Chapter 240 – [The Last Days of China]

I decided to think about it for a while. It will take time as more information needs to be gathered.

The unidentified information provider in Australia informed by Dr. Allian was Reyes from Delta Castle. There was a mutual misunderstanding, so it wasn’t strange to think so, but for now, I decided not to dispel some doubts.

“I-what will happen to me…”

“It’s easy to send you to Delta Castle for now. It’s easy to contact us from here even without a dimensional repeater.”

“It’s because Horizon is sick.”

The dimensional rift is a place where numerous dimensions are intertwined.

Depending on the distance between dimensions, there are places where the pressure generated there is not a joke unless you are a transcendental person, and there are places where even ordinary humans can endure.

In such a place, a separate repeater is needed to establish safe and reliable interdimensional communication. Without such dimensional repeaters, it is difficult to communicate in remote dimensions.

But our Horizon is the one who does the difficult things well. It’s not a dimensional voyager built by my wife for nothing!

“By the way, 1400 years have passed here as well, so how terrible is Delta Castle? It will take time to repair the dragonoids, and it will take a few more years at most to stay here anyway, so why don’t you do some work here?”

“What’s going on? No way…”

“It’s not like you think. We’re moving to Mars for some work, and we need someone with some brains.”

Even though Reyes belongs to Delta Castle, he has been in hibernation for a long time, so he is almost like a person from the Middle Ages.

His ability to learn is quick and he also has the basic knowledge, which is obviously helpful. In the past, he was recognized as a sufficient manpower even if he could read and write, but what about now?

If it is a dragonoid pilot, it is highly likely that he was an elite even at that time. He is said to have been a member of the 2nd Delta Castle in the first place because he was born with talent.

Honestly, it’s natural to manipulate at the genetic level. Otherwise, there is no point in doing so.

“We need someone to handle the terraforming equipment, and someone to think like someone to manage the colonists. Horizon has artificial intelligence, but it’s better to manage it with people than that.”

Certainly, artificial intelligence is convenient. However, human brains are better at judging in unexpected situations.

“And you have to have money even if you go back to Delta Castle. Of course, there’s no way they won’t give you the pension they didn’t get, so they’ll definitely give it to you, but how do you live with only pension for the rest of your life? Even if you go back, you’re not going to be a soldier, are you?”

“It is true…”

If you are a human, you have to worry that you will live for 100 years at most, but will this person live for another 1000 years? It hibernates for about 1400 years, but its lifespan is not easy.

“No matter what you want to do after being discharged, you need money. How about hiring them on generous terms?”

“Um… Is it possible to contact Delta Castle? I want to ask a few questions myself. I want to let my acquaintances know that I am alive.”

“I guess there are kids who live long lives? Okay, that’s about it.”

Leaving Reyes on the phone with Delta Castle, I went out and talked with Shion.

Suspicions about Reyes had largely dissipated, but they still lingered dimly. To solve it, the last step was required.

“How about that dragonoid’s black box?”

“Although Delta Castle’s Dragonoid belongs to confidential data, it is at most a third-generation device. There is no way I can’t hack it with my technology. It’s easy because the firewall has been turned off for repair purposes.”

“Then take out the communication log from there. I’ll see if it’s really Prometheus.”

“It doesn’t look like it to me, but would you like to take a look?”

Shion handed me a hologram screen in the air. I got used to it, zoomed in, and read the data from the black box on the Dragonoid.

Although this is not me, I am a Zion major, but it is possible to find and read the desired information. But I didn’t see anything that stood out to me.

“No…… I don’t think he’s the real culprit.”

“If I had deleted it, there would have been traces of it, but there really isn’t.”

“Besides, if you really wanted to do something, you wouldn’t have brought a third-generation dragonoid. It’s overbalanced with the current Earth civilization, but over there, it’s an old-fashioned antique on the level of a steam engine.”

“Anyway, it feels like Prometheus is separate. Hmm, I also looked for the data sent from China the other day, but most of them were research data.

“There’s something that happened, but I know it’s going to be fucked up if I get caught, so I’m not going to cut off the tail. But even that won’t last long.”

No matter how much you run away like cutting off a lizard’s tail, in the end, you have to have time for the tail to grow back before you can use that method again.

If you keep doing that, the body will be cut off, not the tail.

“Sweet, work is bothering me. Wouldn’t it be better to go to Mars first? By the way, where are Yejin and the dog?”

“I’m sure he’s hanging out in the facilities on board. Can I talk to you for a minute?”

Shion took a nearby hologram image and showed it to me. There, Ye-jin could be seen looking at the art pieces that Shion had collected.

Representatively, there are many works of famous artists, including Van Gogh, as well as ancient murals or other artworks from other civilizations. It was almost like the Louvre.

After turning on the communication settings, I asked Ye-jin.

“Are you doing well, Yejin?”

[Ah! Mister! When did you come?]

“Just now. But where did the doggo go and watch it alone?”

[Daddy was biting the Tyrannosaurus skeleton in front of me? I liked it because it was a bone.]

“Tinooooo!!!!!”

Like Munch’s scream, Zion screamed. In the past, the bones of Tyrannosaurus that Shion had been raising were specially treated and stored.

After some time, Reyes came here again, as if the conversation with Delta Castle had ended.

“You have a pretty good reputation, Mr. Worst. I thought all demon kings sounded like utopias.”

With a more comfortable face, as if he had heard anything, he called out the name used over there. I use the name Worst, but I often use the name Worst.

“That bastard from Utopia ruined all the images of the Great Demon King, but even I get offended if you treat him the same way.”

“Where do you think my husband is a psychopath destroyer? My husband is a personality-breaking murderer.”

“…….I think that’s where it is.”

“Honestly, among the Great Demon Kings, there is no sane person.”

Phantom has no visible arms when angry, Utopia is a psychopath destroyer, I, as I said before, a personality-breaking murderer, and Cienne is a crazy bisexual who enjoys a double personality.

I wonder if I can entrust such a person with the position of judging civilization, but on the contrary, since he has such a personality, he has his own ideology, so he took on the role of the Great Demon King.

We have absolute goodness in our thoughts and ideologies. Although he has already crossed another line, his judgment as the Great Demon King is almost fair because he cares not to cross that line.

“A lot of time has passed… There are already 5 Great Demon Kings, and Master Gray’s brothers are all married.”

“The famous daughter of that family is still a novice.”

“If the people of the Ryu family heard that, they would come to step on the entire planet.”

“I can’t say that”

The first one in that house is the one I killed before, and the second one is the same as me, the one who openly received the title of the strongest devil king.

No matter how much I can manipulate the probability, there is a big difference in power between manipulating 0.1 percent and manipulating hundreds of millions of decimal places even after zeroing. Can’t do it can’t

“I’ll help you for the time being.

“Didn’t the price of Delta Castle rise a lot?”

“……Please pay me a lot.”

“OK”

Delta Castle has a connection with Shion, not me. Some technologies are patented, and patent fees are paid, and the amount is considerable. Thanks to that, the money used there can also be given as a salary.

With this, I acquired one manpower to roll to my heart’s content. This is a good sister and brother-in-law, so he can’t complain.

“I could make a separate contract… But you shouldn’t say something about me killing people later?”

“Why? It’s a pity, but that’s the job of the Great Demon King, right?”

“Isn’t it? Hey, that’s why I like people with whom I can talk the best. My younger brother is a little cute these days because he’s swearing that he’ll stop me.”

“What is it… Fleas don’t know courage? I think there was a metaphor like that.”

“That’s one of Baron Zeppeli’s famous lines from JoJo Part 1, and it would take a long time to say the exact lines, so I’ll just tell you the most important lines. The human hymn is the hymn to courage! Human splendor is the splendor of courage!!!”

“Your wife is full of personality.”

“Well, that’s right”

People affected by typhoons may think that typhoons are just as bad.

However, typhoons have the effect of circulating the atmosphere and energy or making the water quality clean. Even if it happens intermittently or on a small scale, it is a disaster that must eventually exist. It is like a phenomenon that is necessary to maintain the earth’s environment.

The Demon King is like that too. If there is something in common between God and the Great Demon King, it is that it is for civilization and humanity, and if there is a difference, it is that God acts in a positive way and the Great Demon King acts in a negative way.

In short, there are those who give carrots and those who wield whips, and we are the ones who wield whips.

“The one who wants to destroy the system that has existed for a long time is one of two. The ignorant and rampaging Thunder Naked, or the greatest hero who knows everything and tries to overcome it.”

The former is on Baekri’s side, and the latter is on my cousin Gilhyeon’s side.

Personally, Baekri is cute and Gilhyun is exciting. If a kitten bites your finger, it just looks like cuteness, but if a tiger attacks, you’ll have to fight for your life.

“Phew, but it’s really fortunate. Had we fought, we could have been in trouble.”

“It would have been that way to be robbed… But if they tried to self-destruct, it would have been quite troublesome. Does the dragonoid have a self-destruct function?”

“There is, but it’s originally intended to be used against Bloodier.”

If a gas capable of wiping out the earth with cold air self-destructs, what would be the aftermath?

Of course, if the core, the debris collision energy generator, explodes, it becomes dangerous from the minimum planet level to the star system level, but even a self-destruction that simply explodes energy can lightly blow up one or two continents.

Then wouldn’t it be okay to just explode? On Earth, nuclear bombs are fired without thinking because they are powerful.

It’s not the power that’s important, it’s the law that is the problem after that. How hard is it to seal a dimensional tear? It’s not a matter of strength, it’s a matter of technology, so you have to spend tens of times more strength than a door like me.

“If both of us had gone a little further, we would have had a huge fight. Thinking about that still makes my stomach ache.”

“That’s right. To be honest, how difficult is it to meet even someone you know from across this wide dimension…?”

In an instant, the assumption passed by.

What if I didn’t know about the Delta Castle side? What if Reyes is just another drifter from another dimension?

If so, it would definitely have been a fight.

They may have fought until one of them died. It was mainly the opponent who died, not me, and even in the worst case, the dragonoid’s self-destruction would blow up the Australian continent.

If I had been a halfway transcendentalist at the level of 100 li, I might have lost my life even with that. With that kind of power, even Yonghayeon wouldn’t be safe.

Either I died or the other person died, in the end either one had to die.

Quite coincidentally, I, who knew about the other side of the dimension, met the guy from there and it ended without any trouble. We usually fight.

“Something’s strange? I’m feeling uncomfortable. It’s the feeling I get when someone takes advantage of me.”

“It’s strangely specific. Do you have the abilities of that side?”

“Yeah, it’s a ‘sense'”

“Ah! Is it the same ability as Phantom-sama?”

Those with great power are feared and feared by others. However, there will always be people who do not belong to it and want to use it.

This uncomfortable feeling is the feeling you get when someone tries to use you to make a mess.

My power is the law that I must wield. If a transcendent like me were swayed by others, there would be no such nuisance or disaster as that.

Establishing a unified planetary government is not a dream if I am used by an ambitious person. However, the civilization made up of terrorism will not last long, and I will die in 1 or 200 years, so the future is obvious.

So wielding my power must be done with my will. If you are used by others, your pride is also your pride, but a situation arises in which you have to take responsibility for what you did with the intentions of others.

In short, it feels like a guarantee line.

“A normal person would just pass it off as just a whim, but if someone with the ‘sensation’ ability tells it, it’s a highly reliable story. Does anyone else have doubts?”

“If they used me, it would be the people around me. I think I should think about it from now on, right?”

Who is the most suspicious?

I have a narrow relationship. If I find my acquaintances, at most I can count them by mobilizing my toes. In the first place, I was self-employed and I didn’t have many friends, so it’s only natural.

I quickly listed the names of people and thought about it. The most suspicious, the one who benefits the most. Who, who…

And my thoughts reached an unexpected person.

“No way…….”

I didn’t know that I would work so openly. In the first place, it is only a few special cases that I get out of my speciality of contemplation.

But it’s not entirely absent. Because there is no absolute in this world, and perfection does not exist.

It’s my fault for overlooking it, and it’s no one’s fault.

“Then I must be sure to do it…!!!”

I will make you pay for cheating on me. Damn, did you ever doubt who the bastard was?

I split the dimension and set the coordinates to a place I had been to before. It’s a place I’ve been to once, but if it’s on Earth in the first place, I can reach it, so there’s no problem in moving.

“Wait, wait. That bastard George is coming.”

“I have nothing to say about killing someone.”

“Have a good trip”

“The only one who sees us off is my wife.”

“Because it’s strange that someone lightly sees you off when you say you’re going to kill someone?!”

Ignoring Reyes’ tackle, I crossed the dimensional gap. There were researchers there watching with a bewildered look.

I growled at them and asked where he was.

“Dr. Alien, where did that bastard go?”
