46 Tue – Struggle to Survive (6)
“Utilizing the power of shape using the god stone. However, it was said that the true power of the moonlight fairies comes from this divine tree.”
While the corps temporarily reorganized its main force.
I shifted my gaze to the place where Kang Do-yeon had moved.
This was the home of the survivors.
There was now only one life left.
“I can feel it. Even this young divine tree has power.”
“…Is the Legion even going to use it?”
As my brother slowly stroked the tree, my eyes turned to the stakes scattered around.
The stakes were wrapped around the divine tree with intricate carvings engraved on them.
I heard that it was a bounty from the player.
I didn’t feel comfortable.
How would the opposing player, who did not know their face or name, see their last unit being tortured by our corps, vomiting information and dying?
When the last survivor dies, you die too.
[Don’t be afraid. The legion is feeling it]
“this.”
I quickly calmed my mind.
Other than that, he didn’t want to show his weakness to the Legion.
“We’re going to devour this divine tree.”
“Is it possible? Uh…I’ve never given the Legion a living plant before.”
The legion’s choice was as expected, but I opened my mouth just in case.
So far, plants have not been considered.
Because there are no plants around me that can grow in that barren cave in another world.
“If we can obtain the power of plants, we will be able to obtain energy through photosynthesis in the future.”
“I don’t know. Anyway, the Legion has already made a decision.”
Gang Do-yeon, who was stroking the divine head, stood up.
Behind him, the corps’ nest stretched out with tentacles and six walls.
[The power of the divine tree of the moonlight fairies. It was the judgment of the Legion that if we could use the sharing of power and the use of links, the shape power we were developing could be further developed]
“Image power…”
I muttered as I watched the divine tree slowly being digested by the nest.
The abilities of the Hunters are also the same, but it was a concept I had just discovered.
Even I was learning it.
“I think I have to go now. Take care.”
“Huh? Oh, okay.”
I just said that I would go, but I didn’t turn it off.
I silently looked at my phone.
Beside my younger brother who was waving towards the sky, someone suddenly appeared and approached me.
“Tell me how to use it.”
It opened its mouth.
Behind him, he picked up the air system he had been given as a bounty with his claws, and the flying paper dropped the air system into his hand.
I turned off my phone there.
“If there is something special, be sure to send a notification.”
[Of course]
If I don’t say it clearly, I might get stuck again, so I said it firmly and opened the door.
Just then, Cha Ji-yeon was coming in.
“In my view, the mainstream of the earth is like the evolution to which Cha Ji-yeon belongs.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was just thinking about it. Uh, so from the player’s point of view.”
while eating light meals.
Park Jun-seok, who was usually quiet in his room, opened his mouth.
“By the way, what kind of units are Park Jun-seok’s units?”
In the meantime, I asked the question casually and casually.
Fortunately, he smiled and suddenly showed me the picture.
“Aren’t they cute?”
Inside were the captured photos.
His units were in the form of dogs as a whole.
It is also bipedal, a form that can often be said to be a beast.
First of all, it was not a cave where they lived.
“Leaving information is not very good.”
“I know that, but if I die anyway, it means nothing.”
Cha Ji-yeon spoke carefully, but he shook his head.
“The player has no choice but to be careful. Even if they try to hide, some people like Cha Ji-yeon have the ability to find them.”
“…so?”
“Perhaps other players also banded together. Including units. The thing they are most wary of is probably the strongest force, right?”
His horse had bones.
Units and units that eventually have to kill each other are essentially never united.
So, Evolution, to which Cha Ji-yeon belongs, has teamed up with the general public, who are the most powerful and largest rulers of this world.
However, it was definitely an act that would make other units wary.
“My player must have a mind.”
she muttered quietly.
His expression wasn’t good. Because she had already told me that she was only a shogi horse.
“But no matter how many checks come in, it will not be able to stop this expedition.”
“Is that … right? If this expedition is turned over, people around the world will be turned into enemies.”
I turned to the TV.
There was only one story in the recent news.
The allied forces of major countries around the world, led by Evolution, open the gates in reverse and attack the strongholds of the demons.
In the meantime, people’s anger was already skyrocketing at the looting that took place across the globe.
No matter how strong a group of units was, it was unlikely to turn ordinary people into enemies.
Fighting with other units will also be busy.
“For now, we all think about surviving there.”
she said looking at me
I nodded.
But now I am not satisfied with simply surviving.
The reason I take risks and go there is to be strong.
“Ah, I’ll be quietly hiding until you come back. As you know, I’m not alone.”
Park Jun-seok laughed and went back to his room.
Now it really isn’t long.
It’s time to go to war on your own.

[Moonlight Divine Tree: 3n1699]
“The god…”
“This creature has the power to amplify the form power it holds nearby by resonating with its own energy. But it has a different real power.”
The middle of the 39-story stem layer.
In the middle of this place, where nesting had already taken place, a tree with black bark had grown from the six walls of the floor.
The tree was already growing beyond the sapling to the level of a young tree.
Kang Do-yeon tilted her head and looked up at the tree that was bigger than herself.
“Maybe that.”
“That’s right. That’s the true power of this tree.”
her eyes widened
This tree, which had been remodeled by the Legion, did not have a single leaf unlike before.
At the tip of the dried and twisted branch, something red began to grow and grow.
The Legion concentrated its energy and accelerated its growth.
All of a sudden, it was as big as a baby’s fist, and it fell off.
Kang Do-yeon took it in the palm of her hand.
It was a crude ore with a dark red luster.
“Shinseok.”
“The new Legionnaires have the ability to process and change the form of energy. The nutrients they absorb are converted into godstones with the power of shape.”
The Legion has called in new Legionnaires.
Rather than being completely new, it is a slight modification of existing legionaries.
Kang Do-yeon noticed the presence of a Shin-seok embedded in the body of an all-round legionnaire who approached him like a heart.
The Legion made a drastic investment to make some soldiers elite.
“It is a new power engine unique to our corps.”
She flinched and placed her hand on her chest.
In fact, she already had a god stone in her body.
This godstone was the best quality item obtained from the legacy of the moonlight fairies, but now the Legion has acquired the ability to mass-produce such a godstone.
A legionary came and handed her something.
Kang Do-yeon, who saw it, received it with a nervous face.
“The strongest sword.”
A special sword made by mixing crushed god stones in the carapace of the corps.
It resonated with the god stone that took the place of her heart and began to shine in a dark red light.
[It’s time to move forward again]
“…Okay.”
After receiving the order, Kang Do-yeon turned around.
lack of energy
As the size of the corps grew, and the brain grew and acquired new powers, the energy required increased exponentially.
To satisfy this hunger, of course, he had to eat anything.
[Since the Sword of the Legion has left for war, shouldn’t the Brain of the Legion also do its job?]
“I’ve seen it. And I remembered it. Everything.”
While the Legionnaires, who are the claws and teeth of the Legion, are in constant motion.
The Legion was fiddling with the cell phone.
You have to memorize everything in it before the battery runs out.
But the Legion’s brain was now much larger and faster than a single cell phone.
[So, did you get all the knowledge you wanted?]
“no.”
The corps nodded resolutely.
Science books, humanities books, engineering books, etc. that were randomly loaded on the cell phone.
I read and memorized all of them like a scan in an instant, but they weren’t very attractive to the Legion right now.
Because mechanical engineering, science and technology, and philosophy were just reference materials for him, who was completely different from humans on Earth.
Rather, I was more interested in the creation of human imagination or the Bible I requested first.
He believed that the history he and he were making together was a myth.
“But it doesn’t really talk about ‘he thinks’ beauty.”
[…]
For now, most of the attention was directed elsewhere.
The Legion heard what he had to say to his brother.
I didn’t realize that it was actually meant to me, and I thought I just got good information, but it was difficult to give an easy answer.
“What is beauty?”
The unmasked Legion stroked its own face.
A face exactly like Kang Do-yeon’s face.
Obviously, Kang Do-yeon was famous around her for her beautiful appearance, but the ‘most important partner’ didn’t think of her as pretty, but just thought of her as a living creature.
Therefore, from the corps’ point of view, Kang Do-yeon’s face was not beautiful at all.
‘More data.’
In the end, the legion’s conclusion was no different from before.
Building a new body by accumulating more data.
so, are we getting an eldritch horror waifu?
