048. Legion upgrades (3)

Nemesis, the world of the spider army, the surface of this planet where you can see a blue planet in the sky is full of colonies as well as large and strange alien buildings resembling pyramids.

These buildings, which are sold for points at a place called Dimension Workshop, are evaluated as a kind of work that is said to be the most perfect building that creates a perfect environment inside.

There were quite a few cases in which players who did personal maintenance before going on an operation in the Pandemonium decided to somehow collect points, purchase this building, and return to Earth.

“How much did you say this was for?”

“A residential building is 3 billion points, and a summoning gate is 5 billion points.”

“… … Well, if I work hard on delivery, it will be done within this year.”

“Do you think it will be possible next year?”

Conditions in the war were so good that players had hopes of being able to buy these alien buildings.

As soon as you open the [gate] and enter, the territory of that dimension has already been devastated by the legion and the apostle, and the situation where only the corpses of the demons to be delivered welcome the players is repeated.

“By the way, the ruler is a really great nobleman. How the hell did he get his hands on the Legion?”

“I know. I’m not the King of Blades for nothing.”

After completing their mission, some players who were simply taking a break and drinking were looking at the building through the window.

The building stood tall in a place where huge dragons and whales circled around it, and that was where the ruler of the Legion, the Administrator of Mankind, and other people around him resided.

Players refer to him as the ‘King of Blades’, comparing him to a character in a game, but nobody knows that his body is in that whale.

“By the way, Mr. Choi is nowhere to be seen these days.”

“Oh, come to think of it, is that so? All of the recent operations were led by that pretty woman alone, right? Could it be that the Archmage is dead?”

“Oh no way. Didn’t you hear that he died? There wasn’t even a mission that was so dangerous that the player would die, right?”

Humanity’s strongest wizard doesn’t show up these days.

The players sat down to talk about the suddenly disappeared commander and watched the gigantic whale vacuuming up the surrounding mucous membranes.

Of course, the archmage they are curious about is now in the building in front of them.

* * *

Deep in the building where I live, there are research facilities full of cultures I have transported from inside the belly of a whale.

Normally, if I had nothing important to do, I always stuck there and conducted research, but now there’s one more guy there.

When I opened the door to the lab after a long time and went in, the wizard with the screw missing was smiling brightly, looking like a disabled person with a wide forehead shining.

No matter how long I’ve been sitting looking through a microscope, there’s a very clear round rim around its eyes.

That’s a really nasty venom.

“Jiwoo, you made something cool today.”

“… … .”

“why? Don’t you like it?”

Choi Kang-han is a human who does not know what he is thinking. There was always chaos, oblivion, and destruction in his head, so it was scary to look into.

Thanks to this, he has the ability to come up with ingenious ideas that even I can’t follow, and he has created many strange and terrible hybrids.

Of course, the objects he created were usually useless for upgrading corps power.

Where the hell am I going to use a hybrid that only appears in comics like the legion queen that embodies the upper body of a human woman? It was even so elaborately made that I was taken aback as soon as I saw it.

Other than that, the guy’s strange behavior was very diverse.

“Jiwoo, this time I made a new entity again… … .”

“… … What ability does that have? Also, isn’t it like the last time that the flesh tastes sweet?”

“Oh, that was just warming up. From now on, we are going to show a real proper evolution.”

Being able to somehow successfully create a genetically engineered object that others find difficult to succeed in this way was really a skill, if it was a skill.

Curiously enough, while researching the Legion entity, I really failed endlessly, but Choi Kang-han did it so easily.

Thanks to that, I highly valued the possibility that he could one day create an object of tremendous performance.

Choi Kang-han’s potential is much higher than that of an administrator from ancient times who can’t do anything to strengthen the corps.

And today, the long-awaited jackpot finally hit.

“Hey, I found a way.”

It was really strange.

That strange wizard found a method for mass-producing the ‘general spider’ that didn’t come out no matter how hard I tried.

Oh, this is kind of hurting my pride.

“What is that method?”

At my question, Kang Han opened his mouth, scratching the hair near the top of his head.

“Is it the invitation demon or something? This one is much more efficient. I’ve even hit a baby, but the efficiency is almost the same.”

“… … What?”

At that moment, a new corps object appeared from the pond where the first demon’s flesh was cultivated.

The one with a very strong looking shell and huge claw legs that looked incredibly powerful, its appearance was completely out of the category of a spider I had imagined.

“Hey, be careful. I really just put it in the culture medium, so I don’t listen to orders at all.”

He’s staring at me, snapping his claws very ferociously, biting into bubbling bubbles.

The identity of this object, which exudes the black aura that was felt from the blood of the first demon god, was a really ridiculously large snow crab.

“… … snow crab?”

“As you know, crabs and spiders are relatives with a common ancestor, right? So I tried putting it in, and the crabs got the gene really well.”

The back of my head tingled a little.

* * *

What a strange thing.

I don’t understand why the genetic information of life forms appearing in countless dimensions is not so different from those on Earth.

Neither the manager nor the previous demon kings knew about the origin of life scattered throughout the universe. Is there really an ancient race that sowed life?

Anyway, I looked at the genetic information contained in the blood of the first demon and showed a high match rate with the corps spider, so I thought it was really a spider species.

“It is deceptive. Apparently, the match rate was quite high.”

In order to induce fertilization by creating an egg nest in the hatchery, I had to use a gene based on ‘spider’ anyway, and as much as I believed that the blood of the first demon was derived from a spider, I put the cultured flesh into the improved spider to make a general. chose the course.

The problem that arose here was that if the spider-like object was cut and made into an egg nest at the hatchery, it would lose its ability and become a very ordinary normal spider.

No matter how hard you try, if you go to ‘production after cloning of genetic information’ rather than ‘transplantation of cultured flesh’, the phenomenon of diluting the information and producing a really large sandbag was repeated.

However, it turned out that there was an object in the ‘Earth Sea’ that had a much higher matching rate of genetic information than spiders.

Although the genetic information was similar, the problem of weakening ability was inevitable because they were related after all. If you insert flesh, it works, but the problem of not being able to pass it on to the next generation was in line with the fact that spiders and crabs, even if they are relatives, cannot create descendants.

“The first demon was from a race close to crabs.”

If a race with a higher match rate was used, this meant that the ‘characteristic of chewing away mana’ that the first demon possessed would not be diluted even in mass production.

I first improved the female snow crab into a hatchery, and soon hatcheries were completed in the shape of super-large crabs with legs off and stuck in the ground.

The large nests created by the hatchery in the form of crab shells were immersed in the nutrient-rich mucous membrane of the colony, waiting for hatching.

Their bodies were filled with the flesh of the first demon god, so they ate an enormous amount of nutrients from the eggs, and their growth was extremely slow, and they looked like they were bursting.

However, now I do the transplant work one by one, and the trouble of making a general spider is gone. The hatchery itself now took my place.

“Let’s see, where do we make this debut?”

While I was in such agony, the former demon king came to visit me.

“Ruler, the young lord you captured said that assassins have been dispatched to the first territory of the alliance.”

The debut location seems to have been decided.

* * *

A high-ranking demon wearing a black robe led his subordinates to secretly infiltrate the demon realm that was first stolen by mankind.

There are several continents in this territory, but one of them is not colonized, but instead, the players of humanity called ‘Remen’ and built a city.

“Damn you children. Youngji is like this.”

The high-ranking demons lamented what the invaders had done to this territory.

“Listen, everyone. We will push them out and replant our gardens on this land. Based on that vegetable garden, we will definitely regain this territory.”

Other continents have already been plastered with mucous membranes, and this land, the only one without colonies, has also completely lost its past, which was filled with the energy of the plants of the demon realm.

Asmodians are those who eat the energy and fruit produced by the plant as food. So, they were people who had no intention of understanding the world in which a new ecosystem began to bloom after all the plants were removed.

Small drones built futuristic buildings and tended forests, and turrets that automatically attacked enemies and unmanned reconnaissance planes roamed everywhere, the demons thought it was an act of destruction.

“This is their bridgehead. You have to hit unconditionally.”

This high-ranking demon, who was shady and shady, began to inform his subordinates of the detailed target while hiding in the shadows.

From his mouth came the strategy of destroying the players’ dimensional connection facilities, infiltrating colonies spread widely on other continents, and assassinating the governing objects.

“Failure in our operation is unacceptable.”

The name they call them in the demon realm is Demon Assassin.

The main task is to gather information or assassinate a target for a fee.

The identity of these assassins was a very secret organization known only to a very few high-ranking demons at the level of ruling the dimensional domain.

Since the clients were big-timers, most of the requests they received were for big-timers like ‘generals’ or ‘dukes’, which means their assassination skills were that great.

There was only one reason why they could receive a commission to assassinate such a heavyweight.

Demon Assassins are made up of members from a single tribe with a very long history, for the warriors of this tribe are born with the truly terrifying power to hide in the shadows.

“I will personally kill the apostle Jeong Seong-cheol. Operation begins.”

When the chief gave the order, the Assassins who sneaked into Limen, the first pioneering territory of mankind, completely disappeared as if they were melting into the shadows around them.

It was then.

【Giant Crab Troop Dispatch.】

Huge snow crabs began to come through the summoning door.
