“How about here?”
Dielka pointed near the 1 Dimension Fortress.
“There are unowned dimensions, and the 1 Dimension Fortress can serve as an advance base.”
“But it’s close to the IANT colony. What if the IANT Queen gets provoked?”
“Then we’ll just eat it all! We’re confident.”
“That’s true, but it creates more things to worry about.”
“If you leave everything to me, I’ll digest both Duselduf and the IANT and turn them into nutrients.”
Choi Kangjoong felt that Dielka had a hidden intention.
She was trying to push something forward in secret from Iselin.
Since their consciousnesses were lightly connected, he could vaguely tell.
“It’s good being connected to Lord Outer, but this part is inconvenient.”
“What’s your goal?”
“Ragan said there’s a gift in the northwest. I don’t know what it is, but it must be something amazing.”
“I suppose so.”
“So I wanted to set up a network there and monopolize it. I’ve already found a few gates heading northwest. If the IANT colony disappears, it’ll save a lot of time!”
“Do you know what’s there?”
“It’s the place the Crystal mentioned! Whatever the gift is, it’ll be valuable!”
The audacity to trust in Ragan’s gift and connect a place not even on the Sea of Isellin map with the Enterprise Union.
If it works, it’s a jackpot; if not, it’s a bust—but the odds of success were extremely low.
It was a strong manifestation of the Dark Elf’s adventurous nature.
Choi Kangjoong gave up trying to understand.
Dielka’s eyes sparkled like gold.
“Whether human, elf, Metra, or Barents Beastmen—everyone will flock to go there. My Nachromel family will manage and guard that route! The profits will be enormous. I’ll invest more in the expedition fleet with the money…”
Dielka’s words went on endlessly, and she boasted that she would surpass the Derael family.
“Anyway, the IANT colony is a headache for the Union too. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. Let’s get rid of it while we’re at it! And make my Nachromel family as great as it was in the past!”
Dielka clenched both fists.
Choi Kangjoong cheered her on, telling her to do her best.
“Then you agree to use the gate here too, Lord Outer?”
Dielka interpreted his encouragement however she pleased.
“There’s nothing bad about it.”
“Alright! Should I send my knights to dig traps in the nearby dimension?”
“No need. I’ll send Walkers to dig tunnels.”
“Lord Outer, want to go into the tunnel-digging business? I’ll find you the work!”
“Is money all you think about?”
“Money is so important! With money, we can buy Dimension Ships, support the Dark Elves, and…”
Dielka’s words lengthened.
Choi Kangjoong cut her off and said he was going home.
Pretending not to hear Dielka telling him to stay longer, he quickly opened a gate and went home.
“Ugh, my ears hurt.”
Choi Kangjoong rubbed his ears and checked the nutrients gained from eating the Giant Dimension Kraken.
“That’s quite a lot. It’s like I ate an entire dimension.”
It was enough nutrients to produce 20 Super Titans.
“I should give half to Kuongi.”
Kuongi, who received the nutrients, grew vigorously.
“I need to grow the Apocalid to ten times its current size and quickly evolve Kuongi into Colony Class.”
Just imagining Kuongi as a Colony Class alongside ten Hive Class individuals was enjoyable.
“Let’s produce more Special Entities.”
With over 8 billion Evolution Points, he could make eight more.
But he planned to keep 5 billion for Species Evolution, so he would only produce three.
“I’ll produce one more Kai and a Stealth Predator. The last one will be a Swarm Lord.”
The Stealth Predator was a specialist in sabotage and assassination.
Not as much as Kai, but it had excellent stealth capabilities and was intelligent enough to paralyze an entire city on its own.
The Swarm Lord had weaker bombardment abilities but could transport more Apocalids and launch them from its surroundings.
Sending it together with a Dark Eater into the middle of an enemy fleet could cause massive chaos.
[Special Entity Production: 100:00:00]
Since the two Hive Classes and the Apocalid dimension were producing simultaneously, 100 hours was enough to produce three Special Entities.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Stealth Predator.”
Choi Kangjoong sent Walkers to dig tunnels in the dimension that would become the battlefield.
They could be used as traps or as hidden movement routes.
Four days later, three Special Entities were born simultaneously.
Dark Eye and the Stealth Predator were quiet.
With very stealthy movements, they entered the Light Titan that would go to Magrain, ruled by Duselduf.
As soon as the Swarm Lord was born, it stored small Apocalids inside its body.
It also shot Walkers from launchers on its sides, back, and belly.
“Now there are three Hive Classes. Let’s go with Reinforced Carapace for the Swarm Lord fleet trait.”
Reinforced Carapace was a trait that made Chitin Gauntlets harder.
• It suited the Swarm Lord that would stick close to enemies and fire small Apocalids wildly, or the Apocalids that would be launched into close combat.
“Thanks to Source Energy, defense is enhanced by 20~30%.”
In Dimension War, a 10% increase was the maximum.
Even so, since it applied to the entire fleet, efficiency was high, and with nearly 30% increase, a very tough fleet was born.
“I need to create new Titans and Super Titans for the Dark Eater and Swarm Lord to travel together.”
Choi Kangjoong entered the Evolution Chamber.
He summoned the body of Dark Eater, a Claw Devourer.
Overall it was similar to a Titan, but the Chitin Gauntlet was thicker.
There was one horn on its head, and on its lower jaw there were two large, thick tusks shaped like ivory.
“I’ll split this into two and give one to Dark Eater and one to Swarm Lord.”
For one, he reduced transport space and increased Mana Cannons.
Since it was an assault ship that would roam enemy lines, he added more Chitin Gauntlet armor.
[A new Titan Class has been created.]
[Would you like to name it?]
“Claw Titan.”
[Apocalid Claw Titan has been saved.]
For the other, he increased transport space and changed half the Mana Cannons to Apocalid launch ports.
He also thickened the Chitin Gauntlet.
[A new Titan Class has been created.]
[Would you like to name it?]
“Swarm Titan.”
[Apocalid Swarm Titan has been saved.]
Dark Eater and Swarm Lord melted the Titans in the Soil Pit to turn them into nutrients, then produced Claw Titans and Swarm Titans.
They did the same with Super Titans, completing an excellent assault force.
“Now I just need to send Kai and the Stealth Predator.”
Choi Kangjoong opened a gate and sent the second Kai and the Stealth Predator to Magrain.
Kai infiltrated Duselduf’s mansion, and the Stealth Predator roamed Magrain to decide strike targets.
Reconnaissance information from the Stealth Predator entered Choi Kangjoong’s mind.
Power plants, dimensional ports, war material warehouses—places that would be fatal if even one was hit.
The Stealth Predator planned to attack the ammunition depot first.
It was easy to approach and full of explosives, making it easy to destroy.
The Stealth Predator infiltrated the ammunition depot.
It was where 30% of all ammunition produced in Magrain was gathered.
Despite being a 3-meter-long creature, the guards didn’t notice even when it passed right by them.
It passed the barbed wire, climbed the wall, and entered through a ventilation duct.
It slid through the narrow passage and dropped to the floor with a soft thud.
The area was full of boxes containing shells.
The Stealth Predator used a skill called [Explosive Liquid Creation] .
An explosive liquid was created inside its body and it spat it out through its mouth.
A sticky purple mass came out.
The Stealth Predator spread it all over the ammunition depot.
“It knows how to do things well.”
The Stealth Predator made a small hole in the ammunition depot wall and connected the explosive liquid in a long line.
It also made a small hole in the adjacent depot and connected the liquid.
The intention was to cause a chain explosion.
Thus, the Stealth Predator connected all the ammunition depots there.
After spraying the last depot, it took a shell from a box and activated a timed fuse.
The Stealth Predator quickly escaped the depot.
30 seconds later, the timed fuse activated.
It was a very small explosion compared to the entire depot.
But that was just the beginning.
The surrounding ammunition exploded, and the explosive liquid spread by the Stealth Predator accelerated the chain explosion.
KABOOOOOOM!
The massive iron plate covering the depot to block explosion shock shot up 100 meters.
A huge mushroom cloud rose.
Originally, this explosion should have been the end.
Because even if one depot exploded, the next was designed to remain intact.
But thanks to the Stealth Predator’s trick, such design was meaningless.
KABOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOM!
Mushroom clouds rose in succession.
The shockwave blew away everything around.
The vibration could be felt even 10 km away.
All the guards were blown up, and the nearby ammunition supply unit was also destroyed.
The Stealth Predator, producing pleasure hormones from the successful sabotage, let out a low cry.
After enjoying the reward for a moment, it immediately moved to the next target.
This time, it was a shipyard.
Even now, in the unmanned Dimensional Sea, it was churning out giant Dimension Ships.
The scale was enormous, so producing enough explosive liquid to destroy it would take considerable time.
The Stealth Predator used Choi Kangjoong’s knowledge to save time.
“You want to use Allied Forces supplies?”
The Stealth Predator nodded.
Kuongi’s back and belly were still full of Allied Forces supplies.
Not only food and clothes, but also 10,000 tons of missiles and bombs produced in M2721.
“I’ll bring them.”
Choi Kangjoong opened a gate and moved the bombs.
This time, he used a Stealth Scout.
He also sent a Central Stealth Scout to assist the Stealth Predator.
They would go to power plants or ports in advance and investigate weak points.
The Stealth Predator installed bombs all over the shipyard.
It set the fuses to detonate at the same time.
It also sprayed explosive liquid everywhere.
It even filled an unused water tank with explosive liquid.
After finishing the bomb installation, the Stealth Predator left the shipyard.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions occurred in the shipyard.
Cranes, warehouses, and worker dormitories were destroyed simultaneously.
The newly produced Dimension Ships lined up were all destroyed by the explosion of Mana Missiles the Stealth Predator had stealthily installed.
KABOOOOOOM!
Soon, the water tank full of explosive liquid also exploded.
The Stealth Predator glanced at the magnificent explosion and leisurely swam through the Dimensional Sea.
Then it arrived at a dimensional port and repeated the same thing.
Next was a power plant, then a food warehouse, then a factory.
While moving, it also assassinated key figures.
The heads of generals commanding the legions fell one after another.
With sabotage and assassinations leaving no trace, Magrain fell into extreme chaos.
