The Universe Is Innately Just

Their restless thought could be seen from the thick trembling armor that stood on top of the wall. The sun had already made its way up to the sky, and in the distance, their worst fear began slowly taking form. Humongous figures that made the earth tremble with every step they took could be seen making their way from the wilderness surrounding.

Jamie"s heart fell the moment the creatures appeared in his sight. He didn"t need to have extraordinary powers to determine that their strength had risen once again, and sadly, he wasn"t the only one that felt their changes as every single soldier came to the same conclusion.

The walls surrounding their city was doomed to fall by the end of the day. The harsh reality fell with the might of a bomb; the soldiers didn"t even try that they already knew the outcome of what was going to happen.

Their stomachs were twisted into knots under their strong fear, and a few soldiers couldn"t help but take a few steps back as they tried to slowly flee from the battlefield. Their attempt stopped the moment they noticed that their peers had begun doing the same.

They forced themselves with tears nearly spilling from the corners of their eyes, and quaking legs that threatened to trip and fall at any moment"s notice.

Jamie couldn"t help but sigh as he gazed at the soldiers" reaction. His gaze fell on a group of determined individual that didn"t move at all when the beasts appeared in their field of view. Jamie recognized a golden colored MechSuit, and decided to approach them with quiet steps.

His feet stopped next to them as they helmets turned his way. They nodded at his direction with a slightly noticeable shiver that wasn"t missed by Jamie. "Brothers… I"m afraid today is the day.", he mumbled as he couldn"t contain himself further.

"Let us fight together then.", an aged voice left the helmet of the MechSuit standing next to the golden colored MechSuit. The voice didn"t contain any fear, and even had a mellow tone from the man"s acceptance. It was Walter, the police a.s.sault team leader that had been fighting to the bitter end against the limitless sea of creatures.

The many MechSuits next to him nodded in responses to his words as they truly believed in his leadership. Death wouldn"t cause any fear to the ones that had prepared to truly sell their life for the near absent chance of survival.

Among those individuals was Johnny, inside of his golden colored MechSuit, and next to them was the rest of the a.s.sault team. There were also a few individuals that Jamie didn"t recognize, but he felt from their aura that those were brave men and women that weren"t afraid of betting their lives on the battlefield.

"Let us show them what humanity is capable of when cornered.", Walter spoke in a deep voice as his hand moved toward his helmet. He gripped the metallic structure of his armored armament and pulled it off, freeing his face from the protection of his MechSuit.

He glanced at the many men surrounding him, and couldn"t help but flash a bitter smile as his eyes glowed with reminiscence. In a split second, his life and everything he had accomplished during it flashed in front of his eyes.

He exhaled a deep breath that cleansed his thought. His gaze turned resolute as he filled his lung before roaring one word.

"Fight!", the word reverberated through the wall. His aged voice contained youthfulness and a pa.s.sion that awakened the heart of many depressed soldiers.

They had been cornered inside of their construct. Incapable of leaving the walls of their city, in fear of being obliterated by the strong beasts.

"Why the f.u.c.k should we be afraid!?", roared one of the freshly recruited soldiers. His voice shivered as his emotion floated out of his body in a bright outburst that contaminated his peers.

"We have died the moment we choose to fight!", another added as his eyes turned resolute under his helmet. A bright smile appeared on his face- even as he had nearly soiled himself from the tremendous fear he had felt- and he resolutely stepped forward in line with Walter and the rest.

"Brave citizens!", exclaimed Walter once again before pausing. He knew that for the soldiers to abandon their fears, he would need them to face the harsh reality that their city was facing. "Do not fear death! Fight to the bitter end and only then will you face true peace of mind!"

His word might have sounded depressing due to his strange, natural, acceptance of his own death. But the effect it had on the soldiers was immediately felt as they began grouping around him in a tight formation. Time seemed to slow down as every pair of eyes was locked on the advancing beasts in the distance.

Their height and the pressure they released was nothing compared to the day before. They glanced at them, watching as they slowly approached the walls where their family lived.

"You can fear them… You can run away from them…", spoke Walter slowly once again. "But we can"t flee from the promises we did to ourselves. All of us, standing on top of this wall, had vowed to give our blood and flesh to the city."

"To the bitter end!", he mumbled in a low that still spread to the ears of everyone present. His hands moved once again, clenching around the thick black helmet of his MechSuit, that he put back on top of his head.

His demeanor changed completely the moment he put his helmet back, once again turning into a simple soldier. Akin to the many hidden faces that were standing on top of the wall.

Jamie couldn"t help but steal a glance at the middle aged man. He couldn"t help but feel as though the knot in his stomach had mystically untied. He couldn"t help but chuckle as he grabbed his spear tighter around him.

But, just a minute after Walter ended the speech that had rejuvenated the soldiers" battle intent. A change occurred among the numerous ranks of the strong beasts in the distance, one that didn"t escape the keen eyes of the soldiers standing on top of the walls.

They saw the deadly and fierce beasts come to a stop a hundred meters in front of the walls. Then, the beasts parted as though they were opening a path for something stronger than them.

That ent.i.ty didn"t take long to enter the eyes of the numerous soldiers on top of the wall. Their eyes opened wide as panic filled their mind due to the sight of the humanoid figure entering their vision.

The moment they saw it, they knew that the creature"s existence was wrong, terribly wrong. Their rationality told them that no creature on the face of Earth could evolve to that rank, as they could feel a G.o.dly vibe coming from that creature.

As if the ent.i.ty stood on a drastically different evolutionary chain from them. The pure and holy aura exuded from the humanoid ent.i.ty that was slowly making its way to the forefront of the beast wave.

The contrast between the two drastic auras left the soldiers shaken as they felt as though they were standing in front of a G.o.dly construct.

"What is that?!", mumbled Jamie as his thought couldn"t come with a rational hypothesis. He stood, smitten by the beauty of the humanoid creature, and was incapable of reacting for a long period of time.

The same was true for the rest of the soldiers in the north defensive outpost. And to a certain extent, was true for every single one of the four outposts that surrounded New Casablanca. The new quickly pa.s.sed among the higher up- hidden deep inside of the walls- that began looking for the answer as to who were the four ent.i.ties that had appeared.

Their humanoid figures left them trembling with fears, and the drastic difference existing between every one of the four ent.i.ties left every single individual that gazed at them deeply shaken.

"Puny human from this backward area!", a powerful wave spread through every inch of s.p.a.ce stretching across New Casablanca. "Tonight, this city will be no more than a past souvenir."

"You can be proud of your accomplishment.", the morphed voice continued with a bewitching intent. "You have fought well with your backward technology, without any strong cultivation, you have resisted us for two days."

"Sadly… As everything comes to an end. Your time has come!".

The voice spread through the city, Appearing in the mind of every soldier in the form of an indomitable intent, brushing away the battle intent that the army"s leader had managed to awaken among the soldiers in their ranks.
