88. Most Important Human
Orders for Magic Bombs are pouring in after Indra goes back home. Many countries want to buy the Magic Bombs that have such great explosive powers.
But Indra doesn't accept any order because he can't mass produce the Magic Bombs yet. He needs to talk with his Guild's business partner that produces the Magic Gun, KLOK, if they can also produce the Magic Bombs.
Indra leaves the business talk to his Secretary General who is more experienced with business. There are too many things to be taken care of before they can start producing and selling the Magic Bombs, so Indra can't waste his time on that.
Even after clearing an S-Rank Gate and showing such a powerful weapon, Indra's main task now is still the same, awakening powerful people to prepare for the war.
Jin Woo's shadow soldiers have found a lot of good awakening candidates all over the world, so Indra just needs to find them, awaken them, and make contracts with them.
But he is just 1 person, so it will take a lot of time and energy to get every candidate. Also, he has other things to do which make him even busier.
He can handle other things with his clones, but he can't send his clones to awaken or upgrade the candidates' power, so he can't laze around too much.
Still, he knows when to rest and never forces himself to finish everything in one go. He still has a life to enjoy, after all.
Anyway, it doesn't take long for KLOK to agree with the new business. They already have experience producing the Magic Guns' energy crystals that become the energy sources of the Magic Bullets.
The Magic Bombs are produced the same way as the Magic Guns' Energy Crystals. It's just their Rune Magic Spells that are different, so the factory just needs to make different engraving machines.
The construction of the factory in Lombok, Indonesia is almost finished too. So soon, they can start producing the Magic Guns and Magic Bombs there.
It's a good thing because then Indra won't need to fly to Austria every month to activate the Rune Magic Spells engraved on the crystals.
Also, thanks to the Magic Bombs, now they get more investors. Their factory's construction hasn't even finished, yet they have thought of expanding it because of the Magic Bomb production.
But now they need to think more about the sale of the Magic Guns and Magic Bombs. They need to be very careful of who they are selling their products to, because their products are very dangerous.
So they decide to only sell their products to Nation Governments and let each country decide how to distribute the products in their countries.
But they also make sure to tell every country that purchases products from them that they won't tolerate any country that uses their products for crime.
If they find out that a country is distributing the Magic Guns and Bombs to criminals or they use those weapons to hurt innocents, then they will ban that country from buying and will even confiscate everything they've bought.
Indra even threatens them by saying that he will destroy any country that misuse the Magic Guns and Magic Bombs even if it's America that has 2 National Level Hunters.
It sounds arrogant, but all countries know just what Indra is capable of, especially after he shows the power of his Magic Bombs.
He only uses up to an A-Rank dungeon boss core in his demonstration. But he is in possession of some S-Rank monster cores and even an S-Rank boss core which no one can imagine just how powerful the Magic Bombs will be if he uses those cores.
Furthermore, other National Level Hunters are supporting this decision and say they will help Indra destroy countries that violate this rule.
No country should be stupid enough to become the enemy of all National Level Hunters, so it should be fine.
They will work hard to make sure that the Magic Guns and Bombs won't be used wrongly. New laws are also made in many countries to make sure the Magic Guns and Bombs won't fall into the hands of criminals.
Other than Magic Guns and Bombs, the world is also focusing on something that Indra managed to develop before the S-Rank Gates appeared, the Eternal Slumber Healing Device.
The research on the Eternal Slumber's healing method has been finished before the double S-Rank Gates appeared.
They made a device that can heal Eternal Slumber patients. This device uses Indra's Rune Magic Spell too just like everything else he made, so he needs to place his Rune Magic on every device that is made.
The research institute has chosen a manufacturer to build the devices that look like capsules. So Indra just needs to activate the runes they've engraved, just like how the Magic Guns and Bombs are made, though they have different runes obviously.
Indra will receive shares from every usage of the devices as the one who created them. It's just 5%, but the total will be high because there are so many Eternal Slumber patients in the world.
The healing time will be around a week to a month depending on the severity of the patients' Eternal Slumber illness. Patients' ages also affect the healing speed, so there is no set time for how long the patients will be healed.
But so far, every patient that has been treated using the device has been healed completely even if their healing speed is different.
Though the longer they stay in the healing capsules, the more expensive it will be because they will need more magic crystals to power the capsules.
Many people even need to take loans or even give up on healing their loved ones because the price is too high for them.
Indra has foreseen this kind of thing to happen. That's why he gave all his shares from the capsules usage for those who can't afford the capsule fee through a trustworthy International Charity Foundation.
Of course, he doesn't completely trust this organization. So he uses his Soul Contract with their CEO to make sure that they won't cheat him and embezzle the money meant for the poor.
And because he made such a decision, the other researchers who also get shares from the capsules are following Indra's decision to donate their shares.
They are not as wealthy as Indra, so they don't donate all of their shares. But the amount accumulated just from all the researchers' shares is still very big and there are other wealthy people who donate, so many Eternal Sumber patients will be saved.
Everything he did has made him someone respected by most people in the world. But it doesn't make him complacent and he still works hard in everything he needs to do.
Indra still raids dungeons, nurturing new hunters, developing his skills, and doing many things to gain XP so he'll keep getting stronger.
"Damn! I'm running out of ideas to increase the Hunters' powers and gain more XP. The current rate is good, but I doubt we will be powerful enough when the Monarchs' army comes."
Despite doing well in the plan to strengthen mankind and himself, Indra feels that it's still not enough.
Maybe it's because even Jin Woo and Odin don't know how strong the Monarchs' army will be when they come with their allies, so Indra is very worried if mankind will be strong enough when that time comes.
Well, also, he is obsessed with creating new things using Rune Magic. It's a very versatile magic that challenges his creativity.
His inability to create something new bugs him a lot because it feels like he loses his creativity and reaches his limit.
"What are you thinking so deeply of?"
"Sis! I'm thinking of what I should make next."
"Are you not satisfied with making Magic Guns and Bombs?"
"I don't think those are enough for the war. You've seen Jin Woo's power, right?"
"Yeah, that's a terrifying power."
Jin Woo has shown his real power to Dewi per Indra's request to show how terrifying the incoming war will be. He hasn't fully recovered, but Dewi is already terrified of his power.
"Right, and he thinks that's not enough to win the incoming war. Those Monarchs are gathering allies now, so the scale will be much bigger than we anticipated. We need to strengthen mankind more to face their overwhelming force."
"Hmm, I see."
Dewi starts thinking of a new idea too. But she also can't find any idea of how to use Indra's Rune Magic to develop a new item. Now she understands that this is not an easy matter.
