RUST -1050
Kim Yang’s Royal Guard and U+ Unit walked along Singapore’s roads, which were baked as crispy as cookies.
Kwajik- Kwaduk-
“Okay.”
The new napalm, which reaches temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, melts asphalt and burns reinforced concrete. Add the shock of a cute little nuclear grenade to that, and all that’s left of the meat-eating jungle and the blizzard is a pile of ash.
“All the entrances to the underground have melted.”
“This building also burned down.”
Kim Yang’s brow furrowed. It was good that the carnivorous plants were burned to a crisp, but the buildings were also reduced to rubble.
“How about the underground arcade?”
“It’s dangerous there too.”
The space leading to the underground arcade was also full of holes like cheese, made of H-beam structures that had melted from the high temperature and crumbled building materials.
The carnivorous plant was so tough that I had to go down to get to the roots. But the stairs and elevator were ruined.
It would have been nice to be able to use exosuits or core armor, but the simulations showed that the root-only carnivores would maintain a biological EMP field, so the EMP field did not really go away.
“Go down the repel.”
“I will prepare.”
That’s why Kim Yang and his bodyguards only wore special combat uniforms without core armor.
“Spray the herbicide first.”
“ancient.”
“There. Sprinkle it down there.”
When we sprayed an herbicide that reacts to carnivorous plants into the underground space, the branches and leaves that had been hiding in the ash began to squirm and dry up.
“Lying in ambush in the ashes.”
“Sprinkle generously near the wreckage!”
“Secure some space to get down first.”
It was Kim Yang and his bodyguards who went down with a special herbicide and a fungus that had been reconfigured to eat the roots of carnivorous plants.
‘Is it really necessary to go down there in person? Why can’t we just produce enough herbicide and spray it?’
Hee-yeon watched Kim Yang’s conducting with wonder.
“Why? Don’t you want to go down?”
“······.”
“Tell the guys on the other side to spray weed killer first and then go down. If they go down at the same time, their power will be dispersed.”
Hee-yeon nodded and relayed orders to the U+ unit through the link. At the same time, the punitive force began to advance.
The herbicide was a herbicide, but since they were coming in from all sides, the resistance from the branches and leaves was minimal. As Kim Yang had expected, their power was dispersed.
“Flamethrower!”
Hurrrrrurr
Burning branches and leaves blocked the path of the guards until the very end.
“Don’t come any closer.”
“Cut off the thick branches first. Begin concentrated fire.”
The royal guard moved precisely under Kim Yang’s command. The unit connected to U+ also simultaneously broke through the carnivorous plant’s underground defense line using the same method.
“Put on mask. Connect the purifier.”
“Spray the weed killer.”
“Look at the floor over there.”
“If you break it, you should spray weed killer. What’s the point?”
Hee-yeon quietly watched Kim Yang’s command. It was as if she was looking at a extinguished fire again. The transplanted memories and current experiences began to melt together.
The punk-like girl was good at leading. She even responded well. It felt like I was learning, but it was strange because I felt like I was going in on the losing end.
“Why? What are you looking at like that?”
“······.”
Heeyeon slowly turned her head.
“Keep nagging them so the other kids don’t make mistakes.”
“···okay.”
The Malayan direction was also under attack by Naruz. As it was a larger carnivore forest than the Singapore direction, the bombing and shelling continued for a long time.
[Because the width is narrow. I think it will work with just shelling?]
[It’s impossible to do it with just shelling.]
[Requesting support for crow bombing.]
[The third bombing of the Crow Bombardment Squadron begins.]
[Tell him to hit you at least 5 more times.]
Unlike Singapore, which had a narrow scope and dug underground into the city, Malaysia was easy to attack because it was exposed to the outside like a border.
Hurrrurruk-
As the flesh-eating jungle writhe in flames, belching long plumes of black smoke, Naruzu continued to request additional bombardment and airstrikes.
[This is so cool.]
[They say Singapore is a tough place.]
[Where is Oraburning?]
[I heard your Majesty is currently in charge of the Indonesian military headquarters?]
[The lights are all off here and we need to clean up, so should we go?]
[Where? Oraburning?]
[Come-come-come-]
[Burning-Burning-Burning-]
[Let’s gooooooo-]
Let’s set it on fire! Let’s burn it all!
[Everyone calm down. We need to do what we’re assigned to do.]
[Yeah. If I finish here quickly and go, I guess it’ll be a punishment to just go.]
[You decided to earn a vacation as a reward for your achievements.]
The excited Naruzu calmed down. Anyway, there was an Indonesian military headquarters near the jungle over there, so the people who were clearing out there might be able to meet Oraburning.
[Okay. Let’s draw. Let’s start with drawing.]
[The kids who were chosen this time are going to give in next time?]
[If you try to push it in twice like last time, it will get buried.]
[A woman with a conscience should be eliminated.]
As Maruzu leisurely began to draw lots amid the bombing and shelling, Maruzu, who was standing guard, announced an emergency.
[Emergency! These bitches are moving to avoid the bombing!]
The burning jungle was moving little by little.
[It’s the root. The root is moving!]
[Stop that!]
[how?]
[Set fire to the direction of movement!]
[Spray napalm and create a wall of fire!]
[Herbicide!]
[Let’s moisten the ground with herbicide.]
The roots of the carnivorous plant began to move.

(Kioooooooooooo-)
The Indonesian special forces collapsed, their legs loosened by the psychic wave that erupted from the mass of carnivorous plants.
Since the entire force was comprised of power users and cannibals, they were resistant to the psychic world, but they couldn’t withstand it.
(Squeeze it in there!)
Maru remained calm even as the clump of plants screamed as if they were tearing apart his brain. He simply began wrapping the clump of plants around himself as if he were wrapping food in a garden of death.
‘Is it a root?’
The clump of plants resembled long kudzu roots. As the vines and blades of grass from the Garden of Death coiled, cut, and dug inward, a black sap oozed out.
A pungent smell that could not be called plant sap. The cannibals were entranced by the poisonous broth as if it were perfume.
Among the Indonesian special forces, the cannibals were still unconscious and headed towards the roots oozing black sap.
‘Are you tempting a cannibal?’
At first, I thought only cannibals were being tempted, but it seemed that the cannibals with sensitive senses reacted first, and those with awakened abilities were also gradually being drawn to the ooze.
‘what?’
It’s not that the Garden of Death can’t absorb the life of carnivorous plants. It’s just that it’s much slower than when it absorbs animals.
There wasn’t really a problem if you gave up on harvesting life and just chose to tear it apart with physical force.
‘Let’s just wait and see.’
So Maru watched as the roots of the carnivorous plant attracted cannibals and power users. He had to see what was happening so he could respond.
Churiq-
As the cannibal, drawn by the black sap, approached the huge mass that resembled a kudzu root, the fine roots as thick as an arm wrapped around the cannibal.
It was a swift movement, like a vine of death. The small roots began to squeeze the cannibal. Crack- The bones were crushed whole, and blood flowed out from the cannibal’s mouth, nose, and ears.
The dark red blood flowing out was instantly absorbed as soon as it touched the roots. The absorption of the cannibal’s body fluids was effective, as the clump of plants blocking the Garden of Death shook violently.
‘Carnivorous plants lure cannibals to eat them?’
This was good news. If it wasn’t just people that ate people, but cannibals as well, then this could be used.
‘Can we grow these like the vines on the outside walls of Detroit?’
Maru, who had been watching the roots writhing after eating the cannibal, shook his head.
Unlike the vines, these were conscious and formed a colony. They even had a biological EMP field. So the moment they lost control, the entire city would become a feeding trough.
‘It’s right to clean up.’
Maru pulled out the shadow rats from the Garden of Death, which had entered a power struggle. Thousands, then tens of thousands, of them rushed towards the coiled flesh-eating root in an instant.
Each- each- each- each-
The hard shell was eaten away in an instant, and a thick liquid poured out, but the shadow rat was not a living being. Death, shaped like a rat, continued to eat the roots of the carnivorous plant.
(Keeeeeeeeeeeeee—)
Woojijik-
The clump of roots that had been writhing desperately twisted and tore off their own trunks and fled into the ground. And a swarm of shadowy rats poured into the hollow floor.
The jungle, just a hundred meters away, was burning fiercely after being bombed by crows and bombarded by airships. Sparks flying in the wind began to fly here and there to the command building.
Hurrrurruk-
The commander, who had lost his entire special forces unit right before his eyes, looked at a loss. He had expected Vladimir Kalin to come.
So, we set up our headquarters here and laid out multiple traps. Because it was a bio-EMP field area, we couldn’t use the latest weapons that the Holy Kingdom was proud of.
There was a special force of people with powers and cannibals, and even support from carnivorous plants. As if that wasn’t enough, at the end, they even mobilized the roots, the core of the carnivorous plants.
But this is the result. In the end, the carnivorous plants even ate the special forces that were on the same side.
How did it end up like this?
Carnivorous plants were rational.
If you give them a sacrifice, they will become a defensive wall.
If you attack Vladimir Kalin, I will spread them further.
It all became meaningless.
The command center was destroyed.
Outside the window, a burning carnivore jungle was visible.
If the defense line collapses, what will happen to the Indonesians who have been transferred to Malaysia so far?
The commander of the 1st Corps, who had been struck down by the sudden mental wave fired by the carnivorous plant, raised his head and glared at the floor. His eyes looked lifeless.
“Was all the information spread so far false?”
Footage taken in Korea. It wasn’t like this in the footage where they were attacking armed refugees. The ability to create black ground was clearly limited.
Although it had physical power, it was not that large, and even though it spread widely, it could not kill the plants. But what about now?
It was strong enough to tear apart a mighty carnivore plant and had enough physical strength to twist entire buildings.
The same goes for the Shadow Rats. When they appeared on Korean TV, they were just a bunch of Shadow Rats doing reconnaissance or something. At best, they could just dismantle armed refugee units.
But now, here, it was a powerful biological weapon that could gnaw at the roots of carnivorous plants. It was not affected by the fluids that lured the creatures, and it was not shaken by the mental waves that the colony created.
It was the same with Vladimir Kalin. If I had known he was this kind of guy, I would have negotiated from the beginning.
“Did you do this on purpose to destroy Indonesia?”
Maru looked down at the 1st Corps commander who was spouting nonsense.
It was as if they were the victims.
If you lose a war, do you become a victim?
Maru’s gaze turned cold at that disgusting attitude. At Maru’s cold gaze, the commander twisted the corners of his mouth as if his thoughts were correct.
“I see. Okay.”
“······.”
“It was done to annihilate us, who were a thorn in their side in taking over Southeast Asia.”
“······.”
Hwarururuk – The flames on the roof began to spread to the sides.
“I don’t know about you… I just wanted to protect my people! I just wanted to live!”
A series of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis devastated cities and towns along the coast.
It wasn’t just along the coastline. The aftermath of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes began to turn the entire Indonesian territory into a gigantic graveyard.
Water that is undrinkable.
Air that cannot be breathed.
And the land where everything died.
To survive, we had to go out onto land.
No matter how big the island was, it was dangerous.
Most of the islands in Indonesia are surrounded by volcanoes, and even those without volcanoes are affected by volcanoes and earthquakes.
“They were not worthy of living in a safe place!”
Those who had land where they could live safely were divided into the South and the North and began to bleed. Looking at the countries that were dipping their feet into the water, saying they would devour the flesh and blood of war, the new Indonesian government and military thought.
They say that a safe land is too much for them. It is right for the Indonesian people, who are fighting every day to survive, to go up to the mainland.
All preparations were perfect. We had access to sinkhole monsters and carnivorous plants, and we had successfully conquered Singapore and Malaysia.
It was a success!
If only the Holy Kingdom had not intervened.
If only this monster hadn’t been in front of me.
“Why did you intervene? Are you blocking our path? Are you planning to kill all 200 million Indonesians?”
Instead of answering, Maru spread out a garden of death in all directions. The command building, where fires began to spread here and there, was covered in a black garden.
The commander shouted with a distorted face as the flames went out in an instant.
“With that much power… why did you just sit there? Couldn’t you have prevented the war from breaking out? Ah- right. You must have done that because you could only rule Southeast Asia if the war broke out.”
Crunch-
Maru placed the commander’s head in a preservation container.

Pogurrururururuk-
The battle report continued with the sound of bubbles rising from the head of the Indonesian 1st Corps commander as the background music.
Kim Yang, his royal guard, Hee-yeon, and the U+ unit were continuing their conquest of the Singapore carnivore plant smoothly. However, it seemed like it would take longer than initially expected.
[The plant years have turned the basement into a mess.]
It was a report by Kim Yang that the underground space of the city had been made into a fortress with roots and branches.
[The roots are running away towards Malaysia!]
The same was true of Naruzu’s report. The speed of the subjugation itself was faster than originally planned, but it seemed like it would take time to finish.
