The goal is to find out the identity of the red portal.
Pax has been looking through the data of the synchronized Chamber of Commerce facilities.
As a result, at least on Earth, we were able to receive news faster than ever before.
Tiring!
[This is an order that has just been handed down.] [The 3rd Free Development is scheduled to be carried out under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce.] As expected, it was news of a visit from monsters.
Like other gate portals, the red portal was also a means of transporting invaders from other dimensions.
But the method was different than usual.
“…Monster Wave?”
[Yes.] [Entry to other dimensions will be permitted through ‘temporary gate portals’ by region.] In short, it meant that monsters were pouring out.
However, as the name ‘Freedom Pioneer’ suggests, it is a structure where random enemies invade rather than specific dimensional forces.
‘It’s not like monsters aren’t coming in even now…’
The first and second free developments were still in progress.
Even now, small mobs are coming in through cracks that have appeared all over the Earth.
But this time, there was a marked difference in scale.
[Each wave contains 1,000 or more troops.] [If 500 or more troops enter a sector, ownership of that area will be seized.] “That much?”
[Yes.] A force of as many as 1,000 men, and they come in periodically.
It was a massive event of a scale never seen before, and it wasn’t even confined to Korea.
[This is an event that is being held simultaneously across the globe.] [Two hundred regions have been selected based on population density, magic stone sales, and adjacent terrain, and ‘temporary gate portals’ are being installed sequentially.] [In order of proximity to your current location, they are Seoul, Busan, Tokyo, and Shanghai…] A thousand monsters pouring out from each of the 200 regions.
Soon the Earth would be plagued by seething monsters.
[Earth dimension beings are provided with advance information about hostile forces.] Fortunately, we were given a kind of advantage.
Through the Chamber of Commerce’s information window, we could check information about upcoming enemies in advance.
Moreover, since I have a Chamber of Commerce, I was able to confirm its identity more quickly.
“So, what kind of people are coming into Yongsan?”
[We will display information about the tutorial wave.] Tiring!
Pax displayed a holographic image.
The identity of the 1,000 monsters that will soon invade Yongsan is…
“…Zerglings?”
They were surprisingly familiar guys.
A picture formed in my head.
A thousand Zerglings pouring out of the red portal.
And the sight of Han River Road covered in blood in an instant.
“I see. Zerglings…”
The identity of the red portal was shared with Yoo Seong-cheol.
He just nodded his head quietly.
Ironically, one of the monsters that caused the most damage to the military was this very Zergling.
“Two divisions were annihilated by them at Indukwon. Not only were there so many of them, but they were also not very effective with guns… Of course, things are a lot different now.”
It certainly couldn’t be the same as it was then.
In the meantime, we’ve grown beyond comparison, and the Awakened Forces of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could easily dispatch a mere Zergling.
Of course, the Zerglings were also more advanced, 8th-tier reinforced Zerglings, but if they used reinforced weapons, they could melt those 8th-tier Zerglings like ice cream.
“But we can’t let our guard down. This is only a tutorial.”
“Of course. The military must also be prepared for defense…”
Yoo Seong-cheol strengthened his resolve while imagining the enemies that would come.
At that time, an unexpected guest came to visit us.
“…Lydia?”
“Mr. Jeong-gyeom, I have something to tell you.”
She was rebuilding Europe, which had been ruined by demons and warlocks, and was helping the World Tree grow whenever she had the chance.
She, who had gone back saying she would stay in Prague for a while, suddenly came back in just one day.
“What’s going on?”
“Prague is in danger. No, actually, the whole of Europe is in danger.”
Are red portals emerging in Europe too?
It was entirely possible.
Because the Third Freedom Revolution was about to begin across the globe.
But coincidentally, the enemies she faced were not invaders from another dimension.
“The areas that Permegon occupied were mostly Western European countries. England, France, Germany… that kind of thing. But I heard that several countries in Southern Europe won the bidding competition. They probably grew independently like Korea during that time.”
The world was wide and there were many people.
Most Earthlings suffered terrible defeats, but there were those who, like us, emerged victorious and grew.
The enemies Lydia faced were none other than humans.
“They declared war?”
“Yes. I haven’t used the system yet… They are demanding surrender. I used to support the propaganda… but I didn’t expect it to come back like this….”
After defeating an invasion from outside, they suddenly transformed into new invaders.
The purpose of this situation was also vaguely guessable.
“They’re clearly targeting portals scattered throughout Western Europe. They probably think we own those portals.”
The Prague group took charge of the aftermath in Europe, using the portal I left behind.
In fact, unlike me, for other Awakened people, the portal was more like a kind of loot.
Because by using the declaration of war system, the region that won the territorial dispute could obtain the Gate Portal as a reward.
“You got the wrong number. You won’t be able to use it.”
It was a portal they couldn’t use.
The thirty portals installed in Europe were not the property of the Chamber of Commerce but my personal property, Kim Jeong-gyeom.
A fight that started from a minor misunderstanding.
But from that, I could read the ambitions they harbored.
Lydia revealed the nature of their ambition in more detail.
“I just can’t understand it. Are they trying to conquer the world?”
“They have a reason for this. They want to create a world government…”
CLANG!
At that moment, the table shook violently.
Water from the spilled teacup dripped down the table, and heavy breathing began to fill the silence.
And…
Above him, the operations headquarters chief, Yoo Seong-cheol, was showing off a goblin-like, murderous expression.
“Government… world… government… world… government… world…”
“Calm down, Chief.”
Yoo Seong-cheol entered a strange trance state, reciting the words ‘world’ and ‘government’ as if they were spells.
It was clear that he was quite shocked by the emergence of hostile forces that threatened his dreams.
Awakened people from Southern Europe who dream of world integration.
But there were still some things that were difficult to understand.
“No, then why don’t they just extend their hand peacefully…? Why are they declaring war?”
“That… I think it would be quicker to organize it like this.”
Lydia sighed deeply and continued speaking.
“They call themselves gods. The world government they plan to establish is also a type of theocratic state.”
“Ah…”
A group of mentally ill people who believe they are gods.
Only then did I understand.
“…Is that why the group name is ?”
“…That’s right.”
“Oh my god.”

The emergence of new competitors sharing business territories.
Both they and we dreamed of a world government, but their directions were markedly different.
If Pax FC aimed to restore the world and life, what <Olympus> was aiming for was a terrible regression to ancient society.
<Olympus>’s crusaders were against Pax FC.
A clash with them was inevitable.
“Chief?”
Meanwhile, there was someone who was more determined than anyone else.
Yoo Seong-cheol, Chief of Operations at the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Now that the concept of the Republic of Korea and the Armed Forces that had held him captive his entire life had faded, the goal that dominated his mind was the evolution of Pax FC into a world government.
After muttering about ‘world government’ for a long time, he finally opened his mouth.
“Colonel Kim.”
He still called me Colonel Kim.
After the day I started talking about a world government, I barely managed to stop myself from calling myself the president, and at best, I reached a national consensus to just use the title of colonel.
Regardless of the title, Yoo Seong-cheol had always expressed serious opinions about the long-term future of Pax FC.
He had always emphasized that my subspace logistics center was the only way to overcome the impending destruction and that the subspace portal would become the new symbol of the coming world.
He added with a clear look in his eyes.
“This is something we cannot afford to ignore. The world must have only one center.”
Then he continued speaking calmly.
“The moment there are multiple centers, it is no longer a center. It becomes a battle of mere forces competing against each other. And this has always happened throughout human history.”
What Yoo Seong-cheol desired was a single political system that had never existed in history, and only that could fulfill his dream of rebuilding the Republic of Korea.
And of course, as Yoo Seong-cheol, he could never tolerate the actions of <Olympus> that hindered the uniqueness of Pax FC.
Moreover, it seemed that was not the only thing that had irritated Yoo Seong-cheol.
He asked Lydia,
“How many people in <Olympus> call themselves ‘gods’?”
“There are eleven. I heard that the number has increased and decreased and changed several times.”
A temple of <Olympus> with a promiscuous pairing, practically a dog’s pedigree.
Nana Lydiana’s reaction was truly pitiful, but Yoo Seong-cheol had a rather serious expression.
He looked at me intently for a moment, then continued speaking.
“We can’t stay like this either.”
“······Then?”
“It may seem funny at first that they are talking about the gods of Olympus, but… it is not ineffective. The people will be able to imagine and think of the image of their leader. But our Pax FC only has somewhat bland titles like representative or president, right? So….”
Yoo Seong-cheol silently took out a gray notebook.
Then he unfolded the pre-folded page, showed it to me, and said:
“Let’s change the title. I’ve been thinking about a lot of things.”
“No, I do not want to.”
“Choose from the list here. Imperial Emperor, Fulfillment Grand Emperor, New World God, King God Emperor Jeong Gyeom Kim······.”
“······.”
His eyes gradually became filled with madness.
The impending clash with <Olympus>.
It was a time when we were faced with a new situation called the Third Freedom Revolution.
“I guess I have no choice but to go to Europe······.”
Aside from the ridiculous name <Olympus>, the power of those guys that I heard from Lydia was beyond imagination.
It is said that in just two weeks, the other-dimensional forces that had occupied Austria and Hungary were swept away by sheer force.
No matter how I think about it, it’s a situation where I have to step forward myself to deal with that level of fighting power.
But I was at a loss as to what to do about the monster wave that would soon follow.
‘Will you be okay without me?’
Wheeee······.
A view of the Han River from the rooftop of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters.
I was looking at a road that would soon be filled with monsters.
“What are you so worried about? Everything is already prepared.”
My father, who came to Yongsan with me, tapped me on the shoulder.
“Where they’re coming from, how many are coming, and even what kind of guys are coming are all confirmed. Then it’s no different from a water supply and sewage company.”
The ‘zone’ set by the Chamber of Commerce started from the red portal and stretched along Hangang-daero all the way to Samgakji Station.
The path was clearly visible even from the Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters here.
My father, who was slowly taking in the long road, added:
“Rather than worrying, I’m looking forward to it.”
Suddenly, my father spread his hands like a maestro.
And······.
Jieeeeing.
Red holograms began to fill Hangang-daero.
From obstacles like giant barricades to various combat turrets and even special turrets that utilized debuffs or buffs.
Woof woof!
Hundreds of holographic Zerglings poured out of the red portal, their artillery turrets firing fire that engulfed them alive.
-Kaaaah!
-Hey, you!
The body of the juggling scattered in a spray of bright red blood.
Looking at my father’s turrets standing majestically above it, I couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Father, this is······.”
It was the result of the <Subspace Laboratory>.
As my sister-in-law was using the laboratory in the subspace,
As long as they were near the portal, anyone I authorized could utilize the lab’s capabilities.
There were at least dozens of portals, but there were no problems with their construction.
Pax Construction already had over a thousand professional workers.
My father added the last thing to me.
“Have fun. Daddy will take care of the house.”
