071. The protagonist has no mercy

I obtained various ancient powers preserved in the pond of the beginning, and waited for the ruler of disaster to reappear.

【Ugly bastard. Are you afraid of me?]

The Master of Calamity is now hiding in the farthest corner of the battlefield, but I could see very clearly what he was looking at and what kind of expression he was making.

As a byword for unkindness, he still didn’t answer my question, and likewise, he didn’t make any facial expressions. On the surface, it doesn’t look much different from before.

But he didn’t react, even though he knew that I was staring at him through the legion’s jellyfish.

The reason why that goddamn bastard was so helpless right now was simple.

The ugly brother of calamity has poured all his power into preparing the one shot that will blow the entire legion into space. However, after I blocked his prepared move with the same technique, I felt a very strong sense of lethargy that I had never seen before.

Except for her ability to manipulate space freely, she was no different from an ordinary legion queen passing by.

What’s scary about him is that he can open portals in the sky and blow me into strange spaces, or do ignorant battlefield interventions like running a vacuum cleaner or raining down meteorites.

【Can’t run away anymore?】

Of course, now it’s just an empty can that has exhausted all of its mental power in a single shot.

【You bastard, let’s hit it for now.】

The Legion’s calamity hunt is now at an end.

* * *

When the head of the Balaur, like a powerful aerial bomber, intervened and I joined and began direct command of the legion’s large force, the situation quickly turned sour.

The ignorant, outnumbered flesh of calamity, which had endured on an equal footing until now, was now being overwhelmed by the power of the legion’s forces.

My rear strike operation was very effective in turning the battlefield like this.

“Legion Queens, execute the prepared drop operation.”

-I will carry out your order.

When the ruler of the Balaur, who had been asked for a favor by me, pierced the sky first, the jellyfish that covered the sky black poured out spiders as if they were bombarding the giant dividing flesh of the enemy as if they had waited.

“Eat it and throw it away.”

The legion’s faithful subordinates, who embarked on such a large-scale bomb drop operation, ate the flesh of disaster very voraciously, as if they were hungry after living only on tasteless sunlight mucous membranes.

“In original strategy games, hitting the opponent’s resources or production facilities is the top priority.”

“ah… … Right.”

Let’s hit the backbone in charge of the enemy’s troop production like this first, the number of disaster objects that need to be replenished to prevent the advance of the main unit has decreased significantly.

After all, whether it is a war between humans or a war between corps, there is a reason why hitting each other’s production or command facilities is the top priority.

Thanks to this, this terrible area that was originally teeming with the flesh of disaster was now being transformed into a perfect base for the spider army.

Even what seemed like a lot of enemies was far from enough to keep our legion full. In the face of the stormy Legion’s vast army, even such a gigantic bio-weapon is just an excellent source of protein.

“Even if I hadn’t been there, I still couldn’t completely kill them… … .”

In fact, the Legion and the object of Disaster were in a situation where there was a big difference in the power they had. It actually made no sense that such an equal fight was going on for a long time from the beginning.

However, there is only one reason why the disasters are still alive and enduring, because I was absent to go somewhere else for a while.

Just the fact that I wasn’t there, the strength of the corps really noticeably dropped.

“Hey, if I wasn’t there, you should have figured it out. Just pulling out a sword and charging by yourself won’t do you any good in a war. Haven’t you ever played a strategy game?”

“… … I’ve never tried it… … .”

“… … It was my fault for expecting you.”

When a situation like this occurred without me in the corps, it was a rule that Arachne and Kang Jin-hyeok, the next in line, would naturally control the corps.

However, Arachne, the Queen of Legions, was extremely busy just managing production in the headquarters colony. The battles currently taking place in this area were endless, and this guy couldn’t afford to pay proper attention to them.

Rather than commanding other legion queens, Kang Jin-hyeok chose to move using the power of the holy spirit himself. Of course, he did quite well, but there is a limit to how much he can affect the battlefield even if he runs alone in the course of a battle of billions.

“You seem like a guy who only knows how to cook… … .”

In the end, these two were in a situation where all the minor battles were left to the lower legion queens. The problem is, of course, the existing legion queens cannot follow me in terms of efficient combination of troops or tactics.

In addition, seeing that the guys had the idea that they would be pushed out of the ranking competition the moment the troops they raised themselves were consumed, they had a habit of saving troops too much, which caused them to fight more passively than expected.

“It’s a fight that should have ended soon, but you guys didn’t conduct it properly.”

“… … .”

-I’m sorry, ruler… … .

The fact that the Corps didn’t produce the results they expected when I wasn’t there could be a bigger weakness than I thought.

I don’t have to be away for a while, but there is always a possibility that a special situation like this time, where there is no main body or incarnation, will occur.

“… … This will never work.”

The corps needed an additional staff member that I could trust and entrust to them, who could carry out large-scale battles much better than they did.

“Who would like… … .”

Even while I was in trouble, the troops of the Legion, now overwhelmingly ahead in numbers, eagerly ate the remaining disasters and put the last spur to the cleanup.

All that was left anyway was nutrient intake, and for the hungry spiders who took over the entire planet, this was a chore that lasted less than a few hours.

―Lord, all incubation objects of identifiable enemies have been destroyed. Now that hideous creature will no longer be born.

Finally, it was the moment when all the main bases that facilitated their hatching and created countless objects became food for the legion.

This planet, presumed to be a trap dug by the ruler of disaster and his stronghold, has now become my secret territory filled with only the slime of the Legion.

“It’s amazing… … .”

“Senior, this is the strength of the corps.”

Now, there was only one thing left in front of us, a very small base guarded by the ruler of disaster.

After all the legionnaires had surrounded his last stronghold, the blonde Yankee finally spoke to me.

[Brother… … It is your victory.]

That bastard was very unkind to me, but seeing as he didn’t procrastinate anymore and neatly declared defeat, the manners of the game are definitely good.

[However, it will not end like this.]

… … No, it doesn’t look like that.

The field of view of the jellyfish I was using to keep an eye on him suddenly shook greatly, and in the end, it suddenly cut off as if it was going dark.

“This shit… … .”

To observe the ruler of the disaster, the jellyfish around him were caught up in the force and were torn away, and at the same time, a golden whirlpool appeared in the sky and split the space.

At the same time, the ground on which the blonde Yankee stood cracked open, and a large creature lurking underground rose to the ground.

“… … Wow, what does it look like?”

The moment I saw the creature that was supposed to be the Hive Mind of Disaster, I couldn’t help but frown despite seeing it from afar.

“It’s really disgustingly gross.”

The creature that rose from the ground was really dirty and big enough to match the ‘will of the legion’, but it had no thick shell at all like the ruler of the legion, only a pure translucent membrane, so it boasted a very hideous appearance.

To be honest, the thick veins and crimson brain wriggling inside the film made even me, who had grown accustomed to its ugly appearance, feel repulsed.

“Hey, is it Jiwoo? Do you think that bastard will run away now?”

“Old man. I’m watching too?”

An intense golden aura, a phenomenon that appears when you use your mental power to the limit, burst out dazzlingly from that huge hive mind. As the power reached the sky, the massive portal was spinning faster and faster.

I know for sure that he has exhausted so much energy that it is difficult to escape.

However, contrary to my expectations, he was creating a portal large enough for that hideous body to pass through.

After confirming where that powerful power came from, I felt absurd about his choice.

“That crazy bastard, he’s opening the portal while burning the main body’s brain.”

The brain tissues that had melted due to excessive energy turned into golden ash, and it was now coming up with a whirlwind of portals.

A huge tornado of light swirling towards the portal, the majestic appearance it showed was a truly beautiful sight.

[Woo Ahhhhh !!!]

However, the screams of pain from that body that came through the consciousness of the Hive on a slightly different wavelength were truly devastating.

However, what was strange here was the appearance of a blonde Yankee right next to it, burning the main body’s brain and creating a portal for escape.

“ah… … I know now.”

“What?”

“That bastard’s identity.”

Even in the situation where the main body was fatally damaged by the load, it was still expressionless and did not appear to be in pain at all.

Seeing how the blonde Yankee was rolling the body of the Hive Mind like that in a blender, I was finally able to figure out his true identity.

“That bastard, no matter what he did, he got the main body of the disaster in his own hands. Wow, what a great guy.”

“This crazy… … Is that possible?”

After listening to my words, the manager, Kang Jin-hyeok, and Mi-yeong, who had successfully completed their mission and returned to their human bodies, looked back at me with surprised expressions.

“Well… … Looking at that bastard, it seems that there is a way.”

From the way he cared for his body, he knew that he was a non-native cub, but he never imagined that he was the one who was controlling the main body of the disaster with only human power.

“What method did you use?”

What method did that blonde Yankee kid use to be able to completely control the powerful psychic control object of the Legion?

Did that bastard get some kind of drug and succeed in the operation to capture the newborn Transcendental Body from Star?

I was intrigued by the fact that a human with only some psionic abilities could capture and control a Swarm control object.

In addition to this, I felt unbearable anger at the fact that that bastard really fearlessly touched the legion and ate it as he pleased.

“Jiwoo, it looks like the door is almost finished… … Are you going to let the author go like this?”

“Me, Ji-woo? that… … I don’t think I should send it as is… … ?”

As the party said, the portal for escape was on the verge of being completed.

“Ah, of course I don’t intend to just let it go.”

Unlike the restless party, I was rather waiting for the portal to be completed.

“How dare you touch the legion, that fearless bastard?”

Flash-!!!

The moment the blond Yankee burned the body of the disaster and completed the portal, a huge burning stone from the vortex fell towards the ruler of the disaster.

“It’s as easy as stealing the portal.”

A huge explosion occurred across the horizon.
