Episode 317 – Relic (4) “You are passing.” As soon as the security guard finished communicating, the large metal door opened. The airship passed through the terminal without any restrictions. To enter the ‘Water Fortress’, which is composed of a large bio-dome-shaped structure, you must pass through several gates. This is because the outer wall of the dome is composed of several layers, like a space fortress or orbital habitat. However, its scale is so large that it cannot be compared. Because the distance between gates was several kilometers. And we just passed through the final gate on the outer wall. “phew. Fortunately, it ended without incident.” “Thank you for your hard work.” Sky’s mother, who was sitting in the cockpit, breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the times when I had to step in, she was in charge of most of it, so it must have been quite difficult. “Thanks to your death, my guard has been relaxed.” “It’s a strange feeling.” “okay? “I think I died at the right time.” As she joked, my enemies will think I’m dead. Because I intended it to be this way. ‘I didn’t originally intend to do that.’ Thanks to two factors, it was possible to create a situation called ‘Aimorph dies after being attacked by the Thunder God’. If it weren’t for those factors, we would still be in the midst of a battle with the enemy. ‘Especially that trait. I didn’t know I would get something like that at this point...’ “The end?” “I” “Can I leave?” At that time, a wave of thought flowed from behind and tickled the tentacles of my monster. It was Aadhai, who was spending time behind bars. It seemed like it was more difficult for him to endure having to stay still for a long time than being locked in a cage. At first, it diligently trimmed the scales of its wings and tail with the tentacles around its mouth, but now it was just lying down, spread out. Number 26 was relatively calm, but its body color was not good. Dark pink means you are not in a good mood. Just like Aadhai, he is also feeling extremely bored. [Zuzuz zu zuzuzu (please wait a little longer)] 「Already」「A lot」「I’ve waited」」I’m bored. My friend just sleeps. “There is nothing to study.” No. 26 tapped PS-111’s body, which was in a dormant state, with a tentacle. In fact, PS-111 has been assisting in operation since a while ago by connecting the cable to the airship, but he has no way of knowing that. [Zuzuzuz Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu (If you hold back, I’ll give you a present later)] 「A gift?」「What kind of gift?」「What gift?」 [Zuzuzuz Zuzuzu Zuzu zuzu (It’s something you guys will like)] The scale of the water fortress is It is dozens of times larger than the Street of Light and the Street of Glory combined. Naturally, there are bound to be a lot more creatures handled within the city. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them a taste of rare creatures while searching for the 22nd ranker. But the guys seemed to want something other than food. Adhai gently raised his long neck and pointed at me with his front paw. 「Gift」「Big Adult」「Something similar?」「I want something sparkly too!」 [Z(Huh?)] 「Big Adult」「Body」「Change」「Feeling」「Unusual」「That’s right. It’s amazing how they twinkle and move.” “What does that mean?” Sky’s mother was the only one who didn’t understand what they were saying. Except for her, the other kids were not affected by the mimicry system, so they quickly noticed the changes in my body. Now I have transformed into a ‘clever weakling’. It has a body resembling a centaur and is identical to its previous transformation, with fur covering the entire body and the heads on both sides, except for the central head, sticking to the body like armor. From what I remember, he had a very opinionated personality even in games. I, too, have taken advantage of his personality several times when fighting him. A person with such a broken personality would hand over such a threatening item to his enemy? This is nonsense. ‘Not even the rankers of this planet.’ Since he came after me alone, he probably has nothing to do with the #22 we’re looking for or any cult ranker on this planet. If that were the case, they would have cooperated and attacked me a long time ago. ‘As for the vision, I’ll have to check after I find number 22.’ By now, Sihyeon must have been called by the cultists and told them about my death. Even though it was seen from outside the Raijin’s striking point, she is a genetically modified human. Even if it’s far away, it’s very likely that they saw me disappear. If you look at me from her perspective, it will look like your body was twisted and completely destroyed after being hit by the Thunder God’s attack. Cults and rankers have no choice but to accept the incorrect information she provided. She was the last person to be with me before the Raijin attack began. Even if the enemy gets suspicious and searches the area, no trace of me will be found. The energy reaction generated by faster-than-light travel would have been buried by Raijin’s bombardment. ‘Who would think that he used faster-than-light navigation while being hit by the Thunder God in the first place?’ Even Heavenly Mother, who accompanied me, said she had no idea that would happen. It is unlikely that enemy rankers will anticipate this and investigate traces of faster-than-light navigation. ‘Even if you happen to find it, it’s already too late.’ The airship I’m on is already entering the water fortress. Even if you search outside now, it’s too late to find me. 「Big baby, I want something shiny too.」「Me too.」 While I was lost in thought for a moment, I could feel their waves. I’m sorry to say, but it’s impossible to get past the Marauder’s irregular polyhedron. ‘Besides, it would be difficult to obtain a weapon like this again.’ [Zuzzuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu (I can’t give you this, but I’ll find a better one instead)] 「Really?」「Promise?」「I promise」 [Zu (Yes)] They are happy when they hear my confirmation. . Aadhai waggled his tail and No. 26 changed his body color to bright pink. ‘Tsk. ‘It’s going to be busy, right?’ Originally, I thought about finding rare creatures and feeding them. But looking at their reactions, I think I should bring them a better gift. At that time, the dark front glass shone brightly. The first thing to appear as the darkness cleared was a bright ivory building. Here, huge buildings so tall that you can’t even see the rooftops are looking down on us. And beyond the forest of buildings, you can see a huge waterfall. A magnificent stream of sky-blue water pours down from the huge structure. That’s not a naturally occurring waterfall. Like the Bio Dome, it is an artificial waterfall installed on top of a huge structure that is a culmination of the cult’s architectural engineering. “The water is floating. Amazing!」「Dwarf」「There are a lot」 There were numerous aerial waterways connected around the waterfall. Looking up the waterway, numerous hover boats were constantly moving around, transporting cult members from the ivory building. There was a dirt road between the waterway and the building, and large trees were neatly planted. Cults wearing light clothing were seen moving around among the trees. The water fortress we actually encountered had a unique atmosphere where ancient ruins and a futuristic city coexisted. “It’s even more amazing than it looks in the game.” [Zuzuzu (yes)] A city of blue waterfalls built in the middle of a red sand desert. Finally, we succeeded in entering the water fortress.
