Rust [RUST] – Episode 1054

The cannibals heading to the furthest shelter felt somewhat anxious. They should have been in progress by now. But all they heard was a loud noise.

Kwaaaaaaaang-

The end of the fireworks that fell vertically from the sky was a huge explosion. Since a meteor can’t fall vertically, it must have been an attack.

“That direction is···.”

“It’s falling again.”

It was in the direction of the high school and university. Is there a country that can attack like the staff of God like this?

“It is the Holy Kingdom.”

“······.”

It may not be impossible for the Empire or Korea, but there was no reason for them to do this.

That would mean it is the Holy Kingdom.

“You’re crazy.”

“Are you saying that you’re going to blow away all the refugees as well?”

The decision to use the refugees was made to grow carnivorous plants, but at the same time, it was calculated that they would not be attacked.

But you just blew it all away as if you didn’t even care about that.

“The news that Bernard Green has fallen from power is true.”

“Surely if he was there he wouldn’t have done it that way.”

“It is said that the negotiations with the Shinsegae forces in Kyushu, Japan were also conducted by Green Gisun.”

“So that attack was ordered by Vladimir Kalin?”

It meant that the merciless King of the Holy Kingdom had personally ordered the attack.

“It’s dangerous.”

“Is it difficult to contact Bernard Green?”

“What do you do with someone who has been disqualified?”

“Because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to shake it from the inside.”

“By the time we get a response, the decision will be made.”

“······.”

Even cannibals feared Maru.

If you don’t fear those who can fight the legions alone, what do you have to fear?

Singapore was a small country. If they had just created a garden of death by eliminating armed refugees, it would have been destroyed in a day or two.

The cannibals’ expressions darkened. The coup d’état was resolved quickly, but things started to go wrong from the start. The important thing right away was what to do.

Both groups were instantly defeated, should we continue?

“How did you know we were moving?”

“You were watching.”

A cannibal raised his head and looked up at the dark sky. The dawn before the sun had risen yet caught his eyes.

It was clear that what were called communications airships were actually military satellites. The communications airships of the Holy Kingdom and the Empire were dominating the wireless communications market in Southeast Asia.

If the Holy Kingdom’s airships had attack capabilities, the Empire’s would have as well. If Emperor Leon Bonard had not died, the Southeast Asian War would have been in the Empire’s hands.

“······.”

“······.”

They were cannibals who somehow made my heart suffocate.

“Damn it. Tell everyone to disperse. Move as far underground as possible.”

“The moment you go underground, I’ll bury you alive.”

“Do you think about civilian casualties?”

“Just shoot them and let them see what the Holy Kingdom guys are doing.”

“Everyone calm down and let’s go ahead with the plan—.”

The one who had shouted to keep going was unable to continue speaking. This was because the headless torso ran a few steps and then fell over.

“Shit!!!”

“It’s Vladimir Kalin!”

The curses and screams turned into a final will. The cannibal, cut horizontally and vertically, spilled out its entrails and blood.

Taking advantage of the gap, the cannibal took out the container he was carrying on his back and threw it towards the sea of ​​blood. With a loud crash, the carnivorous plant that had spread out on the ground began to grow rapidly as it fed on the cannibal’s blood and flesh.

Clink clink clink-

Steel-like roots burrowed into the paved roads, and the carnivorous plant spread like a gnaw through civilization.

The cannibal who broke the container cried out in a voice full of resentment.

“Die-”

Crackle- The decapitated man-eater kicked his torso and head away, throwing them far away. The carnivorous plant stretched its branches towards the corpse as if trying to chase it away.

Crunch- crunch-

In an instant, the cannibals who were running away opened their mouths at the sight of one side of the jungle being reduced to nothing but stumps. Maru, who had thrown a dagger at their heads, disappeared into the darkness.

“Oh my god-”

“I–”

The momentary glance back was the last they saw, as the dagger that had pierced through the skull had torn apart the cannibal’s brain and suppressed its regenerative powers.

(Keeeeeeeeeeeeee—–)

A napalm grenade blasted out of the shadows between the writhing carnivorous plants. A loud bang and flames began to burn the branches and leaves that were just starting to grow.

(Keeeeeeeeeeeeee—–)

Tung- ting-

As the rippling space moved, napalm grenades exploded, turning the area into an inferno.

[Start intercepting the cannibals— chijijik–]

Even in that terrible fire pit, the carnivorous plants spread their roots and spread them. As the roots dug into the ground and intertwined with each other to form colonies, the biological EMP field began to activate.

[Chijijijik- chijiji—-]

As communication with the assistant AI was cut off, Maru’s cold gaze turned across the flames. It wasn’t just the roots of the carnivorous plant that were moving.

A scene where a carnivorous plant desperately tries to expand its territory while avoiding the blazing fire. Maru aims his Nuclipse at the plant as it desperately tries to escape from the fire.

Phew–

Some unknown force.

divinity.

How to use it.

I’m not used to it yet though.

Maru concentrated his mind.

A sensation of something unknown coursing through the blood vessels and nerves.

Maru swung the New Clips with that same feeling.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A black solid line was drawn like a horizon.

The streetlight in front was cut off.

Then the blazing fire was cut down and the branches swaying in the flames were snapped.

(Keeeeeeeeeeee——)

It started to cut, sever, and cut as if an invisible cutter had passed over it.

Crackle- crunch- creak-

The flesh-eating jungle that had been struggling to pieces was now nothing but stumps. And behind them, the Garden of Death began to tear them apart.

Chijijik-

The Garden of Death unfolded and the natural release of hiding was broadcast live throughout Southeast Asia.

The high-altitude bombing of the stratospheric airship demonstrated overwhelming power. In addition, the power of King Maru of the Holy Kingdom was once again brought to the fore.

“Is that possible?”

“I know someone with this ability, but they said it was out of standard.”

“That’s just a skill?”

“Oh my god. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Really.”

It was because the broadcast was live that we couldn’t even talk about CG (Computer Graphics). The broadcasting station’s comment window started to overflow in an instant.

(I actually saw that scene and it was crazy.)

(There was a fight near my house, and when I heard the noise, all the dogs peed on me, but they didn’t even whine, let alone wag their tails.)

(The broadcast didn’t even capture 1% of the grim feeling.)

(I totally agree with this. I thought I was going to have a heart attack even though I was watching it from afar on Zoom.)

(I didn’t think I was going to have a heart attack, I really thought I was going to have a heart attack and die.)

(I also took a picture with zoom. I suddenly felt dizzy and thought I was going to faint.)

(It’s ridiculous. I’m dying just looking at it?)

(You guys are funny. Do you believe that?)

(evidence.)

(I also took a video.)

The eyewitness testimony was unreliable, but there was no way to disbelieve the camera footage that several people had uploaded as evidence.

(They say that people with abilities are new humans, but aren’t those just superpowers?)

(New humans are cannibals and those with abilities are those with abilities.)

(They say the King of the Holy Kingdom is a divine being. I guess it’s true.)

(What about a divine being? If he were a real god, would he be wielding a sword?)

Regardless of public opinion, the announcement of the Holy Kingdom continued.

[A coup took place in Singapore last night.]

It is revealed that the Singapore government has collapsed and cannibals have staged a coup, spreading carnivorous plants everywhere.

[The cannibals tried to grow man-eating plants using the people in the shelter as sacrifices···.]

It was explained that a strong response was taken to prevent the spread of carnivorous plants and to block the biological terrorism of the cannibals who staged the coup.

The announcement of the Holy Kingdom stirred excitement not only in Singapore but throughout Southeast Asia.

“If they had revealed such a new weapon, wouldn’t it have been possible to prevent a useless war?”

“You say that you don’t care whether a war breaks out or not, and that’s to prevent biological terrorism?” “There are probably more people who die from war than from biological terrorism.”

“A coup d’état occurred in Singapore in the first place, so why did the Holy Kingdom intervene?”

“Isn’t this the excuse that imperialists used in the past when they created colonies?”

“That’s right. You didn’t care about the Southeast Asian war because it didn’t make any money, right?”

“They must have put honey on it because they’re immediately cracking down on the coup in Singapore.”

“There’s a lot of gold in Singapore. The rich people there have a lot of cash, but they also have a lot of gold and jewels.”

“That seems to be the case. The Holy Kingdom currency contains precious metals, right? If you were to rob the rich of Singapore, wouldn’t there be an abundance of precious metals?”

There were only estimates of how much gold Singapore’s rich people were storing. But the explanation from the Holy Kingdom was completely different from what they had expected.

[All the cannibals who staged the coup were killed.]

[Singapore will now hold elections to elect a new government.]

[The assets of Singapore citizens will be protected by the newly elected Singapore government···.]

[Until a new government is formed, the Holy Kingdom will continue to eradicate the roots of flesh eating.]

It was an announcement that the Singapore government would not touch gold bullion or precious metals held by the rich.

‘Then why the hell is it all so crazy in Singapore?’

It wasn’t like we were trying to take over Singapore.

It wasn’t even about targeting the rich people’s precious metals.

So, is it really because of the carnivorous plants and cannibals that they intervened?

‘What’s the benefit of that?’

no way···.

Are you really saying that carnivorous plants and cannibals are dangerous and that you took action?

Are you really serious about the safety and future of humanity?

Is that really all?

It was an unbelievable story.

‘Okay, they’ll make the announcement like that and then tear it all down afterwards.’

One-sided announcements continued, whether Southeast Asians believed them or not.

[Carnivorous plants are unconditionally exterminated. We are currently attacking the carnivorous plants spread across Malaysia, and have annihilated the Indonesian 1st Army Corps that used carnivorous plants.]

The content was that the Holy Kingdom would directly discipline any country that wanted to use carnivorous plants.

The same goes for the sinkhole monster. The warning continued that if you try to weaponize the sinkhole containing the immortal monster, the purge of the Holy Kingdom will begin.

Those in power who try to exploit carnivorous plants and sinkholes will definitely be killed.

It was a strong warning that they would not care even if civilians were involved in the process.

Civilian casualties?

If I don’t catch the carnivorous plant and the sinkhole monster, I’ll end up being sacrificed anyway?

The countries of Southeast Asia were turned upside down by the cold-hearted announcement from the Holy Kingdom.

“Are you saying you’re going to attack us?”

“You said you wouldn’t intervene in the war….”

There were already countries that used sinkhole monsters to attack and defend, and there were also countries that used special forces using cannibals.

However, there was no country that was willing to fight the Holy Kingdom.

It was still a close battle, and it was obvious that if the Holy Kingdom raised its hand to either side, the war would be decided on its own.

“Let’s leave the sinkhole area alone.”

“The cannibal unit is similar to those with awakened physical abilities, so be careful not to get caught.”

The war did not stop, but civilian casualties were greatly reduced as the activities of sinkhole monsters and cannibal special forces decreased.

Maybe that’s why something tickling Maru’s mind started to increase a little more.

[Savior]

[thank you.]

The one who sends gratitude and faith

[My brother died because of you.]

[I hate you. I will definitely get revenge.]

They were people who hated and cursed.

[Is it because the divinity has become stronger?]

“If you don’t pay attention, you won’t feel it. But it’s still a bit uncomfortable.”

[Even if it’s true that faith can send you psychic waves, isn’t it a bit strange that even those who hate you can send psychic waves to you?]

[Then aren’t they cannibals?]

“Cannibal?”

[Yes. The cannibal’s mental wave was read because of the divinity.]

Maru and Gisun were lost in thought about Kim Yang’s hypothesis.

[It’s certainly not an impossible story.]

Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed even further.

[And if it was created because of divinity, then couldn’t this side send it to the other side?]

Miss Kim tilted her head.

[Wouldn’t it be great if religious people could read the spiritual prayers and respond to them with spiritual answers?]

If that’s possible, a communication network like U+ link will be created that connects Heeyeon to the divine.

Yeah, good.

Isn’t it the same with curses?

If a cannibal curses, you’ll know there’s a cannibal. It’ll also be effective in catching it.

Isn’t it?

Maru nodded at Kim Yang’s gaze.

“First of all… Let’s check whether the person sending the hateful mental wave is a cannibal.”
