Chapter 805 – Declaration of War
In addition, since nanomachines were distributed within the Eden Hunter’s body, the Gaia system quantified the level of combat power and sharp judgment the hunters had while training in the dungeon and regularly reported it to the Eden Hunter. Eden, which had accumulated objective data, used to rate its own hunters.
‘At first, there were a lot of people saying it was an excessive invasion of privacy…’
To put it positively, it means collecting the hunter’s experience and accumulating data, but from another perspective, it can be seen as thoroughly monitoring his every move, so some hunters complained to Eden that it seemed to be an excessive invasion of their privacy.
‘I’m glad the compromise worked out.’
Instead of suppressing the opposing hunters with his authority, Seong-il was able to compromise by providing them with a G.E.C.R. In the form of a black box and allowing them to check the video themselves first.
G.E.C.R., A type of attendant that assists individual hunters, has more overwhelming computing power than a typical G.E.C.R. Instead, it is responsible for extracting experience information from hunters and extracting and editing their battle videos.
However, in the process, the work was carried out in such a way that the G.E.C.R. Thoroughly erased the hunter’s personal information and memories unrelated to the battle and delivered them to the hunter for permission. The hunters, who were convinced by the reasonable process, began to stop protesting.
‘At first, I was worried because some people wanted to beat up the hunter, but I’m glad they were convinced.’
Anyway, based on the hunter grade system that was established after many twists and turns, the Gaia system identified a number of people with excellent judgment and skills, and based on that list, the current executives were selected through additional judgment by Goddess, Seongil, and faculty. .
‘I can finally use the executives in actual combat.’
If they can lead other hunters as well as expected and succeed in simultaneous attacks against the Transcendence Church in various areas, it will be of great help to Seong-il and Eden, so Seong-il once again hopes that they will do well in this mission.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Of course!! Seeker!!”
Seong-il sits in the center of the round table, holds his weight, and asks questions to each team leader. Monitors facing various directions were installed on the round table, making Seongil’s appearance clearly visible to those around him.
“I explained it to you once before, and we’ve already prepared to some extent through simulations and dungeon exploration maps, but… I’ll give the presentation again as a final check.”
Seong-il, holding his weight to the fullest, raises a huge hologram as he has practiced dozens of times alone and persistently explains what each team should do and how he will buy time in the process.
“… Therefore, the role of the 100-member advance team that will be dispatched through the newly installed dimensional gateways in 10 locations across the country is very important.”
“Just trust us!!”
A scout who is effectively the team leader of each team of 100 starters. This time, they were planning to leave for their respective areas to scout and secure a base through the Pineapple Houses that Seongil had worked so hard to set up across the country for two days.
“I believe it. Let’s all do our best to create a base. That’s it!”
“Yes!”
As soon as Seongil’s should fell, the hunter leaders quickly got up from their seats to prepare for the next day’s scouting, as they had prepared in advance.
“Whoa… It should work out.”
Seong-il watches them from afar and worries. But, that lasts for a while. After quickly gathering himself, he also moves to Seoul and prepares to attempt a ‘counterattack’.
***
『I ask for the last time. Has each team member fully familiarized themselves with the map where the dungeon location is located and the area they are responsible for?』
『Completed!』
Seong-il, sitting at the central gate where Pineapple Houses from each level are gathered, asks each team leader whether the final preparations are complete. The team leaders confidently answer his questions. Seong-il, who heard their reliable answer, orders them to sortie through the nanomachine communicator.
『For Humanity!!』
『For Eden!!』
The hunters respond violently to the shout of one hunter and move to the dimensional gateway. As they return to reality and time begins to flow normally, Seong-il also quickly uses the dimensional Pineapple House to move to Seoul.
『Don’t forget the order of missions.』
『Yes!』
Although Seong-il’s repeated demands may be annoying, the team leaders respond to his calls without being offended at all. After Seong-il hears their cries, he calmly checks the signals spread across the country in augmented reality to check the progress.
‘Good. It’s spreading well.’
The movements of the hunters seem to be steadily scouting to secure the base. They were planning to plant Withgrasil’s branches in a base unrelated to the dimensional Pineapple House and then bring their respective team members to reality.
When the team members were brought back to reality, the team leaders were promised to enter the dungeon they were each in charge of, destroy it, and plant the deceptive dungeon that Seong-il had given them.
Once the deception dungeon was set up, the team members planned to attack the city all at once and ‘rescue’ civilians indiscriminately. As originally planned, there was a high possibility that the administrator would appear and raid the hunters due to that process, so Seong-il held a grand ‘party’ in Seoul today and tried to bring all the administrators to Seoul.
‘I’ll have to last at least half a day… Is that possible?’
Seong-il feels a weight growing on his shoulders as he remembers the mission he must complete. However, nothing can be solved by being anxious, so he grits his teeth and begins walking around downtown Seoul again.
‘Is that the headquarters of the hunter association established by the government?’
The building of the Hunter Association built by the government appears in front of Seong-il, who was walking quickly while hiding himself like a ghost. Since the Hunter Association in front of him was a weapon of the government that sold out humanity and a hound of the Transcendence Church, Seong-il had chosen this place as the first victim among countless targets.
‘Bastards.’
Seong-il curses under his breath as he looks at the majestic Hunters Association, which was built on the site of the former National Assembly building. Meanwhile, out of nowhere, an unidentified man is standing in front of the country’s most important facility, looking at it and muttering something, and a psychic who appears to be a security guard approaches Seong-il.
“Hey! Why are you standing at the entrance of this place? This is the country’s most important facility. If you keep messing around here, you could be shot!”
A male voice full of frustration. After taking a quick look at him, Seong-il uses his sensitivity to examine his abilities.
‘Ho… Is it a double?’
Surprisingly, the man in front of me, who I thought was a simple security guard, was determined to be a user of psionic sensing and telekinesis. Seong-il once again feels how important the Transcendental Church attaches to this place as even the guard dog guarding the entrance is a double.
“Hey. Can’t you hear me? You look like an ordinary person… A mask? Why are you wearing a mask? Are you rebelling against society?”
Even though he was a superpower with a psionic detection ability, he seemed unable to understand Seongil’s abilities at all. Seong-il is amused by the other person’s reaction and responds to him in a mocking tone.
“Yeah. I don’t like those damn hunters, so I’m going to turn them all over.”
“… Such a crazy bastard.”
The person with the sensing ability seems to have lost his temper when the non-powerful person in front of him shows off his arrogance against a person with a double ability like himself. He approaches Seong-il with a grim expression and raises his hand.
“Hey, civilian. You think I’m joking when I say you could be shot… Ugh!!”
Hunter, who had raised his hand to lift the ear swaddle of the helpless person in front of him, was suddenly startled when he felt his neck being squeezed hard.
“Sensing and telekinesis. It’s pretty good for a double, but…”
“!!!”
“Then what should I do? I can’t sense any of the supernatural powers of other psychics right in front of me.”
“Keheek…!! Keek!!”
After realizing that the psychopath in front of him is a psychic and even receiving confirmation from him, Hunter desperately tries to send a signal by moving his body. Seeing that handsome appearance, Seong-il smiles wryly and then unleashes even stronger telekinesis and injects it into his body.
“Big… Big gasp…!!”
It feels like your whole body is being pressed into a press machine. Due to the terrible pain, the hunter eventually faints with his eyes rolled back.
“Now… Shall we start playing in earnest?”
After shouting coldly, Seong-il naturally stretches his hands to the sky and uses his magic book abilities to recite civilization.
“Meteor Swarm!!”
As Seong-il recites the spell, a huge portal begins to open in the air. And beyond that, countless clusters of meteorites.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Countless rocks the size of a human body begin to fall from the sky. Since it was not just a rock but a meteorite mixed with magical powers, the Hunter Association building that was directly hit by the attack began to take damage despite having a psionic defense field.
“Meteor Swarm!! Meteor Swarm!!”
Even Seong-il, perhaps feeling that that wasn’t enough, began to open the portal, and in the end, a huge amount of meteorites began to rain down on the association building.
“Knock it all down, you alien hounds!!”
