Into the Creations 694

## Chapter 694 – 694. Vanguard – Alien Invasion

694. Vanguard – Alien Invasion

The reason I’m not moving alone and taking care of these guys is because it’s helpful.

The average physical ability of the Braktasians is lower than that of Earthlings. The reason they can have the upper hand in war over Earthlings is because of their advanced science and technology.

In other words, if I take advantage of the chaos to steal Braktasian weapons, the people behind me can be of great help.

Screeeech. Squeak.

A tin can robot blocked our path. The sensor of the thing that looked like a street trash can was glowing blue, then turned red. Cracks appeared all over its body, and weapons similar to guns popped out.

I took out my sword from my magic pouch. Normal bullets wouldn’t work on that robot.

‘Flash.’

I used the skill and instantly approached, stabbing the sword into the center of the tin can robot. It was a bit tight, but as expected of the Lord Saber’s sword, it pierced through the tin can robot’s body.

Zzzzzzt, crack!

Electricity flowed into my body through the sword. I have the lightning attribute. This level of current didn’t even tickle.

The tin can robot’s functions stopped. I ripped off its weapons, but unfortunately, they weren’t the kind of weapons that people could use.

“…You. Were you a hero, not a special agent? I didn’t even see your movements.”

Lacy’s father said in admiration.

“I do have some abilities, but I’m not at the level of a hero. The enemies will be swarming soon, so we need to move quickly.”

“If the enemies swarm, we’ll all be dead. Let’s move quickly.”

“This way.”

When we came to a fork in the road, I turned right.

“How do you know the way so well? You’re not running into dead ends, and you’re moving as if you know the destination.”

“It’s a kind of intuition.”

My movements were unhesitating. I wasn’t just sitting idly while I was locked up in prison. Whenever I had time, I used hacking to secretly look into the system here.

‘In a way, I was lucky. Who would have thought this would be the capital, the center of the Braktasian planet.’

I grasped the structure of the building and checked the information. It was a more mechanical civilization than Earth’s, as it was more advanced. My hacking skill was the worst ability for the Braktasians.

I sensed the presence of enemies at the corner. I raised my hand and gave a signal. Understanding the hand signal, they tensed up, even eliminating the sound of their breathing.

Two Braktasians were running towards us.

“Karlgagagru gogruk.”

“Dodridag Karlaga.”

They were babbling in an unintelligible language. It was the original Braktasian language. The direction they were running from was the prison where we were locked up. They had noticed the anomaly in the prison and started moving.

‘Only two? It’s partly because the entire Braktasian is in chaos right now, but they’re still underestimating us.’

I calmly waited until they reached the corner. The moment they reached the corner, I pounced on them like a beast. The blade of my sword flashed as it caught the light from the ceiling, cutting off the heads of the enemies.

Thud. Thud. The people who saw the heads of the enemies rolling on the floor swallowed hard.

“Take all the weapons and wearable equipment, of course.”

The guns used by the Braktasian soldiers were state-of-the-art weapons that fired laser beams. I went around killing Braktasian soldiers and found an armory, arming the people. The people who were now equipped looked like they couldn’t be easily dealt with, even from the Braktasian’s point of view.

“What are we going to do now?”

“As a result of extracting information from their computer earlier, I’ve found a good location.”

“A good location?”

I smiled slyly and said,

“The commander’s office.”

“…Can we even get there? The commander’s office must be heavily guarded….”

“Yes. Most of the Braktasian soldiers have joined the great invasion, but the soldiers guarding the commander’s office are more than usual. But I have a way.”

“What is that way?”

“We’ll use the secret passage exclusively for royalty to move to the commander’s office. With this passage, we can move to the commander’s office without the enemies knowing. If we occupy the commander’s office, we can negotiate with them. And your contributions can be recognized.”

Lacy’s father looked at me with distrust.

“…You found that out just now by looking at their computer? Do you think that’s possible? And it’s also strange that you’ve been hiding your strength until now.”

The atmosphere began to creak. At first, they were just watching my every move, but now that they had some leeway, they were starting to think differently.

‘If I try to gloss over it here, things will only get bigger.’

I sighed and told the truth.

“Actually, I received a mission as an agent of Ople. It’s a mission to carry out sabotage inside the Braktasian planet. I’ve been thoroughly preparing for that. That’s why I know about the secret passage exclusively for royalty.”

“I thought so.”

Surprisingly, Lacy’s father accepted it calmly.

“……”

“Looking at your face, it seems my reaction is unexpected.”

“Yes.”

“We betrayed humanity. We thought that cooperating with the Braktasians was a safer and more successful way to live. But we were wrong. The Braktasians never intended to treat us well in the first place. The past of betraying humanity once won’t disappear, but… if we help you and make a contribution, we might get some leniency. I don’t want to die here. Don’t you feel the same?”

The people around him agreed with his words.

“Damn it. I thought I’d live a life of luxury….”

“If I’m going to die anyway, I want to die on Earth. Not on this damn alien planet.”

“My dream was to live by enslaving all white, black, and Asian people…. But now it’s an impossible dream. I want freedom now.”

From the moment they decided to follow me, they only had one option.

“And you know what? If things go well, we can become heroes, not traitors. If you, my son-in-law, put in a good word.”

“Well. That might be possible, but….”

I trailed off. The headquarters already knew about the traitors. Except for me and Lacy, they were all destined to be arrested as soon as they returned to Earth.

“Son-in-law. Please.”

“Uh, that’s….”

“I knew you were married early on. But a hero is a womanizer. It’s natural for a hero to have many women. Everyone here is thinking that. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right. I have more than 10 girlfriends.”

“I have more than 30.”

“Power, wealth, women. Aren’t they all proof of a hero?”

“Therefore, we who had all three were heroes of humanity.”

“……”

The only normal person was Lacy. She looked at the 13 people, including her father, with contempt.

Come to think of it, they were all high-ranking members of society. Lacy’s father alone was one of the most powerful people in the United States.

‘There’s the chairman of a pharmaceutical company, a person who controls the distribution industry, and a ruler of the financial world….’

Each and every one of them was a person with wealth and power. They were just traitors to humanity now.

“Son-in-law. Our foundation still remains quite a bit on Earth. If we can safely return and reorganize it…. We can still get our power back. Of course, that’s on the condition that Earth is safe….”

“You’re amazing. But the government….”

I looked around. Everyone’s eyes were on me. I felt an inexplicable familiarity from them.

“I have a way. We’ll record our actions on video. If there’s clear evidence like a video, we can gain the support of the people and become heroes. The government won’t dare treat us as traitors.”

“I’ll take care of that. It’s easy to manipulate the masses using the two broadcasting stations I own.”

“…Oh. Geraldine. It’s reassuring that you’re stepping up. But I haven’t asked you until now, why did you betray humanity?”

“The reason I was able to get to that position was also thanks to the Braktasian technology. I saw that technology firsthand, how could I not betray? I thought Earth was doomed, but after coming here, I realized that I was the one who was doomed.”

They were people who had no prior acquaintance with each other. The Braktasians met them all separately to prevent the traitors from uniting.

“So, I have a favor to ask of you too.”

“What is it?”

“Braktasian technology. I want it. They didn’t tell me all of their technology. If I have the Braktasian technology… it wouldn’t be hard to rule Earth for hundreds of years.”

“Wait a minute. I also want the Braktasian technology.”

“You’re not planning to monopolize the Braktasian technology, are you?”

The people who had been quiet stepped forward. They finished their agreement among themselves before I could even step in.

“Ahem. The most important thing is you. If you don’t do it, all of our plans will be for nothing.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me.

“…If I join your plan, what can I get?”

“First of all, it’ll be fame. Everyone on Earth will praise you.”

“Fame leads to people’s support, and support leads to power.”

“If you get all of the Braktasian technology and share it with us, you can also get wealth. We’re not shameless enough to ask for technology for free.”

“Where there’s power and money, women naturally follow. We’ll form an alliance here. An alliance that won’t break even after we return to Earth. You’ll be at the center of the alliance.”

They were irresistible, sweet offers.

I reached out my hand to them.

“I’m ready to join you.”

“We feel the same.”

Everyone joined hands. Lacy looked at us with a very displeased face, but when her father and I gave her a look, she reluctantly joined hands.

“Our resolve is here.”

“Our resolve is here.”

When I led the chant, they also chanted.

“Resolve for humanity.”

“Resolve for humanity.”

The human alliance was formed here.

It was the birth of the true vanguard.

We all wore similar smiles. A smile that seemed to embody greed.

‘Power… money… power… money… women… women… women… women….’

I’m really looking forward to what will happen after the mission is successful.

‘…Wait a minute. When this is over, I have to forcibly return to reality, right? What the hell.’

Still, I will work hard for a happy ending.

•••

We, fully armed, stood in front of the secret passage.

Underground. A passage where sewage with a musty smell flowed.

“Son-in-law. Is there really a secret passage for royalty here?”

“Yes, there is. It’s a secret passage for escaping the royal palace.”

I stood in front of the wall. On the outside, it was just an ordinary wall. You couldn’t use this secret passage by normal means. This secret passage was also made with Braktasian state-of-the-art technology.

‘It’s different for me.’

[Hacking successful.]

[You can hack the secret passage for 3 minutes.]

The wall opened to both sides, and a passage appeared. There weren’t just one, but three passages. One led to the commander’s office, another to the warp gate, and the other to the Braktasian king’s residence.

“Stand on this floor. You’ll be transported directly to the commander’s office.”

Everyone nervously got on.

Wiiiiiiing.

The sound of an engine was heard from the floor, and wind blew. The floor slightly floated into the air, and handles popped out from below. A windshield was set up in front. Without me saying anything, the people bent over and grabbed the handles tightly.

“We’ll probably arrive in 30 seconds. Keep the officers alive and kill all the soldiers. They won’t even dream that we’re using the secret passage, and they’ll be distracted by the great invasion, so we can effectively subdue them.”

“Understood.”

Everyone was tense.

The floor began to move. At first, it was slow, but it gradually sped up and shot forward. In just a few tens of seconds, the floor stopped. The wall opened wide. It was the commander’s office.

The Braktasians were surprised to see us and raised their weapons. But they couldn’t be faster than us, who were prepared in advance.

‘Flash.’

I was the first to jump out and swing my sword at the enemies. The head of the oldest Braktasian, who had the most medals on his uniform, fell to the floor.

Next, I cut off the legs of a Braktasian wearing fancy clothes and grabbed his head with one hand, holding the sword to his neck. He was the Braktasian prince, Kukukarak.

“You know English, right? Stay still if you don’t want to die.”
