Chapter 2288 – 2288. God’S Atlantis
“What the hell!”
John jumped up from his chair.
Just then, his chief of staff rushed in. He was so frantic that he didn’t even knock.
“Mr. President! It’s a riot! The protesters have turned into a mob!”
“What was that explosion just now?!”
“The protesters used gunpowder!”
“Gunpowder was designated as a strategic material, wasn’t it?!”
“It seems we need to investigate!”
That investigation would take a long time. Unlike modern times, there were no phones.
‘The answer is obvious. The Soviets must have secretly supplied the gunpowder. Or they made bombs and handed them over.’
It wasn’t the Super-United States. Their technology was still at a level where they couldn’t even properly make gunpowder.
“Mr. President! You need to evacuate!”
“The White House is my residence. There’s nowhere to run! I trust the police and soldiers of the United States. They will protect me. Tell them to subdue the rioters, but not to kill them.”
American civilization had newspapers. The printing press was primitive, so the quantity of newspapers was low, but the important thing was that everyone could see them. If the news spread that the White House had killed rioters, twisting it into a story of suppressing protesters, the government would be finished.
‘Damn it. Dictatorship was the answer, not free capitalism….’
As an American, he hated dictatorship. He believed that America’s free democracy and capitalism were the best in the world. Because America was the best country in the world.
John looked at his silent secretary with a puzzled expression. The secretary was sweating profusely.
“…Don’t tell me. You’ve already killed the protesters?”
“We had no choice. Three police officers were killed in the explosion, and the police and soldiers, furious, made a mistake. Even so, the number of protesters is too large, so it will take time to suppress them. Mr. President, you must go to a safe place first. You are the future of America!”
“……”
John sighed. Thinking about the mess he had to clean up made his head throb.
“…Alright. I’ll evacuate for now. That’s the right thing to do. Can I go through the back door?”
“Yes, sir. If you go through the back door, you can get help from the military and retake the White House.”
John and his secretary, accompanied by two bodyguards, went out the back door. Armed men stood there. They held weapons like swords and spears.
“Protesters? No, they’re not. Are they Soviet agents?”
“We are not agents. We did some trading with your friends, but we are definitely Americans.”
“If you’re Americans, put down your weapons. I am the one who built this America, and I am the President of the United States.”
“And a dictator. America doesn’t need a dictator. Attack!”
The armed forces charged. John pulled out a dagger from his pocket and resisted. As an exile, he was used to fighting. He even used combat skills. But as time passed, the number of enemies increased.
“Die, dictator!”
“America doesn’t need a dictator!”
“America is not your civilization, it’s our civilization!”
Thud.
A spear pierced John’s chest. John felt like he was dying unjustly. He had raised those guys who couldn’t even dress properly to this point, and now they were rebelling, saying they didn’t need him? He was like a parent to them.
“…You’re making a mistake. America has many enemies. If you don’t solve the internal problems quickly… you won’t last 30 years before you collapse.”
“Great America will never fall! The dictator of America is dead! True freedom has descended upon America!”
The rebels cheered.

「One participant has been eliminated! Current participants: 10」
「One participant has been eliminated! Current participants: 9」
「10 years have been skipped.」
「Year 230 of the Era.」
「You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!」
「You have acquired 12 Civilization Points as interest!」
「Current Civilization Points: 134」
「Current Population: 16,822,028」
Two participants were eliminated in a row.
Just then, my secretary came in and reported to me. The leader of the American civilization, the Quick Pioneer, had died, and they had completely returned to democracy. The Quick Pioneer was treated as a dictator.
‘Should I say it’s very American?’
The funny thing was that even though the leader had died, the American civilization was fine. It seemed to be because America had returned to democracy.
‘Even if a new president comes out, America won’t last long. The communists and feminist warriors are running wild in the country, what are they going to do about it?’
The Dongtan Women’s Council was supporting the feminist warriors under my orders. They wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to operate due to lack of money and supplies.
‘The non-aggression pact ends in 244. As soon as the pact ends, I’ll take over America. More than anything, I’m greedy for the technology of the American civilization. They seem to have almost completed firearms…. I’m looking forward to it.’
The non-aggression pact was a treaty between civilizations, so it remained in effect even if the leader died.
The Soviets to the north of America would also be eyeing America. Since it’s a cold region, they’d be even more greedy for America.
‘They seem to have made a non-aggression pact… but my side will end it faster.’
I bought civilization points with gold. The Aztec gold mine development was complete, so the amount of gold coming in had increased. I was able to buy a whopping 22 points.
「Market
Economic activity becomes more active.
You can obtain 1 Civilization Point by consuming 33.1 tons of gold.」
‘The amount of gold required has increased. But I can still suck the honey for a while. I should tell the ritualist to offer slave men as sacrifices to get gold.’
If I offer about 1 million slave men, wouldn’t I get about 1000 tons of gold?
I moved on to the next turn.
「10 years have been skipped.」
「Year 240 of the Era.」
「You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!」
「You have acquired 15 Civilization Points as interest!」
「Current Civilization Points: 171」
「Current Population: 26,772,661」
「You have created the Wonder Goblin Farm!」
「You have acquired 10 Civilization Points!」
「Goblin Farm
A place where millions of goblins are managed. Goblins with human wombs implanted in them give birth to human children for their entire lives, with their arms and legs cut off.
Goblins are nothing more than human wombs.
Population growth rate increased by 5%.
Food production rate increased by 5%.
Goblin lifespan increased by 5 years.」
‘The goblin farm has become a wonder?’
The goblin farm had been around for a long time. It was surprising that a perfectly normal building suddenly turned into a wonder.
‘Let’s check it out. If it’s become a wonder, there must be a reason.’
I entered the goblin farm with my secretary and bodyguards. It had been hundreds of years. There was no need for me to go to the goblin farm.
The goblin farm was underground. It was too unsightly to be above ground. Since it was an important place, it was more convenient to manage it by digging underground.
After descending the stairs for a long time, I let out a gasp of admiration. The goblin farm had become a city. It was a city of buildings packed together like chicken coops, but still. Pregnant goblins were lying in the rooms.
Hundreds of thousands of slave men were going back and forth in the goblin farm. They cleaned up the goblin’s excrement and put food in the goblin’s mouths. If a goblin became weak, they were disposed of. It was also the slave men’s job to move goblins close to giving birth to the hatchery.
“The goblin’s rooms are… made of concrete?”
“Yes. Concrete is very sturdy. Previously, we divided the rooms with stone and wood, but recently we’ve been switching to concrete. The floors are the same.”
“Indeed, it’s a wonder. It’s overwhelming to look at.”
I finished my tour of the goblin farm and exchanged gold for points. A total of 17 points.
‘The population increase has exceeded my expectations. At this rate, we’ll run out of food. I need to use points.’
「Agriculture (Lv. MAX).
Agricultural production increased by 30%.
Agricultural success rate increased by 15%.」
I spent 20 civilization points to max out the agriculture level. I was going to buy fertilizer technology, but I stopped. Since I was reclaiming the Aztecs using a large population, it would be fine.
I moved on to the next turn.

「You have encountered another participant’s civilization. The name of the civilization is the Soviet. The leader of the civilization is the Red Dictator.」
「This is the first encounter with the Soviet civilization. You can have a conversation with the leader. Would you like to have a conversation?」
Men on horseback approached the border. When I accepted the conversation, a screen appeared. A middle-aged man in uniform. I couldn’t see his face, but I knew instinctively who he was.
“Guardian of the Vagina, it’s nice to meet you. I’ve heard your stories countless times, but this is the first time we’ve had a direct conversation.”
“The red book you guys spread was quite interesting.”
“The same goes for the purple book that the Super-United States spread. Unlike the United States, our Soviet is thoroughly managed, so trash ideologies like feminism will not shine.”
“Enough. Get to the point.”
“Do not touch America. America has been a long-time enemy of the Soviet, and now America will become one with the Soviet. If you interfere, I will not forgive you. I will be furious, and the Red Army will represent the Soviet’s anger.”
I could feel the arrogance that he was the Soviet itself. I chuckled.
“Do you think I’ll be swayed by such a threat?”
“The Soviet has developed cannons and is armed with muskets. I know that the population of the Super-United States is frighteningly large. And that most of them are primitives running around with swords and axes. The Soviet needs the warm land of America. I will give you some of America’s technology, so stay away from America.”
“You’ve already developed guns? Scary. It’s so scary that I have to crush the Soviet before it develops any further.”
“…Are you serious? Do you really believe you can overcome the technological gap?”
“Should I be more direct? Commie. It’s war. I will kill you and conquer your frozen land.”
「You declare war on the Soviet civilization. War with the Soviet civilization begins!」
“The Red Army will ravage your land.”
Click.
The conversation screen was cut off.
‘With this, I can shift the internal dissatisfaction to the outside.’
Conquering the Soviet was a given.
Time began to skip. And then it stopped again.
「You have encountered another participant’s civilization. The name of the civilization is Helten. The leader of the civilization is the Sage.」
「This is the first encounter with the Helten civilization. You can have a conversation with the leader. Would you like to have a conversation?」
Looking at it, I could see that ships were approaching from the eastern sea. I accepted the conversation. I could tell who the other party was by the name of the civilization.
“Long time no see, Cheonma.”
“How did you know I was Cheonma?”
“Your title is Guardian of the Vagina. I had a feeling it was you. You’re the most incomprehensible person I’ve ever met.”
“And you have the title of Sage. It’s fitting, yet strange.”
“You know too. For an exile, titles don’t mean much. They’re like rewards for achievements.”
“Judging by the looks of it, you came from another continent… how is the situation over there?”
“Not good. The Super-United States is already known on this continent. Great Britain is trying to form an alliance against the Super-United States, warning of its dangers.”
“Those island bastards…. I wondered why they were so quiet, they were plotting on another continent.”
