Chapter 2462 – 2462. God’S Atlantis
[You have selected God’s Atlantis.]
[The game begins.]
The volcanic island on the Atlantis continent was not far from appearing. I didn’t know exactly when it would surface, but it was roughly about 100 days away.
This made many people busy.
Elena, of course, was already in the process of completing all preparations for the volcanic island. From the moment the volcanic island appeared, her influence would become even greater. Perhaps even more than the Emperor’s.
And then there was Harmo, the giant of the West. From the moment he received information from me, he had been steadily preparing for the volcanic island. He had more money than Elena. If he prepared with determination, he would become the richest man in Atlantis this time.
Of course, I, who gave them the information, also benefited. I had invested in Elena and Harmo, after all.
I was drinking coffee with Kang Myungjin on the balcony. The view of the town from the balcony was quite impressive.
The A-Plan Legion headquarters was quite bustling. Unlike before, they were actively accepting new recruits. They were operating in three groups: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Even so, their scale was still much smaller compared to other legions in similar positions.
‘Kang Myungjin believes that one good person is better than dozens of mediocre ones.’
It wasn’t a wrong idea. In a world where it was natural for one strong person to massacre dozens of weak ones.
But wouldn’t one strong person shine only when there were dozens or hundreds of weak ones?
‘That’s power.’
Kang Myungjin himself wasn’t interested in power.
“Ahem. Doesn’t it feel like the air has gotten worse lately?”
“It does. It feels like something’s stuck in my throat for no reason.”
“Ugh. This makes me miss Earth. If only I had an air purifier, I’d feel so much better.”
“Can’t you just solve it with magic?”
“Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive air purification magic is?”
The voices of the A-Plan Legion members could be heard from below the balcony. They didn’t seem to notice our presence.
I looked up at the sky.
In Atlantis, there was no air pollution, so on good days, the sky was so clear it was almost transparent. It was natural for countless stars to shine at night.
But the sky I looked up at today was unusually hazy. People would think that the fine dust was particularly bad today. In reality, it was a sign of the volcanic island.
‘Since they don’t know anything about the volcanic island, they can’t recognize the signs even when they see them. That’s only natural.’
Of course, there were exceptions.
Those with precognition or prophecy abilities. Some good-natured deities would subtly inform their contractors.
‘Even so, they’re forbidden from directly telling them… If the contractor doesn’t notice, it’s meaningless.’
Three years ago, I had informed Elena and Harmo about the appearance of the volcanic island. They had believed me and had been diligently preparing. Even if they found out about the volcanic island late, they wouldn’t be able to catch up to Elena and Harmo.
‘I just need to put my spoon on what Elena and Harmo have prepared.’
And another exception was in front of me.
Kang Myungjin.
He knew the future in a different way than I did.
Kang Myungjin was possessed by the protagonist of a novel written by his younger sibling. I had entered the world of ‘God’s Atlantis,’ where Kang Myungjin was the protagonist.
There was bound to be a difference between what I knew and what Kang Myungjin knew.
According to Kang Myungjin’s knowledge, the volcanic island event was not now, but in the slightly more distant future.
However, the volcanic island had appeared a few years earlier. Considering the time left, he must be thinking that it was urgent.
Kang Myungjin, who had been looking up at the sky with a stern expression, opened his mouth.
“Seong Yujin. Cancel all future schedules.”
“That’s too sudden. Why?”
“Ash will cover Atlantis. We need to prepare for that. The most urgent thing is… water and food. We need to summon the executives.”
An emergency meeting was held.
“Soon, Atlantis will be covered in ash. We need to prepare for that.”
Kang Myungjin’s words from the start of the meeting were absurd. But no one simply ignored his words. So far, what Kang Myungjin had said had come true, almost without fail. Many thought that Kang Myungjin’s contracted deity was related to precognition. Well, it wasn’t a completely wrong guess.
The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and from that day on, the A-Plan Legion began preparations.

「You have entered the Scorpion Desert in District 5,146.」
Space-time travel scrolls were indeed convenient.
By simply tearing a piece of paper, I could immediately travel to the Cheonma Church in the desert area.
As soon as I appeared, Enas, a beautiful sorceress with ash-gray hair and blue eyes, bowed her head. Her voluptuous figure was visible through the ornate clothes decorated with bones.
“Cheonma-nim! The wind is carrying ash, not sand! A disaster! A disaster is about to begin!”
“I know. A volcanic island will appear soon. The preparations for that… didn’t I tell you to do them?”
“…I have not received any orders.”
“Hmm.”
I had forgotten to tell the Cheonma Church.
Well, it wasn’t an important matter anyway. Elena and Harmo were doing the preparations.
“Soon, a volcanic island will surface, and Atlantis will be covered in ash. The overall temperature of Atlantis will rise, and the curse of the volcano will descend upon the exiles. When ash falls, crops will not grow well, so… prepare food as well. Oh, and try not to inhale the ash. It’s not ordinary ash, so it’s very toxic.”
Enas, who had slightly raised her head while still prostrate, was pale.
“Could the oasis be contaminated by that ash? Food is important, but… if the oasis is contaminated, the church will…!”
“Solve it with magic or sorcery.”
“The oasis in the Scorpion Desert is too large! And if you include the oasis in the Golden Desert area… there is a limit to what we can do with magic and sorcery!”
Most of the desert areas in the west were under my control. That meant I was also responsible for managing them.
‘It’s annoying to manage because the districts and cities are scattered.’
Should I just let the dead die and the living live? After all, I receive AP every month by controlling the districts.
“Ch, Cheonma-nim. What should we do…?”
“The Cheonma Church is about the survival of the fittest. We don’t need the weak. Survive on your own. The strong survive no matter the environment. In other words, those who survive in this harsh environment are the strong.”
“Those are truly words worthy of Cheonma-nim! But the weak include women. The number of tribute girls sent from each tribe may decrease!”
My eyes widened.
“That must never happen!”
As a guardian of vaginas, I had a duty to protect them.
I seriously pondered.
The cause of this disaster was the volcanic island. If we conquered the volcanic island area, the disaster would disappear. The problem was that it wasn’t easy. Even if all the successful legions stuck to the volcanic island, it would take at least a year to completely conquer it. The same was true even with Kang Myungjin involved.
‘It’s the same even if I step in. I can’t conquer the volcanic island in a short period. Even if I could, I shouldn’t.’
I had investments.
To get the maximum profit, the volcanic island disaster had to last for a year. If the disaster ended too quickly, Elena and I would suffer losses.
‘How can I protect only the desert area…?’
One thing came to mind.
There were magic towers in Atlantis. A group of mages. There were several magic towers depending on the mages’ schools.
These magic towers exerted a magical influence on the area just by existing. In the original story, the areas influenced by the magic towers were safe from the volcanic island disaster. This was because the magic towers formed a barrier.
“We need to build a magic tower in the desert.”
“…Excuse me? I understand that you can’t just build a magic tower just because you want to. A magic tower has to be a special building that attracts the attention of the gods… and it also requires a mage with outstanding skills.”
“We can kidnap a mage from another suitable magic tower.”
“I see! As expected of Cheonma-nim! Then we can just bring a magic tower!”
“No, one suitable magic tower can’t cover the entire desert. To cover the entire desert, we need something like the Imperial Magic Tower, which is the best of all magic towers. So, we’ll build a new magic tower in the desert. If we just pile up some stones, that’s a magic tower. Let’s build a pyramid. One that will amaze even the gods.”
“A pyramid… Excuse me? The manpower to build that pyramid…?”
“Isn’t manpower abundant in the desert? Let everyone in the desert know. Everyone under me, gather. Any tribe that ignores my orders will be purged by my own hands.”
“B, but will the warriors follow… The proud warriors will consider simple labor an insult!”
“Enas.”
I lowered my voice and called her. Startled, Enas prostrated herself flat on the floor again. Her trembling, large buttocks calmed my anger a little.
“Don’t make me say it twice. Those who ignore my orders are rebels. Rebels will die, and the tribe to which the rebels belong will become slaves.”
「The sun of the desert is showing interest.」
The sun of the desert. Just by the name, one could guess which god it was.
I sat on the throne and stroked my chin.
“It doesn’t have to be a pyramid.”
Magic tower.
Tower.
There were many tower-shaped buildings even in modern times.
‘The first thing that comes to mind is the Jamsil Boji Tower. It looks kind of like a vagina. Should I build a Boji Tower in the desert?’
Wasn’t I the guardian of vaginas? The Boji Tower was symbolic enough. Perhaps the power of the vagina position would become stronger with this Boji Tower.
