The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 284

That day, many souls left the grounds of New Casablanca, some left earlier than others. While many, trapped inside their armor, that had now turned into a deadly coffin where they could only wait till death arrived.

Thankfully the medical team sent on the north side of New Casablanca managed to arrive in time, and began saving lives among the deserted battlefield.

All of that happened as the authorities of New Casablanca didn’t know when the energy shield would fall. The last card they had held in their defense was something they were never forced to activate. For years, it had stayed in place, never used as New Casablanca hoped never to have to use it.

But as they saw the time it took to activate, the authorities didn’t bet their life in it and had already begun a mass evacuation of the citizen from the central district, straight to the Core. Surprisingly, no voice was raised against that, and every citizen became making their way to the Core in a massive cortege prepared by the logistic team of the authorities.

Many eyes turned toward the central district. Worried eyes that weren’t ready to leave their cities, and their family members that had stayed there to fight. Reddened eyes from their sadness, and frail bodies from the injured soldier that had been there. The injured soldiers and those who had run away from the battlefield were also here.

Obviously, they didn’t forget to take their MechSuits with them as they felt they could protect their family, somehow. Many citizens threw odd gaze at them, as they couldn’t understand why they weren’t on the battlefield like their family member did.

Their heart hung in their throat, as a few individuals among the citizen threw spiteful gazes at them due to their resentment.

“Why aren’t they there?”

“I hope that dad isn’t injured…”

“Please, God, makes it that he comes back soon…”

A few prayed unknown Gods as to keep their close one safe from the hooded skeleton known as Death. The road to the Core seemed limitless, as they worry continued to rise with the time passed on the travel. Especially, when the line that made the convoy could still be seen inside of the city, showing that their departure had only started.

There was still the long road through the factory’s that seemed to have been duplicated from the same blueprint.

Among the citizens in convoy, a familiar figure could be seen. The man’s height was tall, with broad shoulders, and an excellent physique that could be seen everywhere in the military. But that man’s face was completely different from the rest, as fatigue and tension had made his face a sad picture.

The eyes of the man, especially, seemed to be in the process of being ravaged by guilt. He sat in the back of a vehicle, and by his side was a petite lady that always threw a glance at him, sometimes flashing an appeasing smile that genuinely made the man feel at ease.

During that time, a black haired man also making his way toward a place. Only his speed was utterly different from the slow- snail-like- pace of the convoy. His figure turned into a bullet that sped with the wind. His body managed to avoid friction with the surrounding air making his movement completely silent.

He seemingly morphed with the wind, as he streaked with the wind in the direction of the North Wall. He could sense that a tremendous fight was ongoing on the east side of the city, and his sense also transmitted him that an immense mass of blood essence was amassed in the north.

He felt a tug in his soul, as the remnant of Fell’s past intent forced him to check what was going there. “Its in my path anyway…”, thought the black haired man as he sensed the exact direction.

He sped through the wall as he began approaching the protective bubble surrounding the city, and moved along it as he traversed the diverse surroundings of the west part outside the city.

Time passed quietly as he sped with the wind, and before long, in the corner of the protective energy bubble he was running along, he noticed a humongous creature trying to enter through the wall of energy in front of it.

It tried numerous times, even through pain, made them roar deafening noises that shook the sky.

The first thing, the black haired man noticed was their loud groan of pain, and the moment he saw the number of the beast, and immediately understood why roars could move trees.

The earth under his legs began trembling, as numerous beasts were still running toward the energy with heavy.

His quick steps made him divert his path from the sea of humongous creature that had begun growing to monumental heights.

“This size…”, thought the man as he had to lift his neck to gaze at the humongous monstrosity.

“What an explosive blood essence!?”, thought the man as he noticed that the blood essence of all of the creature was nearly identical, despite the very different features that gave the impression they weren’t part of the same species.

His face turned serious, as he felt in deep thought for few seconds while gazing at the beasts, the clocks in his mind ticked continuously before he mumbled in low tone.

“This isn’t natural…”. He thought that the strength of the creatures, in front of him, wasn’t a typical prospect.

“The place where I awoke… There was this type of aura… I can also feel that even my soul has been tainted by it.”

“Is that why they are ignoring me?”, he thought as he began approaching them naturally. And as though Fell was their own kind, he slid between the humongous and gigantic creatures with ease. He gazed curiously at the numerous monstrosity, and before long, decided to climb on top of one to get a better view.

With silent and weightless steps, he made his way on the body of the creature with ease. The creatures moved hazardously, but the black haired man’s legs were glued on the fur of the beast, he walked forward as he began making his way toward the center the mass of creature.

As he approached the center of the monster beasts, he noticed that the strength of the many creatures was drastically rising. Monsters, and creatures of vast and different shapes, some looked as though they have arrived straight from mythology; Three-headed dogs, Slithering Snake that gave the impression they would fly when moving, and some that couldn’t even be described as they shared too many strange physical aspects and features.

The monstrosities with the strongest blood essence gathered in the middle, as a small hierarchy immediately steps up the moment the winged entity had given the order. It was as though the most intelligent creatures would only take that order, give it the beasts weaker than it.

It was as though for it, time spent resting was even more productive for the blood essence it had. As though they were operating some kind of cultivation technique, an innate activity- unconditional through every species- that every beast that had evolved to that point could do.

Fell noticed that as he traveled through the beast wave, he analyzed its internal structure, and understood how the creature worked on order. Before long, he came to understand that it worked on the simple scale of power, the strong ordered the weak.

“It was as though the common trait they have in their blood essence work to group them as a group of cross-species…”, he thought as he made his way to one humongous creature that sat in the middle. Fell wanted to climb on top of it as it would give him the best view around the beast way, he also felt that in this area, the existence of those evolved species caused a change in the atmosphere.

A slight ominous aura was apparent in the air, making the light of the sun reflect in a strange pinkish-red color that dampened the black haired man’s view. But the youth ignored it as he walked through the beasts without his sight, and before long, he stood on top of a creature that only arrived at the base of a gigantic beast.

It was enormous to the point where one could gaze at more than half of the city from the top of its head. Fell jumped the creature’s long bony tail that could be taken for a small chain of ascending mountains.

He climbed on them with ease and made sure to hide his breath as he began making his way toward the middle part of its body.

If at first, he had been running straight, before long, he found himself obliged to climb with his hands and legs. Thankfully, the man didn’t found any difficulty in that, as he innately began climbing on the mountain like body with the agility of a monkey. It was as though the man had grown inside of a jungle of steel that made him adapt to any type of surroundings.
