Chapter 482 - Last System Error (8)

"I know it already."

"If a powerful explosion occurs inside the wormhole, the passage itself can collapse and block the path forever. GMs have been trained how to collapse the wormhole just in case of an outsider's surprise attack through the wormhole."

"Preparing for a surprise invasion?"

"Yes. Nobody knows what will come out of another world all of a sudden. But they believe that such a thing cannot happen."

After hearing that, Sungwoo went down to the basement of the facility, which was leading to the wormhole tunnel.

"Man, you're still very arrogant. So how can we make such a powerful explosion?" Sungwoo asked.

<The easiest way is to convert a nuclear fusion reactor into a hydrogen bomb. This facility's fusion reactor can easily be converted into a hydrogen bomb. But you need to know the controller's password. You didn't kill all the GMs, right?>

"I got the password."

Actually Sungwoo retrieved an ID card from Walter's belongings. If he needed something like a biometric password, he was ready to drag Walter there anytime.

<Oh, really?>

"Yes."

<Great. If you trigger the hydrogen bomb I mentioned earlier and throw it into the wormhole, it will create a powerful wave to destroy the wormhole. That's the easiest way.>

"Alright. Let me get ready right away."

Sungwoo's allies already occupied the entire facility and confirmed its usefulness. So they would move exactly as instructed the moment Sungwoo issued an order.

Sungwoo was now standing in the situation room overlooking the 'wormhole passage'. He could see a circular device emitting a blue light through the huge safety glass.

"Is that it?"

<Yes, that's right.>

It was really intimidating because a huge mechanical device larger than a dome-shaped soccer field was in operation.

Woooooooooong-

It was spinning slowly, making a bizarre sound, which was none other than a passage leading to an open wormhole in the deep sea.

"I want to ask you one thing."

<Sure, just shoot.>

"What do you want from me when you are helping me like this?"

<I or we just…> The helper could not respond quickly. <I want peace. I am against such a terrible game.>"

At that moment Sungwoo thought that there would still be people on Zero Earth who still maintained humanity. They could have reached out to Sungwoo's allies just like those working as human rights advocates in the world without hoping for anything in return. However, it was not the attitude of the helper that was important to the victims of the game.

'Justice…'

More precisely, it was precisely bringing them to justice through violence.

And Sungwoo wanted it, too.

"Even if what you said was true, we would not view you favorably because you have left indelible scars on us."

<I know. We are going to do our best to heal the scars.>

"How?"

<On the occasion of this incident, we're going to move the public opinion to abolish this kind of game once and for all. And we'll make them agree and carry it out.>

Sungwoo replied, sneering at her, "Does this have anything to do with your politics?"

<I beg your pardon?>

It didn't seem that what Walter had said was a lie. This helper was trying to use this incident to achieve her political purpose.

"You can't heal our scars by doing so."

<Then what do you want us to do?>

"If you stabbed somebody and his blood got splattered on your face, do you think you can get away with your crime by washing away the blood?"

<I don't understand what you are…>

"That's what you are talking to me about. You are only trying to console yourself in a terrible way. When you invaded another world for the first time, your society took it for granted through some sort of justification, right?"

<Well…>

"Then again, you are saying that you are going to forget about your crime by justifying your actions in the name of reflection and effort. Why do you think that is helpful to us?"

<...>

"In other words, you are trying to cover it up, so you don't want to feel guilty and uncomfortable, right?"

<...>

"You couldn't heal our scars from the beginning. Nonetheless, you should have said something about how to compensate us."

Just because technology advances doesn't mean people become more mature.

And that's the same for the distant future.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeng-

The fire door on the right inside the safety glass opened and a cart came in on the rail. Above it was a hydrogen bomb made from a fusion device, which was taken out of a generator. There were three in total.

<What is that? You don't need three. One is enough to destroy it. Why don't you put the other two bombs back because they are dangerous?>

"I know. You already told me about it."

"Then what are you going to do with them all?"

The helper felt something strange.

<Let me stress it again. One bomb is enough to destroy the wormhole. You never know what will happen after it explodes. The whole ground around this area may be blown away, or, at worst, a miniature sun may appear here. Earth's ecosystems will collapse.>

"Really? I don't know much about that."

<You must have another plan, right?>

"I have a message for you guys."

"Us?"

"You are no different. You guys are slayers as well as invaders."

<Why do you think so?>

"This is not just somebody's fault, but that of the whole people in your world."

<What kind of message are you trying to convey? Don't do that. Instead, I will convey your message to our world in the most rational and peaceful way!>

But Sungwoo shook his head, then said, "No, you guys have to realize it personally."

Then, he put down the crowbar.

Thump-

"You have to know that when you play with dangerous toys, serious accidents can happen."

At that moment, a message appeared before his eyes.

- The system is under emergency recovery. (99%)

<Huh? The system has been restored faster than expected. Gosh, this can't happen so quickly! We don't have time. Destroy the main core and move as fast as you can!>

"Good for you."

<Pardon?>

- The system has been restored.

"Actually, we have restored it."

Sungwoo and his allies did not know much about computer functions. However, by intimidating Walter, they gained control of the local space for a while.

In other words, they have restored the system of this island alone.

"Everyone, step back!"

Shouting at them, Sungwoo used one skill.

- Caution! The Fellblade has begun in the area!

Black smoke burst out.

Rattle! Rattle!

And a white shadow came out of it. The safety glass was broken and the wall collapsed.

Whoooo-

The giant monster 'Bone Dragon' that broke out of the control room spread his wings. Sungwoo was aboard him.

<You are crazy!>

"Right, I'm crazy. You don't know me. In the hellish world you've created, anyone who doesn't go crazy is a real madman."

Sungwoo then moved the Bone Dragon.

Thump- Thump-

His massive body stepped into the area near the vertical tunnel, while at the same time stretching out his front paws to grab three fission-powered 'hydrogen bombs'.

"I will tell you guys how dangerous the toys you used to play with are."

The Bone Dragon jumped into the vertical tunnel toward the wormhole

Following him were thousands of undead army.

They launched a massive counterattack.
