In the Third World, Bell is tidying up the house and sleeping in bed.

Meanwhile, in the Fourth World, a physical body is reciting the contract document in a tight space whenever pleasure signals hit.

I’m not particularly dissatisfied with what I’m doing now, but there’s one thing that’s unfortunate.

Jeber isn’t researching the harvesting machine anymore.

Instead, he’s figuring out how to deal with enemies using it.

Because, you see, the enemies have already invaded.

The Inspection Bureau sending such a large number of troops means that they’ve already contacted the royal family.

But if the action unit vanishes, the royal family will definitely want to find out what happened, right?

So, the silence after their annihilation for several days indicates that they probably confirmed something in the meantime. In other words, it means they verified that Jeber wiped out the Inspection Bureau.

What’s more, they’re even ramping up their military forces?

If they weren’t fools, they wouldn’t just sit back and let that happen.

It’s a rebellion, after all!

They came to suppress Jeber but couldn’t push him back.

It’s not just that Jeber can quickly produce high-quality soldiers; it’s also because this world hasn’t seen total war, even in an age when machines are properly fueled and functioning.

Yeah.

The professional army is small.

Even if you gather numerous infantry, they disappear with a single wave of a wizard’s hand. Consequently, the army has developed towards enhancing quality.

Some superhumans dominate the battlefield.

The system itself is similar to the faded memories of medieval chivalry. If you replace knights and horses with wizards, it fits pretty well.

The difference from medieval knights is that they’re not just high-ranking soldiers equipped with weapons and steeds.

In this world, every powerful wizard belongs to a clan. Some specialize in fire magic, while others specialize in water magic.

Each clan has its unique spell, and they continue for generations based on that.

In that sense, the wizards of the Inspection Bureau are a peculiar bunch. They are the illegitimate children or abandoned offspring of someone. Those who were pushed out of their clan, those whose clan perished, those who’ve become wizards with mediocre talent, and so on.

They were gathered to catch the old generation of wizards.

And it worked quite effectively.

They thoroughly analyze opponents, strike at weaknesses, and prepare to neutralize strengths before launching a massive attack to deal with them.

Think of them as modernized battle experts.

Thus, the old generation of wizards mostly ended up at their mercy.

While there may be strong wizards, the attackers were thoroughly prepared while their opponents relied solely on their own strength and just charged in.

It’s easy to see which side has a higher win rate, right?

So when the royal family sent people down, declaring a rebellion and calling for wizards from surrounding territories, they were indifferent.

No, they even formed teams to hunt those wizards, so why would they listen to what the royal family has to say?

Thus, if they attacked in coalition all at once, Jeber, who would have been unable to resist properly, would have lost his life.

If you think about it, it’s karma.

Moreover, there’s a surefire strategy against the royal family’s wizards.

Psychic abilities don’t use magic power, so they cannot sense an initial attack at all. Thus, after paralyzing the opponent, they kill them right away.

A strong wizard is handled directly by Jeber, while those haphazard troops brought in as reinforcements are artificial humans sent to deal with him.

Of course, the royal family didn’t sit back and do nothing.

Whether it was because of data sent by the Inspection Bureau, they came prepared with tools to neutralize the artificial humans created using Bardrol, this world’s first harvesting machine.

But Jeber had already dealt with that.

He bred wizards from the Inspection Bureau and mixed them to create suitable artificial humans.

Someone did scream about catching onto that halfway, but in battle, what matters is victory.

If you lose, those cries vanish too.

Thus, as time went on, the odds slowly began to turn in Jeber’s favor.

Originally, if it was a 1:1 scenario, he couldn’t defeat a wizard; however, with his psychic abilities, he paralyzed them. The wizards who survived the encounter all faced unfortunate fates.

They were captured, taken to the lab, and met with their skulls split open as metal needles were injected into their brains.

Memories extracted as they were supposed to be, and their reproductive abilities turned into a stepping stone for new material production.

No, let me correct that. Even the wizards who died also met unfortunate ends.

As long as the heads were intact and they hadn’t been deceased long, they could face similar treatments.

How did I know this?

On the day Jeber became a harvesting machine, someone died when commanded to self-harm and handed over warmth and some memories to me.

However, one type of artificial human was made using that deceased person.

Even Bardrol, the first harvesting machine made in this world, had a similar situation. She definitely got stabbed in the battlefield and died.

So I had forgotten, but Jeber extracted Yasle’s techniques from her memory, acquiring ways to summon gods and demons.

Jeber stabbed Bardrol’s heart to kill her, then processed her corpse.

She absorbed a significant amount of Yasle’s memories and became a powerful wizard harvesting machine here.

Referring to Jeber’s memories, it seems that the memories Bardrol had at that time did not contain Yasle’s memories themselves.

Only the memories she understood based on her own understanding were there. This suggests that my memories aren’t recorded in the brain.

Before I acquired the memories of Daegon and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign in the Second World, I spread Yasle’s memories among harvesting machines, right?

I thought it would overwrite my memories, but it seems that only what was accepted remained in that harvesting machine’s memory.

Ah.

No. I’ve somewhat understood.

If I’m not careful, personality contamination could occur, but up until now, there hasn’t been a single harvesting machine like that.

I suspect it might be related to the light encompassing me, but I’m not sure.

However, one thing I know.

The more a person continues to lead a horrifying life after becoming a harvesting machine, the more they accept the memories I provide.

Just looking at the Third World, no one who became a harvesting machine has left any trace of acquiring Daegon’s or the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s memories.

Those who were unable to leave the Brightshin slums and lived a dark life again, or those who slowly withered away in isolation in Bern City flourished their techniques.

Ah.

And there’s also this.

A harvesting machine that, while delivering goods from afar, was ambushed and obtained Cheonma Martial Art at the brink of death.

There’s an obvious commonality there.

Anyway.

Jeber’s faction grows stronger by the day.

The royal family lacks the military force to deal with Jeber, and the old generation of wizards, which should have been one of the royal family’s strengths, are all just watching.

Honestly, I think I would do the same.

Creating tools to stab you in the back, only to seek help when it gets dangerous?

Who would help?

Moreover, despite suppressing a rebellion, there’s been little damage to the territories.

Yeah.

It’s surprisingly so.

If it were right at the moment the royal family declared war, it would be a different story, but now five days have passed, and the city’s siege has lifted.

No, now it’s not even suppressing a rebellion.

To the citizens living in the city, the king’s army just resembles a strong band of thieves breaking in.

This band of thieves has been protesting outside for a long time; it feels the same.

Moreover, wizards from surrounding territories are also opting to sit back, and the logistics flowing into Jeber’s city are completely unaffected.

The royal family can’t cut that off.

Because if they did, it would create issues with the logistics passing through the city. Then not just this city, but others would also suffer.

Already inconvenienced by the situation, what happens if they cause even worse losses?

The enemies only multiply.

So in this awkward situation, while being able to do nothing, the royal family has been pushed aside.

It’s not that the royal family is weak.

Originally, this city should have been suppressed by now, with Jeber’s head rolled, or at least the city would have been severely damaged.

But the psychic abilities Jeber obtained were too powerful.

Initially targeting the subject meant at least paralysis, with the maximum command being to take their own lives.

But once afflicted, their intelligence drops sharply, rendering them unable to follow complex commands.

Even the same word can yield different effects based on how the receiver interprets it, so choosing the command words carefully is crucial.

The more often you target the same individual, the more dramatically the effect diminishes.

So, when you look only at the effects, it’s a questionable psychic ability.

However, being capable of delivering particularly strong effects to a first-time opponent, and not using magic power at all rendered every known method completely futile was fatal.

In this world, there are also techniques that feel like curses, but regardless of how alien they are, they all use magic power.

So, there’s always a way to counter them.

Just ignore everything.

The powerful opponents are blocked directly by Jeber.

But if he leads in a bunch of mediocre ones, numerous artificial humans come out to attack.

No one fears death; it’s endless regardless of how many you kill.

Even if the royal family devises ways to defeat the existing artificial humans, Jeber synthesizes new specimens in the lab.

He obtained numerous female and male specimens this time, right?

There are countless ways to combine them.

Immoral wizards are powerful.

While Bell in the Third World spends his day, it’s evident the royal family will be defeated.

Instead, I think it’s impressive how biologically feasible this all is.

In fact, no matter how much Jeber is, he couldn’t immediately boost Artificial Humans like this.

Even at the quickest acceleration, it takes almost over two weeks for one to emerge.

If accelerated any faster, it resulted in tumors or bizarre failed products with only bones and muscles. Furthermore, even if completed, they had a lifespan of less than a year.

But voila.

There’s a cheat that blows all those problems away with just one process.

That’s me.

Thus, he pressured the enemies by producing dozens of artificial humans daily.

This is the first time a wizard has utilized my abilities so well.

I hope to continue providing warmth, so I work diligently like a machine.
