32. Walk

12 hours after the deployment of Bojinia and Maid Drones.

 

The number of Bojinias in mainland China exceeded 600 million, and the number of maids was close to 8 million.

The total target was 790 million, so approximately 77% was completed.

 

 

The remaining 23% either fled to other cities, were caught up in the chaos and died, or suffered in various other unpleasant ways.

 

Therefore, it was practically safe to say that the mission was accomplished around this point. The punishment of China was certainly done.

 

 

 

 

 

Due to this incident, the Communist Party, which nominally maintained the state of the ‘People’s Republic of China’, collapsed, and large and medium-sized warlords such as the Shanghai warlords and Hong Kong warlords also collapsed.

 

 

This was a natural result, as all the members who maintained the warlords were either reborn as Bojinias or became maids.

 

 

 

 

For reference, to explain how a mere thousand maids created 8 million maids in just 12 hours with their Maid Drones, the massively increased Bojinias spread their seed and simultaneously gathered maid candidates based on scan data, pushing them into one space.

Then, when the maid goes there and deploys the drones, thousands or tens of thousands of people are maid-ified in an instant.

 

 

It is impossible to escape because they are guarded by dozens of times more Bojinias.

 

 

Moreover, using the characteristic of Bojinia, ‘evolution through homosexual reproduction’, Bojinias specialized in occupying China began to be born. For example, there were Bojinias with wings that flew in the sky and searched for targets with eyes better than a hawk, or Bojinias that evolved to have radar inside their bodies like bats, allowing them to accurately identify what is where without seeing. Anyway, bizarre species were born one after another, and the speed accelerated further.

 

 

Later, even Bojinias who could use telepathy appeared, making everything happen in a flash.

 

 

 

As a result, all women who were once judged as ‘eligible’ were captured and maid-ified.

 

 

 

 

Thus, a total of 600.8 million people were suddenly incorporated into the Harem Palace, but of course, it was nearly impossible for the current Harem Palace to handle this number. Seo Hyun, having predicted this in advance, planned to establish a puppet state called ‘Bojinia Country’ through the Bojinias in mainland China.

 

 

Naturally, it is a country solely for Yu-Eun, and everything in Bojinia Country, even a single blade of grass, belongs entirely to Yu-Eun. Even private property is restricted to some extent. The plan is to raise taxes so high that China will feel like heaven.

 

 

However, Seo Hyun judged that it was okay. After all, the members are Bojinias. Bojinias already have loyalty to Yu-Eun engraved at the genetic level, so they obey even if they are subjected to absurd exploitation and even regard it as a pleasure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Bojinias, having received Seo Hyun’s will, immediately began to move.

They began to expand their territory by occupying nearby cities and regions, and in the process, additional Bojinias and maids were secured.

 

 

When another 12 hours had passed, that is, when a full day had passed since the operation began, the number of Bojinias in mainland China was 720 million, and the number of maids was 10 million. Immediately, Seo Hyun received approval documents from Yu-Eun and declared the founding of ‘Bojinia Country’.

The world was turned upside down.

These days, I felt like this expression was becoming commonplace because it was being turned upside down so often,

But this time, the scale was definitely different.

 

 

It was really, literally, the whole world that was turned upside down.

It is no exaggeration to say that the world economy has stopped entirely.

 

All the various disasters that have happened so far, such as the collapse of Manhattan (C-class defense), the Tokyo backflow, the nuclear power plant explosion, and the Incheon incident, all combined could not compare to the impact that swept the Earth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, the number of deaths is in the hundreds of millions.

Unless the ‘Bojinia’ creature itself reproduces among themselves, it parasitizes the host (for about tens of seconds), growing by eating away at the flesh and brain, inevitably causing one death. The number of these Bojinias was 720 million in China alone.

 

In other words, 720 million people died.

 

 

 

 

Approximately 20 million deaths in World War I,

Approximately 70 to 80 million deaths in World War II.

 

 

 

Even if these two wars are combined, the number of deaths is one-seventh, so you can imagine how absurd the incident is.

 

Stalin’s Great Purge in the Soviet Union resulted in 20 million victims, and Mao Zedong’s massacre resulted in 40 million victims.

This Harem Palace massacre easily hits 20 times that.

 

The worst massacre in history that all mankind should point fingers at and condemn.

But ironically, there were not many people or media outlets criticizing the Palace.

 

The absurd combat power to kill 720 million people in just one day and simultaneously gain an equivalent number of troops.

 

 

They were mesmerized by the awe, along with fear.

 

 

 

If an evil person has a little power, people despise him.

If he has great power, people gather their strength to punish him.

If he has enormous power, a similarly enormous crowd confronts the evil.

 

 

But,

 

 

When it becomes an 『Irresistible Evil』, people call him ‘God’.

 

 

 

People around the world then began to realize little by little.

 

 

The Harem Palace cleared the Tokyo Defense War (B-class dungeon), which the whole world was nervous about, too easily, and as soon as it appeared in Incheon, it beat down and captured (?) Barkana, who caused 400,000 casualties, and the human called his wife destroyed the nuclear power plant by blocking missiles with just a rock that can be found anywhere. The ‘Bojinia’ creature created by the Harem Palace eats nutrients from the human body like an Alien and multiplies exponentially if there are only people around.

Moreover, it is born with all the memories and knowledge that the host had, so it is skilled at handling various devices, and if the host was a scholar with a doctorate, that learning and technology also becomes Bojinia’s.

 

 

With the conventional power that mankind possesses, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Palace, and even nuclear weapons, one of mankind’s ultimate weapons, are so common in the Palace that they are mass-produced and given to Korea.

 

 

 

 

And above all… the absurd cruelty of killing hundreds of millions of people without a second thought.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These facts, which had not been accepted due to some kind of aversion, began to sink into people’s brains little by little.

 

 

 

The Harem Palace, located in a small city (?) in Korea, and the human being named Yu-Eun, who is its owner, are not beings that mankind can currently confront.

 

 

 

 

We cannot confront the Harem Palace…

We must not confront them…

We could become Bojinias too…

If we’re not careful, we’ll end up like China…

The country might collapse…

My family might die…

My parents…

My girlfriend…

My boyfriend…

My wife…

My husband…

 

..

..

.

 

 

 

We must stop all hostile acts immediately…!

 

 

 

Slowly, people began to demand.

They pressured their governments to stop hostile acts against the Palace.

 

 

Of course, some human rights groups and people with a strong sense of justice still raised their voices, arguing for stronger sanctions, even war, but those voices became increasingly fewer.

 

 

Because their own family and community’s lives were more important than the shattered economy and the countless Chinese lives that had died.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“This is really….”

“It’s a bit much.”

“It’s more than a bit.”

 

 

Yuna and Sora sighed at this absurd situation.

 

I was uneasy from the moment I appointed Im Seo-hyun as 『Chief of Staff』, but he caused such a huge accident in just a week.

 

The worst disaster in human history, with an estimated death toll of nearly 800 million.

And it’s still ongoing.

 

 

I’m seriously wondering if this is causing more damage than the dungeons.

 

Of course, if you dig deeper, the damage caused by the dungeons will exceed billions, so the dungeon situation is still a landslide victory(?), but it was definitely a disaster comparable to that.

 

 

However, it is limited to China, and the difference is that a single group can control it as much as they want.

 

 

 

 

 

“Well. I don’t think it’s that bad.”

 

While Yuna and Sora were worried, Sonya, still wearing a thin smile, appeared.

She was walking with her trademark black sunglasses on her head, looking completely unfazed.

 

 

“Wouldn’t you say it’s rather generous? They could have covered the entire Earth, but they limited it to China.”

“Mom….”

 

She, who didn’t seem like a woman’s mother at all, but rather looked younger than Yuna, pulled out a chair and sat down.

 

“When a new power emerges, a new order is created. The sacrifice is naturally blood.”

 

She doesn’t even bat an eye even though hundreds of millions of humans have died.

 

She was originally a cold person, but she wasn’t this insensitive to human death. Yuna realized anew that her mother had changed a lot.

 

 

“And the number of Chinese people needs to be reduced a bit.”
