Chapter 434: Fate (6)

『Ha… Main cannon? What main cannon?』

Earth feigned ignorance and asked again.

At that, Yeongwoo scowled and grabbed the bastard child.

“You little punk, I can clearly see the icon in front of my eyes—are you really going to lie to me?”

『What?!』

Earth's eyes widened.

Then belatedly, he looked down at his body.

『…Oh!』

In the meantime, the planetary system simulation had ended, and the ship-mode interface had already been applied.

Thanks to that, Yeongwoo could see a circular icon symbolizing a planet floating around Earth’s head.

『Wait, why the main cannon? I thought you were going to ask the planets for forgiveness.』

“But what if they don’t choose forgiveness? Then I need to have a plan B, right?”

『Don’t tell me plan B is firing the main cannon? Is that the attitude of someone seeking forgiveness…?』

“If you try to defy fate, you need to show what happens.”

At Yeongwoo's words, Earth’s mouth hung open, speechless.

『…….』

Even more shockingly, this crazy native's cosmic prestige level was a staggering 38.

In this solar system, excluding the star—the Sun—every other being had a lower level than this lunatic.

In other words, even if all the planets gathered together, there was no one who could suppress him by force.

“And ultimately, the decision lies with the Sun, right? So if the structure of the planetary system ends up changing, they can’t blame us.”

『Then who?』

“Blame the Sun. It was the Sun who implemented the changes, knowing full well the other planets would be inconvenienced by orbiting around Earth.”

Swish.

Yeongwoo once again looked up at the sky.

Up there, the newly generated planetary system from the simulation was flying through space in an utterly nonsensical orbit.

“What about the main cannon? Can it be installed?”

『I… I don’t know. There’s a related menu, at least.』

As Earth said this, a button labeled “Initiate Ship Transformation” appeared right in front of his eyes.

In other words, Earth had only completed the planetary simulation tutorial for ship transformation—he hadn’t physically become a ship yet.

“What related menu? What exactly does it say?”

『Initiate Ship Transformation.』

“What the—you're telling me you haven’t even started the ship transformation, and we don’t know when the Sun might attack?”

『Would you stop panicking for a second? You’re making it hard to think.』

Earth waved his hand dismissively, as if he had it under control, and clenched his jaw.

『This just means the planet can be converted into a ship—it doesn’t mean you automatically get a main cannon or anything.』

“I already know that.”

『Huh?』

“President Toma told me—if I ever buy a main cannon, get one from Toma.”

Which means, most of the facilities for a planetary ship have to be purchased with money.

“I’ve got enough to buy a main cannon. So don’t worry, just proceed.”

He had to show that as long as there was energy, the planetary ship could launch—only then would the Sun take him seriously.

Yeongwoo’s “Plan B” wasn’t just for planetary beatdowns—it was also a performance report meant to impress the Sun.

“Hurry up. We don’t have time to waste.”

With Yeongwoo pressing him, Earth finally took on a look of determination.

『Dammit… I can’t believe this is happening to me.』

And then—

Fwaaat!

Right before Yeongwoo’s eyes, Earth pressed the “Initiate Ship Transformation” button in midair.

Piiiing!

『Now there's really no turning ba—Gaaahk!』

The moment he pressed the button, searing pain struck.

“What?! What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?!”

Startled, Yeongwoo reached out to grab Earth’s shoulder, but Earth—now glowing entirely blue—shouted with his mouth wide open.

『Don’t touch me! Something’s not right!』

Then, in an instant, he transformed into a holographic figure radiating multicolored light—retaining only the silhouette of a human form.

Piaaaat!

“Whoa? What is this?”

Even Yeongwoo, who had been through all sorts of hardships, instinctively stepped back at the bizarre sight.

And just a moment later—

Paaaaat!

The entire space where Yeongwoo and Earth stood was enveloped in a holographic field.

In other words…

‘I-Is he really transforming into a ship?’

Yeongwoo stood there dumbfounded, when he suddenly felt heat on his shoulder and turned his head.

Swish.

He saw the logo of Dogo—a company ad tattooed on his right upper arm—shining brightly on the surface of his armor.

Much brighter than usual.

‘…Dogo!’

It meant even the company was witnessing this historic moment.

Their sponsored model’s planet was evolving into a planetary ship.

‘Come to think of it, if Earth becomes a planetary ship, wouldn’t that be profitable for Dogo too, since they hold development rights?’

Maybe the shareholders and the chairman of Dogo had been playing a long game just like Lemu.

That’s how vast the universe was—and how immense the chairman’s influence had become…

‘The chairman’s a level 3 under cosmic law, right? In terms of stars, what level would that be?’

The Sun had a power level of 66?

Not even close.

Just look at the Hundred-Thousand-Sword Mountain—the “strength” the chairman had accumulated was beyond imagination.

‘Maybe you’d have to go to the center of the galaxy—the realm of true strength—to find someone comparable.’

As Yeongwoo's mind drifted to distant futures, Earth—now glowing in all colors—was screaming in pain.

『Eeeeeek!』

A massive surge of unknown data and strange energy was pouring in.

Directly into Earth’s very existence.

『G-Gaaahk!』

“Hey, you bastard! You can’t die already!”

Startled by the abnormal state of Earth, Yeongwoo panicked.

Earth, who was nearly collapsed on the floor, managed to speak.

『…Your hand.』

“What?”

『…Grab my hand.』

A moment ago, Earth had told him not to touch him, and now he was saying something completely out of the blue.

But without a moment’s hesitation, Yeongwoo grabbed Earth’s outstretched hand.

Clench!

“What, does the system want us to bring in a guarantor or something?”

He was joking, but something similar really was happening.

Flash!

The moment Yeongwoo held Earth’s hand, multi-colored text appeared before his eyes.

「|l||I-Earth」 + 「Jeong Yeongwoo07」

“Huh? This is…”

It was part of a formula he’d seen in the simulation.

Then more text followed.

[Translator - Night]

[Proofreader - Gun]

「A planet-ship based on |l||I-Earth is about to be created.」

「The default configuration will follow the basic settings of the guarantor family, currently registered as ‘|l||I-Renaissance’.」

「Do you agree?」

Two palm-sized circles appeared before Yeongwoo’s eyes.

One was already filled in blue, while the other remained empty.

‘Pretty intuitive.’

The party in question—Earth—had already pressed the agree button.

So naturally, the empty circle was—

“I agree.”

Yeongwoo answered without hesitation, and the final circle quickly filled with a dark red color.

Kwooooom!

「Minimum conditions for planet-ship creation have been met.」

Even if it couldn’t escape its own orbit, it could still be a planet-ship.

‘Yeah, shit. If it’s got cannons strapped on, that’s a warship, isn’t it?’

While Yeongwoo was entertaining this irreverent thought, the dark space above their heads began to tremble violently.

Rumble rumble rumble!

“What the—? Is the house gonna collapse or something?”

Yeongwoo looked up at the sky and asked.

Earth, still lying on the floor, raised his head.

『It’s not me.』

“Then who?”

『The planets. They’re coming.』

“What… You already called them?”

Even as he asked, Yeongwoo instinctively knew that wasn’t it.

Because just a moment ago, Earth had been screaming while transforming into a ship.

『When I transformed into a planet-ship, it triggered a unique energy wave.』

That wave had stimulated every planet in the solar system—at least, according to Earth.

Just like how Earth could sense the energy reactions of the other planets.

“So, shouldn’t we get ready to greet our guests? Are they coming straight here?”

『They will. We never arranged a meeting place.』

“Wait, then…”

Yeongwoo stared vaguely at the ceiling, then grabbed Earth’s shoulders and lifted him up.

“Let’s install the cannons first. We need to show them something, right?”

『What are you talking about?』

“We need to at least hold a gun so they’ll think twice before picking a fight!”

『…Shit.』

Realizing exactly what Yeongwoo meant, Earth furrowed his brow and held his forehead.

“There’s gotta be something like a weapon shopping list, right?”

As Yeongwoo spread his arms wide, gesturing a “list,” Earth looked at the head of House Renaissance with eyes filled with near-contempt.

『Goddamn it, but yes. There is.』

“…Seriously?”

Surprised, Yeongwoo blinked, and Earth swept his arm through the air.

Whoosh!

Almost immediately, a blue system screen appeared where Earth had gestured.

「You may now purchase and install cannons for your planet-ship.」

「Cannons are divided into main guns and secondary guns. In general, only main guns can deliver direct strikes to other planets.」

“What the hell does that mean? Why can you only hit other planets with the main guns?”

Yeongwoo asked with clear irritation, but Earth shook his head.

『The “direct strike” they’re talking about doesn’t just mean hitting a location on the planet’s surface.』

“Then what? What more is there?”

『Planetary destruction.』

“…What?”

『If the damage is great enough to significantly alter a planet’s mass, it causes massive harm to the planet itself. The core entity—like me.』

Once the damage crossed a certain threshold, it wasn’t just superficial—it could kill a planet.

Then Earth looked up at the ceiling.

『Of course, it’s not something to be taken lightly. Killing a planet is…』

“Anyway, the important part is, we’re getting our hands on some awesome weapons, right?”

『Uh… what?』

“What are you waiting for? Bring up the list already. I’m dying to know how to kill a planet.”

Just as Yeongwoo pointed wickedly, an alert appeared in the air.

「||I|-Svera is entering orbital range.」

“Svera? Who’s that?”

Yeongwoo squinted suspiciously.

Earth took a few steps back as he replied.

『Svera. That’s Pluto’s real name.』

“Really? Then why are you backing away? Isn’t she one of your folks?”

『Pluto is way out on the solar system’s outer edge. Really far from us.』

“…And?”

『And she got here faster than Mars. Don’t you get what that means?』

Earth took two more steps back.

Step. Step.

That’s when Yeongwoo finally understood.

“…She’s really pissed, huh?”

And at that very moment, the black ceiling above their heads froze in an instant.

Crackle!

“Huh?”

Cold breath came out of Yeongwoo’s mouth as he looked up.

Then the ceiling shattered—and a blade-sharp voice sliced through the air.

『Who dares disturb the order?! I, King of Hell Svera, am watching!』
