033. with overwhelming power (1)

People were in shock. Suddenly, another moon appeared in the sky.

“… … What is that?”

“Are my eyes weird… … ? Why are there two moons?”

“What kind of fantasy novel is this?”

Ordinary people saw this strange phenomenon and made all sorts of guesses.

Some shouted ‘status window!’ and were pointed at as a person who received home education as a fantasy, while others called it ‘the end of time’ or ‘God’s miracle’ and incited people.

Anyway, the first day with an extra moon was a little confusing.

Unlike ordinary people, astronomers could not understand this strange phenomenon. It was a real shock to see a celestial body of that size pierce all observation instruments and suddenly appear out of thin air.

They immediately started observing this celestial body with all their might.

There are two more facts left to shock the world.

“trot! Discovery of extraterrestrial life!”

“A new planet appears in the orbit of Mars… … .”

As it became known that there was another celestial body that suddenly appeared, an atmosphere that the situation was unusual began to spread among the people.

In addition, when these unidentified celestial objects were observed with a high-performance telescope, it was even confirmed that there were a lot of strange alien creatures resembling spiders.

When the existence of proven extraterrestrial life was confirmed for the first time in history, it was such a huge event that it shocked even those who said, ‘Families are collapsing and societies are collapsing, and it may only appear in about a month.’

“Isn’t the Earth being invaded?”

“We have to stop them from coming down to this land!”

The world has become very confused. In the video sent by observers equipped with high-magnification cameras, what people have only seen in science fiction movies is happening in real time.

Those spider creatures were so strong and warlike that I wondered if they were made for ‘combat’, and the fact that they were roaming around the Earth gave mankind great fear.

“The World Security Council has discussed a global military cooperative operation in response to the situation, and in preparation for an emergency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is starting to develop a large launch vehicle capable of carrying large quantities of nuclear warheads… … .”

People packed their own survival bags despite being told not to do so, and the number of young people volunteering for the army increased dramatically.

A typical apocalypse atmosphere was formed, as if the end was just around the corner, and it would not be strange if war broke out with that hideous and powerful alien race at any time.

Of course, this is for the general public.

“What the hell did the manager do?”

“I don’t know, I think the nobleman hired him as a mercenary this time.”

Players were not particularly agitated by this strange phenomenon.

“Hey, the manager is really big. No matter how you look at them, don’t they look like they’re stronger than demons?”

“… … Hey, how unreliable would we be to hire people like that? Isn’t this something that should hurt your pride?”

Players who have directly experienced the absurd power of regression know better than anyone else that there is another world out there. In the first place, demons themselves are alien creatures, so there is no reason to be surprised if something more pops up here.

Above all, they are well aware of the fact that there is a being with great powers who can suddenly do such nonsense. The existence of that powerful authority is still managing them very frugally, so they couldn’t possibly be aware of it.

If those unidentified celestial bodies were dangerous in the first place, there would have been a word from the manager. But now it’s a very peaceful situation with only ‘normal missions’ coming down every day.

Thanks to that, none of the players doubted that the appearance of those celestial bodies was the work of the Administrator.

“Hey, the manager’s special mission has come down.”

“It’s a special mission in a while.”

“The apostles of the proud manager who fought for the sake of mankind. You are irreplaceable and valuable talents who will prepare for the war against the demon lord.”

“That nobleman always says that. Aren’t those lines really boring? If it’s such a precious talent, why don’t you save it?”

“So that is it. He gave me something the size of a rat and pampered him, really. Do you have no conscience?”

The players cursed at the manager and carefully read the contents of the mission he gave them. However, the eyes of those who read the message began to widen.

★ The goal you guys have to work on

「Exterminate the territories of the underworld together with the ‘corps’. The goal is to strike indiscriminately against ‘all dimensions’ possessed by the Demon Realm. A dangerous mission to an extraterrestrial dimension. don’t say everything Applicants are accepted.”

This message was of a completely different nature from the usual missions.

The players opened their mouths at this unconventional content and had time to look back at each other.

“… … Is this a true story?”

“Is this a crazy, Pandemonium preemptive strike strategy?”

They were players who had never directly hit the territory of the Pandemonium after going through three rounds of war.

The impact of this administrator’s mission on players who have always struggled to prevent the destruction of the Earth was enormous.

★ The reward you guys will receive

“The authority requested by the applicant. Bastards, I am very poor because of war maintenance costs. You guys don’t know how expensive the power rental fee is, right? Go with the ‘corps’ and catch a lot of demons and deliver them. Then I’ll sell it and buy the powers for the applicants and put them in.”

The players looked at each other.

“Fuck, it gives you power.”

“I have to go. this is a must go I’m going to break the earthen pot, you bastards.”

These are the ones who have more greed than anyone else to become stronger. Since they know very well that they have been defeated in the war against the demons because they themselves are weak, the reward of additional power is bound to be very attractive.

“Asmodians bastards.”

“Kill them all. Deliver everything.”

In an instant, about 10,000 players spread all over the world completed their support for the ‘Pandemic Strike with Corps’ operation. Those who accounted for more than 30% of the total power wanted to break the demon’s earthenware pot.

Applicants were given suits with reinforced pressurization and breathing functions provided by the manager, and a new message appeared in the eyes of those wearing these suits.

“Would you like to move to the Legion’s planet ‘Nemesis’?”

“move.”

* * *

[Legion Planet Nemesis]

In real time, players from Earth were coming over to Nemesis.

“… … What tyranids are these?”

“What bullshit is that? They look just like zerg to me.”

“You fools. This is a live-action version of Arachnid.”

The faces of the players who witnessed the land covered with mucous membranes, the densely packed hatchery, and all kinds of corps objects were truly spectacle.

Some couldn’t hide their expressions that the environment itself was terrifying, while others were busy observing the Swarm entity up close.

Flash-!!!

“Guys! do a lot of deliveries This is really expensive.”

When all the players who applied for the operation arrived, the manager’s system summoned a massive pyramid-like building and released it onto the surface of Nemesis.

Those buildings were specially ordered by the manager at the workshop of dimensional artisans, and they were lodgings that almost perfectly reproduced the environment of the earth indoors with various powers painted over.

Of course, I also tore down one of my own buildings.

“Attention everyone! I will arrange accommodation for you.”

After a while, the wizard with the screw missing and the leader who hid the power led the players, divided and assigned the lodgings, and gave simple education such as future missions and precautions for living in the dorm. Those friends will lead the players from Earth in the future.

Players will now rest for a while, and go straight to the operation as soon as the target of the corps’ attack is determined.

“Well? Is it okay for Garam Lee to walk around like that?”

Kang Jin-hyeok, who brought the fried chicken from a large pan on a plate, showed a slightly surprised expression when he saw the leader hiding his power freely wandering around Nemesis.

“Oh, it’s okay. That [alter ego] is.”

“… … What?”

“The manager saved me the [alter ego] power.”

“… … [alter ego]? Isn’t that a very rare advanced power?”

If the manager really put his mind to it, there was nothing he couldn’t save. This is a story I heard from an elderly person, but managers said that there is a dedicated system and you can really do anything here as long as you pay points.

Ah, some bad guys who hate the world like demons didn’t join the system, so they couldn’t get their exclusive powers like [Gate] or [Necromancer].

Thanks to that, I sold Maria’s authority information at a very high price.

Purchasing a building containing authority or renting the authority itself is so expensive that even the manager freaks out.

Ah, it turned out that planet transfers were also done with points.

The manager’s rhetoric about probability was bullshit, and he made an excuse because it was burdensome because it cost too much money.

When I told them I was selling [Gate], they really laughed out loud.

Anyway, the roles that Earth’s players will take on in future operations are ‘security management’ and ‘delivery’.

They did not come here to fight fierce battles risking their lives for a grandiose purpose, but they were dispatched to earn points equal to the amount the manager spent.

Of course, they have no idea what their use is. That’s why I’m thinking of leaving it to the players when a suitable level of combat situation arises.

“Right. Then, what about Lee Garam’s body?”

“Oh, I went to the hospital on Earth. It seemed that even if I took medicine, the allergy could not be helped. You will be hospitalized for a while.”

“… … .”

After hearing my explanation, Kang Jin-hyeok began chewing the chicken until it turned into chewing gum with sullen eyes. No, why is this child suddenly doing this?

I used my ESP ability lightly to examine his surface psychology.

―To give [another self] to a guy who uses Kwonbeop, if this happens, I will never be able to beat Lee Garam.

―Damn it, to give such power to a guy who always spread out while screaming and sleeping. Han Ji-woo, isn’t it really too much? The me who cooks every day and goes on missions together? Couldn’t you give me at least one authority?

“… … .”

Wow, this bastard was really narrow-minded than he looked.

“Kang Jin-hyuk, I only gave it to you because of an allergy, not because you were sick.”

“… … .”

Kang Jin-hyeok didn’t listen to me properly, and just chewed the chicken in his mouth in a daze with the momentum to digest it with only amylase.

“Hey, Kang Jin-hyuk!”

“yes?”

“What are you thinking?”

“… … Oh no. It is nothing.”

Nothing.

This bastard is mad at me now.

Anyway, with this I have built a very complete earth defense operation.

First of all, they will have to face the mother legion before reaching Earth. Even if they take over the hometown safely, they will be doubly defended by having Nemesis, the main force of the Corps, circle around the Earth.

When the war started, the demons had to deal with the corps unconditionally.

“Now then, let’s look for the next target.”

I opened the dimensional map and began to carefully examine the area marked as the territory of the demons.

The time has come to show the demons the overwhelming power of the corps in earnest.

“Now, the first strike target is… … .”
