Chapter 82 - Into Space
With the homunculi, a loyal and steadfast friend, and seemingly unlimited magical power, New Humanity's leap forward knew no bounds.
They continued to expand, reigning over the continents, oceans, and skies.
Already, there is no place on Earth where New Humanity does not dwell, aside from man-made islands.
On land, New Humanity's giga structures litter the Earth.
In the ocean and underground, huge cities are under development.
Even in the sky, floating cities are being built.
In magical power plants, elephant-sized artificial second hearts beat constantly to support the cultural life of New Humanity.
Underground and underwater, unaffected by the natural environment, vast farms are being built to support the hunger of New Humanity.
Schools for advanced learning, hospitals for cutting-edge magical medicine, and huge factories…
Day by day, they improve their magical technologies and continue to expand their power as the very rulers of Earth.
And in the end, they accomplished it.
They took a big step forward.

A man is looking out the window.
He just keeps staring out the window in amazement.
A message spell is sent to the man.
He doesn't reply. Could there be trouble?
Worry washes over the sender and they release another message spell, but the man, staring out the window in amazement, does not answer.
"He isn't answering. He should be receiving these messages! Why isn't he answering! I was right! He must be in trouble!"
Upon hearing the distressed voice of his colleague, the dazed man regains his composure and replies back.
"Sorry, sorry! Everything is fine. We aren't experiencing any problems here."
"You scared me! If there weren't any problems, why didn't you answer right away?! We were worried about you!"
The correspondent's voice is laced with both relief and irritation.
"I'm really sorry about this. I was kind of… dazed."
"Dazed? No, it couldn't be… You aren't leaking oxygen, are you?!"
"No, no, no. Sorry. I was just moved by the beauty of it."
"Beauty?"
"Oh… ah… the Earth is… so… blue… It's just… such a beautiful planet…"
The man looks out the window of his small spaceship orbiting Earth and sighs.
Then, he clasps his hands and gives a small prayer to the goddess.
This age…
New Humanity finally succeeded in breaching the final frontier, outer space.
From then on, it was a time of great excitement.
New Humanity built a base on the moon and continued to expand their sphere of influence to Mars and Saturn.
The speed of their expansion far exceeded that of Old Humanity.
Finally, they ventured out of the solar system, as if even that was too small for them.
Ages have passed since New Humanity expanded past the solar system.
Even today, they continue their extra-solar activities.
Let's take a look at some of their activities.
A huge New Human fleet is deployed in space some ways from Earth.
This truly majestic fleet moves forward, spewing magic power from its huge magic engines as if they were miniature volcanoes.
Only a comparatively small fleet opposes the large Earthen armada.
Toward the small fleet, New Humanity's fleet unleashes a message spell.
"Attention, United Planets Fleet!
We are the Earthen Fleet.
Your current actions are disturbing the peace and order of the universe.
It is not too late.
Immediately cease your resistance, lay down your arms, and surrender yourselves meekly.
If you do so, your crimes will not be questioned.
Your relatives are weeping over your treasonous folly.
I repeat.
We are the Earth Fleet."
Upon hearing such a message, the opposing admiral, his forehead veins popping, angrily replies.
"What!? Peace and order!? What a joke!!!
You forcibly oppressed our home planet!
Our freedom! Our pride! Our future! You stole it all from us!!!
What peace and order!?!?
HEY YOU! F*CK YOU EARTHLINGS! F*CK THE EARTHEN ARMY!"
A soldier reports to the admiral, who yells at him.
It was a report that the main fleet of the United Planets had managed to successfully retreat.
Hearing this report, the Admiral made up his mind.
The remaining fleet of the United Planet Forces launched an assault against the overwhelmingly powerful Earthen fleet.
Pouring magic power into their magic engines and deploying anti-ship attack magic, they launched a suicidal assault.
It was obvious to everyone that there was no chance of victory.
However, they continued the assault.
With the United Planets flag flying high on the ship's bow, they died proudly.
With tears, blood, screams, and clenched fists, their fleet continued to advance toward a powerful enemy they could never defeat.
…The Earthen fleet starts to attack such a determined fleet.
The Earthen fleet mercilessly unleashes all its anti-ship attack magic; United Planets battleships that were directly hit by the attack magic caused a huge explosion before turning into space dust.
The Admiral, bleeding purple blood from his forehead, also passed away, enveloped in a soft glow.
Earth's anti-ship magic is launched relentlessly, obliterating the United Planets' fleet.
At that moment, the universe became a little brighter.
