Chapter 342 – [The Last Day on Earth]

Shion watched what was happening in China from beginning to end.

There were several means. It was okay to use Horizon’s facilities, use personal abilities, or use Reyes’ Dragonoid.

In any case, the means did not matter. What mattered was the process and the result.

They achieved their goal. Even if sacrifices were made there.

“How is your life response?”

[Currently, the physical life reaction to Hiei Hibiki is zero]

“Is there any possibility of resuscitation?”

[This is 0.012 percent]

“In the end, it’s just a game of probability… I don’t think a man like that will die easily.”

Transcendentalists do not die even if they die. The higher the realm, the more they are captured, destroyed cell by cell, and unless the traces are erased, they are not dead.

I thought the worst was dead, but there was a time when I crossed the road to Samdocheon and came back from hell with King Yeomra. So, in case something goes wrong, I keep the body that was reincarnated as his woman.

At the last moment, Hibiki showed enough strength that the observation equipment in Horizon slightly failed. If such a transcendental person has not found a body, he is not yet dead.

“What are the chances of humanity surviving?”

[This is 99.99 percent]

“…Isn’t that a calculation based on my interference? Subtract that.”

[This is 0.00000001 percent]

There is no absolute in this world and there is no perfection. It is part of the rules by which this world runs by the Absolute of Torsion.

Miller, Horizon’s main AI, didn’t say 100 percent and 0 percent odds, because that logic is built-in. Just put a number close to it.

[If the Mars migration plan continues, the survival of mankind will be guaranteed. But there will be a lot of losses out of it. Conversely, if you stop the migration plan to Mars, the current Earth’s technology will be destroyed.]

In other words, in order for mankind to survive, the only answer is to go out into space.

Of course, it shouldn’t be something like a rocket that only a few can escape. In order for the human species to survive, even genetic diversity must be taken into account, so thousands of people had to be sent to space.

And such a technology is yet to be found on Earth. In the end, all that was left was for Shion to use his hand.

However, Zion cannot help. If you want, not Horizon, but Shion can step forward and destroy all strongholds, and even defeat Gar-Rekal, the transcendental figure.

Of course, Shion is vulnerable to this ability. Like a race created by pouring their stats into the laws of physics, Hanon can perform magic-like things if they follow the laws of physics, but on the contrary, they are a race that cannot even learn this ability, let alone have resistance to it.

But that doesn’t make the difference between winning and losing.

After all, it’s a problem when you’re close, shouldn’t it be done from a distance?

“How do you estimate the opponent’s level as a transcendentalist?”

[Because it is not prepared at all times, surprise attacks work, and there is only partial resistance to physical attacks. It is estimated to be a walker class without ability]

“Hmm”

You can knock it down

Yes, as long as you don’t think about damage.

Transcendentalists who defy the laws of physics in earnest and develop tolerance do not eat common sense. Of course, from the load that has complete immunity to physical attacks, it is impossible to inflict damage to the extent that Shion is also called a no answer, but if you are a transcendental person below that, you have a chance to win if you go to firepower.

If you fire continuously throughout the day while precisely bombarding a beam that turns a city into powder on the moon, centimeter-by-centimeter, the opponent will die. Even if you have physical resistance, you can hit it with more than resistance.

Instead, the Earth will die.

“In the end, it’s best to run away.”

[I personally agree]

Anyway, Zion can’t intervene. Personally, and even with her possessions like the Horizon, the moment she decides to intervene, the Phantom will show up right away and return with a warning.

At least it’s because it’s Zion. If it was another Great Demon King, she entered the exercise of force. Even in that case, one star flying away is the same result.

If we can’t intervene, it’s a natural story that the earth will perish. So let’s try to preserve humanity as much as possible, or at least as little as possible.

“There……”

“Oh, are you here?”

“Were you working?”

“I was just checking something. It’s nothing special, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Ahhhhh!!!”

“But why does the doggie cry like a murloc day by day?”

“How does a fox cry in the first place?”

“What does a fox cry about!!!”

“Ahhhhh!!!”

“………..”

For a while, Yejini and Doggdangi spent time using Horizon’s facilities and getting to know each other with the Mars migrants.

Of course, he was not indifferent to the outside situation. In the state of the Great Demon King’s descent, he knew that he couldn’t do anything, so he left it alone, but now the situation is different, so he came to meet Zion in person like this.

“Anyway, I understand roughly what you’re here to talk about… But I also have an adult position. The only thing I can do is take as many people as possible and avoid them.”

“I was guessing to some extent. If it wasn’t for that, the uncle or the aunt would have beaten them all.”

“I’m not the kind of person that goes crazy like him.”

“Wrong?”

“…Honestly, that’s right.”

Ye-jin was kidnapped by Atlas and used as a test subject, so on the one hand, she had a realistic side of adapting to reality.

In a situation where nothing can be done, the only way is to accept reality. Even now.

“But there is one problem. Even if the current terraforming equipment is turned to full, it is not enough to accommodate people.”

“How much is missing?”

“Even if you calculate the capacity of Horizon and the size of the terraforming area of ​​Mars that will be in progress in the meantime, 100 million people is the limit even if you cram people in like bean sprouts.”

“1 million……”

The problem was time.

Horizon is not a residential or immigration ship, so the terraforming equipment it has is small. Mars terraforming is possible if given time, but it does not happen instantly.

In the first place, Mars colonists did not think too much, so terraforming proceeded slowly. The area that could not be managed was worse than none, so he was thinking of slowly increasing it.

However, I didn’t predict that the situation would turn like this… I don’t have enough time even if I turn it into full force right now.

Mars is a planet that is relatively easy to terraform, so if it wasn’t for that, it would take 10 years at least.

“Actually, it will be less than 100 million. If you squeeze people into one place like that, the damage will increase. Think of a crowded subway.”

“If the earth’s population is in the billions, but it’s less than 100 million…”

“But that’s enough to keep the human species going.”

It is an inevitable choice.

It is not the malicious selection of utopia, but the natural selection to choose who will survive.

Even chickens, if dozens of them are crammed into a small space and raised, nothing but mass mortality occurs. How much more are humans?

“How about getting more terraforming equipment?”

“If you use Horizon’s 3D printer, you can copy terraforming equipment, but that’s illegal copying. It’s unlikely that Weather Report, which sells terraforming equipment, didn’t assume it in the first place, and even if it’s not a regular product, you don’t know where problems will arise.”

Weather Report is a company under the command of Nightlord, but it is not a hogu like the person concerned.

Considering that it is used for planet terraforming, the price of the equipment is sold at such a low price that it is questionable whether it is profitable, but that does not mean that the equipment has not been prepared for illegal copying.

Because Restia Sullivan, the owner and developer of the company, is a genius in magical engineering, Shion can also have trouble in unexpected places.

Considering the field of terraforming and the issue of human life, uncertainty is worse than not using it.

If some areas appear to be terraformed, but the atmospheric conditions are the same as on Mars, the people in those areas will be annihilated.

“Actually, the only answer is to buy it. Even that takes time.”

“Is it far away?”

“Reservations must be overdue. I can’t buy it even if I pay more. And…”

Of course there was a way.

Restia Sullivan, the owner of Weather Report, is a member of the Night Lord’s Hundred Ghost Nights. If he has a close relationship with the Night Lord, one way is to obtain it through that network.

No, prior to that, if the Nightlord’s nosy personality was clear, he would come running right away and defeat Gar-Rekal or something and save the Earth.

But Zion did not.

“I’m a good person, but I’m not a nice person”

The Night Lord, who was noble enough to be called a great hero and recognized by other transcendents, was sure to help without any cost.

First of all, he’s the worst cousin and he’s strong, so things will be over in an instant. It will break through the base single-handedly and end without any problems.

Otherwise, the problem here is that the worst is the Great Demon King.

Even though he himself trusts him enough to entrust Shion’s treatment in the future…

“When I ask him directly, it means that he wants to solve the accident. Even if it is a simple transaction, there will be many problems.

Although the phantom and the worst are from different factions, the fact that they are close friends is because they have the same great demon king, although they have similar personalities and hobbies.

However, on the contrary, no matter how close they are, the Great Demon King and the Great Hero are at odds with each other. There was a line.

In other words, it meant that public and private affairs were divided.

“If it’s for my sake, who will care if I don’t take care of those who don’t take care of themselves? Even if billions of people die, if it harms them, I’ll throw them away.”

If you look at only one aspect, you might point fingers at Zion as ruthless and irresponsible.

However, Zion was already preparing to accommodate 100 million people and take care of them. Even though there is no reason to take responsibility for them in the first place.

I intend to take responsibility for that amount of life with simple sympathy and compassion, but if I say something just because I take care of my pride, that person is rather a person without conscience.

Again, Shion is a good person, but he is not a good person.

Once again, Yejin realized that.

“Okay. Her aunt is doing her best, so I won’t talk about it any more.”

“It’s not the best, but it’s the second best…”

“At least it’s the best you can do. Then it’s okay.”

Shion is not without guilt either. It just chose the worst than the billions of people who are about to die.

The noble choice of sacrificing one precious person to save humanity without a face is only possible for a hero. Zion is neither a hero nor a villain. He’s only human.

“Then I’ll go out for a bit and come back. I want to meet Baekri oppa.”

“……There shouldn’t be any problems like last time.”

“Ah, don’t worry. I’m coming to see you for a while.”

Shion glanced into Yejin’s eyes.

The expressionless eyes meet the eyes of a girl who is hiding something. Shion, who barely noticed, nodded slightly.

“Well, I understand roughly, but in moderation.”

“No, do you know what I’m going to do?!”

“Now that we’ve had some flirtation, it’s time for us to go out.”

“Because it’s not?!”

“What?”

Only the dog barks and expresses questions. Well, the dog…No, it’s not something a fox would know.

Shion gave her Ye-jin the right to use her Dimension Gate separately from her, and soon sent her to the place where her Baek-ri was. She sent it direct so she won’t take any extra time.

If Ye-jin is there, it will be enough comfort for Baek-ri who is heartbroken. Did she say that a crisis is an opportunity, and consolation together will have many meanings.

“Miller, please 3D print the latest version of item S in advance”

[‘Shotgun MK-38 for Fathers with Daughters for BFG vs. Transcendents’]

I don’t know about Shion, but it’s not the worst. Maybe when he comes back, he’ll be beaten to the brink of scouring 100 li like China.

Even as a Force user, Yejin is still a minor. Even if you don’t know the Korean law, the worst fist will not be tolerated.

You might kill her with your bare hands, so let’s grab her weapon.

At least if it’s standardized, it’s less likely to kill you.
