Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 182

Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Episode 182

Forgery of official documents (2)

“I see······. That must have been true. It’s times like these that the weak suffer the most.”

Buendia nodded quietly.

I had just told him about the situation on Earth.

Won the Hierarchy Brawl held at the Dimensional Expo.

As compensation, the level of the interdimensional invaders who will enter Earth has been set to 6th level or lower.

Since Barnaul's plan to massacre the Earthlings was also stopped, it was common sense that the situation on Earth should have improved.

But in reality, that wasn't the case.

Because Earths that cooperated with other dimensions began to gain power, especially those with strong aggressive tendencies.

And as always, the Chamber of Commerce was involved in all this.

“Since the business plan we were working on has fallen through, we’re going to have to find a new direction for our profit model. Since we can’t lift the hierarchy restrictions for the time being… we have no choice but to help the residents here grow.”

Because Earthlings could grow infinitely, regardless of hierarchy restrictions.

The Chamber of Commerce was causing conflict on Earth by calling in powerful beings from other dimensions and acting as intermediaries for Awakened beings who had the qualities of invaders.

and······.

“They say that the Awakened ones kill each other directly and steal their dimensional accounts, and that they use civilians as human sacrifices.”

“That must have been the case. There are countless types of dimensional races that exist in multiple dimensions······. There are plenty of guys who are more obsessed with stealing lives than with magic stones.”

The biggest victims were the powerless, unawakened ones.

If there had been at least some sort of hierarchy, they might have been able to resist the magic of human sacrifice, but there was no way they would have had any hierarchy since they hadn't even awakened.

That's why I wanted to spread the application for hierarchy on Earth, and that's why I came to Buendia.

Buendia nodded as he looked at the application form I handed him.

“I see, this isn’t a small amount. The 7th rank condition is even more so······.”

The 8th level requirement is 1,000 magic stones.

The 7th level requirement is to become the representative of an organization with more than 50,000 members.

There is no way that ordinary non-awakened people could meet these conditions.

“I once thought about forging an application for a hierarchy. But after I found out that it would cost ten thousand magic stones to draw a bypass circuit on the application, I stopped thinking about it. It would be a waste of time. But······.”

Buendia looked around.

A huge warehouse where goods are stacked up one by one.

Because any product loaded here could be duplicated.

“If it were up to me now, I’d probably burst. I’d just have to replicate it infinitely.”

"oh······!"

He burst into a hearty laugh, as if he was satisfied.

This means that we can forge an application for a hierarchy and change it to our liking.

Buendia immediately unfolded the application form for the 8th rank and pointed to a sentence on it.

“But the condition itself must be satisfied. That’s the basic format of this document. So······. How about changing it like this?”

Buendia wrapped his fingertips in black magic and drew a diagonal line over the application form.

Then he began to write new conditions on the application form in Marquez's order language.

Condition: [No killing.]

※ The target of killing is limited to Earthlings.

※ If you kill after gaining rank, the rank you have been granted will be revoked.

Jiiing.

When he took out the magic stone and shined it on it, the spell language he had written down was automatically translated.

And I could immediately see Buendia's intentions.

'I see, if this is it······.'

The application for a hierarchy may fall into the hands of enemies.

In other words, it could end up strengthening the power of the invaders.

But if there was a 'no killing' clause, it would prevent the application from becoming a resource for them, and at the same time prevent those who gained rank from becoming further invaders.

“This should be enough for the 8th tier······. For the 7th tier, I’ll change the conditions to ‘no killing’ and pay 1,000 magic stones. That way, the conditions and rewards will be balanced.”

Even if it was called Buendia, it was not something that could be changed in any way.

Because the application for hierarchy could only be effective when the conditions and rewards were balanced.

Buendia put the 8th and 7th rank applications in his pocket, saying he could finish the forgery in a day or two.

but······.

They only gave me the 6th and 5th level applications back.

“It’s a shame······. These can’t be manipulated.”

The 6th level application is submitted to the European headquarters facility,

The 5th-tier application form was printed from the dimensional headquarters facility belonging to Cheonkong Island.

Applications requiring each to have 100 affiliated entities and at least 10 colonies.

I also had no intention of achieving the 5th rank condition, so I was still stuck at 6th rank.

“It’s a bit tricky up to the 7th or 8th level, but you just need to dismantle the magical circuits contained in the documents… From the 6th level application, it seems to be connected to an external ‘dimensional law’. It seems like it can’t be changed unless you modify the original text of the linked constitution.”

“Dimensional law…? What is that?”

“There’s a place called the Dimensional Court. It’s where the Chamber of Commerce and Industry establishes dimensional laws with ‘Faust’, one of the higher dimensions. Its purpose is to capture people and turn them into economic criminals and lock them up. The original version of the Constitution is stored in the library of this court, and from here on out, the 6th-level application forms are made to correspond to the original version of the Constitution and grant it a level. Even if you arbitrarily modify the content here… the original version of the Constitution will determine that the content is forged and nullify the effect.”

“Oh, my······.”

This means that there is currently no way to forge levels 5 and 6.

Moreover, the problem did not end there.

“Nana Marquez, the same goes for your friends in the concentration camp. ‘Deprivation of hierarchy’ isn’t something that can be fixed by modifying the application here.”

Deprivation of hierarchy.

As we have seen, Marques's warlocks had no hierarchy.

At one time, there was an attempt to grant Aureol a rank by using an application······.

'······It just ended with the magic stone flying away.'

This was also an influence of the 'Dimensional Court' that Buendia talked about.

He explained that the Chamber of Commerce had "stripped" Buendia and the prisoners of their rank in the court, and had taken the measure of "stripping" Marquez of his rank throughout the entire court.

Suddenly, I remembered what the Angel of Florence, Adriel, had said when it was discovered that I was the owner of Toton Investment.

'You said you would bring me to dimensional trial······.'

I'm sure he's talking about that dimensional court.

If he had been captured, he would have been stripped of all the ranks he had built up, had his awakening abilities suppressed, and been locked up in a concentration camp, sharing meals with Buendia.

But this time, I was starting to feel like I wanted to appear in court voluntarily.

“That original copy of the Constitution······. Is it something you can edit?”

“If only I could touch it directly······. Are you really planning on breaking into the court library?”

I nodded.

Buendia, the warlocks, and the prisoners were important forces to me as well.

In order to prepare for a bigger fight, it was necessary to give them a hierarchy.

It was important to me too.

A situation where one is stopped at the threshold of the 5th tier.

In order to circumvent the ridiculous requirement of 10 colonial dimensions, the constitution in the library had to be immediately revised.

“Is it possible?”

“The Dimensional Court is managed by the Faust guys. They specialize in dealing with laws and contracts… They’re famous for placing curse contracts on security systems. Not only are there security forces swarming around, but there’s also a three-headed dog guarding the entrance to the library that’s said to be a symbol of the three types of laws or something… Either way, it won’t be easy.”

Maybe it's because I've been there myself.

Buendia remembered the courtroom scene in considerable detail.

“I can somehow remove the curse on the security system. Even if I could, it would all be conditional based on the magic circuit. However, it would be difficult to join the fight because of the work of removing the curse. You or someone else will have to break through the security forces and take care of the three-headed dog.”

It was a difficult condition in many ways.

Of course, you have to break through the security forces by force,

The entrance was guarded by a three-headed dog that was said to tear apart even the hierarchy.

“Then perhaps······.”

He even thought about putting the entire court into subspace, but Buendia shook his head.

“The laws Faust devised are effective based on established space-time coordinates. If the court or library were to suddenly disappear entirely… the provisions currently applied to multiple dimensions would be fixed as they are now. That would actually be a good thing for the Chamber of Commerce.”

“In the end, we have no choice but to find our way in somehow.”

Buendia urged that the number should not exceed five at most.

The more intruders there are, the more the curse of the security system is multiplied.

Therefore, his opinion was that rather than invading with mediocre resources, we should invade with a solid force.

It was confirmed for me, Buendia, and Aurel.

I was truly the best attacker, and I needed another skilled warlock to dismantle the court's security system as quickly as possible.

“There are two left.”

I decided to bring the other two.

***

Two days after talking with Buendia.

“Oh, I’m so busy.”

Kim Sol came in, her nostrils flaring.

By the looks of it, he had just returned from a battle in Morocco.

Recently, gangs that commit human sacrifice have been on the rise across North Africa.

But this time, Kim Sol's help was needed to get through the court's security forces.

And the other one······.

“It’s been a while. Jeonggyeom······.”

Daichi with a gloomy expression.

He was a Japanese Awakener who possessed the ability to seal.

“What happened?”

“A few days ago, the monster I was raising died. It was cute because it resembled a kappa······.”

He was also fighting.

Monsters have been appearing periodically along the southern coast of Japan.

They are a powerful underwater race that has set up a gate in the deep sea, and they are said to have attacked civilians from time to time.

'I think I've developed a strange hobby······.'

A three-headed dog guarding the entrance to the library.

I wish Daichi had sealed that monster that was said to devour even the hierarchy of its opponents.

Because it was a living thing, it was impossible to suck it up even with my subspace abilities.

“Okay then······.”

I explained to the two of them the plan to infiltrate the Dimensional Court.

The requirement to falsify the original copy of the Constitution in the library in order to falsify the application for rank.

So, the story goes that Kim Sol has to fight against the security forces and Daichi has to seal the Three Headed Dogs.

Daichi was delighted at the story that the gatekeeper had three heads.

“No, the puppy has three heads?!”

“Well, it’s a bit difficult to call it a puppy······.”

“Then it’s three times as cute!”

“······.”

He had become strange since he had embraced the fire of Gehanna a while ago.

Daichi is delighted at the thought of holding the three-headed dog in his arms.

On the other hand, Kim Sol still had a serious expression.

Even now, on the Moroccan side, other Pax FC members were continuing the fight.

“Then what should we do here? There aren’t many people here to begin with.”

“It’s okay, there’s definitely less work to do now.”

Everyone was struggling.

Although it was important to eliminate the invaders who had joined forces with other dimensions, in fact, several times as many manpower and resources were devoted to protecting civilians.

Because defense requires more effort and resources than offense.

But there was no need for that anymore.

Falak.

In my hand I had a new rank application form forged by Buendia.

The plan was to use the installed portal to infinitely scatter the application forms for hierarchy in all directions.

A transparent hierarchical garment that only good people can wear, with the condition of 'no killing'.

so······.

“Just spread it out like a flyer.”

That was all.

Now all that's left to do is raid the Dimensional Court's library.
