Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

During the Roman Empire's heyday, the Earth's population was 55 million people. Alphazeta was a planet with a slightly larger population than that.

Humanity has found hope to overcome disease and hunger as it passes the modern age. In this world, magic has the power to overcome disease and hunger.

But the magic is in the hands of the steeple, and the steeple is in the hands of those above them.

Midnight.

The one who takes away the dawn.

He was a spiritual being who controlled the population of Alphazeta by ministering to the martyrs. No, at least they considered themselves divine.

“That sounds ridiculous. ”

The captain folds the report he was reading and lowers it.

He's been in Metropolis for a long time.

Until just now, the land was shaking with ammonia because of the spill of ion cannonballs, and the cold winds from the north cleared the air.

For a normal war, the land stained with blood would have been red and the blood flowing into the river would have been bitter.

But it was a war between the ion cannon and the dragon.

[Correct, Captain. It's a ridiculous story.]

“I never imagined AI contamination would have this effect. Taking care of people like livestock and raising them. So it would be easy to slaughter those who would sever us in this way and escape the chains. ”

The captain looks out the window, which is clearly visible from inside Metropolis.

The devastating destruction that would have left no trace if it had been swept away as a spirit of light.

The human traces are swept away, and only the magnificent natural waters are left little by little to show that there were plains and forests here.

There are sharp, steep hills that are easy to reach in the small mountains. It was thanks to the firing of the merciless Colossus 1.

A lot of people are walking around with Big Bear, breaking the high ground and tearing it down.

A metal deformation occurred because the ion canon and the ground were destroyed by high heat. Additional income from battlefields can sometimes come from outside the grasp.

“The facility is crowded. ”

The captain boards a transport train that moves inside Metropolis. A train dedicated to the captain shows you inside the city as it runs over the electromagnetic field.

Many students in the school district wanted to abandon the human body and cyborg most of the body during the war.

The enemy's saturation will kill him instantly, but the machine body probably won't survive.

However, the parents seemed to strongly disagree. Some parents even chased him to the front of the North Ferrato facility and caught him and wept.

“If the Enhancer Black Code could be interpreted, I wouldn't need to be cyborg.... ”

The captain's body was a reinforced human, and the reinforced human genetic code was the best secret, the Black Code, engraved on Magnakarta in the Pacific by the Human Efficiency Council.

If I could interpret this code, I would be able to mass-produce a body as strong as the captain without having to cyborg it, but even the Federation's strongest super warship, Tyrant, did not have access to it.

[Interpretation is in progress. It's multiple protection, and, as you know, only one captain is available, so we're working as slowly and safely as possible.]

The captain nods.

Eventually, many people wanted to mechanicalize their bodies as if they were natural after this war. There was a desire to be freed from that much pain, and there were many people.

The captain looks down at them and reads MidKnight-related technology through one of Metropolis' largest buildings, the Northferratu Facility, to Ixa, located in the underground 88 Sector, Strict Sector.

“It seems the priests who serve interest are given the power to cure the plague. He was responsible for all sorts of curses and funerals. ”

[Just like the perpetrator who committed the murder is performing the victim's funeral.]

The captain thought Tyrant's analogy was plausible. The captain has harvested numerous priests' brains and added them to the Ixa system.

“More useful information about the genocides they say are heretics than I thought. ”

[They may have doubts about God. Some of us doubt the identity of Midnight, and contradict Midnight with many theological logic.]

“And all the heretics, they were bound together in taboos. But there's also a lot of useful information. A magical quest for divine reality. ”

Colossus II, dispatched to the Holy Land, captured the priests. They threw nets at those who were preparing to jump onto the path of light and captured them all.

And he brain-resected most of them and connected them to Ike.

Though it didn't look good, they didn't change their minds by persuading them, and they couldn't spend a hundred years in prison with a weapon's conscience.

Just once!

With one single attack, more than 15% of the planet's population has been wiped out immediately. I had to make him pay for such madness.

[I will open the door to the oppression control room. Reach the Iksa Corridor. Secure depth of safety. No mental contamination. Ike's Information Management System is All Clear.]

The door opens, revealing a huge corridor.

There was a giant lake size facility hundreds of meters below a silver white corridor.

Inside the four tanks is a massive, untraceable tank.

This war has caused Iksa to expand tremendously. Each tank was about the size of a 15-story building.

There was a pile of transparent rectangular boxes that would put a brain back into a square bathtub hundreds of meters high.

Not only did one of them serve as a 'Security Advisory Council’, but it also served as the final gateway to contamination defense against Alien Mind.

[Captain, Iksa is combining more information about Midnight. ETA 35 seconds.]

The captain nods and looks around.

Many drones were flying around looking at the health of their brains. Once the brains that come in here can't live outside unless they die.

Drones the size of small worms were traveling between the brains, piercing the clogged bloodstreams in the brain with laser points, or identifying the condition of the hose as being properly supplied with nutrients.

The overall appearance of Grotesque makes the captain sigh briefly.

Even if the Human Efficiency Council allows it? It is a technology because of war, but it is also a burden on the corners of the heart every time I see it.

“No, now is not the time to get wet. Krasus?”

“You sent for me, Captain. ”

Crassus was drinking alone at the Central Administration Center.

“I've told you stories of Gobi who slept with your fairy before. ”

“Jarin Gobi?”

“You know what? If you eat a spoonful of rice and look at the fish once, the food goes well. I don't eat, so I'm at least imitating myself for taking such good liquor. ”

The captain once again felt that this dragon really wasn't human. It looked like the floating brains here were literally fish suspended by dragons.

“Enough nonsense, Crassus. You've read Iksa's report, haven't you? ”

“Yes! Midnight! God of death, sucks. I've always wondered why humans die of old age when there was no life limit for dragons. ”

[Correct, Captain. Dragon cells have no Hayflick limit. You can live semi-permanently because you don't have an endpoint for replication of an endpoint of an endcell. sort of like lobster.]

“I guess the dragon spirit didn't need to. So, is there anything you need to tell me? ”

“Actually, I was a little surprised that the Zenorim's personality had come down this time. Because this passageway to get in is literally one of the highest containment zones in the Pantheon. There must have been a big fight on the stairs to get Arden down that road. And that's especially true when you don't see the Rear Peacock happening. ”

“Perhaps there's a gap in power somewhere because you've worked too hard to send Arden to this world quickly? ”

“If you focus on one thing, you lose one or two things. I think that might be the context of Midnight. ”

Enemies needed an important ritual to enter this world. To be precise, there had to be a passageway to consciousness.

Arden enters through the passageway first.

At the same time, the lions of Midnight entered the world through a dark blue sphere.

I don't know if it's pre-deployed or summoned, but the captain bombarded all the dark, giant orbs that worked once with Tyrant in orbit.

And from then on, all Midnight support was cut off.

Perhaps Arden has been sent and Midnight has calculated to increase its harvest in the world. The silence that seemed unresponsive was reluctant.

‘Obviously, Gelnorim told me to head for the Midnight vein. Apparently he was aware that McMoon would be attacked immediately, given his hand to me. Maybe he painted a picture of me organizing on the inside and the Angel of Zenorim going to help McMoon. ’

The captain nods.

“We need to get into the portal. Tyrant, did you catch one of the monsters coming out of the gate? ”

[Yes, sir.]

“Perhaps this crystal will open a path. ”

The captain pulls out the ferridot crystal the drone is holding in its arms.

At that moment, Crassus' eyes curl up and he wakes up, placing down his drink.

“Peridot, Peridot Crystal Pieces! That's what they were looking for when we met! How did you get this in your hand, Captain? ”

He shakes his hand slightly.

“I took it out of the belly of the angel I killed this time. He seemed to be asking me to cooperate with the Gelnorim while giving this to him, but it's not my taste to be fooled by a complete stranger. ”

“No, of course not. There can be no more loot than this! This should do it. If any gate was meant to let the Angels of the Zeno-Rim in, this should get us there immediately. Oh. Finally, we can face the armies of the Manchurian Temple. Hey, Nymph! When will you keep your promise to strengthen me? At least I don't need the Constabulary and Magneta inside of me! ”

[Calm down, Crassus. This is where a lot of sensitive brains are stored. Po is currently preparing a separate Magneta. We're going to implant the space-time continuum and other equipment very soon.]

The captain nods.

“There's only one Colossus left, two Krasus, two Colossus. And let's move on to the portal as soon as the construction ships are ready. As soon as this planet is safe from the Great Crystal, launch ships into Neo Augsburg. ”

[Copy that, Captain.]
