Into the Creations 2299

Chapter 2299 – 2299. God’S Atlantis

“10 years have been skipped.”
“Year 440 of the Common Era.”
“You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!”
“Current Civilization Points: 8”
“Current Population: 1,404,501,845”

The Super-United States dominated the world.

In fact, the world had been the Super-United States’ for several turns now.

The Super-United States’ scientific and technological prowess was far beyond the modern era.

I held a small piece of metal, a mixture of lead and copper, in my hand.

Crackling, sizzling.

Lightning sparked, beginning to scorch the metal in my hand. It seemed like random lightning, but there was an order and method to it. Roughly, it was a pattern of strong-weak-weak-medium-strong-medium-strong. Anyway, after this short process, I opened my palm.

Whoosh.

The metal, now a superconductor, floated above my palm.

Thanks to the recipe given by the Lord of the Sky, the Super-United States’ technology was able to develop more rapidly. With the help of a great scientist, the Super-United States had reached a kind of singularity.

Looking out the hatchery window, high-rise buildings were densely packed, and cars flew between them.

‘I wish Arel was here… but she died. I can’t believe she overworked herself to death again this life.’

I had provided her with adequate rest, but she ignored me and worked herself to death. It was a time when there was too much to do with war and development, so she pushed herself too hard.

‘I can’t force her to stop if she enjoys working.’

Even if I had tried to stop her, she wouldn’t have listened. Arel was a woman who lived and died for her work. I had never seen a woman so obsessed with work that she overworked herself to death twice.

‘She was the highest authority in the Super-United States besides me, so the underlings couldn’t stop her.’

The revolutionary Bird, whose real name was Park Si-woo, also died recently. He had lived for almost 80 years as an impregnation machine with his limbs cut off before dying.

From various information I gathered, Park Si-woo was a reincarnator. In his previous life, he had lived as an adventurer in Atlantis before dying. As a child, he suddenly remembered his past life and started a revolution.

It was a bit random, but he had the unique trait of ‘Fated Misfortune (SS),’ so it wasn’t entirely unbelievable.

‘The God Seat made a contract with the first hero. That guy incited Park Si-woo. He might have been involved in this.’

Judging by the system’s silence, he must have used a legal method. Just like the Lord of the Sky consumed faith points to give me the superconductor recipe. The leader of the Urk civilization might have used a power I didn’t know about.

‘He might have already been sanctioned by the system for interfering too much.’

The important thing is that Urk is already destroyed.

Currently, there are only three civilization leaders left, including me.

I am the victor, and Lucas, one of the losers, is imprisoned and has become an impregnation machine like Park Si-woo. But as a leader, he didn’t die.

‘Time skips for leaders except for turns. But there’s a loophole. If a leader’s life is in danger, time doesn’t skip.’

In other words, if he is tortured, time won’t skip, and he will have to endure it fully. Even so, you can’t torture someone all day, but he must have suffered for decades. And he will continue to suffer.

‘Bastards. If you tried to kill me, you should pay the price. I’ll find you and kill you even after the area is cleared and I return to Atlantis.’

The leader of Zhonghua abandoned his civilization and fled. Even though the East Continent was a mess, he stubbornly hid and survived.

I thought about nuking the East Continent into ashes, but… I decided to hold back. The East Continent is now a testing ground and a stress-relieving punching bag. If the East Continent completely disappeared, the internal affairs of the Super-United States could become chaotic. In the worst case, a civil war could break out.

‘There are 60 years left until 500. I must avoid a civil war at all costs.’

I know why the leader of Zhonghua is hiding.

He must be hoping for Tiamat to appear in 500.

‘From my perspective, Tiamat doesn’t seem like much.’

The Super-United States has developed this far in just 440 years. This is probably something the system didn’t expect either. I hope Tiamat has a powerful force. It would be more fun that way.

Knock, knock, knock.

The door opened, and my secretary entered. She was holding a rectangular bag in her hand. The secretary carefully placed the bag on the table.

“Your Excellency. This is a nuclear bomb that has been made as lightweight as possible. Its power is 20kt. It doesn’t have any significant advantages other than its portability.”

From what I roughly gathered, Fat Man had a power of 21kt. This small bag had a similar power to Fat Man.

For reference, the Tsar Bomba is said to be 50Mt. An explosive force equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT.

‘I wanted a Tsar Bomba level… but they say that’s impossible with the current technology.’

I tried to put the nuclear bag into my inventory, but it wouldn’t leave my hand.

“The conquest is in progress. You cannot take items.”

The system’s intervention.

It would be a lie to say I didn’t expect it at all. Nuclear bombs could disrupt the balance of Atlantis.

“Ha…”

I felt a bit empty.

It was true that I had been looking forward to this moment.

Wasn’t the reason I entered the [Eternal Eden] world to get my hands on a nuclear bag like this? If I could have future technology, including a nuclear bag, here, things would have been much easier.

‘If I don’t like something, I can just blow it up with a nuclear bomb. It’s fun just imagining it.’

But the system won’t allow it.

“Damn system…”

It was no use cursing. It completely ignored me.

“10 years have been skipped.”
“Year 470 of the Common Era.”
“You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!”
“You have acquired 1 Civilization Point as interest!”
“Current Civilization Points: 12”
“Current Population: 2,595,669,335”

“A great leader has been born in the Super-United States civilization!”

A golden pillar fell from the sky.

With a feeling of disbelief, I followed the golden pillar. I found a newborn baby in the hands of a nurse. I could feel a strong energy from the baby, who wasn’t even crying.

“Y-Your Excellency?!”

“Give me that child.”

I held the newborn baby. The baby struggled to open its eyes and looked up at me. It had been less than 10 minutes since it was born, and it had opened its eyes? That’s impossible.

“Uu… Aah…”

I don’t know what it’s saying. I guess it means it’s happy to see me.

I nodded solemnly, accepting the baby’s greeting.

“Yes. It’s been a while, Arel. Please don’t die from overwork this time. Well, there are only 30 years left, so it will be over before you die.”

“Awoo…”

I don’t know what it’s saying.

“10 years have been skipped.”
“Year 480 of the Common Era.”
“You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!”
“You have acquired 1 Civilization Point as interest!”
“Current Civilization Points: 14”
“Current Population: 3,326,454,079”

Time passed.

Before me was a 10-year-old girl wearing a form-fitting gray Dongtan mini dress. Arel had the same appearance as in her previous life. She completely ignored the laws of genetics. It was a fantasy world, so I just accepted it.

“Your Excellency. We need to prepare for the worst-case scenario.”

I grabbed Arel’s cheeks with both hands and squeezed them as she spoke seriously. Her baby fat hadn’t gone away, so they were soft.

“Yes, Arel. You’re cute. Hurry up and grow into a voluptuous woman who’s my type.”

“…As I said, we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario. We have no information about Tiamat other than that it will appear in the year 500.”

“What do you think is the worst-case scenario?”

“That the military power of the Super-United States won’t be enough to defeat Tiamat.”

“I don’t think that’s likely… but it’s not good to be too optimistic. What should we do?”

“We need terraforming technology. Please purchase it.”

“That’s 20 civilization points.”

Terraforming technology existed. The Super-United States had already terraformed the moon and built a city there. What Arel wanted was the additional effects of purchasing terraforming technology.

“If Tiamat’s power is greater than expected, we must kill Tiamat even if it means blowing up the Earth. The terraformed Mars will be an alternative to Earth.”

“I don’t think we need to go that far.”

“A leader must always prepare for the worst.”

I approved Arel’s proposed Mars migration project.

I used gold to purchase the lacking civilization points. The gold I had stored in the warehouse was over 100,000 tons.

“Terraforming (Lv.MAX).
Terraforming efficiency increased by 30%.”

Year 490 of the Common Era.

The Super-United States left Earth.

I was on a massive spaceship. Sitting in the captain’s seat, I looked at the blue Earth. Arel stood beside me.

“How is the migration going?”

“It’s complete. 1 billion people have migrated to Mars, and another 1 billion have settled on the moon.”

The hatcheries and wonders were left on Earth. I did bring the Guardian of the Vagina statue to Mars.

“What about the goblins?”

“They are in cryosleep. We plan to thaw them slowly to control the population.”

The hatcheries were on Earth, but it didn’t matter. The Super-United States’ technology could now produce population without hatcheries. Honestly, we didn’t even need goblins. We could create artificial wombs to produce humans.

Why did I bring the goblins? It’s a tradition.

“The 2 billion people left on Earth are all slave men. We’ve left some weapons and armaments, so they will fight Tiamat.”

“After those guys defeat Tiamat, we’ll return to Earth… Do you think they’ll just stay put?”

“It doesn’t matter if they resist. We’ve implanted chips in their heads, so we can take their lives at any time.”

“Heh heh. As expected of Arel. Your work is perfect.”

“You flatter me.”

And that day came.

“10 years have been skipped.”
“Year 500 of the Common Era.”
“You have acquired 1 Civilization Point!”
“Current Civilization Points: 2”
“Current Population: 4,567,957,832”
