Chapter 65

But they had all left.

Everyone found it very hard to understand.

"Why is this? What exactly happened back then?"

"Because the 【Yorkshiremen】 are a low-class, inferior species, mere clumsy artificial lifeforms. Calling them a failed project is not an exaggeration at all."

The Princess was furious.

Because the one who spoke was Su Han.

She shouted in anger.

"As expected, you are just an evil sci—"

Before she could finish, the screen changed again. Accompanied by the opening of a spatial rift, a figure like a meteor suddenly crashed onto the surface of that planet, causing a great commotion.

It created a massive crater.

Leaving him in tatters.

However, the person didn't care; instead, after climbing out of the crater, he just lay on the ground.

Tilting his head in thought.

"The explosion radius was too large this time, leading to a chain reaction in space. I must improve it next time. The data should also be collected and recorded. Also, where did this blast send me?"

One could see the Yorkshiremen of that time rushing over upon hearing the news.

And upon noticing the man, they handed over the food in their hands.

Offering a helping hand.

Because they thought the man had fainted from hunger.

And this man also looked over in surprise.

"Hmm, decent food. Let me try it. This works."

Then he seemed to scan them.

"You gave me the last and best food of your tribe. Did you not consider yourselves?"

Haibara Ai noticed a problem.

There was a bug.

Why was it hundreds of years ago?

The Group Leader's age is nowhere near that old.

But the most terrifying thing.

Was the people present; their legs went weak with fear, their bodies trembled, and their faces were filled with horror.

Because the man on the screen, and the young man standing here today.

Looked exactly the same!!!

Holy crap!

This person is Hikari Su Han!

#84 of the Genius Society!

Many people collapsed in fear, though the Princess also noticed one aspect.

"Why? Is this the first time you and our ancestors have met?"

"Clearly..."

"Clearly you are the artificial lifeforms I created? Hehe, you are indeed low-level artificial lifeforms, but I didn't create you. As for just now, hearing this evaluation, are you angry?"

"To someone with a scientific mindset like me, I only find it inexplicable. Even in experiments, one divides the same group of research subjects into different grades—good, bad, inferior, superior. This is merely a fact. Equality for all, do you think that's possible?"

"Every life will have evolution and different expressions; they are all independent, not canned goods on an assembly line."

Because the 【Yorkshiremen】 were just such a low-class, incomplete species.

The civilization that created them had long since perished.

Facing the defects in their genes and the plight their race suffered, the civilizations passing by simply ignored them.

What they had to face next was only extinction.

After all, those civilizations wouldn't even give them food.

They wouldn't even spare them a glance.

And the voice on the screen continued to emerge.

"Hmm, in return for the kindness of this food you gave me, I will help you out a little."

Soon, as the man finished his research.

He flicked his hand.

A small tower rapidly grew larger, expanding with the wind. The Gourmet Control Tower, which created countless dreamy and beautiful legends, appeared just like that. Massive amounts of food descended from the sky; this was the beginning of all legends and epics.

The remaining Yorkshiremen wept with gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you."

"They all looked down on us."

"Only you, my lord, reached out a helping hand to us."

"Oh, these are just small matters, but I must state one thing: you are failed products and wouldn't have lived for more than a few years, or even months. But you seven are special. As long as you are willing to offer everything you have, you can allow the genetic map to spread once more, filling the land of this planet."

"Thereby giving birth to more 【Yorkshiremen】."

"The Gourmet Control Tower will continuously optimize the genomes stored within. This process might be quite long, but one day, you will be like normal life. Before that, you need the food from the Gourmet Control Tower to maintain genetic stability."

After all.

Exchanging food for food.

This was just a casual act by Su Han; the genes were just a side effect.

He was too lazy to accelerate it.

As a result, those seven people all decided to contribute themselves right then.

Some had already placed their hands on that ball of light, their bodies turning into light and vanishing, which made Su Han shake his head.

"You clearly still had time."

"My lord, it is enough. We didn't have many days left to live anyway, but to be able to exchange it for the rise and fall of a civilization, this is the honor of us Yorkshiremen."

"Fine, seeing as you are like this, do you have any other requests?"

"Can you cover up the traces on our descendants' genes? I hope they can grow up in a complete state without feeling inferior, facing the world. And please, leave some words in the genes."

That was the oath of their previous clansmen.

"Perhaps no one will look at us squarely, perhaps we won't receive any rescue in the future. But one day, we will make the galaxy know our name! Yorkshiremen!"

"And remember, only that lord did not give up and was willing to save us! This kindness will be passed down to the distant future, for generations."

"That is you."

The Princess, tears streaming down her face, knelt on the ground.

So that was how it was.

On the screen, those seven ancestors sacrificed themselves, and all over the planet, there were still Yorkshiremen surviving, though they wouldn't live long with their lifespans.

It was clear that later ones were all descendants based on these seven.

And the one who had fired the shot earlier was even more dumbfounded.

"No, it's impossible!"

"I personally extinguished the hope of the race? How could this be? We are indeed an artificial race that was created, but did we suspect the wrong person? No!!!"

In his remorse, he used his gun to kill himself.

Su Han just took one look.

"What's the use of this now? The countdown to extinction has already begun." ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
