Became an Archmage That Possessors Were Obsessed With

11 – Provocation and Forgery as a Means of Winning

I summarized Love Peace’s argument briefly.

A novel just like mine.

In ＜The Untalented Sorcerer Dreams of the Archmage＞, there is a person who possesses a spirit that has possessed the protagonist, and they plan to unite different races to exterminate the human race. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the mysterious possessor in our novel is a remarkable person who can influence various races.

There were a few individuals who had a rough idea, but it was difficult to filter them out with just expectations. That’s why I decided to dig through Love Peace’s posts.

On the Extermination Forum, unless the administrator sends a message directly, the messaging function is disabled. So, the conversation records with the possessor A, which Love Peace had, should still be there.

“They might have been deleted, but I’ll think about it when I get there.”

I gathered and searched through Love Peace’s numerous comments written using the administrator function.

Love Peace – Peace is a good thing!

Love Peace – I’m happy today, spreading peace on the bulletin board. hehehe.

Love Peace – Why do people like to fight? It’s a busy world even when we can all live in love…

Love Peace – Hating someone is an unacceptable behavior!

Love Peace – I want to be someone who helps others!

As always, there were countless comments filled with peace concepts and trivialities. Among them, one caught my eye.

Love Peace (Secret Comment) – Are you really planning to exterminate the human race? It might be a good idea to reconsider.

“I found it.”

I immediately clicked on the post and checked the comments from the beginning. Since all the comments were secret, normally, only Love Peace, the author of the post, and the person behind the comments, revenger, could be seen. But as the administrator, I can see all the secret comments.

Just like this.

Revenger – Love Peace, it seems like I won’t be able to come to the Extermination Forum for a while.

Love Peace – Huh? Why? You were one of the few who understood and sympathized with my theory of peace…!

Revenger – I will fight to achieve peace. The schedule has been confirmed.

Love Peace – Fight for peace? Those two words cannot coexist!

As Love Peace continued to pour out her objections, Revenger hastily explained his intentions.

Revenger – As I mentioned before, I have foolishly possessed this other species. And in the past war, many people died as a result. Among them were those I knew, including players. Humans oppressed this species selfishly for their own interests, and the most despicable bastard among them was MacDeras. That guy. We lost the war because of him. We had to make a humiliating agreement and were driven to the outskirts. Some of the species that bowed to humans continue to live, grumbling, while engaging in trade and interaction. But the other species are truly experiencing the worst days.

Love Peace – S-So you’re going to start a war…?

Revenger – There’s no other way. For peace, all human races must die. Especially that bastard MacDeras, he must die no matter what.

“You’re talking nonsense.”

As soon as she saw Revenger’s comment, Yookseong’s curses erupted.

There were some facts, but it was clearly biased language.

One thing was certain: the inter-species world war that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of organisms did not happen under human leadership. Instead, the succubus infiltrated the human territory and killed the nobility, which became the trigger for the battle between the succubus-friendly and human-friendly species.

But the species that were friendly to humans were only elves and dwarves, at best.

Orcs, trolls, fairies, succubi, minotaurs, and others who had intelligence but differed significantly from humans in appearance, language, and culture lynched humans as a group.

The Human Union, consisting of only a few races, began to crumble in an instant, and humans suffered unimaginable damage in the process. And it was me who reversed the situation.

[Massacre Magic]

After devouring Hiddnpeace and Giyeon for several years and risking death thousands of times, I acquired magical knowledge, items, and countless weapons. Using them, I even experimented on enemy soldiers, creating five devastating mass murder magics in the first year of the war.

Among them, the most notorious was Blood Shower.

It was a mass murder magic that used the blood of living organisms within a certain range to unleash a horrific attack. Due to the year-long battle, the land was saturated with the blood of tens of millions of organisms, and the power of the magic, which was soaked in all that blood, was truly overwhelming.

For several months, blood rained from the sky, and the organisms that were hit by the rain melted away. The blood shed by these melting organisms rose back to the sky, creating an even larger downpour, and during the months when Blood Shower was cast, an uncountable number of organisms died. The succubus alliance, which had been pushing with an overwhelming number of troops, also took flight with their tails between their legs, thanks to the influence of Blood Shower.

“Yes, a war broke out. And it is true that countless organisms died. However…”

If it weren’t for the deceitful acts of the succubi who used humans as captives and carried out horrific massacres, this war would never have happened in the first place.

It is not my intention to justify my slaughter. Borrowing the words of others, I am indeed the worst butcher in the history of mankind. However, I had no other choice. I had to kill others in order to stay alive. After all, the interspecies world war would not end until one of us gave up everything.

The Revenger later explained the reason for once again drawing his sword as follows:

Revenger – The United Alliance of Humanity has set an absurd war compensation for various species within the alliance, including succubi. If we were to pay all of this, even if we didn’t wage war, the impoverished races would all starve to death. The value of currency has been shattered, and we are in a situation where we cannot afford to support the low-income class. We have been pushed into a corner, and the only way is to invade and conquer the United Alliance of Humanity.

Love Peace – But if we start another war, many people will die! How about trying to negotiate with the United Alliance of Humanity? Maybe if we can persuade someone like McDelas, we can resolve it through dialogue…

I understand the circumstances, but this cannot be the true motivation for war, can it? After years of silence, to start a war now. There must be a reason.

As I continued to check the comments, I found the reason.

Love Peace – No matter how much I think about it, it’s hard to understand Revenger’s actions… Why on earth do you want to start a war all of a sudden? So many people will end up dead…

Revenger – No, the war will only proceed in one direction. We are currently concluding our research on McDelas’ mass slaughter magic, which we have collected internally. Since there is no one else who can see it anyway, I will honestly tell you. This is highly confidential, so you must not talk about it anywhere else.

Love Peace – I promise not to talk about the highly confidential part!

Revenger – According to our understanding, McDelas has five mass slaughter magics. We already know most of the effects, aside from Blood Shower. Their power is immense, but they all require a prerequisite: the corpses or blood of deceased living beings. The reason McDelas was able to exert such incredible power in the interspecies world war was because countless people had already died on the battlefield over the course of a year. Just as a machine cannot generate power without fuel, without corpses and blood, McDelas’ mass slaughter magic will greatly diminish in power. That is our hypothesis.

Revenger then posted a few photos.

“Damn… Is this what it has come to?”

[A portion of a restored research journal of a certain mage in action – EP.1 Dangers of Mass Slaughter Magic]

One of the screenshots he posted was from a research journal that I had recently posted on a ridiculing forum. He pointed to the screenshot and spoke.

Revenger – You, the administrator. I don’t know how you obtained this research journal, but it confirms the existence of McDelas, the slaughterer mentioned in our novel.

Love Peace – So… does that mean the administrator is McDelas?

Revenger – There is absolutely no way that a retard like you could be McDelas. It’s not a matter of possibility, it’s impossible. Anyone who has witnessed McDelas’ strategy, power, and charisma would agree with me. The most plausible scenario is that a slightly less retarded person ended up in the waste management facility because they couldn’t properly handle the garbage, and the administrator stumbled upon them. Perhaps the administrator became possessed in the same novel as me, becoming a beggar or a wanderer. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to engage in this kind of forum discussion.

“To call me a retarded person…? A beggar or a wanderer…?”

I am a person with intellect, after all. And now I live in a palace-like tower.

Stimulating the erogenous zones with electricity, testing vertical oscillatory motion with psychokinesis, 150 false snipes, an average of 300 posts per day, and an average of 1,500 comments. But no matter what, hearing those words made me uncomfortable.

But at the same time, I was fortunate. Revenger clearly thought of me as someone different from McDeath, and even regarded me as a non-threatening presence. Despite the fact that it would be impossible for him not to know that I could see, it wasn’t so bad to be treated like an idiot for making the mistake of not deleting the comment.

If Revenger had reached the hypothesis that the administrator was McDeath, he would have deleted the comment immediately instead of leaving it like this.

Revenger – Anyway, we were sure after looking at the research journals he provided. McDeath’s mass slaughter magic is threatening when the war is prolonged, but it’s not suitable for sieges. We just have to destroy it before it becomes prolonged. There were some uncertainties until now, but we were sure after seeing those research journals.

“Haah…”

Things turned out like this. I didn’t expect that sharing the research journals realistically to see the reaction of the board riot and the Ready Outside operator would result in this nuclear bomb.

But it’s okay.

In summary, in the end, that guy, after reading my research journals, found parts where he could supplement their research findings, confirmed the limitations of mass slaughter magic, and said he would attack using that gap.

It’s a reasonable story. Actually, my mass slaughter magic only works properly when there are numerous corpses and blood on the battlefield. Even after using it once, the aftermath is so severe that it cannot be used when the war breaks out reasonably. It’s ideal to wait until there are as many corpses and blood as possible and then explode them all at once.

But if those guys are attacking with the shortest possible war in mind, even if they win, they will have to endure tremendous damage.

“There’s a chance I might lose.”

But there was no problem.

From the moment my post was included in the basis for judging the war, it was as good as already won.

It’s time to use SNS tactics.

S: Instigation and

N: Fabrication

S: Let’s fight.

I immediately posted an article.

[Research Journal of a Realized Magician EP2. How to Use Magic Equivalent to a Nuclear Bomb Without Sacrifices. The Improvement Process of Mass Slaughter Magic.]

Exactly 10 minutes after posting the article.

As expected, someone took the bait.

[Revenger has written a secret comment on your post.]

revenger (Secret Comment) – Administrator, can we talk for a moment?

This is where the real battle begins.

From now on, the fate of humanity will be determined by my comment.
