RUST -799
The regeneration unit was a unit created by regenerating children with mental and physical problems among newborns adopted from Korea.
A unit that completely reconstructs the body and mind by implanting electronic chips into DNA manipulation technology using RNA and various biotechnology technologies.
When he was in Korea, he played a role in greatly reducing the burden on the Korean military. He was ‘reborn’ so that anyone with a disability could do their part, which caused a lot of controversy in Korea.
‘Awaken to the Divine Kingdom that turns disabilities into weapons of murder instead of curing them.’
‘Regenerating humans? Are humans objects?’
‘The very idea of recycling is violent and inhumane.’
‘I’m so happy to have escaped from the cannibalism, my head is like a flower garden.’
‘What, inhumane? Violent? Just wear a flower in your hair? Is selling human flesh right now humane and non-violent?’
‘So you’re saying that children born with disabilities should just be left with disabilities? That’s crazy. That’s crazy.’
‘Are you saying that it is right to implant chips in people’s heads and genetically engineer them just because they have a disability?’
‘Then. Are you going to kill them? Are you going to slaughter them, eat them, and sell them like the cannibal government planned? Or are you going to raise them yourself?’
In Korea, where many people have an antipathy towards the Holy Kingdom, it caused controversy, but there was no significant backlash in the Holy Kingdom.
This was because there were very few disabled people among the 4 million citizens of the Holy Kingdom, and the atmosphere was positive about the Holy Kingdom’s biotechnology.
‘It’s fortunate, but a little disconcerting.’
‘It was known that Naruzu was a clone troop, wasn’t it?’
‘So that’s it?’
‘There have been many positive responses to the technology in many ways. Naru’s original beauty is an appearance that transcends Eastern and Western boundaries. If you look closely, Naruzu could also be considered a biological weapon. Would you be opposed to it?’
‘······.’
Everyone knew about the thousand-strong Naruzu, and it had already been two years since they had been living together with the AI’s division of labor, talking crows, and shopping wolves.
‘If you look at it that way, crows, wolves, and the field mice and sacred rats currently living near the city are all biological weapons. I don’t think they see them any differently just because they’re part of the regeneration unit.’
The majority of the people of the Holy Kingdom didn’t care whether they had chips implanted in their heads or genetically engineered bodies.
‘It doesn’t seem like that to me.’
‘There’s nothing negative about the technology called the Regeneration Unit, the negative part is the race.’
Despite extensive publicity that the workforce had been brought in from Korea, discrimination against people of color, especially Asians, was deeply entrenched.
‧
Ki-sun, who briefly recalled her conversation with Maru, asked seriously.
[Remember what happened in Toronto and Mississauga? They killed that huge man-eating bear. And they sacrificed Asians to that bear.]
[Yeah. You can’t do that now. There are nearly 300,000 regenerative troops armed with exosuits, so why would they do something so outrageous? If it’s a regenerative force, they’ll follow orders no matter how much trouble you give them.]
[That’s true.]
The chip implanted in your head is not a decoration. It will control your emotions and body well as you command.
[The regeneration unit is the answer now. Deploy the regeneration unit right away.]
As Maru gave the order, the artificial intelligence Diana immediately began moving troops. She gave orders directly through the chips implanted in the brains of the regeneration unit members.
[Movement order given. Black Drake-class airships are required for smooth deployment of the regeneration unit. Is it okay for me to mobilize them?]
Kim Yang’s personal airship, the Black Drake, was currently on standby above the Ant Kingdom at her command. Five other airships of the same size were above the orchard where the problem had occurred.
[Leave one ship here, and mobilize four ships and the transport ship in Detroit.]
[Troop transport begins.]
The AI Diana and the assistant AI of the exosuit were mobilized to operate the regeneration unit. The AI controlled and managed the previously accumulated combat data. In addition, the regeneration unit, which had the unique adaptability of humans, moved like a special force even though it was less than 50 days old.
[The board is spinning and the spider sorcerer is also spinning, so it seems like the Virginia remnants have really dug in. What do you plan to do?]
[You have to grab the exposed tail first.]
Whatever they were planning, we just had to step on them as soon as they got in our way, whether it was a trap or a trap. Maru said, equipping his special core armor.
[They are the ones who have already used a diversionary operation. This diversionary operation could be another diversionary operation, so be on guard. They could disperse our forces and use terrorism as their purpose. In particular, assassination.]
Maybe the goal is to steal technology.
[We are already preparing. Erica, Hood, and PD Ajae have also raised their security level to the highest level.]
[Don’t just watch out for other people, you too.]
Support support support-
A powerful wave of energy emanating from the high-power core shook the space.
‧
In Ki-soon’s view, Maru’s greatest strength was that he acted immediately once he made a decision.
‘Fraudulent beggar.’
The person involved may not think so, but to those on the outside, it was a talent that seemed like fraud itself.
It was truly remarkable that he could make a decision without wasting time, even though not only his own life was at stake, but the lives of millions of people were at stake.
What supported such decisions was a sense of crisis, a sense that, although limited, reacted immediately to threats to life.
Maru was able to avoid the worst situation because he had a sense of crisis, such as a feeling of uneasiness or a rapid heartbeat.
Determination and a sense of avoiding the worst. The combination of these two was more than enough to secure the position of King of the Holy Kingdom.
The information extracted from the spider sorcerer’s brain was a mess, but there was still a trace of the tail. Maru, with his characteristic determination, set out to catch the tail.
So Maru was king.
What would have happened if Maru had not declared independence as the Holy Kingdom? That thought suddenly occurred to Ki-sun.
The Vladislav Tower would have been taken by the federal government or the state of Michigan. Even if they avoided that, the National Guard or the federal army would have tried to forcibly take it, and if they avoided that, Virginia Langley or the Department of Homeland Security would have targeted it.
If it weren’t for the declaration of independence of the Holy Kingdom, I would have had a harder time, getting entangled with various places. The blood and karma I shed without meaning would have piled up and eventually put Maru and everyone else in danger.
Even if it was the end times, who could have made the decision to seize control of the US state of Michigan and declare independence?
Even though I knew it was an opportunity, would I have been able to make that decision if it weren’t for Maru? The same thing happened with the annexation of Canada.
A declaration that Canada, dozens of times larger in terms of territory, had been annexed. If Canada had not been boldly seized at that time, it would have been eaten by cannibals and the Virginia Company.
Ki-soon picked up the phone and laughed.
Marushak.
He is a true hero king.
It was always careless to kill such a hero king. And Ki-sun had no intention of losing his friend in vain.
[Did you attach the guard?]
[An airship carrying the guards follows at a certain distance.]
Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed slightly at Diana’s answer.
‘That’s why it’s awkward.’
When I asked if they had attached the guards, what kind of speech is this, when they say that they are following them? It was not a malfunction, so the AI’s answer was intentional.
[······.]
In any case, if an unexpected event occurred, support could be provided within a few minutes.
As before, Maru hated having the guards or escorts around him recently. He thought that the guards or escorts could actually make him more dangerous.
If you use the killing spirit, it is not a problem to save your own body, but if there is a guard or an escort next to you, you have to be careful not to get caught up in the killing spirit, so it can be more dangerous.
He said that they could just follow them at a distance, but Maru countered that it would be ridiculous if the enemy took the guards and escorts hostage.
[Don’t follow closely. Increase the airship’s altitude.]
Even if there is an enemy, it will be difficult to touch an airship at high altitude.
[The airship’s altitude has been raised to maximum.]
[Connect with General Dan Brown.]
[Contact us via direct line.]
Ki-sun immediately contacted the empire.
[beep—]
[Video call connected.]
[Okay. What’s going on this time?]
In the video, President Den Brown appears to have lost a lot of weight over the past few days.

Wheeeeeeeeing-
Kkieeeeeeing-
The sound of chainsaws and ultrasonic knives cutting through thick conifers echoed through the forest.
[Visibility must be at least 250m to 300m.]
[Everyone, move quickly.]
[You have to pull out the roots before the ground freezes.]
I wanted to just blow it up with a cute nuclear weapon, but it was early winter. It was burdensome to just blow up the trees, which were a great source of heat, without any reason.
Unlike last year, the temperature didn’t suddenly drop to minus 40 or minus 50 degrees. Last year, the weather that was considered warm was below minus 20 degrees.
It was early October and the weather was freezing during the day, and even at night it was close to 0 degrees, but not so much that the ground was frozen.
The nurse who had just finished talking to the queen ant told me the results with a tired expression.
[He said that it was okay to cut down trees for defense. But he was curious about what they were going to do about the fact that if the forest disappears, there will be less food and the nests will be more easily discovered.]
[Is that what I’m doing? That’s the situation I’m curious about right now?]
If the spider bitches come swarming right now, I’m going to shit blood.
As Baekjeong put it, it was ‘a bumper crop of nonsense.’
huh.
[Don’t get in my way. Tell the ant bitches to open the emergency exits. Here and here.]
A map appeared on the nurse’s HUD. The two red dots that Ms. Kim had marked began to blink.
[Make the entrance as strong as possible. It should be wide enough for 2-3 to pass through at the same time.]
[······.]
[Why are you doing this when you’re just starting out?]
[Uh… Isn’t it necessary to receive orders from the queen ant to drill additional entrances and exits?]
[Then go quickly and get permission. No. If you get permission, don’t come here and go straight to the site and work.]
[Huh? Huh? You’re handing over command to me?]
At the nurse’s surprised voice, Ms. Kim responded with a look that said, “What kind of idiot are you talking about?”
[What are you talking about commanding authority for when you’re doing construction? Come to your senses.]
There were twists and turns, but the defensive formation that Kim Yang had in mind was almost complete. A 300m radius around the main entrance to the ant hole became an open field.
[Hey. It’s a spider!]
[2 o’clock! You can see a swarm of spiders!]
A guard from the observation tower shouted loudly.
[Where? 2 o’clock?]
[There’s nothing at 2 o’clock?]
[Where are you talking about?]
[Sky! Sky 2 o’clock!]
Spiders were flying in on woven webs like paragliding.
[What are you just watching? Take aim. Prepare to fire!]
[Prepare for a volley of fire!]
[Fire ready!]
[firing!]
The spiders’ advance was broken with three volleys, but that was only the beginning. They began to persistently demoralize the Holy Kingdom forces.
[They are digging a tunnel and approaching.]
[Their numbers on the ground and in the air are growing without end.]
Before I knew it, the empty space was filled with spiders swarming around. And what Miss Kim chose was the cute nuclear one.
[Eeeeeeeeeee! A nuclear weapon in the front yard? I told you not to use it.]
[When I.]
When you have to write, you have to write. I never said that I wouldn’t write when I had to write.
Kwaaaaang!!!
With one small nuclear blast, a 300m radius was wiped out. Air Force, ground forces, everything. Everything.
[Hey. The spiders keep coming.]
The second wave rushed in, seemingly oblivious to the horrific destruction. And Kim loved that challenge.
A small mushroom cloud rose and became a sea of fire again.
Is this too easy?
I hope it continues like this.
As Ms. Kim smiled broadly, pheromones surged from inside the nest.
Beep beep beep-
A high-pitched sound came on from the pheromone interpreter the nurse was holding.
(Structure. Help. Request. Save me. Queen. Attacked.)
