EP.838 Part 3 Chapter 2 Section 20 Blazing Phoenix’s Bitch

Nazi.

There’s no need to elaborate on their deeds.

What matters is how their actions seeped into Earth in the year 20.

There’s someone who knows about Nazis in the year 20 of Earth.

“Yuna, call Hydra.”

“I can answer that. I know everything.”

I summoned Yuna to my house.

“Hydra doesn’t want to recall those events.”

“Hydra claims to know everything. What do we do if she refuses to show up?”

“Thanks to someone traumatizing her, she doesn’t even want to mention it, Mr. Xian.”

“……”

Suddenly, my heart feels pricked.

The sharp glares directed at me from Yuna and others start overlapping.

“I haven’t done anything wrong.”

“You haven’t. You just fondled women before unleashing Blazing Phoenix Revival right before consummation.”

“Big brother, aren’t you too obsessed with villains?”

“I simply targeted them when they were most vulnerable.”

Thanks to that, I successfully conquered Hydra.

And I don’t regret it, not one bit.

“In any case, since the main person isn’t coming, Yuna, you explain instead.”

“Understood. So, Hydra…”

Originally.

Hydra was a villain active in Europe, centered around Italy-Rome.

She had an enormous number of villains under her command.

Most of these villains weren’t just monsters but individuals who succumbed to Hydra’s magic power and manipulation, betraying humanity and joining the side of evil.

By the time we reach the year 25 of Earth, there’s even the Round Table, which has fallen into ruin.

Earth in the year 20 was worse than Earth in the year 25.

“Some guy went around spoiling things right before the year 2000, so the lieutenants were able to use minimal magic powers and started acting as early as the year 2000.”

“That’s not my fault either. I believed the lieutenants would accept themselves as spirits.”

“You didn’t stop them from abusing their bodies, right?”

“……”

Thanks to someone chattering endlessly to the lieutenants, most of them began activities starting in the year 2000.

Someone grew enough by the year 20 to synchronize on their own, and Hydra gathered villains starting from the year 2000, becoming the head of a massive evil organization.

Literally, the evil organization ‘Hydra’.

If we must nitpick, its name comes from the monster in Greek mythology.

But all gamers know.

The true origin of the word Hydra.

Just like the ones who once tried to dominate all of Europe, this massive evil organization extended its influence across the entire European continent, becoming a supermassive villain group that united every villain in Central Europe under Hydra.

For example, Zeus the Rapist.

For example, Dracula the Vampire.

For example, Barbarossa the Modern Pirate King.

Essentially, all villains in Europe outside Northern Europe and the UK were under Hydra’s control.

And among these, the ones most related to “Adolf Wilhelm”…

“There was a guy named Adolf Wilhelm under Hydra’s rule over European villains. They were ‘Neo-Nazis,’ right?”

“Yes.”

Neo-Nazis.

Those who survived without perishing.

They attempted to regroup using their special abilities, but I subdued Hydra, the boss, turning all European villains into forgotten eggs overnight.

Though there were forces empowered by Hydra,

once the lieutenant Hydra was purified by Ji Ryun, the villains lost Hydra’s protection.

…Even though Hydra took responsibility by synchronizing with Yuna instead of actually controlling Ji Ryun, anyway, Hydra disappeared from Earth in the year 20.

But I didn’t touch Hydra’s organization and stayed hidden while keeping an eye on the Blue Wind Sect.

Because I was fully focused on dealing with Seongju and the Otherworldly Spirit.

After subduing Hydra, I was busy fighting Azidahaka, and just when I thought I could catch my breath, Pluto came flying at us.

-I will destroy Pluto, so heroes, suppress the villains instead.

While I dealt with Earth’s threats, heroes around the world fought against corrupt and dictatorial villains.

For instance, Sun Icheol from Korea, Mo Taegyeong from China, and countless others.

In other countries, there were also numerous reincarnations of past mass murderers and dictators.

Among them, the most representative was ‘Adolf Wilhelm.’

As his name suggests, he’s a case where two figures merged into one.

An arch-enemy of the Ariel route and a Neo-Nazi extending influence across Europe.

And outwardly, one of the five-star members of the Hero Association’s Senate.

“Harang, you were part of the Round Table, so you know, right? Adolf Wilhelm. He couldn’t directly influence the Round Table but kept asking for favors whenever possible.”

“…I don’t know much. The uncle cut off whatever the Senate wanted to say to me.”

“Commander?”

Commander.

A figure deserving the title of commander despite lacking the talent for it.

Although reborn as the Dark Commander by the tattoo artist to lead the world to destruction, in the year 20 of Earth, I preemptively blocked it, preventing the history of human extinction.

What kind of destruction?

Connection to another world.

“The Commander said there are crazy people trying to invade Earth from another world.”

“They’re insane. They abandoned Earth and tried to invade another world to make it their new Earth. In short… terraforming?”

“Indeed. Terraforming Terra?”

“……..”

“What? Why’s the atmosphere getting tense?”

The mood suddenly stiffened as if I’d made some vile joke, even though I’d merely stated the facts.

‘It’s their fault.’

The cold stares from my wives were entirely due to those who tried to create a dimensional gate to Terra.

“Do they intend to turn Terra into Earth’s colony?”

“Just speak casually.”

“No, I’m not feeling casual.”

“What’s uncomfortable now?”

“It feels like losing something to bring this up again.”

Terrified by the decaying Earth, Earthlings attempted to invade another world.

The technical foundation behind this was the ‘Dimensional Gate.’

Just as many monsters poured through the dimensional gates connecting other worlds to Earth, data on the magical phenomenon itself accumulated endlessly.

This led to the development of reverse-dimensional gate technology thanks to Hikari’s genius research—though that’s a story after the ending.

“Hmm…without sufficient data, crossing dimensions shouldn’t be possible. How did they succeed?”

“Why wouldn’t they have it?”

“…Don’t we have four good sets of data?”

“They’re all here.”

“……”

Data escaping the world.

Me.

Shin-ra.

Seok Harang.

Yuinah.

“With this much data, Hikari could definitely pull it off.”

“So, is Hikari the one who connected Terra via the dimensional gate? Why? Harang, Yuna, do you have any guesses? After all, you were in the year 20 of Earth until the end.”

“That’s unknowable, right? We don’t know if the dimensional gate opened during the year 20 of Earth or even later than the year 25.”

“That’s correct. It might have opened somewhere completely different. If it opened in the year 20 of Earth, it should have opened here, not connected to Terra.”

“That makes sense.”

It’s clear that Adolf Wilhelm in the past version of Terra was likely a world corrupted by Seongju, yet there’s no way anyone could connect to that past Terra.

This situation is incomprehensible.

“Could someone have crossed over to the past Terra? Fuhehe.”

“Shin-ra?”

“I’ve inherited the last name ‘Ha’ and roughly understand the situation. That ‘kid’ who tricked you.”

“……”

They said.

It’s impossible to forcibly extract just one person.

Instead, it’s possible to exchange them for someone of equivalent standing.

In the year 20 of Earth, counting the four of us here and two others from the company, that makes six total.

…Even assuming one person can move freely, at most five—or at least one person—is trapped in the year 20 of Earth.

“That kid established the connection.”

I already knew the result.

But the process I couldn’t understand connected instantly with Shin-ra’s words.

“That guy opened a dimensional gate to the past Terra.”

“Or Hikari studied that dimensional gate and opened a portal to another world.”

“…Or maybe someone used a Cube, right?”

“To conquer the isekai I can dominate! Something like that, perhaps.”

“……Then what? That’s the current situation.”

Adolf Wilhelm’s godlike reincarnation.

It just happened to be Terra.

“Hey, Seok Harang, Yuinah. Apologize as Earthlings.”

“We? Why should we apologize for the madness of a lunatic?”

“That’s right. The source of chaos crawling on the ground is the problem.”

“Hmm…”

I jokingly tested the mood, but received a serious response.

Regrettable.

“Still, if Terra is now connected to the year 20 of Earth, isn’t that a good thing? We could see everyone after such a long time.”

“…That’s true, but isn’t your Xroid still there?”

“Oh.”

“Ah.”

“I heard meeting more than three of the same person causes simultaneous explosions leading to death. Will that happen?”

Yes, it will.

At least because I am ‘me.’

If another ‘me’ appears…

“I’ve been curious about something for a while.”

“Yeah?”

“What exactly did you implant in the Xroids you distributed?”

“Distributed? Oh ho.”

“It’s not entirely wrong, is it?”

“It isn’t.”

“…Not exactly distribution, but let’s say it was inspired by Seongju’s idea.”

Why does Seongju come up here?

The three of them looked at me with that gaze.

“No, what? I sincerely embedded something in each Xroid.”

The reason for sending one per person.

It’s because they are individuals who can sincerely treat the heroines.

“What did you put in them?”

Just sincerity.

When conquering each heroine’s route, my sincere intentions toward them.

“The mindset of someone trying to conquer a heroine’s route?”

Each Xroid contains the sincerity I felt while pursuing their respective routes.

“They’re all me. Just…with different loves.”

That’s right. Before knowing I could conquer Blazing Phoenix.

When I loved and cherished each heroine as much as Blazing Phoenix.

“When I think about it, you’re saying Shin-ra is to them what others are to you?”

Exactly.
