Chapter 78
#Episode 78
I boarded the bullet-shaped drop ship with my companions.
Even though the Cataclysm had been completely destroyed, other alien warships immediately tried desperately to plug the gap.
We each wore only briefing bracelets and were shot toward the ground like bullets.
“Waaaaaahhh!!”
“Th-this drop ship is safe, right?!”
“It’s fine! S-rank Hunters don’t die from falling!”
“We do die!”
“Hyun-soo can just revive us anyway!”
Rey clenched his teeth and trembled violently at the powerful descent that made us feel weightless.
The drop ship that flew through supersonic speeds barely passed through the atmosphere just before the gap was finally sealed.
Only after securely entering the atmosphere did flames burst out as the drop ship prepared for landing.
True to advanced technology, despite entering at near-supersonic speeds, a stable landing was achieved.
High-output flames pushed against the ground as the drop ship finally touched down completely.
The door opened automatically, revealing the scenery around the hangar.
“I knew this would happen.”
“Wow, so many aliens.”
“Ugh… why are there so many tentacles.”
“They all look like disgusting filth.”
Befitting a planet occupied by alien warships, alien legions were scattered everywhere.
Their uniformly bizarre appearances were disgusting enough to make one’s eyes feel revulsion.
Among them, the strongest power I could sense came from a pair of androids glaring at me from atop the hangar building.
They were androids composed of red and blue respectively, but they didn’t have the simple aura of robots.
Those were probably the combat androids made based on strong artificial intelligence that Nova mentioned.
While they currently looked like boys and girls around 17 years old, their forms would change endlessly depending on the enemy.
‘Since this was originally a place occupied by humans, breathing isn’t a problem, and the distance to the hangar is roughly 400 meters.’
After finishing my general assessment of the situation and looking around, my waiting companions stood beside me.
“What should we do?”
“Let’s break through to the hangar.”
“Understood!”
With a single command, my companions completed their formation behind Kang Cheol-u, who took the front line.
Jinu’s darkness signaled the start of battle with a surprise attack, slashing the bodies of aliens that existed in front.
The two androids reacted agilely to the blade of darkness that cut them in half.
But before those thugs could join the battlefield, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s elemental magic that followed demonstrated its power.
Her magic, which had shown overwhelming might even in restricted environments, began to stretch and display its true power in earnest.
Enemies that somehow broke through the attacks and entered close range fell without being able to overcome the wall formed by Rey and Yeo-ul.
The androids were constantly accelerating their thinking during this battle.
Their bodies transformed intermittently, but they couldn’t recklessly charge at the continuous combat patterns of my companions.
And above all, the final gaze of the two androids never left me.
Did they know that I was the biggest variable?
They only showed cold stares as if they wouldn’t start fighting until I showed my power.
‘Even if you look like that, you won’t be able to handle it.’
The power of a Monarch who governs life and death is not a matter of interests.
Furthermore, if that successor of a Monarch who occupied the previous Divine Seat, that power reaches even more incomprehensible realms.
‘Let’s see your abilities once.’
Death force gathered above my hand was sharply honed.
Death force began to rotate fiercely over something that combined a drill and bullet.
I lightly flicked my hand and fired the shot.
The death force bullet broke through supersonic speed and charged toward the blue android.
The android, startled by the bullet that advanced with a small sonic boom, barely turned its head to dodge the bullet.
Silk-like hair scattered as a hole was pierced through it.
The android’s eyes widened in surprise at the extraordinary speed.
It seemed greatly shocked by the fact that it barely dodged despite keeping a close watch on me.
Even so, there was no change in my attitude.
As if such attacks weren’t regrettable at all, I leisurely walked toward the hangar, matching the combat pace of my companions.
The android’s pupils began to glow.
Power of a different caliber from before surged as programmed killing intent directed toward me.
It was concentrating all its attention solely on killing me, a human.
At this point, I became curious.
What kind of reaction would those AIs show when they encountered something incomprehensible, something that couldn’t be established through logic?
If I remembered this well and told Hyeon-i about it, it might produce some other interesting results.
The killing intent I had faintly scattered exploded in all directions.
Not combat, but rather an intense provocative act at the level of showing off that I was here.
Aliens that had been rushing toward death at a level that would make ordinary humans faint just by contact foamed at the mouth in groups.
Even amid this, the AI didn’t stop thinking and glared at me.
Eyes that had become even redder and bluer were now glowing in the darkness.
It seemed they had no intention of giving up.
How did my companions find a way to defeat them?
The two androids, having finished thinking to their limits, finally began to move.
The two androids that charged while riding the wind flowing with death aimed for my neck.
The attack that transformed both arms into blade-like weapons sliced through the air, carrying honest killing intent in the vicious sound of cutting wind.
Thinking that ranged combat was hopeless, they seemed to have completely committed to close-quarters battle.
Before the sword could reach my neck, my companions reacted first, but I shook my head side to side.
First, I grabbed the two androids’ blades with both hands.
Then I squeezed my hands with force and shattered the blades.
In a situation where ordinary humans would be shocked and retreat, the androids abandoned their broken blades and created new ones.
Blades that started from their fingertips now protruded all the way to their elbows.
From their form, it seemed like they intended to stick with infighting against me to the end.
I twisted my toes and activated Death Dance.
The androids who lost track of my movement twisted their heads grotesquely searching for me, but I had already gotten behind the two of them.
I grabbed both androids’ heads and slammed them straight into the ground.
I controlled this too so they wouldn’t be completely destroyed, in order to provide data for Hyeon-i.
The androids twisted their heads to escape from my grip.
Thinking that close combat wasn’t the answer either, they glared at me with rigid expressions.
‘Hmm… is the very concept of giving up impossible for them?’
If it had been other guys, they would have already run away long ago.
But these guys changed their combat method again and charged at me.
The blue-haired android rushed at me wielding a large shield and mace.
The red android created cannons in both hands and began firing energy balls.
The idea of pressuring me with a combination of close and long-range combat was excellent, but that was a combat method that only worked under the assumption that the close-range fighter could pin me down.
Summoning death once again, I put my arm around the shoulder of the red android that had been firing energy.
“I wonder how you’ll respond to this.”
At my response, the red android’s eyes widened as it converted its arm into a blade and swung it.
Naturally, I had no intention of taking such an attack, so I moved lightly and this time stood stepping on the blue android’s shoulder.
My companions clicked their tongues at the combat situation that was close to mockery.
“Your personality really is terrible.”
“How long are you going to play around with them?”
“Well, I was thinking there might be information that could help Hyeon-i.”
A blade suddenly protruded from the shoulder of the blue android I was standing on.
I concentrated my death force into my sole and stood stepping on even the protruding blade.
For me, who had already far transcended human reaction speed, this kind of surprise attack was nothing more or less than child’s play.
When all their prepared combat tactics proved completely ineffective, the two androids changed their behavior again.
The two androids that had distanced themselves from me again suddenly charged aiming for my neck.
‘Why are they suddenly making such stupid attacks?’
Though it was faster and sharper than before, there was no way such an attack would work on me.
This time, wanting to show them some pain, I was about to strike their blades with my fist.
Their blades wavered once like waves.
The moment the blades bent like fluttering paper passed by me and swung toward Seo Iram.
Death Dance activated without time to think, getting behind the two androids.
My hand blade swung without a single error, sending both androids’ heads flying through the sky.
And as if this wasn’t enough, I wrapped the two androids in death force and ground them up completely.
“…Iram, you’re not hurt anywhere, right?”
“Yeah, I’m completely fine.”
“Phew… that’s a relief then.”
When I brushed off my hands and withdrew my death force, the remains of the two androids ground to powder scattered in the wind.
“As expected, no mercy for those who target companions.”
“Of all people, choosing the weakest Seo Iram was particularly vicious.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
Since I was hopeless, they targeted a companion who seemed weak…
‘I should remember this and be careful.’
Combat thinking that felt no humanity whatsoever.
Acting as if they could do anything for victory.
Though I felt slightly disgusted, since I had already ground them up, it held no further meaning for me.
“That’s enough, let’s enter the hangar now.”
No more enemies seemed to be charging at us.
Not only what my companions had ground up, but most of all, what I had knocked unconscious with death force seemed to have had a major effect.
“The hangar is over there, but…”
The hangar Kang Cheol-u pointed to had already become a horrific sight due to the aliens’ terraforming.
Grotesque flesh and tentacles covering the hangar, and even cannons.
And most importantly, I could sense souls from that flesh.
The fortunate thing was that they weren’t human souls.
It seemed to be a terraforming method the aliens had developed independently.
To me as a human, it was disgusting enough to make me frown.
I could sense several energy sources compressed to their limit, as if they intended to blow up the entire hangar if necessary.
‘Are they that reluctant to give it up?’
Perhaps if Demiurgos was liberated, the axis of war might truly shift dramatically.
“No problem.”
I summoned a black coffin to cover the entire hangar.
The massive black coffin swallowed the hangar and began emitting infinite death energy.
If it were an android with no soul at all, it might be different, but this thing was definitely a living being with a soul.
Thin black chains pierced into its flesh.
And absorbed its very life force at a terrifyingly fast rate.
Less than 20 seconds passed before the black coffin’s summoning was released.
The grotesque masses of flesh that had covered the entire hangar crumbled into sand-like powder and disappeared.
“That’s done.”
“Ugh… don’t tell me you ate that thing?”
“It’s not like I ate it myself, so what does it matter.”
All the demon powder was blown away by the wind and disappeared.
Finally, the hangar showing traces of human presence revealed itself.
“Of course.”
Gradually, the voices of souls crying out from Demiurgos began to be heard again.
