239 Tue – Subtle Balance(9)
“That’s right. I have to come out like this.”
Eve was satisfied. The wounded were angry as they wished and protested as they wished.
All of these actions were nothing but farming for Eve. It was because the power of the Alliance to resist was weak.
“…?”
However, Eve’s enemy was not the only alliance. I tried to attack the Union by sending Ramon and Gangbang-yeon in advance, but after hearing the news that the Union had partnered with the Federation, it started to move again.
“Ttt, you’re annoying.”
“Why? The Alliance was created to fight us from the beginning. Isn’t it better to use it than the Alliance?”
I said with a quick glance. According to Eve’s own calculations, is the Alliance’s invasion a little burdensome now?
“They’re doing weird tricks. First of all, the experiment hasn’t ended successfully yet. We have to stop now. Of course, it doesn’t really matter.”
The reserve forces of the corps, which were on standby, began to move against the approaching Allied Forces.
In the first place, Eve was in a state where she was very fond of her power.
‘If it fits properly, that’ll be it.’
I had to keep an eye on Eve’s every move. I am voluntarily controlling my experiments as an excuse, but I don’t know when my mind will change and go wild.
In order for this somewhat vague balance to be restored even a little, the now withdrawn Casaras had to move again, but it was hard to know when they would move again.
“Ji Chang-hyeon said he would go to the real world too. It’s the first time he’s participated in a war outside of Earth.”
“That person? Are you okay?”
“He’s a picky guy. Maybe more than anyone I’ve ever met and fought with. Even I still don’t know his history.”
Eve, who was staring blankly out the window while I was doing various calculations, mentioned Ji Chang-hyun.
“Obviously it will help…. The purpose of the experiment in the first place is to create and fight such strong people.”
I can feel the borderline even to me. I know that I often compete with him these days, but I don’t think it will be this much. Above all, I did not understand that Eve, a huge group itself, was wary of Ji Chang-hyun, who was only one person in the end.
“If it was the old days, you might not have cared about it, but winning like that isn’t winning.
The grumbling Eve took a step and started moving back and forth. Gigantia is the largest and most powerful avatar that can be designed, which Eve showed off last time she faced the Allied Forces.
I cared about him enough to try to mobilize it.
[Are you satisfied with this?]
“Right now. But I really want to ask you one thing. If things go on like this, are you sure the game won’t end?”
[…Yes]
Eve has been away for a while. I sat down on the chair and talked while looking at the letters floating in the air.
Recently, there was only one topic of conversation between me and the observer. About whether it is possible or impossible to stop the game system as it is.
“But what I don’t understand is that unless this system is made for simple entertainment, there must be a purpose. That purpose, is it really okay to be pushed to the end?”
[To be honest, I’m not even sure about that.]
“No, really, you are a doggie.”
Unexpectedly, I sighed. At this point, isn’t it all useless? But why can’t you just tell me?
[As far as possible, the ‘purpose’ of the system was not originally set at an exact timing.]
“Are you saying that the purpose is to move freely?”
[The strongest unit, the project that hides the strongest existence… that is the answer]
That was the biggest hint I’ve heard recently. Of course, it was something I had been trying to figure out for a while, but what was the first system trying to do by turning Eve into a weapon with no end in sight?
Eve at that time was bonamana. It must be a cruel predator that no common sense or emotion can understand.
There is no such thing as trying various things, having fun, being sad and angry like now for multi-faceted growth. Of course, it would have been impossible to go directly to another faction and get along with it.
“Isn’t that the end? Just because you’re the winner of the game.”
[…]
“Kasaras used the expression to lift the veil. At the same time, they call themselves observers. Have there been any other enemies outside this universe?”
covered his throbbing head. If this guess is true, another enemy will be added now in the three-way battle. And that enemy is very powerful with a high probability, and will oppose all three factions.
The strength itself wasn’t really a concern. In the repeated episodes, it seems like they were swept away because they couldn’t even bear the strength of Eve, who became the final winner.
The problem is that the current Eve isn’t like that. At best, even if you keep Eve in check and balance it, what does that mean if it’s all swept away by the unknown enemies of the outer universe?
[Eve is now growing in a new direction. And that growth isn’t just Eve’s. I don’t think it’s bad]
“..Okay. If you say that much, I get a rough idea of what you’re talking about.”
I also got a headache and left the room recklessly. A bit far from the war, people were living a stable life, and the scenery was similar to the downtown area of the earth that I was familiar with.
‘Isn’t the answer to eventually becoming stronger by fighting each other like rats?’
It was uncomfortable to watch the people who were anxious about the war that showed no sign of ending but were busy doing their jobs.
I’ve come to realize that arguing between us isn’t everything. However, fighting does not necessarily mean that both of them grow and become stronger.
It consumes resources and manpower, and both could be weakened or one could collapse.
‘However. There’s no way.’
To my eyes, I saw a construction site where the equipment was mobilized and the broken buildings were being rebuilt.
I also saw children going back to school.
It wasn’t limited to this planet. The Federation, the Federation, and even Casaras are moving towards the future no matter what situation they are in.
At least I couldn’t stay still. We had to fight even if we didn’t want to fight. That was the end of this round, whether it was a success or a failure.
‘Allies are approaching the enemy’s planet.’
I activated the screen at the will conveyed through the Hive consciousness. What I saw was the appearance of my soldiers who led the invasion fortress and left to attack the planet belonging to the Union.
This is the first attack with no clear purpose, the purpose of which is the fight itself.
‘What’s the command? Attempt to take over?’
‘no. Just run around as much as you like.’
‘…I really like that.’
I didn’t set the command itself. Ramon, who was sitting on the fortress, smiled as if he liked it very much, and the fortress he was riding on began to charge towards the blue planet.

“They say they are reorganizing too.”
“You bastards… you read our moves. It will be difficult to defeat each individual.”
The grumbling soldiers took their gear. At the forefront of Planet Rell. With the support of the Federation, the Provisional Government of Rell drove out the Legionnaires in the area and planned a counterattack.
There was no time. Before the Legion’s nest became wider, it had to be driven out somehow. Otherwise, they were driven out of their homeland and had to wander off another planet.
“It’s never good. No matter what anyone says, you have to protect your hometown.”
“Have you… lost your hometown?”
“Even lost to the same people. If the Federation hadn’t helped, it would have been annihilation.”
Yuri, who approached Sena, who was blankly watching the soldiers, pricked up her pink ears and murmured.
Although her hometown was not exposed to external giants, there were internal strife. For the Federation, which was trying to expand, it was the perfect condition to induce cooperation.
“To tell you from my own experience, if this is the case, take advantage of this opportunity.”
“Are you using it?”
“Ironically, a year of intense battlefield between life and death gave me a greater achievement than training for more than 20 years.”
She said looking down at her hands. The more the war, the more terrifying and tedious the battle, the stronger he himself became.
Senna had no choice but to admit it. Experiences soon became their own strength, at the cost of their physical exhaustion and their mind torn apart.
[If you get used to it a little more, you may be able to learn even the most difficult blood magic without special magic or equipment]
Sena’s player also acknowledged it. Senna bit her lip. As Yuri had said, since this happened, I had no choice but to use it in reverse.
“…what?”
“It is the flagship of the Federation. Is it a new support?!”
It was then that a large ship appeared from the distant sky through the clouds. The two of them, as well as everyone in the vicinity, looked at the planes coming down from the ship to the ground.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Ji Chang-hyun, an Earthling.”
And soon someone arrived at the scene in a vehicle.
