Chapter 46: Coup d’état



It seemed that the emergence of an adversary wasn’t as simple as I thought. It didn’t appear immediately. Well, if it were that easy, it wouldn’t be the will of the universe but rather the interference of an Outer Gody.

For now, I’ll leave that side as it is and take a look at the situation in the original universe.

[Alright, let’s go.]

Oh, it seems Yujin has finished gathering his companions. The group consists of four members in total.

The protagonist, Yujin.

Kon Arche, a fellow Teran and an adventurer who traveled the universe enjoying his freedom.

…?

Why did that guy join the group?

Maybe he had some dissatisfaction with the Galactic Union’s methods?

[Hehe, traveling with you is full of exciting adventures. It’s a real thrill!]

Hmm, it seems he joined simply because he liked Yujin. He doesn’t seem to have any particular thoughts about the Galactic Union or the Lubaran tribe. It looks like he doesn’t care whether they fall or not, as long as he’s having fun.

Well, he was the type to approach a supernova explosion just to watch it up close. He even documented his encounters with Outer God that would drive others insane. I remember chasing him away when he came near the Elf planet before.

Another member is a rough-looking woman dressed in revealing clothes—hot pants and a tank top. Her slightly pink skin and green eyes suggest she might be a descendant of the Lorian tribe.

The Lorian tribe, which refused to join the Galactic Union and was subsequently targeted and annihilated by the Lubaran tribe. Judging by her rough appearance and the skull tattoo on her arm, symbolizing piracy, she seemed to be a space pirate.

Yujin, this guy, even recruited a space pirate. Or perhaps, since he’s planning to overthrow the Galactic Union and take down the Lubaran tribe, it makes sense to ally with a space pirate. Especially if that pirate is a victim of the Lubaran tribe’s genocide, the setup is perfect.

[Are you sure about this, young master?]

[Stop calling me young master. I’m a discarded son anyway.]

The last member of the group was surprisingly a Lubaran. He was one of the sons of a Lubaran elder, almost like a prince. However, due to his father’s numerous illegal activities and suspicious behavior, he became disillusioned. While wandering after leaving home, he met Yujin and decided to betray his father and withdraw from the Galactic Union.

A famous adventurer interested in the protagonist, a heroine with a painful past, and a young master who betrayed the villain. Wow, the composition of the companions is straight out of a classic shonen manga.

It’s refreshing to see such a classic setup after being used to protagonists who are either solo powerhouses or have comedic sidekicks. Though, ability-wise, it still feels like the protagonist is the main powerhouse.

In any case, with Elder Jupiter and his followers, along with the forces gathered separately, it seemed like a sizable group was forming. Is this the real beginning?

Overthrowing the Galactic Union…!

Damn, I originally planned to raise the elves for this. But that would have taken at least 500 to 1,000 years. I was thinking too much from my own perspective. For ordinary life forms, that’s an unimaginably long time.

Maybe it’s because I’ve become a being for whom time has no meaning, but my sense of time has become blurred. After all, it’s been several years since I transformed from a human to an Outer God, even by Galactic Union standards. Several years? How many years has it been?

…Hmm, I don’t know. Strangely, while everything else is perfectly stored in my mind, my memories of my past life are oddly hazy. Now, I only remember that I was once human. I wonder if, eventually, my personality and everything else will disappear, and I’ll become a complete Outer God.

“Grandpa Jupiter!”

“Welcome back, Yujin.”

About a year had passed. Yujin had been diligently gathering companions to support his cause, and Elder Jupiter had been making various preparations during that time. When they reunited, both seemed quite pleased with the results, meeting each other with joyful faces.

“Kon Arche. I didn’t expect to see you again like this.”

“Long time no see, Elder Jupiter. Ah, though we’ve often met through communications, so perhaps it’s not that long?”

“Hahaha, I enjoyed your book. ‘Things I Encountered in the Universe,’ right?”

Yujin’s interview at the Magic Tournament and several previous meetings had already brought Kon Arche and Elder Jupiter together. Nevertheless, it had been quite a while since they met in person, so they greeted each other warmly.

“Is this the first time we’re meeting in person? Well, nice to meet you.”

“Yes, nice to meet you, Celine. I never thought I’d see a living Lorian again.”

Celine of the Lorian tribe greeted him awkwardly. Initially, she disliked Elder Jupiter simply because he was an elder of the Union. However, through Yujin’s persuasion and conversations with Elder Jupiter, she realized he was a good person. Despite this, her past resentment towards Union elders made the interaction slightly uncomfortable.

Elder Jupiter, aware of her feelings, treated her gently to ease her awkwardness and tension.

“Elder Jupiter.”

“Kotritas. I suppose I don’t need to call you ‘young master’ anymore.”

“Hahaha…”

Kotritas, the youngest of the three sons of Lubaran elder ‘Ocatalo,’ also felt awkward. Even Elder Jupiter seemed a bit uneasy around him, his voice slightly trembling.

With the arrival of Elder Jupiter’s apprentice, Lowie Hendrick, the entire group was finally assembled.

“I’ll explain once more. Currently, the Lubaran tribe has created a secret laboratory beneath the Galactic Union headquarters. There, they capture and dissect numerous species to understand their structures and conduct various human experiments.”

The Lubaran tribe’s secret laboratory. Under the guise of protection, they managed various life forms, including those they had driven to extinction like the Lorian tribe. They even captured members of thriving species within the Galactic Union, such as the Teran and Meias tribes.

“They aim to discover the unique traits and knowledge of these species, assimilate them, and achieve greater advancements.”

As he spoke, Elder Jupiter played a hard-to-obtain CCTV footage of the laboratory.

[Groooan…]

[Gasp, gasp…]

The footage showed various intelligent life forms, including Terans, Meias, Lorians, and other protected species, captured and twisted into grotesque forms, writhing in immense pain. In front of them, Lubaran researchers casually observed and took notes on their tablets.

“…These scum.”

Elder Jupiter, recognizing the scene, ground his teeth in anger.

“Though I heard about it through communications, seeing the actual footage is horrifying.”

“My father did this…?”

“Ugh…!”

“Celine! Are you okay?”

Though they had heard about it, seeing the footage in person left them speechless. Kon Arche seemed quite shocked, and Kotritas, unable to believe his father was involved in such atrocities, turned pale. Celine, recalling painful memories, even retched.

“We don’t need to see any more. This will convince the other elders and the species of the Union.”

Yujin said as he turned off the footage. Though he had gathered his companions for a purpose, he had grown fond of them and didn’t want them to suffer by watching such painful scenes.

“Now we have a clear justification and a solid plan. When the general Lubaran population sees this, public opinion will turn against the elders, and we’ll only need to deal with the elders and a few soldiers.”

“But they won’t acknowledge it.”

At Elder Jupiter’s words, Yujin smiled faintly.

“That’s why we gathered our allies with the intention of using force. And we also told Grandpa Jupiter to gather his forces well.”

Once this is over, the elders of the Meias tribe are set to oust the Lubaran tribe and take control. This is because Yujin and his companions lack the reputation and justification to become the leaders of the Union.

Yujin, at least, has the title of the magic tournament winner and the reputation of being a rare magical genius from the Teran tribe. However, he doesn’t have the fame or justification to suddenly push out the Lubaran tribe and take their place.

Kon Arche, although famous throughout the universe, is just a Teran adventurer. Celine is a former space pirate. The only one with some justification is Kotritas, the son of a Lubaran elder, but no one in their right mind would give the position to a relative of an elder who conducted such horrific experiments and committed numerous corrupt acts.

Thus, the only ones with both fame and justification are the elders of the Meias tribe, including Elder Jupiter. That’s why Yujin decided to put them forward.

Of course, the ultimate power will lie with Elder Jupiter as the chairman of the council of elders. His decisions will essentially be influenced by Yujin, making Yujin the de facto leader of the Galactic Union.

This was their plan… Yujin’s plan.
