Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 66
Only Noblemtl
Episode 66
At Youngsoo’s words, not only Gapseok but also the elf Swaus was surprised.
Swaus asked.
“The gods are weapons… …? What kind of… blasphemous idea is that?”
Youngsoo looked at Swaus as if he was dumbfounded and said.
“No, the person who said he would kill a god to get revenge on the Great Temple guys, why is he saying that now?”
“that…….”
“The priest hasn’t drained his water yet, this person.”
Anyway, here’s how it happened.
“Due to the phenomenon of mass overlapping, the gods from the elven world are coming to Earth one by one. You all know this, right?”
Everyone, including Swauss, shook their heads.
“…I don’t know?”
“I knew that worlds would overlap through the Great Overlap, but I didn’t know that the elven gods would come over.”
“No, there is a case.”
“What case?”
“Naked Quadrun.”
“Ah… …! That was a god too?!”
“In this way, the gods are coming to our world one by one. And Eldrunia is planning to awaken those gods and use them as weapons to burn our world to the ground.”
“So that’s what it means to use the gods as weapons.”
At that moment, Ga-ryeong, who had been quiet until then, opened her mouth.
“But there is something I don’t understand.”
“what?”
“Aren’t those elves really devout worshippers of God? They ‘use’ God to wage wars of aggression? I don’t quite understand.”
“Why is that? We humans have done that a lot too.”
“what……?”
“Look at the countless pseudo-religions. They are people who do business by selling the name of God. In the end, they are no different from using God.”
“That’s different. Pseudo-religious people don’t use God himself. Pseudo-religious people usually assume God is a transcendent being, and use the authority that comes from placing him in an unapproachable position. They don’t think about using the God they serve like the elves do.”
“I’ll answer that part.”
Swauss looked at Garyeong and began to speak.
“I serve because I can use it.”
“What does that mean… … ?”
“Of course, the 13 gods that our elves serve are ridiculously strong. To be honest, I still don’t understand why author Cheon Yeong-su caught Nashin.”
It can’t be helped.
I rolled around for 50 years, so I was barely able to catch it in one go.
Thinking about that, Yeongsu nodded quietly.
Swauss continued.
“Anyway, the elven gods, unlike your gods, are tangible. Therefore, interference and contact are possible, and even killing is possible. That is why the Great Crusade elevated the gods to objects of worship. So that no one dares even think of approaching the gods.”
“… So the elves do not truly revere and worship the gods, is that right?”
“No, that’s true too. There are many people in Eldrunia who would truly sacrifice their lives for the gods.”
“I don’t quite understand that either… … ?”
“Why not? Even false beliefs, when engraved over dozens or hundreds of years, become true.”
Only then did Ga-ryeong nod as if she understood.
After Swaus finished speaking, Youngsoo started speaking again.
“According to my calculations, it would take one month for all the Eldrunian gods to come to Earth. So I expected the elven invasion to start a month later. However, one variable seems to have brought their invasion forward.”
“What variable is it?”
“I caught the quadruped too early.”
“ah……!”
“They got anxious because one of the 13 gods suddenly died. If the gods died one by one like this, the invasion would be greatly hindered. That’s why they started the war by deploying a high-ranking priest called the Archbishop along with the doping method called the Golden Ring Corps.”
Everyone nodded at Youngsoo’s explanation.
“That’s all for the situation explanation. Now we’ll assign roles.”
Youngsoo brought a whiteboard and wrote four words on it.
“The defense team will stay in the wild market and guard the main base. The development team will also stay in the wild and make the materials and equipment I have instructed. The reconnaissance team will find the detection stakes as I mentioned earlier. Now, let’s talk about the personnel assigned to each team and the detailed operation… … .”
“No, just a moment.”
Gap-seok raised his hand and intervened.
“Why do you just skip over the kidnapping explanation?”
“I skipped over it because there was no need for an explanation. Anyway, the only people assigned to the kidnapping squad are me and Swallow.”
Swaus nodded quietly from the side.
“No, but… what are you planning to kidnap?”
“archbishop.”
“yes?”
“We kidnap and secure an archbishop-level elf by any means necessary. That is the kidnapping squad’s mission.”
* * *
Swish-
About ten elves were sitting on the rooftop railing, wiping the blood off their swords.
Those who cleaned the sword were elves, but the blood on the sword was not elven.
The blood was human.
This is Jamsil, Sincheon-dong.
At the feet of the elves cleaning their swords, dozens of dead people lay.
These were all people killed by these elves.
“This is easy even without the Golden Ring.”
“Well, since they had no combat skills whatsoever, it was only natural that it would be easy.”
Hearing those words, the elf sighed and put his sword back into its sheath.
“Bath, please. Why are you saying something like that when the operation was carried out so well?”
“Isn’t it fun to kill people who don’t even resist?”
“Are you now rebelling against His Holiness the Pope’s command?”
“Don’t go too far. If you were really going to rebel, would I be swinging my sword here?”
As he said that, Bass walked aimlessly towards the corner of the rooftop.
The scenery of downtown Jamsil came into his sight.
It was a strange sight to the elf’s eyes.
Buildings that stretch straight toward the sky without any consideration for natural harmony.
A ground covered with something hard so that not a single blade of grass can grow.
And even the giant trees of Eldrunia that grew despite the harsh soil.
“…The forest is your territory, so defend it diligently.”
Bath was confused as to where in the Bible this passage was found.
That’s understandable, since there are more than twenty similar sentences.
“This place has become a forest, and therefore is our territory, so it is right to clear out the foolish hordes that occupy it and raise the banner of Eldrunia.”
Yeah, that’s right. But…
‘Do we really have to kill them all like this?’
Of course, elves have lived like this for thousands of years, and they know that this way of doing things is not against their doctrine.
But still, what is this feeling of uneasiness?
Sigh.
dump.
Fish.
From behind, a familiar sound pierced Bas’s long ears.
It was the sound of a blade piercing flesh.
The sound was extremely quiet and sharp at the same time, revealing how skilled the sword wielder was.
The bass was tense like the tip of a sword.
Then he pulled out his sword and swung it backwards.
Shhh!
Youngsoo dodged the sword swung by Bas so easily.
And then he kicked Bass’ stomach as he moved forward slightly.
“Ugh!”
Bass rolled on the floor in excruciating abdominal pain.
And I saw.
Elves scattered all over the rooftop.
It was the bodies of my comrades.
It meant that he didn’t notice until all his colleagues were assassinated behind his back.
“shit……!”
Bass looked up at the one who had kicked him, Youngsoo.
Yeongsu was holding a bloody dagger.
A dagger stained with the blood of Bath’s comrades.
Youngsoo said.
“What are you?”
“… … .”
“You don’t want to answer? Then don’t. Swaus!”
Swaus came to Youngsoo.
Youngsoo asked Swaus.
“Do you know who this is?”
“Bath. You were at the bottom of the combat priesthood, but you seem to have risen quite a bit.”
“You’re not an archbishop?”
“With this skill, you could be at the level of an archbishop.”
Bas’s eyes wavered as he saw Swaus.
“A conspiratorial murderer… …!”
Bath’s mind became dizzy.
His squad was annihilated, and in front of him was a criminal who should be in prison.
Had to kill.
Or at least he should have reported it to his superiors.
Bath made a decision.
Tub.
He swallowed the golden ring he had been hiding in his bosom.
The sharp pain in my abdomen disappeared, and an indescribable power began to flow through my muscles and mana circuits.
I could have won now.
fault!
I bounced up like a dragon.
And he swung his sword.
With the intention of cutting down everything that comes into sight.
Stand up! Stand up!
It was cut off.
All the cement structures on the roof.
Gray polyhedrons with smooth cross-sections rolled across the rooftop.
But there were no pieces of Youngsoo and Swaus there.
Pakang!
Kaaaaang!!
Yeongsu quickly dived through the mesh of Bas’ swords and exchanged sword strikes.
The moment swords clashed, Bass had a gut feeling.
I am stronger.
however…….
‘Why am I being pushed?!’
Strength, physique, speed.
In all, Bass had an overwhelming advantage.
But he never gained an advantage over Youngsoo’s sword for even a moment.
The tip of the knife digs in at a precise moment, as if measured by a clock and ruler.
Even the most skilled swordsman inevitably has to reveal his weaknesses, and Youngsoo accurately exploited them.
The tide of victory was slowly tilting towards Yeongsu.
“Huh… … !”
There was no choice.
Even if it meant taking some risks, I had to press it with magic.
Phage crackle!
A yellow lightning began to flow from Bath’s blade.
‘Thunderbolt strike!’
Shhh!
A slash of lightning tore through the air in a huge arc.
Pachachachang!!
The blast tore through the exterior walls and shattered windows of a nearby high-rise building.
It was a terrifying power.
An attack that even Youngsoo and Swaus could not guarantee survival if it had touched them.
Of course, that is, if only it could reach that far.
Shukak.
Youngsoo’s blade was stuck into both of Bas’s forearms.
“Whoaaaa!”
“Swow!”
The moment when Youngsoo subdued Bas by piercing his arm.
Swauss put something black into Bas’s mouth.
It was the black mana that Swaus had extracted from within his body.
“Kreep, kkeu… … !”
Bass, who had swallowed the black mana, began to struggle.
A sudden feeling of weakness came over me.
This is because the black mana that had dug into Bas’s body began to eat away at the energy of the Golden Ring.
Yeongsu watched that guy quietly.
And after a while, Bass stopped struggling.
His body, with the effects of the Geumhwandan gone, was much weaker than before he took it.
As his body sagged, Youngsoo spoke to Swaus.
“See? It takes about 10 seconds for the Golden Ring to stop working after absorbing the black mana.”
“Remember that. Then I’ll finish it now.”
Youngsoo stepped back and Swaus approached.
Bass asked in a hoarse voice.
“…How could you betray an elf?”
“You guys are the ones who put me in prison first and now you have a lot to say.”
“… … .”
“Are you still a member of the combat priesthood?”
“Can’t you tell by looking?”
“So how’s that son of a bitch Carlton?”
“The vice-captain is well.”
“Vice-Chief… So, you ended up becoming Archbishop.”
Swauss winked at Youngsoo, and Youngsoo nodded.
The mission of these two is to kidnap an archbishop-level elf.
All that had to be done was to kidnap Carlton neatly.
Swaus asked.
“Where is Carlton?”
“I don’t know. Do you think each squad would be very close to each other’s positions when conducting an operation like this?”
“At least we’ll share a rough operational area. The areas shouldn’t overlap.”
“… … .”
“say.”
“Do we really have to fight?”
Yeongsu said with a dumbfounded expression at those words.
“What are you talking about after coming in first?”
“There are a few elves, including myself, who question the legitimacy of this war. Through dialogue and contact with them… … .”
“If it was a conflict that could be stopped so easily, it wouldn’t have been called a war.”
And now I couldn’t stop.
If a ceasefire or armistice is signed here, there will be no excuse to seize the Elf’s holy sword.
‘Holy Sword Kairus… … .’
Youngsoo had to get his hands on it at any cost.
It wasn’t just about beating the elves.
The elven invasion was only a prelude.
What comes next is the invasion of the Heavenly Demons, the attack of the Machine Legion, and the advent of the Demon King.
Because the first key to breaking through all this destruction was the Holy Sword.
The moment the Holy Sword is dropped, the destruction of humanity is certain.
therefore…….
“There is no negotiation.”
Youngsoo picked up the knife.
“And if you kill, you die.”
“sleep……!”
Sigh.
Youngsoo put a knife to Bas’s neck.
