Chapter 190 – Colossal Power (20)
“It’s so amazing. It’s so thin, weak, and light, yet so much warmer.”
“There are more than one interesting thing.”
A place where cold air stays all year round. For some, it’s just a glass-walled refrigerator, but for others, it’s a place to live.
That’s where Kara was taking a break after a long battle.
In the meantime, she couldn’t help but admire the woodlocks brought by some of her own people who were busy rebuilding the village without participating in the battle.
Just as the Inuit living in the polar regions do not live naked, even the snowflake clan living in the snowy mountains cannot survive exposed to the cold all day long. She had to find a way to keep warm and rest her entire body and mana when she was resting.
To them, things like woodlock and non-woven fabric were a kind of new material. It was not just a new material, but a perfect material that accurately and efficiently provided what they wanted.
“But Elder. As promised by the Forest Clan, the sky god is providing us with things, but there is still more to come. Right now, this frozen land is extremely devoid of life. We won’t be able to get food from the forest clan forever.”
Ryoon, a clan warrior and Kara’s aide, shook his head as he watched his fellow tribesmen make a house out of wood rock and non-woven fabric.
Certainly, new materials and the active support of the existing residents were a great help, but to be honest, it was a cold and dry place that I wouldn’t even look at if it wasn’t a place where I could revive the potted plant in the refrigerator, the world tree.
Unlike the World Tree of Eden, which managed a large number of flowerpots with its own power and reproduced the lush green forest, the Northern World Tree was not yet mature enough to affect the entire environment.
“In this situation, if we bring in more of our scattered kin, it may become even more difficult.”
“We just need a little more time. Still, I’m sure you’re not wrong. We still need more.”
Kara, who had been fiddling with her silver hair at his words, nodded her head with her anguished face. Unlike the forest clans, who lived in the barren north, their staple food was animals they had hunted and fish caught in the river, unlike the forest clans, who gathered food from the streams.
Things were unobtainable in the current situation. Besides, they couldn’t be satisfied simply living with the forest clan, who formed the greatest power inside Eden.
Like the dwarves, it was their will to find a way somehow.
“However, it is very important to bring back scattered people. We are worried about what happens to those who are left behind by the enemies around us, and more than anything else, we can gain more grace by properly concentrating and proving our strength.”
“I understand that the Queen has asked for help from the Elder regarding the upcoming war in the Great Forest.”
“Fortunately, I said that one help is enough. So Ryoon, while I’m away, you should lead the others well.”
Kara said he had no intention of taking on all the work himself. That customary idea was shattered the moment I was defeated and captured by the raiders who united in the past.
Ryoon, who was only an exceptional warrior in the village, was embarrassed to take on such a heavy responsibility, but soon nodded.
“The plan is to gather the scattered snowflakes and bring them back to Eden. I must have heard it last time.”
“As the reputation of Eden has already spread widely in the northern region where our hometown was, it is clear that the anger of the enemies who were angered by the last defeat will turn against our own people for no reason if time passes, so it is better to bring them before that. I thought it was a smart choice.”
The seat of the General Assembly where all the members of Eden are gathered. Kara stepped forward and informed everyone, including Serenian, of their plan. Although it was a matter of the Snowflake clan, the whole of Eden was entangled, so it could only be executed with the support of the General Assembly.

“The help of the dwarves is essential for this operation. Is it possible?”
After hearing the story, Serenian asked the dwarves who shared the same territory. The Snowflake clan, who had to refining their own ground right away and participate in the battle at the fortress, needed help to use their strength outside.
“It is possible. We will help.”
“As expected, they are different from those under the fallen Dwarven King.”
Aaron, the head of the dwarves who crossed over to Eden, declared that he would help. Kara smiled at his words.
He noticed that Aaron was conscious of what his people had done.
In the end, the plan was established through the meeting that day. The snowflake clan decided to send a small group of people to the snowy mountains in the north to gather the people scattered there and bring them back to Eden.
“Then what remains… is the coming war in the Great Forest.”
“It is a crisis in the great forest, but I am sure that it will be a turning point that will determine our future destiny.”
Satisfied with the outcome of the meeting, Kara mentioned the next agenda item. What Serenian answered with a rather stiff face was, of course, a story about a war that was gradually approaching in detail.

‘Is it okay if I get some fur and cut it into small pieces? From their point of view, the hair is taller than their height, so it’s rather a handshake.’
I was staring blankly into the refrigerator, passing my time with futile thoughts.
The reason I see the snowflakes in the fridge more than anywhere else is because they recently migrated and show a more dynamic look. As expected, it is fun to watch them use the trivial and small things I gave them diligently.
Right now, in the meeting room prepared in the bonsai pot, all the key figures in the potted world were having a meeting, but honestly, it wasn’t much fun watching the meeting that I couldn’t even hear. Anyway, you can listen to the contents through Serenian or Pia.
But as a result of a quick glance now, I can’t hear it through Pia. Because I’m sleeping with my head down.
“Are you saying you’d rather increase your influence because you can’t avoid it?”
[I think it’s a reasonable way]
Of course, I actually knew what they were skeptical about and what Serenian was talking about.
The same goes for the wind spirits who inadvertently intervene. Only I can communicate with him, but he listens anyway.
“It makes sense. Rather, it is a way to deter war by showing off power that no one can ignore.”
I laughed and chewed on Serenian’s thoughts. Starting with this war, Serenian said that Eden and the great forest would be faced with countless challenges and pressures, but rather than that, he said that he would explode explosively when attacked first and show them his strength.
It was a calculation that if he stood tall as a force to be reckoned with, he would not dare to touch it hastily.
I was definitely not wrong. It wasn’t really a new strategy. It is not for nothing that many countries on the modern Earth react sensitively to nuclear bombs.
If Eden could become a nuclear bomb itself, it seemed feasible enough.
‘Now that this has happened, should I actively help? What if I get drunk?’
The reason why the conflict arose in my mind was that I was divided between whether I should actively support and support Serenian’s thoughts, or whether I should watch and wait as I am now.
If you apply while actively using points or whatever, perhaps the forces of Eden, whose war technology is already developing, might become stronger.
However, I wondered if they would be able to shake off the various responsibilities and temptations that come with that strong power. If you go out of the pot right away, my eyes and strength won’t reach.
On the other hand, if I watch as I am now, I am free from responsibility. Whether their choice fails or succeeds, I can protect the world in the pot.
[Contrary to your appearance, you have a cowardly temperament]
“What dude?”
But at that moment, the wind spirit’s blow became a shock to my conflict.
[Even when I warned you about the Pandemonium, you backed away saying it wasn’t your business. It is the same this time. You seem to be trying to find your own reasons and grounds, but it seems to me that you are just trying to evade]
“I know the weight well. Responsibility is not something you take lightly. If I can’t stand it, I and everyone around me will die.”
[Do you think I don’t know that? Whether Ersilla failed or succeeded, he never backed down. Even at the cost of one’s own life […]
“I didn’t even see her face. Don’t keep mentioning it.”
I didn’t feel comfortable. The wind spirit was just talking without knowing anything, but in fact, it wasn’t wrong.
Serenian, knowing what the inhabitants of the potted world want, but using their self-righteousness as a shield, trying to slip away quietly is a problem I have not yet solved.
[I don’t lie]
“Yes, you would.”
It is true that my heart was greatly shaken. Am I possibly blocking the path of the residents by ‘maintaining only the reality’ wriggling in the flower pot and ‘fearing the change and future’ that has occurred through connection with the outside world?
“Is it time right now?”
I gnashed my teeth as I fiddled with the walkie-talkie. It was time for me to leave as well. Just do both Believing that you can do enough if you hold on to your wallet circumstances.
