The United States, secretly gathering stats to prepare for the Great Galactic Empire, was agonizing over two main options.
The first was to give all the gathered stats to one person, and the second was to distribute them among several people.
Both had their pros and cons, but anyone who knew even a little about stats usually supported the former. Due to the nature of the offense and defense system, it was nearly impossible to beat someone with higher offense and defense, no matter how many people gathered.
So, the former opinion was gradually gaining ground within the United States, but the recent zombie outbreak created a major dilemma.
The zombies, which had already grown to over a billion in number, and the mutant creatures born among them, had already reached the limit of what could be suppressed by pure military force alone, and even pouring in nukes was having little effect.
In the end, they had to deploy adventurers based on stats, but even this was not easy because the scale of the zombie horde was so enormous that ordinary stats were useless.
According to research, if they mobilized about 100 adventurers with offense and defense of 1 million or more to deal with mutants like giant zombies, and at the same time mobilized all modern weapons to wipe out the remaining zombies, they could suppress this situation.
Of course, giving it all to one person would also have some effect, but there wouldn’t be enough time.
Should they give all the stats to one person to increase the possibility of confronting the Galactic Empire even a little?
Or should they distribute the stats to overcome the immediate crisis and use them for the sake of humanity?
It was not an easy decision.
But the President finally made a decision.
Even if the United States could stand against the Galactic Empire, it would be meaningless if humanity itself did not exist.
And now that the Galactic Empire has stepped back, if the United States devotes its power to all of humanity, the countries that have escaped the crisis thanks to the United States will unite around the United States and rally to overthrow the Galactic Empire.
Each country has a population and a dungeon.
As everyone gains stats when they enter a dungeon, they can somehow scrape together stats if they use a slightly unreasonable method.
If all countries endure sacrifices for the United States and to overthrow the Galactic Empire, the 100 million or so stats they are consuming now may become nothing.
And extremely expressed anger makes humans endure sacrifices.

“THE AMERICA FORCE! In short, A-FORCE. This is your name.”
The candidates who had been pre-selected and were waiting.
The number was quite large, as they had been agonizing over whether to choose one person or many for a long time.
Among them, 101 people were selected to be finally granted stats.
“Each of you will be given 1 million stats. After that, you can assign stats appropriate to your profession in consultation with experts.”
Once they decided to receive stats, the lives of the 101 people belonged to the United States.
All activities must be carried out wearing clothing that can conceal their identity, and their names will disappear and they will be called by their respective pseudonyms.
“We will conduct a final test from now on. The person with the highest score will be additionally given 20 million stats and made the commander-in-chief of A-FORCE, Captain America.”
“…!”
It was a corny and childish naming, but the candidates nodded with flushed faces.
Even 1 million is a huge amount, but they will give an additional 20 million! They absolutely had to become Captain America!
“Then let’s start giving out stats.”
.
.
The members who had received the stats and a rough explanation headed to the armory under the command of the soldiers.
The one leading them at the front was Colonel Carlson, who had been explaining and giving out stats.
He still seemed to have a lot to say, as he kept opening his mouth.
“Your first mission is to eliminate the special zombies that are currently threatening the world, mainly in the Middle East. It will probably be a difficulty that cannot be compared to ordinary dungeons. Of course, you will need equipment and weapons commensurate with that.”
Keolkeong!
After walking for a while, a huge door they encountered opened to the left and right at the right time.
It was so big and huge that a hazy steam-like thing spewed out from the opened door gap.
Just as it was about to open completely, Colonel Carlson suddenly shouted in a loud voice.
“GIGANT!!”
“…??”
“The cutting-edge new weapon that our country is currently developing in top secret.”
Kugung.
He walked through the fully opened door, stomping his military boots and walking like a soldier himself.
He was a human full of pride in the United States of America.
“!!”
“Although it is a mass-produced type close to a prototype, with your stats and these weapons, zombies are nothing.”
“What!”
Beyond the door was a huge warehouse-like place.
If the Galactic Empire built national-scale facilities underground, the United States used its abundant land to create a large-scale armory.
An incredibly large facility.
To the left and right, huge robots were lined up, emitting steam.
Their height was at least 15 meters.
A large robot that they had only seen in movies was in front of their eyes.
Hwiik!
Colonel Carlson turned around towards the members with a cool motion.
“The average gravitational acceleration applied to the pilot when operating Gigant at its highest performance is about 24G. Operation itself is impossible unless you are a person with extraordinary stats like you.”
He began a full-fledged explanation for the members who were gaping their mouths.
As the explanation continued, excitement and anticipation arose on the members’ faces, and patriotism gradually increased.
“You are now the hope of the United States of America and the hope of humanity.”

“The United States has finally used stats.”
The eyes of the Federal Empire, spread all over the world.
Because Bojinia has no difference from humans in appearance, it was very difficult to distinguish them.
The only difference is that they are so beautiful that they feel out of place? But this is also a characteristic that appears in adventurers with high stats and extreme beauty, and it becomes meaningless if they cover their faces.
However, their physical abilities and intelligence are far superior to humans, so it is almost impossible to ferret them out by ordinary methods.
Therefore, the Federal Empire was actively dispatching Bojinias who were left over in their country to foreign countries to collect various information, and the area they were most concerned about was the United States.
“Really? In what way?”
Sonia took off her glasses and folded the newspaper.
She still looked like a young 18-year-old, but her innate dignity and sexiness did not go anywhere.
“As Your Majesty predicted, they divided it into a total of 101 people and gave 1 million each, and they will additionally give 20 million stats to one person through a future test.”
“Hmm. I didn’t predict it that specifically. Anyway, they didn’t give it all to one person, right?”
“That’s right.”
Sonia smiled softly.
As expected.
If they give more than 100 million stats to one person, it will be quite troublesome for the Galactic Empire.
No matter how much of an empire it is, giving stats exceeding 100 million to all Bojinias, all citizens, and all maids instantaneously consumes a considerable amount of time and cost. Therefore, if a human with such tremendous stats wanders around and rampages, they will inevitably suffer damage.
Of course, the empire, which can ultimately mass-produce stats indefinitely, will inevitably be the winner, but until then, they have to be somewhat nervous.
But if they divide it into 100 people and give 1 million each? There are strong people who can handle those kids all over every region and every village in the Bojinia Federal Empire, as well as in the Galactic Empire and even in the Fuji Mountain Autonomous Region. The value of paying attention disappears.
“Then we just have to look at the international situation. Maybe they made this decision thinking about that too.”
If the Galactic Empire refuses to intervene in the zombie situation, all of humanity’s hatred will be directed towards them. At that time, if the United States solves this and instigates by saying ‘In fact, the zombie virus was created and spread by the Galactic Empire!’, the hatred for the Galactic Empire, which already has a trash image, will deepen further, and the United States will form a huge coalition (anti-Galactic Empire) based on this and finally gain more benefits than the stats they consumed. That was the calculation.
Unfortunately, this was already calculated by Sonia.
If the image of the Galactic Empire, and furthermore, Yu-eun, was not as trash as it is now, they would have thought a little more deeply about the reason for this refusal to intervene, and in the process, they might have realized what Sonia was really aiming for.
But Yu-eun was nothing more than a perverted trash who didn’t know how to do anything other than sex and didn’t want to do anything else, and the Galactic Empire under his command was also a similar feeling.
Therefore, even if the Galactic Empire refuses to intervene in the zombie situation, only reactions such as ‘What big reason could there be?’ and ‘I knew it’ come out.
But that is a miscalculation!!
Although Yu-eun is almost exactly as they think, Yu-eun himself knows this, so he has entrusted politics to his wives and maids, including Sonia.
“When are they deploying?”
“I think it will take about 3 days. After all, it’s far away and a high-radiation area, so preparation is necessary. Of course, they won’t be able to delay any longer than that.”
“3 days….”
Now that the Great Wall has collapsed, suppressing the zombies is already at its limit, so delaying for more than 3 days is the same as giving up intervention. This is impossible for the United States, which has already used stats.
“Too bad. If they had been deployed now, we could have taken care of them together. Oh my! I didn’t know they were there. Sorry~ Hehe.”
It was a little disappointing, but it was a great achievement just to have the United States disperse its stats.
They have already used stats, and if the situation ends before they can intervene in the zombie situation using them, the United States will have dispersed its stats for no reason, and they will have to pay a huge fee to reunite them.
Even if the fees paid when collecting stats are excluded, a fee of 100,000 (10%) per person has already been incurred when paying the members.
But they will collect that again and give it to one person?
They have to pay 10% again when taking stats from them, and they have to pay another 10% when collecting them and giving them to one person.
Even if you calculate it roughly, they are throwing away about 180,000 stats per person only as fees, so the overall loss is close to 20 million.
And this loss (fee) is deposited directly into Yu-eun’s account.
“Activate 『Gargantua』. The target is the Middle East.”
“Yes. I will activate Gargantua.”
A base and city built on the moon while Yu-eun was away.
And a large Earth weapon built with it.
Since the moon always shows the same side to the Earth, if a huge planetary weapon is built on the side facing the Earth, it can strike all countries existing on Earth in a straight line.
Of course, this is subject to the condition that it must be timed according to the Earth’s rotation, but fortunately, the Middle East could be struck right now.
“What should we say externally? Everyone knows that we are not intervening.”
“Just say we hit it while testing a new weapon.”
“Yes, I understand.”
About 2 minutes later,
“Gargantua, activation has begun.”
Along with the maid’s report, countless screens appeared around the room where Sonia was.
Screens showing the Gargantua Earth weapon being controlled from the lunar base, and screens showing the appearance of Gargantua from the outside, etc. Dozens of screens appeared.
Among them, the largest screen showed the Gargantua main body.
If they were just looking at it, their hearts would swell at the sight of the enormous weapon, but if they knew that it was a weapon to strike the Earth, they would get goosebumps all over their bodies.
The diameter of the muzzle alone was a whopping 2 km. The length of the barrel reached 20 km, more than twice the height of Mount Everest.
Gugugugu.
Clearly, no sound came out through the screen, but the enormous scale made it feel like everything around was vibrating.
It looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie, but it’s reality.
“What level of output should we use?”
The on-site commander reported to Sonia’s question.
-1% will devastate a radius of 800km. Most of the zombies will evaporate along with the ground.
“Then let’s do 1.2% for sure. That should be enough, right?”
-Then the human area will also be damaged to some extent.
“That doesn’t matter. Do 1.2%.”
-Yes. Gargantua output 1.2%
-Output 1.2%!
Uuuuuung – !
Again, there was no sound, but that’s how it felt.
From the base to the barrel, red lights came on like stripes, as if electricity was flowing, and when the intensity reached its peak, the shell of the barrel, which had been stretched in a straight line, unfolded like petals.
The real barrel that was revealed had long holes drilled in places, and a hazy steam-like thing came out through the gaps and was scattered in one direction due to the artificially created wind.
The shell was also slightly visible, and at first glance it looked like a long iron rod, but it was actually a pure energy body. It is extremely condensed and only looks like an ‘object’.
-Output stable, engine stable, power stable, all green. Ready to fire. Everyone prepare for impact.
Sonia picked up the sunglasses on the desk and stood up.
“It’s time to properly let them know. Those ignorant and arrogant humans. The advent of God.”
She put on her sunglasses and looked towards the window.
“Vanish.”
Kugung!
The screen shook violently.
The land around the barrel was completely overturned, and a huge storm swept across the lunar surface.
