140 Episodes – Tip of the Iceberg (8)
“Chief?”
“I’ve got to see you for a while. It’s an important … matter.”
“Oh, yes! I see.”
The soldier standing on the guard saluted his words and moved away.
With a slightly awkward smile, Richard shook his body for a moment, then used his authority to open the locked door and go inside.
Pires, who was standing behind him, felt complicated and subtle.
In the end, he infected Richard and made him the same as him, but somehow Richard understood the situation quickly unlike himself.
‘It’s more like…’
Its reckless appearance made it seem as if he was actively cooperating with the enemy instead of being forced to be manipulated like himself.
However, it was difficult to ascertain its authenticity. In the first place, Eve didn’t even allow the spies Richard and Pires to talk to each other.
“This is the warp engine of this Retique. At the same time, it is the 9th-generation warp engine that is the latest in the Federation.”
‘Stay close.’
“Is it possible? Is it possible to understand the dream technology of this warp engine just by looking at it?!”
Richard was rather excited about the subject being manipulated by Eve and started talking.
“What is the real identity? There must be a separate body. Zenith, which makes military nanomachines, was destroyed in units of units, and this is…wow.”
It was so bad that Eve covered her mouth.
But his eyes continued to twinkle. Pires, who was watching it, of course, even Eve stuck out her tongue.
‘It will be useful.’
In any case, Eve used the power of Richard, currently ranked fifth on the ship, to search all records of the warp engine and even see the real thing.
Eve decided that even if it was impossible to develop this further, it was possible to make it the same or to modify it a little.
“A proposal, I have a proposal for you, an unknown alien creature. If you are intelligent and have rational thinking, you will appreciate its value, right?”
‘Don’t be arrogant. You are just a tool. Still, I’ll say it’s useful. It would be better to stay quiet for a while.’
Still, busy with important things to take care of, Eve turned down Richard’s proposal, excited.
But Richard’s eyes were still shining even though Eve refused to listen to his offer.

“Now that we’ve got everything we’ve got, we’re going to build our fortress in all-weather conditions.”
The actual home of Redrium.
Here, as soon as Eve got the information she was looking for, she went on to work once again. The design had already been completed.
Of course, this is the first attempt, and unlike the past, it was not made with Eve’s own ability.
Because this was more like a kind of construction rather than a production to create a part of the Legion.
Eve moved the root of the huge divine tree that had been prepared in advance.
Even compared to the surrounding area where the nest was laid, this sacred tree is only a few hundred meters thick. Its height was also close to km.
The divine tree, which reached a size that could only be reached when the moonlight fairies flourished on the ground, was larger than its gigantic body, and using many roots, it held the entire land in its grasp to the deep ground.
“Pick it up.”
Eve mobilized legionnaires with the ability to dig into the ground around the tree and began to remodel the inside.
The energy to build dozens of hulls was used only to lift this huge and heavy land. And if you go to space anyway, propulsion doesn’t matter.
Soon, the whole land on which Eve stood in front of the divine tree began to shake.
An earthquake occurred and the ground cracked and slowly lifted upwards.
It was not the size of the continent that Eve had promised. However, it was definitely the size of a small town.
“Although I’m happy with one now, not later.”
Eve, who muttered blankly, watched as the ground she was standing on was slowly rising to the sky.
Even at this moment, the interior of the ground covered with the roots of the divine tree was still being remodeled.
The principle, structure, conditions, etc. of the warp engine discovered by the Federation.
Eve converted them all into a corps style and applied them to this invading fortress.
It looks like a flying island, and the deepest part of it, where it is thoroughly protected, is a deformed facility similar to a battleship that rises higher and comes into contact with the clouds.
Warping in the atmosphere also causes damage to the ground, so we had to go up to space.
Dozens of ships to warp together began to gather around us.
Eve tilted her head and looked up. The blue sky has already passed.
Now it was dark all around, and countless twinkling stars began to appear. The momentum, which had soared at a frightening speed, also subsided as it escaped gravity.
“Barrier operation.”
The divine tree moved its shape power and surrounded the dark red shield that surrounded the entire fortress. Of course, it was to protect the nest spread out above in the space environment as well as the enemy’s attack.
“Now ready to warp.”
Warp attempted for the first time in Legion history.
This gigantic fortress, which could never be moved by the gate, began preparing for the warp.
The destination is Eve’s hometown, where the corps commanders Kang Do-yeon and Raina reside, and the land that has been recently reclaimed. The coordinates to be used in the warp were already observed by the enemies.
I was planning to pick up one of the two there and warp again in the middle of the enemy line.
“Warp, start.”
Soon after, the first warp of the corps was attempted.
Following Eve’s muttering blankly, the power of form exploded from within.
Its structure is the same as the warp engine of the federation referenced, but its size, which was raised to the maximum, was several dozen times more. The energy used there is also different, but the investment was worth it.
“…success.”
For a short while, the bursting light enveloped the fortress, and soon after the light was removed, the fortress was left floating with the hulls floating around with the characteristic silence of outer space.
However, the planet beneath it has changed from the outside.
Not the barren, red-brown land covered with the Legion’s nest, but a land that still has blue-green colors.
It was the second planet he would eat.
‘You have succeeded.’
A group of ships began to approach the fortress from afar. Reina, who had given up after chasing Liam’s fleet, who had fled, was coming here with the ships.
“Since our information is already in, we’re going to hit their stronghold right now.”
“Okay. But there are still remnants of them around this planet.”
“That’s Kang Do-yeon, you’re in charge. Because those losers won’t last long anyway.”
Eve shared the power. Kang Do-yeon nodded at Eve’s finger pointing at her.
“And Reina. You go. You go, do the most damage to them.”
And he gave Reina these invading fortresses and ships.
Kill as many humans as possible, it was a mission that Reina really wanted.
“I wonder if you’re not going to go out on your own.”
“…the work on Earth isn’t over yet. So I’ll focus on the less important ones.”
Eve looked down at the ground.
took over the universe. Enemies don’t even have the strength to open the gate. Literally a rat in poison. There was very little chance of interference.
For Eve now, it was more important to set up a major on Earth than to deal with those little dwarves.
“Now move.”
Eve and Kang Do-yeon jumped out of the fortress.

Moments far enough away, the fortress attempted to warp with the surrounding ships.A flash of bright enough to press the sunlight for a moment. After that, there was nothing left in that space.
‘The remaining ships, can you attack?’
‘…I do not know. I should try.’
‘I read all the information of the Federation and judged it based on it, and their abilities are quite considerable.’
Eve, who floated in outer space together, informed Kang Do-yeon, who was assigned to another mission, what level of Liam’s fleet was.
At first, Liam was an outstanding person whose name was known as dangerous to the League.
‘Then do you plan on bringing him in?’
‘Well, I don’t know. Will he really refuse to be more perfect? would you agree Being useful doesn’t mean you can be a part of me. You have to be wholeheartedly loyal to me and be able to move for us, otherwise it’s rather inefficient.’
It was Eve’s judgment that the force needed to respond to the ever-increasing and frequent naval warfare.
But if it had been in the past, he would have learned to do everything on his own.
However, Eve, who was constantly feeling the absurdly effective rolling of subminds efficiently, was now looking for a more convenient way.
‘Do you… trust us?’
‘You sound weird. You are a part of me too.’
Eve snorted at Kang Do-yeon’s words. But she did not agree with Eve.
Obviously, Eve’s stance has changed.
‘But I have no intention of using people who reject themselves and are not helpful. Find out once.’
‘…Okay. I’ll meet him once.’
Kang Do-yeon nodded her head for a moment. But really, I wasn’t expecting much.
Unlike Eve, who already knew that she was the winner and relaxed, from Liam’s point of view, she was just a monster. A monster that kills his subordinates and threatens the world.
It was a completely different case from Shinwoo’s younger brother, Raina, who was reborn out of hatred for humans and himself.
It was unlikely that normal communication or persuasion would be possible if I met him face-to-face.
