If you want peace (3)

Dimension ‘Buffelon’.

This is a world that is considered to be the headquarters of the Demonic Beast Army and the headquarters of ‘Shadow King Balthazar’.

One of the worlds that mankind fears the most, where an army of monsters roars across the horizon beneath the feet of Baltazar, who reigns like the sun.

Such a demonic realm was now in ruins and burning.

“…the first star. Is that woman finally moving?”

A huge shadow sat on the throne piled up in darkness.

He lifted his face, dark as an abyss, and gazed out at the ruins of Buffelon.

“It’s beyond imagination.”

At the time of Omen’s invasion of Helios, most of the armies stationed in Buffelon went to different dimensions.

All the top-notch monsters headed to the battlefield, and Baltazar had no doubts about victory.

Their new weapon, ‘Abyss’, which was completed by destroying the world of the snow leopards, was not something that could be stopped only by the low power of mankind.

However, the whole situation developed beyond Baltazar’s expectations.

-···Helios invasion failed. Confirm Omen’s death.

A warrior of Omen heard from across the dimension.

And, without even being surprised by that, the first star, ‘The Most Holy Sky’, came directly to Buffelon.

The divinely shining light looked down on Baltazar’s land and pronounced a single word of judgment.

[God punished]

A feast of starlight filling the sky.

Buffelon was completely devastated in front of a storm of light and fire.

It was an overwhelming disaster itself that covered the entire vast wilderness.

In the blazing flames of holy power, the land of Buffelon burned like hell.

[Know your sins]

Baltazar sighed in front of a voice that resonated throughout the sky.

The main force left for the front, and Omen died.

Since there were no troops coming to stop Laniakea, Balthazar rose up and confronted her.

“·······.”

The battle that overturned heaven and earth continued for five days.

Baltazar, who flew to the outer dimension, was obviously strong, but not enough to defeat the Empress of the Constellations alone.

Although he succeeded in draining most of her powers, he ended up losing Buffelon.

“How is the dynamics of Arachne and Ouroboros?”

He questioned the servant who guarded his side.

A man who had been bowing his head prostrated himself on the spot and answered.

“The trend is to strengthen the base’s defenses.”

“… I guess so.”

You never know when the first star will strike again.

Of course, now that she is fully prepared, the possibility of her going to war again is slim, but she didn’t know that it was worldly affairs.

The other two corps commanders must have been nervous too.

“Besides, since Omen is dead…”

no one expected

There must have been no one in Helios at that time who could stop Omen.

At the last moment, he died while posting a death-like report.

– The Shinigami is alive.

Reaper.

As far as Balthazar could remember, there was only one existence that the Witchbeast called that.

reaper to prepare.

The great enemy of the Witchcraft is alive.

“If this is true, you’ll have to be careful.”

If the ‘reaper’ who killed Diablo was still alive, this was not a problem to approach easily.

Perhaps, it is an issue that could act as a threat to the entire demon army.

“Humel.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The prostrate man replied.

A human with a single horn sprouting from his head and an appearance resembling a beast.

He was a demon who turned to the Witchbeast and swore allegiance to Baltazar.

“Begin the investigation of the ‘preparing god of death’.”

“Are you infiltrating Helios?”

“No. There was an intelligence that he was moving to another dimension this time.”

Balthazar’s darkness spread, revealing a deep place in the realm of mankind.

“Genesis.”

The dimension where ‘Central Police’, the headquarters of mankind, is located.

Showing the place, the shadow commanded.

“If it’s you, you should be able to infiltrate here.”

“Yes.”

It’s dangerous.

It is the only space where even the confidential information of Helios can be read, but this is the center of the human realm where numerous constellations stay.

The man called Humel is a demon who has attained the rank of a top-notch witch, but even he was dangerous at the center.

Even though he had to risk death to enter, Baltazar did not change his command.

“The Death God who prepares… Be sure to find out what kind of ‘preparation’ he is doing and come back.”

“… honorable name.”

Humel bowed his head with all his heart.

Calibration of Helios over the weekend.

In the place where the school was closed due to restoration work, Skadi was lying around in the room for a long-awaited break.

An isolated cabin built near a winter forest.

She was looking out of the snow-covered window uncharacteristically for summer, brooding over the attack the other day.

“He really came…”

Before Kang Yoo-jin left, he asked her for Helios and said that he would definitely come back.

Since it was her mission to protect Skadia Helios, she nodded happily, but she didn’t think deeply about the promise.

Then Omen appeared, and the situation was pushed to the bottom.

No one thought that the situation could be overcome.

can’t come

Skadi thought deep down that he would not be able to keep his promise.

However, Yujin Kang has returned.

Despite knowing all the risks, he returned to keep his promise.

“I thought you couldn’t come.”

Promises to Skadi were meant to be broken.

A promise from my family that if I become an outstanding wizard, they would come pick me up.

The promise of the classmates to help protect their hometown.

The military’s promise to send reinforcements if you hold on a little.

None of them were kept.

In the face of trials, the oath of promise was so weak that it was always broken.

‘They really came.’

‘Because he said he’d come.’

However, Kang Yu-jin was not.

He has returned to the battlefield where victory and survival cannot be guaranteed.

When he came back, he covered Skadi with his broad back and protected him.

“·······.”

It was the first time.

such a person

The look that told me that I would not abandon you with an unfeigned look.

A person who did not abandon me no matter how dangerous the situation was and came to me to keep his promise.

And···.

‘We have to live for tomorrow.’

One day, even in a world that was destroyed, he did not abandon himself and said so.

Whenever he recalled that memory, Skadi’s heart skipped a beat for some reason.

“Ah. I must be seriously ill…”

It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to feel at this age.

As I hugged my fluffy tail, I felt the sound of my heart pounding.

The heartbeat that I felt when I remembered someone was such a pleasant echo.

Her gaze, thrown into the room, suddenly turned to Yujin Kang’s hat, which was placed on the bedside.

“·······.”

I picked it up with my hand and sniffed it.

Perhaps because it was something he always wore, Kang Yu-jin’s body odor was thick.

“This person doesn’t even smell weird. Does he wash every day?”

I didn’t know he wore the same clothes every day, but he was a neater man than I thought.

She buried her nose in the hat for a while and savored his body odor.

“Do I look like a pervert…?”

I had a sudden thought, but I quickly forgot it.

What do you think? That no one sees anyway.

“Hi-Hi···.”

A smile forms on your lips.

I brought it out of anger, but I thought I did well in my heart.

Seeing that Yujin Kang doesn’t say much, isn’t that person more lenient towards me than I thought?

“… this is not the time.”

This is not the time to be complacent.

I don’t know who the girl next to me was, but it’s clear that he’s still stuck with Yujin Kang.

Kang Yoo-jin won’t fall for such a child, but it’s the woman’s psychology that worries me nonetheless.

Skadi started thinking about an excuse to go see Yujin Kang.

It’s too obvious to break into the office…

“Shall we go somewhere to play?”

It’s closed anyway, so there’s nothing I can’t go to.

Even though I have a lot of work to do, I don’t think I can go if I ask to go to cool off.

As I grabbed my watch and stared at the screen, a loud ringing sound rang out.

Brilliant-

“Ugh!”

I was startled and looked at the screen, and the caller was ‘Kang Yu-jin’.

What happened to the person who kept in touch like beans in a drought?

Could it be because of taking the hat?

“Oh, no no. Phone call…”

If a phone call comes in, you have to answer it.

Skadi calmed down with a deep breath and carefully pressed the call button.

“Hello?”

– I will.

“Ah, ah~ yes yes. What is it, what is it?”

No, why is your voice stuttering so much?

I was startled inside, but Kang Yoo-jin across from me answered as if he didn’t care.

-I’m going to go to Genesis Central Police tomorrow.

“Ah~ that’s what I said last time? But didn’t you say you had a job?”

– I’m done.

You’ve already done all of that?

Is this man a god of paperwork?

-So by the way, would you like to go with me?

“Uh…? Together?”

-Yes.

Skadi’s expression stopped.

And, the answer that followed was almost a close cry of a conditioned reflex.

“I’ll go!”

-Then I’ll wait in front of the warp gate tomorrow.

“okay!”

pop-

“What kind of big deal is this…?”

He jumped up from the bed and ran around the room holding his tail.

This must have been heaven helping him.

Otherwise, there’s no way things could work out like this, right?

“Clothes~Clothes~”

Skadi, who was rummaging through the closet looking for clothes to wear, was humming a song with a wide smile.

It was clearly a song of joy that had never been heard in her life.

central dimension.

Located in the center of the dimension, the world where the headquarters of the Union is located, ‘Genesis’.

The magnificent building forest of Central Police, which entered there, is busy with public officials who come and go today.

There are various secret facilities in Central Police that are not even accessible to non-high-ranking people.

There are intelligence agencies targeting demons, and development agencies that collaborate with the military to create weapons.

and deep underground in Centralpolis.

Voices were coming and going in the deepest part of the ‘development agency’ where weapons development took place.

“Are you here, Professor Lapless?”

Machines and magic circles, and the occasional metallic sound.

In the gloomy development building, Professor Lafless looked back.

“Why did you come here? It’s not good because the head of Deneb keeps coming and going.”

“Ah~ I came because I have news to tell you.

As if to answer the drowsy voice, the person who asked the question appeared under the light.

It was Sergeant Claire, a woman with light purple hair and a grin.

She said with sunglasses on even in such a dark place.

“I think Professor Yujin Kang is coming here.”

“Looks like you’re in favor of the consortium.”

“It seems like that. If you look at that person, is he really serious about hunting monsters?”

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he stopped Omen’s attack by himself.

Even though he would be more tired than anyone else, he continued his work without a break.

While working on distributing rotating body kits, thesis review was conducted at the same time, and this time, a consortium was decided to participate.

It was such tenacity that Lafless, who is usually called a workaholic, would stick out her tongue.

“I have to prepare myself. I am one of the members of the consortium.”

“Yeah. It’s the same for me, so I came here with both sides.”

Then, Claire turned her eyes to the huge structure in front of Laflis.

There, there were countless magic circles and spheres wrapped in pipes.

Claire’s eyes read the name ‘Project: Tartarus’ written in old letters on the outside.

It was a top-secret long-standing research in Central Police, being carried out in conjunction with the military’s ‘Artificial Constellation’ project.

“Is this still in place?”

“Yes. It’s not that easy to have a weapon that utilizes the sympathetic nervous system.”

Although Yujin Kang recently published a study on the sympathetic nervous system, research using it has been ongoing for a long time.

Tartarus was one of them, and it was a weapon that reversed the information contained in the sympathetic nervous system of the beast.

There is something called ‘information fragment’ in the sympathetic nervous system of the Witchbeast.

Because they are constantly connected to the ‘sympathetic nervous system’, it refers to the fact that the ‘pieces of information’ that make up them are left behind like debris in the network during the communication process.

That information lingers in the depths of the sympathetic nervous system even after the beast dies, scholars thought.

If all the pieces of information were gathered and combined, wouldn’t it be possible to download the full power of the monster?

It’s like falling into a black hole and re-extracting fragmented information in its entirety.

“Honestly, it’s unreasonable.”

“Is it too difficult to complete?”

“Yes. To be honest, I didn’t expect much. It’s better to think no.”

The idea was good, but the premise itself was absurd.

The sympathetic nervous system itself was difficult, and in order to gather the information that had been broken, the nervous system data of the entire race, including the beast, was needed.

Naturally, there was no research data that interpreted the sympathetic nervous system in such detail that the research itself was sluggish.

Research in Tartarus continued in place, and even now, decades later, no significant progress has been made.

Laflis had been in charge of this along with the Constellation Project for quite a while, but expectations for completion had long since given up.

“Professor Yujin Kang’s research seems to have sparked expectations from the upper management, but this cannot be completed without analyzing the entire sympathetic nervous system of a species.”

“Are you saying it won’t work in the first place?”

“Yeah.”

If you complete it, of course it will be good.

Because it means that mankind can draw and use the magic beast’s lost power.

Since the sympathetic nervous system is everywhere where demons are present, resources never run out.

But what can’t be can’t be done.

There is a reason why the project has been in place for decades.

“There was a saying that I should just show this to Professor Yujin Kang.”

“No matter how much this person is, it’s no big deal, right?”

I admit that Yujin Kang is a great person, and I also admit that he is an authority on the sympathetic nervous system.

However, Lapless thought that this was impossible even for Yujin Kang.

This is not creating a new sympathetic nervous system, but digging up the existing nervous system.

Because it was a research that was only possible if you knew the perfect nervous system network of that species.

“An ‘intact’ sympathetic nervous system of one race… is impossible unless he becomes the ‘King of the Beasts’.”

“Hmm···.”

Is it like that too?

Jeop… Claire smacked her lips.

If it’s Lapless, then it must be so.

After all, she’s the military’s technical advisor and chief researcher.

“This will be disposed of sooner or later.

“Yeah~ But I’m a bit disappointed…”

“It’s better to focus on the consortium. Honestly, you know there’s a lot of research that needs to be sorted out like this, right?”

“That…well. That’s right.”

It was a chronic problem not only in Central Police, but also throughout the Picatinny Society.

Since the research topic was Jung-gu heating, it was necessary to organize it extensively.

“Well… let’s discuss that later.”

So, the two went to the development building.

With a thud, the covered notebook was thrown onto the desk.

There, the phrase ‘abandon research’ was written in small letters.
