chapter 159
Only one wish (5)
When I saw the abnormality of the wires at the Altar of the Stars, I thought.
How could such a thing be possible?
The front line where the Demon Beast and humanity meet is called the ‘Sloan Great Wall’, and it has a huge length that fits the name of the Great Wall.
When there were still four corps commanders, the front line they all stepped up to create.
That vast territory, the emperor was commanding with his own power.
‘How was that possible?’
I found the answer in the existence of the singularity.
“It’s not the emperor who’s holding the line.”
“No… then who?”
“The corps commander must be.”
I said looking at the sky that was getting darker.
“Brigade commander…? Are you talking about Arachne? But Arachne alone—”
“It’s not Arachne.”
The power of the corps commander is strong, but it cannot cover all of that wide front with just one.
But in other words, if you have enough numbers, you can cover it.
The time when all the corps commanders, including Diablo, were still alive.

Just as it created a tangent to that vast human race.
“Couldn’t it be that the emperor made a new corps commander?”
“Yes.”
“So suddenly?”
“It’s not all of a sudden.”
In Balthazar’s inner world, Kaya of the Old World had spoken.
It was the Singularity that helped the Emperor create the Corps Commander.
The reason why the four of them were able to have more power than the Constellation.
That’s because the beings who created constellations in the past contributed to their birth.
And the emperor is holding hands with that singularity.
And maybe, he wields that power in some way.
“Assuming so, it wouldn’t be speculation.”
“·······.”
“Adeline. Come out.”
I invoked Adeline through my connected sympathetic nervous system.
“what’s the matter?”
“Can you catch the signals of the nervous system of people on the front line?”
“I got caught. There’s a lot of communication, but it’s so far away that I don’t know what it’s about.”
After all, is it impossible to read?
Through the base station, the sympathetic nervous system extends across the frontlines, but due to distance and range issues, it seemed impossible to intercept even Adeline.
Interpreting hundreds of billions of weak signals at once would be difficult even for constellations, so it wasn’t something they couldn’t understand.
“I’ll try to observe with the sympathetic nervous system for a while, so get ready. The direction is toward the wire.”
“wire? Where?」
“The entire Great Wall of Sloane.”
At the word “whole,” Skadi, who was next to her, became puzzled.
Communications from the sympathetic nervous system are not separately encrypted, so she heard them too.
“What do you see when you look at the whole thing?”
“It’s okay because I’m not accepting it visually.”
There was no need to worry about the limitations of the eyes as it was accepting the information itself observed by Adeline.
“No… I mean, can you see such a wide range at once?”
“it’s possible.”
Would I have told you if it didn’t work?
I looked around at the professors who were silent.
“From now on, we’ll deliver it through the sympathetic nervous system. Get ready.”
If the signal of the sympathetic nervous system is not shot from this side, but collected on the contrary, it can be used for observation purposes.
It is to collect signals from the entire sympathetic nervous system network with the ‘domination’ stage of mind control, which is largely similar to radio telescopes.
This allows farther and more detailed observations than any telescope ever had.
Although there is a downside to having a consciousness nearby.
“Was that even possible?”
“Perhaps it is possible.”
I’ve never actually done it
We only know that it is theoretically possible with the help of base stations and orbital circles.
Signals from the sympathetic nervous system are induced by the base station, and the circle is wrapped in mental control to obtain huge resolution like the antenna of a radio telescope.
They didn’t even write it as a thesis, so they wouldn’t know.
“I’m ready”
At Adeline’s signal, I deployed mind control through my sympathetic nervous system.
Observation information from wires pouring in from afar is condensed through the base station and amplified by the power of the orbital circle.
Thus, the collected information began pouring into our heads via Adeline’s network.
“This···.”
“·······.”
The scenery on the front lines was devastating.
Demon beasts and human corpses covered the vast plain.
Scattered bloodstains and countless traces of destruction.
Everyone shut their mouths at the unbelievable appearance that the half-day battle had created.
And beyond the wire, I saw the beings located on the other side of the wilderness.
With a terrible appearance that looks like a mixture of numerous monsters, they come to the battlefield with shining eyes.
From what I observed, the magic they possessed was clearly equivalent to that of the corps commander.
“Brigade commander…?”
“Ha, but the corps commanders are all dead except for Arachne, aren’t they?”
The observed number of corps commander-level objects had already exceeded six.
A corps commander who uses a power he has never seen before in an appearance he has never seen before.
And the allied forces are repeatedly retreating to avoid such a corps commander.
Allied forces were running away from the blood-splattered battlefield.
“how···.”
The professors couldn’t open their mouths at the end of Skadi’s devastated voice.
He was the commander of the corps who killed so hard.
The resurrection of the legionnaires who had been devastating mankind for a long time was enough to send people into panic.
“·······.”
However, I was not quick to judge.
I closed my mouth and concentrated, carefully examining the information coming from my observations.
Huge command objects considered to be corps commanders.
The power they possess and the way they are used, the tightness of the sympathetic nervous system they create.
and the quality of command given to combat entities.
After examining them closely, I was able to come to a conclusion.
I opened my eyes and saw people.
“Did we… lose?”
“Can’t it be, is it so pointless to lose?”
“How did this happen…”
The atmosphere was already sinking to the bottom without end.
Is it because of the sight you just showed me?
I stared at them with a slightly bewildered gaze.
“Why do you go through a ceremony saying you’ve already been defeated?”
“Ha, but if there are so many corps commanders…!”
“There is no need to worry so much.”
“···Yeah?”
My eyes naturally focused in this direction.
It’s an encouraging reaction.
In battle, having allies fall into a panic is something that should be avoided the most.
After clearing my voice, I opened my mouth calmly as usual.
“Their power itself is the same as that of the corps commander. There is no big difference. But the spirit within them is not.”
He patted my head and said so.
The existing corps commanders were made as sacrifices of the emperor’s old colleagues.
Patrick, Kaya, Wolfgang and Angela of the old world.
The great men who were active in the old world until the end of the war, and the heroes of the reverse who killed Diablo even in my world.
Can a corps commander imitate the resourcefulness and combat sense possessed by a corps commander who made them out of materials?
I could definitely say no.
“I heard from my Constellation that the power of the soul is the same as the karma that is embraced. I don’t think those improvised corps commanders have such depth of soul.”
“·······.”
In other words, it means that only the outer shell is noisy, but the kernel itself is not very substantial.
“If you look at the observational data, that’s the case.”
Blood and corpses were everywhere, but if you look closely, most of them are demons.
Originally, the Witchbeast was a monster with black blood, but here it had red blood and was similar in shape to a human.
“Panic. That’s exactly what the Emperor is aiming for.”
Demons similar to humans.
The reappearance of the corps commander.
And the battlefield where bloodstains are scattered.
He must have guessed that I had some way of observing the entire Great Wall of Sloane.
And he must have known that the observation information would be seen by others as well.
‘A clever fellow.’
It not only induces external attacks, but even collapses from the inside.
Even if I say this, there will definitely be people who can’t calm down, and it’s no different from a time bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.
“It seems that the emperor is close.”
Roshua looked up at the sky and let out a sigh as she saw the place now pitch-black.
Everyone’s face is powerless.
It’s weaker than the corps commander, but still, the number is 6, so the fighting spirit is going out.
I sighed and told them.
“The Witchbeast called me ‘the god of preparation’.”
“·······?”
“I’ll show you. Why did you get that nickname?”
Connecting to the sympathetic nervous system, connecting to a person farther away than now.
The outskirts of Sloane’s Wall.
Somewhere away from the front lines, the person I had sent before responded.
“Yeah. professor.”
It was none other than Estelle’s voice.
*
“All right.”
Estelle, who responded to Yujin Kang’s command, looked back.
“Did you hear?”
“yes···!”
“Of course~”
Cynthia and Encia, who were together, smiled broadly and answered.
The outskirts of the Great Wall under the starry sky.
From an isolated dimension, they gazed up at the sky reddened by the flames of battle.
There was determination in their eyes as they gazed at the battlefield.
“I’ll be in charge of the command object. Depending on the situation, I’ll deal with the corps commander level. Encia, you have to assist.”
“OK!”
Constellation “Saint of the Oracle”.
And the awakened angels.
If the power of two people unprecedented in history were combined, they would be able to generate mighty power that surpasses even ordinary constellations.
And.
“Cynthia.”
“···yes.”
They saw Cynthia for the last time.
“Wipe it all away.”
“·······.”
Her expression was already hazy.
It means being in touch with someone’s mind.
And following her spirit, countless spirits responded.
A wide plain spread out behind the hill on which the three stood.
There, the existing ‘real’ monsters raised their heads with countless eyes shining.
“I will.”
Following her will, the monsters howl.
Dragons, as well as ghosts, snakes, and even spiders.
After Cynthia realized her own mental control, ‘Negotiation’, they were the demon beasts that she constantly wandered around the dimension and attracted to the same side.
“Isn’t the professor really amazing? You predicted all of this!”
“Not all of them.”
Encia made a fuss, but Estelle shook her head.
No matter how strong you are, you cannot predict the future in such detail.
Because he’s not a prophet.
However, he was only predicting the plans the emperor drew.
How to manage the wide front, and how to attack Helios.
And, what kind of synergy will he create with the Singularity that cooperates with him?
Putting those little pieces together one by one, he sees and puts together the fragmentary fragments of the future.
“Because you’ve always been that way.”
His preparation is perfect, but not perfect.
Minimum preparation always brings maximum results.
He is a person who values efficiency, so he does not always prepare beyond his means.
That’s why the Witchbeast called them ‘preparing gods’, but the humans on Earth called him this way.
It’s called ‘Strategy Master’.
“Let’s go. We have to finish quickly and go see the professor.”
“Hey~ You know the professor seems to like you a lot, right?”
When Encia said that with her dark eyes, Estelle smiled and looked at her.
“Yes. I like it.”
“···uh?”
“I like you more than anyone else in the world.”
Ensia’s face turned red at the pure confession without even the slightest shame.
“Then I’ll go see you soon.”
Estelle’s holy power surged like an explosion, and she flew up into the sky first.
Ensia, who had been neglecting her, hurriedly followed her.
“Go, go together~!”
Encia spread her wings and soared into the sky.
And then, on the battlefield, the monsters raise their bodies.
Beasts large and small raised their heads to the sky, and between them, two gigantic dragons moved their huge bodies.
“···please.”
─Of course.
─You can leave it to me.
Karina and Legera.
The power of two top-notch demons surrounds the demons.
Magi comparable to the Constellation eventually led them to the battlefield.
*
A new corps commander arrives on the battlefield.
The human form and the magic beasts that sprinkle red blood will surely plunge humans into an unprecedented panic.
To cleverly hold and shake the enemy’s psychology.
The emperor’s strategy must have been absolutely perfect.
“You’re here. Emperor.”
dark sky.
The great power of the Emperor had finally reached Helios.
In front of the mighty Magi that covered the whole sky, the intersection of small dimensions was like a flashlight that would disappear at any moment.
“I can’t go any further than this.”
And, there was one existence that stopped him.
“Laniakea.”
The Empress of the Stars, who reigns over all constellations.
In the lofty outer dimension, she became a brilliant starlight and guarded Helios.
“Is it okay for a being like you to wait for me here without doing anything?”
“·······.”
“I can’t see the other constellations either.”
The power of the constellation felt in Helios was Laniakea alone.
I couldn’t feel the power of other constellations, and it was the same on the front line.
“Have the Constellations finally abandoned you…or do you have a plan?”
“·······.”
“It doesn’t matter what it is. There is only one outcome.”
The sense of intimidation that comes from overwhelming power and resourcefulness.
In a place where any Constellation would be intimidated, Raniakea proudly confronted him.
No, on the contrary, he was even smiling.
“…what’s funny?”
“The way you firmly believe that your plan will work.”
Raniakea pointed to the emperor.
“My apostle told me that you are definitely a great strategist and, above all, a perfect being.”
“Then-“
“but.”
she said, interrupting the emperor.
“Perfect, but not perfect. That’s what you said.”
She laughed and flapped her wings.
“Looking at it now, that seems to be the case.”
Laniakea released a halo of light to illuminate the scene of the battlefield.
The vast area of Great Sloane.
The aspect of the battle there was a bit strange.
Obviously, by now all the allied forces should have retreated behind the general and the front lines should have been pushed back.
For some reason, the battle was in full swing on the frontlines.
“… A demonic beast?”
Yes.
There was a witch there.
A mixed army of dragons, snakes, spiders, and ghosts was fighting against the emperor’s army.
The sight of them fighting each other biting each other was definitely not a scene in the Emperor’s plan.
Finally, he saw two stars shining in the sky and two dragons following them.
Giant dragons gliding through the sky and spewing huge flames, and stars slashing the head of command objects with brilliant light.
“What did you do?”
Seeing them, humans stand up.
The allied forces take up arms and head to the battlefield again.
start joining them.
Constellations, demons, humans.
An impossible alliance that had never existed in history and was predicted to never exist in the future was being created there.
“·······.”
“You are definitely a great being, Emperor. If you look only at your abilities alone, you will definitely surpass Eugene-sama.”
Laniakea spread her wings.
Her holy power slowly began to dispel the darkness around her.
“But he has something you don’t have.”
“What is it?”
“people.”
she responded promptly.
“Beings who sincerely follow that person, can entrust their shoulders and have their backs.”
“·······.”
“Eugene-sama has such people.”
Person.
Destiny.
Things the emperor abandoned earlier.
And, Eugene is the only one ahead of him.
“You can’t beat my apostle.”
“…That’s funny. Do you think you can overturn the overwhelming difference in power just because you put those clumsy things together?”
This world is not fiction.
he posited a theory.
But at the most crucial moment, the world becomes fiction.

Just like every dramatic moment that has ever been.
And, the time when a human named Yujin Kang was alive.

Just as they overcame an equally overwhelming power difference and ended the war gearlessly.
“So, I guess I have to do my part now.”
the light is alone
The light that brightly illuminates the world consumed the emperor’s darkness.
“Come, Emperor. I’ll deal with you.”
The lofty skies of Helios.
The supreme star and the darkness collided.
