020. Tides of the Legion raging like a storm (2)

There was a world where there was no light, only darkness.

There was a huge castle the size of a large city on Earth, and a man in a black coat walked slowly through the castle with his eyes closed and his hands behind his back.

Whoever could see it, he was the one who gave off the atmosphere of a king.

The person walking by him also had an unusual atmosphere, and his influence was unusual, as he could stop the man for a moment with just one word.

“A man with a [sacred sword] has appeared in the land of the goddesses.”

The man quietly opened his eyes.

“grandee.”

“Tell me.”

The man’s voice felt colder than polar ice, and the eerie purple light in his eyes made me feel like I was swimming in the deep sea, so I couldn’t tell the depth.

Even the highest-ranking demons with the status of ‘Grand Duke’ would unknowingly cringe whenever they met that gaze, which was an unavoidable instinct to feel fear at the majesty of the emperor.

“Is he stronger than his original master?”

“I am just a person with a [Holy Sword]. He is much weaker than an ordinary duke.”

“then.”

The man closed his eyes again and started to walk.

“I have nothing to worry about about the little guy. Ah, Grand Duke.”

“Tell me.”

The man stopped walking again and opened his eyes.

“Looks like some interesting friends have appeared on Nemesis.”

“These are strange creatures resembling spiders. They are not wild creatures, but they seem to be following someone. It’s a very dangerous race, so sooner or later, we’re going to send an army to get rid of Nemesis.”

“No, there is no need for that.”

An irresistible order came from the one who reigns over all demons.

“Open the [gate] as scheduled and point it toward Earth.”

“Ah, that’s right. Are you thinking of using them to harm the Earth?”

“The Archduke, please take responsibility and make the transmission a success.”

Before I knew it, the eerie purple eyes reappeared on the man who sat on the throne.

“This would make a great gift for those who refuse to admit defeat and keep playing with time.”

The basic strategy of the corps in my opinion is an extreme war of attrition based on man-made tactics. This world was not as densely populated as I thought, and each one was quite strong, but in the process of dealing with a small number of enemies, there was no better method than attrition.

As I expected, the dangerous weapon that the goddesses possessed quickly ran out. At first, quite a few soldiers died, but they kept pulling them out and pushing them in, whether or not they were contaminated with radioactivity, so it seems there are no spares on the other side anymore.

It seems that the Frakchi offspring of the demons on Earth used [Gate] to obtain goods and sell them there, but there are only a few routes that sell such goods anyway, and the quantity circulated is inevitably very small.

Anyway, those bastards.

In order to properly hit the corps, I had to shoot at the colony, so I accidentally shot at the troops and sat down.

【Arachne, are the food in the colony enough? What about Leviathan?]

―Lord, there is enough nourishment. Enemy corpses taste great and are very nutritious. There is no better prey than this to build an army of. Leviathan is now eating all the forests on the continent to fill his stomach and focus on digestion.

… … wait, is this weird?

【What tastes good?】

―My ruler, I don’t know why, but the mucous membrane made from human meat tastes especially good. Fragrant and sweet. It has a much richer taste than demon meat.

【… … Eat a lot.]

… … It’s a big deal. These guys have learned the taste of human meat.

I have a very bad feeling that something very big will happen when I return to Earth later?

Anyway, planet cleanup is going very smoothly.

In the place where the enemy was eaten, a new colony entered. It didn’t take long for half of the continent to be covered with mucous membranes thanks to hatcheries with superior digestive powers that devour forests, rivers, grass, livestock and human corpses.

Of course, my legion is now different from the starting unit.

As the planet is covered with mucous membrane and sucked up all the organic matter present on the land, the hatchery grows exponentially and the number of legions explodes.

Our corps is an invincible all-round corps that can do anything given time. Ohhh, am I the ruler of such an army?

Now there are only a few countries left on the continent.

As if they noticed that the fire had fallen on their feet, those girls called goddesses began to appear on the battlefield, but the war situation had already declined.

“Chief, bring 300 million wasps and destroy the kingdom that is fighting from the west. There are spirits or guys who use strange techniques that get in the way, but assassinate them first and put all your effort into it.”

“Johnny.”

Besides, I now have ’31 super-goers’ who will play the role of the corps queen. Because they were also created by inserting the queen’s genes, they were able to command the corps.

Originally, legion queens were so bad in their own power that they would lose if they fought against a warrior spider, but each one of them had strong powers, so the value of use was very high. Because the subordinates of the leader who fight together in the front are much more efficient than the queen who relays orders through jellyfish from the rear.

First of all, I couldn’t avoid unnecessary waste of nutrients by constantly plucking queens for command while building a new hatchery, building a bunch of tentacles, or leaving spider-like creatures to defend the base, but now that I have the cult leader and his subordinates, there’s no need for that. lost.

These are the ones who can defend the colony on their own without any defensive buildings or troops.

“Jinhyuk Kang. I’ll give you a queen who’s not very skilled, but has a kind personality, so bring about 300 million wasps and destroy the kingdom in the east. It’s a bit tricky because there are a lot of wizards there, but as usual, assassinate only those guys first. The Queen will take care of the rest.”

“zone… … I get it.”

I looked at Kang Jin-hyuk and said.

“why? You say your name too?”

“… … It is a mistake.”

This is a really funny guy.

“Hey, tell me honestly. Do you want to command an army too?”

Kang Jin-hyuk trembled slightly as if he had heard something.

“My brother knows everything. do you want to Do you want to build a colony, command an army of hundreds of millions, and shake off all the corn from the demons?”

“… … .”

“If you want, I’m willing to let you use the power of the Legion.”

His expression still hasn’t changed, but this guy, like me, must have a desire to lead an army that covers the ground and sky in pitch black.

It’s not just me who has gone through regression and the world has become a rag, it’s what this friend went through too, so I can’t help but want to become stronger than anyone else to protect my hometown.

However, there is an obvious limit to how strong an individual can become through training, and it is virtually impossible for a strong individual to protect the world alone.

I tried all kinds of shit in my motherhood because I wanted this guy to become stronger, but in the end, wasn’t he captured alive while being chased by the legion?

What if, in a situation where you have already experienced this limitation many times, you have the right to build a colony and command the troops in your hands?

To be honest, if I had been born as a human being and not a ruler now, and received an offer like this, it was an offer that I would have shouted “go” unconditionally. Even if I give up [Power], isn’t it better to be able to lead an army like this?

Of course, in order to gain command of the corps, it is necessary to open the ‘hive consciousness’.

There are two ways. That guy suddenly awakens to a level of psionic ability at least equal to my incarnation, plus amazing dominance, and a miraculous thing happens in which he becomes the subject of the Hive consciousness on his own, or simply immersed in a culture medium for a while.

… … In fact, the former also has a possibility. If you transplant the essence of the hive mind, there is a very rare chance that he will awaken.

Of course, I have no intention of giving away my precious essence. If he wanted the power of the Legion, he was going to allow it only to the level of Arachne’s level of dominance.

“Just talk. If you insert the legion queen gene into your body, you can do it anytime.”

“… … Han Ji-woo.”

With a pounding heart, I waited for an answer from my ugly friend.

This isn’t something I’m trying to bully or tease him about, it’s just saying that all my friends are doing well.

Because I can put a powerful weapon called ‘Legion’ in the hands of those who want to save the world.

Honestly, he’s more suited to being a hero than me, right?

“That one is bald. How can you not preserve the hair on your head?”

“… … .”

sorry. Now that I think about it, I think he was more like a devil than a devil.

The headmaster and his subordinates completely lost all existing hair roots because their scalps were changed to chitin when they were genetically modified by me.

… … No wait, are you rejecting the Legion because you don’t want to go bald?

“Hey, is that really why?”

Kang Jin-hyeok shook his head as he took out his [Holy Sword].

“I want to do it without regret as much as I can.”

“You know full well that it will be difficult to grow further here, right?”

“I still want to challenge myself to the limit.”

Kang Jin-hyeok’s face, saying that, looked somehow bitter.

That guy has already reached the maximum level while working with me on some operations. Even if he tried to learn martial arts from Master Jang Tae-sik, it seemed that it did not work well due to his constitutional problem, so there is virtually no way to become stronger here.

What can I do though?

I still want to try more, but I have to wait a little bit.

“Tell me if you remember. Just tell me and I’ll throw your offspring into the culture medium at any time.”

“… … I will go Is this the queen?”

“Yeah, he’s right.”

Paaah-!!!

Kang Jin-hyeok grabbed the back of the queen who was loitering next to him, and soon used his power to lead the army’s 300 million ‘wasp detachment’ to the battlefield.

【Arachne, send the main force to me.】

And I personally led the 2 billion corps and began marching forward.

300 million shooter spiders, 700 million land spiders, the rest are all warrior spiders and the main force of the legion filled with jellyfish for command.

Sitting on the back of a warrior spider, I arrived at the realm of the Goddesses’ last line of defense, quite comfortably, where I faced the toughest foes.

It is no exaggeration to say that the union of goddesses is holding out only because of that bitch.

“That bitch is the biggest problem.”

[The Earth Goddess raises the family of the dead.]

Soon, the land on all sides split open and a huge number of skeletons began to rise.

“A necromancer.”

The bones of creatures that lived and died on this land and accumulated in the strata were reconnected and moved, and even the chitinous exoskeletons of the dead Legion individuals became the followers of that year and began to gather on the battlefield.

Even though it includes all sorts of bizarre animals, the number of people that that bitch commands is not so low compared to the main force of the corps.

“It’s the most difficult power to deal with among the offspring of Lilith.”

If you look at the authority the opponent is using, you can get a rough idea of their origin. For example, [Gate] is the unique power of a fucking manager named ‘Demon God’, and [Necromancer] is the unique power of Lilith, the primordial demon.

So, behind this world of constellation games, there is always a deep connection with demons. This was also the reason why our players couldn’t create gates or items that crossed dimensions without the help of the manager.

Anyway, [Necromancer] is a very difficult power for players to deal with.

A dead ally rises again and stabs you in the back, and we are extremely repulsive opponents who have to hack up the corpses of those who were allies just seconds ago and crush them to powder.

Oh, just thinking about it, the memories of those days are terrible. After all, Lilith’s children are things that must be killed and seen.

Well, then what if the legion goes against necromancy?

“It feels like a star power fight after a long time.”

I, who had never met an ‘opponent with similar powers’, felt a strong sense of triumph for the first time in a long time.

In the original game, it is fun to play with an opponent of the same level as yourself. When you fight so fiercely and win narrowly, the pleasure is really great.

This is enough to be the opponent that becomes a game with my legion.

“Is this Legion versus Legion?”

Will this be really fun?

Let’s see who gets tired first between the ruler of the Legion and the ruler of the dead.

【Arachne, send all newly born entities here.】

-attack!

-enemy! obliteration!

-storm! storm!

Hyung scored a rally point.
