Chapter 2301 – 2301. God’S Atlantis
“I am the manager of this goblin factory.”
I was briefly confused by Arel’s words, but I roughly accepted the situation and understood. I could ask about the reason later.
This was Atlantis. Nothing was strange here.
“What happened roughly? What happened to the Super United States after I disappeared?”
Actually, what happened after I disappeared was what I was most curious about. Could it be that the Super United States disappeared with me?
“After you disappeared, Your Excellency, the spaceship safely landed on Earth. The Dongtan Women’s Council decided to restore the ruined Earth after killing the slave men. They already had experience terraforming the moon and Mars, so five years was enough.”
“It seems like they settled on Earth without any major problems.”
“Yes. It was fine for ten years after restoring Earth.”
“…What happened?”
“Independent governments were established on the moon and Mars, breaking away from the influence of the Dongtan Women’s Council. The moon and Mars incited citizens with the pretext that they were being discriminated against. Unfortunately, the moon and Mars were too far away to stop them. A war broke out between the moon and Mars, and Earth got caught up in it, leading to a space war.”
That was plausible enough. The citizens of the Super United States had always been fierce.
“Hmm. What was the result after that?”
“The war showed signs of becoming prolonged. The distance was great, and they knew each other’s weapon levels well, so it was impossible to wipe each other out with nuclear weapons. Antimatter missiles were powerful, but they weren’t impossible to intercept either. I don’t know what happened after that. Unfortunately, I died.”
“You died again? Were you assassinated? It wasn’t overwork, was it?”
“……It was overwork.”
“To die from overwork three times in a row… you’re something else.”
What kind of woman was this? I looked at her with curious eyes. Even after living three lives, her appearance and personality hadn’t changed at all.
Arel continued speaking shamelessly, not caring about my gaze.
“I made a contract with the system and came to Atlantis to become the manager of the goblin factory. I have no regrets since I gained a new life like this. There are 20 other employees at the goblin farm besides me.”
“20 people? Where are the other employees?”
“They’re in the breeding grounds. No matter what, goblin breeding requires quite a bit of human help. As the factory manager, you need to know this. I’ll guide you.”
I followed Arel down the underground stairs.
A familiar sight appeared. A building with clean, small rooms attached to each other. Conveyor belts were installed between the buildings. On the belts, goblins without arms and legs were placed and moved upwards.
I looked inside the rooms. Pregnant goblins were helplessly lying on beds. Tubes were inserted between their mouths and groins to handle eating and excretion.
“The food is provided by finely grinding goblin corpses, and the goblin excrement is converted into bio-energy, which is used to maintain the factory.”
“That alone would make the food supply absolutely insufficient, wouldn’t it?”
“The goblins here are all genetically engineered goblins. They are born without arms and legs, and they require less calories than ordinary goblins. It only takes three days for a newly born goblin to become an adult.”
“They’re literally goblins born to be slaughtered. How many die a day?”
“3,000 a day. If you invest, Your Excellency, we can increase the size of the factory and gain more profit.”
“Okay. I’ll invest about 1 million AP.”
“Thank you. It will take time to expand the factory, but once it’s completed, we’ll be able to slaughter 30,000 a day.”
「Justice with eyes closed is appalled by your evil deeds!」
「The tongue collector clicks his tongue and curses you!」
「The sacred fire glares at you as if to kill you!」
The Divine Seats sent messages as if warning me.
Justice with eyes closed was Justitia, the goddess of justice worshiped by the Hundred Decisions Balance Society (百決天秤會), a powerful force in Atlantis.
The tongue collector, despite his gruesome name, was King Yama, a Divine Seat who pursued order. The sacred fire was Uriel.
‘The order-aligned Divine Seats must not like my behavior right now.’
I had no intention of abandoning the goblin factory just because I was mindful of those Divine Seats.
Arel’s gaze was directed at the empty air. It seemed the Divine Seats had sent her messages as well.
“Ignore the messages from the Divine Seats. The Divine Seats can’t openly interfere in Atlantis. Even if they do, they’ll have to endure considerable losses and will only end up giving you a moderate curse.”
“So they can’t completely interfere.”
“Atlantis is the Divine Seats’ playground. If they couldn’t interfere at all, what fun would there be?”
Arel’s eyes, which had been looking at me, moved to the side. A new message had appeared. It was a common mistake for newbies in Atlantis.
“Practice reading messages without moving your eyes. There’s no good in letting others know you’re reading messages.”
“Yes. Thank you for the advice.”
“What’s the message about?”
“The sacred fire wants a contract with me. The contract condition is to burn down the goblin factory. There are quite a few other Divine Seats who are applying for a contract with me.”
The Divine Seats who watched the civilization conquest would know Arel’s unique trait. It was an SSS-rank unique trait, so it would be tempting for the Divine Seats.
“You don’t have to choose right away. Ignore them. The sacred fire is a moron, so just ignore him completely.”
“Yes. I will.”
After that, I stared intently at Arel. Arel met my gaze without avoiding it and then asked.
“Are you horny? There isn’t a suitable place to sleep in the factory, but…”
“That’s something we can do outdoors. I was wondering what to do with you.”
“Managing the goblin factory is my job.”
“It’s not right to keep a talent like you in a factory. It’s like using a dragon-slaying sword to kill a cow.”
Should I take her to the A-Plan Legion? That would be a waste too. The A-Plan Legion was stable right now. The balance was maintained. Even if a high-level talent came, there wouldn’t be much to do.
The Cheonma Church, as its leader, it’s not right for me to say this, but it’s being run haphazardly. No, honestly, it’s closer to neglect than management. AP comes in just from dominating the area. If I took Arel to the Cheonma Church, her personality would guarantee overwork. She definitely wouldn’t listen to my words to take it easy.
‘I can’t keep her with me and watch her all the time.’
It was more comfortable to act alone, but she was weak in individual combat power compared to her SSS-rank unique trait. She only did the basics of martial arts because it didn’t suit her taste.
“Arel. Do you have any desire to become stronger?”
“Your Excellency. Even without martial power, you can wield power if you have authority.”
Arel was a typical bureaucrat.
‘Sending her to Helten would be dangerous… The only option left is to leave her to Elena. With Arel’s skills, Elena would welcome her.’
Elena had been lamenting to me that she didn’t have any talent. She especially wanted someone trustworthy and intelligent. Balderte already had enough martial power.
‘Compared to the Super United States, Balderte is small in scale, and Elena will be by her side, so she’ll prevent her from overworking.’
She had already overworked herself three times. That was enough.
I decided to take her out. I would declare the 7,500th district as the territory of the Cheonma Church and send people to guard it. The Cheonma Church’s notoriety was spreading throughout the continent, so it wouldn’t be easy to mess with it.
If necessary, I could get help from Helten.
“Arel. Let’s go.”
I reached out my hand towards her waist. Arel naturally didn’t refuse. My hand stroked her buttocks. Instead of a soft and squishy sensation, I felt a hard and cold sensation.
“……A chastity belt? Are you still wearing a chastity belt?”
Didn’t I give her the key to the chastity belt? No, even without the key to the chastity belt, the technology of the Super United States would be enough to take it off.
“It was useful, so I kept wearing it.”
“A chastity belt is useful?”
“I didn’t have to go to the bathroom. How useful is it that I don’t have to do unnecessary excretion? Thanks to that, I can save 10 minutes a day. That’s 5 hours a month and 60 hours a year.”
Joo Seo-hyun had done all sorts of crazy things to take off that convenient chastity belt. Was Joo Seo-hyun weird? Was Arel weird?
‘They’re both weird. Joo Seo-hyun should have given up and become my sex slave, but she’s still rebellious.’
Anyway, we went outside the factory. No matter how clean it was, the factory smelled of goblins, which was unpleasant.
「Terrible achievement! All goblins will go beyond the stage of hating you and fear you.」
「Acquire the title, ‘Goblin’s Hell’.」
「Acquire 1 bonus stat point.」
My steps stopped without me realizing it.
“Your Excellency?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just an unexpected stroke of luck.”
I immediately used the bonus stat point on luck. There were very limited ways to increase the luck stat.
I went into the forest next to the factory with Arel and had sex. I pressed my lower abdomen against Arel’s buttocks as she leaned forward, supporting herself with her hands on the tree.
“Haa.”
Thump, thump.
It was then, while we were enjoying ourselves, that a goblin popped out with a rustling sound. It wasn’t surprising. I already knew with my senses.
For a wild goblin to pop out near the goblin factory. It was a reckless bastard.
Just as I was about to drop lightning to kill it, the goblin looked at me and immediately knelt down and collapsed.
“Keeeek…!”
Disgusting filth flowed from the goblin’s groin. Its expression was full of fear, and tears like chicken droppings streamed from its eyes.
Even so, I didn’t feel pity, only annoyance.
Wooong.
Mana flowed out of my body and rose into the sky. Just before it turned into lightning and struck the ground.
“Kieeeeeek!!!”
The goblin thrashed its head around. Then it committed suicide by smashing its head against a sharp rock nearby.
「You killed a goblin. Acquire 1 AP.」
What a crazy bastard.
I ignored the goblin and focused on sex.
After the sex, I picked up her limp body and moved. I could have used a space teleportation scroll to move immediately, but there was something I needed to check.
Brain Heaven Style (雷天流) Electromagnetic Waves (電磁氣波).
I scattered electromagnetic waves in all directions. I could feel the structure of the forest and the information of the insects on the trees and the animals running around in real time. It felt like a detailed street view was being downloaded into my head.
‘There’s too much information. This probably would have been a problem if I didn’t have Absolute Mentality.’
First, I excluded insects and small animals. What I was looking for were goblins. Goblins were scattered everywhere in the forest. As the easiest monster to see in Atlantis, it wasn’t difficult to find them.
I moved to where the goblins were.
“Kieeeek!!”
As soon as the goblin saw me, it went berserk. It scratched its skin with its nails, gouged out its eyes, and finally committed suicide.
The other goblins reacted the same way.
‘It wasn’t a coincidence. It must be because of the Goblin’s Hell title effect.’
There were times when titles had special effects.
After confirming, I headed to the Balderte mansion with Arel first.
