solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating an entire race of inherent psychopaths was not what Nick considered humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity was supposed to be filled with emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parents loving their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children loving their parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Partners loving each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, with the Nightmen, this would not happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't feel empathy, and love would be something very difficult to feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even amongst each other, they wouldn't feel a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Nick had a choice, he would not have chosen this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor's DNA was the DNA of a Specter, and Specters were very different from humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technically, Specters didn't even have any DNA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Emperor had once been human, which meant he had DNA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Emperor was also a Specter now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created a unique scenario that allowed Nick to cross a Specter with a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to make the Nightmen immune to the darkness, Nick had to include some parts of the Emperor's DNA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, no matter what he chose to include, the new humans would have some Specter characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around 70% of the DNA related to Zephyx and different applications of Zephyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick couldn't use any of that since the Nightmen needed to work with Pure Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20% of the DNA was a mix of Zephyx and different Specter characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the part with the Zephyx still couldn't be included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Specter characteristics also couldn't be incorporated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, wanting to cause suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anti-social people might enjoy inflicting some suffering, but that was because of other emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anti-social people inflicted suffering to feel empowered or to disperse the greyness deep inside that comes from not having empathy or love as an inherent motivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most humans willingly partook in difficult situations, like working a grueling job, to improve the lives of their loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I keep earning, my wife and children can have a happy life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what many people thought of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The love and compassion they felt for their loved ones was satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a purpose in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were doing the right thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectrum for anti-social people was wide, and there were also some of them who could feel love and empathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for those who couldn't, this inherent feeling of satisfaction didn't exist, which meant they had to satisfy themselves in other ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Status, power, wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a person only ate tasteless and bland food in their entire life, an average bread might be the brightest and most delicious thing they had ever eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many anti-social people never tasted the fulfilling feeling of loving someone and supporting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When someone loved someone else with all their being, they did everything for that other person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, getting a promotion was nice, but if it didn't come with an improvement in relationship, it might feel hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they worked for their family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the point of the promotion when it only caused issues in the relationship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many anti-social people didn't have that, which was why rising a level in status was the most exhilarating feeling they had ever felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a true purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, they tended to throw their everything into their careers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many anti-social people worked harder than almost all normal people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were not using work as a tool to achieve their true goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their work was their true goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fulfilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, as with everything, this was not true for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also plenty of anti-social people who didn't care about work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Nightmen Nick had created were not designed in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specters desired power, and this was one of the aspects Nick had incorporated into the Nightmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightmen desired power and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting into a conflict was exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It brought color into the greyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightmen were fiercely competitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried to play each other to get what they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Status, wealth, and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this obviously sounded very dangerous and self-destructive for society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was where the other aspect came into play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very high intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal anti-social person might consume everything just so that they could have everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a very intelligent anti-social person knew that without society, they wouldn't have anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Society needed to continue existing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it needed to thrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was better? Commanding five Johns or commanding ten Veterans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, you have to have Veterans in the first place if you want to command them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightmen would be fiercely competitive with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Heroes would go at each other's throats just to get the bigger pile of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, these Heroes wouldn't go for the Experts or Veterans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed the Experts or Veterans since they were the seeds of the trees that would feed them their fruit in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explaining anti-social behavior in detail would be too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a lot of these things were overgeneralized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was about the Nightmen, and these aspects fit them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the Nightmen sacrifice themselves for humanity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pffft! Of course not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they were forced to, that didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying calm in a fight was the most important thing, and many anti-social people could remain extremely calm during these situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were dangerous to their allies, but they were even more dangerous to the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they were kept in line, it would be a net positive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nightmen were warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the final battle approached, they would strike with hunger, greed, and vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fight was over, and if the Nightmen managed to integrate into society with normal humans, they could stay…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they couldn't…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, at that point, humans wouldn't need to be immune to the darkness anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these Specter traits would no longer be necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, Nick could just make normal people who worked with Pure Energy, and he wouldn't need to include any Specter traits anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, the Nightmen would be able to be part of the new society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were intelligent, and they knew what would happen if they couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick was holding their leash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they were not nice when the fight was over…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would put them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>tg:\u002F\u002Fresolv?domain=Kill_the_Sun_fastes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The author's patreon.
