“This is not something I would say to a Canadian or a person from the American Federation, but America boasts the largest land area on Earth.”

America is big.

“The longest from left to right is Russia, but the longest from top to bottom is America. From the North Pole to the South Pole.”

America itself is quite large, but the United States is truly so large that it is appropriate to call it a ‘continent.’

“Major base cities are no different now than before the cataclysm.”

Major cities in the United States grew along the coast, and as transportation and communication developed, cities gradually formed inland.

“It is no exaggeration to say that the populations of New York, LA, and Washington have all doubled compared to before the cataclysm.”

When we think of American cities, most of them are cities built in the eastern or western United States or along the coast.

“Because it is a good place to live, has good infrastructure, and is the most secure place. Above all, many people from abroad came to stay here.”

Humans live in places that are relatively comfortable to live in.

“People with special abilities are a little different. They can live anywhere. For example, the Rocky Mountains where we have just arrived.”

There is no problem even if you live on a mountain thousands of meters high.

“Even if you are floating in the middle of the Great Lakes or living on top of a volcano, you can live without dying and if you can live with satisfaction. Live like a caveman.”

Even if you live at the top of a mountain, you can come down by simply taking a walk from the top to the bottom.

“You may not know this, but people with special abilities are not restricted by the natural environment. As long as you have a body and mana, you can live anywhere.”

So, people with special abilities do not necessarily have to live in a city of humans.

“If you live in a city, it must be because of someone’s earnest wish for people with special abilities to be in the city.”

We call this type of person with extraordinary abilities a hero.

“The person with this ability wants a hero to live in the city and protect him.”

Just as New York has heroes who imitate their friendly neighbors, and Manhattan has a god who protects America, each hero protects his or her own city.

“Question. So what is the villain’s main residence?”

So where does the villain live?

“Number 1. They are gathered into one city with the most security vulnerabilities. And eliminate the heroes there or turn them into evil.”

Which city will they gather to create a crime city and corrupt the heroes?

“No. 2. To defeat a famous hero, go to the city where that hero is located.”

Or will he hide out in each city to fight heroes and cause trouble?

“This wasn’t some kind of gang fight between a bunch of high school students, and whether it was a hero or a villain, it wasn’t something that kids at that young age could easily think about. Even if their abilities were level A, they were all ‘teens’.”

One thing to consider is that no matter how old you are, whether you are a hero or a villain, as of 2025, even those born in December 2000 will be 25 years old.

“Even if I go back 10 years, I was around 15 years old. Will he act like a villain because he has a vision, or will he act like a hero with a sense of duty? He was just a person with special abilities who was most influenced by those around him.”

Convenience: Although he is 25 years old, he is 26 years old by realistic standards or in Korean age before the cataclysm.

How many villainous acts will such young children have committed by 2020, when America is unified and there is no longer anyone worthy of being called a villain?

-Well done, my son. That’s it.

I did a lot.

“The world used such children as ‘evil’.”

There were many criminal organizations that wanted to use growing children as weapons, and such stories were so prevalent in the United States that even mafia leaders grew up watching them when they were young.

-All superhero comics must be collected and incinerated immediately!

-A story written to give children dreams and hope is now being used as a textbook for villains! My comics are not made for those unpleasant people!

-Even if we go back to the era where the villain who wipes out half of all life in the universe gets caught by the police for stealing workbooks, censorship must be done!!

Even America was full of confusion.

“And the chaos was calmed by a certain ‘god’.”

Rule the world behind you.

Uniting villains from all over America.

Controlling all the villains in this world by himself.

Furthermore, we will reach an agreement with the political circles of the United States.

By subduing the villains of other countries and persuading the heroes, he made the U.S. President rise to become the representative and true president of the American Federation.

“God exists in America, and he is America’s superpower.”

That’s the reality here that has already changed before I even possessed it.

“Correction. He is America’s talented person.”

This is why I call it ‘America’ rather than the United States.

“‘Made a Great America’. Made, not Make. I already made it. The American Federation.”

The America of this world is not the America.

“A millennium utopia for mankind where drugs are eliminated, health insurance is expanded, gun accidents are drastically reduced, and even racial discrimination and social inequality are gradually reduced year by year.”

If I were to really refer to it, it would be more correct to call it ‘Great America.’

“If it were not for ‘Korea’, the world’s most powerful country, it could rightly be called the most civilized country on earth.”

If not for Korea, North and South America, from Canada to Chile, would have united as one and ‘America’ would have taken over the hegemony of the Earth.

“And behind it all, there is a fate.”

I drove the car and arrived at my destination.

“This is the headquarters of the organization. This is ‘Phoenix House’ in Colorado, the center of the Rocky Mountains.”

“…Why Phoenix?”

Ymir pointed to the surroundings with a face that seemed to genuinely not understand.

“It’s a wilderness with nothing in it. Oh, is it because it resembles a phoenix, like during gerrymandering?”

“No. Hero Phoenix provided this land. The name is ‘Phoenix City’.”

“…Phoenix?”

“Okay. For more details, I need to start by explaining the foundation of our association, ‘Company’…”

I lightly tapped the death watch toward the wilderness.

“That’s an old story that I haven’t experienced myself, so let’s move on.”

“Wasn’t it something important?”

“It’s an important story, but what’s important is that there is a hideout of death below here.”

“…Underground bunker?”

“Correct answer. To be exact, it’s like a large-scale shelter set up underground.”

It doesn’t make much sense to say that it is several floors underground or that it is a facility that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Scale?

If I were to describe it to people who often watch movies, it could be described as humanity’s last facility prepared in great secrecy by the U.S. Pentagon in preparation for the destruction of the Earth from an alien invasion.

form?

For those who often play mobile games, it can be described as a huge shelter built underground with a single tool on an uninhabited island, which is often seen in advertisements.

facility?

For those who frequently read novels, it can be said to be a ‘VVIP shelter that was built by the government in advance but has not been discovered by anyone’ as a way to give hope in the epilogue just before or after the end of the apocalypse.

what.

“This Phenix City can be said to be the crown jewel of a civilization that was at least a century ahead of its time, created by combining all of the technology and abilities of this era.”

In one word, it’s awesome.

“If the outside world is a world of superpower fantasy, then this Phoenix City can be said to be similar to a sci-fi underground future city.”

” I’m just speaking in a novelistic way because I’m afraid that someone might think I’m a noob. What kind of sci-fi? It’s just an underground city.”

“…….”

This is the part where I can be angry.

“Docheol. Don’t cross the line.”

“Why? Did the word Yellow bother you?”

“I’m not doing this because of Yellowy. Showing such sentiments about this underground city is itself a problem.”

I am Yellowy.

It is a Yellowy that eats everything without any consideration.

Being such a Rover, I know very well how amazing the underground city unfolding before my eyes is.

“Do you really need to say something like that to someone who is seeing this for the first time? To the guests who have come to the headquarters of the organization for the first time.”

“……That’s a bit like that. I apologize. Because this place is like ‘home’ to me.”

“No. are you okay. Because I haven’t seen it with my own eyes yet.”

Ymir clenched his fists and caught his breath.

“Then…let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

Tueueuung.

Something cylindrical popped out in front of us, and soon a door opened that could easily fit about three people.

“Is it an elevator?”

“That’s right. It is a very special elevator that only authorized people can enter.”

“If you don’t send it up from underground in the first place, it won’t come up. Ah, manager. Face.”

“Um….”

I didn’t think there was any particular need to wear it, but I wore the mask.

[Docheol. Don’t you know where we’ll go if we get on this?]

“Of course, the entrance to Phoenix City….”

[Wrong.]

As much as I was looking forward to this moment, ‘she’ must have been looking forward to it too.

To be exact, the moment I was flown to Canada by Ymir, the moment I contacted him and said, ‘I’m coming to America anyway, so I’ll stop by and see your face.’

He must have been waiting for us to arrive above Phenix City.

[It is a direct gate to the president’s office.]

“…No, wait a minute. They don’t even do this to our executives.”

[Because it’s me.]

“Wow, aren’t you being too partial? Or…is it because I want to see Ymir too?”

[at all.]

It’s just because he wants to see me.

Same goes for me.

[Taj.]

The moment I got on the elevator.

The door closed again and a light flashed.

“…Huh?”

[As expected, Ymir. I felt it right away.]

“Space, movement…?”

Sigh.

The door opened.

The outside of the cylinder was like a hall in a palace in a European kingdom, with a red carpet spread across the floor.

“Welcome.”

And at the end of the red carpet, a woman was sitting with her legs crossed on a throne shining brilliantly in gold.

“To my America.”

“First of all, let me say thank you, Miss Ymir. In the meantime, I enjoyed the food even from afar. Purifier of Platinum.”

“…How do you do that?”

“God is in America, and that’s me. Do you think there’s something God doesn’t know? Huhuhu.”

She smiled leisurely, crossing her fingers.

“Your patriotism is amazing.”

“…Yes?”

“Starting from the conclusion, let me explain in an easy-to-understand manner.”

The leader pointed at me once and then glanced at Cheon Ju-yeon and Ymir.

“All the patriotic acts that the goblin did, I experienced them all through indirect VR experience. As a goblin’s partner.”

“Uh, uhh….”

“Awesome, Mr. Ymir.”

Clap, clap, clap.

“This is my first experience in the outdoors, using magical power to create a transparent, soundproof barrier. It was the best first experience I had indirectly.”
