038. Alliance Dignity (1)

A huge object appearing in the orbit of Nemesis, it looks like the famous battleship from the famous game.

It was a shape I was familiar with, having played with models as a child. It looked exactly the same, to the extent that one could believe that a huge warship resembling a sawfish could fire a powerful main gun containing the power of nuclear fusion.

I’m not sure who the hell made that stuff, but it’s clear that he loved the game as a kid.

Anyway, the Demon Tribe children opened the [Gate] with their innate magical power and power, and they weren’t the ones who appeared from space riding something like that. They are the ones who get rid of it with their bodies in the first place and have no interest in science and other studies.

Thanks to that, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief from my worries about drinking. Because the incarnation that the Administrator will use is not yet complete, and encountering such a guy is bound to be very embarrassing.

However, just because the opponent that appeared is not a demon, I shouldn’t relax.

There are countless civilizations in the world, and I couldn’t be sure that they showed unconditional favor towards Earth or Nemesis’ legions. In particular, just by looking at the creatures of the corps, they look just right to be mistaken for those who bring about the destruction of the universe along with the unidentified flesh corps.

It’s a very short time, but I rolled my head as much as I could and predicted what would happen next.

All of the returnees said they had only been to a dimension with a lower civilization level than Earth. It was the same in all the dimensions I went through after leaving my motherhood.

If that’s the case, the people on the ship that could fly in space like that had no interaction with Earth’s humankind at all. Right now, even those who live on the blue planet in the sky are saying that they should launch a nuclear bombardment toward Nemesis just by looking at the appearance of the corps. would you react?

Even if the opponent was fortunately not a demon, the possibility of a physical collision was full and full.

In addition, there are not only legions in Nemesis, but also players sent by the district manager. As the ruler of this place, I have a duty to protect the lives of my allies, no matter how insignificant the force.

Anyway, if they get hurt, I have no face seeing the manager of the district.

【Jormungand, Moby Dick, Kraken. Go to the specified location. Zaira, Arachne. Prepare your troops.]

―I see, my lord.

-Follow the order of the ruler. Legion, move!

I immediately moved the legion and power creatures on Nemesis to prepare for that battlecruiser-looking thing turning its main guns at us.

I had never seen the power of that battleship, but the creepy feeling was a big piece of information that I couldn’t ignore as I used psionic energy. Because in order for me to feel this creepy feeling, I had to meet at least a Demon King level.

Booong-!!!

An army of wasps and jellyfish under my command colored the sky black, and on top of that, powerful creatures in the shape of jellyfish, whales, and snakes the size of asteroids settled down as if besieging them so that they could attack the battleship at any time.

If that battleship were to attack Nemesis, I would block the attack with the body of a Powered Creature for the moment and look for an opportunity to counterattack.

Right now, I’m in a situation where I can give up at least one Power creature without sparing it.

【Maria, be prepared to open the [gate] at any time. So that you can move immediately if you are attacked.]

-Yes, Master.

Leviathan is not involved in this operation. Inside that guy, who is no different than the flagship of the corps, the main body of the Hive Mind always rides.

I couldn’t grasp the power at all like that, but when I met an opponent who showed off a threatening force, the main body had to avoid the body unconditionally for the future.

We are ready to respond to some extent.

While I am amassing and deploying my legion, that battleship has yet to respond. I saw this as an opportunity and started thinking of a preemptive strike.

Although the distance is far, it seems that if I give up this incarnation and fire a [Blade of Lightning] with maximum output, I will be able to reach it just barely.

I’ll give you a warning, and if there’s no response, I’ll strike first.

【This is my territory. Reveal your identity.]

The moment I issued a warning to the unidentified battleship while emitting a golden aura in all directions, a message emerged from the incarnation’s copy system.

[An apostle on the 4004th floor of the Apostle Tower has appeared.]

[‘HQ Master’ requests to visit the alliance’s base.]

* * *

I sat idly in a chair and watched a man in uniform eating soup with rice as if possessed.

“Jiwoo, are you okay?”

“ah. it’s okay.”

The leader looked at me and asked with a worried expression. Even so, this incarnation is slightly exposed to the poisonous gas unique to Nemesis with bare body, so the physical condition is not very good.

Of course, since I have an extra body that I made in advance, I have no worries even if it dies.

Even though the leader knows that this body is not my body, I don’t know why he always worries about me whenever something happens. Rather, the person who is in the worst physical condition right now would be the person who has the worst compatibility with the corps.

Anyway, if you open the [Gate] now and bring in a new body, you will inevitably appear naked in front of guests.

Even if it hurts, it’s better than being embarrassed, so I’ll have to be patient.

“Wow, this chicken gaejang is so amazing. Are you the one who made this yourself?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Ah, are you the player who inherited your older brother’s [Holy Sword]? Hey, this is so delicious, but can I have another bowl?”

“Thank you for appreciating my cooking.”

Kang Jin-hyeok seems to have completely forgotten his duty. He had a gentle smile that reminded me of a mother watching her well-fed children.

Apparently, that guy should change his job from ‘player to save the world’ to ‘cook’.

“I really enjoyed the meal.”

“… … .”

Anyway, the man in uniform revealed his name only after eating so fiercely.

“My name is Jeong Seong-cheol. He was a first-time player, and now he is an apostle who is trying to acquire divine status in the ‘Apostle’s Tower’.”

“… … Well? Acquisition of godhood?”

“Yes. Well, it’s already ruined. Once blocked, I couldn’t get through on my own. Needless to say, that layer was too incompatible with my authority. ha ha ha… … .”

“… … .”

A man named Jeong Seong-cheol smiled brightly, and Choi Kang-han, who was the most knowledgeable and friendly with the manager among our group, tilted his head and sent me a look, saying, ‘Do you know what I’m talking about?’

―Hey, I don’t know too well, so ask that person later.

Of course I know a little bit. The manager had told me something similar in his biography speech. But I don’t want to know the details of that story.

The manager suddenly said something absurd to me, ‘It feels like seeing my old self’, and after hearing that, I had a very unlucky thought that if I made a mistake with the tower or something, I would get involved.

To be honest, I felt a little bad when the manager said that I looked like him.

I know I have a bit of an angular personality, but it’s not to the level of being very openly calm like that man, right?

Anyway, I wasn’t very interested in the story of the tower or the trials in the first place, and it’s annoying to explain it to the party, so let’s just skip it.

“So, why did you come to my realm?”

Jung Sung-cheol smiled at my question.

“Ah, of course I came to help my allies. I’m Woo-jae’s right-hand man.”

“… … Woojae?”

The party tilted their heads at the same time because it was the first time they had heard the name, and the man in uniform scratched the back of his head and said.

“It’s the manager’s older brother’s name. Um, I guess my older brother didn’t talk?”

“… … Not a single human player knows his name.”

“Oh yeah? Um, are you a wizard? The younger brother you said you were close with?”

Um, what is this person?

Perhaps realizing that I wanted a more detailed explanation from my gaze, a man named Jung Sung-cheol immediately began to reveal everything about himself.

“I am a person with the authority [HQ Master].”

“What is it?”

“This is a bit vague to explain in words, but once you see it for yourself, you will understand.”

And I saw

I had to see the scene where that man made a futuristic-looking building in an instant using thousands of drones, and pulled out armed humanoid robots and unmanned combat weapons such as tanks and fighter jets from the building. .

“… … .”

I thought that I was seeing all sorts of strange things in my life.

“As you can see, I am the headquarters of the Moving Mechanic Corps. The 4004th floor of the Tower of the Apostles is a floor that has scientific technology several centuries ahead of Earth, and I use that technology as my authority.”

When the situation develops at this point, I now see a scary-looking alien that uses powerful superpowers and develops nerve bundles and photosynthesizes instead of a mouth, or a winged woman emerges from among the flesh army and leads the group, slicing the demons. I was confident that I would not be surprised at all.

“… … Are future unmanned armies appearing now?”

No, the Administrator has such a strong power, but why hasn’t he helped mankind until now? If you can’t go out on your own, you should have sent an apostle like this instead, right?

It seems I am not alone in this thought. My old colleagues also glared at Jung Sung-cheol with very emotional eyes.

Of course, he smiled dejectedly and explained why.

“hahahaha, actually I only recently became able to use this authority. [HQ Master] is originally a development of [Defense Master]. You can properly control this HQ only when you realize the existing authority to the limit.”

wait, something is weird.

“… … yes?”

It’s the ability to pull out a new power turret that I’ve heard a lot about.

* * *

Anyway, soon after the powerful allies sent by the manager arrived, the ordered items were also delivered through the system’s mailbox.

[Dimension Movement Bracelet]

―A special custom-made bracelet made with the amazing technology of the Dimension Workshop.

―[Gate] can be created using divine power instead of magical power through improvement by replacing aliens.

After the supply of items was completed and everyone had a hearty meal, they gathered together.

They were all looking excited or determined, and they were already carrying bloody weapons in their hands.

Of course, they will play the role of collecting points and instilling the power of opening doors, and the basic battles will be fought by troops led by the legion queen Zaira.

I stood in front of them after everything was ready.

【He is the ruler of the Nemesis Corps.】

The authority called [Gate], which was originally born with magical powers and could only be used by high-ranking demons imprinted by demons, has finally returned as an item that even ‘human players’ can freely use through my hands and the hands of the manager.

【Now it’s time to counterattack.】

The huge gate to the demon world’s territory was opened, and the legion and humanity began to move at the same time.
