172 Tue – Third Force (7)
Eve’s self-determined reason for existence is endless gluttony and growth, and she has only run for that.
An existence that ate anything and made it their own, but there were things that even such an existence could not afford.
“It has to contain more than intense emotions. I don’t know yet. Master said that is the realm.”
In the past, Ji Chang-hyeon, who taught me the basics of swordsmanship, said something like that. It’s not all about simply wielding a weapon.
You can’t create a miracle with a sword wielding simply with strength. At the time, I didn’t think it was a false story because of the glimmering clue.
“The only thing I have is an instinct for slaughter?”
Eve grinded her teeth. It wasn’t just the humanoid avatar next to me. All the legions spread across the universe were enraged.
It seemed that he could not stand the fact that it was a force that neither the physical force of the overwhelming mass nor the force of the exploding form could be obtained.
“Calm down, Eve.”
‘right. I’ve never forgotten my purpose for even a moment. slaughter! And war! It was only a means, but it was definitely the most effective means to achieve my goals.’
Eve, who was bubbly and strong, moved the troops with all her heart. The destination is Latis, which is being attacked.
Hundreds of thousands of gates were opened, and more than one ship of legionnaires stationed on another planet poured into it.
‘I… did I do something wrong? Struggle and death are all I have ever been. I am not attacking a planet inhabited by humans, not a barren planet abandoned for nothing. i have to fight You have to fight and evolve through it.’
“…No. If that’s who you really are, you’re not at fault.”
I wiped away the tears of Eve, who couldn’t fight her own wrath.
Eve, who realized something with the opportunity to advance into space, did not even seriously consider the option of slowly cultivating her strength by devouring abandoned planets over time.
Such a barren planet was partly because of the inefficiency of planetary energy extraction, but also because of Eve’s propensity.
Eve was based on imitating and stealing rather than creating and making. Rather than steadily progressing step by step, he preferred to step up like crazy through fierce battles with opponents equal to or higher than him.
The reason was simple. This is because it is the basis of the existence of ‘Eve’ that has been developed until now, and it is the self itself.

My eyes sank Did Eve, a monster of slaughter itself, in the eyes of others, become like this from the beginning, or did the process make it this way?[You have nothing to blame. Up until now, you have only chosen the best number from among the options.]
As I hugged Eve, the letters flickered in my eyes.
But I didn’t know if this was really the best number.
If I had succeeded in the tight tightrope of pushing and pulling until the end by refusing to unite with Eve, or if I had taught and instilled my own values to Eve from the beginning and made him suppress his nature.
[What is the meaning of regrets now?]
“You don’t know. I might make a different choice for you in the next round.”
[…]
“You thought I didn’t know? It seemed like you could do anything.”
I laughed out loud at the words I couldn’t recall because I was speechless.
“I understand. It seems like you have a lot of restrictions.”
[Stop guessing]
“There is no need to deny it.”
It was only a little while vaguely that I realized that the episode might be repeating itself. It wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t even guess the tea I knew that way.
“Turn back time? Is that possible?”
Eve, who was busy with the war, showed interest in the midst of this.
[…nothing, nothing meaningless. Even if it’s true, what’s the use for you? If you return, you will disappear. Eve, you will become a cell mass at the bottom of the labyrinth again, and Shin-Woo Kang, you will become an ordinary college student who knows nothing.]
“If repetition is true, what is the reason?”
“It must have been a result they didn’t like. They pretended to be a fair game, but they did whatever they wanted.”
I just ignored Eve and I and continued talking. As Eve said, it matters what the cause of the reset is.
And I did not dare to say that the culprit was probably Eve.
[Just do it now. Some become star-eating monsters and try to turn the entire universe into enemies, while others become cancer cells to balance that. That’s enough]
“Ha! Do you think I’ll obey you?!”
Eve, who snorted, proudly declared as she looked into the empty space.
[If you don’t like it, you can simply surrender in the war that is currently taking place in Latis. Can’t you do that?]
“Profit…”
But he also didn’t say a word. Eve was excited, but since then, she hasn’t been able to refute it.
“Is the situation very bad? It looks fierce.”
“I can’t do that. If I go to attrition, I win.”
We turned the topic. It was useless to get angry at a systemic being who couldn’t even be touched or predicted.
Eve bragged that she would use her strength to win the war, but well, it seemed to me that Eve was already half way down.
“It’s better if the enemy is strong.”
The ability to quickly imitate an enemy’s strengths is certainly a deceptive trait. As we continued to fight, our opponents were always behind us, who evolved accordingly.
[Is it possible to imitate?]
But now the fundamental problem was this. About whether Eve can learn the strength of the opponent.

“It’s already the 12th…!”
“It works. Cutting down trees makes their nests quickly die!”
A fierce battle was taking place in the sky, in space, and here on earth. The ground forces, which consist of armored units, most of which were specially organized in order to have firepower against the large and medium-sized legionaries, destroy the shields made of shape power and protect the Gaishan warriors who can cut down the divine tree and pour firepower at the invading legionaries. It was.
“It works, but I think we’ll have to retreat soon. There are too many of them. There are tens of millions of them coming right now.”
“…it doesn’t show up at all.”
Garra sighed and lowered the burning ax in front of the broken tree.
Only about a dozen of the top species he had cut down, and six new trees that had been broken were passed over. But now they had to back off. As Eve had predicted, if the war of attrition proceeded, the Allied Forces were absolutely at a disadvantage.
Neither the ammunition nor the fighting spirit that Garr had was infinite.
“I hope this blow will work. No, it will definitely work. Everyone has come to realize that these guys, who until now were thought to be overwhelming monsters that exist only for war, are not perfect in the end. “
The sergeant who had been fighting by my side from beginning to end looked exhausted and tried to smile with a pale face.
“You’re right, comrade. This fight isn’t all there is to it.”
Garr, who was not comfortable even though he had a good major, was able to laugh a little when he heard that.
But the moment they slowly withdraw to the safe zone in accordance with the steps.
“This!”
“uh…”
Garr sensed something and turned around at once, but it was already too late.
A single shot spear ripped through the sound and pierced the body of the sergeant next to him and crashed into the ground like an explosion.
Garr’s eyes widened when he saw the figure of the being who had blown the spear.
The being who was standing on top of the super-large bell, surrounded by a magic circle and pointing his finger at this place, was now fluttering with his dark black hair hanging down from the inside of the mask, with a bright red eye glow.
‘This is the time to prove it. My strength, my instincts, my emotions! I’m not being pushed by the unreasonable attitude of those guys.’
Eve, who threw a spear that had been strengthened with magic, this time raised a sword that flashed dark red light.
Eve changed the route this time.
He admitted that he could not have the power they had right now. I didn’t even want to have it in the first place.
So I decided to prove it in my own way.
For this moment, the only thing he knows is that he has learned from others and that the path he has made is stronger.
“This No Ohm!!”
Garr, who has raised a sense of vengeance within him, has no choice but to accept the challenge.
In the middle of the battlefield where the Allied Forces and the Legionnaires fight in a mess, where nuclear bombs that flash from time to time are exploding in the distance, and half-destroyed ships or hulls fall to the ground when bored.
The giant barbarian and the black-carapered monster swung their axes and swords at each other with their wrath.
