Ch.326Side Story. Cold War (2) + Afterword

#1.

(“Ah, ah. Can you hear me? I am the recorder of this audio file, ■■■■ ■■■’s ■■, ■■■ ■■■■.”)

(“The purpose of leaving this audio recording is to preserve an archive about the entities currently invading this dimension, and each audio file will contain records related to one specific entity.”)

(“And in audio record file number 1, the core content related to the dimensional invasion will be addressed.”)

(“I will begin now.”)

(“After the so-called ‘Declaration of Punishment,’ the sky was torn apart, and a red space was revealed through that gap.”)

(“These spaces were sequentially created in countries where participants of sentient being experiments, referred to as ‘Sinners,’ existed. I will now list these countries.”)

(“United States of America. Soviet Socialist Republics. United Kingdom. France. West Germany. Italy. Spain. Portugal. Algeria. Morocco. Egypt. Israel. Iran. Iraq. Saudi Arabia. Republic of South Africa. Turkey. Tunisia. India. Pakistan. People’s Republic of China. Republic of China. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Japan. Brazil. Nigeria. Australia. Singapore. Bangladesh. Yugoslavia.”)

(“The countries listed above all had ‘Sinners’ within their borders, and the entities that emerged from the red spaces in the skies above these nations remained active until all ‘Sinners’ in each country perished.”)

(“Additionally, when these entities were damaged beyond a certain threshold rendering them incapable of action, they ceased activity and disintegrated into particle-like light before vanishing. Any target that attacked these entities was immediately designated as a target themselves.”)

(“This concludes the situation as of the time of this audio recording.”)

#2

(“Beginning record storage.”)

(“The subject of this record is ■■■■■, code name ‘Red Soldier’.”)

(“Physical characteristics.”)

(“The body is covered in red plate armor reminiscent of knight’s armor. Analysis of the gaps in this armor reveals that a red fluid that moves fluidly is attached to what appears to be a human wearer inside.”)

(“While their body types vary between individuals, their average height is estimated to be around 8 feet (240cm), and we failed to measure their weight.”)

(“Physical abilities.”)

(“Based on rough measurements, they are estimated to possess physical abilities approximately 410% greater than those of an ordinary human. The following examples helped derive this measurement result.”)

(“They can crush a human skull wearing a steel helmet using grip strength alone, and can operate without sleep or rest for over 80 hours without impairment.”)

(“They can observe and evade incoming anti-tank missiles, and their reflexes and dynamic visual acuity are estimated to be at least 10 times that of an average person.”)

(“Considering they can identify enemies with the naked eye from approximately 500m away and eliminate them with standard firearms, their eyesight can also be considered exceptionally superior.”)

(“Of course, in all these cases, physical enhancement from what appears to be power armor has been applied, but even so, their physical abilities far exceed the human realm.”)

(“Equipment worn or used.”)

(“The armor they wear boasts almost complete protection against personal firearms and shows the ability to withstand heavy weapons without difficulty.”)

(“They demonstrate the ability to withstand hits unless directly struck by anti-tank missiles, and it is presumed that physical enhancement occurs due to the armor.”)

(“‘Red Soldiers’ are typically armed with spears approximately 2.5 meters in length and shields about 2m × 80cm in size.”)

(“The spear can emit a red beam from its blade section, with destructive power sufficient to penetrate light armored vehicles.”)

(“Given that they do not perform separate actions such as reloading, it appears that some form of automatic charging is implemented through mysterious phenomena.”)

(“The shield shows no signs of special mysterious phenomena, but on its own demonstrates durability beyond imagination.”)

(“There are documented cases of ‘Red Soldiers’ blocking fire from an M68 105mm rifled gun mounted on an M60 tank with their shields. Related video information will be attached.”)

(“Additionally, some unique individuals equip close-combat weapons in the form of cold weapons other than spears or what appear to be heavy weapons. I will also list these heavy weapons.”)

(“Some carry hand-held cannons, and the firepower of the red energy shells they fire is sufficient to penetrate the frontal armor of an M60 tank.”)

(“This multi-barreled autocannon is a personal weapon resembling an M61 Vulcan cannon in appearance, but instead of bullets, it fires approximately 1,500-2,000 energy beams per minute.”)

(“This is a flamethrower and the suit required to operate it. They operate flamethrowers that emit mysterious phenomena resembling black flames instead of regular flames with a range of about 50 meters.”)

(“Behavioral patterns.”)

(“They operate like soldiers in units of at least 3 to a maximum of 12 individuals per group, and when necessary, they employ various tactics to adapt flexibly to battlefield environments.”)

(“Their combat techniques utilize their incredibly powerful superhuman physiques, but are highly specialized in efficiently slaughtering enemies.”)

(“I assert that if facing regular infantry, one would need to deploy forces at least at the company level.”)

(“Comprehensive assessment.”)

(“Their battlefield impact is closer to that of walking armored weapons or small tanks rather than infantry.”)

(“Therefore, I recommend avoiding direct confrontation as much as possible and annihilating enemy troops using various high-firepower weapons.”)

#3.

(“Beginning record storage.”)

(“The subject of this record is ■■■■■, code name ‘Black Berserker’.”)

(“Physical characteristics.”)

(“They have an appearance as if the armor of the code name ‘Red Soldier’ mentioned in ‘#2’ has been painted entirely black.”)

(“Other physical characteristics are mostly identical.”)

(“Physical abilities.”)

(“Similarly, they are presumed to be nearly equivalent to the code name ‘Red Soldier’ mentioned in ‘#2’.”)

(“Equipment worn or used.”)

(“They wear the same equipment as the code name ‘Red Soldier’ mentioned in ‘#2’, but with different coloration.”)

(“Additionally, all of them are armed with equipment specialized for close-quarters combat such as axes, swords, small round shields, etc. Some also use miniaturized versions of the heavy weapons mentioned in #2.”)

(“Behavioral patterns.”)

(“True to their code name ‘Berserker,’ they are maddened warriors who focus on killing enemies at close range, disregarding any damage they themselves sustain.”)

(“For this reason, they have the highest kill count by our soldiers, but if approached carelessly, an entire allied regiment can be annihilated.”)

(“Comprehensive assessment.”)

(“Compared to ‘#2’, their threat level is lower, but their ability to create variables is significantly superior.”)

#4.

(“Beginning record storage.”)

(“The subject of this record is ■■■■■, code name ‘Angel’.”)

(“Physical characteristics.”)

(“Their armor closely resembles that of the code name ‘Red Soldier’ mentioned in ‘#2’, but rather than being bulky, it reveals their figure and is characterized by its sleekness.”)

(“From the wing joints on their back extend snow-white avian wings with a wingspan of 2-3 meters, and behind their head, a mysterious phenomenon occurs where a red light similar to a halo emanates as if there were a light source.”)

(“Physical abilities.”)

(“They can easily throw a tank weighing approximately 50 tons with one hand, and even throwing stones by hand can easily penetrate moderate armor plating.”)

(“Using the wings on their back, they can easily fly despite their physically impossible size, and since their gliding speed is approximately 100 km/h, this flight ability is also considered a type of mysterious phenomenon.”)

(“Additionally, they sustain no significant physical damage even when falling from heights of about 1 km, and given that their wings remain intact even when hit by shells, their durability clearly transcends physical limitations.”)

(“Equipment worn or used.”)

(“They typically wear armor similar to ‘#2’ and ‘#3’ but considerably lighter, along with cold weapons.”)

(“Additionally, individuals can control their unique supernatural powers and utilize them for combat purposes. With at least 30 confirmed patterns, related materials are attached separately.”)

(“Behavioral patterns.”)

(“Utilizing their supernatural abilities and physical capabilities, they primarily perform both ground and air operations with low-altitude flight, resembling living fighter jets or attack helicopters.”)

(“Comprehensive assessment.”)

(“There is essentially no way to counter them with modern weapons. Countermeasures with modern technology are impossible.”)

(“They can be killed using tactical nuclear weapons, but there is no merit in doing so.”)

#5

(“Beginning record storage.”)

(“Exactly 3,217 hours after the first incident occurred, the warriors who had appeared from the red holes disappeared.”)

(“And the entire world forgot about this event as if it had been a dream.”)

(“Nevertheless, we at ■■■ determined that related records should be preserved, so I leave this audio recording, squeezing out my last strength before death.”)
