237 Tue – Subtle Balance(7)
“The problem is, when this happens, the ship’s firepower will be greatly reduced…!”
Literally, they gave the bones and took the flesh.
It barely prevented the legionaries who had penetrated into the ship from spreading in all directions, but it could not prevent the ship’s combat power from dropping sharply.
‘The last remaining hope is there.’
Commander Akmun looked out at this. Unless they made a big breakthrough, they had only one place to turn to now.
‘It is another special species that is in charge of the fleet battles of those monsters, that their movements are different from their existence itself. We must capture that flagship.’
They gave up the internal defense and let the hunters who came with them infiltrated the enemy’s flagship. So we had to win there.
Now that communication was cut off, all we could tell was what the enemy flagship, who had stopped acting, would follow.
“They’re attacking again!”
“Hold on. We are indestructible.”
Of course, the Legion was not idle, and the ships continued to attack them. This gigantic ship, which had become half incapacitated, was desperately holding on. ’cause that’s how I did it Here and on the ground, there were plenty of people who believed in them and fought.
“Are they betting hope here?”
And Liam, who understands the human way of thinking, roughly anticipated all the psychology.
“I’ll know for a while, but I don’t know right now.”
Alone in the deepest part of the flagship, Liam can see and understand every situation through the Hive consciousness. With a grin on his face, he couldn’t come to a conclusion easily.
If the other side’s resolve had been loose, either side would have made a quick decision, but the outside enemies who were holding on with the readiness to die now, as well as the hunters who penetrated inside, showed no sign of backing down.
‘Are you disappointed? Anyway, to such incompetent ordinary people.’
“That’s a bit unfair. Even if you’re an ordinary person, if you burn your own life with desperate determination, no matter how weak your opponent, you can’t ignore it. The number is not even one or two.”
At Eve’s words, he snorted. Although the super creature Eve herself did not understand, Liam, who was once an ordinary human like them, evaluated her opponent more objectively.
“There is nothing that can be ignored. A flash of oriental medicine, no matter how weak, can always leave a scar on the strong. So, it is not that there is nothing to learn. Perhaps it is the weakest, so it is the easiest way to grow.”
‘Then go ahead and trample it. Before they awaken and become more violent.’
“…it should be.”
Although he spoke enthusiastically, Eve’s values, which have recently been expanded in various fields, do not contain any content about the powerless.
Liam, licking his tongue, summoned the hulls to call the troops aboard the other hulls for support. Now his eyes could see a group of beings fighting inside the ship.
The hunters who were fighting with their teeth clenched, and Amy, who had just been by her side.
“Stop it! Weida!”
The interior of the flagship, different from that of a normal ship, as if it were the interior of a living creature. The hunters belonging to the federation who wanted to use their energy and go to the deepest part fought a fierce battle.
“Now!”
Their eyes are engulfed in evil, swarming from all directions, attacking Amy with a long joust-like spear. Although not as much as the Allied Forces, which was a war with the Legion from the beginning, they all lost something precious to the Legion’s attack and volunteered for this work based on their resentment.
So desperate and desperate. Amy quickly swung one spear away and pierced the other person’s body.
Another person fired a bullet of coherent energy, breaking her barrier in an instant.
“Wow, ha ha ha!”
Next came the giant man. He succeeded in piercing Amy’s body with the large sword in his hand.
Even though his body was also pierced by the spear, as he spewed the foam of blood, he thrust his sword deeper and smiled as he looked down at Amy, who grabbed the sword. Although it was close to self-destruction, thanks to the thought that he had avenged himself anyway.
“Brian!”
Just as he was out of breath, another colleague hurriedly swung his sword.
His head, which had flashed red eyes, fell to the ground, splattered with blood, and his body, which had been pierced by the sword, collapsed as if torn apart.
“Hey, it’s already too late. The wound is too big.”
One of them ran and looked at his wounds. If the wound was even a little shallow, he could have been able to recover it with his own ability, a kind of healing technique, but the problem was that the wound was so deep that he almost died instantly.
“Five people have died, but it seems that there are no more defense forces after this superior species.”
“…If you want to avenge your comrades, you have no choice but to go ahead and eliminate the backbone of the monster that this ship is not the same as.”
Seeing the scene, they strengthened their resolve. He picked up his weapon again, and led his injured and fatigued body to go deeper.
The end is, of course, the deepest part of the ship where Liam is. Not noticing that each bundle of tentacles spread out in all directions is a neural body that transcends the human brain, they finally reached the center of the nervous body that is entangled like a spider’s web.

“Hey, this can’t be…”
“That! Isn’t that a person?!”
A large pupil, and there were only a lot of tentacles and mucus. One of them, startled by the sight unfolding in front of them, pointed forward. Liam’s head hanging loosely in the middle of the web.
They did not recognize the face of Liam, once commander of the rebel coalition.
“You’ve come all the way here.”
“Speak, speak…”
Rather, when Liam spoke up first, he was startled and surprised. Eve gave the Subminds a ban on communication with other factions, but this case was valid.
Because I was confident that everything that was happening here would ‘never leak’.
“You, too, must have come here with a purpose of your own. Grudges, missions, and such. I once did.
He was flustered and poured out his stories to them, who were speechless. Except for Amy, who was always by my side, it was because I was sick of talking about things I couldn’t tell with anyone else.
“It was a stupid idea. After all, I realized that there was something I would never let go of. Personally, I don’t understand the Hivemind’s attempt to stimulate and harass people like you and feed them into growth. It’s very sad and pitiful.”
“Wow, what nonsense are you talking about, you monster!”
“It’s absurd… that’s ridiculous… you can communicate with Z? It’s like that…”
Liam quickly opened up to the existence of the Hive Mind, but the hunters who were already in panic could not catch the word.
“Don’t be deceived, everyone! This is clearly a wicked tongue-in-cheek trying to corrupt us, so we must do our thing!”
“Ohh.”
Some heroes appear when the party is in crisis, someone raised their voice. He was a man with healing powers.
Liam simply looked at him with interest.
“That’s right. First, complete the mission. There’s no time outside right now!”
“That’s a good attitude. By the way, are you confident?”
Liam ridiculed those who tried to make up their minds and fight. There was no time to see the presence of nothing beside me now.
“Wow, what…!”
“I can’t! It must have been cut!”
Of course, his leisure was not unfounded. The six walls next to it cracked open, and someone appeared.
A high-ranking servant with a black carapace, with red eyes shining, and holding a large jousting spear in his hand.
“…Amy’s body stored in my body is a total of 35. I killed her once, but can you stop her from resurrecting a total of 35 times?”
Liam, who smiled bitterly, raised the window and looked at Amy’s back as she ran towards them.
“She was also quite angry?”
Amy’s spear ripped and pierced their bodies with anger unlike before. It was the cause of his anger that he had killed himself just before, and that he dared to show hostility toward Liam.
‘If the gathered forces can’t stop the corps. The entire universe could be Eve’s lab, or even just a farm. If you want to see hope, you should have killed Amy at least 35 times and then killed me here too.’
Liam, who saw the resurrected Amy taking pictures of the bewildered and desperate hunters with hyangtae, clicked inwardly.
He was loyal to the corps with a submind, but was in a slightly observant position, unlike Reina, who sent unconditional loyalty at the level of faith.
When he judged that, his counterattack was still weak. To stop Eve’s ambition, the Federation had to exert more force.
