The Main Character Competes With Quantity

chapter 17



017. Constellations are horny, palms are flying (2)

It is the memory of the past player days, that is, the first round before the regression.

The self-proclaimed so-called ‘returnees’ who appeared at that time were really strong. They said this in an interview with a media outlet one day.

“There are far more dimension territories than we thought. There were only six places I went to. The world is really big.”

“There were places where there were no ‘managers’ in some dimensional estates. In this case, the strongest will take the place. Oh, you want to compare the level with player Kang Jin-hyuk? Well… … I’m sorry for him, but he’s not even on the level of a strong player. They may not be as good as the Administrators, but they are what we call [semi-goddess] beings who can still exert a powerful influence across the planet.”

“Usually, those people stay quiet, but sometimes there are people who go out into the world calling themselves [Constellations] and all. These guys are very bad. Gnomes act as if they are the gods of the world. Most of them are perverted bastards who enjoy buying fake systems and making the world like a game. Oh, and of course I broke the game and came back. I’m an RPG game expert myself, so… … hahahaha… … .”

Constellation? Continent of Goddesses? Sitting laughing.

That’s the identity of the bastards who are sending out messages right here and now.

This is a very beggarly world where strange bastards who are not administrators kidnap people from another dimension, wrap themselves in the name of constellations, and play with them as they please.

Anyway, it seems wrong to pass quietly this time.

I was going to pass by quietly, just feeding Leviathan, except for the situation where demons appear and play havoc.

Do these bastards dare to kidnap Kanghoin and Earthlings?

【Arachne. Create a colony and prepare an army to go to war.]

【This planet will be covered with mucus.】

―Fulfill the orders of the ruler.

This world need not exist.

[The goddesses of the continent clearly show their discomfort at the sudden appearance of the ‘constellation’.]

[The goddesses of the continent scramble to lament your intervention as an unconsensual being.]

“Fuck.”

The message format here is really dirty. What kind of bastard made and sold such a system message like that?

I, who had been through intuitive methods such as ‘text messages with savage profanity sent by a friend’ painstakingly written by district administrators for a long time, the more I looked at the system messages of those self-proclaimed Constellation bitches, the more I thought they were really stupid.

A disgusting, cheesy message.

Is the bastard who made that sentence really sane?

As the great whale’s shadow fell over the corpse-strewn field, I vowed from the bottom of my heart that I would blow your claws off that disgusting chat forever.

[The Continent’s Goddesses decided to forcibly expel the Constellation that intervened in their game without prior consultation… … ]

【Fuck you bitches.】

[The dimensional war has begun.]

“Building colonies.”

At my command, hundreds of worker bugs that rode jellyfish from Leviathan began to build a hatchery colony in perfect order.

“Arachne, protect this colony unconditionally.”

-All right.

Hatcheries that are initially built on bare ground cannot properly receive nutrients from the mucous membrane. Of course, it had to take a long time to complete, and this timing, when I couldn’t immediately recruit troops, was the most dangerous timing for me.

This is because there is a limit to the number of legion objects that can be burned inside the Leviathan, so usually only worker insects and jellyfish are burned.

The problem is that, as a result of looking at it with jellyfish, there are really enemies everywhere.

There were dozens of native kingdoms in this world, a mixture of different civilizations, all devoted to the scum pretending to be that Constellation.

In addition, many of those who were kidnapped and raised are threatening forces who are loyal to those scumbags.

Those guys started moving right away.

In this world, it’s impossible to build a colony while avoiding the eyes of those little constellations, so I don’t have the time to grow the colony right now.

Even if I had only the [Gate] authority used by demons, it would have been a piece of cake to connect the home planet and end this planet, but unfortunately I had no way to use that authority.

… … Well. For some reason, even if we never showed the strongest bastard, it seems like he could probably use the [Gate], but if that’s the case, should I have risked calling him to the colony?

―Lord, the enemy’s large army has begun to move.

Anyway, the army of guys who are aiming for my colony started to cover the ground very black.

However, since this planet itself is ruled by bastards who kidnap people from various dimensions, the appearance of that army was very strange.

“Kang Jin-hyuk, do you know what that is?”

“… … rifle? And a domestic truck? Why is something like that here?”

“Well, it seems that a person from Earth was kidnapped while driving around with a hunting gun in a car. That’s why I copied it and mass-produced it.”

“… … Strangely persuasive.”

First of all, the army that departed from the native kingdom looks like an army dressed in clothes reminiscent of medieval Europe, but strangely, they are holding something similar to a rifle in their hands, not a spear.

Going one step further, some guys were running almost half way with strong skills, such as light-gong (輕功) or something, and others out of the blue remodeled a ‘truck famous for enduring heavy loads’, very familiar to Koreans, into a technical form and fired a mortar. They were running with loads of the same things.

Oh my gosh. I never dreamed that I would see the ‘army’ in the military reminiscent of a medieval fantasy, and the ‘domestic overloaded missile truck’ used by radical religious groups here.

It seems that the truck they rode was a dimensional transport truck.

“It’s the wrong jjambbong.”

A world where people from different dimensions are mixed. At first glance, it looks like a fantasy world, but if you look closely, it looks like a gang-ho.

The power of civilization jjamppong collected from the continent is approaching tens of millions, and I have just begun to build a colony.

“Couldn’t something like a nuclear warhead come out of that cannon?”

This is very embarrassing, because the combination was so crude that the enemy’s power was not properly measured. A domestic truck appeared out of nowhere in an unfamiliar world, carrying what appeared to be a mortar, and I had no idea what would come out of it.

I have always had a tendency to enjoy bold and aggressive tactics, but now it is said that I have to start with space defense unconditionally.

“This time it’s a frontal power battle.”

In this situation, where information about the enemy’s power level was sorely lacking, there was a risk that a play focused on containment would have the opposite effect.

Currently, the best option is to deploy appropriate reconnaissance activities, block the opponent’s attack, gather the maximum number of troops, and make a big blow.

We need enough time to prepare for the Legion’s one-shot rush.

“Transform one-third into thorny tentacles.”

Even if you reduce rotation for defense, let’s build enough tentacles.

This will reduce the amount of nutrients needed to grow the hatchery, but since I had the experience of my base colony bursting the other day, defending my base became my top priority.

Of course, if you’re in a hurry, you can mobilize Leviathan to defend the colony’s early growth, but you have to conserve nutrients as much as possible so you can’t use it carelessly because it doesn’t interfere with your next trip.

It consumed a lot of calories just by being awake, not in hibernation, and even the speed at which it digested nutrients was ignorantly slow.

It is good to move only once when you need a bamboo spear. If you accidentally use too many calories, you may end up with an unfortunate situation where you are tied up for a long time.

“Kang Jin-hyeok.”

Kang Jin-hyeok, who was watching the enemy’s movements through the corporal consciousness I shared, looked back at me with the impression of a well-sharp sword like before.

They did not speak to each other, but for a brief moment, the familiar exchange of glances, the main means of communication for those who risked their lives and rolled on the battlefield, took place.

Yes, it was once a team with me and me.

The human relationship with this guy was really bad, but when we went into battle, we got along very well.

“What can I do?”

I smiled.

When the leader is absent, the next person in command is me, who can observe the whole situation from the rear. Kang Jin-hyeok hadn’t forgotten the group’s rules yet.

Of course, at that time Kang Jin-hyeok was like a pony who didn’t really listen to me, but now he was very compliant and followed me well.

“Delaying the timing of the enemy’s advance is to cut off the head and properly check the main base.”

“good night. Assassination is my specialty.”

Now, it’s time for the sonic man specializing in assassination and guerrilla warfare and the strongest psionic power to mobilize to buy time while the colony is being built.

Oh right.

“Let’s eat some rice.”

“… … Today’s lunch menu is… … .”

Mt. Geumgang is also an after-dinner view.

* * *

This is a very strange world ruled by [Constellation], but thanks to their extensive abduction, it was possible to accidentally meet someone with a relationship.

A man in a blue uniform led thirty of his men in black masks and was en route to deal with the intruders as directed by the goddess he had chosen.

He had been mysteriously kidnapped only a week ago, with a huge crack swallowing the whole building, and when he came to his senses, he saw a very strange sky.

[Mission: Do not hesitate to kill those who choose another goddess.]

At first, I was quite embarrassed by this situation, but since they were born strong people, a very one-sided massacre took place from the first battle in a strange world.

In the place where they passed, only a dead body with a fallen head and a pierced heart was left like a mountain. Even those who were called strong in other worlds could not escape alive the moment they encountered this man and his subordinates.

[The Cloud Goddess is wary of you.]

[The Goddess of Fire is wary of you.]

[The Earth Goddess is wary of you.]

[The goddess of wind is wary of you.]

[The Goddess of the Ocean is looking forward to your great performance.]

Thanks to the amazing performance of those who wipe out the enemies they meet in an instant, the goddess of the ocean, the constellation behind them, began to favor men very much, saying that the game rankings rose in an instant.

[The Ocean Goddess says she will grant what she wants.]

“Goddess, please send us back to our hometown.”

[The Ocean Goddess shakes her head, saying that that is not okay.]

“… … Is this really the will of heaven?”

Of course, the man felt very bad about this situation.

He was the head of a group and a person who held a very important position as an advisor in a world, but he was not someone who would like to be moved as a piece on someone else’s checkerboard.

But even if I didn’t want to do it, I had to do it.

Mission failure here was death. I couldn’t die in vain here without being able to return to my hometown, so I had no choice but to carry out my mission more tenaciously.

[Mission: Win the Dimensional War.]

It was the man and his men who went on a mission today to not die.

“… … Wait a minute.”

For a moment, the man felt a very familiar gaze looking down at them from high in the sky with his whole body and stopped as it was. His loyal subordinates also stopped following him at the same time as if they were united.

“This feeling… … .”

I focused my eyes on the mighty internal energy accumulated over many years and looked at those watchers on the border with the universe.

It was a very familiar creature that you could see every day just a week ago.

“Ah, heaven has not abandoned us.”

Deep tears began to flow from the eyes of the kneeling man in the blue uniform, a glimpse of his heartache.

“Did you come to rescue us?”

When did he appear, two familiar people were standing in front of him.

“You are the Son of Heaven of the mighty world.”

【… … Uncle teacher? Why is the old man here?]

I’ll say it again, but they happened to be passing by and didn’t come to the rescue on purpose.

* * *

The sun was in the middle of the sky, so it was clear that it was daytime, but it was still dark all around, and the stars in the universe were still twinkling and shining.

‘Nemesis’, the territory of the demon realm where billions of high-ranking demons live, is such a place.

This cold star guarding the side of a very small red dwarf had such a shady environment where darkness always coexisted even during the day.

From the tunnels dug between the colonies of demonic plants that covered the world, very alien beings crawled out and secretly plucked the flowers.

Confused as to whether they were crabs or spiders that plucked the demonic plants with their large claws, they immediately approached the building in the form of a giant spider’s body and put a bunch of the results of their collection into the hole that they could see through their mouths.

In the place where the sticky mucous membrane flowed, eggshells protruding from the hatchery submerged in the mucous membrane, consuming nutrients, and then waking up as new workers and jellyfish repeatedly.

– Hatchery. How many times have I told you to make more jellyfish!

The spider monster that had a temper at the building was the ‘Legion Queen Zaira’, the subject of the mental power that governs this colony.

As soon as Zyra crossed over to Nemesis, she woke up inside the demon duke and immediately ate him, then secretly hid and incubated the tunnel spider’s nest with the overflowing nutrients.

As soon as the first spiders woke up, they prepared huge cavities underground, and now those cavities were connected and spread out all over the world like huge ant nests.

A total of 16 new colonies were created under Zaira’s command, and the number of hatcheries exceeded 10,000. In each place, the queens stocked up on nutrients and prepared to cut out the legion individuals like rice cakes.

Already, tens of millions of swarms of jellyfish were monitoring everything in the world above, and the underground world became a world where the mucous membranes of the legion flowed like lava.

―The Legion Queen instructs. From now on, with all the nutrients you have stored up, make children capable of attacking.

The operation to overthrow the Pandemonium Territory, all of this started with one legion queen.

-The ruler commanded. Eliminate all demons!!!
