138 Tue – Tip of the Iceberg (6)
“Shut up…”
‘Don’t pretend to be strong. you’re afraid To die, to be sick.”
“you…”
‘Nothing.’
While all who were to die died and only a few managed to escape, the ship Psyseker, now only corpses and bloodstained, was quiet.
There, Eve was stomping on the body of Aiden, whose arm had been cut off by a slash, looking down and smirking. revenge was successful.
Still, Aiden knew nothing. Because the mask that Eve wore has no expression whatsoever.
However, I was able to feel it intuitively as I spread the energy so openly.
The fact that this monster with a female body, trampling on and looking down at her dying blood now, is looking down on her.
“Go away… Dirty, you worm…”
He grunted his teeth with bloodstained eyes and groaned while holding onto Eve’s ankle as he vomited blood. But there’s no way he’ll ever be able to shake off that tough monster’s feet.
‘dare.’
“Ahh, ahhh!”
Rather, Eve grabbed Aiden’s head and lifted it up.
His skull began to crumble as he screamed. Still, Eve didn’t stop.
It was meant to kill him so horribly and thoroughly.
‘Let’s end this quickly, Eve. I should go somewhere else. We don’t have much time on Earth.’
CNU held Eve like that and dried it.
Eve stood idly for a moment, then let go of her hand. Aiden wriggled and moaned on the floor, then stopped breathing.
‘That’s right. First of all, this ship must be moved in its entirety, and the rest must be finished.’
Eve quickly lost interest in Aiden.
Then he moved and headed outside.
Since the rebel coalition’s fleet has already fled to space, only tragic remains remain here.
The wreckage of the crashed ships left the ground in ruins, and even the ships floating in the air had long been occupied by legionnaires.
“It’s okay. The space fleet.”
Eve, who took off the mask, looked up at the sky and sighed. There was still a chase going on there.
The ships led by Raina and Kang Do-yeon are persistently chasing the enemies.
But you probably won’t be able to follow it to the end.
Due to the characteristics of a living ship, the energy efficiency was not as good as that of a machine. There was also a limit to increasing the size.
In the end, it had to evolve in a different direction to confront the giants that humans boasted about.
They weren’t the types that were made for the purpose of long-term sailing in the first place, so I had no intention of continuing to catch the tail.
“And now we’ve got the offer. The rest of us just have to take it slow.”
‘They must have called for assistance.’
“Even if you call Jiwon, you can’t come. Shall we just watch for now? How and how ugly they run.”
Eve smiled leisurely as if she had something in mind in advance.
Now, from that blue sky, there was no one who could stop him from returning from this earth.
[…]
But Eve wasn’t the only one watching them.

“…”
At a time when massacres on the ground and chases in space were taking place.
He was looking at something else. Two beings on the outer deck of the occupied Saiseker.
Both were the ones he always had to watch. There was only him and the screen that projected them in this dimly lit room.
“You’ll be very comfortable.”
“What do you mean?”
“The unit takes care of everything. From player care to self-development.”
“You’re joking. What does that mean?”
“…ha, that’s right.”
Another man approached behind him, hunched over on the sofa at his cold reaction.
The face of the man who came to visit was covered with a plain mask.
And it was the same with him. Only the glowing red eyes beneath the mask were looking at those whom he had to watch without missing a single moment.
“Still, isn’t it better than the one who has a strong ego on both sides and has a hard time taking the initiative?”
The man who looked at him opened his mouth. He didn’t bother responding.
“I’d rather…”
“I know how wary you are with me and them.”
However, as the man continued to open his mouth, he finally spoke a word and made the man’s mouth shut.
“Ah, no, I don’t know about the others, but I…”
“Of course I don’t want the result of everything being ruined. Of course, I also don’t want the game to be reset any more. Now, please see the end.”
He gave a resolute answer without giving the opponent a chance to ask questions.
The man who had been looking at the back of his head as if it was absurd clicked his tongue and shook his head.
He didn’t turn his back, even for this moment.
“Everyone is feeling skeptical. Because nothing has changed. A useless player with no skills and just struggling. On the other hand, a unit that explodes its potential like crazy. In the end, the unit took the initiative. You only have one chance to bet, and the unit that consumes the brake will eventually become an unstoppable runaway locomotive, and it will turn the game upside down again.”
“The future is still unknown.”
“…if you go like this, you’ll understand.”
“I believe in him.”
“Yeah. ‘You’ will believe ‘He.’
The man sighed and got up from his seat and left the room. Still, he was just staring at the screen without moving a little.
It wasn’t true that the man who had just left was wrong.
After the unit was awakened, his influence was greatly reduced.
The unit could virtually completely replace all the roles that only a spectator could do.
In addition, the unprecedented situation in which the player and the unit become one, even more so.
Gradually, the frequency of talking to both sides decreased, and the number of steps was decreased, and he was literally becoming faithful to his role as a spectator.
The situation was different from those of others who did not hesitate to actively intervene using expedient methods.
‘Incompetent. powerless It is nothing.’
He looked at the player he had to watch.
Like the unit at one time when it was just a mass of cells in the bottom of the underground labyrinth, the current player was nothing.
He was just one of those common and widespread humans.
It was also a problem that the unit we were connected with was a race that had only one potential in our hands.
It was highly likely that the great imbalance would eventually lead to the collapse after the growth of the country.
‘A broken balance, a twisted intervention, a wrong meeting twisted from the start. Nevertheless, there is only one conclusion.’
But he couldn’t abandon the player. In the end, I had no choice but to walk away from everyone’s concerns and worries and try again this time with the struggling player.
When I walked into the unit, it was always the same ruin. The unit ate everything and finally ate this game.
However, when I tried it on the player, it still showed slightly different results each time. The end was the same as the ruin of everyone, but that faint variable was the only hope.
At least he believed so. It was meant to be like this in the first place. So this time too, the player who no one cares about now has led them to increase their influence over the unit.
[The fleet of the fleeing men moves away]
“I know. Then… it would be better to come back for now.”
The unit murmured as he watched and delivered his voice.
Now, a unit that has been kicked out of the designated world for a while will come back and become the winner of the world, and will be able to gain new powers as the representative unit.
“There’s no reason to delay. We’re going to devour this land again right now.”
Finally, he succeeded in driving out the annoying enemies. And Eve succeeded in returning to this land again on her own feet.
But this world, which was once a purpose in itself, is now just an intermediate base.
We planned to expand further by using this as our second base.
‘It’s preventing them from sending aid. What do you mean?’
“Since I quit acting and revealed my true nature, the news of us should have already been known. Attacking is the best defense, so we’ll attack their planet first.”
‘…how?’
“I love warp technology.”
Eve lost her appetite.
The currently acquired gate-related technology had clear limitations. It was necessary to know the coordinates of the destination, and it took a lot of force to maintain the size and number.
The warp technique is also not completely flawless, but it seemed to maximize its power if used harmoniously with the gate.
‘Then, how do you get that warp skill?’
“Of course, if you look at the captured ships, you can find out their coordinates, but those are the coordinates used for warp… Fortunately, we have an excellent source of information.”
Eve, who quickly finished the calculation to Shinwoo’s question, quickly came up with an answer.
Warp-related technology is a very complex and difficult technology that belongs to the Federation as well.
There’s no way anyone in the rebel coalition’s outer headquarters knows about it. They just write what they’ve made.
So, even if Eve ripped open the ship and looked at it, it couldn’t be reproduced.
However, in fact, the Legion had only one informant who could be deeply involved in the Federation.
‘If you move too much Pires, you are more likely to be suspicious.’
“It doesn’t matter. It’s enough to switch to guys with higher authority.”
Eve once again gave the order to Researcher Pires.
