Chapter 2298 – 2298. God’S Atlantis
“Ugh…!”
Suddenly, Arel staggered, clutching her head.
Startled, I rushed to her side and supported her by the shoulder.
“What’s wrong?!”
“…All sorts of knowledge flooded into my head. It’s probably not just me; the scientists of the Super-United States are likely experiencing something similar. It’s not dangerous.”
“Is it the effect of purchasing technology with civilization points? Can you develop it right away with just that knowledge?”
“Not quite. We still need to develop and research the technology. However, since the direction is set, the probability of research errors or failures has drastically decreased. There’s a lot to do.”
Arel smiled. Her eyes sparkled with life. Like the workaholic she is, she seemed happy to have so much to do.
「You have entered the Modern Era for the first time!」
「You have acquired 10 civilization points!」
「You have entered the Future Era for the first time!」
「You have acquired 10 civilization points!」
I used the additional 20 civilization points I had gained.
「Use 20 civilization points to create a random great person.」
「Great Luck (EX) is activated.」
「The entire universe is helping you!」
「Great Luck (EX) is temporarily deactivated.」
「A great scientist has been born!」
Great Luck activated at the perfect time.
A golden pillar of light fell from the sky onto the hatchery.
A great scientist. Just the name alone made it clear that this was someone who would rapidly advance the civilization’s science and technology.
I decided to visit the great scientist later.
“If we make a nuclear bomb, can we minimize its size? Like to the size of a bag?”
“Do you want a nuclear bag? It may not be possible right now, but it will be possible as technology advances.”
“That’s a relief.”
Since things had turned out this way, I was planning to put a nuclear bomb in my inventory and take it with me from the Super-United States. However, I couldn’t be 100% sure it would be possible since I didn’t know how the system would work. Nuclear bombs could disrupt the balance of Atlantis. Still, I had to try.
I then checked my faith points.
「Current faith points: 105,011」
“Master of the Heavens. My faith points have exceeded 100,000. Isn’t it time to use them?”
「The Master of the Heavens uses 100,000 faith points.」
「You have acquired the technology, Superconductor.」
「Superconductor
Acquire the superconductor recipe.」
A golden lightning bolt fell from the sky. Surprisingly, the lightning passed through the ceiling and struck the top of my head.
My body trembled. The golden lightning was the knowledge given by Zeus.
It was a recipe for making a superconductor by heating lead and copper with electricity.
‘…I could use this recipe in the real world too?’
The Super-United States had even obtained superconductors. They would never lose in the upcoming war.

The United Nations.
The leaders of Urk and Zhonghua were speechless as they stared at the notification window in front of them.
「One of the participants has entered the Modern Era for the first time!」
「One of the participants has entered the Future Era for the first time!」
“……”
“……”
Their silence was heavy. It was the leader of Urk who broke the silence that had lasted for a while.
“I’ll check. Did they enter the Future Era?”
“We barely entered the Modern Era 20 years ago.”
“…It’s over. The leader of the Super-United States has been gathering civilization points and just used them all. As a result, they entered the Future Era in an instant. The last time was our last chance.”
“Is there no other way? You can definitely steal technology from other civilizations.”
“What are we going to do with just one stolen technology? The game is already tilted.”
“I think there’s one way left. If we can’t win, we can make it so the Super-United States can’t win either.”
“Are you aiming for a draw?”
“The prophecy that Tiamat will appear in the year 500. That’s the time limit for this game. If the monster Tiamat awakens, the game will be over and it will end in a draw. So, we just need to hold out until the year 500.”
The leader of Urk let out a hollow laugh.
“That’s easier said than done. There are 140 years left until 500. You want us to hold out for over 100 years against the Super-United States, which is already two eras ahead? It’s impossible.”
If they fully entered the Future Era, the meaning of land and sea would disappear. The reason the United Nations had been able to hold out until now was because they were across the sea.
“So, are you going to give up and commit suicide? Are you going to give your life to the enemy without doing anything?”
The leader of Urk looked down from the top of the Tower of Babel. The civilization he had built was shining brightly.
“Of course not. I am the first hero and the king of Urk. There was a time when I was afraid of death. But not anymore. Death is something you have to face. There is a glimmer of hope… I have to try to grab it.”
“Even if the Super-United States has acquired Future Era technology, it will take time to commercialize it. In the worst-case scenario, I plan to hide in a safe place and hold out until the year 500. Fortunately, this body doesn’t really need food.”
“The remaining 140 years are also 14 days for us… Not a bad idea. Where are you planning to hide?”
“I can’t tell you.”
The leader of Urk didn’t press him. If he had answered easily, he wouldn’t have believed him.

Year 370.
Fighter jets and bombers flew over the sky of Urk. The development of the Super-United States was much faster than expected. Who would have thought they would already have formed a carrier fleet and be dominating the seas?
The United Nations gave up the sea.
They were being pushed back in technology and population. Naval battles? That was crazy. The United Nations navy was destined to lose. In the first place, the goal of the United Nations was not victory.
“The Super-United States is endlessly producing battleships. How the hell did those crazy bastards increase their production capacity more than 10 years ago?”
“Naval battles are just meaningless attrition warfare. The Super-United States is a crazy civilization that has abandoned human rights and is churning out humans. We must not engage in attrition warfare.”
The United Nations decided to abandon the sea and hold out on the continent. They fortified their cities and built bunkers in preparation for any possible situation.
They fought when the enemies landed on the coast. The defending side had the advantage in landings. Zhonghua’s performance in the defense battles was remarkable. To be precise, Zhonghua’s great general led the battles to victory.
30 wins out of 30 battles.
The great general of Zhonghua, who was continuing his undefeated myth, stared at the sky with his mouth tightly shut. Anti-aircraft guns installed on the ground fired, attacking fighter jets and bombers. Fortunately, the performance of the Super-United States’ fighter jets and bombers was not that great yet.
“…The sky will eventually be taken by the Super-United States. If we lose air superiority, the cities will burn….”
“General! Isn’t it enough to focus on developing anti-aircraft guns?!”
“And the Super-United States will bring even more advanced fighter jets and bombers. According to intelligence, there is a great leader and a great scientist in the Super-United States right now. The development speed of the Super-United States will be even faster.”
“General! The Super-United States has occupied the south! Enemy troops are pouring out from the south! Estimated 20 million! The enemy’s supplies are endless! What should we do?!”
“……Contaminate the water sources and release poison gas. The army of the Super-United States are the kind of people who will not hesitate to eat people if necessary. Even if civilization develops, their base culture will not disappear…. Do not consider the army of the Super-United States as a human army. They are monsters.”
The great general, who was in his 40s, was losing his hair day by day.
Year 380.
A pandemic swept across the entire world. However, it did not cause much damage to the Super-United States and the United Nations. They had all entered the Modern Era, and their medical standards had also improved.
Good news was delivered to the United Nations.
“General! The scientists of Urk have developed a nuclear bomb! If we bomb the Super-United States with this, we will win!”
“There is no way to drop a nuclear bomb on the Super-United States. They control the sea. Even if we have an aircraft carrier, we can’t send it.”
“To have a nuclear bomb but not be able to use it….”
“The south. Drop the nuclear bomb on the southern region occupied by the army of the Super-United States. That will at least give us some breathing room.”
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky with the lives of 50 million people.
“Haha! This is the taste of a nuclear bomb! You don’t have this at home, do you?!”
“They don’t not use nuclear bombs because they don’t have them. According to intelligence, they developed nuclear bombs 5 years before us.”
“……Why aren’t they using nuclear bombs?”
“They are enjoying this war. They don’t doubt their victory. Or maybe they have another purpose.”
Year 390.
The Perlo Mountains, which blocked the eastern and western continents, were hit by a series of nuclear bombs from the Super-United States. The towering mountains were all blown away, becoming flatlands. The army of the Super-United States advanced into the United Nations.
“Drop the nuclear bombs. Do whatever it takes to stop the enemy troops coming down from the north.”
“…General. The Super-United States has already taken air superiority. There are no bombers that can go to the northern sky.”
“Create a special forces unit and take the nuclear bombs by land. We must block the northern road no matter what. We will remember their sacrifice.”
“One of the cities in Urk has surrendered. The Super-United States massacred the surrendered citizens indiscriminately….”
“Everyone can see how cruel they are. The only option we have is to fight to the death.”
Year 400.
The great general of Zhonghua was killed in battle with the special forces of the Super-United States.
His lifetime battle record was 124 battles, 119 wins, and 5 losses. A great star had fallen.
Strangely, the fighting of the Super-United States stopped.
Rumors spread in the United Nations that the great leader of the Super-United States had died from overwork.
Year 410.
The Super-United States was quiet again this time. The reason was unknown, but the United Nations was able to take a breather.
Year 420.
The latest fighter jets from the Super-United States flew around the sky of Urk. Urk sent out fighter jets, but they were annihilated in 10 minutes.
Bombs fell all over Urk. The bombers of the Super-United States dropped bombs for a week and then disappeared.
And 30 nuclear missiles turned everything in Urk to dust.
「One of the participants has been eliminated! Current participants: 3」
Year 430.
Nuclear missiles fell on the major cities of Zhonghua. Fortunately, not everything was destroyed like in Urk.
The leader of Zhonghua disappeared without a trace.
A strange epidemic broke out in Zhonghua. The dead bodies rose and attacked the living. A zombie virus had broken out.
The Super-United States declared victory in the world war, confirming that they had become the ruler of the world. The Super-United States called the eastern continent a testing ground.
