Chapter 199 – Durin and the War (2)
I gave an order out loud.
“Catch them all and brainwash them!!!!”
As soon as my command sounded, my subordinates began to shout and attack the humans in the shelter without any hesitation.
“For Zeon!!!”
“Catch them all and put a brainwashing hat on them!!”
Calere hits the crying boy on the forehead with his fist, knocking him unconscious, and then puts a brainwashing cap on him. People in the shelter scream and run away, causing chaos.
“Aaaaah! Please save me!”
“Aaaaah! He’s crazy!”
Go Gil-dong got angry and took out his long sword.
“What is this all of a sudden!!!”
However, he was defeated with a single sword by the Empire’s first sword, Nurdah. Kasha saw a few humans running away through the stairs into the basement. Kasha smiled and ran quickly to the stairs to catch the runaways.
“Kyahahaha! “No one can escape from here!”
**************
This is the basement of the shelter.
There were a lot of bombs piled up in the basement, and on one side, humans who were followers of the Apocalypse Church were chatting.
“Just as Durin said, the world champion Zeon has come here. If we bring in the infected with the Annihilator’s power this evening and then detonate all the hellfire bombs, Zeon’s minions will be seriously injured. At that time, if Durin led the elite and attacked, he would be able to kill Zeon as well. Haven’t we done something great for the Destructor?”
“Go go go go go go go go go go go go go In the new world, the Destructor will give us what we want.”
“Kkkk. “I will ask for 20 beautiful women to be her wives.”
“Isn’t your dream too small? I will ask for the ability to turn women into sex slaves. Haha.”
The bombs here are ‘Hellfire Bombs’ specially airlifted from the Demon Kingdom. It boasts enormous fire damage because it does not simply contain gunpowder, but the essence of fire-type monsters. Believers of the Apocalypse Church actually welcomed martyrdom because they believed that although they too would die when the hellfire bomb exploded, they would be reborn with better abilities in a new world.
At that time, someone ran down the stairs and screamed.
“Aaaaah! Explode the bomb quickly! Quick!!!”
It was the voice of Jacob, a member of the Apocalypse Church.
“Jacob! What does that mean?! “Wait until the infected come in!”
“Zeon minions are attacking people! “I don’t have time!”
“Kyahahaha~ You guys are in the palm of my hand!”
“No! Kwaaaaa!!!!”
A woman’s voice was heard followed by Jacob’s painful screams. The faces of the underground Apocalypse Church believers all turned pale.
“Fuck! Fuck! How did Zeon know?!”
“I don’t know! Let’s explode the bomb first!”
One person took a match and struck the sulfur.
Hwiiik tuk
“Ah. It’s broken. “Again.”
Hwi-Ik, Hwi-Ik, Hwi-Ik, Hwi-Ik, Hwi-Ik,
“Oh my! Why can’t I do this?”
“Where is the flame scroll?!”
“I was here… Wow! “A rat ate it!!!”
Since this place was far from the infected people and the ‘weakened luck ignore’ did not work, their efforts were fruitless. The reason why they did not take the infected person with them is obvious. If there is a situation where ‘luck ignoring’ is in effect because an infected person is nearby, the world will inform Zeon and Zeon will prepare. We sent out all the infected to completely fool Zeon, but we had no idea that Zeon would attack the poor refugees in the shelter.
Kasha came running like a bullet and struck the back of Shindo’s head as he struck her match.
What is it?
“Wow!”
“You bastards! What is this bomb!!! As expected darling, everything needs to be tightened!! Kyahahahaha!”
Puheook puk puh puk puh puk puh puk
“Kueeeeek!”
“Sorry… Kek!”
In less than 5 minutes, Kasha turned the Apocalypse Church believers into breathing rags.
**************
I, Zeon, captured and brainwashed everyone in this shelter.
Go Gil-dong bowed to me in apology.
“I’m sorry for tricking you. “I was actually a believer in the Apocalypse Church.”
“It’s okay if you repent. Explain everything truthfully.”
“I understand!”
After Go Gil-dong assumed the correct posture, he began his explanation.
“This city is ruled by Durin.”
“What? “Is it Durinni?”
“Oh! Sorry! My words came out in vain! Durin is an idiot!”
“Keep your head straight.”
“Yes! Durin received the Destructor’s power and was transformed into a monster that created brain parasites. Most of the population of this city is infected with brain parasites.”
“How can all infected have weakened luck ignore? “Are my abilities too deceptive?”
“That’s… Ah! The Church of the End viewed Durin’s abilities favorably and gave him a lot of support. I am also a knight dispatched from the Apocalypse Church. As far as I know, Veronica gave Durin the ‘Essence of the Destructor’. The Essence of the Destructor is said to be a god-level item that strengthens the power of the Destructor.”
I heard from Arachne Jiricke that ‘Veronica’ is an ancient mimic slime.
“That happened. Is Veronica an ancient mimic slime?”
“Sorry. Her identity is unknown to laymen like me. She is a high-ranking official leading the Apocalypse Church.”
“I get it. What are you and this shelter?”
“Durin created something called a ‘shelter’ in each district of this city.”
“Are all these people here members of the Apocalypse Church?”
“No. Only 12 are members of the Apocalypse Church, and most of them are refugees who fled without knowing anything. Refugees are people who were deliberately saved to create the atmosphere of a ‘shelter.'”
“Right. It didn’t seem like the refugees were acting. “You cleverly inserted lies into the truth.”
“That’s right.”
“Then what is the role of this shelter?”
Go Gil-dong answered with a stern face.
“This is a place to hold Jion for the night. Since there is a shelter in each area, Zion is bound to encounter one shelter no matter where he is.”
“Hmm. “You used your brain.”
“The shelters contain large quantities of Hellfire bombs powerful enough to blow the earth into the sky. The Hellfire Bomb was specially made by the Demon Kingdom. At night, the infected are brought into the shelter through a secret passage. Lord Zeon and his minions will then be in the aftermath of ‘Neglect Weakened Luck’. If the bomb explodes at this time, Zeon’s men will suffer great damage. Afterward, Durin was scheduled to lead elite troops to attack Zeon.”
“I guess my wives are pretty strong though?”
“Durin infected the Count Knights with an S-class brain parasite. The S-class brain parasite causes its host to use its brain at 500%, drawing out its potential power in a short period of time. Durin and the knights will unconditionally rush towards Zeon. “With Lord Zeon’s wife and subordinates injured, if Durin’s ‘ignorance of luck’ is added, even Lord Zeon could be in danger.”
“Where is Durin now?”
“We are waiting at the Count’s mansion.”
“Thank you for the good information.”
“Yes! It’s an honor!”
“Kkekekeke. Everyone has a good plan. “Until I get hit.”
I received the exact location of other shelters from Go Gil-dong.
“Hmm. A good idea occurred to me. Dig tunnels underground and take over all these shelters. If it’s underground, it’s probably outside the scope of the infected people’s ‘weakened luck disregard.’ Then, scatter the bombs underground and then explode them to blow up the city.”
Calere expressed his doubts.
“My lord. It would be difficult to dig a complex tunnel in this large city in one day.”
“Don’t worry. I received a Poké Ball containing a ‘Zeon Earthworm’ from Lena.”
“Then it might be possible!”
There’s someone you need to ask before you blow up this city. It’s Aris. I asked Aris a question with her concerns in mind.
“Aris. “Can I blow up this city?”
“Do as you will. A city like this… I have nothing but painful memories… Just erase them.”
“I was worried about nothing. Then start planning!”
Afterward, Zeon worms tunneled into other shelters within the city, and my men took over the shelters and brainwashed the humans. The brainwashed humans moved the bombs here and there underground so that they were evenly distributed throughout the city. Many bombs were especially installed in the basement of the count’s mansion where Durin is located.
**************
This is the mansion of Count Drales.
Durin looked out through her window in her own room.
“Kikikiki. This city is mine.”
Behind Durin, the knights infected with S-class brain parasites were standing at attention, and their eyes looked blank. Durin received information through the brain organisms’ mental network that Zeon led her men into this city.
“Zion. Your life ends today. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Haha!”
Her efforts so far flowed like a ray of light in Durin’s mind. After Durin ate her black candy, she received the power of the Destructor, and she was reborn as a new race called ‘Brain Organism Mother’. He was able to create brain parasites, infect other people’s brains, and control the infected people through a mental network. In return, his sexual desire and genitals disappeared, but Durin didn’t care. Now that my genitals are gone, I no longer jerk when I hear the sound of the metronome. No. I couldn’t hit it.
“Anything is okay as long as I can kill Zeon. Kikiki.”
Afterward, Durin first infected the people in the mansion and gradually expanded the infection radius. When Veronica visited one more time, her abilities were so recognized that she even received a promise of her support from the Apocalypse Church. She was in good shape after that. She gained the Essence of the Destructor, allowing her to give the infected the ‘Null Weakened Luck’ trait, as well as the soldiers of the Apocalypse Cult. As I worked frantically, before I knew it, the entire city was in Durin’s hands.
Durin dug a trap for Zeon based on information provided by the Church of the End and considering Zeon and his wives’ powerlessness. He set up so-called ‘shelters’ throughout the city and placed many bombs underground. If Zeon stays in the shelter even for one night, they will send in infected people and blow up the shelter. We just received a message that Zeon has entered shelter 14. Durin smiled evilly.
“Giggles. This is the shelter that Go Gil-dong was in charge of. After all, Go Gil-dong is smart. Zeon. “You are going to die today!”
If there was one thing that Durin overlooked, it was that the information about Zeon provided by the Church of the End was not perfect. The information did not mention ‘Zeon worm’, ‘brainwashing hat’, Zeon’s ‘crazy personality’, or ‘evil god’s goblin’. Unfortunately, Durin did not consider the anomalies of the information he received. This is because Durin’s intelligence and disposition did not increase even after becoming the ‘mother of brain parasites’. Durin was still just ‘Durin the kid.’
