Chapter 184 – In Reality (2)
Cosmic calendar year 985.
1,000 years have already passed since mankind abandoned the polluted Earth and advanced into space.
Meanwhile, they have made remarkable progress. We created all kinds of singular technologies that can only be seen in science fiction novels, and based on that, we explored the universe.
After colonizing numerous planets and aliens and dominating one galaxy, humanity established the 〈Human Galactic Empire〉 and became the ruler of our galaxy.
But one day.
A great crisis has befallen them.
A new life form from outside our galaxy.
Also known as Invader.
Official name, 〈Unidentified Agressive Invader Morph〉
They are a disaster.
No, they were a disaster.
The Invaders invaded planets occupied by humanity.
Humanity’s scientific power was outstanding, and weapons were also greatly developed, but the Invaders, armed with an overwhelming quantity, attacked humanity, risking their lives.
As several planets were devastated in an instant, they became desperate and looked for a way, but realized that there was no trick to reverse the current situation.
In the end, there is only the regular method.
Thus, an all-out war between the Human Galactic Empire and the Invaders unfolded.
The war lasted for decades.
There was no difference between victory and defeat. No, you could rather say that you lost.
Because the Human Galactic Empire lost 30% of its territory.
“It can’t stay like this.”
“I agree.”
They found a way and chose to run away from them.
The original dimensional jumping system has been reworked so that it can go across dimensions.
The result is a huge dimensional gate in front of their eyes.
“What are the fleet’s preparations?”
“A total of 2,951 ships are ready, Commander.”
“Hmm, good.”
The Galactic Commander smoked a pipe.
What begins now will be a very big turning point for humanity.
“The entire fleet. Ready.”
“Yep!”
As soon as the commander’s order was given, all fleets were ready in an instant.
“Rash.”
Wow-!!
Nearly 3,000 battleships headed toward the dimensional gate.
‘Hmm. It would be nice if there were no other intelligent life forms in other dimensions.’
Passing through the dimensional passage, the commander thought.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get to a safe zone comfortably without having to do anything?
But if there is already resident intelligent life…
‘I’ll have to trample on it.’
Just like the empire has done so far.
Trampling on others and dominating them was a very natural thing for the people of the empire, including the commander.
That’s what I’ve learned and practiced all my life.
The opponent counterattacks? It doesn’t matter.
That’s because the invincible Golden Fleet, which created the current human galactic empire, was with them.
“I can see the entrance!”
The end of the dimensional passage is visible.
The commander relayed the message again to the entire fleet.
“Everyone prepares for shock.”
Paaat-!
I came out of the passage.
At that moment, everyone, including the commander, opened their eyes wide.
“Uh? Um, what about that?”
“… Earth?”
That’s right.
What was before their eyes was the Earth.
The earth has not become dull due to environmental pollution, but rather has a deep blue color!
“Observers, check the planet immediately!”
“Yes!”
The planetary scanner has been activated.
Eventually, when they saw the information being printed, they were upset.
This is because it was a planet that was 100% identical to the recorded Earth.
“Good, very good!”
The commander smiled.
I was lucky to discover a planet exactly like Earth.
That would be perfect as a new starting point for the empire.
But the joy is short-lived.
“Commander. The presence of multiple humanoid life forms has been detected on the planet.”
“What? “Play a video.”
The video taken with an ultra-high definition camera reminded me of a hologram screen.
The Earth is gradually expanding.
Eventually, the civilization existing on the planet was revealed.
“There really are humans. Considering the level of civilization, it is presumed that the civilization is at least 100 years more backward than before the cosmic calendar.”
Just before using the space power.
The last recorded year was 2178.
A civilization that is at least 100 years away from that…
“Have we come to the past?”
The commander muttered.
Not everyone was quick to answer.
“Whew. Well, that’s it. At that level, if we show even a little bit of strength, we will be able to take it over.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s a planet with an owner.
Just take it away and that’s it.
The commander, leaning back, raised his hand. It was just when the order to advance was about to be given.
“Something went wrong! “Look at the screen right now!”
“Hmm?”
The image displayed on the screen has changed.
The vast universe.
It’s a universe like no other.
Yes, as long as it’s not there.
“… What am I looking at?”
Vast outer space.
An object that looked like a human was looking straight at them.
This cannot happen.
Even reinforced soldiers created by combining all the empire’s scientific power cannot operate in space without any special equipment. No matter how you look at them, they are bare bones.
‘Could it be that he has paranormal abilities?’
Person with paranormal abilities.
People who are born with special abilities.
Some of them were useless, but there were also abilities that were beyond useful and could compete with a fleet.
Omega-level paranormal ability.
Among the trillions of people in the empire, only 10,000 monsters exist.
Among them, there were people who could function normally in space. Looking at that case, there was a high probability that that being had paranormal abilities.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“…”
The commander was silent.
If you have Omega-level paranormal abilities, it’s better to try to solve it through conversation first.
I don’t know what abilities he might have.
Just when the commander who thought so was about to open his mouth,
“Stop. If you come any closer, I will shoot you down.”
“… !!”
A voice rang in my head.
It wasn’t just the commander who heard it, the entire fleet heard it.
‘Is it a telepathic paranormal ability?’
No, you should not conclude.
Because it made no sense to show such confidence with such paranormal abilities.
Gulp, the nervous commander opened his mouth into the microphone.
“Listen. We are the fleet of the great Galactic Empire of Man. “Who are you to block our path?”
It doesn’t matter if the other person doesn’t know the imperial language.
This is because the automatic translator automatically translated it into a language that the target could understand.
“Rather, I’d like to ask you here. For what purpose did you come to our planet with your fleet? If you came here for an impure purpose, go back now.”
Arrogant tone.
The commander frowned at that.
“It’s so barbaric. “Have we been invaded in the past?”
“What should I do? “Based on that reaction, I think negotiations will be difficult.”
The staff said.
The commander nodded his head.
“I wanted to go well, but I can’t help it if you make a thorn like that. We will try to have a conversation one last time, and if we get the same response, we will proceed as planned.”
“I understand.”
At that very moment,
“What is the plan? “Let me know too.”
For a moment, silence fell.
The commander slowly opened his mouth.
“Surely the microphone is on?”
“Oh, no.”
“But how could our conversation——.”
“Why? Is it interesting to eavesdrop?”
The entire crew looked at the screen.
The enlarged man, Seojun, had a wry smile on his lips.
An unknown ominous feeling passed over the commander.
“—Notify the entire fleet right now. “Pour all your firepower at the entity in front of you, presumed to be an Omega-level paranormal!”
“… I understand!!”
I had a bad feeling.
We need to get rid of that suspicious person right now!
As soon as the commander’s order was given, the entire fleet became busy.
Wooooong──!
Energy was concentrated in the hundreds of thousands of main guns mounted on thousands of battleships.
The main gun mounted on the Golden Fleet was the most powerful weapon created by concentrating the empire’s latest technology. With ten battleships, it was possible to even purify the surface of a small planet.
Hundreds of thousands of such weapons aimed at one target at the same time.
Kwaaaaang─!!!!!
Eventually, hundreds of thousands of beams of light shoot out.
Lasers fired at the speed of light rushed towards Seojun, aiming precisely at him.
Seojun, who was leisurely looking at it, waved his hand.
Then, six wings made of light rose from his back and gently wrapped around his entire body.
Immediately after, the laser hit.
“──Did you get rid of it?”
The commander muttered.
There is no way that dozens of giant planets could survive being hit by energy that could erase them.
It wasn’t just the commander who had such thoughts.
The entire crew of the Golden Fleet expected Seojun to be completely destroyed.
However, that is a miscalculation.
“No way.”
Someone muttered absentmindedly.
That’s because the wings of light swept away and Seojun was revealed to be fine.
While they were in shock, a voice rang out.
“Is it my turn now? “I’ll give back exactly what I received.”
Immediately after hearing those words.
Hundreds of thousands of rays of light emanated from the wings of light that sprouted from Seojun’s back.
It was the photon cannon that the Golden Fleet had just fired.
The beam of light flew precisely towards the fleet and hit the target without a single error.
Quang! Quang! Quang! Kwaang!
Half of the Golden Fleet was shot down in an instant.
The audience was silent.
It’s a sight you can’t believe even when you see it.
Haha. “An Omega-level paranormal ability?”
The commander laughed.
I feel like I want to kill my past self for making that mistake.
That’s not Omega level or anything.
“… Have we made God angry?”
Imperials do not believe in God.
Because the emperor was the god they worshiped.
But today.
I ended up witnessing the true God.
