Chapter 131 (1/2)
“What are you protecting this world froers areanda balance of resources within our domain, this operation controls and adjusts the population and s… especially, huerous race, so we have continually ed the population”
“Are erous?” San asked as he tilted his head He was truly curious about this aspect
“Meteorites are no joke In a word, it’s not an exaggeration to say that this universe is just a e of e I towards from who knohere to this star or planet every second The smaller ones are filtered by the atmosphere, but occasionally,one of theine this… their speed is tens of times the speed of the bullets you used in Episode 285 It hits the planet’s surface in just a second after it enters the at for just one second, the terees Fahrenheit, 10 times the surface temperature of the sun Ten-meter-thick steel would melt in one second under that temperature, never mind the destructive qualities of the i catastrophes accurately before they enter the ath industry You can liken it to the Atlas from your world, the one who supported the sky with his shoulders”
“I guess if such a e,” Biyeon commented
Senun narrowed his eyes and looked at the two Silence ensued for a while After a brief moment of silence, Senun spoke up once e… just because a projectile is one kiloe, right?”
“…”
“assu that one is several kilometers in diameter, ninety percent of the life on this planet will be lost Now, do you have a sense of the power ofthe possible catastrophe in earnest They both thought, ‘Is a meteorite that destructive?’
“If a h wall of dust everywhere within a radius of 1,000 kiloht for at least a year or more because of the excess dust that was kicked up into the planet’s ate would ensue Furthermore, the ten percent survival rate is also a very optierous It’s not soainst”
“…”
“Your people never considered all of this, have you? Hoas it possible to sustain life on this planet for hundreds of millions of years even under such atrocious conditions? Do you think you’re just outrageously lucky? Do you still believe that you humans have prospered and conquered the world? The fact is, the word that you throw around, ‘conquest’, is really funny It ons have been protecting us? With this Forest of Machines…”
“We’re not operating only here We have operations in the sky and in the sea You humans see it every day, but you just don’t know it”
“The moon?” Biyeon asked Senun smiled
“You can think of it as a ulate regular tidal movement and earthquakes It’s part of our overall control syste of hu his head
“You can think of dragons as the system maintenance officers for the planet We were appointed by the Creator to oversee the flow of nature,” Senun replied
“Do dragons hate humans?” San cautiously asked
“We are of the opinion that huerous as meteorites Shall I tell you my observations about your race? Up to Episode 314, humans were always the worst parasitic disease on their planet Humans broke all the balances we risked our lives to maintain every day, and your kind has run in hordes to systematically annihilate all the species orked so hard to maintain”
“…”
“Do you kno scary huration and settlehty percent of the animal species in those areas went extinct Further lethal weapons to destroy the planet There were no exceptions in every experi if humans caused extinction to their own race, but it’s very annoying when huons leave such a dangerous hues to control humans?” San murmured
“The Creator didn’t want that Unfortunately, the dragon cannot resist his wishes If one uses a Sage to intentionally kill a human, the ‘termination’ clause installed in one’s body will activate No one has been able to solve this issue Only the Creator has control over this aspect…”
“Is that why the dragon race is hostile towards the Creator?”
“The situation is a little more complicated than that, but it’s clear that the root lies in hu to listen to the Creator’s explanation beforeany decision”
“What happened to the others who came here before us?”
“I killed them all No one left alive,” Senun replied in a matter-of-fact voice
“What about us?”
“You both will probably be the first humans that I let survive”
“Why?”
“Because, as a representative of the Sages, I must prepare for the Creator’s advent Also, unlike other Awakeners, you both are a very burdensome existence In fact, I’m also very curious about your makeup and potential”
“Your response is really… unkind Could you please explain it in a si further Anyway, this place will be completely hidden soon Even I won’t be able to stay in this place any longer I have a lot of work to do to prepare for what the Creator wants”
“By the hy have you chosen us?”
“Because you're both really special You both are also very interesting… for the Creator and his enemies”
“Are we special in the sense of special specihed
“Special prototypes would be a more apt description,” Senun stated
Another pause in the conversation ensued
“What is the relationshi+p between the Creator and humans? Is he on the hu eyes Her black pupils see it i
“It is said that man is the ultimate work that the Creator, or Creator as known by e’s Book’, the relationshi+p is compared to a writer and a reader In the sense that each other cannot exist without the other, the unity of the two is what binds everything together… Also, it is said that ‘creation is like publication’ I don't knohat that line means, honestly You are Awakened humans, so you should ponder these words in whatever fashi+on you want”
