【Mysticism】─🧐 Hey, what do you think about taming a monster that can spread the Dimension Barrier?
【Boglebogle】─Do you even know where a monster with such abilities is? Sheesh.
While discussing the Great Migration Plan with the assistants…
A portal emerged from the Warp Device, and Omega came through the portal to visit our hideout.
［I’m here to hang out! Poyopoy!］
Omega approached me with a skip in her step.
She suddenly plopped down right next to me.
“Here, enjoy this yumyum.”
［Thanks, poy.］
I quickly grabbed the scrap snacks Merino had brought and chowed down.
［This is slurpy!］
［Thanks, poypoy.］
I gulped down the oil Jafan had handed me. I momentarily paused my conversation with the assistants to shift my gaze to Omega.
“Perfect timing! I was just about to ask you something.”
［Poypoy?］
“Omega, you don’t happen to have any skills for creating a Dimension Barrier, do you?”
［Dimension Barrier? I don’t have the technology for that. I never felt the need to make a Dimension Barrier, so I’ve never researched it.］
“…Really? That’s a bummer.”
［But if there’s no technology, then we can just create it! If I start researches now, I can develop a device to generate a Dimension Barrier. Poypoy.］
“Wait, seriously?”
［Seriously. It’ll take about a year if I aim for a perfect Dimension Barrier. However, we could develop a device that creates a basic one in just six months.］
“Ugh, a year is quite a wait…”
［Poypoy. It takes long since I don’t have any related knowledge.］
【Luna-chan】─I could spread a basic Dimension Barrier too, as long as I recover my strength!
【Luna-chan】─It won’t take me six months!
【Mysticism】─😠
【Boglebogle】─Well, I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up.
A year feels too long.
Since even a low-level barrier takes six months, relying on Omega’s skills doesn’t seem practical.
［So, I don’t need to focus on developing the Dimension Barrier generator, right? Poypoy?］
“No, still do the research. We might need it later on. Of course, no rush.”
［Got it. I’ll work on it whenever I have the time. Gyororing.］
It wouldn’t hurt to develop it.
A powerful Dimension Barrier over Elemenzia would be great.
【Mirstin】─Oh! Speaking of which, isn’t Omega’s tech the best in the Dimension?
【Mirstin】─If our plan to migrate to Elemenzia fails, how about terraforming another planet with Omega’s technology?
【Mysticism】─😮 Good idea! With Omega’s tech, it should be possible!
“Actually, we can’t. It’s not the planet; it’s the Dimension itself that’s the problem.”
【Boglebogle】─Gauntlet’s right.
【Boglebogle】─Once the beings from the Other World cross over and conquer Earth, they’ll probably target nearby planets next.
【Boglebogle】─Or maybe some expelled races from Earth will look to migrate to other planets.
【Mirstin】─Ah, I was narrow-minded.
【Mysticism】─Think a bit and then speak! 😠
【Boglebogle】─Missy, shut it.
The dimension that Earth belongs to had to be abandoned.
If the Dimension Barrier is destroyed, the coordinates of the world will be completely exposed.
It seems some worlds are already exposed.
Surely, later on, if Omega’s Dimension Barrier generator is invented, we could reclaim Earth.
To avoid further exposure, I could request the invention of a coordinate tracking disruptor too.
But by that time, Earth would likely be too devastated for humans to retrieve.
Meanwhile, in the new homeland, Elemenzia, the migrants would gradually adapt and build a new civilization.
So, it makes sense to let go of Earth.
Even if we were to purify the devastated globe, abandoning the newly built civilization to rebuild on Earth would be super inefficient.
Instead of reclaiming Earth as a base, it would be way more efficient to continuously send exploration teams to bring back remnants of Earth’s civilization.
Well, there is also the possibility of the beings from the Other World completely destroying the planet beyond recovery while they’re fighting.
【Boglebogle】─But, can we really migrate all 6 billion people?
【Yumi】─That was ages ago. Now we’re about 8.1 billion.
【Boglebogle】─Can we migrate all 8 billion people?
【Yumi】─Wow, you’re quick with corrections.
Earth’s population has already reached 8 billion.
I didn’t even know.
Regardless…
“Realistically, it’s impossible to migrate everyone.”
I didn’t plan to move everyone.
I’m not some fool dreaming of saving everyone while ignoring reality.
So, I was planning to select only certain individuals for migration.
Of course, I had priority rules set.
My acquaintances.
My assistants.
The relatives and acquaintances of my assistants.
Various engineers and technicians from different fields.
Basically, skilled personnel.
In that order.
Guilt?
There’s no need to feel any of that nonsense.
After all, I’m not a savior.
I don’t even consider this an act of abandoning people.
It’s just leaving them in their original world.
I had no choice but to act coldly.
If I made flawed judgments out of compassion, I would ultimately lose everyone.
If I have the time, I’ll look to migrate those who fell behind in the priority list, but by then, the chances they’ll still be alive are exceedingly slim.
I conveyed this thought to the assistants.
Surprisingly, none expressed dissent.
【Mirstin】─I’ll fully support Geon’s opinion!
【Mirstin】─My idol, my light!
【Boglebogle】─Hey, Geon. So, what’s your rough estimate on how many people will migrate?
“I don’t know. Just ask Sage, who is hanging out with you.”
【Luna-chan】─I don’t know either.
【Luna-chan】─We’ll have to wait and see!
【Boglebogle】─I see.
【Boglebogle】─But will the people of Elemenzia even accept strangers from another world?
“Ellis will have to do the convincing. With the name value of our Devoted Warrior, it shouldn’t be too hard.”
【Boglebogle】─True.
【Boglebogle】─I hate to say this myself, but being a warrior who participated in the War Between Humans and Monsters makes it easy for me to convince people.
【Mysticism】─😮
【Mysticism】─Then it should be even easier if Geon’s name is mentioned, right? Gauntlet! SSS-Class!
【Luna-chan】─Ellis has a higher name value!
【Luna-chan】─Only those who know Gauntlet know him! He wasn’t even around during the War Between Humans and Monsters!
“Anyway, Ellis, I’m counting on you. Please persuade the humans from Earth to migrate safely.”
【Boglebogle】─Understood. You can count on me.
【Boglebogle】─There are plenty of continents in Elemenzia, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
The population of Elemenzia is still high.
Many strong ones died during the War Between Humans and Monsters, but those who didn’t participate in the war have survived relatively well.
However, just as Ellis mentioned…
There are countless continents in Elemenzia.
Moreover, most humans are working together on one continent to recreate their nation.
So, it should be okay to hand over at least one surplus continent to the Earthlings.
For reference,
A significant number of the continents in Elemenzia are larger than all continents on Earth combined.
As mentioned before,
Elemenzia is dozens of times bigger than Kendra.
Although Earth is larger than Kendra, the difference isn’t that huge.
Therefore,
Assuming all 8 billion people migrate, if we surrender just one continent, there’ll be more than enough space for the Earthlings to live.
【Yumi】─Geon, there’s one more thing that worries me.
【Yumi】─Aren’t there monsters in Elemenzia too?
“Of course… I mean, yes.”
I momentarily forgot I was speaking informally to Ha Yumi.
I quickly switched back to informal speech.
【Yumi】─So, isn’t it just as dangerous there?
“Ellis will choose a continent where the danger level of monsters is low, so don’t worry.”
【Yumi】─So there’s no continent without monsters, huh…
“That’s true, but once you adapt, it’ll be much better than Earth in the future when the Dimension Barrier is gone. As you all know, not all monsters are hostile to humans. Especially in Elemenzia, there are many monsters that are friendly toward humans.”
Tame the friendly monsters.
Use those monsters to defend against hostile ones.
I added that line.
Basically, I was telling them to become monster tamers.
Even without any abilities,
As long as they have skills, anyone can become at least a novice tamer.
Those skills can definitely be taught by the people of Elemenzia.
“And I plan to ask for talented individuals who can teach magic and psychic abilities to be sent to the continent where the Earthlings will live.”
【Yumi】─Wait? We can learn magic and psychic abilities?!
【Boglebogle】─What?
【Mysticism】─😮
【Mirstin】─What? That’s the first I’ve heard of this!
【Boglebogle】─Why weren’t we told? For crying out loud.
【Luna-chan】─But… you guys lacked talent for magic. So we didn’t even mention it. 😭W😭
【Yumi】─Oh no.
【Mirstin】─We didn’t have abilities after all…?
【Boglebogle】─Well, if that’s the case, then it can’t be helped…
【Mysticism】─😭
【Rize Nova】─Hehe.
【Boglebogle】─Why are they chatting through text while all together?
【Luna-chan】─You might have some talent in other powers like psychic abilities and summoning, so don’t be too disheartened, everyone!
Well, it’s not a problem if the assistants don’t have special powers.
They have the equipment I sent them, after all.
【Mysticism】─I need to be like Geon and go the physical route! Starting training today! 😠
【Boglebogle】─No matter how hard you try, you’ll just end up as monster meat.
But looking around…
It seems the assistants have no aversion to moving from their hometown of Earth to Elemenzia.
‘Feels like I have the most attachment to Earth…’
I couldn’t help but feel a peculiar sensation.
Having sealed my powers to return to Earth, I was now in a situation where I might end up going back to Elemenzia again. Of course, I’m not sure when I can return.
‘…When I do return, I might as well head to Elemenzia instead of Earth.’
I couldn’t tell if the assistants from Earth were trying to act fine or not, but I decided to completely let go of my attachment to Earth.
I had plans to safely migrate the connections I had built on Earth over to Elemenzia, and the reason I initially wanted to return to Earth was largely due to my dissatisfaction with Elemenzia’s civilization.
Elemenzia’s science and technology are really behind, you know.
But now, that was no longer an issue.
Once the Earthlings are migrated,
I would build a civilization on Elemenzia that wouldn’t fall behind Earth…
No, I intended to frequently send Omega over to help further advance the civilization in Elemenzia.
And.
The fact that Elemenzia is a world rife with betrayal, death, war, and slaughter also bothered me, but that was something I could directly intervene and resolve.
With the myriad of abilities my monster companions possess now, it’s not impossible.
Creating a world that is close to an ideal peaceful one is…
Well,
To advance the Great Migration Plan, gaining consent from key figures in Elemenzia is my priority.
There was no need to unnecessarily convey this plan to the people of Earth.
After all, it isn’t until after the monster apocalypse that Sage will regain her powers.
In such a chaotic world, I doubt any sane person would refuse help to rescue them.
Unless they are a suicide hopeful.
