207 Tue – Black Lightning(1)
“You’re really winning the battle… How can you do this?”
“Don’t be shaken. Even if you win, what is the meaning of a victory that takes away all that pride and honor!”
By nature, the two Karcos, the ruling class of Kasaras, were chatting and looking for someone.
They seem to have strong complaints, so they didn’t come here for nothing. They did not like the new stance of their people in the recent war.
Originally, they were a race that valued honor and pride very highly. Although that pride was transformed into a sense of choice and arrogance, it was still natural for them.
It was the same in war. They looked down upon the intellects other than themselves, and maintained the least amount of mercy and modesty in warfare. Because he believed that the superior race was the way to protect its pride.
“Las. Are you inside?”
But all those traditions were shattered on this occasion. It was because there was a power that suddenly emerged and took the initiative in the bewildered inside when their army did not show an unexpectedly overwhelming power due to the connection with the newly discovered world.
The power denied the old tradition and declared war for victory, not for honor and pride.
“Come in. I’ve already heard of what happened.”
Ras took his eyes off the screen he was watching and greeted his colleagues with a grin.
Of course, it was Lars who saw and heard the events of the other world through the game that brought the wind of change from within them, who had not changed at all for a long time.
He made the decision to change his race, seeing the fierce and fierce battlefield that common sense did not work for.
“It’s not urgent. We’re just here to tell you to stop the war without honor that’s going on.”
“Honour? Pride?
“Yeah, that’s it, but it’s supplemented separately., .”
“Now, times have changed, comrades. While we were just observing without doing anything like this.”
Lass, who was calmly accepting, sighed and shook his head toward his bewildered colleague.
“The enemies keep getting stronger. We can’t beat them any longer, so if we take it easy, we cannot win. “
Lars said firmly.
The Casaras had never done anything like a competition for survival. They have been a powerful dominant species from the beginning, and have no competitor. So I thought victory was natural.
But Lars was different. Although it was a form of proxy warfare, they had to spend a lot of money and compete to survive and win. The first fight for survival in his life shook his values.
Now his values have completely changed. only win. It’s only natural to fight for that.
“A greedy, savage…like human idea! Our honor is built on noble victories!”
“You don’t know. This universe is sometimes too savage.”
Lars smiled bitterly at the look of his terrified colleagues and clapped his hands. Colleagues flinched in surprise. Another Kasarasu, who had been hiding, appeared.
“Ta, Tanas-sama…!”
“Even if you don’t understand, there’s nothing we can do. We have to change now.”
They recognized the face of Elder Thanas, who was in front of them. And I was shocked that so many people already supported Lars.
“Finding the truth beyond the veil is an important part of our mission. Good cause.”
“However…!”
“If you don’t agree, there’s nothing I can do.”
A blue energy flowed from their bodies, including Thanas. Terrified by the warning that they would use force if they did, they did not know what to do and backed away.
“I want you to know what’s really for us. The honor and pride we only have for ourselves is of no use.”
Lars smiled bitterly and gave the final warning. It was the time when the forces that had gathered around him gradually began to take over the tribal council to their liking as they increased their power among the Karcos.
Carcos, who were thoroughly individualistic when it came to exercising authority, had never done a particular factional politics before, so there was no way to respond to Lars’s technique, which was used to establish his position by bringing the swarm politics among humans as it is.
“I’m not going to disturb you anymore with this.”
“After trampling the resistance of the Human League, we can gather the information they have gathered and look elsewhere.”
The meeting broke down, and Lars, who suddenly emerged as a giant of the race, smiled faintly as he looked at the screen that others could not see.
When I think of the times when I was alone and groaned in the earth, I feel terrified right now. I didn’t know until now that it was so exciting and pleasant to be able to move the entire race according to one’s taste.
“Then we can find clues about the veil. What the hell lies beyond that.”
‘Certainly not a good thing.’
At Thanas’ words, Lars muttered to himself. The basis of the judgment was none other than the game that continued to this day.
Lars wasn’t stupid. They knew how great the system of this game was, even putting their own power into it. And the intention too.
‘Is surviving the attack of number 1 the only goal? So, by making the number one strong like that, what does this system get?’
He, who did not know that he was the trigger, was also currently working on the final chapter, Chapter 10.
The content of the chapter was very explicit. As before, we keep fighting and making each other stronger. What do you hope for an alternative system for the truly strong man born in that way?
Lars was convinced, at least, that nothing was peaceful.
‘Do you think I’m going to lose?’
He snorted a little. Because I had no intention of being sacrificed as a stepping stone or sacrifice for the growth of others. He was planning to completely conquer the still unknown number one and become the victor with his own race.

“No, their offensive is getting stronger!”
In the middle of the battlefield where war is still going on. After tearing down all the basic tactics themselves, Casaras launched an offensive in earnest.
At Lars’ order, they focused on attacking major facilities such as military facilities and planetary power plants.
After all, their purpose is to neutralize the Alliance forces. There was no intention from the beginning to kill the bustling humans one by one.
“You must protect it! This is the largest main power plant on the planet, and if it is destroyed, it will be over!”
“Okay, calm down.”
CNU, who was running across the battlefield in a vehicle, nodded at the urgent commander’s words as if he had lost his mind.
The place they are going now is the main power plant, which is one of the main facilities on the planet that the enemies are intensively attacking.
The Federation, which had earned its time thanks to the fleet’s barriers to bombardment from space, dispatched some of the most powerful men on the planet to the spot where the enemy’s ground forces were concentrated.
“You can’t change the battlefield alone. But she can do it now. Where is Cha Ji-yeon?”
“I, as far as I know, I’ve heard that you’ve already been to the site.”
Eve was only interested in Cha Ji-yeon. When I heard that she was the first to go and fight, I laughed like it was interesting.
‘When will it explode? It will probably last quite a while. Their purpose is to neutralize the Federation and the newly revealed world. The longer the war drags on, the more her value rises.’
Eve analyzed the intentions of Cha Ji-yeon’s player Lars to some extent. I already inquired elsewhere, and found out that Lars was doing similar work to the Evolution Hunters he sent to the Federation along with Cha Ji-yeon.
Eve didn’t have time. If Cha Ji-yeon’s ego disappears as a side effect of Soul Resonance, the emptiness, anger, and revenge that Eve wanted for her will disappear.
So, as soon as possible, when her pain, resentment, and consequent vengeance reached its maximum, it was necessary to sub-mind her.
‘How about this battle?’
Eve decided that it was too dangerous to draw any more and decided the timing for this battle. In this battle, Eve will kill Cha Ji-yeon to free her from the game.
And I was thinking of bringing it back to life and making it a part of myself.
“…”
Shin-woo’s eyes, watching Eve quietly from his side, were complicated. Especially since I know what Eve is thinking.
[If you help Cha Ji-yeon, Eve will not be able to achieve what she wants]
‘You should think about it. Because I want to at least lighten the useless burden.’
He sighed and leaned back on the chair that rattled like crazy. The ride quality of the armored car running at top speed was the worst, but there was no time to worry.
