Chapter 89 – The Dawn of the Twilight Era

*(E/N: Switches between the POV of an Earthling Factory Worker and the Last Human)

A reasonably long time has passed since the mass production of the new battle golem began.

Already, the New Earthen Army controls most of the universe.

The United Planets have been pushed to the very fringes of the universe, with the expression "going the way of the dinosaurs" truly summarizing the situation well. (1)

Just a little more and New Humanity will have completely conquered the universe.

Soon, all intelligent life will fall under their control and will surrender their destinies to New Humanity.

Earth's magical civilization will progress further than ever, consolidating the whole of the universe's resources under themselves.

(No one can stop Earth.)

Naturally, this was the prevailing thought around the universe.

Even New Humanity thought so.

However, "people" are not so simple.

I work in a huge interstellar warship factory.

In the factory, a few people like me and many more homunculi move about, working on various types of warships.

Once again, I sit in my designated chair and inspect the drawings laid on my desk.

When the inspection finishes, I send various spells into the factory's open space.

The invoked magic simultaneously creates parts and combines them to instantaneously form a huge battleship.

After ensuring the quality of the completed battleship, I check the next drawing and then grab my staff.

Then, after a few hours of working by myself, several cutting-edge interstellar warships would be completed, and I would use transport spells to supply Earth's military bases throughout the universe.

Every day, after finishing the last ship, an alarm would ring, signaling the end of work.

"Ah~~...

Work is finally over~~"

A small homunculus in the management position spoke to me as I was rubbing my shoulders.

"Thank you for your hard work.

The battleships you built today performed wonderfully.

If more battleships like that are deployed, the day will soon come when Earth's great civilization will bring order to the vast universe."

The pretty Homunculus smiles, whilst uttering such words of praise for Earth.

To such a homunculus, I said,

"Oh, that's, well~~...

Well, it's my job."

I changed out of my work clothes and left the factory.

I walked to the front gate and deployed teleportation magic.

My destination is a bar on the other side of the continent.

A few minutes later, I was having a drink with my good friends at that bar.

Everyone has their own problems, but at this moment, we drank happily, putting them out of our minds.

At that moment, I muttered something to myself.

"...Hey... why do we work...?"

(...Ah...
