    Episode 150 – Idol –

    That main gun can truly be called the pinnacle of human scientific power in this world.

    Without magic or aurors. Purely by technology alone.

    Technology that works without even a mystery.

    Excluding nuclear weapons, nothing on Earth will be able to exceed the firepower of that technology.

    That’s some kind of plasma weapon.

    It is the worst and worst weapon of destruction that melts everything with enormous heat reaching hundreds of millions in terms of temperature alone.

    Even if it’s a swordsman, if it hits you, you’ll die.

    If that’s right.

    “Alive… ?”

    The surrounding area was swept away and various substances were melted.

    The stone melted and became lava.

    The tree could not burn and disappeared completely.

    Various rocks melt and mix together to form one substance.

    Lava begins to flow from a place other than a volcano, but soon hardens and returns to its original state.

    And the place I was in was fine.

    I stood still there without a single strand of clothing on.

    “This is ridiculous… !”

    “Why is this ridiculous?”

    “There is no way there is a being that can withstand that! Even the Dome of Creation was partially damaged by this attack!

    It’s a shame that it will be restored soon, but if something goes wrong… I don’t even want to remember.”

    “Huh. I can’t believe it because I’ve never seen it. That’s really stupid.

    Right now, that main gun is shooting that energy just fine. Is there a way for a human to not be able to withstand being hit by that energy?”

    “Well, that’s… !”

    I wouldn’t know if I were the only counterexample right now.

    There were more counterexamples from their perspective as well.

    What if plasma melts everything?

    That main gun that shoots plasma would also have to melt.

    The staff handling the invention’s weapons went into a brief strategy meeting.

    Because both sides would make me more infamous anyway.

    I quietly listened to the meeting with my hearing strengthened through auror enhancement.

    “It’s ridiculous. There is no way a human could withstand that.”

    “But you proved it! It is true that this gun also withstood that force, and that knight also withstood it. It doesn’t matter if it’s possible or not. He did it, it’s a fact!”

    Of course, I didn’t endure it after being hit.

    However, rather than using tricks to succeed, enduring after being hit creates more fear.

    The destructive power of that technology is enormous, though.

    On the contrary, there is a huge disadvantage.

    It was the heat transfer method.

    Heat transfer methods include conduction, convection, and radiation.

    If all three methods can be blocked, heat cannot be transmitted.

    Plasma is strictly energy.

    And no matter how fast that force is, the pure physical force is ridiculously low.

    in other words. The approaching plasma can be defeated without touching it through aura eruption.

    Additionally, heated air can also be expelled through aura eruption.

    As a result, plasma is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection.

    Heat can be transferred to me only in the form of light, that is, radiant heat.

    And that level of heat is for me who can use Auror enhancement. It was so easy to bear.

    “Correct is the most realistic. Dodge the attack in that short period of time and then come back? You must be a high-ranking wizard who can even use teleportation!”

    “If you have the ability to regenerate, you must have divine power equivalent to that of a saint of Seonghwangcheong!”

    “There is no way to figure out this technique even if you use other tricks! How can you conduct an experiment if you will die if it fails!”

    The man, who was assumed to be the commander based on what others said, spoke briefly to himself.

    “Goodbye… Is it right to endure it? !”

    People are confused though.

    If there is a result in this world, there must be a proper cause.

    You can tell just by looking at that technology right now.

    How can that weapon withstand the heat that even the Sword Saint can’t withstand?

    This is possible because the plasma was floated through a magnetic field.

    The thing that was surrounded by electricity in the shape of a spring earlier was the shape of a magnetic field.

    So it would be possible.

    Of course, those people fell into this loophole because they didn’t even think about understanding the principle.

    “I don’t know anything else… We have to worry about that being fighting the Red Prints. No matter how important the taboo is… Nothing is more important than a company dying!”

    “But everyone will ignore it! I couldn’t even keep the taboo, so who would believe me!”

    “On the other hand, you can say he died! How many people remember that man’s face?

    Although her face looks like a gisaeng brother, I only saw her for a few tens of seconds, and since she has typical black hair, no one would suspect anything!”

    Stories are exchanged that don’t know whether it’s praise or insult.

    First of all, I heard from a man that I look like a gisaeng brother, so let’s think of it as a compliment.

    It wasn’t long before a story of its own was exchanged.

    They contacted higher-ups.

    This was because they could not handle it on their own.

    “… This is the current situation. What should I do? no no. It is not possible to calculate the possibility of handling it with certainty with the current power.

    In the worst case, there is a possibility that this weapon will be destroyed or our side will be defeated. That’s why I contacted you.”

    The superiors probably thought it was a prank or something they had mistaken.

    In a way, it was natural.

    Knowledge is passed down through generations.

    Experiences become blurrier as the generations pass, unless you experience them.

    It’s already been hundreds of years since there were proper knights or wizards in the kingdom.

    There was no way that anyone could remember the sword saint or demon emperor that some people had seen at the time.

    “As of now… It is assumed that human technology has surpassed that of Changje… !”

    Absence of experience leads to lack of insight.

    The Sword Saint and Demon Emperor existed even before Yeon-guk became Lee Ji-gyeong.

    Humans haven’t caught up.

    We just didn’t meet each other.

    Even if you hike from the other side, if you ultimately head to the top, there is only one place you will reach.

    However, until you reach the top, you cannot even know where your opponent is or whether they are climbing.

    Yeon-guk pioneered a hiking trail that no one had climbed for hundreds of years.

    It was a great achievement and deserves praise because it opened a new path for humans to reach the top.

    However, that is not the only way to reach the top.

    “It surpassed invention… Isn’t that too arrogant? There are so many monsters in this world who would treat Yeon-guk’s creation as something like that.”

    “!!! Before you know it!!!”

    “Aurors, sorcery, black magic, alchemy, white magic, necromancy. Countless technologies exist in this world. Their starting points are all different, but their endings are the same.”

    Can’t win.

    I saw someone crushing a person’s head with their own hands.

    When I stepped on it, I saw the body split apart.

    I saw the world go by as I did, as if there were no resistance.

    Change yourself and impact the world.

    The commander, who had seen the fruits of training an Auror’s most basic qualities to the limit, already knew that there was no chance of victory.

    “The saint of the sword, the sword saint divided the continent and was the king of magic. Maje lifted up a country.

    The guardian of the World Tree gave birth to ‘real life’ through magic, incomparable to that of a homunculus. Heukju brought the dead back to life.”

    “Creation is also not far behind. He made bread out of the wind and turned rolling stones into gold.

    If He hadn’t entered the dome… Human history would have changed… !”

    But he put his fear on his knees and refuted me.

    A country with problems in every way.

    Yeon-guk is the only country called Yeon-guk because it is not a monarchy, a republic, or any other system.

    Yeon-guk is the only one who can be said to be outstanding. Creation.

    Insulting that Jang Che was like losing Yeon Guoin’s only advantage.

    “The founder… It is this country’s only hope! There would be no harm if I died or was ignored… The Creator is not someone who should be treated like that!”

    Yeonguk people have little patriotism.

    This is because there is no one to feel patriotic about.

    How can one have patriotism when there is no one worthy of being the leader of the nation?

    However, in general, it is just an illusion because the head of the country and the country are the same.

    The leadership of a country is not that country.

    A country is made up of the government and the people.

    The people are truly the country.

    A country without its people cannot exist.

    But a country without a government can exist.

    Because it exists like this on this earth right now.

    “Is it patriotism?”

    “Because it’s my hometown.”

    “Patrioticism for the country. People from the same country will laugh at me.”

    “It doesn’t really matter. Even though this land is not enough, this land is my hometown, my foundation, and my grave. Seeing the talking pongsae… He was a foreigner.”

    “Does that make any difference? Since I am a foreigner, information may be limited. On the other hand, you can be objective because you are a completely unrelated person.

    It is true that creation has achieved great heights, but there is nothing that can be called an achievement. In the end, compared to the sword saint who defeated the dragon, the first pope who sealed the vampire progenitor, and the magic emperor who created the great magic of transmission.”

    The creator of Yeon-guk is truly a great person.

    But that’s it.

    When mentioning great people in the world, the founder is never mentioned.

    Because it is not important to have a high level, but because the achievements are important.

    If everything were decided based on mere state, the people in the imperial prison would be nobler than the healing saint.

    Of course, alchemy drove out the dwarves and made humans the dominant species on earth once more.

    But dwarves are also humans.

    Alchemy was not created by the Creator.

    That is not an achievement of invention.

    But the man did not give up.

    I don’t know if it’s because of his loyalty to the company or his own life.

    He decided to argue with a being that could kill him at any time.

    A man who armed himself with a strong will opened his mouth.

    “When I was young. I thought I could change everything like you. Even though it was Yeon-guk, I thought he would at least have a great position in this world.

    But I just became a part of the company and was used like a consumable. You may not empathize with someone who has this much power.”

    Men said they couldn’t sympathize with me.

    I could relate.

    Because I was like that too before I was reincarnated on this earth.

    “So I could tell. How amazing the creation is. How great it is to change this world.”

    When people are young, they think they can change the world.

    However, as he grows up, he realizes that the main character of this world does not exist and that he was just born.

    The commander was also a similar human being.

    A person who is only in a slightly higher position but can be replaced at any time.

    To him, the creator who changed the world with his own power must have been an idol in some ways.

    Because he is even his ancestor.

    When Yeon-guk was not yet Yeon-guk, the descendants of the people at that time are the current Yeon-guk people.

    “You have to have achievements to be great? Wrong. Who decided the achievements? How was it decided? From the dragon’s point of view, Sword Saint is just an enemy, and from the vampire’s point of view, the first Pope is just a devil.

    Maje actually called for the consolidation of status, and there were various stories. But the founder had no achievements?”

    He said excitedly.

    “This land could not exist if the Creator had given up on it. I don’t know why it happened like this. However, it would not have been normal because a being with the power to change the world had to make a sacrifice.

    It may not be any feat to you, but it is a great achievement to me! My family, my hometown, my friends, my descendants. Because everything exists thanks to Him!”

    Words contain one’s own experiences.

    And words can also be a medium to convey one’s thoughts to others.

    The man’s experiences and thoughts were conveyed to me through his words.

    To others, he was nothing, but to the commander, Changje was a great man.

    A being who made it possible for someone who may not have existed in this world to exist.

    A person born in this land where there is only destruction without creation.

    For him, creation was an idol.

    “Please, have that feeling. I hope you keep it.”

    “What… ? not… Are you going to kill me… ?”

    “Me? why? What did you do wrong? The reason I killed that group of flames was because they were plundering and I was asked to deal with them.

    In your case, there is no reason to stop you because you did your job.”

    Although I don’t feel any compunction about killing people.

    However, it is not a being that goes out of its way to kill people.

    There is no reason not to kill?

    Conversely, there is no reason to kill.

    The man was dumbfounded

    But soon I breathed a sigh of relief.

    I just burned my life.

    This may be because the fear of death did not exist.

    “Stop moving… ! I have something official to say to you who broke the taboo!!!”

    A brief standoff ensued, and at some point additional support came from headquarters.

    His tone was rough due to his pride, but it was clear to see.

    Those people are here to communicate with me.

    “You said that creation is an idol to you, right? Then be sure to live and watch. How this land will change.”

    It’s a promise that may fail.

    I told him because I thought it would be better than saying nothing.

    “What is that… ?”

    “You said it. I have the power to change the world.”

    As we head out towards the employees dispatched from headquarters.

    Finally, I preached to him.

    [Just as Changje changed this country, I will also change this country. It’s just a promise, but take a look.

    There is nothing to lose by trusting.]

    The healing saint will change this land.

    I will help her.

    So this land changes.

    I gathered my courage and slowly walked towards the Red Print employees.
