismissal or impeachment.”

“This is the Delta Castle you made!!! Hold on with your evil spirit!!!!”

“I don’t want to hold on!!!!!!”

Delta Castle is the best place in terms of technology among dimensional civilizations. The political system may not have been known in the beginning, but it is currently operating something similar to a presidential system based on democracy.

Although he could have ruled for a lifetime, he trusted the people of his own civilization and transferred power to them. In a way, it is similar to a child growing up and leaving his or her parents.

But… The problem is that even if representatives are chosen through voting, only Gray has been elected so far.

Not at the level of the founder of Delta Castle, but at the level of the first king. In addition, he is an absolute person who can destroy several dimensional civilizations with just one weapon. If you ask them to do something, they do it well, etc. Due to various factors, the people of Delta Castle voted for Gray and said, ‘Retirement was not permitted.’

What’s worse, even if the bills passed by Gray at Delta Castle are overlooked, if they try to pass something like a ban on reappointment, will the entire community stand up and protest? Even if it’s not an annual event, it happens periodically.

“Uncle Gray~!!!!!”

“Ah, hello Eden. Congratulations on the launch ceremony. And if you plan on manual piloting later, get your license.”

“I’ll practice later and get it!!!”

“Yes. Oh, and since I came empty-handed to the launch ceremony, I brought some equipment to put on the ship. I’ll send you a separate list, so check later to see what’s there.”

“Wow!!!! Thank you!!!!!”

As a castle lord from Delta Castle, he seems to have brought various equipment for dimensional navigation as gifts. Just like if you buy a house and fill it with furniture, you need either personal preference or basic living furniture.

Of course, I was planning on having me or Shion fill it in, but it wasn’t a bad idea for Gray to give it to me. They won’t give you something flimsy, but they will probably give you the latest equipment. In some ways, there may be better equipment than the equipment used in Horizon.

And when they heard that Gray had arrived, other people came out to say hello. Of course, the most surprising meeting was between Gray and Bloodier Lulu.

“Oh, it’s Gray. Hello?”

“I’ve seen this before, but it’s strange to see it again… I never thought the day would come when I could talk so amicably with Bloodier.”

“Honestly, I think I’ve changed a lot too.”

Bloodiers turn into berserkers when they see Gray due to their bad relationship. When you become a corps commander, you can control it to a certain extent, but it is like an instinct and cannot be ignored. Lulu, who is fine even after confronting him head-on, clearly shows that he has now become an irregularity even among Bloodiers.

I was surprised when I heard that we met and talked before, but it’s hard to say because it’s my first time seeing it in person.

“When I heard that you were engaged to Lulu at Delta Castle, they made a fuss about you completing your dimensional relationship. No, how could even Bloodier say that?”

“How did it happen like that?”

“Looking at it, it looks like you haven’t made it to the main show yet. Good luck.”

“Huh?”

“Even if they are Lord, all Bloodiers have the ‘absorption’ ability by default… So they can’t even be compared to monsters or vampires.”

Lulu likes by-products, whether it’s my blood or flesh, and things like that. And semen is also a by-product of my body. It can be ‘absorbed’ at the ability level, not at the absorption level. In addition, the physical capabilities of the Bloodier of the Legion Commander class are such that even a physical transcendentalist cannot overcome them.

The thought came to me at that point, and Lulu must have thought the same thing, as she looked at me with a very sinister expression and bobbed her head.

“Hey~?”

Aaaaa!!!!! Even Korma is too much!!!!!!!!
