The Lone SF Transmigrator in the Otherworld Forum

***"Hmm. Is everything roughly sorted out now?"

Although it had only been a few days, he had pushed things forward quickly and decisively, and now things could run to some extent even without him.

The fortress's defense was solidified with automated machines, while the fleet and White Troops took turns handling external expansion.

Under Keisha Winsler's leadership, supply and resource management was proceeding smoothly, and the fortress was rapidly expanding.

She definitely has talent for internal affairs.

Maybe I should send her to Aria for training later?

"Hieek?!"

Leaving behind Keisha, who seemed to suddenly get chills, Karlstein inspected the research complex built near the silver spring inside the fortress.

"Hut!"

"Your Imperial Majesty Karlstein!"

"I shall call personnel to attend to His Majesty immediately!"

"W-Welcome."

"Hmm."

Nod.

"That's enough. Continue with your work."

A research institute consisting of densely packed metal buildings.

Even now, additional buildings were being constructed.

Although the research institute had just been established, the Lich King, High Elf, and talents from Debra and various Murim dimensions had been brought in to assist Selena.

Karlstein dismissed the people and finished his inspection.

It would take time for results to come out. Researchers in the Galactic Empire would probably need to cooperate remotely to conduct research on World.

Matters related to the research institute couldn't be resolved in a short period.

Karlstein activated a hologram and also checked the industrial complex near the research institute.

Reports full of complex numbers and graphs dizzied his vision as they rapidly changed.

"Hmm..."

He could grasp the general situation.

"Excellent."

Leather and organs treated with special solutions entered massive machine facilities in orderly lines.

Materials that completed primary processing were sent to other factory facilities to undergo secondary, tertiary, and quaternary processing according to each material.

Debrans moved busily in between, checking quality and inspecting for any abnormalities.

They were compressed by giant presses, further compacted, and then neatly stacked in huge warehouses.

Some materials were sent to the research institute, some to Ether processing plants, and some were immediately reproduced as war supplies.

Nod.

"This side is also progressing without problems."

Materials that were difficult to utilize immediately were stored as samples and then sent to Ether processing plants to be reproduced as power sources.

The Ether produced in this way was left with enough quantity to maintain the fortress, and the rest was all sent to the Galactic Empire.

"The efficiency is better than I thought."

Karlstein's lips curled up at the results, which were no less than the [Dimensional Store].

"Not bad at all."

The guys recruited from the Community were doing better than expected too.

-Life is boring. I want to meet strong opponents.

-To obtain clues to save the world.

-To see the limits of magic.

-For the revival of my affiliated faction.

-To rebuild the ancient kingdom.

They had all applied for their own reasons.

He planned to give them appropriate rewards through interviews later.

A reward personally given by the Emperor of the Galactic Empire?

They would probably have to prove themselves. Whether they were worthy of receiving his reward.

"It's still going smoothly so far."

Because of their aggressive expansion, those Sephiroth bastards and Kaiju were currently hesitating. Or rather, they seemed to be retreating.

But they couldn't expand infinitely like this.

Would they really tolerate all of World's resources being taken by this side?

He didn't think so.

They would probably start responding soon.

Until then, he would keep pushing relentlessly. While waiting for their reaction.

Alright.

For now, I'll take care of this much and take a break.

Karlstein entered the capsule exclusive for Avatars and disconnected.

***[The momentum is ominous.]

[If it were just momentum, we wouldn't have gathered like this.]

[Keuung....]

[To be pushed back by mere humans.... This is humiliation.]

[Watch your words.]

[We can't consider them simple humans, can we?]

Silhouettes surrounding a small silver spring.

They were urgently holding a meeting because of humans of a kind they had never seen before.

[Is it human technology?]

[Such... things were created by human technology alone?]

[It's an unbelievable power.]

[It cannot even be called an Artifact, as it doesn't seem to be magic either.]

[And their numbers are not small.]

It was absurd.

A powerful army armed with metal.

It was certainly clear that humans were operating them, but these were things they had never heard of or seen before.

How could humans go that far?

[They are constantly expanding.]

[How long do we have to retreat?]

[There are some strong ones among them that can't be ignored.]

[Kuk.]

It wasn't something they could do, feeling threatened by mere humans and requesting help from superiors.

[What are the Higher Order clan members who arrived here doing now?]

[They must be performing the ritual.]

[The ritual to connect to Mother....]

A being called Mother, Sephiroth, or Dimensional Tree by the clan.

The root and origin of the Sephiroth clan. The Alpha as well as the Omega.

[If only the ritual succeeds....]

[Of course, we still need to drive out those Chaos bastards and those... humans.]

[Haah....]

[Rather, how about we all gather our strength and end it at once? If we just endure some damage...]

They kept retreating to reduce damage, but what if they ignored even that damage and struck at once?

[Didn't you all feel it then?]

[That....]

[It's not something to think lightly of.]

[....]

However, the reason they couldn't do that was probably because an unbelievable being was observed on the human side. Probably a being that even a commanding officer couldn't handle.

Fear leaked out faintly under their serious expressions.

[It's insufficient to simply dismiss him as a transcendent being....]

[This isn't something we can decide among ourselves.]

[Damn it.]

It was frustrating. This current situation where they could do neither this nor that.

It was already taxing enough just dealing with the Kaiju on the Chaos side.

But now, as the humans armed with metal rapidly expanded recently, they had to keep retreating.

[But we can't just abandon the Sacred Relic that was taken like this, can we?]

[No matter how low-grade the Sacred Relic is, we can't let it fall into human hands. We must retrieve it.]

[There's no need to even mention how much impact each Sacred Relic has caused when it fell into the hands of those Chaos bastards.]

That's right.

Losing a Sacred Relic was a huge mistake for them.

Wasn't that why the commanding officer leading the different affiliates gathered here now had issued a gag order and returned to the superiors?

[How about quietly asking another Higher Order clan member with connections?]

[That....]

[There's someone staying here who has connections with an Elder, isn't there?]

[Eriel....]

[It's dangerous. That would be openly defying the commanding officer.]

The commanding officer leading them wasn't incompetent, but he was quite cautious when it came to politics.

[Moreover, if the main force finds out about this, our treatment will worsen too.]

[So let's return to our respective divisions and comfort them well.]

In the end, no clear plan came out until the commanding officer returned.

[For now, just focus on reducing damage.]

[Haah....]

Their sighs grew deeper day by day.

***Meanwhile, the Community was bustling in its own way.

ㄴare those the ones who were chosen?

ㄴno way lol aren't they all named?

ㄴis being a named the basic requirement to participate in the circle jerk...

ㄴSeems like there are some I've never seen before too.

ㄴa newbie got chosen?

ㄴMust be someone who was just lurking.

ㄴThey all seem capable.

ㄴaren't they the rumored transcendents?

ㄴno wtf let us join too!!!

From complaints about circle jerks…

ㄴanyone else fail the recruitment?

ㄴ111

ㄴ22

ㄴI failed too.

ㄴAh my PTSD is coming back.

ㄴWhy did I fail? I pride myself on being stronger than that Lich bastard at least.

ㄴthat’s right! at least tell us why!!

ㄴthat's right!

ㄴThe prevailing theory is that the Lich wasn't chosen for his combat power.

ㄴmaybe you didn't praise the Oradge enough?

ㄴhaah.... I really wanted to be chosen.

ㄴagh damnit lol

ㄴdo you need to have saved a country in your past life to be chosen? lol

ㄴWhy are there so many people who failed?

ㄴLMAO everyone was acting like they wouldn't apply but look at you all now

ㄴikr lol

ㄴI'm just envious.

To the complaints of users who failed the recruitment notice, various reactions came up.

If there was a common interest among them…

ㄴikr. the 'Oradge's reward' mentioned in the notice. who wouldn't drool over that?

ㄴi wonder how much a reward guaranteed by the Oradge would be?

ㄴa reward given by an SF Absolute?

ㄴMy mouth is watering.

ㄴhow can I HOLD BACK!!

ㄴKYEEEEEEEEEEK!!

However, less than ten people were chosen.

ㄴaiya Oradge!! increase the quota!

ㄴthat’s right! there are at least ten thousand people waiting!

ㄴ(Open the door meme)

ㄴPLEASE!!!

ㄴOwner!! Open the door!!

ㄴlet me in too! I don't even want a reward!

Everyone was interested.

The Oradge said there would be additional recruitment later, but there was no way that the patience of Community users could be that high.

All sorts of gross images and memes were spammed and there were signs of a riot, but...

There was someone who comforted them.

"Yong-hi! Yong-hi! Did everyone wait?"

ㄴeven if it's just a pie in the sky, keep streaming so we can see.

ㄴWelcome, porter.

ㄴwht did u say? dragons are the weakest?

ㄴwhen the Lich King entered, yongyong at least managed to escape from being the youngest lol

ㄴyoungest AHAHAHAHAHAH where's dat dragon's dignity?

ㄴso when are you getting the enhancement surgery?

ㄴLOLOLOLOL

ㄴi mean hey in the last stream he was getting a consultation.

ㄴlol he said he'd think about it until today lol

YongYongTV, the Community's self-proclaimed cutie talent of a jester, was soothing the users' complaints.
