Ruler of the Game 673

Chapter 673 – The Ark

When the time is up, a mirror naturally appears in front of Seong-il’s eyes, and he returns to reality again by following the passage spread through the mirror.

“…So you’re really quick to fulfill your promise?”

When Seong-il comes to him after only three days with his simbeop and martial arts, Professor Aron lets go of his expressionless face and makes a surprised expression.

“It wasn’t three days for me.”

Seong-il had been suspended for the rest of the time except for the three days Professor Aron said to provide his alibi.

“Anyway, thank you. Take this.”

Prof. Aron takes out two Ethereal Stones and hands them to Seong-Il, just as he had promised.

Two beautiful stones that emit a brilliant colorless and purple light. Professor Aron starts his explanation by handing over the stone to Seong-il.

“I’ll give you two first. I can’t get one right now because the dean has it.”

“It’s okay. I can understand that much.”

Since they are expensive artifacts worth 100,000 points anyway, buying all three stones in one lump sum was quite burdensome for Seong-il, so he doesn’t seem to regret Aron’s words at all.

“The colorless stone is an ethereal stone of gravity. Depending on the level of magical power injected, it grants the power to manipulate the surrounding gravity. In addition, it usually floats next to the owner and provides a gravity shield.

Purple is an ethereal stone of lightning. When you inject magical energy, it creates pure thunderbolts and grants you the power to manipulate them. Passive is floating next to the owner and firing thunderbolts at hostile creatures according to the owner’s will.”

‘I’m okay…?’

Not bad Ethereal Stone’s ability. Seong-il is satisfied with Stone’s ability because he has seen Lee Ah-hyun’s ability and experienced how useful the gravitational field is in battle.

‘Is it okay to use thunderbolts for combat? It’s perfect for wide-area attacks.’

Coincidentally, since about 100,000 follower points came in the day before, Seong-il did not hesitate and immediately paid the duty on the two Ethereal Stones to acquire ownership.

‘I still have 280,000 points left. I still have plenty of room.’

Seong-il, feeling good after getting a good artifact, takes out a memory marble he prepared in advance and hands it to Aaron to answer.

“This is an extract of the memories of my martial arts training process over the past month. If you refer to this, you will be able to practice faster and easier.”

“Good. Thank you.”

Professor Aron also nodded his head with a hearty smile as if he was satisfied with the arrangement of the holy day.

He says that Seong-il has faithfully kept his promise, so he will help Seong-il train special traits with two other professors at this time every day.

In addition, he promises to help with training with enthusiasm and sincerity if he encounters any blockages in training.

“…That’s too bad.”

“Hmm? What do you mean? Are you not satisfied with our curriculum?”

“Oh, not that.”

Seong-il explains that he lamented that the people of his world did not receive a proper education like the students of Mythology Academy due to the oppression of the aliens, and received a bizarre education that thoroughly suited the tastes of the aliens.

“I understand. If I were you, I’d be furious.”

Apparently, Professor Aron is also a person who lives in a world exposed to the risk of foreign invasion, so he seems to fully understand Seong-il’s concerns.

“If there is an opportunity to connect your world with our world in the future, we will do our best to help you educate your world. Of course! Assuming you help us.”

“Of course. For the sake of my followers, I will do my best to help this world.”

As if Seong-il’s answer was satisfactory, Professor Aron smiled and nodded his head.

Wow…!!

“…?”

His smartphone suddenly rings while he is fighting with Professor Aaron. Seong-il looks at the message with a puzzled expression.

『Game Master: If you consistently save the core, I can provide a connection passage!』

“…!!”

Seong-il is momentarily surprised by the game master’s sudden and unexpected proposal, and is unable to say anything.

“Hmm? Why but?”

“Oh, no.”

Seong-il quickly recovers from his shock and turns his attention to Professor Aron, who is puzzled.

Seong-il, who briefly asks the professor questions about transformation, bids him farewell using training as an excuse.

‘…I guess I have to go back to reality after a long time.’

Even for the recovery of the game master, Seong-il thinks that he must return to reality after a long time and collect dungeon cores.

Therefore, he urgently calls the followers of the world of Mythology, and he temporarily stops the time of the world and begins preparing to return to reality.

***

“Wow… This was completed in only two months?!”

Seong-il returns to the inner plane of reality after a long time and examines the interior. He looked at the Gaia system Edward had created and exclaimed in exclamation.

『Whoops! Thank you! If the supply of resources stabilizes in the future, we plan to build a few more production bases like this.”

‘It still looks great enough…’

Seong-il is a bit taken aback by Edward’s answer, saying that he lacks a factory with a huge circular dome the size of a soccer field.

However, without showing it, he quietly follows Edward and listens to an explanation of the Gaia system.

『Based on the circular dome, the outer shell is called Zone 1. District 1 is a place to store and manage mass-produced G.E.C.R.”

“If there is District 1, there must be District 2, right?”

“That’s right! Zone 2 is the zone inside the dome. It is mainly a place that produces G.E.C.R. District 3 is the most central place, where research facilities and Gaia systems are located.”

“Ohh…”

『Currently, the Gaia system is unfortunately mass producing only about 10 G.E.C.R units a day due to lack of resources.』

Since the amount of resources provided by the material Ethereal Stone is limited, it seems that G.E.C.R cannot be mass-produced even though there is such a huge facility.

‘Well, Gaia System doesn’t just produce G.E.C.R, so what…’

Since the Gaia system also produces microscopic nano machines in addition to robots, Seong-il did not point out the small number of mass-produced units.

Ugh…!!

Upon arriving near the dome, G.E.C.R is working hard on something in a wealthy state.

Perhaps because of the recent growth of Youngsam and Withgrassil, the garden of the Goddess has expanded considerably, and the G.E.C.R produced in the garden was working hard to grow food and crops for alchemy.

“Are you using the Ethereal Stone well?”

“That’s right. The Ethereal Stone is a fantastic object itself. As long as you have magic power, you can materialize matter indefinitely. Of course, if you increase the output excessively, you will be overloaded, so you have to use it delicately.”

Through Edward’s explanation, Seong-il realizes that he is actually using the Ethereal Stone 24 hours a day, pushing it to the brink of its limit.

‘It’s at the level of eating the real bone marrow.’

Seeing Edward’s frugal use of the stone, Seong-il thinks it was a good thing to hand over the stone to him.

“How many G.E.C.Rs are currently mass-produced?”

“About 300. The actual operation of the factory was about a month.”

“Right.”

It seems that the factory has been operating since the day he entered the mirror world. Seong-il wants to investigate the feasibility of the ‘abduction’ plan he will carry out soon, so he asks Edward how many people he can support per G.E.C.R.

“In the beginning, I think we will be able to support a population of about five people per period. After all, the Inner Plane has no infrastructure whatsoever.

However, if the branches of Youngsam and Weedgrassil grow on the cloned inner plane and the city foundation is established, I think we can support about 30 people per unit.”

‘I’m okay…?’

A human abduction plan that is more likely than you think. Seong-il unexpectedly feels that it is not impossible to save humanity from the alien’s clutches.

“Okay. Let’s do it while you mentioned it.”

“Yes? Which…?”

Edward, who did not understand Seong-Il’s sudden words, asked Seong-Il in a way that he did not know why.

Seong-il explains the human abduction project to Edward. Edward, who heard a brief plan from him, quickly grasps his intentions like a brilliant AI.

“Hoo… You mean you’re going to bring people captured by an alien civilization to the cloned inner plane and settle them?”

“Yeah. Bringing them to the main inner plane could cause problems in case of unrest. I’m thinking of settling them into a cloned inner plane that’s easy to control.”

“It is a great idea.”

If, after settling the rescued people in the main inner plane, they go out of their way for some reason and cause harm to Widgrasil and Youngsaem, it could be a big problem. Wanted

『The point is to build a true ‘ark’ on the replica inner plane based on the produced G.E.C.R and surplus resources.』

“Yes.”

Seong-il did not deny that his idea was greatly influenced by Illax’s Ark.

‘Because unlike Ilax, I have no ulterior motives for the human race to rescue.’

Seong-il, who made up his mind like that, decides to build his own ark immediately.

“Inner plane…!!”

Seong-il casts Inner Plane using the split soul contained in the branch of Widgrasil to block the load of the spirit.

Interestingly, the branch of Widgrasil opens a portal connected to another inner plane.

“Oh…!”

The pure white world seen from the other side of the portal. Seong-il is delighted when the cloned inner plane appears as he expected, but at the same time he thinks of various worries.

“Hmm… If you plant a branch of the World Tree on a replica inner plane and the branch gets damaged, will the inner plane collapse? This is a bit of a problem…?”

Seong-il seems to be worried about a serious problem that might arise if his split marriage, which he put in the World Tree, is extinguished.

“That’s something I can help with!”

“Hmm…?”

Seong-il turns his head to look behind him at the sudden beautiful voice he hears behind him. Then, I saw the appearance of a slender beautiful girl with straight light green hair.

“Oh! With Grasil.”

“Long time no see!!”

Perhaps thanks to the spirit spring, the body was completed a lot, but unlike before, the body of Widgrasil was clearly created. As if to show off her body, Widgrasil jumped into Seongil’s arms and rubbed his cheek against his chest.

“How can you help?”

It was nice to play with the beautiful girl in front of her, but she is now in a situation where she wants to do something important in her own life. Because of this, her sexuality shows reason taking precedence over sexual desire for the first time in a long time.

“Simple! It’s like putting branches across this world and other worlds at the same time!”

“…Is that possible?”

“Sure! It’s ‘my eggplant’ in the first place. Not my ‘separated branch’!』

“Ohh…”

Seong-il realizes that with the help of Weed Grassil, she can safely store the branch containing her second marriage in the main inner plane.

‘You mean… You’re trying to open a portal by putting half of the eggplant in the inner plane? If the branch of the cloned inner plane world is damaged, let’s deal with it by restoring it using the remaining branch of the main body.’

Seong-il realizes that as long as she can thoroughly protect the main inner plane, she can safely manage the duplicate inner plane.

‘The main inner plane must be thoroughly concealed. Then, since we can guarantee the safety of Widgrasil, there will be no problem.’

Seong-il, who solved the safety problem, planted a branch for the portal in the cloned inner plane with the help of Widgrasil.

“Oh… Not only does the garden of the goddess get created, but the spirit spring is also duplicated…?!”

Surprisingly, when the branches of Weedgrassil were planted, a meadow full of vitality spread over the desolate land. Seongil could even feel the grass growing little by little.

“Edward. Build a city where people can live right now.”

『I will obey your order!』
