It’s been a week since the Lethelins recovered their bodies.
Time has passed quickly.
“oh······.”
The dull, grayish skin was nowhere to be found.
The once thin limbs were filled with sturdy muscles, and now the Rethels’ entire bodies were covered in copper-colored skin.
Because of the light oil that naturally seeped out of their bodies, the Lethelians’ defined abs curved like valleys whenever light shone on them.
‘The clarity is no joke······.’
A feat that lasted only a week.
Moreover, it wasn’t just ‘fashion muscle’.
Because it was 100% pure ‘combat muscle’ prepared for the war with Sabros.
As if to prove this, Tereb walked out with a solemn expression.
“······.”
The place he arrived was in front of Uncheolgu.
If you think about it, it was the first ‘supply item’ that I invested in Letel, but the Letel people began to regard Uncheolgu as sacred, saying that it was a test passed down to their descendants.
‘I just took it out to look at it.’
The hidden story was not even considered.
Tereb strode towards the cloud gate, and hundreds of Retelians gulped.
Then, Tereb sincerely longed to pass the test and be recognized as the true successor of the ‘ancestors’.
“Whoop······.”
Tereb, with a thick leather belt around his waist, clutching a large scepter.
His thighs, arms, and shoulders swelled like balloons.
“Ugh!”
He closed his eyes tightly with each exhalation.
I pressed the ground with my entire sole and pulled out my weight······.
“I······ heard!”
The audience was amazed, but Tereb did not let go of the tension.
Because the test didn’t end with just taking it.
I don’t know who on earth decided this, but judging by the way the threads are going, that’s how it is.
Ten, nine, eight, seven······ As I slowly repeated the numbers in my mind······.
“ten!”
Kuuuuung!
The iron ball hit the floor, and the solid rubber plate of the Emes dimension was shattered in an instant.
“······Tereb!”
Tereb, who had put in all his strength, stumbled backwards, and his friends supported the hero who had taken the test.
Tereb limps towards me, supported by someone.
He spoke to me with a completely exhausted expression.
“Now I am your true descendant, my great ancestor······.”
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
Tereb’s declaration that he passed the test.
A gasp of excitement erupted from the audience.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of drums echoed along with the clink.
Dozens of Lethelians celebrated the hero’s victory with kettlebell swings.
Then everyone looked at me with a moved expression.
As if all this had happened under your gaze, as if you weren’t proud of your sons and daughters.
‘What is this?’
I repeat, I didn’t order any of it.
Although the growth of the Lethelians was confirmed, there was still a real battle with Sabros left.
‘No matter how strong you become… it’s not something you can guarantee.’
Through the slowly fading curtain, the lizardmen could be seen slowly rising from the swamp.
There were also giant snakes like Drake and Costas that we faced in Incheon, and all of them, without exception, had hard carapace.
Beneath that thick shell, it must have the powerful muscles characteristic of large-scale squids.
“Definitely······stronger than the guys I saw in Incheon.”
Letel was a dimension that had already been destroyed once.
Since we have been invaded for a long time, stronger forces will have invaded.
Even in the same Sabros, there was a high probability that stronger monsters would have entered compared to those on Earth.
“Don’t let your guard down.”
“······I will listen carefully, Ancestor.”
Tereb nodded.
The reptiles of Sabros cut through the water as if they were going to pounce at any moment.
Although the Lethelians had achieved rapid growth, they might have ended up repeating the tragedy of the Laocoon statue covered in snakes.
“Fight without pressure. If you really feel like it won’t work out, I’ll support you.”
“I will never disappoint you, Ancestor.”
Tereb nodded, his eyes shining.
Now, I had given up on explaining.
Jii······.
A thick golden curtain.
The Rethels and lizards, with their upper bodies exposed through the curtain, continued their tense response······.
Shoo······.
Hwaaaaak!
“It’s open!”
Kaaaaang!
As soon as the curtain was raised, they rushed toward each other.
Strong, sturdy muscles and a tough upper.
It seemed that Sabros had also specially selected a leader and sent him to the front.
Percussion!
Tereb and the Lizardman leader clasped their fists.
Then, they started to compete with each other, trembling all over their bodies.
“Ugh!”
As a result, Tereb suddenly bent his back into a low squat position······.
Choaaaaaaah!
“oh my god.”
Immediately, he tore off both of the lizardman’s arms left and right.
“Kaaaaaaaaaah!”
A lizardman leader with yellow snake eyes rolled back and foam flowing from his long mouth.
As if this was a signal, the Rethels charged at the remaining Sabros forces all at once.
“Wow!”
The shouts of the Lethel people make your hair stand on end just by hearing them.
Only then did I realize.
‘You fight well.’
That there was no need to worry at all.
Phew!
“Ugh!”
Bam!
“Whew!”
He threw the iron barbell like a spear.
He hit the dumbbell and gave the reptiles a concussion.
The Lethelians swept away Sabros’ forces in one breath.
Thanks to the rush of all the troops in the area, we were able to reclaim one area in just one battle.
Bam!
“Kueeek!”
Tiring!
[6,654 Magic Stones will be paid out as investment profits.]
Tereb dealt with the gate nuke installed in the area, and a considerable amount of magic stones were deposited into my account.
It was the same when the Lethelians dealt with the Lizardmen. I couldn’t figure out the exact calculation method, but it seemed like every time the Lethelians earned magic stones, some of it was distributed to me.
Gulp.
A golden yolk spreading out around the murky swamp.
Hwaaaaaaaah!
With the Gate core gone, the cavernous area of Sabros that had been formed through terraforming was quickly sucked into the Gate.
As a result, the swamps that had stretched from the occupied area to the Tertius region disappeared, and soft dirt floors reappeared.
“······It’s definitely different from Earth.”
Compared to Earth, the size of the Retel dimension was significantly smaller.
Letel was divided into six regions, but even when all of them were combined, they were not even as big as Gyeonggi-do.
‘Now all that’s left is······.’
Of the six regions, the remaining four regions are to be recovered one by one.
And ultimately, the goal is to reclaim the , the holy place of the Rethels in Tlon.
The Lethelians, who had finished the fight, were catching their breath, and I looked at the traces Sabros had left behind before the next battle began.
and······.
Crap!
A crevice in the rock that Tereb had opened with his bulging muscles.
From there, we came across a familiar, yet completely weathered facility.
‘······Chamber of Commerce?’
The facility looks identical to the Chamber of Commerce in the subspace.
However, the unique blue color had disappeared without a trace, and it was broken and rusted in various places, as if it had lost its repulsive power.
In terms of scale, it is the size of a ‘branch-level’ business acquired in Japan.
Judging by the fact that it had been damaged for a very long time, it seems that Sabros’ ‘declaration of war’ was brokered by a separate higher authority.
and······.
Looking at the neglected chamber of commerce facilities, I was struck by a strange feeling.
“······They just leave it like this.”
How on earth is this world made?
Unlike the Earth, which is all connected in a circle, Rethel was a small world fragmented like fragments.
It was a wasteland that was no longer profitable because it was taken over by Sabros, and the Chamber of Commerce had abandoned the facility without any regrets.
“Come to think of it······ There wasn’t any significant reaction from Earth either.”
The Japanese branch and even the European headquarters were placed in subspace.
Even though two facilities that managed the area were completely destroyed, the Chamber of Commerce was so indifferent that it made no effort to determine the cause.
How big must it be that it doesn’t even blink when its entire lower body is blown away?
However, the identity of the Chamber of Commerce was vaguely felt······.
“You’ll figure it out little by little.”
Someday I would be able to solve that puzzle.
If you restore the six-piece Retel dimension into one, and then collect dozens or hundreds of completed pieces,
If we drive out all the invaders that have invaded Earth.
Maybe one day we will face the truth about this destruction.
.
.
.
“hmm······?”
“Ancestor, are you coming now?”
The Retelites, including Tereb, suddenly stood up from their seats.
Knock knock.
widely!
A bonfire with smoke rising.
Among them, the identity of the meat being skewered and sizzling is······.
“······Sabros?”
It was the lizardman of Sabros.
therefore······.
“Ancestors, please eat it too! There is no better nutrient for muscle growth!”
It was a special protein for the Retelians.
To be exact, they were made from the enemies they defeated.
There was no other savage warrior in the world who would roast and eat defeated enemies.
“I’m done. Eat lots.”
“Ah······ This is really good······.”
Lethelians smiling broadly while chewing on lizard meat.
The first match against Sabros had just ended.
After tonight, the Lethelians will continue the fight to reclaim the remaining four regions.
‘These are the best conditions for growth.’
In the main camp, we use relics and ruins to make iron works.
In the battlefield, we competed physically and did aerobic exercise on the swamp.
After the battle, they roasted lizards to get protein.
This is truly the royal road of muscle growth.
Ironically, Sabros was the best growth partner for the Lethelians.
“······I think it’s okay to leave it to this.”
If I step forward myself, or maybe even just give them reinforced weapons, I should be able to deal with Sabros’ forces without a hitch.
However, since the Lethels were able to grow quickly through Sabros, it was decided to leave the remaining battles to them.
‘It was a good investment.’
Pax Investment’s first investment.
It could be said to be a kind of fuse.
Several resources from the logistics center revived the Retelians,
As a result, the situation with Sabros was turned around 180 degrees.
“······It is an honor, Ancestor.”
When he said that he would leave the remaining fight to Tereb, he looked rather touched.
It seems they took it as me, their ancestor, acknowledging their abilities.
With a face full of emotion and tears in his eyes, he repeatedly thanked me on behalf of the Retel dimension.
“No, what, you guys did it······.”
Regardless of the success or failure of the investment, I was also happy to see the Letelites’ publicity.
The situation of those trampled by Sabros was no different from that of Earth.
It was a great comfort to me that they had managed to ward off even a small destruction.
And then, at this time······.
Tiring!
Pax has some news.
“······What is it, Ancestor?”
“It’s nothing. It happens periodically.”
The news is that another wave of monsters is coming.
It was an event that came and went, now forgotten, and was clear evidence that the Earth was still at war.
“Ancestors, we can help you. If you just leave it to us······.”
“You must retake the rest of the area. You must not give Sabros a chance to prepare.”
Monsters that will soon surge across the Earth.
But we already had a new means of combating the monster waves.
Pax FC is now a full-fledged business, and thanks to that, it can spread its ‘field effects’ everywhere.
“Fight well. I’ll go home for a bit.”
It was time to check out some more loot.
