146 Tue-The Invaders (6)
“What’s going on, Captain?”
“Come and take a look at this. Do you know what this…is it?”
The flagship of the Federation floating in the sky of the Earth. There, the captain urgently called for the head of the research lab, Richard.
Richard, who had been disguised as being infected by Eve and under real-time monitoring, headed to the conference room with Pires, who was also the same as himself.
The captain and the seniors on the screen were already seated there, and the meeting was in a serious mood.
“What is this?”
“Some of the top-secret information we got just before. The sources are the agents who infiltrated the rebel coalition.”
They showed Richard a piece of material. He went through the entire document from start to finish without the slightest shake.
In the video data, there were recorded the appearance of a huge fortress that suddenly warped in outer space and poured out attacks in all directions, and the appearance of monsters attacking people at random by turning the ground into a wasteland.
“It’s interesting.”
“…Are you a scholar? That’s a calm response. Even if the people who die there are our enemies, I’m very surprised.”
“Just by looking at it, it seems that it is part of the category that we have classified as a space monster species?”
Richard looked at the data and thought seriously. In the first place, he doesn’t know that the beings who control his body are allied with the enemies fighting the rebel coalition from a distant universe.
‘…’
Eve saw all of this and made an instant calculation. For now, let’s pretend we don’t know.
“Well. At best, the space monsters I know are beasts. I’m not sure if I should call those who wield giant beasts against ships in large warping fortresses as space monsters.”
“Have you decided how to respond from the top?”
“Of course. This information must have already been shared throughout the Alliance.”
At Richard’s words, the captain nodded as he looked at the faces of his superiors who appeared in the conference room.
“We Ares, along with other Alliance factions, have decided to respond appropriately to the emergency situation. Commanders, hurry up with your plans accordingly. Reportedly, our personnel are still under-leveled compared to the powerful on Earth. So, at that time. For the time being, we have to hire the strong people there to write.”
On the screen, an old woman with sharp eyes spoke in a cold voice. Neither the captain nor Richard knew what the plan was.
It is a new type of human that they first encountered on Earth, where they broke something ‘unknown’. to mobilize them for war.
“But Chairman. The Earth is still in the midst of the war against the Demon Realm. Asking them for power support will have to pay a fair price.”
“…now we’re recruiting companies to volunteer in the form of mercenaries. They’ll lead a fleet-level force to Earth. Commander You become the interim commander and command them.”
At the captain’s words, she nodded as if she had thought about everything. The captain widened his eyes. I didn’t know that the superior would move so quickly.
“It’s not a lot of data, but we decided that it was necessary for the people of Earth to use it, so please make sure it succeed.
The meeting ended there. The screens turned off one by one, leaving only the captain and Richard in their seats.
“Captain? Can I take these materials and study them?
“Top secret material. But the situation is zero now.”
The captain, who had listened to Richard who broke the silence first, glanced at Richard and Pires, and then nodded.
“Only you two know.”
Eventually, Richard got the data. Then he immediately left the conference room.
Pires hurried after him with a look of helplessness.
“Chief…”
“Be quiet. Eve, you must be listening. Isn’t it interesting as a being who seeks knowledge. Don’t you want to know?”
He covered Pires’s mouth and spoke directly to Eve with a slightly faster voice.
Unaware of Eve’s true identity, he had the daring idea of discovering the identity of the alien corps that attacked the same human race using the powers obtained through Eve, who now controls his body.
‘…you are so cocky.’
His attitude was enough to make Eve a little embarrassed. Because, until now, no one has actively rushed to him first.
Anyway, Eve was a little bit curious to see where he could go and what he could do once in a while. So I decided to lend him a little bit of my power.
[Violence, emotion, negotiation, and deception… are gradually learning how to deal with humans]
This was also evidence that the spectrum of Eve’s attitude toward other creatures was gradually expanding from a simple slaughter.

“After all, it’s so diverse. It’s so wide. And the mind of an intelligent body that is about the size of a human being is like the universe.”
“Wow… what nonsense is that. What are you doing to my body now!”
“You saved the body that was shattered and shattered by the explosion.”
Eve’s Hive consciousness is the racial characteristic of the unit, that is, the same level of power as the game system. A transcendent power that can be communicated in real time from a distant universe.
In other words, Eve could see both Richard of Earth and Liam in front of her avatar at the same time.
“Human-speaking monster! A terrifying doomed devil who is covered in iron poles!”
“Yeah? Someone called me a true miracle. A true brain capable of reaching the extremes of science. He is a person just like you. He is a member of the Federation.”
“Yes, you guys have already reached the Federation…”
Liam, who had been using the magnifying glass with this judge’s board, widened his eyes. Perhaps it was because he had presumed that Eve had invaded even a stronger alliance than the rebel alliance.
“Well, how about it?”
Eve did not give a detailed answer to that. There was also a plan to attack the alliance, but for now, it was because the first goal was to eradicate the rebel coalition that dared to directly harm him in order to expand his power.
Of course, Liam misunderstood Eve’s silence, and his eyes trembled in fear.
“Why. Why did you save me? That’s the way it is. Are you going to insult me?”
Liam, who suddenly felt wise time despite the fear he was feeling at that time, looked around and laughed.
Now his condition was dire. Inside the dark cavity covered with wriggling mucous membranes and flesh walls, the shattered body was stretched out like a spider’s web and stuck to the elongated black tentacles.
It was the Legion’s tentacles, not his own heart, that supplied blood to his now half-burned head. Literally, even if he was forced to live, he was not in a state of being alive. Eve did not have to return his body. Because he wasn’t on his side yet.
“Are you mad at the death of your faithful general, the Queen? It’s worth watching the windhole fall from the ship.”
He assumed that the avatar of Eve, who was looking at him while taking off his mask and speaking human voices, was the highest commanding entity, that is, the queen of the horde of monsters. In a way, it was half the right insight.
“We don’t die that easily.”
“May I be a sister? Damn it.”
However, with Eve’s words, when Kang Do-yeon, who took off the mask from behind, took off her wings and walked around in a normal state. His eyes went dark.
It was the eyes of a person who had lost all hope and had given up on life.
‘I want to persuade you.’
Why? Eve was interested in seeing Liam who had lost all will in front of her eyes. If it had been in the past, it would have been cleared of being useless.
‘why? He’s lost all motivation now. That’s what you did when you made Reina into a submind. If you can’t exert the greatest human power, it’s worthless.’
Kang Kang-yeon pointed that out. But Eve shook her head. Obviously, he was the one who picked the strongest strengths available to humans as his mental strength and flexibility of thought.
‘I can make it for you. That desperation, or happiness, etc. We have confirmed the potential of humans through an experiment with Reina. With this experiment, I’ll see if I can control that possibility.’
Eve had already made up her mind. In this case, Kang Do-yeon, who did not need to dry it to the end, just kept her mouth shut.
It was also true that he had a bit of sympathy when he saw Liam’s miserable appearance. Anyway, he’s like that, because it’s true that he contributed.
‘Is this enough? In a situation where oppa has virtually given up on Eve’s control, why am I doing what I’m told to do?’
Kang Do-yeon’s heart as she watched Eve approaching Liam also became heavy.
I don’t really want special treatment, but my current situation was no different from Raina’s. No, it was rather wrong to compare him to Reina, who felt too much satisfaction with the mission of the corps commander.
Obviously, repeating battles, gaining experience, getting stronger, and continuously increasing the output with the help of Eve, now it felt like the main cast had been turned over.
‘Why did I try to be strong?’
Because I don’t want to be swayed helplessly anymore, because I don’t want to be hit. He sought power to protect it.
However, it seemed that he had to think deeply about whether his actions now correspond to them.
