"But you have to, Your Majesty . "

"Can't we just leave as a task for the future generation?"

Jackson shook his head fiercely, then turned cold and spoke in an even colder voice .

"Do you want your children to go?"

"I mean, shouldn't they also have various experiences?"

"And you wish to take the blame for it?"

Joonb.u.m thought about a few faces and frowned .

"But it's too much . "

"Then, how about you don't go?" Jackson snapped coldly . Joonb.u.m frowned again .

"Monsters will keep coming over from the Gate . We can defend the Gate and put up a wall, but there will be problems . Just like how we advance in technology, the monsters will evolve too . It's better for us to wipe them out now . And there are people out there too . YOUR people . Rescue them . And there should be remnants of advanced technology buried somewhere within that place . We'll need it . "

"I agree with Jackson . Besides, there are rumors spreading that beyond the Gate is a Demon World . People are already saying that you will stand up to lay waste to the Demon World and save mankind . "

Joonb.u.m looked dumbfounded . He turned slowly and glared at Jackson . Jackson shook his head awkwardly .

"I didn't have anything to do with that . "

"Really?"

"No . "

"Seriously?"

"I… just explained that it's a Demon World out there . "

"DEMON WORLD?! That's Earth! My homeworld! You saw the video! That place was less dangerous than here!" Joonb.u.m shouted, but Jackson just shrugged . Joonb.u.m frowned again .

"Well, I'm sorry Your Majesty, but I had to . "

Joonb.u.m glared at Jackson . Jackson coughed and took out a cigarette .

"I just couldn't find a better example to describe it . How do I explain to the people that the place where monsters pour out from is your homeworld? If I do that, the remnants of Horun fanatics will start spreading propaganda about you . The world believes in you, but we cannot ignore the existence of religion . It still stays deep within the hearts of the people . We cannot give them an excuse to overthrow us . "

It was as Jackson said .

"And besides, I don't think 'Demon World' is a bad name for the place in its current state . "

'Right . '

Earth right now was pouring out enough monsters to be called a Demon World . It was not the same Earth that Joonb.u.m remembered .

'I just hope they aren't any more of those giant monsters again . '

The giant monsters' appearance created a chain reaction of rousing monsters in slumber within the deepest regions of the Khalodian Mountain Range . One such appearance was the black dragon .

"What if we reinforce our walls? And add another layer?" Joonb.u.m asked .

Doral replied this time .

"If monsters pour out again, no wall will be enough . And besides, walls are good for ones on the ground . But what if we get ones like that dragon? If what those people said was true, there are monsters which fly out there . We were just lucky back then . Therefore, we cannot count on luck again . "

Jackson also nodded .

"…Hmm, I guess we have no choice then . "

Jackson nodded at Joonb.u.m's words .

"Yes, Your Majesty . I'll prepare the 1st Crusade to the Demon World . "

"We must prepare too . "

"It's a different world . "

"Right . But Earth… now I will get to see it with my own eyes . "

Joonb.u.m laughed .

Within the factory, machines made from metal constantly moved while steam filled the building . Strong men quickly moved from side to side .

"It's winter outside, yet this place is still really hot . "

"That's why we built the factory here . If it wasn't for the surroundings, it would've been hard to withstand the heat . "

Two men spoke as they walked through the factory .

"Can we meet the deadline?"

"Yes, sir . We'll be ready . "
