Reincarnator Chapter 375:
Reincarnator - Chapter 375: Inheritance War (5)
“Captain, what shall we do now?”
“Mmm . ”
R-Koronaita Nell looked below as he listened to the lieutenant commander’s words .
At the tremendous amount of energy that even they could feel in the space above Nelkipa .
That energy was flowing out from Nelkipa’s head .
From three separate locations .
‘ . . . It’s not something we can ignore . ’
R-Koronaita Nell fell into deep thought .
Originally, they’d assumed that Aokan was the core structure of Nelkipa and tried to take over that place .
They had thought so because the Mimir surrounded it .
But looking into it, the Aokan was just a side structure, and this was the true core .
‘If we knew this earlier, then we wouldn’t have wasted our forces . We would have come here right away . ’
R-Koronaita Nell frowned .
Because they had been led astray by some useless place, they had lost nine suits of Dragon God Armor .
At this point, he was now thinking that Aokan had been a trap .
A trap to lead his focus somewhere else while the enemy accomplished their original goals .
Of course, if that insect race had successfully warped to Angkara, it would have been a catastrophe .
He didn’t regret his decision to go to Aokan because of this, but the end result was still an issue .
They had lost nine Dragon God Soldiers .
And those nine Dragon God Soldiers hadn’t even stopped the Quantum Transmission either .
The two aliens had done it all .
Losing nine Dragon God Soldiers was something that would cause a bit of trouble even to him .
He was sure that this incident would cause a few of the families to charge at him and chew him apart .
They would say that an incompetent fleet master like him should receive retribution .
‘And try to fill up their own stomachs in one go . ’
R-Koronaita Nell frowned .
He could not let that happen .
‘I need to deal with N-Aroel first . ’
If someone who had witnessed everything with his own eyes were to tell the truth, then his situation would become much worse .
If he could push the story that he’d sacrificed the Dragon God Soldiers to stop the Quantum Transmission and twist some facts, he could deal with the flames for now .
‘Killing him would be too eye-catching… I’ll just have to handle his words . ’
If he knew that this would happen, then he would have dealt with N-Aroel the moment he came up here, but it was too late .
If somebody who had safely returned were to suddenly die, then the hyenas would jump on him for that as well .
R-Koronaita Nell spoke to his lieutenant commander .
“Call N-Aroel to the captain’s room . ”
“Understood . But what of the situation below?”
R-Koronaita Nell frowned at these words .
‘Mmm… What to do?’
He wanted to throw everything they had at that structure .
Those bombs didn’t make him feel at ease at all .
He wanted to sweep the three locations with a huge burst of firepower .
But his instincts, hardened by decades of experience, made it clear .
That it wouldn’t be that simple .
A strange incident on top of a strange creature .
‘Wait… I can just handle this together . ’
According to what he’d heard, N-Aroel was an amazing scientist .
He would know some things about the situation below since he had survived there for quite a long time as well .
He didn’t know how much N-Aroel knew, but it would be of great help if he could pry that information out from him .
“I’ll decide after I speak to N-Aroel . Continue watching over Nelkipa until then and if a situation that could threaten the fleet arises… attack without holding back . ”
“Understood . ”
‘I should hurry . ’
The situation really was dire .
R-Koronaita Nell quickly walked towards the captain’s room as he thought to himself .
………………………………………………… .
“You called for me?”
“Yes . Sit . ”
‘Look at him . ’
R-Koronaita Nell looked at N-Aroel and frowned . The man had on a calm expression .
He continued to stare at N-Aroel with a frown and then shook his head as he said:
“Let’s get to the main point . Do you know anything about the situation below?”
R-Koronaita Nell asked with a hardened expression .
He really didn’t like N-Aroel’s attitude .
An N-level shouldn’t be this calm in front of an R-level .
They should be wary and careful of every action and every word .
Since the R-levels had the strength to change their entire lives .
That was the difference between their ranks .
Even more so to an apex R-level like him .
‘If his responses aren’t satisfactory… I’ll just clean him up . ’
N-Aroel wouldn’t like that, of course .
Unlike before, his current mood wasn’t quite the best .
He was actually looking forward to seeing N-Aroel stutter out his words .
He could handle him with much more ease if that happened .
But unlike R-Koronaita Nell’s expectations, N-Aroel spoke with a smile .
“Of course . I know very well about the matters below . ”
“ . . . You know well?”
R-Koronaita Nell frowned .
An unexpected answer had come out .
‘He knows well?’
On his way over here, R-Koronaita Nell had lowered his expectations towards N-Aroel’s answers .
Because… he wouldn’t have been reduced to such a state if he’d known a lot .
Melchizedek had ambushed them to drive out the forces of Angkara and then focused on his objectives from that point on .
If N-Aroel and others knew a lot about Nelkipa and Melchizedek, then they wouldn’t have been pushed back this badly .
But how could N-Aroel, who’d hidden around Aokan like a rat, know anything?
‘That’s what I thought at least, but… he knows a few things, huh?’
R-Koronaita Nell was shocked but soon spoke with a serious tone .
“Speak . What’s going on below? What is that high energy reaction?”
N-Aroel laughed as he said:
“Simple . Those three locations are the core locations to control Nelkipa, and by the looks of things… someone is trying to make them self-destruct . ”
“Huh? Self-destruct?”
R-Koronaita Nell made a confused expression .
Why were they trying it blow it up?
‘Melchizedek… Didn’t he want to take over Nelkipa?’
At R-Koronaita Nell’s words, N-Aroel suddenly looked as if he remembered something .
“Oh . Sorry about that, there was a misunderstanding . The ones trying to cause the self-destruction is not Melchizedek, but the aliens . Melchizedek is using the crystal for a different reason . ”
“The aliens?”
N-Aroel nodded .
“Right . Those aliens… don’t really like each other . One side hates another, and another side hates them both . This is why they’re trying to destroy Nelkipa, so they won’t even have a place to come to anymore . ”
“ . . . Dumb creatures . Truly barbarians . ”
R-Koronaita Nell was at a loss .
For them to go to such lengths to destroy each other .
They were apes .
At that moment—
“Hahaha!”
—N-Aroel suddenly broke into laughter .
And R-Koronaita Nell was enraged at this sight .
‘This filthy…’
For an N-level to act like this in front of him .
There was nobody who had acted like this in the past .
But of course, R-Koronaita Nell couldn’t decide what to do with N-Aroel .
He’d never dealt with a situation like this before, so he didn’t know how to handle it .
He wanted to call the guards and torture N-Aroel, but he didn’t live his life like that .
He always thought through his actions, calculated how his actions would change things, and did not act on his emotions .
R-Koronaita Nell decided to take a step back and spoke to N-Aroel .
“What’s so funny?”
He didn’t do anything, but he didn’t hide his contempt .
N-Aroel shook his hands and said:
“Oh… I apologize . I just found it funny that you called the aliens barbarians because of their actions . ”
“ . . . ”
“For the fleet captain of the war planet, Angkara, to say something like that . Isn’t it funny for someone who’s lived his entire life killing his own kind to call something like this an act of barbarians?”
R-Koronaita Nell’s expression turned gruesome .
‘ . . . Is this guy crazy?’
He wasn’t even angry anymore, but just simply at a loss for words .
What did he have backing him up for him to act so confidently?
He had heard that some people lost their sense of fear after spending a long time stranded by themselves .
R-Koronaita Nell looked at N-Aroel with a strange expression and then spoke with a severe tone .
“Watch your words . I am holding back a great deal right now, and you’ve done more than cross the line . . ”
“Right… Understood . If I hurt you with my words, then I apologize . Anyway, where was I… Ah! The crystal, right? Two of the reactions below will cause the crystals to self-destruct, and the other is Melchizedek’s . They’re using them for different purposes . ”
“ . . . ”
R-Koronaita Nell decided to hold back on what to do with N-Aroel and refocused on his original objective .
To understand the situation .
“So, what is Melchizedek planning?”
N-Aroel had said so just now .
That Melchizedek had a different goal from the aliens .
And in his opinion, that was the most important point at this moment .
N-Aroel chuckled .
“Right . That’s the most important part . ”
N-Aroel breathed in and out and then asked R-Koronaita Nell .
“Captain . The Nelkipa over there . Do you know who created it?”
………………………………………………
—rumble!—
“Phew . ”
‘I’ve entered at last . ’
—chiiiiiik—
Hansoo looked around as he cooled down his heated body .
He’d had to smash apart everything before entering because of their persistence, but in the end, he had managed to enter the castle .
But it seems like that was only the beginning .
‘What a greeting . ’
A castle of machines, covered in machines .
Bright armor walking out from the darkness .
“Dragon God Armor… The crystal’s energy . Artificial Transcendents… He really spent a lot . ”
Are you saying I must at least get through all this to meet you?
Hansoo muttered at the air .
Actually, it was quite loud .
More than enough for Melchizedek to hear .
And Melchizedek, who loved to talk, could have easily created a hologram before his eyes to reply .
But there was no response .
Which meant that there were two possibilities .
‘Either he thinks I’m not worth talking to, or…’
He was so focused on something that he didn’t even have time to talk .
‘What are you up to, Melchizedek?’
Hansoo looked into the dark depths of the machine castle and thought to himself .
