Chapter 287 : Star of transcendence (3)
Tiat asked as he looked at the dark expression of Akal.
“...Why not?”
His demand wasn’t outrageous.
This much should easily be doable.
But Akal smiled coldly as he spoke.
“Of course not. It’s not fair.”
“Not fair?’
Akal nodded.
“Yeah. Every other 3rd grade citizen is below. But who is that woman for us to treat her like this?”
Tiat was dumbfounded from these words.
Unfair?
Was this sothing these guys who were leaving behind all the third grade citizens to die should be saying?
“It won’t be bad for them. It’ll end for them in happiness inside there. Every one of them agreed right? That it’s better to live inside there than living in reality.
As he heard these words.
Pop.
A vein popped up on his forehead.
And he felt sothing boiling inside him.
Chiijijiiik.
Rage was one of the most distracting emotions when they were doing their job.
The chipset activated as it tried to suppress him.
“Ugh...”
While he was trying to escape the suppression from the chipset.
Tiat resisted the electrical signals from the chipset as he raised his trembling hand.
Because he really felt like he needed to punch this man.
Though the fist of Tiat, who could easily rip apart steel like it was paper, was approaching his face, Akal was completely calm.
As Tiat was about to grab ahold of Akal.
Whoosh.
The two TMT series next to Akal grabbed both of Tiat’s arms and made him kneel.
“Ugh...”
He tried to resist but it was all futile.
The chipset was still suppressing him and he could not win against the two TMTs who had the sa power level as him.
Akal smirked at Tiat kneeling in front of him.
“It was hard making you. So you originally had the rights to co on board with us. But if you’re defective then the story changes.”
Usually, they would just fix the chipset and reuse him but they were about to leave.
They didn’t have the ti nor did he want to.
‘I don’t need a defective enhanced human who can resist us in this new world.’
This was why the 3rd grade citizens were being left behind.
Though they were calculating the success rate of this plan, the Mudusella system was actually calculating sothing else.
[Should we take the 2nd and 3rd grade citizens with us to the new planet?]
Everyone was cautious.
As to how bad the situation could beco if the 2nd and 3rd grade citizens rebelled.
The ashy storm outside the barrier proved this.
Would these guys not cause troubles in the new world?
The 1st grade citizens scanned the brains of every citizen using the Mudusella system and launched a calculation.
And the results.
[Up to 2nd grade is helpful.]
[Starting from the 3rd grade, their usefulness drops and the chance of them causing issues rises.]
‘Why should we take them then?’
Even such a thing in front of his eyes might appear.
Enhanced humans who broke the chipset and went wild.
Akal had no thoughts of sharing even a bit of their precious resources to take soone like this.
Akal laughed coldly as he spoke.
“Don’t worry too much. I have a conscience you see. I won’t hurt you lovebirds.”
With those words.
Craackle!
“Kuhuk...”
One of the TMT series stabbed into the back of his neck as Tiat felt his consciousness fading out.
‘Fucking... Hell.’
Tiat lost his consciousness as he watched Akal who was laughing at him coldly.
...........................................
‘....Mmm.’
Tiat rose up as he sensed sothing whipping against his skin.
And he made a shocked expression as he looked around.
The empty platform.
All the 1st grade citizens and the enhanced race had boarded and left.
Only two lifeforms were alive.
He, who had fallen.
And Astania, who was still unconscious.
‘Damn...’
Tiat checked the status of his body but then sat back down.
‘What’s the use.’
As the MSL series who controlled the Mudusella System left, there was no enhanced race mber to pour him any energy.
Soon this giant tower, the Obelisk, will cease to act and then the harsh environnt will soon sweep over this city.
Even he didn’t have the confidence to survive for long periods of ti.
He will slowly lose energy and die out.
‘...I wanted to save you at least.’
Tiat sighed out as he looked at Astania sleeping next to him.
He didn’t know what this sensation he was feeling towards this woman was.
But he felt that he would be much happier if this woman lived and was happy.
And even more so if he was next to her.
‘Were Nepallem’s words true?’
Tiat chuckled at conversation he had with Nepallem.
He really had beco special.
He was probably the only TMT series who was left behind here.
‘I should’ve listened to his answer at least. The reason why I am special.’
But it was too late to hear the answer now.
Since Nepallem would’ve long boarded the ship.
That man was in a different situation than him.
At that mont.
“Living isn’t easy right? You would’ve been able to board if humans lived in harmony.”
“...No way.”
Tiat mumbled in shock at the voice that was coming from the distance.
Since that voice was not sothing that he should be hearing.
But despite his voice, the voice was only getting closer.
Tiat turned around and was at a loss for words.
“Napallem. How are you here...”
Nepallem chuckled as he looked at Tiat.
“It seems your chipset is completely broken. Maybe it’s a good thing? Hahaha.”
“...Why did you stay behind?”
Tiat pinched his cheek in case he had co into the virtual reality.
Nepallem had no reason not to board and he had to board.
Since if Nepallem chose to stay here, all the other 1st grade citizens would’ve forcibly taken him.
Nepallem shrugged his shoulders.
“Oh that? I just boarded a clone who looked similar to . I hope that guy is happy over there.”
“What... What are you...? Why did you not go?”
Since the chipset, which was suppressing his emotions, had been broken. Various emotions sprang up from inside him.
As Tiat mumbled with a shocked expression, Nepallem laughed as he spoke.
“Is there a reason for
to go? I’ve already accomplished my goals here?”
“...What?”
Nepallem pointed towards the tower behind him as he looked at Tiat.
“They left behind the most important thing.”
Tiat’s expression brightened at these words.
That confident expression.
Nepallem, who had overseen all the previous plans and endeavors had been left behind.
Was this not a possibility of him surviving?
Maybe the ones who got onto the ship made a mistake?
But sadly.
Nepallem made a sorry expression as he spoke.
“I’m sorry if I brought your hopes up but... Don’t make such an expression. This body will soon die.”
“Huh?’
Nepallem shrugged his shoulders.
“Why are you so shocked? Since I’m done with my objective and this body has done what it needed to, it’s ti to throw it away.”
And Tiat was enraged.
“Fuck! What were you trying to do here then!?’
Various emotions that had been suppressed before sprang up.
No, there was one dominant emotion inside him.
[Fear.]
The emotion that endangered a soldier the most.
This emotion was slowly eating away at Tiat due to the unknown future.
And as a response to this.
Booom!
A white spirit exploded out from inside him and surrounded Tiat.
A spirit of light.
One of the most destructive spirit in existence had co out.
With one objective.
To protect Tiat.
But Nepallem scratched his chin as he looked at Tiat.
“Why are you getting angry after you just asked? Anyways, my objective is... Well, you could say it’s engineering. Or terraforming. It’s making this place a bit prettier. Suiting the taste of soone above.”
“Huh?”
Soone above?
Was there sobody who was in a place higher than Nepallem?
‘Is he making fun of ?’
At that mont.
“Ah, he’s here.”
With this.
Split.
Space cracked and spliced apart.
And from the dark void.
A small creature popped out.
A small pair of wings and a shining body.
As he looked at the fairy-like creature he had seen from the fairytales.
“Huaa....”
Tiat’s entire body started to tremble.
Though it’s outer appearance was a cute fairy, there was a trendous amount of power and viciousness residing inside it.
Whoosh.
Tiat couldn’t help himself as he fell on the ground but Nepallem ignored it as he spoke to the fairy.
“It’s finished. You’re going to take over now right?”
The fairy smiled.
“Mmm...That’s how it should be normally but there’s sothing amusing here?”
Originally, as the giant Obelisk was completed and these other creatures were gone it should’ve been finished.
But how could it ignore sothing amusing that appeared in front of it?
As the fairy, who had the sa nature as god, smiled.
“Fucking bastards. If you’re going to joke around then...”
Tiat grinded his teeth as he mumbled.
This tiny thing was looking at him as if he was a toy.
But the fairy shook its head and smirked.
“No. I’m not joking around. You see, I really like people like you. You’re very special.”
The fairy looked between Tiat and the direction the 1st grade citizens had gone towards as it spoke out.
“You were born with the transcendence star.”
“Oh right, I was going to tell him first.”
Nepallem smacked his forehead.
