Regressor Instruction Manual
chapter-731

The problem was the time.

“How much divinity do you think is being consumed every hour?”

The divinity collected from the pigeons was being thrown into the trash can with every second that passed by. Continuing to invest in the dummy world, penetrating existing continental systems, and the continuing war all needed divinity.

It was no exaggeration that one-third of the gathered divinity was being used. Divinity continued to be consumed at this time.

Lee Jihye’s smiling face was evident. I was worried that she would utter negative comments, but I felt like I didn’t need to worry based on her expression.

‘I’m a little relieved.’

“There’s going to be a great deal of benefits to mankind over time. Every continuous battle has a small advantage.”

“Because Cherubim is tied up here.”

“Seraphim is tied up, but what matters more than the fact that Cherubim and Seraphim are tied up are the supplies and our budget. You’re right, Oppa. This is the right one. From Cherubim’s point of view, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that he was stabbed in the back. How long do you think it’ll take?”

“Well, I’d like to do it for at least half a month. But I think they’ll notice in a week, or it could be a little later…The situation’s a little hectic right now. They can’t afford to argue about everything. Maybe it’s time to have a blast. They’ll want to turn the tables, and I’m sure they think they can think of a way to get rid of me.”

“I know.”

“We both do. How can you not stick your teeth in front of an injured prey? I think it would be more difficult for him if I’m about to get caught but don’t actually get caught… He’s not tactless. Best case scenario, we can keep this going for another two months at the maximum.”

“How do we find a way to keep it going longer?”

“No, Noona. You don’t have to do that. If you move too obviously, they’ll get suspicious. This is the ideal state right now. The Dummy World continues to run, burning through divinity, and we’re following the manual.”

“That’s the main goal, isn’t it?”

“Of course.”

If the outside world understood our plans, the benefits would be maximized.

‘I just don’t want to create a big threat.’

All I had to do was lessen the demons’ benefits enough for them to have seizures. Looking at what our allies had shown so far, they also seemed to understand.

As time went by, I realized that was the most advantageous scenario. Just like what the manual said, I felt like I was helping a snowball roll down without strain.

‘This is how it works.’

It was important to continue that little gain.

I thought Hyejin had a lot of things to do. Although internal maintenance was over, there must’ve been more things to pay attention to as long as the troops were pulled forward.

Since the army had advanced, they would’ve had to establish a temporary front, and they would be looking for ways to restore the lovely regressor to his original state while closely monitoring him as he moved.

‘Yeah, Hyejin. Shit, time is on our side.’

“Don’t you think you should get going?”

“Oh, I should.”

“I don’t think there’s much to be prepared for… But don’t let them get to you. You might get eaten in an instant while trying to throw shade at them. It’s actually dangerous. If you move incorrectly, they’ll turn you into a traitor.”

‘That can’t be true.’

It wasn’t conceit. It was conviction.

The idea remained unchanged as we stepped forward to faithfully conduct our investigation. Seraphim was suspicious of Cherubim, and Cherubim was in a hurry to eat the bait thrown at him.

In other words, there was no acting brain that could pieces together and fit them on the board.

It hadn’t been long since an independent investigation agency was established.

‘I can earn about three days from the initial investigation.’

If I simply continued to hang out with Cherubim, a week would pass.

Even if he realized then, he wouldn’t be able to tie me up easily. After all, It was him who asked to establish an independent investigation agency, and I couldn’t be pressured by mere suspicion.

If I could buy time through administrative procedures, the snowball would grow bigger to the extent where I would be able to crush the temple, and eventually, my small, sweet revenge would be completed.

‘I’ll avenge you.’

It was just before I reached the destination that I felt something strange.

There was a red background.

“Prepare for battle. Prepare for battle!”

‘What kind of battle?’

“It’s humans. Arm yourselves!”

‘So what do you mean by that?’

The temple was being filled with red warning lights, similar to those that brighten up during emergencies.

I couldn’t get my act together due to the sudden situation. I was sure it was a flower garden just before, but the view was starting to get darker.

‘What is this shit? Is this real? Is this real? What is this?’

A flash of memory came into my mind.

‘Kim Hyunsung cut ties with the federation?’

“That’s impossible.”

It was impossible to penetrate the barriers of the temple. Although a bit exaggerated, the temple’s barrier was protected by the system.

Even if one pierced it from the outside, moving into the temple in an instant…

‘Are you out there?’

Shit.

Anxiety suddenly clawed all over my body and back.

‘Is he really here? Do pigeons look like pushovers? You’re going to charge right at the enemy?’

Was Cho Hyejin out of her mind?

‘No, Shit, if there’s someone above carrying the situation, one should just wait quietly. Why are you being so impatient? I never told you to do that in the manual?’

It was a dogmatic judgment. I would never agree to throw such a farce. In the first place, it was still doing well.

I endured all the hardships and troubles just to design everything. I worked so… hard to…

“You… crazy people.”

If they couldn’t come inside in an instant, there was only one thing they could do.

“They’re trying to break through from the outside.”

It was a disadvantageous fight. It wasn’t something one could do in their right mind.

Of course, I jumped and looked out. What caught my eye was a very familiar form of transport.

‘The Ark.’

“You… you crazy bastards.”

‘Nice boat.’

“You morons…”

I didn’t know if they were trying to carry more people into the temple. Regardless, it looked like they’d already tuned it.

Looking at the pointed device mounted on the front of the hull, I could predict what its use was.

After teleporting the ship to the front of the temple…

“Are you just going to break through?”

The hope of mankind was rushing toward the place, which made me even more anxious.

“Hey, you crazy bastards!”

In that urgent situation, the telescope was turned on, and although I worried if someone was observing me, I was more worried about that ship above.

My sights began to penetrate and reflect inside the hull.

-Stronger!

‘Park Deokgu, shit. You pig.”

-Row harder!

‘You stupid pig.’

-We have to speed it up!

The wizards moving the ship by rowing the magic oars was quite a sight to behold.

-Ah, you’re so frustrating! Give me some paddles. I’ve told you so many times that you have to row hard! Come on, chant, go! Go! Go! Everyone, get the timing right! Push and Pull!

-A pigeon is approaching.

-Mr. Ki-mo, please take a look at it.

-Open the gunports now! Fire on my signal! Load the shells, damn it, load the shells!

-The magic cannons are ready.

‘When did you put so many magic cannons on? Shit. What the hell were you doing?’

-Go! Go!

-Fire!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!

-Fire!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!

‘What’s wrong with you guys?’

I was worried that those crazy people might’ve acted arbitrarily among themselves, but I didn’t think so. If they had moved alone in the first place, they wouldn’t have reached that far. When I looked inside the hull a little more, I saw the faces of the passengers.

‘Cho Hyejin, Shit. How could you do this to me?’

Cho Hyejin was looking outside with a determined look on her face.

‘Hayan looks healthy, but is the branch you’re holding in your hand supposed to be Sora?’

Jung Hayan was mumbling while holding a part of Han Sora’s body tightly in her hand.

‘Why are you in there? Shit.’

Raphael remained quiet, his hand on his sword.

‘Hee-ra, you’re gearing up to fight, aren’t you?’

Cha Hee-ra looked excited.

I couldn’t even enumerate every single one of them. Even those who didn’t fit in any position could be seen in my field of vision.

Seeing that Sun Hee-young and Elena also came, they seemed to have decided not to cover the rear against potential invasions.

All the Blue Guild members had gathered. All the named ones that could be classified as strong individuals in the continent seemed to be on board.

“Nobody assumed they were going to be shot down with that ship? Did no one go against that crazy plan?’

It wasn’t known whether Cho Hyejin was involved in the incitement or whether it was even her who initiated it. Regardless, it remained unchanged that it was unreasonable.

I couldn’t believe the situation that was going on outside.

A huge counterattack began, all aimed at the sky, as the ship in the sky continued to rush vigorously toward the temple. The ark didn’t break even as its hull was hit and shocked by the pigeons. Shit, yes. It was simply that strong.

I had been on a trip to another dimension on it, so I was sure it could endure a lot of damages, but I wasn’t sure if it would reach all the way to where I was.

If I were there, I wouldn’t have thrown that ship in the temple.

The ark broke through the first line of defense and was greeted by pigeons flocking like dogs, trying to stop the ship’s movement somehow, but magic barrages kept them at bay.

-Fire! Fire! Fireeee!!

‘Ahn Ki-mo, didn’t he say that his dream was to be the pirate king?’

“You’re probably happy since you’ve achieved your dreams, damn it.”

Baaaaaaaaang!

Every time a cannon sprayed fire, pigeons bounced out of the ark.

A huge shield wrapped around its hull, and the ark approached with faster movement, gaining momentum.

-Move forward! Move forward! Stronger! We’re going to hit! Brace for impact, ladies and gentlemen!

-Everybody, prepare to board! Prepare to enter and fight! We’re charging straight in, you hear me?! Follow the manual!

“You piece of shit, talking about following the manual.”

-Hold on tight!!!!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!

The ark hit a transparent membrane, reverberating a loud sound. It was going to be a little awkward, but I wanted them to go back.

However, the ark squeezed in with a murky sound. What would happen next was obvious.

With a deafening roar, the ark crept into the temple, and the pig, who succeeded in landing, ran out of the ship with a triumphant face. It was a difficult situation to comment on.

“Shit… you bastards…”
