151 Tue-System Re-establishment(1)
“The biggest hurdle has been overcome, and it’s still another option. Then the result!”
The hand holding the fist trembled. The fixed eyes staring at the screen tried to capture every scene without a single blink.
His player has finally reached a big junction. It is not easy to endure with a faint light in a place where nothing, not even oneself, exists. A culprit who really has nothing at all will never be able to bear it.
Holding on to consciousness while his existence melted away also received various help, but it was not highly likely.
However, the difficult, painful and painful process is unfortunately only the beginning of the overall story. It was a necessary basic condition for making change.
If the player couldn’t stand it, the game ended here. no need to see more Because no one can stop the unit from running away.
Fortunately, the player managed to persevere this time as well.
‘The adversary. Will it be possible?’
This time he pondered over the first option he had ever heard of. No future is exactly the same. Although these small changes of one word were consistent, the result was the same in the end.
Do you want to become an Overlord who rules even Eve, or to win a war against a runaway Eve, or to persuade you to stay with him from within?
None of the many options tried so far succeeded due to external or internal interference.
This is a new option. The only answer was to wait and see from now on whether it would succeed or not.
From now on, this was the beginning of a true story that he did not dare to know or foresee.

“…”
The barren planet Redrium. A place full of nests of legions that covered the whole world. Eve stood still with her arms crossed with a stiff face.
Just by looking at the facial expression and posture of the avatar, it was clear that the horns are now strong and the planting is not good.
However, the Hive consciousness of the Legion is no longer directly affected by her emotions.
Because, now that I have a hive-mind on the same level as her, my feelings are very calm now.
“Come out now. It’s over.”
“Sure.”
I tore the tough mucous membranes with my regenerated hands and set foot in the world.
Ignoring Eve’s sullen expression with her lips closed, I looked at my body. There was a sense of disparity, but now that I have become a hive mind, I can ignore it.
“It’s fine.”
I looked at my body and smiled. It had a body that looked similar to Eve’s avatar. No, except for the male body, the composition and structure were exactly the same as Eve’s.
The body of a monster covered with a black carapace. This was now my other body.
“I still don’t understand.”
“what?”
“You… you are a human now. You have your humanity as it is. You have assimilated with the Hive consciousness in that state. What the hell does that help our future!?”
Eve shook her head, saying she didn’t understand. It made me laugh like a wandering adolescent student.
“You’ve become so strong, Eve. Your only weakness, your rejection and understanding of other races, has now grown to the point where you can take advantage of it. .”
“What’s wrong with that. That’s me, no, it’s our mission. To eat and grow. I ate up the entire labyrinth, devoured the entire continent. There’s nothing called the universe.”
At my words, Eve giggled and her eyes twinkled.
“But that can’t be forever. At the end, after swallowing everything, you’ll be left alone.”
“…!”
I don’t even have to look at your face. Now Eve and I share all our feelings perfectly. It can also be seen that Eve is now surprised.
Eve, who has learned the emotion from humans or people of human origin, but the feeling of loneliness was not particularly worth discussing.
Because there is no room for loneliness for beings who only have struggles and struggles.
Only when all those fights are over. In the end, Eve, who is left alone as a corps, will be able to withstand the loneliness.
“Oh, no. I can’t be swayed by those feelings.”
“Maybe. Emotions are also a tool for you. But you were still very young, and you were prone to emotions before you were born. I’ve watched it all, and I know. It was the same when fighting rats and animals in the labyrinth.”
Eve, who received the fact, clenched her teeth and trembled. I felt annoyed and angry, but now I am not afraid.
“…what does that have to do with this now?”
“I’m trying to make sure you don’t feel lonely. By the way, we’re on a safer road.”
As I answered, I remembered my role again. No one could come closer to Eve than me, who became a perfect one.
“When we meet a strong enemy, we fight together. As we have done so far. But of course, such strong enemies do not always appear.”
“therefore.”
“We’re competing with each other just in case that happens. The stronger the enemy, the stronger we get. So, if we fight each other? Of course, we’ll get stronger each other.”
I proudly announced my plan. And the first reaction that Eve showed when she learned this was none other than ridicule.
“Me? Competition? You’re imperfect right now. You can’t completely rule the Legion with your humanity. Competition itself doesn’t exist. If the two of us fight… you’ll be trampled by me.”
“I don’t think so. I believe in my own way.”
Of course, as expected. I accepted the tinker with ease. Eve, who grew even more grumpy, pounded her feet on the floor for nothing.
“Don’t worry, Eve. You know. Now we are truly one, and being strong is what makes us all strong.”
At this point, I wanted to reconcile. Just because you become a competitor in the first place doesn’t mean you become an enemy. It’s a bit of a nag, but isn’t that enough?
“Come on.”
I spread my arms and waved them like a child. In the end, Eve pretended not to win and moved the avatar to come to me.
Neither soft nor warm. The hard carapaces collided with the jaws and squeaks.
But it doesn’t matter. I stroked Eve’s head in my arms. My last gamble was a success.
There was only one thing I got in return, Eve I am now in my arms.
It was only now that I could once again stand on equal footing with Eve. I had to seize this opportunity. It goes without saying that this is our last chance for all of us.
“Yeah. It’s impossible for you to compete with me.”
“Are you still talking about that?”
I burst into laughter at the sound of Eve’s voice, both in front of a corps body and after wearing a human body.
Currently, I have switched bodies. Because you can’t roam the earth with that monster’s body.
Unlike Eve, who can move two, possibly hundreds of millions of avatars at the same time, I can only move one body at a time.
I closed the gate that I opened after waving around the same, almost identical to the old human body. The knowledge that the Legion had accumulated, now I was able to use it to some extent.
“Oh, these look like real clothes.”
Like Eve, I transformed the skin cells to make the same clothes I was wearing before.
Eve was watching it with curious eyes, but now you can see that he isn’t thinking too complicated.
The Hive consciousness connected with the universe right now was in motion without rest. That was a strength I could never imitate.
“Do you have any plans in mind?”
“Of course. But we need a little more information right now. We’ll continue to move together like this, but I don’t think we’re the only ones who are overhauling the system.”
Now that I have become an incomplete hive mind, I needed a cause and a way to operate my own troops.
He even had to grow it to the same size as Eve’s forces now facing the Space Force. Of course, you can’t keep up with the scale. There must be other strengths.
“The omni-directional blow to the rebel coalition that you are carrying out right now… It’s like a snowball rolling.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Gee. I disconnected from you when I got the call. Put simply, they’re like wizards who use the game system to send a request for support to the Rebel Alliance’s fleet.”
A player who was mixed among the wizards had asked for salvation from a player from another world through communication between units.
It was such a crisis, so it was a natural choice to live.
So, it will be the same for the rebel coalition planets that Eve is attacking indiscriminately now. In order to live, I have no choice but to borrow a hand from foreign powers.
