236 Tues – Subtle Balance (6)

“Well, I understand Eve’s method to some extent. If you can farm food, there’s no reason not to do it.”

“That’s right. By nature, a hero is something that is raised and eaten.”

“…”

I licked my mouth and shut it again. Richard and Ramon. I didn’t come here to discuss these guys with missing screws.

“What’s the matter? Rather, isn’t it fortunate that Eve’s violent expansion has been quieted down?”

“Eve will surely grow. Whether it’s harvest or competition. When that growth crosses a critical point, balance, whatever it is, the universe will perish at Eve’s hands.”

I frowned at Richard’s words. I didn’t want you to know how I felt, but even with the predictable data, I’d be able to spot Eve’s behavior.

“Well… I think you’re overestimating Eve, as I, a relatively recent member of the Legion, know as much as I can. And I’ve decided. Now, the gap between Eve and other factions isn’t that big.”

“Eve has always grown dramatically in situations like this. In any case.”

He shook his head, unable to agree with Ramon’s words.

From the creatures of the labyrinth, the Annihilation Bacteria, the wizard council on the ground, and even the forces that have collided in space.

It is rare for Eve to be crushed from the start with overwhelming force. Fierce fights and competitions. Through it, he defeated his opponent and became stronger.

Having seen them all, I was afraid of Eve. Because no matter how hard I try, I’ve become something that I can’t get my hands on.

“The history of the Legion is definitely data that exists… But there is something you forgot.”

“Did I forget?”

Richard opened his mouth again with a slightly calmer voice. And when I heard that, I couldn’t help but ask.

Suddenly, a screen appeared in my eyes. The image of the army fighting a fierce war.

The Legionnaires who infiltrated the Alliance’s giant ship, Zakov, are fighting with the defense forces to bring down the system one by one, or even the fight between the Alliance’s Hunters who infiltrated Submind Liam’s flagship.

That wasn’t Eve’s power. It was different from the side of the Federation, who fought desperately for their lives.

“I don’t think I’ve forgotten anything. Eve is already playing on the board she made.”

“I have to be right. It’s the ‘first’ version that you made yourself. It’s the version you made without the help of the player. I know your young daughter is anxious about trying to become independent, but the influence you’ve created won’t go away so easily.”

Ramon chuckled and laughed. Hearing his words, I was momentarily shocked and lost.

“Without my help, only on your own?”

“I knew the history of the Legion. However, in its short and turbulent history, there is no place without your intervention. Before you became Hivemind, Eve was influenced by you when you were swayed by Eve.”

“That’s right. To be honest, I think it’s right to think that Eve’s power is still unknown.”

While I was numb, even Richard agreed with Ramon’s words.

“Bah, that’s hard to accept.”

“It’s true. So you’re not afraid of Eve, you’re right. No one knows the future. Who will be the winner or the loser, whether we will succeed or fail is everything.”

Ramon muttered blankly with a look that seemed to have been liberated from somewhere. Come to think of it, Ramon must have been through something similar.

The only difference is that he raised a hero like that and was reversed at the last moment.

“…I don’t think that’s wrong.”

“Yeah. So we’re not going to sit around like this, we’ve got to take our own actions.”

When I admitted it, he nodded. Like a fighting ghost, it was encouraging them to fight anywhere.

“That’s right, brother.”

And that moment. Another intervened here.

“You don’t have to worry too much. So we just have to keep getting stronger.”

“Are you feeling competitive with Eve’s sub-mind, including Cha Ji-yeon?”

“…Say yes. In any case, we must have the strength to intervene in whatever path Eve takes.”

Kang Do-yeon avoided my eyes. After the battle with Ramon, the guy who woke up to his fighting instincts now had no hesitation in fighting, unlike before when he had subtle hesitation.

“On the expedition, we only send Reina…”

“Because Reina already has a lot of experience as a conqueror. Anyway, I get it. I think we can change the policy.”

He laughed bitterly as he grumbled as to why Reina was sent alone to the hometown of the Cheongsan tribe. Anyway, it was right to say that staying still like this would be detrimental.

After all, me and all of us are corps. Beings that cannot stand still. They were those who had to pursue endless growth and gluttony.

“While Eve continues to quarrel with the Alliance area, the Alliance is about to move again. Kasaras is still recovering strength, so we check the Alliance and turn our gaze away.”

“Ah. It’s finally war.”

Ramon put on a mask and killed him. It was a little unsatisfying, but the commander role can be played remotely by Richard.

“Okay. You two go.”

I decided to send Kang Do-yeon and Ramon.

Sending the two of them together at the level of a tank destroyer might take a while. However, its force and destructive power are certain, at least enough for guerrillas.

‘This time, we can follow Eve’s way.’

I smiled faintly at the sudden thought. Growth through deliberate struggle and competition. ‘Cause there’s nothing we can’t say

*

‘You first?’

‘You were the one who frowned for help, Eve. As always, as if I was giving you ants and other specimens.’

‘Hey, when was that story!?’

Eve was taken aback by Shinwoo’s notification. It was a mysterious feeling in which joy and irritation coexist, and CNU could feel it intact.

‘You’re sad, but you’re happy.’

‘ね…’

‘No way, you can’t get away from me.’

Eve had never hid herself from him until now. After failing to control his emotions and gaining confidence in the way Eve showed his true feelings, he became a little more explicit.

‘Let’s fight together. As always, as it is now.’

He had already hit Eve in the back of the head once, and he comforted Eve without blinking an eye.

Eve could not refuse the request. It was impossible to refuse.

As if Ramon and Richard and other sub-minds, who could be called strangers, all agreed, it was not easy for the young daughter to become independent from her father.

‘Shhh… Kill them all! Neutralize all of Jakov!’

Eve turned her attention back to the battlefield.

The target site is inside a ship where a fierce battle is currently taking place. There, the legionaries who are now trying to destroy the ship are fighting with the insiders who are desperately resisting.

“For sure, be sure to shoot it!”

The soldiers armed with firearms did their best to stop the legionaries.

There was no other reason why they were so desperate. As for other ships, this gigantic ship, Zakov should never be captured.

Once used as a tool for internal power struggles, Zakov is now the hope of the entire League. An invincible ship that will never be defeated. Because he knows the hope the name gives to those caught up in the war.

‘…Those little ones have no nutritional value. Just kill them all.’

Eve looked at them and issued a ruthless slaughter order.

Eve’s desired growth was conditional on more than a certain amount of power. Normal soldiers didn’t even pay attention to them, even if they showed transcendent power or mental power beyond their limits.

‘It’s unnecessarily hard.’

“Upper class! Upper class! Warrior type!”

In order to reduce the loss of troops, Eve placed one of the higher ranks directly controlled by the front of the defense force.

A high-ranking warrior who wields a sword with four arms and attacks anomalously with its tail.

Even with the monsters out of this standard that drew their swords and rushed, the soldiers succumbed to evil did not back down and continued to focus their firepower.

‘Stupid bastards.’

Eve scoffed at them, slashing them, wielding her tail and sword. Their attack did not even break the barrier. In other words, it was meaningless resistance.

“Block the area! And blow it away!”

A soldier, who was bleeding from a large cut ship, shouted a whale whale at the communicator. As I expected, I couldn’t catch even a fleeting moment, so I was thinking of mobilizing the last resort.

The situation room, which had been watching all the sights, closed its eyes tightly in bitterness.

“Secondary blockade! And destroy it!”

In the end, according to the command of the area admiral, the area where the superior species was located was completely sealed off. And before the legionaries could leave the place, they struck and destroyed it by themselves from the outside.

The higher species were sucked into space along with the other legionaries.
