My Children Swarm the Cosmos – Chapter 32.2

In the oral cavity of Lemegeton, it is the wave of Phlegeth in the temporary colony.

‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵?’

━𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝!

Before he knew it, the surrounding starlight had disappeared and it looked like he had entered a landscape of crimson clouds. The dim red light emitted by the red dwarf star dimly lit up the entire space as it passed through the gas.

The Lemegeton swarm entered the dark nebula.

━𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞, 𝐋𝐮𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠!

Kreion immediately sent a wave to the 4th planet.

‘𝘓𝘶𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘨.’

The answer does not come back right away.

Either Ludwig is dead, or the Mind Repeater there is also destroyed and the wave is delayed.

‘𝘐𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘓𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘯. 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 4𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵.’

Kreion sent out a few Cresecters to observe all directions of space.

‘𝘗𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩.’

━𝐘𝐞𝐬! 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫!

‘𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦.’

━. . . 𝐘𝐞𝐬?

What Kreion had just seen was a blurry stream of plasma light extending into deep space, having lost its original destructive power.

And the beam of light was clearly purple.

It was made by the Organic Accelerator Cannon of the Darwin Foundation.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦.’

Then, Phlegeth also confirmed it.

━𝐈. . . 𝐎𝐡 𝐦𝐲. . . !

The beams of light crossing frantically in the orbit of the 4th planet.

━𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐛*𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡. . . !!!

A fleet battle is taking place on the 4th planet.

The 5th planet is ominously quiet like a dead mouse.

At that moment, Phlegeth’s anger resounded from Lemegeton’s mouth.

“Berne!!! Uuuuuuaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!”

And Kreion felt it more deeply than Phlegeth’s anger.

‘𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. . . 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. . . ‘

The 5th planet, Berne’s colony, is burning terribly. The screams of dying children and the groans of children being abused in the pit seem to be ringing in his eardrums. And the desperation of Ludwig and Nazar that followed shook his heart.

━𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫! 𝐖𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐮𝐩! 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰!

The blood vessels in his eyes feel like they are going to burst. His molars feel like they are going to break. His breath feels like it is trembling. The focus of his vision feels like it is converging like a tunnel.

This is a different kind of anger than when his mother died.

He can’t scream or express it. It felt like something was burning hot inside him and he was swallowing a fireball in his throat.

It was anger directed at himself.

It comes to him brutally. Maybe it’s because of the countless waves. He had imagined it, but it is so different when he sees and feels it in person.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘐 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦. . . ‘

The deaths of children caused by the war are coming to him as a huge wave.

‘. . . 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘺.’

🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

The tallest and strongest colony of the 4th planet among the structures of the chimeraz is pouring out blood like a waterfall, having been bombarded here and there.

The result of being pushed back in the fleet battle led to orbital bombardment on the ground, and the ground battle that unfolded on the 4th planet solidified into a massacre by the Darwin Foundation.

Before he knew it, the front line had retreated to the point where the bombardment of the landing point reached the colony. Darwin Foundation’s ground forces advance, spewing flames amidst the chimeraz corpses that are spread out endlessly as if they had been hit by a catastrophe.

In the unfavorable situation, 17 Lemegetons appeared in orbit. The fleet battle seen beyond the red sky where the sunset was breaking became a little more intense than before, and the orbital bombardment that had been continuously hitting the ground subsided a little.

𝘒𝘶𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢!!!!!

In the meantime, a Lemegeton forcibly entered the sky, enduring the hot frictional heat of the air.

𝘚𝘸𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢!

The Organic Pipes, resembling Lemegeton’s blood vessels, were connected to the ground like an elevator.

At the same time, the swarm near the colony rushed under Lemegeton.

𝘛𝘩𝘶𝘥!

A swarm of Phlegeth, characterized by their scorched exoskeletons, poured out of Lemegeton’s Organic Pipe. Among the swarm, Kreion also set foot on the ground.

As soon as Kreion entered the middle layer of the colony, the throne room, the strongest Elite individual, Gats, ran out.

“Agele-nim. You don’t have to come down to this dangerous planet. I recommend that you hurry up and escape, as I and the escort will protect you.”

“Lead the Elite swarm and fight, Gats.”

“I must protect the master.”

“I must protect our race. It is an order.”

The order of the collective consciousness takes precedence over Gats’ instinct to protect Kreion.

“I understand. Everyone, this way!”

Gats and the best Elite swarm quickly ran away. Now, only Ludwig and Nazar were left near the throne.

“. . . master. . . That woman who looks like a human. . . Who are you. . .?”

Anima, who followed Kreion, tilted her head at Ludwig, who was speaking in human language.

“She is our kin, born as a ruler like me. Call her Anima-nim.”

At the word ruler, Ludwig immediately bowed his head.

“Ah. . . It is an honor to meet you. . . Anima-nim. . . I am Ludwig, the 2nd in the collective consciousness hierarchy, serving as the master’s adjutant. . .”

Anima is an extra-hierarchical being here.

“Nice to meet you. Anima-nim. I am Nazar, the eye of our race, in charge of the reconnaissance unit. I am ranked 3rd after Ludwig. Nice to meet you.”

“. . . H-How are you guys talking?”

“Ludwig has another mouth under his chin, and Nazar has a mouth inside his body, behind his eyes.”

Kreion answered instead and grabbed Anima’s hand, walking quickly towards the throne.

“Anima. There is no time. Listen carefully to what I am about to say from now on.”

“. . . What is it?”

“If I die, you will lead our race.”

“Me?!”

“Master. . .?!”

“What is this?!”

The three beings were surprised at the same time. However, Kreion explained again with a firm face.

“Anima is a chimeraz designed to be a ruler. The worst thing for me is not my death, but the future in which our race loses the supreme collective consciousness and becomes a beast.”

“But master. . . If there is a situation where master dies, then we will all be dead already. . .”

“That’s right. Are you saying that you are going to go to the battlefield now? Outside is a battlefield where shelling and bombardment are rampant.”

“Just a moment, Kreion. . . I’m not ready yet. The first time I came here today, and the children I saw for the first time. This is the first time for everything. . .”

𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬, 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬, 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬. . .

The black armor with heavy armor, which had been hiding behind the throne, walked up to Kreion on its own.

𝘡𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘻𝘪!

The front of the black armor was split left and right. When Kreion leaned his back against the armor, the armor recognized its master and closed the tissue of the front.

𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬!

Now, Kreion was fully armed. It is a heavy armor that is too massive to be synthesized immediately from within the body.

“Anima.”

“It’s so sudden.”

“There is no such thing as a first time for anyone. If you can’t even start because you’re afraid of it, you’ll never achieve anything.”

“But I’m not ready. . .”

“The fear in you is blocking your great abilities. And that fear was rooted in you by the intention of the humans who were wary of your great abilities. No matter how strong humans are, they are definitely not beings we should fear. So don’t hesitate.”

Her eyes waver.

“I don’t know what memories you have, but I can tell you that at least the way you are now is not your true self.”

“. . .”

“If I die, I want you to lead my children and our race. And if I don’t die, I’ll show you another way then.”

“. . . Okay.”

“Ludwig. Nazar.”

“Yes. . .”

“Yes. master.”

“What is more precious than my life is the survival and prosperity of our race. And now Anima’s existence can replace me. Now it is the right situation for me to put all my efforts into the battlefield.”

Ludwig steps forward.

“Then I will go out and fight with the master. . .!”

“I’m sorry, Ludwig. There is no one to replace you.”

“You can replace it. . .! I don’t have that much experience and I don’t have any special abilities. . .! It is better to fight more efficiently by joining forces with the master on the battlefield. . .!”

“Then, if you die in front of me, my fighting power will drop.”

“Why. . .?!”

“Because I don’t want to be sad or angry while fighting.”

“How. . . Can you say that. . . That’s why it doesn’t make sense for me to stay in this safe place. . .”

Then Nazar pulled Ludwig slightly with his tentacles and stepped forward.

“I will explain it well to Ludwig. We will help the master in the way we can do best here.”

“Okay. I believe in you.”

Kreion, armed with black armor with heavy armor, opened the middle layer wall of the colony and looked down at the battlefield.

The places with black are still friendly territory.

The places with red are the lands that the enemies are trying to enter.

Gunshots, explosions, and screams resounded up to the sky, and the projectiles and projectiles flying in the rain were causing death. The enemies are not pushing in from one direction, but all directions are battlefields.

𝘛𝘢𝘢𝘵. . .

Kreion spreads his black wings and glides.

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Below him, Phlegeth fans out purple flames in front of him. And the Phlegeth swarm, resistant to flames, is struggling in front of him.

‘𝘓𝘶𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘨.’

━𝐘𝐞𝐬. . . 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫. . .

━𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭. . .

At that moment, Gats and the Elite swarm were crossing the battlefield, taking advantage of the mobility of the thrusters attached to their bodies.

“Jump in!!”

Unlike other swarms, a small number of Elites know how to effectively avoid enemy attacks and exploit weaknesses.

‘𝘎𝘢𝘵𝘴.’

“What, Agele-nim? Where. . .?”

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘚𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵. 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥?’

“Understood.”

‘𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.’

“It is an honor!”

Kreion shared his field of vision and the Cresecter’s field of vision with Gats, and Gats and the Elite swarm showed off their best fighting power.

He died a lot, suffered a lot, and was pushed a lot.

Now is the time to turn things around.

‘𝘔𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴.’

‘𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘻.’

At that moment, behind Gats, thousands of Custs, which had eaten the corpses of their kin and had their numbers increased exponentially due to Kreion’s overwhelming productivity, were rushing in like waves, swarming and writhing.

‘𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘯.’

Those who confirmed the terrible number of them from the orbit could not help but be astounded.
