The Lone SF Transmigrator in the Otherworld Forum

Heavy air.

Pressure weighing down on the body.

Dulled Ether.

I've definitely arrived this time.

Karlstein looked around and grinned.

Haphazardly constructed barriers of wood and metal.

Watchtowers and bunkers installed at intervals along the barriers.

Murim White Troops standing guard everywhere.

Hyperion and interception turrets in the sky.

Swoosh- Step- Step-

"We greet Your Imperial Majesty Karlstein."

"O-Oradge!"

"Ungh...!"

"YongYong is here too!"

Four people instantly appeared before Karlstein.

"Is this the first time we're all seeing each other together? Somehow it's become a gathering of Moderators!"

Ignoring the four with their various gazes, Karlstein immediately got to work.

"Let's deal with the urgent matters first."

Pzzt-

"Selena. I'll need your help fixing coordinates."

"...Yes!"

Selena, with a hint of fear visible.

"And Virdel, assist with the material transfer."

Virdel, with an intense gaze.

Pzzt-

"And Hyperion..."

[We greet the eminent Great Hero of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Karlstein Babylon.]

Hyperion, answering demurely.

"Yep. Let me use some of your parts."

[If that is your wish, then gladly.]

"Keisha, you take the Debrans and handle supplies and fortress expansion."

"A-Alright."

And Keisha, flustered by Karlstein's strange charisma.

"And the defense will be handled by the fortress itself. The Murim White Troops will switch to offense."

"!!"

"Galactic! Galactic! Galactic!"

"Woooah!"

"Galactic! Galactic! Galactic!"

Karlstein grinned as he looked at the frenzied crowd.

It wasn't for nothing that he inserted the Metal Domination Factor into this Avatar.

Snap.

With a snap of his fingers, the haphazardly installed metal structures all floated up into the air at once.

Unlike in Xianxia, it's applying without any problems here.

Nod.

Karlstein began to simultaneously handle the four tasks he had ordered.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

Behind Karlstein, who was scanning the crowd, metal bulkheads began to form, creating an impregnable fortress.

Pzzt- Boom- Keeng- Click-

Disassembled armaments from Hyperion and KAI were installed along the bulkheads.

"Remember. This is just a base camp. Our only goal is attack."

"We will remember!"

"Yes! Understood!"

Though it did feel like he was forgetting something...

"Tengggg!"

***The fortress began to change at a level of complete transformation.

Sturdy and tall metal walls rose up, and automatic turrets and various firearms installed at regular intervals spewed fire.

Support supplies poured in endlessly, and the Murim White Troops were reinforced.

Step- Step- Step-

The well-disciplined Murim White Troops finished arming themselves with newly supplied equipment and set out from the fortress to hunt Kaiju. Profound Realm martial artists armed with cutting-edge equipment formed battle formations.

Boom-

With Hyperion's detectors acting as the communication hub, the interception units moved organically. In cases where difficult opponents were expected even for the Murim White Troops' level, Virdel would sortie along with Hyperion.

"It's still not enough."

Even so, Karlstein wasn't satisfied. His greed didn't stop at this level.

If we're going to do it, let's do it properly.

"Construct 2nd and 3rd barriers and expand the territory."

As Karlstein instantly installed the structural framework, Debrans rushed in to reinforce the details. Selena immediately began research along with establishing a research institute, and everyone moved busily as one body.

"The resource reserves of World are beyond imagination. This isn't something that could be created with just 1 trillion Karma Points."

This was a clear fact.

Sure, 1 trillion Karma Points wasn't something to be called "just". Even so, it wasn't enough to generate the resources of the entire World.

"Analysis of resource reserves is a lower priority. We will kill and scrape up everything we can see."

"Galactic! Galactic! Galactic!"

Following Karlstein's orders, unmanned ships were continuously transmitted from the Galactic Empire.

Seeing this aggressive investment, everyone had the same thought.

Gulp-

He's serious.

He means business.

Could it be that even this much is nothing to the Galactic Empire?

Regardless of such reactions, Karlstein issued orders without hesitation.

"These ships are equipped with basic automated systems. Debrans with boarding experience should be able to operate them somehow."

A defense fleet composed of unmanned ships patrolled around the barrier periodically and bombarded, while a field fleet made up of Debrans and Murim White Troops swept through everything with the momentum to burn it all down.

Unfortunately, while it was possible to transfer items from the Galactic Empire dimension to here, it was impossible to move people. Even Karlstein had to take the approach of transferring a Avatar and then connecting to it.

Sending materials from World was also still impossible. Unlike Ether, it was different. Although Selena was constantly researching for this purpose, it was unknown when results would come.

The Galactic Empire's Astral Barrier was probably estimated to be the cause.

However, such things were of no concern to them.

Unceasing orders and victories.

That alone was their driving force.

"Select additional Debrans who have experience operating ships!"

"Supply Battalion Private Karon! I have received the order!"

"Kill all the Kaiju and take their byproducts!"

Karlstein's lightning-fast actions.

Karlstein's exploding charisma.

Matching this, there was only attack, attack, and expansion.

Karlstein Babylon, Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

His majesty, which couldn't be hidden even by a low-grade Avatar, shook World.

"Galactic! Galactic! Galactic! Galactic!"

"Galactic! Galactic! Galactic! Galactic!"

"For the great Galactic Empire!"

A great flame burned in everyone's hearts.

Thus, fighting spirit and momentum continued, seemingly unable to die down.

It was the scene of an endlessly rising morale of an army.

"Kill!!"

"For the Galactic Empire!"

"Bow down!!"

[D-Damn insects!]

"2nd Silo Charging complete."

"Fire main cannon."

[Uwaaaaak!]

It was completely opposite to their previous defensive stance against Kaiju waves.

Even those directly participating in the battlefield felt a thrill.

Thus, madness was added to madness.

"Sweep them all away!"

Even so, Karlstein didn't lose sight of priorities.

"The silver spring is Priority 0. If discovered, occupy it with top priority."

Silver spring water wasn't only found in Karlstein's occupied territory. The Galactic Empire succeeded in securing two additional springs on top of that.

"It’s too far away? Then multi-task!"

With near-infinite resources pouring in from the Galactic Empire, and human resources flooding in from Murim and Planet Debra, their expansion was terrifying.

"The next Priority 1 is those Sephiroth bastards. Hunt them down!"

Attack. Hunt. Attack. Expand. Hunt. And attack.

[Dodge!]

[These bastards... they're crazy!]

"Galactic! Galactic! Galactic! Galactic!"

[Aaaak!]

[Where's the support?!]

[The higher-ups told us to retreat. Losing the Sacred Relic last time was a big mistake.]

[Ugh!]

However, even for Virdel, there were many formidable opponents.

"Kuhuk!"

[You're quite good for a human.]

[Impudent thing.]

[You keep climbing higher when we show mercy.]

[You think you can face all of us alone?]

But…

"Lady Virdel. May I lend a hand?"

Swoosh-

[How dare you!]

[Who are you!]

An old man wearing a deep bamboo hat, dressed in martial attire with a single sword.

"Well. Do we need words between us?"

Boom- Slash-

[Hmm..]

"Master Wuji! It would be a shame to leave us out!"

[Where is this place? Summoner.]

[There are monsters... everywhere.]

[Still, I don't feel the restrictions of the world.]

A Spirit Summoner who commands Spirit Kings and an Elf Archmage with long ears.

"The 32nd Holy Sword's owner, Hero Versya, reporting for duty!"

"Ruler of Niflheim, King of Hell Mephir."

"I am Raul, the Demon King of Wisdom."

The Transcendents from the Community had joined the battle.

Tap tap.

"Is this the place called World?"

"Ungh! Where on earth is this place for the air to be so heavy?"

The Lich King and High Elf.

Of course, the two with the lowest combat power among the volunteers were selected for the position of ‘researchers’.

Still, they were all individuals who had reached the peak in their own worlds.

Naturally, there was also a battle of nerves between them.

"A hero... In our world, they all died by my hand."

"Hoho. Such sorcery won't work on me."

"Hahah. It seems it will not be boring at least."

"Can you handle a Spirit King?"

"Tap tap. Magic is truth...."

"Lich King, you stay out of this."

They could have been difficult to control due to their arrogance.

However, first due to World's ominous environment..

"Hmm. It feels like my Inner Qi is frozen."

"Even the Spirit Kings seem to have trouble using their power...."

"Why is my body like this?"

"Have they already adapted to this environment?"

Then, after facing the Oradge, they all lost their words.

When they first arrived in World, they all showed stiff appearances.

"Hm? What's wrong? Relax and enjoy yourselves. Just make sure to do your assigned tasks properly."

"Hoh...."

"Hahaha. The world is vast indeed."

"Just how...."

"It doesn't even seem to be his main body...."

"It seems that besides us, no one else can perceive his essence."

Insane. Is that monster really the Oradge?

The Transcendents who could glimpse even a little of the Oradge's origin kept their mouths firmly shut.

Haha.

In the end, their choice resulted in…

"I'd like to request an interview."

"Please, your generosity...."

"I have something to consult about!"

"Just a moment of your time!!"

Everyone wanting to talk with the Oradge.

"Hm. Work first. Interviews later."

They were flatly rejected.

But all their expressions weren't dissatisfied.

"I've already read your reasons for applying. Those who work hard will get good results."

At the Oradge's relaxed gaze…

"Ooh!"

"Indeed...."

"A clue to prevent world destruction...."

"I will do my best with my meager abilities!"

"You promised, okay?"

Will welled up in everyone's eyes.

"Lady Virdel! We shall show you that we are not to be underestimated!"

"Leave this to me!!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

"Kill them!!"

"Ugh! It's not easy!"

"So are you going to give up here?"

"No way! For the sake of those waiting for me! I cannot give up!"

"This is so much fun! Huhaha!"

They showed fighting spirit bordering on madness.
