234 Tues – Subtle Balance (4)
“There is only one thing war gives us.”
Ji Chang-hyun drew his sword. This is a kind of training ground prepared in haste.
Opposite him stood Eve with a sword as well. Now Submind Morris and the Legionnaires are attacking another planet, Rell.
“Growth. In any form, as long as we survive, we grow.”
“That I deeply agree with.”
Eve smiled faintly. Because I was able to check the battlefield in real time.
Reel’s soldiers who desperately resist the monsters that flock to them… Their struggles and struggles are the prey of Eve.
This was the meaning of the experiment. Eve, who felt the limit of situation control in the recent large-scale battlefield, succeeded in envisioning a cycle of growth that could theoretically go back indefinitely within her grasp, using her own characteristics.
Induces the opponent to fight at an appropriate level, and develops them. He fights once again with an opponent who has grown up like that and becomes stronger and stronger.
This means that he unwittingly sympathizes with the ongoing fight that Shinwoo had planned.
This seemingly inefficient use of resources for uncertain outcomes was also influenced by Eve’s changing and growing ego.
“But growth isn’t everything. It’s our duty to take care of that power and adjust it so that it can be used properly. It is also our duty to care for and heal the heroes born from such wounds and suffering.”
Ji Chang-hyeon pointed the sword at Eve with unshakable eyes.
Eve, who had brushed her sword in the same way, looked at him with strange eyes. But it wasn’t just Ji Chang-hyun who was watching now.
It’s a light-year away from here. There was a fierce war going on there.
The wounds and pains he referred to did not apply to Eve. However, Eve had to agree with that statement. Because he was the one who caused the wounds and pain.
“Aww!”
There was a girl who ran towards a huge enemy that was attacking her.
The girl’s eyes were full of intense hatred. Hatred of his parents, of those around him, of the outside forces that destroyed his homeland.
The red magic that she radiated became a blade and cut through the large flying bells of the corps, which were comparable to fighter jets.
‘…okay. Hurt, pain, hate! Then I’ll have to give it to you.’
Eve looked at her and smiled with joy.
There was only one cause for all these actions. The desire for growth, which is one’s innate nature and everything. With that desire alone, he had reached the point of wanting to raise his own adversaries.
Soon, one of the higher-ranking servants who received Eve’s orders headed straight for Sena, who was fighting other flying species.
“… Those eyes are so scary. What is it that makes you so happy?”
Ji Chang-hyeon, completely unaware of this situation happening on the other side of the universe, muttered quietly as she looked at the raised corners of her mouth, red eyes, and Eve’s eyes glittering with madness.
“It’s nothing. I’m just trying to find a clue to the answer I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and now I’m going to try it myself.”
“Then I hope to find the full answer.”
Ji Chang-hyun and Eve also raised each other’s strength. Burning flames and dark red magic fluttered through their bodies.
It was Eve who took the lead.
The sword that was swung was no longer normal. After leaving Earth, the experiences she rapidly accumulated, Eve had the ability to make it her own without leaks.
Since then, I have been wandering around and acquiring knowledge in my spare time to learn.
‘Even the power engine that was built into the body was excluded. With a pure human body, to test how strong you can be.’
Eve’s counterattack, which absorbed Ji Chang-hyun’s fire, flashed across the scene. followed by an explosion. Despite the high-explosive or higher firepower, the two were fine.
[Oh, this change of Eve is dramatic. Is this true, I am now…]
“It seems that you know what’s going on just by looking at your bewilderment.”
Shin-Woo’s eyes sank as he watched all this from a close distance. Eve, who had missed the perfect opportunity for her work, knew exactly what she was going to do, and her heart was heavy.
‘Is it better than that? However, if Eve achieves inner and qualitative growth in this way, can others handle it? How long can we… keep this balance?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I could only think of pulling it.
Even beings who have watched all of Eve’s growth did not dare to predict the limits of her growth potential.
[After this, I must hope that Eve’s greed is excessive]
“Again, Eve has moved away from me.”
Shinwoo laughed bitterly. I thought I could barely control Eve, but I guess I’m out of it again.
‘Now who is obsessed with whom?’
It felt like something was turned upside down, and I was even disappointed. The relationship between the two beings on the outside was finally the most equal now, but the relationship on the inside has been turned upside down for a long time.
*
‘…more than I imagined.’
Ji Chang-hyeon, who created a huge pillar of fire, stiffened slightly. Eve’s ability to grow over the years was beyond her expectations.
I can’t use my power here, though, and Eve wasn’t doing her best either.
‘I am enjoying myself.’
Rather, he was enjoying the battle with himself in moderation. He seemed to be using this opportunity as experience for his own growth.
“Why hesitate? Didn’t you tell me? Without pain and scars, there would be no growth.”
The slash that Eve’s shuddering blew off rushed in, tearing apart everything in its path. Ji Chang-hyeon, who kicked his tongue, finally poured out even the last firepower he was controlling.
‘…hot.’
A huge, hot white flame that could not be contained even by the resonance method swept forward.
Eve, who had exhausted all her strength to hold on for a moment, was scorched here and there, but succeeded in pushing her sword into the ground and enduring it.
“That’s it. Now I want to hear your answer.”
“I bet, a few days will suffice to learn everything.”
“It doesn’t matter. If you can, try it.”
Ji Chang-hyun put the sword in. Nai who turned around and left the seat, CNU approached Eve.
“If we had fought together, would we have won?”
“Of course. We must fight together for it to be real.”
Eve nodded without hesitation when he asked a hint.
‘I know by doing it myself. This experiment is quite possible.’
Eve, who wiped the dust off her body, smiled faintly. What I was seeing now was the battlefield.
A spear-type high-ranking servant crossing the sky with a few flying bells was gradually approaching Sena with a spear in her hand.
“Did you send reinforcements to Reel?”
“Probably, it will arrive soon.”
“okay…?”
The Federation, of course, sent support to Reel. And Eve knew all the information, and soon dispatched an additional force similar to the support of the Federation.
“I’m sure. You can grow through fierce warfare, not overwhelming slaughter and conquest. I’ll have to send troops to new places as well.”
Eve liked her newfound method. In the meantime, the high-ranking species arrived in front of Sena.
“Ugh…!”
‘Fight more, fight more. Don’t fall here.’
Eve directly manipulated the body of a higher-ranking species, and poured an onslaught on Sena, whom she did not even know her name.
Eve’s spear, burning with dark red energy, exploded with red magic power, and Sena fell to the floor at the shock.
“no!”
“Shoot it!”
Then the terrified people hurriedly opened fire with their personal firearms. A blow that can’t even penetrate the barrier that’s worn on the body.
If you ignore it and shoot down the spear as it is, you can pierce Sena’s neck.
“stop!”
But Eve didn’t. Ignoring Sena’s terrified cry, she moved the upper servant’s body and flew towards the people at once.
Blood and fragments of people’s bodies splattered in an instant.
‘Deeply despair and furiously angry, grow more.’
Seeing Sena’s eyes in great shock, she was satisfied. If you sit there, Eve will kill Senna relentlessly.
[run away]
“Never do that.”
And, as Eve wished, she rushed once more with scorching eyes.
He ignored even the player’s words and exploded his power.
A powerful wave bullet fired by the activated blood magic broke the barrier and blew off one of the upper species’ arms.
‘It’s over.’
As he pierced the spear with his one remaining arm, Eve had a gut feeling that it had paid off. Red magic flowed through the spear, smashing and crushing the hard shell.
Although one shoulder pierced by a spear was smashed to pieces and scattered, Senna succeeded in creating a miracle against an enemy stronger than her own.
‘look. it’s okay It’s possible to make a miracle like this.’
The top servant was beheaded, but Eve liked it. It means that if someone else can do it, you can do it too.
“You’re great too, Eve.”
“I was amazing from the beginning. From the moment I met you. All those moments of climbing up the labyrinth, devouring planets, and advancing into space.”
Eve smiled brightly.
