Chapter 499 – [A Guide for Transcendentalists Traveling Post-Apocalypse]

The Ryeong Empire was destroyed by the Great Demon King.

Realizing the reason for the destruction, on the one hand, all the questions have been resolved, so I feel relieved, but there are also problems that have arisen again.

Should I stop Baek-hee from rebuilding the Lyeong Empire?

Of course, the civilization that is rebuilt after the destruction is not the same civilization as before. However, if the person who tries to establish that civilization is a survivor of the previous civilization and continues the ideology, the story is different.

The same material does not make the same work.

However, it is only natural that if the creators are the same, similar works will be created even if they are not the same.

Even if you try not to do that, the fact doesn’t go away. Just as I, who is confident in my cooking, cannot deny that even if I make it without my taste, it will be buried even a little bit.

“Really, did the civilization of that time really perish by the existence of the Great Demon King? Not by anything else, but by at least three people?”

“It’s not just three people. It won’t take three people to destroy a star. One is enough.”

“Yes?”

I corrected what Jin-gyo said with an expression of disbelief.

It’s okay to hide in a situation like this anyway. I wouldn’t know if I just knew the Great Demon King, but as long as I am the Great Demon King himself, I have no intention of avoiding that responsibility. Even if I didn’t really like this job myself, I had to do my best in the job I was given.

“Honestly, I didn’t even dream that the Great Demon King would have ruined it. You guys are such a nuisance!”

“We’re running business, so don’t say anything. And I’m the one who came in after that, so if you’re going to argue, would you argue with the person who’s there now?”

One is lost, one is missing, and one is still alive and well.

If everyone had died, I would have been dumped, but since there is only one person left, it’s okay to ask him to argue.

“…I’ve heard a lot of stories and tried to figure out your true identity. But the more I thought about it, the farther away I went, and eventually I reached an absurd place.”

“Okay”

“I’m convinced this time. You must be the Great Demon King.”

“He’s not the one who destroyed the Anima Empire, but he’s at least the guy who works with them. Where are you going to hold him accountable?”

“No, it isn’t”

Baekhee let out a deep sigh.

It’s hard to know what the sighs are thinking, mixed with complex emotions. But at least there was no feeling of resentment there.

“In the past, the Empire pushed ahead with the development of a moon base or dimension because it predicted that this planet would be devastated over time. We did not try to purify the land we had polluted, we just tried to run away.”

“I knew it would be that way. For simple development, there was a bit of a puzzle since it involved even dimensional development.”

The time of hundreds of thousands of years that it takes for the spirit contaminants to disappear is not a very long time from the point of view of the stars, but from the point of view of civilization, it is more than enough time to perish a couple of times.

If we don’t find a way to purify that contaminant, we will eventually perish. However, if it was difficult to find a way to purify, there was also a way to choose to migrate to another planet.

They chose avoidance rather than face-to-face. And the Great Demon King paid the price for it.

Won’t you listen to Baekhee’s side? He can take sides personally, but not as the Great Demon King. On the contrary, when I know the details, I sympathize with the great kings of the time, but I have no more heart.

“We made a mistake, and it would be shameless to hold that resentment. Moreover, you didn’t destroy the empire just because we were the same?”

“I like an open mind. Well, I’ll ask you one thing too”

I want to ask you one question.

“Is the civilization you are trying to establish an Anima Empire, or is it another civilization that has risen from it?”

“……..”

This is a question I ask as the Great Demon King.

In fact, no matter which way you answer, there is no problem right now. It wasn’t that I beheaded Baek-hee here, and even if I judged her again, that would have been at least thousands of years later.

However, there is no guarantee that the answer here will not affect the judgment later. Because there’s a good chance I’ll be alive by then.

“If there is a mistake in the past, it is a law to correct it. But the name of the Anima Empire… I’ve lived my whole life to bear that name. But are you saying to throw it away?”

“It’s your choice. We respect people’s choices. In the end, wasn’t the migration plan that led to the destruction of the Anima Empire also yours?”

“Of course. The price for that responsibility was obviously the destruction of the empire. If you guys were really fair, at least there would be no disadvantages for this choice… How about it, am I right?”

“Yes.

“Then I will establish the Anima Empire again. This time you will unanimously acquit!”

“Do you think you can do it? Considering your lifespan, it’s only a few hundred years. There’s no guarantee that the people who will succeed the empire in the future will be like you?”

“So, I will lay the foundation for a 10,000-year empire in my generation. I will be busy and hard. But I will do it!!! I will proudly show that these flowers have blossomed on the corpse of the empire you destroyed!!!!”

“Ahahahahahaha!!!!”

Humans are fun too!

Even after seeing the existence of the Great Demon King and recalling her past memories, she made a choice to fight in a different direction.

He wouldn’t have said anything if he had established a country other than the Anima Empire. Rather, it was an opportunity to buy a crush afterward, but I kicked it myself.

Someone said They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

If so, on the contrary, it means that the road to heaven is paved with malice. Only those who are prepared to take on evil will be able to reach the kingdom of heaven.

“Then do whatever you want! I don’t know if it will be thousands of years later, but I’ll visit you and see the civilization you built! But then again, you won’t argue if you’re guilty?”

“Rather, the sea I wished for. I ask you to judge me unselfishly.”

It was worth it to bring her here. With her strong will and the equipment of this facility, she will be able to rebuild the Anima Empire.

And after the talk, we decided to take a little break.

Baek-hee’s will is strong, but her body is not. Efficiency and robustness are different, so her body is only hairy at the level of ordinary people, so the aftermath of facing the shocking fact came belatedly.

“And the next problem……It’s Ruri’s turn.”

“My turn! Draw!”

“Is it dog drip here too? Let’s be serious.”

“But my dream is right in front of me! It’s rather rude if I don’t get excited here! Oh, honestly, it’s a bit cheap!”

“I can’t use a girl saying that!”

Anyway, with this, there should be no problem in building the paradise that Ruri thought of.

More than tens of thousands of seeds in the facility, as well as other production facilities, it is enough to establish a large city beyond a city, or even a country based on it.

Not just such means, but also force. It seems that there is something like moving armor… Above all, orbital bombing satellites are at the level of the ultimate weapon, so they are rather full.

“If you use the facilities of the cradle, it will be possible to raise water resources from underground like the city of established settlers.

“No, that’s not it”

But Ruri shook her head.

…… Yes, that’s not what her paradise she hoped for. Paradise means utopia, and although utopia differs according to each era and world, it is the completion of the pursuit of happiness.

What is the majority of people worried about in this world? And what paradise do they think?

A world where there is no need to worry about drinking water.

“Looking at it, I think I know it. I guessed it halfway, but with this one, I can tell for sure. The water resources of this planet didn’t disappear outside the atmosphere. They disappeared deep underground.”

“It’s the law of conservation of mass.”

What if Utopia had judged?

The sun that descended on the ground would have evaporated all the moisture on the ground. And that moisture would have been blown into space and scattered. All that remains is a barren, barren star.

In short, it means that the maximum of the star’s resources is permanently reduced.

However, the opponent is the great king of nature and a descendant of the absolute of nature. They have absolute control over natural objects, but that cannot be denied.

In other words, the water resources that would have been in the ocean of this star are somewhere on this star.

“It must have been used to purify this planet’s spirit particle pollutants.”

I think I know what kind of judgment the great king of nature made.

All water resources were gathered and hidden underground, and contaminants were also purified over thousands of years by adding the self-purifying action and power of water. It is a punishment given to those who pollute the planet because they do not have the right to use the planet’s resources.

So the people of this planet always suffered from thirst.

“Water comes up from underground, and people like water lizards live there. It’s proof that there is an ecosystem of its own. So there must be water very deep underground.”

“How deep is it that it’s like that? In the city of the narrator Kiyoung, there should be equipment for digging hot springs, but that’s all…”

“At least a few kilometers, maybe? It’s just a level that’s easy to pull out. It’s likely that the real one is below the Earth’s crust. Even that is minimal.”

“Are you crazy?”

In fact, the surface of the star where humans live is only an eggshell level compared to the size of the star.

If the shell is thin, it is about 10 kilometers long, and if it is thick, it is about 100 kilometers long. If there is a water resource beneath it, it is virtually impossible to dig it out by human power.

“You’re going to dig that deep? No matter how thin the crust is, the time it takes to drill that far, the management required, and the budget probably…”

“That’s what we’re talking about when we try to monopolize.”

“……Right”

“Water doesn’t belong to anyone. It belongs to everyone. Some people die of hunger, but no one should die of thirst. In the paradise I want, that’s how it should be.”

Ruri was a mischievous but consistent child. At least the Luries had a personality that knew how to push to the end what they believed was right.

Paradise is called only when the majority of human beings regard it as such. A place created by a few humans monopolizing water is not a paradise.

“Yuto refers to a land that flows. But the only thing that flows here is the sand of the desert. I want to deny that and create a place that people can see at a glance as a paradise.”

“I have a rough idea of ​​what to do. Can you help me?”

“Ah, if the same science department helps, it’s a good thing!”

Shion also seems to have noticed Ruri’s thoughts. No, actually I was guessing.

The water resources deep underground are due to the power of the Great Demon King, so they cannot be easily raised. However, the underground spirit contaminants were purified, and their power must have weakened after thousands of years.

“Using orbital bombing satellite Mir, it penetrates hundreds of kilometers underground and digs a huge hole!!!!! “

“No, is that insane?!?!?”

“Is that going to happen?!?!”

Only Jin-gyo and Mu-hwa were shocked, but we decided that there was a possibility of our own.

If it’s enough to say orbital bombardment in this level of civilization, it’s not a form of throwing metal rods, but a form of heat rays. If it were to continuously concentrate its power in one place or fire it with enhanced penetration, it would create a hole to the depths below.

There’s a big difference between developing something and simply destroying it. Destroying and destroying is man’s specialty!

Of course, you don’t have to penetrate that far, because if you dig that deep, even if it doesn’t reach the groundwater, it will break the weakened bedrock and gushing out!

“Don’t you need a place enough for that? No matter how much the aftermath will spread widely, is there a place for that?”

“Isn’t it not enough to find a place where there is no damage, but to find a place where there is damage?”

“Ah!!!”

“Aim at the lair of mad dogs and kill them!!!!! How good is it?”

It fits snugly.

How to make paradise. And all those minor problems have been fixed. Even if it was a little lacking, I had the intention of using my strength. Their will was worth it and it satisfied me.

All that remains is preparation and execution. Even so, since Zion was there, there was no big problem. It’s just a detailed calculation, because it doesn’t mean much in front of Zion, who is like a human computer.

“Hmm, it’s all good, but it puts a lot of burden on the satellite for continuous maneuvering with emphasis on penetration. Probably because it was originally designed for single shots……. If we use it as we wish, there is a 70% chance that the satellite will be useless. Over”

“Does not matter”

“Are you really okay?”

“Anyway, in this era, armed forces are overflowing even inside the facility. Also, it is better not to have a weapon that can only destroy innocent people indistinguishably.”

It doesn’t seem like the person from the spirit empire that created that satellite has anything to say, but it seems that the horrible scene he saw in the village of figs is deeply etched in his heart.

She showed the qualities to be a sage. I want to see what kind of country she will create after that.

On the one hand, thinking like this means that even if I don’t like it, I have the inclination to be a great demon king. Hmm, this is a bit like that.

“Lastly, I want to say a few words to Jaeho and Yugui.”

“Is it possible to connect from here? Ah… If it’s military equipment, I guess we can connect from here too.”

“They’ll probably look at the communications log as soon as they get it and realize that we’ve entered the cradle. Well, it’s too late to run away.”

Unless he had the ability to teleport, and unless he had the ability to jump dozens to hundreds of kilometers at once, he was already certain to die.

As she is the last remaining human of the Anima Empire, she might need some time to let her go.

Soon, through the cradle’s facility, it connects to the bastard again.

From the other side of the connected communicator, the voice of Jaeho and Yugwi, full of embarrassment and anger, is heard. Right before she could say something, Ruri quickly made a playful noise to him.

-What is this…

“Hey there! We came to the cradle first and did everything. How do you feel now?”

-Yes, this girl!!!!!

Ruri’s Provocation!

The effect was awesome!
