Two days after Berne’s planet was invaded by Darwin Foundation.
A Lemegeton with its exoskeleton broken and its body covered in blood crash-landed unsteadily on the outskirts of the colony.
𝘒𝘶𝘶𝘯𝘨!!!!!!
The Hydras waiting nearby rushed over and forced open the Lemegeton’s mouth. From inside, Nazar came out supported by three Elite.
“Uuuugh. . . Humans, those despicable humans. . .!”
The Xenotera on the ground stuck to the Lemegeton’s body like tar. It had just realized the death of the Lemegeton that had just landed.
‘𝘓𝘶𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘨-𝘯𝘪𝘮. . .!’

Even at this moment, a relentless bombardment was falling along with the cruisers. The chimeraz swarms were clashing with the human forces from all sides.

𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘱!
The Skeletunnel’s crocodile-like snout opened toward Nazar. Nazar shook off the Elites and hurriedly entered the Skeletunnel.
It was a dark, damp, and wide passage.
A Kabana approached and took Nazar in its mouth.
‘𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬?!’
—𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞. . .
Nazar fused his tendrils with the Kabana’s oral cavity. He controlled the Kabana and quickly traversed the Skeletunnel.

It had been 8 days since Kreion and Phlegeth had left. Since it took 8 days to go back and forth from this red dwarf star system to the Nemea star system, they had held out for at least the minimum amount of time.
However, from now on, it was unknown when Kreion would return. In the span of two days, Berne’s planet had been almost completely taken over, and even the ‘ground’ of this 4th planet was in danger.

Nazar focused his consciousness on the 5th planet.

From inside the Kabana’s mouth, Nazar distorted his purple fiber optic-like irises in anger.
‘𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴. . . 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘶𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘨-𝘯𝘪𝘮 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴?’

At that moment, Nazar looked down at the sky of the 5th planet through the Mind Repeater.
Howitzers and tanks set up at the forward operating base were relentlessly shelling Berne’s colony.
Berne’s swarm seemed to have been almost scorched to the ground.
‘𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦. . .’

That’s what they call a last request before death.

—𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐲. . . 𝐭𝐨. . .
There was a delay in the waves that were connected in real time.
The 5th planet’s Mind Repeater had been shot down.
‘𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦?’
Berne didn’t answer.
𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘱.
As the Kabana’s mouth opened, light entered Nazar’s dark space.
The first colony, the living structure that resembled the lifeform that became the mother of all chimeraz on this planet, was right before his eyes.
𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬. . . 𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬-𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬-𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬.
Nazar got off the Kabana and walked with his tendrils. He entered the colony and climbed up the colony’s proboscis to reach the middle-level room.
Ludwig was sitting with his eyes closed next to the throne. He was concentrating his mind.
“You’ve come. . . Nazar. . .”
“Ludwig-nim.”
Ludwig’s mental power was busy controlling the swarms.
Nazar reported verbally.
“The leader of the 5th planet, Berne, has died in battle.”
“. . .How did it die. . .?”
“I couldn’t confirm its final moments because the humans destroyed the Mind Repeater.”
“I see. . .”
“. . .Berne was valiant. It fought without faltering even in the face of unfavorable odds and abuse.”
“Abuse. . .”
At that, Ludwig opened his eyelids vertically and stared at Nazar with his red single eye.
“Humans are the only civilized beings who enjoy the unnecessary suffering of other races. . .”
“I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it.”
“And even that is just one of the countless reasons why we must be enemies with humans. . .”
Nazar, who had felt the deaths of the precious Cresecters and Lemegetons firsthand, finally understood sincerely.
“They’re monsters. Evil itself.”
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
Apoptology exploded spectacularly. Countless research specimens, test subjects, massive data, training grounds, laboratories, research labs, and more were scattered far and wide into space as debris.
Kreion, who had spent his entire life in the facility, was lost in complicated thoughts.
Of course, regardless of whether Kreion was like that or not, Phlegeth, who was very excited, shouted loudly at the makeshift Lemegeton colony with his swarm.
“Look at those pathetic losers running away after being defeated! How amusing! Hahahahahahaha!”
“Phlegeth.”
“Congratulations on your victory! It was an honor to fight in this battle with the Master!”
“Report on what you’ve secured from the facility.”
“Yes!”
Phlegeth’s report poured into Kreion’s mind.

“They are our kin.”
Kin who no longer needed to kill each other.
There was no way Kreion could turn a blind eye to his kin being treated as test subjects in the hands of humans.
“We will have them join our legion. Take special care of them.”
“Yes. I will do as you command.”
The 17 Lemegetons that survived the battle advanced through space in a ring formation. It was the path of leaving human territory, hoping to never see the Nemea star, which was getting farther away behind them, ever again.
“Is there anything else to report?”
“Nothing.”
They had gained a lot, but they might have lost a lot as well.
“Let’s hurry back.”
