Legions Grow On My Phone

246 Tue-In Search of Meaning (6)

“What do you think of you and me now? Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden…?”

The moment I received Eve’s question, my body was startled and hardened.

In my mind, the events that deceived Eve and manipulated the war situation quickly flashed through. Maybe you noticed?

But if that’s the case, there’s no way I can react so calmly to Eve’s personality.

“I’ve thought about it. I’m sure I’ve grown rapidly, and my values have changed a lot. Who I am and what I want, etc. In the process, I realized one thing. That I forgot.”

“Is that…what?”

I took a step back in bewilderment at the sight of Eve slowly approaching. I knew that Eve, who had become a mature person, was reflecting on herself, but in fact, it was in an ambiguous state that I thought I knew or I didn’t.

“It’s our relationship.”

Eve leaned her face against me with her back blocked by the wall.

I couldn’t push it. Anyway, it was a word that penetrated the core, something I was also vaguely feeling.

“It’s not my fault. Human emotions aren’t fully understood even by me right now. That’s why I’m so confused right now. Why can’t you shake me? Why can’t you drive me crazy?”

Eve looked up at me right in front of her. I looked straight into those eyes. The dazzling red blood eyes were trembling at this moment.

It was the first time he had seen Eve’s eyes flutter.

“I don’t know for sure.”

Realizing how serious it was, I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

Because the feelings between us have changed. The biggest reason, of course, was Eve’s growth. As Saint Isabelle said in the past, Eve’s presence was huge compared to me.

A gigantic being that sucks everything around and makes them buried. At that time, I could no longer have an edge over Eve and lost the initiative.

“I was afraid of you back then. When you, a small legion in my cell phone, became a giant beast that devoured a world. You might devour even me and everything around me.”

“…that’s right. Maybe it was. From that time on, it seemed that only inertia remained. When I got to know the world and also myself. It was my stubbornness that I didn’t know.”

I just said honestly that I was scared. To be precise, he was afraid of the future that Eve would bring, but anyway.

Eve listened to me and nodded herself.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I’d ever heard Eve’s thoughts on emotions. For some reason, Eve thought that way, and how is it now? It was all the first time I had heard of it.

“It’s not good to be obsessed with me. Just as a child grows up and away from his parents, so are you.”

“Well. That’s an illusion.”

I nodded cautiously, but Eve shook her head.

At this moment, I had a vague sense of what this sense of disparity was.

“Think of our ‘heyday’. When I and you both achieved explosive growth. When I first escaped the labyrinth, and you called me with a summoning ticket. At that time, I was hot. It was a burning fire, and just for that. burned it.”

“…you were young then.”

“That ‘rough’ was more correct than it is now.”

A deep regret flashed in Eve’s eyes. Sometimes I think about it again.

If I had maintained more of a tug of war with Eve, I would have rather left Eve as a legion in my cell phone.

Of course, I didn’t think that my current choice was wrong.

Even if it’s close, Eve is with a huge being.

Eve was my child. Of course he had to be bigger than me.

However, Eve did not consider herself to be my child. Eve was now thinking of me as her half and lover.

“You think it’s wrong?”

“No one knows that.”

He shook his head at Eve’s answer.

If I had kept pushing Eve who was running so wild and crazy.

Maybe even if I did, I would have been able to control the super creature called Eve.

At least, the existence of me, Shin-Woo Kang, would not have been buried without doing anything and being colorless and odorless.

“I want to get it back. That intense and primal desire and burning feelings of that time.”

“What if that happens?”

“I’ll go back to the beginning, I’ll eat everything. Everyone except us. By any means.”

Eve smiled faintly and gently licked her lips with her red tongue.

It was indeed a terrifying statement. Because I have declared that I will trample on my efforts and fruits in the past.

Knowing that, he is provoking me now.

“I’m a Hive Mind with the same rank as you, and I have 30 percent of your forces. I’m sorry, but I can’t move on your own any more.”

“That’s right.”

Laughing, Eve leaned over to me, not caring that her chest touched my body was crushed.

“Even at that time, there was a big wall between you and me. A big wall of units, players, and game systems. Even those things can be ignored, I need a wall to recreate that time now. A wall that even I dare not break easily. From what I can see… the junk in this universe we’re dealing with right now and the legions under your command are enough.”

“Is that the true meaning you eventually found after going through a period of flurry?”

Hyeonta came to the conclusion that the final evolution of the cherished yandere was an obsessive yandere, but there was nothing strange about it.

In any case, the results are similar, but Eve achieved this result by going round and round through her own mental growth, not her natural nature.

Regardless of the specimens, knowledge, and ideas I put in and instilled in them. Without genetic knowledge that predated and combined, Eve was the very existence itself.

[…this will go down in history. It is the birth of a new way of thinking that has never been done before]

Many observers who have seen many Eves and many me have confirmed this.

Is there anything more to fuss about? I reflexively placed my hand on Eve’s waist, but then grabbed hold of her back and pulled her forward.

‘Richard. Right now, move the whole army.’

Eve pulled my face with her hands, and at the same time I gave orders to my corps through a hive ritual.

‘Attack Eve’s corps. And Yoona, you leave the Casaras and go to the Federation.’

‘It’s fast. But I have to come out like that.’

Even though we kissed each other as if to eat each other, we did not hide our feelings toward each other to the extent that it was close to hostility.

Well, from the beginning, we had a relationship like this.

I’m afraid of Eve, and Eve runs rampant. This time, the only difference is that I can fight against it without borrowing the power of the game system.

“Ha… are you going to end this with this?”

He didn’t even care about the eyes of people passing by. As soon as the mouth fell slightly, Eve, with her messy hair hanging down, grabbed my hand and pulled me out, and glanced around the room with a reminded expression on her face.

“…”

“Isn’t this… the hell… we’re going to fight each other in the end? It’s not like there hasn’t been a case like that.”

“Wrong. You see that as a fight.”

“No, of course, on the surface it looks like a passionate copulation between humans, but that’s…”

Beyond the mask, a bewildered colleague let out a continuous cough. His eyes, with his back to the screen, were calm in the mask.

However, the sound on the screen was lowered as much as possible. It was a scene that I had never seen or imagined, so it was not without damage.

“That’s a game. The war of the legions that are trying to fight each other right now will be a game. All the wars in the universe that are going on in the future will also be their game.”

His voice trembled.

Except for the parties, he knew the two of them better than anyone else. Besides, I’ve seen a lot of Eve and CNU so far.

He was truly trembling right now.

“The only thing Eve eventually stamped out on her innate nature and prioritized over it was that moment of obsession with him, obsessing over him and longing for his affection. Although that method did not overlap with the nature of growth and predation, anyway, for that moment. Now, Eve is once again suppressing her nature.”

Eve grew up. I have grown mentally more than any other episode of Eve so far.

He has grown to the point where he thinks that the pleasure he is now gaining in human flesh is greater than that of legionaries fighting and killing and devouring enemies.

He succeeded in acquiring a new emotion that suppresses an absolute instinct that cannot be resisted.

‘It’s a success. This time it succeeds. If Ibra climbs the biggest mountain like this, we’ll probably get everything we want.’

He staggered and sat down in his chair, his legs weakened.

On the largest of the hundreds of screens that unfolded behind, the intertwined flesh colors continued to wriggle.
