Chapter 268:
Delfina looked around and was bewildered.
What is this
She didnt expect a wide sea or a green meadow, but shouldnt it be a familiar scenery to some extent?
There was nothing but iron around her, and when she looked out the window, she only saw light.
It was as if someone was shooting thousands of arrows of light.
What are they doing here I have no limbs.
She belatedly realized that she was in a soulless state without a body.
It was impossible to cross the walls of dimensions and time with a body, even with the power of Yggdrasil and divinity.
Its a relief that I can hear. But how do I find Leobold in this place?
She looked around carefully, but there was nothing familiar.
It was full of boxes and strange devices made of unidentified materials.
She approached a box and tried to read the letters, but gave up.
What language is this?
It certainly wasnt Astra.
It must be his home world, the other world.
As she looked around again, she heard a beep and someone came in.
It was a woman in a dark blue work suit.
She lifted her hat and sighed.
Clean up the warehouse? Is this something a human can do?
The Legion Strike Fleet was rightfully the strongest fleet of the human alliance, but they had nothing ready because of the sudden mission.
They didnt even have enough workers, so everyone was having a hard time.
All the functions of the fleet were focused on destroying the Plague Queens nest deployed in the main orbit of Pluto, and everything else was trivial.
No matter what, we need some workers And why is it so cold
It was because of Delfina, who was nearby in a soulless state.
She realized that she hadnt been noticed and sighed with relief as she entered the intruders body.
It was impossible to completely take over her body, but she could move it like controlling an animal.
Haha Success.
As her soul merged, the original owners memories flowed into her.
She remembered living among many people in a huge and grand castle, becoming a soldier, and joining some fleet.
Legion Strike Fleet? Is it inside a ship?
She had no idea what kind of ship was full of iron like this.
Delfina cleared her throat and spoke.
Ah, um Hello. Im Huh?
She greeted them in the continental language, but what she heard was a completely different language.
It was strange, but Delfina had no time.
Leobold He said his original name was Yu Ji-ha. Anyway, I just have to kill him. He should be somewhere here
It was information from Kyoguk.
They were fools for falling for Drizdens temptation and giving such important information.
Legion Strike Fleet It would be troublesome if he was on another ship.
She thought about various things as she approached the door, which opened automatically.
Amazing Is it powered by ether?
There were doors like this in Elvrande too, but they werent common enough to be used in places like warehouses.
When she went out to the hallway, there were more than one or two of these doors.
How big is this ship?
The hallway meant that it couldnt get out of the ships class.
The largest airship in Elvrande had a hallway that was only 10 meters long, and it was full of all kinds of equipment and structures.
But the hallway she saw stretched out and looked very neat.
As she cautiously went outside, someone waved at her.
Lisa, Lisa! Did you finish cleaning up the warehouse?
Uh No. I was about to do it.
Youre not doing it now, youre going to the bridge now. The maintenance team has been deployed elsewhere, so we have to install the fire control cables.
What did she do?
Delfina had no time to answer as she dragged her along.
The inside of the ship was huge.
She ran and walked for several minutes, but there was no sign of the bridge.
On the contrary, there were very few people.
There were no mixed races either.
They said there were only humans in the other world. They look different in skin color, but theyre all humans.
Were there no elves here?Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (
Anyway, she was dragged near the bridge and made to pull a cable.
She thought it was a simple line, but it was a thick line as thick as an arm, incredibly large and heavy.
Someone came out in front of everyone and shouted.
The battle is about to begin! Our job is to finish installing the fire control cables before that! There arent many people, so youll have to use all your strength!
Delfina looked at the corner as he spoke.
A short warning sounded and a voice came from the corner.
Prepare to decelerate the fleet. Main booster reverse thrust starts. 5, 4, 3.
Soon the ship shook and the light coming in from the window decreased.
Delfina pushed people away and stuck to the window.
Surprisingly, a dark space greeted her.
What are they doing here
All she saw was a strange space full of black.
She could find out the identity of this space through the original owners memory.
Space.
The unknown area that humanity finally reached beyond the earth.
Even 20 years ago, space hardly gave itself to humanity, but it changed because of one person.
He was Yu Ji-ha.
He said he was a soldier, but maybe he was also an ether engineer.
She stopped looking around and squeezed in between people to listen to the speech.
She wanted to hear where Yu Ji-ha was, but he didnt come up at all.
I think its hard with this body, so Ill have to find another one.
He wouldnt know her at all, so she could just sneak up on him at night and kill him.
A loud alarm rang in her ears as she searched for prey.
Warning. Massive ether detected from the nest. The Plague fleet has started to move. Named A1 fleet from now on.
She thought of ships floating on the water or airships when she heard the word fleet, and was surprised.
Hundreds, thousands of monsters popped out of the ruins and gathered together.
They looked small at a glance, but they were monsters that were hundreds of meters long each.
But Somehow, the appearance of the Plague was very similar to something she knew.
Arent they demons? Theyre so big?
To fully analyze the power, he needed to make contact with it.
He didnt have to bring it here, he could just activate the measuring device and analyze it from a distance.
While they were chatting, Delphina had completed several paintings.
That was when you had your first battle in the orbit of Pluto.
He remembered that everything was lacking except for the firepower, because they had organized so hastily.
But thanks to Armas control, there were no big problems in navigation and combat.
Only the crew suffered a lot.
If you saw that scene, you would have realized that Masters assassination was meaningless. You must be starting to worry now.
As Arma said, Delphina was worried.
It was crazy to contact Leobold with that information, and she wondered where she could sell this information for a high price.
Theres no one else but the Holy Kingdom.
They were the only ones who noticed that Leobold came from another world.
I was going to kill you when you became unnecessary, but you keep proving your usefulness. I think its better to leave you alone for now.
Delphina was a dangerous existence, but there was no big problem because they could control her.
At this rate, you will be able to absorb all the powers of the Astera Pantheon.
How about the Elven Pantheon?
Im in the process of verifying the existence of divinity through Margretas notes. Yggdrasil is definitely a god and her saint Ruster is also a god. But Im not sure about Ailid.
There was still a lot to analyze.
In fact, the gods of Astera were far from omnipotent and had limited powers that were closer to transcendents.
Therefore, if Arma analyzed all their powers, she would be able to look down on most of the gods.
If she was that powerful, what could he call her master Leobold?
He took his eyes off Delphina.
What do you think will happen if the Kingdom gets the information?
They wont be able to do anything great. Its all speculation and they dont trust the Shadow Elves anyway. But they might confirm Masters identity and spread it across the continent.
That doesnt sound too dangerous.
Most of the people who could influence Leobold were already known.
The only problem was that the information that the Kingdom extracted through the saintess was not something he could ignore.
According to Arma, it was 2053 on Earth now.
Are you sure? Its only been five years?
He had passed through the warp gate with the new pioneer fleet in 2048, but something was strange.
The saintesss power is getting stronger and stronger, and recently she can even hear peoples voices. Many people said it was 2048.
Tell me exactly whats going on.
Arma told him the results of digging up information from the Holy Kingdom.
In short, it was a mess.
After we left, all the megacities were engulfed in extreme chaos. Except for Pacific, most of them broke out in civil wars and it got worse after the Legion Strike Fleet returned.
I thought I had divided up several megacities so they could share them.
Not only the Legion Strike Fleet, but also the existing space platforms and fleets had their ownership divided.
Many megacities in Pacific and Korea, which were the core, had a lot of power, but they didnt exceed 40%.
It meant that he wanted them to focus on Pacific and restore the land that had been abandoned before.
But when Leobold and Arma disappeared at the same time, many megacities started to use their power excessively to regain their dominance.
The most representative ones are Megacity America and Deutsch, who criticized Master and entered into an alliance formation. Many places including Megacity Manchuria responded and Pacific is isolated.
Except for North and South?
Yes. Pacific, North, and South are one body.
They were very close because they were located in Korea and North Pacific.
According to her explanation, Earth was undergoing a reorganization of power by taking advantage of Leobolds absence.
This was what he expected.
Without Armas control, chaos was inevitable and it was predictable that each megacity would start acting independently.
But he didnt expect that nine megacities led by America would stamp a mark on him under the name of maintenance.
They call him the worst murderer who abandoned seven billion people, a cowardly power-monger who ran away to save himself, and a cruel dictator who oppressed megacities too much.
Ive been cursed so much that I dont feel much.
He had heard all kinds of negative words about him during his 20 years of activity as Maintenance.
It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that every derogatory word on Earth came before his name.
The bitter thing was that he had taken measures to preserve humanity, but they had completely forgotten that.
It was probably because the damage was too great except for the megacities.
In the end, 1.2 billion people were accommodated in 12 megacities.
The remaining seven billion were just abandoned.
For years, plagues appeared in the solar system hundreds of times and caused tremendous damage.
The Earth Fleet tried to intercept them as much as possible, but they couldnt prevent the damage completely.
Many cities were destroyed and by 2045, the carbon emission level had dropped to one-fifth of what it was 10 years ago.
That hatred accumulated. The remaining politicians gathered their hatred for Master and used it for their own power. I guess the more powerful and hateful the enemy is, the higher the concentration of power.
So whats their goal?
To unify Earth. Its only a matter of time before they absorb the rest of the megacities, except for Pacific, North, and South.
Congressman Baek Sung-min must have messed up.
It was impressive that he had managed to calm the people and become the speaker of the parliament in the midst of that chaos.
Leobold had hoped that humanity would move forward towards the future, towards the space, while fighting and struggling moderately after he left the solar system.
But humanity was only trying to expand their power by gathering hatred under the name of maintenance, instead of working hard on space development after the plague disappeared.
That was the atmosphere in most of the megacities, except for three.
Its bitter, but I cant help it Thats the future they chose.
Do you want to go back?
Not yet.
As he had said several times, he still had things to do here.
Returning to Earth was something he had to do after finishing everything, even if he put aside the possibility.
And in some ways, leaving Earth as it was might be the right thing to do.
Because thats their choice. Right?
I will follow Masters decision.
Leobold nodded and listened to the rest of her report.
The war was nearing its end thanks to Valgad, who had slaughtered nearly a hundred Goliaths in Heston Canyon.
Currently, Galisto has lost its will to fight and Duke Gram is showing his willingness to surrender. It is expected that entering the capital will not be difficult.
What about Zaium?
The emperor has sent another envoy. He might want to end the war at this point.
I want to wrap it up too, but theres one person who doesnt want that.
For example, Archduke Pangral.
He had only suffered losses in this war, so he would want to make up for it.
He must have rejoiced at seeing Camillas territory empty, but he didnt know that it was Leobolds trap.
All that was left was to swallow up both lands at once and beg for mercy from the emperor.
Lets go and take over Galisto. Send out the fleet.
Leobold watched the airship fleet preparing to depart from the direct territory.
They looked pitiful compared to the Legion Strike Fleet, but they would change a lot in the future.
