Yura looks down at Orlando’s corpse in the coffin. I cleaned it as carefully as I could, but I couldn’t help but tear the flesh from the mane.
Yura, who stroked Orlando’s cold head, sighs a little and looks around. All the youngsters, as well as the future of their families, died without beating the horse. Now the Wolves are in a position to really worry about extinction.
“Sorry, I should have warned you. I guess we have no choice. But don’t worry. I will protect your clan. ”
Finally, Yura strokes the head of Orlando gently, stroking the heads of the dead children one by one and then leaving.

“What do you mean you have to prepare for war? ”
“You don’t think that’s the end of the fight, do you? ”
“We know their faults. One. That’s why you want to negotiate more. ”
“You seem to be overestimating people. ”
“You are also a human being. ”
In saying this, Yura smiled and rebuked.
“That’s why I know how cruel humans can be in front of the interests of the group. ”
“Why would such a human be here at the Conference of the Cultists? ”
“I don’t understand. What right do you have to give us to impersonate your opinion? ”
“I’m sure you have enough guarantees about me. ”
“That’s why I don’t understand! Why Old One cares about you! ”
“That’s not all. The Triads, the Golden Manes, the Joins, the Wolves and the Druids. I’ve never heard of a work you’ve made worthy of the support of the ancient tribes. ”
“So, are you going to deny their will? ”
“ ……. ”
“ ……. ”
“What do you want me to do? ”
“We must prepare an army to stop them. ”
“Do you need an army? ”
“Don’t ignore the humans of that world. The Werewolves were devastated. against humans that are physically incompetent. It wasn’t the right army. It was a security detail to protect the expedition. ”
“Is that enough to unite the forces of all races? ”
“Of course. It’s time to stop this useless internal commotion. All factions must join forces. Remember this epidemic. If each faction were not playing separately, but under the command of a unified organization, the damage would not have been so great. Organize an organization that can influence and lead all factions. ”
“Unacceptable! The Dwarves of the Golden Hammer clan plundered our settlement, the Minolen Mountains, and now you want us to forget our grudges? They won’t be able to give us back our home. ”
“Ha! When did you say that? You wretched bastards! ”
Each faction began to brawl, staring at each other’s grudges. Yura relaxed a sip of tea and said, even though it was a cruel situation that seemed to be facing him right away.
“The organization’s name is, um… Central. ”

“Abandon the identity of your species! That’s impossible! That’s the foundation of a clan! ”
Yura drank a cup of tea and said, spilling the tiger’s face with one ear the mourning of a man.
“The Northbears have literally annihilated the warrior army. How many survivors do the Wood Tigers have? No, I’d be embarrassed to call you a survivor. Deadly wounded and full of warriors tomorrow. ”
“Are you insulting us? ”
“Look at the reality. How many warriors are left in the Wood Tigers now? By the time the young warriors are all grown up, the gates will be reopened. Then the warriors will die again. During that time, you can raise warriors again? And sacrifice him again? How many gate skirmishes does it take to keep up with mortality? ”
“ ……. ”
“The same is true of the other factions. The Empire has brought in its own soldiers this time. It’s a lot of life.Does that mean that the foundation of the empire will be shaken? Don’t get me wrong, we’re in bad shape. There are many warriors of the tribe defending the lives of the Imperium soldiers. And yet, the casualties of the warriors are severe. Imagine when each faction’s power was weakened. And in the end, we have to rely on the power of the Empire to stop the gate. Would it be faster for the Imperial Humans to enslave the heretics? Or is it faster to join forces with the humans of other worlds and betray the heretics? ”
“It’s a hypothesis based on human betrayal. ”
Yura smiled brightly and said to a group of protesters,
“I can assure you, I’m also a human being. If the power of the xenogens is weakened, the Empire, or Humans, will betray the xenogens, for sure. ”
That said, High Elf Elisha quietly raised his hand and gained the right to speak.
“Is it possible to abandon the identity of a species? ”
“Of course. Every creature has a need for race reproduction. It’s basic, except that the heterogeneous have strong physical abilities and longevity, which makes them less desirable than humans. So if you stimulate your ethnic procreation needs to increase your fertility rate, you can maintain your clan. ”
“What does that have to do with the identity of the species? ”
“Every ecosystem has a cycle. It’s a system that’s been around for a long time. I’m trying to break that system. Of course there are side effects. I call that identity change. Take Elves, for example? Elves who live in forests are all quiet and calm. But can the elves born by forcibly increasing their birthrate maintain their original personality? I think it’s hard. ”
“Are there any other drawbacks? ”
“Well…… just as many personalities can come out, one clan will be divided into several factions like now. ”
“I see……. Then I hope that the transformation will be more energetic and curious than the quiet nature it is now. ”
“Elisha, do you agree with this?” ”
“Yes, don’t forget. Shortly after seven days of disaster, we face a new threat. If we were to fall helplessly here, how would you see the ancient tribes sacrificed to prevent the seven days of disaster? We Elves will survive by abandoning our species’s identity. ”

“…… Was it successful? ”
Yura mutters, looking at a small gate the size of the palm of her hand that appeared before her eyes. There are many areas similar to the concept of space movement technology that I previously studied, so I did not have to navigate through the research directions to make the gate quite easily.
Working was easier thanks to the research funds, facilities and materials that could be gained close to unlimited. After a brief glance at the gate, Yura picks up one of the two military radios that she snatched and throws toward the gate during a defense battle that was sitting on the table.
Then, as I waited for a cup of tea, the radio I had lit up, and the radio started to connect with the noise I was supporting.
“Hello. Nice to meet you. You don’t need to introduce me, do you? I’d like to make a mutually beneficial proposition, would you call in a supervisor? ”

“What’s going on? ”
Yura welcomed Elisha without notice. Somehow, Elisha, with a slightly stiff expression, looked at Yura with heavy eyes.
When Yura tilted her head in response to Elisha’s silent gaze, Elisha opened her mouth with a sigh.
“Is Yura seeking revenge in this world? ”
“Hmm? What does that mean? ”
“If Yura wants revenge, we will gladly accept it. Can’t you just be satisfied with the people involved? I earnestly pray that God will have mercy on the children of the ignorant. ”
On his knees, Yura smiled and said, in the image of Elisha praying.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why would you misunderstand that? ”
“I know I’ve made contact with people from all over the world. ”
In response, Yura corrected his slightly shaken expression.
“Oh, my God. I thought you hid it well. How did you know? ”
“It’s the same as finding Yura. Disasters are not disappearing, they’re stopping them, and the ancient tribes, including the Old Circle, are sealing the disaster with all their might into the forbidden land. To do that, all the ancient races had to be assimilated with this world. Old One is the only living proof of the existence of the Ancients, and as a representative of Old One, I can feel a slight memory of Old One being assimilated in this world. ”
“…… that’s an amazing phenomenon. So Old One knows everything that’s going on in this world? In real time?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it’s easy to get rid of me, right? ”
At Yura’s words, Elicia shakes her head as if she could never do it with a tearful expression.
“How can I do that to someone who needs to atone? We just want mercy. ”
At that, Yura sighed.
“Truly… different from humans. ”
“ ……. ”
“Go ahead. My revenge is not yet complete. But the target is not this world. I was grumpy and resentful, but I would have died knowing nothing anyway. ”
“Thank you. Thank you very much. ”
In Yura’s words, Elisha stood up thankful for her elongation. Yura said towards Elisia.
“Oh, and how many people know exactly what I am? ”
“What do you mean……. ”
“I mean those who know that I am part of the original sin and that I am to be redeemed. ”
“It’s just me. The survivors of the ancient tribe are still too young, so I will let you know if you take the place of the next clan.” And the other Wolves who knew about this… ”
“Everyone I know is dead. Okay, promise you won’t tell anyone about me. ”
“Yes? But then others will disrespect Yura. Those who are still being rude to Yura… ”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to see my affections anymore. ”
“Apologies. I swear on my clan’s name, I will not speak to anyone. ”
“Thank you.”

“Our clan has been harmed by the war between the humans! They have viciously sacrificed their families’ children! We must avenge him!”
“Sacrificing means the Horsemen have appeared? ”
“Yes! The Black Wizards, servants of the Mages, are on the move! Corpses roam the streets! ”
“Their vigor is so strong. The power of the Empire alone cannot stop it. ”
“Not only the devil, but also the heavenly host. A civil war broke out in the southern part of the Empire. ”
“Are you sure of the heavenly host? ”
“Suddenly, a man called the Second Coming of God appeared. Those who blindly follow him are already tens of thousands. ”
“Whoa! The expedition alone is killing me! Why are the Heavenly Nation and the Horsemen reappearing after seven days of disaster?“ ”
