Damn Necromancer

Chapter 407: Mothership (3)

[This is a galaxy emergency special talk! The Titan-class flagship Gigantes, which the 4 great megacorps were constructing by fully mobilizing resources to counter a cosmic disaster like the dimensional predator beast in the past. That long-cherished project of humanity has finally been completed in a perfect form through the hands of the great Death Lord!]

The anchor's agitated voice rang out from the super-massive hologram billboards adorning the mega cities across the entire galaxy.

Originally, Gigantes was the last bastion of humanity prepared to prevent the destruction of the universe.

Although its meaning had largely faded due to the Death Lord descending and slicing that disaster away in just 10 minutes, regardless, the news that the flagship concentrated with the best technological prowess of the galaxy was reborn as the private plane of the great ruler was enough to make the entire universe boil.

The subsequent broadcast screen. Dr. Higgs appeared, his eyes sunken as if he had stayed up several nights, yet flashing a maddened glint in his eyes more than ever.

[Doctor! I heard that in the process of completing the flagship, the Death Lord showed a miracle that surpassed existing physical laws!]

"A miracle? Even the word miracle is insufficient!"

Dr. Higgs shouted with bulging veins as if he would devour the camera.

"Everyone! Do you remember the dimensional predator beast Apocalypse that crumpled tens of thousands of Megacorp Alliance fleet ships like sheets of paper in the past? The Death Lord butchered that disaster in just 10 minutes, and constructed that great battleship Mary with its blood and flesh!"

The unconventional passionate speech of the best intellect in the galaxy spread through the airwaves.

"Overwhelming military power that tears the universe and the authority of creation! You can no longer postpone your belief just because it is invisible to the eyes. For our humanity to break through its limits and advance one dimension further, the only truth will be the path of believing in the Death Lord and accepting his great power!"

Meanwhile, when Higgs was pouring out such a passionate speech.

"Good fuel efficiency, sturdy defense. The ride comfort is killer."

Kim Minwoo tapped the hologram navigation device tuk-tuk.

Having finished the lucrative field work called space advancement, it was now time to slowly return to Earth, where the headquarters was located.

The problem was the distance.

Normally he would have comfortably taken a dimensional gate via the Heavenly City, but this Galaxy sector was the frontier among frontiers, distantly far away even from the Heavenly City.

The physical distance that even movement from the Heavenly City could not reach was the problem.

"Mary."

"Yes, great Master. How may I help you?"

"Let's input the navigation. How long will it take if we drive directly from here to Earth?"

Mary's eye glints flashed narrowly and brought up the results of a complex calculation.

"Assuming the Master generously injects divine power, it is possible to enter the airspace above Earth within a week."

"……Huh? A week?"

Kim Minwoo twitched his eyebrows.

"The Ares leader said before that even with Galaxy's state-of-the-art spaceship, it would take over half a year to reach the dimensional system near Earth."

"Yes, that is the case with a typical mechanical engine. However, this battleship directly converts the Master's pure divine power into power. It is a possible speed because the purity of the energy is on a different level from existing fuels."

Mary modestly answered while lightly grabbing her skirt. Indeed, it was an efficiency fitting for a Mythical-rank summon.

"Oho. Was my divine power that high-performance? Good. Then let's take what would take half a year and go in a week."

Kim Minwoo smoothly scanned the endlessly spread galaxy beyond the massive hologram window.

The astronomical dividends offered by the 4 great megacorps, the blind faith offered by people across the entire galaxy, and even the 150-kilometer Mythical-rank private plane made by grinding in all that capital and technological prowess.

'I've sucked out all the sweet juice I can extract from this neighborhood without leaving a single drop, down to their souls.'

For a local business trip, the profit and loss perfectly matched up, no, it was a business where he extracted everything and then some.

Now that he had firmly filled his belly, it was time to return to his home base.

"Good. I've eaten all there is to eat here, so I should slowly return to the home base."

Kim Minwoo smiled and flicked his finger.

"Mary, step on the full accelerator. We're departing for Earth."

"Command received. Injecting divine power into the dimensional jump engine. Full speed ahead to the destination, Earth."

Wiiiiing―!

The entire massive mothership reaching 150 kilometers in total length fluctuated while spewing blue eye glints.

[Dimensional Jump System activated!]

Kuaaaaaang―!!

The vacuum space of the galaxy tore apart like a sheet of paper.

The overwhelming decisive battle weapon fused with massive bones and pitch-black super-alloy finished its sweet collection at the business trip location and threw its heavy body into the vortex of subspace.

Earth.

Even amidst the threat of the Shadow Cult, the common citizens were desperately living through the day as always.

Because the High Priest Fersen's Ark hid in the dimensional gaps and elusively committed guerrilla terrorism, the whole world was trembling with anxiety, but the exhaustion of earning a living to survive right now often dulled even the fear of the apocalypse.

"Whew, Deputy Kim. That disgusting ship the cult bastards supposedly ride around in, it's strangely quiet lately, isn't it?"

"That's what I'm saying. Still, since we don't know when and where it'll pop out and cause a mess, we can't live because of the anxiety. What on earth are the Hunter Association bastards doing just wasting taxes…… uh?"

Deputy Kim's steps, who had been walking holding a takeout coffee, stopped with a ttuk.

The department head, who absentmindedly looked up at the sky following his gaze, also dropped the cigarette he was holding in his mouth to the floor with a tuk.

"……Huh?"

It was broad daylight. It was clearly a clear noon without a single cloud. However, the blinding light spewed by the sun was instantly changing into chilly darkness.

Something high up in the sky had completely blocked the sun.

Uuuuung―!

A bizarre vibrating sound that seemed to tear the eardrums, no, crush the soul itself began to cover the skies of the whole world.

"Wh-what is that……!"

"The size is on earth……!"

Millions of citizens standing in the middle of the city center screamed in unison and slumped down.

A massive shadow descending, piercing through the stratosphere.

Total length of 150 kilometers.

A lump of iron of overwhelming mass that looked as if a decent-sized small country had been torn off entirely and floated in the sky.

On its surface, the dark bones and flesh of the ferocious dimensional predator beast were bizarrely entangled, and tens of thousands of Megacorp main guns were spewing a blue murderous intent toward the ground.

Ppiiiiiik―!

[Emergency evacuation warning! Emergency evacuation warning! An unidentified super-massive flying object has entered the atmosphere!]

[The s-size cannot be measured!]

The broadcasting stations and Hunter Association situation rooms all over the world were completely overturned.

"I-is it an alien invasion?!"

"No, what on earth are those ignorantly huge bones! Is it a monster, or a machine?! If that kind of thing falls, the Earth will split in half!"

Even Fersen's Ark, which hid across dimensions and made the whole world tremble with anxiety, looked like a paper boat floating in a bathtub by neighborhood kids in front of that massive 150-kilometer continent.

The captain's seat at the very top of the mothership Mary.

"Master, currently hundreds of thousands of emergency communications are flooding in through Earth's radio wave network."

The skeleton AI Mary modestly grabbed her skirt and reported.

"They are all interception and attack warnings. How shall we handle it? Shall we block them all at once?"

"Leave it be. We brought a big car into someone else's front yard without warning, so of course they would be surprised."

Kim Minwoo nodded his chin.

"Just connect one line to the highest-ranking gentleman on the South Korea side."

"Command received. Connecting directly to the Level 1 hotline of the underground bunker at the Blue House of South Korea."

Jiiiiing―!

A hologram screen floated in the empty air of the captain's seat.

Inside it, the images of the President of South Korea and the Minister of National Defense, heavily tensed with pale faces, were reflected.

[H-hello! Respond, massive flying object side! We are the South Korean government! What is your purpose……!]

"Ah, Mr. President. It's me. Kim Minwoo."

Kim Minwoo casually offered a greeting while leaning deeply into his chair.

[……Yes?]

The President's mouth dropped wide open.

The ministers and Hunter Association executives filling the bunker also inhaled hollow breaths and froze.

[K-Kim Minwoo……? You mean, the South Korean Necromancer Hunter Kim Minwoo?]

"Yes. I went out on field work to space and just returned. I contacted you in advance in case you suddenly fired missiles or a salute."

Was that something to say after dragging in a disaster-class battleship that didn't look like it would get a single scratch even if all the nuclear weapons on Earth were poured onto it.

[E-excuse me Hunter Kim, then that…… planet-sized space battleship currently covering the sky is…… what Mr. Minwoo rode in on?! What on earth happened in space……!]

"Ah, this?"

Kim Minwoo tapped the inside of the massive battleship tuk-tuk with his finger and replied calmly.

"It's not a battleship. It's my new summon."

[……Yes? S-summon?]

The jaws of the President and the ministers dropped to the floor with a ttuk.

The absurd scale of pointing at Megacorp's 150-kilometer space flagship and calling it a summon.

"Anyway, it's not an enemy, so please let other countries know too."

Ttuk. The communication was cut off.

The faces of the President and the ministers became dumbfounded.

"……Was that really Hunter Kim Minwoo just now?"

At the trembling question of the Minister of National Defense, President Lee Kanghoon swallowed dry saliva.

"From his face to that uniquely flippant attitude, it is definitely him, but……."

"Could it be that an alien took over Guild Leader Kim's shell and is deceiving us?"

At those words, the Hunter Association President let out a dejected hollow laugh.

"Guild Leader Kim Minwoo is effectively Earth's strongest military power. If he was defeated by an unknown entity that dragged in such an out-of-standard battleship, the Earth is going to perish today anyway."

"……Hearing that, you're right."

Eventually, President Lee Kanghoon let out a deep sigh as if giving up on everything.

"Haa. Connect hotlines to the leaders around the world right now. Tell them it's not an alien invasion, but a South Korean Hunter's summon……. Damn it, to think I really have to relay this with my own mouth."
