Chapter 75
#Chapter 75
The place we newly moved to was Polis Zero, the capital city of humans.
We were on a platform where we could take the warp, and countless androids were coming and going around us.
“Should we have brought Hyeon-i along?”
“He’d probably say he wants to live in the tower.”
“This is incredible…”
In this futuristic city where flying cars were the norm, there were vast buildings stretching endlessly.
The city was so enormous that even inside, you had to take warps to move around here and there.
After seeing only substandard cities, I suddenly felt like my eyes were opening wide.
“I’d like to steal their technology.”
“Can we actually steal it?”
“…Now that I think about it, we can.”
As we exited the Warp Zone, an android waiting at the entrance bowed its head as if it had been expecting us.
The android that bowed politely handed us a business card made of hologram from its chest.

.
Besides that, information was densely written to the point where it was hard to distinguish whether this was a business card or a quality guarantee certificate.
“It is an honor to serve the Ascended Ones. I am guide android PZ-AX04-7710.”
“That name is too long, what should we call you?”
“My master used to call me Chilchili.”
“Eh… Then can I call you Chilchili too?”
“That’s fine!”
It was oddly familiar name for a cutting-edge android, but anyway, we came out of the Warp Zone with Chilchili’s guidance.
Chilchili was an advanced android wearing pure white armor, with a red bow tie wittily attached on top of the armor.
As we walked on the Moving Walk and came outside, the full spectacular view of Polis Zero unfolded.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since Ascended Ones visited Polis Zero.”
“I’ve been curious about this, but calling us Ascended Ones – can the tower’s natives distinguish between Ascended Ones and ordinary people?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Chilchili’s casual answer made me even more curious.
“Oh? How? We didn’t particularly show any signs.”
“The Ascended Ones wouldn’t see it, but to our eyes, it just appears above your heads.”
Chilchili created a hologram to show us the indicator above our heads.
It really had 『Ascended One – Cha Hyeon-su』 written on it.
“I was expecting something more, but this is anticlimactic.”
“Originally we distinguish like this, but… this group of Ascended Ones has many other special things that catch our attention.”
“Hmm? For example?”
Yeo-ul, who had been listening quietly, asked curiously.
Chilchili looked at us carefully, then cautiously continued the explanation.
“Though our technology cannot explain it, just approaching you makes us feel something fundamentally different.”
“Ah… I think I know what you mean.”
“I’m glad you understand.”
It must be talking about mana.
Even on the previous 3rd Floor, enemies died just from being grazed by mana.
My curiosity about Ascended Ones was resolved, and there were many other things I was curious about next.
Chilchili seemed to enjoy answering our questions and was even humming.
“So, where are we being guided to?”
“Oh my, I didn’t mention something important. Originally we planned to take you straight to your lodging, but…”
Chilchili looked at our condition and asked carefully.
“If your physical condition is alright, we’d like to take you straight to Human Command Headquarters, would that be okay?”
“Command Headquarters?”
“Yes, since you’ve shown such brilliant performance, the high-ranking officials strongly hope to meet you at least once.”
I turned around to check my companions’ condition.
Everyone was nodding as if there were no problems.
“It seems fine, so let’s go straight to the headquarters.”
“Understood! Then I’ll take you there quickly and safely!”
Chilchili took out a black cube from its chest and threw it into the air.
The cube unfolded and a black limousine appeared.
It was polished to a shine, clearly showing care had been taken.
Chilchili, now changed into black uniform attire, sat in the driver’s seat.
“I, Chilchili, will escort you safely!”
“What, you can wear clothes too?”
“We androids are not subject to public indecency laws, so we’re free to dress or undress as we please!”
“Pretty stylish, isn’t it? You should dress like that from now on.”
“Since the beautiful Ascended One says so, I shall dress this way for the time being!”
Chilchili started driving while flattering Hunter Baek Do-hyeon with his words.
The limousine gained altitude and began smoothly traveling along the plasma road.
“The Command Headquarters – that’s where practically the highest-ranking people in humanity are gathered right now, isn’t it?”
“Yes, now that the galactic war has intensified in earnest, almost all high-ranking officials are residing at the headquarters.”
“I was curious about that too – a galactic war… who’s fighting whom?”
At my question, Chilchili made a ‘beep beep beep’ sound as if searching for an answer, then soon flashed a bright light bulb and replied.
“From what we currently understand, it’s a war between all human species spread throughout our galaxy and 112,531 alien species spread throughout Andromeda!”
“Huh? There are 110,000 species?”
“We understand that nearly all species in the Andromedan galaxy forces are currently participating in the invasion war!”
“Invasion war…? Are humans being invaded?”
At my question, Chilchili again carefully chose his answer.
This time it took quite a while before a response came back.
“The cause and effect relationships of the war are indescribably complex, but at least according to the data that exists in my database, that is correct!”
“I see…”
“Whether on Earth or here, why are humans always the ones being invaded?”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Amid the lively atmosphere, the Human Command Headquarters building gradually came into view.
Though there wasn’t exactly a sign, it possessed a grandeur more massive and magnificent than any building we’d seen so far.
“Looks like we’re almost there.”
“Yes, I think I can answer about one more question!”
To Chilchili, who seemed to secretly enjoy answering questions, I asked casually while looking up at the pure white headquarters building.
“Don’t the people living in the Tower want to go outside?”
For the first time, Chilchili’s mouth stopped at my question.
The ‘beep beep beep’ sound continued for a while as if he was pondering something deeply, but until our car arrived in front of the headquarters, Chilchili couldn’t carelessly speak.
When we arrived in front of the headquarters, I could see people had come out to greet us in advance.
The car door opened, and just before going outside, Chilchili managed to say one thing with difficulty.
“I think being able to live again in a world that was once broken is something to be grateful for.”
“What? What do you mean by that…”
Just as I was about to ask Chilchili again about the meaning of those incomprehensible words, Chilchili got out of the car with a green light and carefully opened the limousine door for us.
“Beep beep beep! We have safely arrived at the headquarters! All Ascended Ones, please exit carefully for your safety!”
“No, Chilchili. A broken world? What do you mean by that?”
“…Huh? What are you suddenly talking about? Did you read some plausible novel in the meantime?”
At his response, which seemed genuinely clueless, I slowly released my hand that had been gripping Chilchili’s wrist.
I had a strong, chilling feeling that this was something I shouldn’t touch.
“…Right. It’s nothing, I must have been mistaken.”
“Oh my! You seem to have accumulated fatigue! After you finish your business at the headquarters, I’ll take you to a nutritious restaurant!”
“Yeah, thanks.”
With that, we finished our brief farewell with Chilchili and entered the headquarters building.
* * *
The Command Headquarters, called the headquarters of humanity’s future technology, required taking a warp just to enter.
Unlike what we saw from outside, subspace was applied, making the interior similar in size to an entire planet.
“We’ll escort you directly to the general assembly hall.”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
This time, with human guidance, we boarded a warp device heading to the general assembly hall.
Though it looked like an elevator from the outside, the moment we entered, we felt our feet lift off the ground, and in the blink of an eye, we had arrived at the general assembly hall.
When the door opened and we entered the conference room, those who appeared to be the high-ranking officials Chilchili had mentioned all looked at us in unison.
Among the officials in black suits, an android in human form sitting at the head seat stood up.
‘Hmm…? An android?’
Skin, skeleton, breathing, internal organs, and even human aging.
Though he had such perfect human appearance that my other companions couldn’t notice at all, to my eyes that could see souls, he was definitely an android.
On that android’s chest was elegantly attached the title [United Galactic Forces Supreme Commander Jenos].
Below that were additional titles like [Polis Zero Full Authority War Executive] and others.
In other words, various things were hanging all over.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time.”
Even at my greeting without bowing my head, the high-ranking officials introduced themselves with bowed heads as if just coming here was something to be grateful for.
And finally, Jenos, sitting at the head seat, politely bowed his head to welcome us.
“I am Jenos, Supreme Commander of the United Galactic Forces.”
“Yes, I’m Cha Hyeon-su.”
My companions and I finished our brief introductions.
Jenos repeated each of our names once like a human, then smiled and nodded.
“It’s an honor to meet heroes. Please, sit comfortably wherever you’d like.”
At Jenos’s polite greeting, I sat down across from him for now.
The other companions also positioned themselves in a circle around me.
Jenos wore a gentle, good-natured smile that made the atmosphere warm.
The other high-ranking officials were all looking at us with favorable gazes.
“First, I should express my gratitude.”
Jenos bowed his head again from his seated position, low enough that his crown was visible.
“Thanks to Gray Node’s miraculous victory, we were able to buy time. We are deeply grateful for this.”
“Don’t mention it, we’re all human after all.”
At my response, Jenos flinched for just a brief moment, then quickly regained his smile.
“That’s right… Since we’re all human, we must cooperate and live together, but…”
At Jenos’s bitter expression, the other officials also bit their lips or frowned.
“What happened?”
“…Not everything goes according to people’s wishes. Already more than ten planetary systems have sided with Andromeda.”
‘According to people’s wishes…’
I stared intently at Jenos.
My gaze filled with death force unknowingly pressured him, but Jenos seemed to feel nothing, still wearing a sorrowful expression.
“Actually, I’ve been curious since entering here… It might be rude, but would it be alright if I asked?”
“Of course. Please ask anything. I’ll answer with complete sincerity.”
“Yes… Then.”
A spear of death created by snapping my fingers stopped precisely in front of Jenos’s brow.
“Does everyone know that you’re an android pretending to be human?”
“…What?”
“An android? What do you mean…?”
At my question, the other high-ranking officials tilted their heads as if they completely didn’t understand.
In contrast, Jenos’s expression began to be colored with confusion.
