Chapter 2278 – 2278. God’S Atlantis
「Luck Boost (EX) is activated.」
「The entire universe is helping you!」
「Luck Boost (EX) will be deactivated for the time being.」
Finally, Luck Boost had activated. The cooldown had been up for a while, but this was a skill I couldn’t control. If I was unlucky, I might not be able to use it even once in the next hundred years.
「A great sculptor has been born in the Super-American civilization!」
Unfortunately, the initial message didn’t appear.
I watched as a golden pillar of light fell from the sky into the hatchery.
“You guys, do you see that pillar of light?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Everyone around me was quiet. If they had seen the pillar of light, they would have made a fuss. The fact that they were so calm meant that the pillar of light was only visible to me.
“I need to go to the hatchery. A revelation has fallen, so I need to see the child that was just born.”
Goblins come to the hatchery for in vitro fertilization and childbirth. Childbirth is, of course, done by cesarean section. After the child is safely delivered, the hatchery’s excellent technology quickly creates eggs and performs in vitro fertilization. The sperm is, of course, mine.
I checked the child that had just been born. It was emitting light from its entire body. As I got closer, the light disappeared from the child’s body. The child was a girl.
I picked up the child. I decided to personally give her a name.
“This child will become a great sculptor. Her name is… Ddi-tang.”
I named her without much thought. Instead, I gave her the blessing of the vagina.
The maids who followed me had their eyes sparkling. Normally, this child would be sent to a communal nursery to grow up. But from now on, this child is under special management. I’ll make it that way.
‘She’s a great sculptor born through Luck Boost, so she can’t die.’
「Year 150 of the Era.」
「You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!」
「You have acquired 5 Civilization Points as interest!」
「Current Civilization Points: 58」
「Current Population: 314,562」
Twenty years had passed.
The population had reached 300,000. It was starting to increase rapidly. Still, thanks to the order I gave to make fertilizer last time, we were able to manage the food supply. I don’t know what will happen later.
‘At this point, I’m most afraid of a famine. Is this how the kings of Joseon felt?’
I shook my head.
Here, I wasn’t a tyrant. I missed being a tyrant. I could play around without thinking. But if I acted like a tyrant here, I would lose to another civilization.
‘I can’t bring food from another world either. It’s okay for me to use it alone, but if I give it to someone else, the system will eliminate the food.’
The great sculptor, Ddi-tang, was doing well. She had been focusing on sculpture since she was young, with my support. There were Ddi-tang’s sculptures everywhere in the city. At first, the women were indifferent, but these days they admire the sculptures.
‘Have they opened their eyes to culture? Things won’t get worse, right?’
It’s good that the quality of life improves with culture. But if the quality of life gets too high, they’ll start thinking differently. The women might rebel against me.
‘I should order Ddi-tang to make sculptures praising me.’
I give an order to a nearby maid. She will convey my intentions well to Ddi-tang.
「The Lord of the Sky sponsors 1,000 AP.
“Sculpt me.”」
I thought of the statues and paintings of Zeus in modern times. Certainly, if there were religious artworks, it would be easier to gather faith.
‘Wait. If I build something similar to the Parthenon, wouldn’t it be recognized as a wonder? The pyramids of Egypt are also good.’
The ones who die are just slaves anyway. And I happened to have the great sculptor Ddi-tang.
“Wait. Was there a marble quarry?”
“Chieftain. What is marble?”
“Um. It’s white stone. Is there a place in our territory where there’s a pile of white stones?”
“Yes. There is a hill made of white stones.”
“As expected of Super-America. There’s a blessing of resources. Send people to build a quarry.”
I decided to build a wonder.
“I don’t know how much faith points will help… but it wouldn’t be bad to gather a lot. Bring a clay tablet. From now on, I will tell you the secrets of the world… the Genesis. In the beginning, Zeus was born in the center of the universe, and there was light to raise him! And then light was created in this world.”
“What is the universe?”
“The universe is the space outside this planet. You can call it the sky above the sky.”
“What is a planet?”
“……Shut up and just write it down. Zeus used the system to create this world and sent me down to this land. I am Zeus’s only representative. This lightning that happens in my hands is proof of that.”
「The Lord of the Sky is pleased.」
“In the beginning, the Earth was teeming with the seeds of evil gods. They were called Tyrannosaurus. Today’s monsters are the descendants of those guys. Zeus ended their era by dropping lightning meteorites on this world and created humans.”
「The Lord of the Sky is very pleased.」
“There was a place called Eden, and it was a place where… delicious peaches grew… um.”
I was at a loss for words.
I had no choice. I decided to plagiarize the best-selling book in modern history.
「The Lord of the Sky is very, very pleased.」
If he’s so pleased, he should sponsor some AP. I clicked my tongue inwardly.
I didn’t understand why the Lord of the Sky was so happy.
It was just a world for conquering the Atlantis area. From their perspective, it could be called a game within a game.
‘In the end, it’s a world that will disappear after the conquest is over. There’s no reason to be attached to it. It’s different from a play world.’
I couldn’t understand the thoughts of the gods.
A day passed.
Again, the time of the world accelerated and flowed quickly. Then it suddenly stopped.
「You have encountered another participant’s civilization. The name of the civilization is America. The leader of the civilization is a quick pioneer.」
「This is the first encounter with the American civilization. You can have a conversation with the leader. Would you like to have a conversation?」
“America? That’s funny. There’s only one true America. Let’s have a conversation with this guy first.”
The screen enlarges.
As expected, the opponent’s face was not visible. Instead, his body was visible. He was wearing a white cloth. It seems he made the cloth himself. It wasn’t that impressive. I could do it too if I wanted to. I just didn’t feel the need to.
He was a white man with hairy white skin.
“Nice to meet you. I didn’t expect to meet someone from the same place here.”
He spoke in English.
I replied in Chinese.
“I love Tiananmen.”
“You crazy! I thought you were Asian, but you were Chinese?! How dare you use the name of America! Are you even Chinese?!”
“You understand what I’m saying anyway. It’ll be automatically translated. So, American, it’s nice to meet you.”
“…He’s crazy from the start.”
“Are you declaring war? Good. Let’s fight until one civilization is destroyed.”
The man was surprised and waved his hand.
“No, no. Wait. I made a mistake. I apologize. I was just surprised by the strange title of Guardian of the Vagina. How do you even get such a title? Is that vagina not the vagina I know?”
“A vagina refers to a woman’s precious thing.”
“Oh my god.”
“Find your seat later. Now, let’s start the war.”
I checked the enemy scout’s equipment. Steel swords and steel shields. They were even wearing steel armor. It wasn’t full plate armor, but light armor with iron plates attached to leather. They were all riding horses.
“Calm down, friend. I didn’t come to fight. I just happened to discover your forces. Just because you meet another civilization doesn’t mean you have to fight. You know? We can fill each other’s needs.”
There was no need to fight unconditionally. There are no eternal alliances, but there are temporary alliances. However, in my case, I wanted to reduce the overflowing population.
“There should only be one America. I will kill your America and prove that Super-America is the true America.”
“Okay, okay. I know you’re not ordinary, so let’s have a solid conversation. A non-aggression pact for the next 100 years. How about it? And we’ll set up a market on the border and trade. We can both win.”
“Well. I’m not feeling the charm.”
“I’ll give you important information. And clothes as a gift.”
Information is good to have. I nod.
“Tell me. I’ll decide after hearing the information.”
“First piece of information. My territory is very far from here. About 900 miles away, I’d say. I wouldn’t have been able to come without horses. I didn’t even know they would come this far.”
“……900 miles?”
“Uh, what? You don’t know miles? You’re America too, right?”
“It’s not just America, it’s Super-America. Super-America doesn’t use the yard-pound system.”
“What kind of America is that?”
“Super-America has achieved the ultimate PC. Therefore, the legitimacy of America is on this side.”
“…Ultimate PC?”
“In Super-America, men are slaves and women are masters.”
“Holy shit…. You’re that kind of group.”
“Men get pregnant.”
“Should we just pretend we don’t know each other? It might not be a bad choice to pretend today’s meeting never happened.”
“Tell me the next piece of information.”
“Okay. Second piece of information. There’s another civilization near you. A civilization called the Aztecs. You Americans must know the Aztecs, right?”
“……The empire that performs human sacrifices, you mean. Ah. A terrible place. It makes me sick just hearing about it.”
“You sound rather indifferent for someone who says that. I’ll tell you more surprising information. The leader of the Aztecs is the Sacrificial Emperor. His real name is Montezuma. A civilization with such a terrible leader is your neighbor!”
“That’s quite scary.”
“The more surprising fact is that human sacrifice works. As you know, there are gods in this world. The gods are actually giving rewards for human sacrifices. Maybe the most developed civilization in this world right now is the Aztecs.”
“That’s interesting information. Okay. I admit it. I’ll allow a 100-year non-aggression pact and trade. But there’s a condition.”
“Tell me. It’s not a difficult condition, right?”
“Send me one beautiful woman every turn. I happen to like that brown-haired woman over there.”
“……You want me to do human trafficking? An American to me?”
“Don’t act righteous. The history of America began with invasion.”
“……Ah, right. But collecting beautiful women wouldn’t be that meaningful, would it?”
“Are you going to do it or not?”
“Ugh, I have no choice. I wanted to form an alliance, but… I’ll have to consider that. I’ll accept your condition.”
「You have signed a 100-year non-aggression pact with the American civilization. The non-aggression pact will be broken in the year 244 of the Era.」
「You cannot invade the territory of the American civilization. You will receive a penalty if you break the non-aggression pact.」
A penalty? This is unexpected.
