Absolute Dweller-Chapter 219
“Robot?”
It was an unreal scene.
It wasn’t a science fiction movie, yet a humanoid robot was shooting a grenade launcher.
In the next moment.
Kwah-kick!
The Avatar, having teleported, kicked once, and the robot's head flew off.
Whoosh!
Even with its head gone, the robot moved as if nothing happened.
But its opponent was not in a good position.
Creak!
The robot, with its head gone, crumpled and instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The Avatar's telekinesis had twisted the robot’s body completely.
However, the robot's struggle continued until the very end.
Kwah-aaang―!
Its body exploded, sweeping everything around it.
“Tch.”
Even with the explosion at close range, the Avatar's telekinetic shield and defensive aura couldn’t be pierced.
The Avatar, clicking its tongue, returned to the spot where the grenade had struck to tend to the injured.
Whoooom
Even as the Avatar used the World Tree's life force to heal, it could still hear their inner voices.
(Pain! Pain!)
(I don’t want to die…)
What was annoying was that, once they recovered a bit, they would attack again.
After confiscating all their weapons, including the rifles, they charged with punches.
“…Would breaking one of their legs be enough?”
[That would be better.]
At this point, the enemy needed to be subdued first.
Squelch!
The sound of bones breaking echoed loudly from everywhere, but no one screamed.
They just collapsed like limp dolls, dragging their legs as they came closer.
Instead, they screamed in their minds.
(Aaaagh!)
(Ugh―!)
While working on the task, useful information came from one person's mind.
(If I just remove the chip from the back of their neck…)
Without needing to give a separate command, the Avatar immediately felt the telepathic sense of using its x-ray vision.
‘Found it.’
Everyone had a chip in the back of their neck, resembling a semiconductor.
Pook! Pook! Pook!
The Avatar used its telekinesis to pull out each one.
“Hah!”
“Grrrhh!”
“Ugh!”
Human reactions began to show from those whose chips were removed.
“What, what’s this?”
“What the hell, what the hell is this?”
People stared blankly at their bodies as if they had never moved by their own will before.
Pook! Pook! Pook!
Meanwhile, the Avatar continued to pull out chips as it moved around, and despite the bleeding from their necks, the people were overjoyed.
“It’s… it’s back! It’s back!”
“James! You’re back too!”
I spoke to them using telepathy.
[Please accept the citizenship offer.]
As my words were transmitted.
“Aaaagh! Not yet. That voice is still in my head!”
“Ugh! Wasn’t it liberation?”
“Oh, god!”
Everyone was terrified.
Just hearing the voice in their heads made them panic.
I had no choice but to leave the situation to the Avatar.
“If you want to live! Take a citizenship!”
The Avatar, shouting earnestly, caused public opinion to shift.
“What? You want us to take citizenship to live? What does that mean?”
“That voice, wasn’t it similar to the one that just spoke in our heads?”
“The pronunciation is terrible, but it seems like the same…”
Some were doubtful, but mostly, there were more people showing a positive reaction toward the Avatar.
“Everyone, focus! That person is the Messiah who came to save us!”
“Oh, lord!”
“Of course, it’s the citizenship they were talking about earlier! That’s their ability!”
The effect was undeniable.
[John accepts the offer.]
[James accepts the offer.]
[Thomas accepts the offer.]
……
……
One by one, they started to receive citizenship.
And then.
‘Opening the North Gate.’
Ziiing―
As I opened the North Gate, the Avatar cleverly stirred up the crowd.
“Come here!”
Though their English was lacking in skill and pronunciation, it was enough.
The message was clearly delivered.
One person, who had been energetically spreading the Avatar’s words, took the lead and rushed into the North Gate, disappearing immediately.
That alone was enough.
“Waaah! Let’s go!”
“We’re getting off this damn ship!”
The fact that they could escape from this ship made them excited and they rushed forward.
The place connected to the North Gate was a high school auditorium in Busan, where staff from the administration were waiting.
Despite the late hour, those who rushed over would surely be rewarded.
South Korean youth were certainly competent.
“Everyone, gather here! There will be an orientation soon!”
“Injured people, please gather over here!”
Surviving the brutal competition society of Hell Joseon, they showed fluency in English, as expected.
One of them, perhaps a returnee, was guiding the US military personnel with exceptionally fluent pronunciation.
‘I can leave it to them.’
By the time more than a hundred people had received citizenship and moved to Busan.
Clank- Clank―
Dozens of robots ascended onto the deck.
And then.
Tududududu―
They began indiscriminately firing guns at the people.
“Aaaagh!”
“Take cover!”
No matter how powerful the Avatar was, it was impossible to block all the bullets fired in a wide spread.
Moreover, the Avatar had been concentrating on removing the chips from people’s necks.
However, there were no injuries.
“Azure.”
Whoosh!
Just before the bullets hit the unprotected US military personnel, a massive blue whale appeared on the aircraft carrier's deck.
The high-level water spirit contracted with Lee Joon-hyuk.
Chwa-chwa-chwa―
The bullets, digging into the giant whale’s body, lost power and stopped before they even reached a meter.
And then.
Screech―
The robots, forming a line and creating a fire net, had their waists instantly severed.
The high-pressure water stream fired by Lee Joon-hyuk cleanly severed the robot.
Using the polishing agent he normally kept in his inventory, the water jet could easily slice through metal.

……
……
Earlier, the Avatar had used clairvoyance to assess all the forces aboard the aircraft carrier.
With the Avatar and Lee Joon-hyuk, it was safe to say they were sufficiently overpowered.
Screech!
Amidst the chaos, a fighter jet took off from the runway.
“No, you don’t.”
The Avatar, having teleported, blocked the jet's path.
The jet’s engines roared as flames shot out, and the propellers underneath began spinning.
Screech!
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
It seemed like the jet was about to fire with tremendous force, but.
Kwah-kick!
The Avatar easily blocked the jet with one hand.
Clunk―
Using telekinesis, the Avatar pulled the pilot from the cockpit and removed the chip embedded in his neck.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net, it has been stolen.
Whoosh―
The jet's engine stopped, and the attached propeller also ceased functioning.
The Avatar spoke.
“Robots and soldiers will keep coming. I’ll leave this to Lee Joon-hyuk.”
“Understood.”
After the last of the US military personnel, who had been in the fighter jet cockpit, regained their freedom, only around 1,100 soldiers, heading toward the deck from inside the ship, remained.
“As you know, these people are being controlled. They have chips controlling them at the back of their necks, but removing them won't be easy, so just subdue them.”
“Understood.”
The chips controlling the people were deeply embedded in their necks, making it nearly impossible to remove them without the Avatar’s combination of clairvoyance and telekinesis.
In effect, only the Avatar could save the US military personnel.
However, there was something more urgent to deal with.
The Avatar, looking below the deck, used clairvoyance.
‘There it is.’
In the heart of the aircraft carrier.
A robot, emitting powerful energy, had latched onto the nuclear propulsion system, taking control of the entire system.
「M-113 (Lv. 45)」
This one had to be dealt with first.
Whoosh-
As the Avatar moved toward the nuclear propulsion system.
Kwah-kick!
The Avatar, wearing a defensive aura, shattered the robot’s core with a punch.
It targeted the complicated circuits and important-looking semiconductors or equipment.
The robot was unable to react to the sudden surprise attack, and, fortunately, the feared scenario didn’t occur.
“Phew.”
Why had the robot positioned itself on the nuclear propulsion system, controlling all systems on the aircraft carrier?
‘If I had been careless, there could have been a nuclear explosion.’
If the situation had become unfavorable, it might have self-destructed.
That's why the Avatar had been feigning ignorance, pretending to focus on rescuing people while secretly looking for the robot’s weak points with clairvoyance.
Ziiing―
As the calculation began, the robot, clinging to the nuclear propulsion system, started to vanish.
And then.
[Avatar has eliminated the leader of the 'John A Kennedy'.]
[Conditions are met.]
[Construction of a forward base on the ‘John A Kennedy’ is now possible.]
‘Hmm?’
I was momentarily stunned.
What?
‘Can I set the aircraft carrier as a forward base?’
I hadn’t expected to be able to set a moving object as a forward base.
‘This is incredible.’
Area 51, Nevada, USA.
It was a strictly controlled military operation zone before the monster outbreak, with civilian access prohibited.
Tududududu―
As gunshots echoed, the sound of an orc’s neck being snapped could be heard.
Around him were monsters, bleeding out and dying.
The one slaughtering the monsters was a robot equipped with a machine gun.
However, it wasn’t killing all the monsters.
“Gkreeeek!”
There were still robots that were collecting orcs and monsters that hadn’t died yet.
These robots moved tirelessly like ants, gathering the corpses or living monsters and heading back.
The center they were heading toward.
Whooing―
A massive machine made a grand noise as it operated.
From supercomputers to factories producing something, everything was constantly working without rest.
But there were no researchers who seemed to be controlling it.
It wasn’t that no life forms existed.
Deep underground, there were places where monsters were being kept, and bio-experiments were actively underway.
Monsters were being dissected, reassembled, and experimental data was being collected.
Whoosh- Clunk―
On one side, a robot was implanting a chip into the body of a sedated monster.
The work going on in Area 51 wasn’t just that.
In another section, drones, various machinery, and humanoid robots were being continuously produced.
It resembled a giant factory.
Self-driving trucks brought materials to the research lab, which were then turned into combat weapons and sent back out.
And all of this was overseen by a main computer that was running serious calculations.
