The Outer God Needs Warmth-Chapter 255: Will cruelty ultimately win? (5)
In the third world, Bel is tidying up the house and sleeping in the bed.
Meanwhile, in the fourth world, the body is performing the task of chanting the contract whenever pleasure signals come to the body in a tightly enclosed space.
The current task isn’t particularly dissatisfying, but there is one regret.
Now, Jeber no longer researches the harvesters.
Instead, he is focusing on how to deal with the enemy using the harvesters.
This is because the enemy has already attacked.
The fact that the Inspection Bureau sent so many people means that the royal family has already been contacted.
But when the task force disappears, surely the royal family will check what happened, right?
So the reason things were quiet for a few days after the annihilation is probably because they checked in that time. In other words, it means they confirmed that Jeber wiped out the Inspection Bureau.
Moreover, they are even increasing military supplies?
If they weren’t fools, they wouldn’t just leave this be.
This is rebellion, isn’t it?
They came to suppress Jeber, but they couldn’t push him back.
Not only was Jeber capable of producing high-quality soldiers quickly, but the world had never fought a full-scale war, even though it was an era where they properly used oil to run machines.
Yes.
The professional army is small.
No matter how many infantry you gather, they disappear with a single wave of a mage’s hand. So, the military developed by improving quality over quantity.
Some superhumans dominate the battlefield.
The system itself is somewhat similar to the medieval knight system in faded memories. If you replace horses and knights with mages, it aligns well.
The difference from medieval knights is that they are not simply highly equipped soldiers with weapons and horses.
In this world, powerful mages all belong to a family. Some families specialize in fire magic, others in water magic.
Each family has its own unique magic, and they continue from generation to generation based on that.
In that sense, the mages of the Inspection Bureau are a unique group. They are either bastards or illegitimate children, those pushed out of their families, those whose families disappeared, or those who became mages with mediocre talents.
They gathered these people to capture older-generation mages.
And they were actually effective.
They analyze their enemies thoroughly, prepare to strike at their weaknesses and neutralize their strengths, and then attack with numbers.
They are like modern combat experts.
As a result, most older-generation mages have no choice but to fall.
It’s not that there aren’t strong mages, but the ones who were ambushed and prepared thoroughly are different from those who relied solely on their own power and charged in recklessly.
Which one has a higher chance of winning is obvious, right?
So, when the royal family sent people claiming there was a rebellion and called mages from nearby territories, they were indifferent.
No, in the first place, they created a team to hunt mages like that, so why would they listen to the royal family?
So when they united and attacked in one go, Jeber, who had no chance to resist, ended up saving his life.
If you think about it, it’s karma.
Moreover, Jeber has a surefire strategy against royal mages.
Because psychic powers don’t use magic, they can’t detect the beginning at all. So, they paralyze their opponent and then kill them right away.
The strong mages are dealt with directly by Jeber, and for those brought along as soldiers, he sends out artificial humans to deal with them.
Of course, the royal family didn’t just sit idly by.
Whether they had documents from the Inspection Bureau or not, they did bring tools to neutralize the artificial humans created using Bardrol, the world’s first harvester.
But Jeber had already dealt with it.
He had crossed-bred the mages from the Inspection Bureau and created suitable artificial humans, mixing them in.
Someone in the middle noticed it and shouted something, but what’s important in a fight is victory.
If you lose, even the shouting disappears.
So, as time passed, the momentum gradually shifted toward Jeber’s side.
Normally, in a one-on-one fight, Jeber wouldn’t win against a mage, but with his psychic powers, he paralyzes them.
Mages who couldn’t die there became unfortunate.
They were captured and brought to the lab where their skulls were cracked and metal needles were driven into their brains.
Their memories were extracted, and their reproductive capabilities were used as a stepping stone to create new materials.
No, let me correct myself. Even dead mages became unfortunate.
If their brains were still alive and not long dead, a similar procedure could be applied.
How did I know?
It was the day Jeber became a harvester. When he told me to self-harm, someone who had died passed on warmth and part of their memories to me.
But one type of artificial human used that dead person to create them.
In fact, the first harvester, Bardrol, who was created in this world, had a similar situation. She had clearly been stabbed on the battlefield and died.
So I had forgotten, but Jeber extracted Yassle’s technique from her and acquired the method to summon gods and demons.
This was because he stabbed Bardrol’s heart and processed the corpse.
She had absorbed a significant amount of Yassle’s memories and became a powerful mage in this world as a harvester.
Referring to Jeber’s memories, at that time, Bardrol’s memories didn’t include Yassle’s original memories.
Only the memories that she understood based on those memories were in there. Looking at this, it seems that my own memories aren’t recorded in the brain.
Before I obtained the memories of Daegon and the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign in the second world, I had spread Yassle’s memories to the harvesters, right?
I thought that those memories would overwrite my own, but from what I saw, only what the harvester accepted was left in their memory.
Ah.
No. I kind of understand now.
It could have caused personality contamination, but there hasn’t been a single harvester like that until now.
I speculate it’s related to the light I carry, but I’m not sure.
Still, one thing I know for sure.
The more tragic the life of the person after they become a harvester, the more likely they are to accept the memories I spread.
If you just look at the third world, no one who became a harvester and was happy afterward shows any traces of having received Daegon or the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign’s memories.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Those who remained in the slums of Brightshine or isolated in Vern City, continuing their dark lives, unfolded their techniques.
Ah.
And there’s this too.
A harvester who, while delivering goods to distant places, was attacked and about to die, then gained the Heavenly Demon Arts. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
There’s an easy commonality.
Anyway.
Jeber’s faction grows stronger day by day.
The royal family lacks the military force to confront Jeber, and if things had gone as planned, the royal family’s former weapon, the old-generation mages, are all just observing.
Honestly, I think I’d do the same.
You create tools behind your back, stab them around, and then, when things get dangerous, ask for help.
Who would help?
Moreover, despite suppressing a rebellion, there’s no significant damage to the territories.
Yes.
Surprisingly, that’s true.
If the royal family had gone to war right away, it might have been different, but five days after, the city’s blockade was lifted.
No, now it’s neither a war nor a rebellion suppression.
To the citizens living in the city, the royal army is just like a group of strong bandits invading.
This bandit group has been protesting outside for a long time; it’s the same sentiment.
Moreover, the mages from the surrounding territories chose to stand by, and the logistics flowing into Jeber’s city are unaffected.
The royal family can’t even cut it off.
Because if they do, it will disrupt the logistics that pass through this city. This would not only affect this city but other °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° cities as well.
Already inconvenienced, and if they cause more losses?
The enemy will grow stronger.
So, in this awkward situation, the royal family couldn’t act and lost ground.
It’s not that the royal family is weak.
Originally, this city should have been suppressed, and Jeber’s head would have been cut off, or at least the city would have been partially destroyed.
But the psychic abilities Jeber obtained were just too powerful.
The first time they’re affected, it’s at least paralysis. At most, they’re ordered to take their own lives.
But if they’re affected, their intelligence drops immediately, so complex orders become impossible.
Even the same words, if the person receiving them judges them differently, different effects will occur, so the choice of words for orders is crucial.
The more times it’s applied to the same person, the more the effect dramatically weakens.
Looking at it just from the effects, it’s a psychic power that raises questions about how good it really is.
But what’s fatal is that it can give a particularly strong effect on someone you’ve never met before, and because it doesn’t use magic, all the methods you already know become completely useless.
In this world, there are also techniques that are as foreign as curses, but no matter how foreign, they all use magic.
So there’s a way to block them.
You just ignore it all.
For strong opponents, Jeber steps in and blocks them.
However, when leading the mediocre ones, a large number of artificial humans emerge and attack.
No matter how many times they are killed, they keep coming out, and no one is afraid of being killed.
If the royal family somehow comes up with a countermeasure to defeat the artificial humans out there, Jeber will just create new specimens in the lab and make new entities.
He acquired a considerable number of both male and female ones this time, didn’t he?
There are many ways to combine them.
Mages without humanity are powerful.
Perhaps, by the time Bel spends a day in the third world, it will be clear that the royal family will lose.
I think they’re managing this quite well as living beings.
In reality, even Jeber couldn’t increase the number of artificial humans so quickly.
Even if he rapidly cultivated them, it used to take more than two weeks for one to emerge.
If it was accelerated any further, it would result in tumors or failed specimens that had only bones and muscles.
And even if they were completed properly, their lifespan was less than a year.
But tada.
There’s a cheat key that wipes out all those problems.
It’s me.
So, he was pushing the enemy back while producing dozens of artificial humans a day.
This is the first time a mage has used my abilities so effectively.
I hope they continue to be filled with warmth in the future, and I work diligently like a machine.
