Valkyrie Base 73.
Valkyrie leaders with VIP status were gathered in a bunker in the mountains of the southern continent.
In wars fought around the world, humanity’s victory rate was less than 7%.
But if it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have been able to guarantee even that 7%.
“Urgent! Bornai’s 7th Brigade destroyed!
“Four million demons are crossing the Max Mountain Range.”
The flag of the 7th Brigade disappeared from the 3D map placed on the military table.
Next, four red horses representing one million units moved to the Max Mountains.
“Commander General, response strategy.”
The strategic officers who had reorganized the military guidance through intelligence all turned to look at one person.
Valkyrie General Mercodyne Iruki.
He was on the verge of death due to excessive overdrive in Ex Machina.
He was thinner than before and his hair was grayer, but his gaze as he stared at the military map was unwavering.
‘It’s really tricky.’
It is not a war that can be won from the beginning.
All the military can do is minimize damage and buy time.
The reason he was able to defeat so many powerful men and take charge of the military was because of the poisoned chalice.
‘Counterattack is impossible. ‘You need to step back a little further.’
But Iruki won.
The 7 percent win rate includes the performance of Oh Dae-seong of the Ivory Tower, but he achieved something miraculous in achieving victory against Havitz’s army.
Electricity sparkled in Iruki’s eyes.
‘Overdrive.’
The residents of the ivory tower, the ‘card gamers’, watched Iruki in amazement.
‘It’s a miracle to be alive.’
Although Iruki opened his brain, strictly speaking, he was eaten by the Ex Machina.
‘That momentary synchronization.’
Iruki thinks like Ex Machina.
‘The world of quantum probability.’
In fact, humans probably don’t need to know that much to win the war.
‘It is enough to be cut when you cut and to be pushed away when you push. ‘Because war is ultimately just the interaction of particles.’
This is called the law.
‘But Satan is outside the law.’
Iruki defines it this way:
The essence of Havitz is that the state exists as a probability before the result is observed.
‘You can’t predict chaos.’
However, if you are Iruki, you can establish a new strategy at that unpredictable point.
‘You don’t lose because you deserve to lose. It doesn’t mean you will necessarily lose. The moment we respond to Havitz, the outcome is fixed as a loss event.’
Only Iruki understood Habitz.
‘Then you just don’t have to observe it.’ If we can make events proceed outside the maximum radius so that a certain result cannot be achieved by Havitz.
‘I can’t win, but I can’t lose either.’ The winning rate achieved that way was 7%.
‘Unless it touches directly, the chaos of Habitz is rather poisonous to the military power of the Balkans.’
Hundreds of millions of people have already died, but something has definitely been gained through their sacrifice.
‘The opportunity will definitely come.’
Iruki was waiting for the day when Habitz’s choice would be the handshake that would change the course of the war.
? ? ?
“Should I
say it’s strange… Balkan continued.
“You might lose. Winning or losing the war is not a very important issue. What’s strange is the reason for the defeat. What should I say? As if…
Balkan looked back at Havitz.
“You seem to be thinking like Habitz.”
“Hmm.”
Sumodo stroked his chin.
“We’ll fight back with the same strategy, right? But it’s possible because it’s Havitz. “If anyone acts like that, they will lose every battle.”
“But I won.”
Silence has come.
“If it’s too early to be considered a fluke, it’s a pushover. First of all, we divided our forces ahead of Kashan. “This is a fight we wouldn’t have lost if we had just invaded the central continent.”
Vulcan got to the point.
“Were they anticipating in advance that we would divide our forces? That doesn’t make sense either. “If he had expected it and positioned his troops, Havitz would not have divided his troops.”
Jetaro nodded.
“Because I always make winning choices. Nevertheless, Habitz divided his forces and was ultimately defeated.”
“okay.”
Vulcan was almost certain.
“Among them, there is one who can bypass the Havitz incident.”
It wasn’t just a matter of distance.
“I don’t know how. How is that possible? But there’s no way to explain it other than that.”
Natasha asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but anyway, how dangerous is it for us?”
“I think…
when Vulcan is about to speak.
“Shall I quit?”
Habitz, who was squatting, raised his head to the sky and spoke softly.
“what? Habitz?”
Vulcan asked back, doubting his ears.
“Shall we stop here? “Suddenly a thought occurred to me.”
It was a complete denial of his actions so far, but it was rather Harvey Tsu-like.
Vulcan asked.
“What is the reason?”
“
Is there a more fun game in the world than this? But Habitz yawned a little.
“I find it boring.” Jetaro said with an apologetic face.
“I’ll try to develop a more fun way to kill
.”
“If you think about it… humans are also very pitiful
.”
The eyes of my colleagues opened wide.
‘Havitz sympathizes?’
It was impossible.
“For humans, life is everything. “If you can survive, fun is a good thing.”
Sumodo realized.
“Are you Wuorin?” “Uorin said he loves Shirone. “What part of you changed when those words changed?”
“Not really??????
It was fun and exciting, so I don’t regret sacrificing my wife, Abella.
“It’s just boring.”
It is no exaggeration to say that Habitz had the whole world, but loneliness was inevitable.
‘I want to play.’
I just… thought of Abella.
‘I want to play.’
Habitz stuck out his lips toward the sky.
“Muuuuuu.”
When a sound like a cow bellowed, the four Gustavians turned to each other.
“Muuuuu.”
Dry crying without even a single tear.
It was extreme sadness.
‘Time of day.’
Sirone pondered Seongeum’s words.
Currently, war is in full swing in many countries around the world, and many people are still dying.
However, since Jincheon was the same, he thought that there must be a reason for Seong Eum’s suggestion.
“why?”
Sirone asked.
“It’s enough even after the war is over. Why is spending a day with me important in the first place?”
Seongeum tightly closed her mouth.
‘I’m sorry, Sirone.’
The reason it cannot be revealed is because it is closely related to the safety of the Jincheon Empire.
“I already know how important the war in the Central Continent is to you.”
Amy.
“My dear woman, and your homeland, the Kingdom of Tormia, is also close to the front line. I know it’s too much to ask. But you said you would give me 10 days.”
Seongeum looked straight at Sirone.
“It’s because my power gave you 10 days. Trust me. “Give me one day and I will do whatever it takes to buy you more time.”
Because I knew the strong nature of my voice, there was no need to doubt my words.
The only thing that bothered me was that I didn’t hear the reason, but even now, time was passing by.
“good.”
Seongeum’s face suddenly brightened.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
“But what are you going to do all day? “Is there something you have in mind?”
“As you know, ether waves are the ability to shake the spatial force field in space and time. So, you can go wherever you want, but…
Seongeum raised her head with a faint expression.
“Looking back, I realize I’ve never been anywhere.”
Sirone stared at her.
“There are no grand plans. Just for one day… help me see the world.”
‘You think you’re going to die.’
Otherwise, there was no reason for his voice to suddenly become a candidate for the Ivory Tower.
“okay.”
Knowing how high her Kar was, Shirone decided to follow her wishes for now.
“Go where you want to go. “I’ll follow you wherever you go.”
“So?…”
Seongeum looked at Lee An, who was standing behind Sirone.
“Go and come. “I’ll be waiting here.”
Ryan must have sensed some kind of resolve from her and got up from the table and sat down on the bed.
Seongeum expressed his gratitude with a small nod and cast an ether wave.
The bodies of the two people were sucked into space, and a completely different landscape was revealed.
“Where?”
It was a valley with a small waterfall.
Seongeum, sitting on a rock, took a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction.
“I’ve never been to a place like this with anyone in my life.”
This is because Youngbo was not allowed.
“When I think about it… I wonder what I lived at such a distance for.”
Sirone sat next to Seongeum.
“It can change from now on. “When the war ends, there will come a day when we can all be happy together.”
“I guess so…
as expected, persuasion was impossible.
“tell me. “What on earth are you thinking…?”
Before Sirone finished speaking, Seongeum leaned his upper body closer and kissed her softly.
Sirone’s eyes widened at the unexpected situation, and after a while, Seongeum’s lips fell.
The only sound was the sound of the waterfall.
“sorry.” Seongeum said with her head down.
“are you okay. “I was just a little surprised.”
“…I heard that you have someone you love. I ended up hurting you. Forget it.”
That may be true, but I also felt that the voice sounds were too complicated.
Probably because it is pure.
“Why is that?”
“I used to think about it all the time. If I had someone I could walk alongside, in a quiet place like this…
Seongeum changed the topic.
“We competed together. With the stars in the ivory tower. “It’s you, me, and me.” It was an unforgettable memory for Sirone as well.
“huh. “At that time, I never thought the world would change like this.”
“You are born of philanthropy and I am born of merit. Each of them carried out their beliefs until the end. “It may sound funny to say this, but sometimes I’m proud of you guys.”
“You are strong enough too. And I’m still fighting for the world.”
“…I guess so.”
Sirone’s praise made me feel better.
“Time and space are actually one field. “If you fight for the world, that’s enough for me.”
I’m not afraid.
“If you’re having bad thoughts…
“The day has only just begun.” Seongeum got up from his seat.
“I don’t want to think about it right now. It would be okay to enjoy this moment a little more. “Let’s go somewhere else.”
“uh? already?”
“Because I have to fulfill my lifelong wish. “I don’t want to miss a single thing.”
“I don’t mind if it takes more time.”
I didn’t want to put pressure on her.
“no. One day is enough. “In return, I have a favor to ask.”
Seongeum extended her hand to Sirone. “Can you hold it for me?”
Sirone, who was looking at her thin outstretched fingers, slowly took her hand.
‘No matter what you think… you will never let go of this hand in the end.
