145 Tue-Invaders (5)
I did see hope. The powerful blow created by the collaboration of the space fleet’s weapons and local magic succeeded in dropping an enemy that seemed impossible to confront.
But that was all. The situation is so unfavorable.
The true strength of the enemies was not the few strong. A legion in such a large number that it covers the earth and the sky of this world.
Liam, who was watching inside, and Austin, who was standing with a cane, looked ahead and sighed.
‘Stop it.’
At Eve’s command, tens of millions of large and small flying bells filled the sky and attacked the site with the hulls.
A fight with no end in sight. However, unlike the Legion without any hesitation, humans were exhausted both physically and mentally.
This new species of several tens of meters, created by combining the data of the acquired polyp with the genes of the flying bluesailfish, had an elongated body resembling a scaled moray fish or cutlassfish swimming in the sky.
It was created to act as a type of artillery that moves in the sky like a creeping earth dragon. They support the firepower of the corps with their mouth-bombing beam cannons, and along with the hulls, they break the barriers of human ships and put legionnaires into them.
“Captain… we can’t take them off.”
“We should be ready to fight. But you saw hope, Amy. Somewhere in the universe, there are people who will fight those monsters with us. Together with them, we can do it. Humanity will not lose.”
Liam muttered and grabbed a large gun.
It was already Abigail Hwan around. The frigates they were with were either exploding or falling one by one, covered with monsters, and there were only three enemy ships attached to the commander by extending their tentacles.
“Deputy Captain. Set the self-destruct timer.”
“Power chamber overload setting complete.”
“Then let’s go now.”
He deliberately overloaded the command ship’s engine room and left the command room with his armed men. With their mouths shut, they headed towards where Austin was standing outside.
“Jingle jingle, really.”
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and frowned.
There was no place without monsters. It was like being in a forest full of monsters. Immediately above his head, the ship with its tentacles extended was shooting beams from a distance to completely destroy the ship’s barrier.
“So. What are those guys again?”
“When there was a microscopic crack in the shield of the previous ship. They infiltrated there.”
Liam’s gaze turned to the front, this time toward the function. New enemies were standing in the place where the Black Wings fell with a blow of conversion. All of his subordinates stood firm and aimed their guns.
“First of all, I’m… a guy I’ve never seen before. It hasn’t been reported.”
“It has appeared a few times in our data. It’s just a very small amount, but it’s not important now. Looking at it anyway, it seems like it’s a commanding entity that we classified as a general manager.”
Liam grinned at Austin’s nervous words and loaded the gun.
Another humanoid monster standing still and looking at them beyond the mask that glowed with red eyes.
Its appearance, with no wings, and thick black hair hanging down almost to the sacrum, had not been known in detail until now.
“It’s our enemy.”
After taking a deep breath, Liam pulled the trigger first.
“Shoot!”
“Shoot it!”
After that, the other crew members and Austin also attacked the enemy with magic.
‘Will it work?’
Liam continued to pull the trigger.
The opponent deflected all the attacks using a dark red barrier. Of course, these guns are deceitful. The truth is, the railgun who left the gunner in case there was still one shot left would do it.
Austin and he exchanged glances for a fleeting moment.
“Now!”
Austin once again launched a magic booster in the air.
The bullet of the fired railgun passed through the amplification circle once again, absorbing the magic power and becoming a single ray of light.
Its power is the power to pierce through the barriers of beings with the strongest output to mass ratio in the current corps.
This time, without any hindrance, they flew towards the chest, which they presumed to be their weakness.
‘what?’
However, at the scene that followed, Liam’s brain stopped for a moment.
“It’s split in half. Bullets!”
Austin told the situation instead.
Suddenly, the enemy with a single sword in his hand was burning the dark red energy with the flash split in half.
‘Is it true that there is hope?’
As soon as the enemy with the sword was taking a step forward, he clenched his teeth.
Once again, bullets and magic rained, and the rushing dark hair fluttered in the wind. The last battle between the monsters and humans that began to rush took place.
A clash between the scoundrels and the slaughterers. In the process, the splattered blood and bursting screams were only for one person.
Still, he fought until the last one.
“Kuh… If it were you, would you… die peacefully?”
Liam, who had pierced and killed Austin and was now bleeding from the strong hand that gripped his neck, smashed the mask with his fist.
Naturally, his fist was torn and broken, but he didn’t care.
“You die here too.”
He grinned at the intuition that the overload in the power room was about to explode.
And the next big explosion swept through everything.
A large km-class ship devoured everything around it and spread the shock and scorching flames enough to shatter.
Here, in Eden, it was the moment when the last remaining human beings perished, and it was also a moment of great significance to many.
Now the true master of this world has been hidden.
Just like when the degenerative dragons were wiped out in Redrium, there was only one owner left in this world.
‘…?!’
‘You’re not dead, Liam. Shall we talk?’
And at some point, Liam, who felt that he was conscious, who should have been shattered and burned to death, suddenly heard a voice resounding in his consciousness and was startled.

“The game has already passed several junctions. As always, as always.”
In the dark space, in the suffocating silence, someone spoke quietly with the sound of creaking shoes.
“As everyone knows, the game is just a device and has a different real purpose. Units, players, and outsiders. In the end, they become stronger, communicate, grow bigger, and… evolve.”
Her voice, with a pair of black horns on her head, speaking representatively, did not waver at all.
In the masks of everyone who gathered and stood still without any movement, their eyes gleamed.
“Fighting and competing with each other is also one of the important factors for growth. Or perhaps the most important, because the existence that continues to dominate this game until now has been an incarnation of war that uses endless gluttony and evolution as its weapons. . The second strongest were all those who competed with the winner to the end.”
what she’s talking about now. In fact, everyone here knew it.
“But it must not be repeated. The ultimate victor has so far devoured and destroyed not only the ‘real enemy’, but also the world. That means nothing. Games, sacrifices, even wars.”
“Even so, things are going the same as before. Only then will the results be the same.”
Someone countered with a mechanical voice. It just had to be dry.
From their point of view, they knew the outcome anyway, and this meeting was just one of the repeated daily routines.
He knew the winners and the losers, and he knew the process. It was rather strange to react dynamically.
In an instant, countless eyes turned to one of them. To an ordinary man standing quietly without showing any sign.
“Nevertheless, we have no choice but to keep going.”
Noticing the gazes, she stopped teasing and spoke firmly.
No one denied her words. They were united only by a sense of mission. They were the ones who broke the rules of the beginning and intervened so far.
“Players from the beginning, like me… Let’s hope for a different result this time, so that another us can achieve true victory this time.”
At the end, her calm voice trembled a little.
Endless repetition. But there is no such thing as a completely identical future. The only problem is that small things cannot change a large stem.
‘The beginning of a full-scale power battle triggered by the unit. This great war is your only chance.’
Returning to the room, he turned on the screen again. Unlike others, he has only two players and units.
Reading their thoughts is a breeze now.
But he had long ago stopped meddling and guiding them. Coming here meant nothing.
‘Incompetent. Then or now.’
For a moment, he covered his masked face with his hand.
In the end, I hope there will be minor changes that will become variables in the unit’s mindset. And we just wait and wait for that trivial variable to become the butterfly effect and change the outcome.
The fact that I couldn’t help them was painful. It has always been like this, but if you repeat the episode, the existence of the previous episode just disappears.
It was hard to bear. Even if they wished for their happiness, the end was always runaway, anger, sadness and ruin.
[Check the spies planted in the Alliance. they are looking at something]
He took a deep breath as he typed the message.
