The Universe Is Innately Just

Numerous individuals ended up in the same situation as Jamie, swiftly running away from their duty as soldiers. Their determined and resolute vows were turning into smokes that whiffed softly in the distance.

No one tried to stop them as they were focused on trying to compose their own hearts. And not even a few minutes after the appearance of the ent.i.ties, the number of individuals up in the walls had dwindled to less than a thousand individuals.

More than half of the soldiers threw their weapons away as they flew toward their families. Their faces, unsightly and pale, were hidden under their helmets. One could only guess how their close one would react when seeing them.

Sadly, Walter didn"t have any family. His heart swayed due to the ent.i.ty"s world, as he similarly knew that their doom was close. But his close ones were the few individuals that were standing by his sides.

He turned his head slowly toward Johnny, glancing at the dignified armor he wore. A smile appeared on Walter"s face as he knew- without even needing to glance at the orphan"s face- that the tall man was determined to fight to the bitter end.

"I have no regrets in this life…", mumbled Walter as his eyes glanced at the soldiers that hadn"t left their ranks. Ronny, Rose, and Dorothy were standing a few feet away. They similarly didn"t show any physical reaction; Walter could swear that his a.s.sault team was panicking.

But they stood true to their duty, and that caused him to feel deep respect for them. A minute pa.s.sed as the beast didn"t move.

The four G.o.dly beings glanced at the soldiers in the rank with a bemused expression on their human like faces. They were aware of the flaws existing among mortals, one of them being the unconditional fear of death. A normal reaction- bread from survival instinct- that caused tremendous loss through New Casablanca"s rank.

Their intent spread through the many evolved beasts surrounding them. Nurturing their blood l.u.s.t as they showed them those now intelligent beasts the weakness existing in their enemies" rank.

"Puny mortal…", a rough voice spread through the wind. Unheard by anyone in the city, except for the four G.o.dly ent.i.ties that were using hidden means to communicate.

"In the end, they only amount to this… And here I thought that earthling was a brave race…", responded one of the ent.i.ties.

"Don"t underestimate them. Anyone can develop in times like these, the loss of our fifth brother is a lesson that we can"t forget."

They conversed with each other, unaware of the individual that had taken down their peer was still alive. Their heart wept the loss from their brothers, but sadly, they were aware that the gains would only be greater.

Having to share the resource of the Gigantic Tree had been a cause of conflict between them. Deep down, even with their brotherly feelings, they secretly hoped that one of them would once again die in an "accident".

"We will release the beasts in five minutes.", mumbled the leaders of the ent.i.ties. He gazed at the north defensive outpost with a smile on his lips. "This city will fall soon, and with it, we will finally be freed from staying in this backward planet.", movement appeared in his back as ma.s.sive wings spanned out of his flash.

Pure and holy energy spread from around his position, basking the slaughter aura that surrounded the beast wave under him. His figure flew toward the sky, and he once again did a feat of strength that left a deep mark in the soldier"s mind.

The reason why New Casablanca"s defense had been split in four sides was simply that those four points were where the weakness of the walls existed. It was the place where the steel plated ma.s.sive wall was the thinnest due to the fact that they served as exit points for the city.

The winged angel like ent.i.ty rose to the sky, and stopped when attaining dozens of meters of height. He glanced at the city with a bemused expression on his face before raising an arm. His finger slightly tilted forward as he pointed toward the ma.s.sive wall of the city.

Light particle curved toward him as a glinting point appeared on the tip of his finger. Time seemed to comes to a stop as the ent.i.ty continued manipulating the G.o.dly aura surrounding him.

The end of his finger blinked as a ma.s.sive amount of energy was gathered in it. The temperature surrounding him rose as his finger turned into a shining black hole that swallowed every single ray of light next to his body.

Walter and the other soldiers gazed at the scene with shock in their eyes. He mumbled in a low m.u.f.fled tone as his eyes didn"t leave the shining figure in the air, "An angel of destruction…".

Then, as the beauty from the scene left their mind, their survival instinct kicked in as they understood that the G.o.dly ent.i.ty was preparing an attack. The air split apart as, a power akin to a nuclear bomb was being gathered by the ent.i.ty, and sparks of lightning appeared in the atmosphere.

Heaven and Earth were shaken by the ent.i.ty"s movement. The next moment, before the soldiers up the wall could even begin reacting, the ray of light left the G.o.dly being"s finger.

A beam coursed through the air in the blink of an eye. Light was in the end the fastest matter existing in the universe, and that law stayed true with the ent.i.ty"s attack.

The soldiers up in the wall saw a flash of light that burned their iris. Their eyes closed in a natural reflex; a few even thought that their last moment had arrived.

Seconds pa.s.sed, and they regained their sight as the ent.i.ty"s attack disappeared with the same speed as it appeared. Walter glanced everywhere around him, his heart densely hanging near his throat, as he looked at the point of impact of the attack.

A few seconds pa.s.sed as every soldier in the wall couldn"t help but look around, but nothing particular entered his eyes.

"What a weird fle-…", mumbled one of the soldiers before a strong tremor appeared in every inch of the dense metallic walls. Gasp and screams echoed as the soldiers lost their footings.

From a distance, a few saw that the north part of the walls had been cleanly split apart from the rest of the circular construct. Horror mixed with surprise appeared in the eyes of the higher up hidden inside of the wall, as the acute alarm resonated in a stinging manner in their ears.

No words left their lips as they saw the north part of the wall turned into many cubes that began falling downward. MechSuits and the numerous metallic parts of the wall tumbled toward the ground.

An avalanche of steel rained toward the red dirt soiled by the two days of battle. Mixed with them were the screams of horror and panic from the numerous soldiers that had been standing up in the walls.

Among the dense materials that composed the walls, one could see the intricate construct that had been made inside of them. Rooms, elevators, and even offices had been split apart from the gigantic construct that protected the city from the hazardous outside world.

"They did it…", mumbled a high ranked official from the new authority that had been handling the logistic of the war.

"A ma.s.sive breach has been made on our defenses…", responded another one of his colleagues from a distance position. The rumbling sound made from the falling materials of the wall stopped as the image of their opened up city appeared in the screens in front of them.

"Our city is doomed…"

"Those G.o.dly ent.i.ties won"t be needed anymore, as those beasts alone are capable of turning the city into a h.e.l.lish nightmare!"

Information spread at a lightning fast speed as the numerous higher up gazed at the horror in the screens.

"Prepare our departure!?", roared one of the higher up in a fit of panic. He got up on his feet, sending the chair he had been sitting toward the smooth floor.

"Departure?", mumbled one of them with a rough tone. "Where do you want to escape?"

"It is time for us to honor the same vow we swore to accomplish.", continued the voice rough voice that came from a man with a high graded military background. "We will stand next to those soldiers! a.s.sist the soldiers in the fallen north wall!"

The thoughts of the higher up diverted. Mixed intention of fleeing away, and fighting to their last breath filled their thought as they knew that it was time to act.
