Episode 33 – Disruption of Balance (3)

“Come together. It is enough to fight together!”

“powwow! I need support here… Kyaaa!”

Abigyuhwan, and mayhem. As the devil intended, the devil’s army thoroughly made a melee.

The demon king, who controls the movements of all objects with transcendental computing power, was more confident in the melee.

Of course, it is true that the movement becomes clunky due to the lack of detailed calculations, but compared to the opponent who is in a melee, the control and movement are very superior.

It is thanks to the command objects planted in the elements that this crazy thing was possible even while passing over 10,000 units.

The appearance itself is no different from other soldiers, but they have a protected brain inside their bodies. They use their brains to direct their troops and connect them to the demon king to assist in calculations.

In the end, the command system of the Demon King’s army is a kind of network in which numerous brains are connected as one centered on the Demon King.

That was the secret that made possible an integrated group strategy, a realm that demons could not even imagine and impossible for living creatures.

“Kit! Hold on! Hold on!”

[Goblin Knight Commander Tooruㆍ1st Awakeningㆍlv 35]

Of course, the goblins weren’t being pushed unilaterally. Centering on special people, they somehow managed to defeat the demon king’s army one by one.

“Aren’t these guys afraid of death!”

The goblin knight, Tooru, fought on the front lines. He looked down at the corpse of the Orc Beta, which had been broken in two by his magically-enhanced, shining blue sword, and shouted as if he was tired of it.

It is true that a counterattack is under way. There were as many corpses of the Demon King as there were corpses of goblins among the corpses piling up on the floor.

But the mindset itself was different. Unlike the goblins, who were greatly intimidated and feared when a colleague died, the demon army rather trampled on the corpse of their colleague and used it as a stepping stone to attack more vigorously.

“······yes. Then let everyone die!”

Shouting in anger, Tooru swung his sword again and cut off the front claws of the giant spider that was charging at it, slashing its face.

As befits an aide to a king who has gone through a great war, he did not lose his fighting spirit. The courageous leader of the Goblin Knights became hope himself and led his subordinates as the main axis of resistance.

“…”

And there was a command object watching it.

An unnamed command object converted from Orc Alpha to Orc Beta prior to battle. It grabbed the sword in its hand as it watched Tooru slaughter the troops he dispatched.

Originally, this would not have been the case with an ordinary command object. Even if it was a command object, in the end it was a kind of program that only moved according to the collected data.

However, ‘it’, which has accumulated numerous experiences so far, is different. Watching Tooru desperately fighting, he sensed something strange sprouting inside him.

‘anger.’

It was a kind of feeble and dizzy feeling.

anger, or sympathy. Like the demon king, it corresponds to a sub-program the demon king modeled after himself, so ‘it’, which can be called the devil’s alter ego, was also undergoing changes little by little.

“Keuugh… This guy!?”

Tooru was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a new enemy on the battlefield. Four swords wielded from four arms.

If it wasn’t for the magically strengthened body and sword, he wouldn’t have been able to counter it.

‘different.’

Tooru, who had already killed Orc Beta, noticed in a split second that the opponent’s movements were incomparable to those of others in the swordsmanship he had competed with several times.

Above all, in the attacks aimed at his throat, he sensed a murderous intent and aggression that he couldn’t feel from other monsters.

“You look a bit like a monster now. But, will it be just that much!”

Tooru, who seemed to be fighting against dolls that were extremely cold even in a fierce battle, swung her sword in delight at the appearance of the adversary she finally met.

Then, Orc and Beta were pushed back. No matter how much he strengthened his body and accumulated data on swordsmanship, his opponent was also a veteran, and it was impossible to overcome the mysterious power of magic one-on-one.

“under!”

In the end, Orc Beta was cut for a long time by Tooru’s sword, and bodily fluids were scattered. Two of the four arms were blown off and were seriously injured to the extent that they could not move.

He forcibly moved his body to kill Tooru, who was laughing at him, but staggering was the limit.

“This is the end… these guys!?”

However, Tooru, who was trying to finish it, was swept away by the attack of the other demon army attacking from all sides.

[Injured object rapid healing program activated.]

After that, a spider dragging a huge ship from the Demon King’s side approached. Then, the spider sprayed the mucus it vomited from its mouth on the injured ‘it’ according to the value entered.

Slime is a substance with a high concentration made of nanoparticles. The injected new nano penetrated the injured body and rapidly healed the injury by dividing into new cells.

This whole process was part of the wounded soldier recovery program that the demon king had built for more efficient combat.

[Rebattle.]

The Demon King ordered the healed to fight again. It followed that order, of course. However, the glowing red eyes in the black carapace were still fixed on Tooru.

“Ah ah ah ah ah! No more answers than this! Annihilate them!”

“Ha, but Commander! If that happens, the damage to allies will be…”

“Then, are you going to retreat aimlessly against those mad monsters and be annihilated in reverse! It is right to win first and then retreat!”

Commander-in-Chief Nielg, who made a judgment based on the situation and atmosphere of the battlefield, eventually ordered to grit his teeth and fight.

Even though they didn’t have a choice, they seemed to be able to fight and win somehow. Although the momentum and tactics were behind, it was possible because there was an anomalous power to explode hundreds of enemies at once with a large-scale magic.

“Fight! to the end!”

In the end, the goblins also fought, determined to fight to the very end. Fight and death, a desperate battlefield where only those two exist.

[We need to snipe the enemy’s advanced troops as much as possible]

The Demon King relentlessly sniped at the enemy’s advanced troops who dealt with magical powers on the battlefield where they were prepared for annihilation anyway.

Those who were protected and strong in the center like Commander Nielg couldn’t bear to touch them, but it was possible to devour the low-end troops fighting in the front.

The Demon King judged that even that was an advantage for himself. Considering the time and resources the enemy would spend raising a single goblin knight, he could have sacrificed a few of the demon army.

“This can’t be… This is…”

[Enemy loss rate 89%, ally loss rate 95%.]

Finally, the battle that lasted about half a day without a break entered the final stage. Both sides fought over corpses piled high on the floor. The blood they spilled could not wet the ground and overflowed.

The moment when the dead far outnumber the survivors.

Commander Nielg, who was struggling with magical exhaustion, and the Demon King’s Army, who only survived the command object, stopped fighting for a while.

[Now, we will retreat our allies and attack them again with our newly raised troops.]

“If…they block it again this time.”

[At that time, you can repeat the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strokes]

Box D’s voice is peaceful as always. I was dazed as I looked at the heap of corpses spread out across the screen.

I watched it from start to finish. A devastating and terrible war in which huge groups and groups collided. But this was just the beginning.

“I can’t win. Because they have many things to protect.”

Our headquarters are now almost empty. But I was sure the goblins wouldn’t be able to counterattack with all their remaining forces. If that were the case, we wouldn’t have divided our forces in the first place.

[They are hastily retreating to collect their forces. I will replenish nutrients immediately]

It didn’t end there, and Box D put in countless workers to collect the corpses piled up on the battlefield. Whether it was the corpse of an enemy or a corpse of an ally, he would use even that as food.

[As soon as the troops are restored, they will attack the enemy cities in rotation]

“I will never be able to stop it the way it is now. However, if we gather our strength again at one point, we can attack from behind. great. It seems to be going according to plan.”

Box D’s execution power to make things happen is always beyond my expectations. The army, which started with a few goblins in the corner of the cave, has grown to occupy a corner of the Pandemonium and compete with the existing rulers.

However, Box D, who has learned the taste of growth, cannot be satisfied with just this much.

“Now let’s repeat that story. From what you said, are you saying that an ordinary command object is developing a new self?”

I changed the subject. It wasn’t just Park D who was growing.

[I copied the subprogram that degraded myself and put it into the command objects. In fact, in battles above a certain scale, they play a large role as field commanders. Without them, such a large-scale battle would be impossible with my computing power.]

“Then…they are the same as your alter ego?”

It took me a while to understand, but I finally understood that it was similar to YuRia.

However, because Yuria has her own ego and uses her brain with her own will, it is impossible to command the Demon King’s army.

Conversely, since the command objects do not have egos, they can use their brains to command the demon army. But now, some of the commanding entities are showing signs of awakening their egos, including emotions.

[There is no way that self is similar to a human or me. I originally perfectly understand human emotions…]

“I know. I’m not saying there won’t be any problems controlling it anyway.”

On the subject of being a part of himself, BakxD drew a line saying that he was different from them. Of course, that wouldn’t be wrong.

As Box.D said, they are nothing more than a degraded version of Box.D.

“Still… I think I have an advantage.”

BoxD seemed to be planning to scrap them, but I objected. Certainly, as Bakxd said, it could be harmful.

But I decided it wouldn’t hurt to leave the seeds of variety behind.

Above all, the biggest reason is because of Box D’s ego, which is getting bigger and bigger. Emotions that vary and intensify, desires and beliefs, and so on.

Like a growing infant, Bakxdi himself, who is just growing up, does not know himself. But I know for sure. That ego can sometimes hurt itself.

When that time comes, you need other beings to help you.

“I wish there were more people like Yuria who can help you. I think it’s hard for you to handle everything by yourself.”

[But if that happens…]

Box D hesitated to answer. Is it a difficult decision too?
