The Universe Is Innately Just

Fell"s eye darted toward the figure flying over the battlefield and recognized the black colored MechSuit of the police officer. His eyes opened widely when he noticed two golden-colored MechSuit flyings near him.

"Johnny came here… And that"s the old general!", he exclaimed in a soft tone before gazing at the rest of the army. Before long, he came to a simple conclusion that every single wall was defended in a different manner. But that each wall had in the end managed to excel in their defenses.

The north wall, in particular, had managed to chase away the beast wave, and although part of the fierce beast had managed to relocate toward other areas. The same could also be said for the soldiers that had defended the west wall.

Fell and Johnny were a perfect example of this, as they had shown an impeccable effect on the north and east wall that had been lacking a few troupes.

"They seemed to be well organized.", he surprisingly thought while approaching the place where the line of MechSuit stood before jumping. Among a group of silver-lined MechSuit stood one particular one, and it didn"t take much for Fell to recognize it as being Jamie"s MechSuit.

"Looks like you survived!", exclaimed the youth with enthusiasm. His voice might have been low, but it reverberated through the entirety of the wall and happened to be heard by all. His sentence might have been simple, but it echoed with the thoughts of the soldiers as the whole day had been spent in a deadly and dangerous battlefield.

With most of them fighting their first battle, they couldn"t help but feel troubled by the entire experience. But the thoughts of protecting their city where their own families lived pushed them through their limits and gave them a reason to fight to the bitter end. Their minds were the only scarred thing, and their MechSuit were signs that losses couldn"t be avoided, and many of the MechSuit were rigged with marks of claws.

A few were damaged to the point where the MechSuit lacked a leg or a piece of armor in the trunk. But they still stood in the line, ready to once again fly through the battlefield to take down a few beasts.

Facts were although this wall seemed to possess the best defenses. A common decision had been taken among the higher-ups that aided with the automaton and the police forces. A majority of the soldier of the east defense would be enrolled among the citizens that wanted to fight.

As MechSuits weren"t really a lacking resource in the city. Anyone could take the decision to protect the city where he lived, as even the most common salesman had decided to partake in his duty.

Even with all of it"s flaws, and all the schism and sections that existed among the citizen of the city. Everything disappeared when they were faced against one common threat, regrouping under one flag that united each human being of New Casablanca.

A few saw their friend die today, but they still swallowed their bitterness and clenched their weapons tighter in their hands before standing on the line. Their internal turmoils could be easily seen in their eyes, and it was only due to the adrenaline released from their bodies that they managed to keep pushing through.

A change happened in them as Fell"s word pa.s.sed through their ears, and their expression eased up considerably from the remark.

"I lived through those horrifying hours…", thought one of the troubled soldiers. "I"m not dying today!", determination flashed on his face as he exhaled every speck of air he had in his lungs. Fell"s word resonated with his muddled mind and his courage cleared up the rest of his thought.

"Looks like it had quite an effect on them.", thought Fell while looking at the freshly recruited soldiers in front of him. He hadn"t been sure of the exact effect of soul technique he had used to influence the soldiers, but he knew that the effect couldn"t be bad. He remembered the absurd effect the spider had on the other beast and thought that he might be capable of doing something similar.

As he had already seen the effect, his soul had on the savage beast. He knew that he could at least influence the earthling in positives ways. What he was dubious on was to what extent the technique would influence them, but the result was immediately felt by Fell, and a satisfied smile flashed on the face as Jamie turned toward him.

"Fell!", he said with a smile before noticing the changes that happened to the youth"s physique. "Looks like you paid quite the high price…", he added with a wry smile flashing on his lips.

Fell opened his mouth and a dry chuckle escaped from it before he exclaimed in a matter of fact tone, "You lose some, you win some. It"s all a matter of sacrifices, my friend.".

A burst of laughter escaped from Jamie"s throat, but it soon died out as he saw that there was a shift that was happening near the jumping areas. "Got to go do my job. Go take some rest, and leave this for us!", he added while flashing a thumb up toward the young cultivation.

He then donned his helmet and ran toward the jumping area with heavy steps before readying himself. It took a few seconds for the area to fill, and a decent-sized garrison of MechSuit jumped out of the wall and flew toward the battlefield in a straight and forward manner.

Fell saw the scene unravel many time in front of his eyes, and after dozens of minute pa.s.sed. He decided to go rest on the wall, he walked away from the lines of MechSuit and sat in a place close to the numerous cannons. He soon closed his eyes, and washed away the sound from the cannon beam close to him.

Before long, he reappeared inside of his soul palace and inhabited his ego body. At the next moment, he made contact with his spatial pocket and summoned the strange rock to appear in front of his body. His physical body"s hands moved and made contact with the purple stone that laid quietly in the middles of his palms.

"Release.", a silent mumble escaped from his lips. "With this much soul energy, to which level will my soul palace and ego body develop to.", he thought before the pore of his hand opened and subtle yet constant stream of purple wisps entered inside of his body.

Even since the veined white-colored hole appeared in his body, his soul cultivation had firmly stood half a step inside of the next realm of the soul path. The information about it was vague in the cultivation technique given by Anzar, but it still gave him the very basis of the soul path"s second realm.

Will Awakening, or the development of his soul palace and ego body. Not a lot of information was given by his cultivation method, but he was aware that this was the real first step of soul cultivation. This was where a soul cultivator"s true strength appear in grand sight, the same could be said for his other cultivation paths, but for soul cultivation, this step was even more important due to the existence of the ego body.

The ego body was to his own will, what Little Gold was to his heaven and earth energy. A condensation of his own persona, before attaining the second step was a clear sign of the strength of his soul. He didn"t know if a major change would happen when he would break through to the second step, but he was still interested in doing so.

Any advance in his strength, even the most minute, was equivalent to raising the success of their fight against the beasts.

The clear stream of purple cloud made its way toward his soul palace, and before long, Fell focused on absorbing and refining the constant stream of energy coming from the stone. A few minutes later, he saw his progress with the decent expansion that happened to his soul palace.

"I can feel the thin line separating me from the second step.", he thought with a deep light shining in the eyes of his ego body. "The soul palace is the foundation of my soul cultivation. In my current state, I can only guess that my soul palace"s size is still lacking compared to a true second step soul cultivator..."

"But what I lacked can be filled with the power existing in this stone!", he clenched his fist around the stone in a tighter grasp.
