Vol 2. Chapter 7: A Transcendent at the Minimum? (7)

Captain-nim! Are you all right?!

'Ahh... Yeah. I'm fine. How's the situation?'

We're in the middle of a troop deployment after declaring an emergency situation. They're currently in the atmosphere...

'They still haven't arrived yet?' 

Captain-nim, it has been 24 seconds since you were abducted, and it has only been 6 seconds since the assault started. I am guessing that you were kidnapped to a dimension with a different time axis. How much time did you feel has passed?

'It's been a little over 30 minutes.'

'For starters, send back all the troops that were dispatched. Get the Albatross ship to go back to stealth mode too.'

It's already been taken care of. However, can you come back to the ship for a while, Captain-nim?

'Why?' 

Didn't you leave the management system on the individual dimension for a while? You might suffer from physical and mental problems, so please return to the ship as soon as possible for a medical examination...

'Ahhh, it's fine. I don't need it.'

But...

'I said I'm fine.'

It's worrying though...

Authority of the God of War!

'Hmmm? What are you talking about, Ares? Putting that aside, for what reason have you been so quiet?' 

It's the Authority of the God of War, Dae-ha. Practice the Authority of the God of War!

'What's that?'

It's the most perfect path to reach the realm of transcendence!

'Agh, I'm not buying. I said I'm not buying.'

It's not like that! You punk! Even before I was born, there were wars that took place in order to obtain the Authority of the God of War... 

'How many hours do they stand watch here? It's making me want to complain to the Department of Labor instead.'

Wiiiiingggg. Clack!

'It's more like a hotel than a guest room. Should I think of it as a hotel with a unique theme, because its structure is that of a royal palace?'

Therefore! That is why you have to practice the Authority of the God of War!

'Agh, okay I got it.'

Please listen to me sincerely. 

'Is that a good thing?'

Of course! It's the Divine Skill of God that was born along with me! To be honest, even though you rode on me as you pleased, one was originally supposed to be sufficiently skilled in the Authority of the God of War to earn the qualifications of a pilot. 

'Since you said it's a good thing, then I guess it won't hurt to practice it.'

'How do I practice it? Do I have to train it in a simulation, like how one would do with martial arts?'

It's displeasing if you compare it to such substandard things! The Authority of the God of War has a completely different training method than those!

'What's the different training method you're referring to then?'

War! You will only be able to grow the power and light of the God of War through war!

'It's an aggressive power, isn't it?'

Then what? Do you expect there to be a peaceful war that exists in the world?

'His'

Why, why?

'My Divine Spirit is already unstable as it is in this situation where I had to complete the extreme Calm State of Mind. So, it would naturally be like that. Looking at the mood, it seems like it's a power that affects the mind.'

Wh-Why are you saying like it's definitely going to have an adverse effect? The Authority of the God of War will lead to the courage that is hidden inside the practitioner...

'That's the adverse effect.' 

 'I'

Sigh. 

What about the producer-type if you have to train the soul energy?

'...Producer-type?'

Yes, Captain-nim. The Kendler tribe's method of training is expected to be the safest, most peaceful, and the best suited for your aptitude. 

'Hmm.'

The training method is recorded in the research lab, and above all, the materials and samples are well prepared. The ultimate direction to pursue is also provided. 

'You're talking about the Golden Knight Order, huh...'

That's right.

 'A Human-rank Gigas that did not require a pilot.'

'But then again, I'm sure that's the case. The Golden Knight Order was a product made by the transcendents while pouring in astronomical resources.'

Of course, you can't reproduce the Golden Knight Order. Iron Heart is something that only the Kendler tribe could create, even in the Great Universe.

'Alright. Let's think about it for a second.'

Excellent judgment, Captain-nim.

Er-Erm. The Authority of the God of War is...

'Shut your trap.'

...What a jerk. Cheap bastard. 

'What is a dark-skinned hunk like you whining for?'
