"They are facing the Faction, although a considerable portion of the upper-ranking Faction corrupted by demons leads them, but as long as the newborns remain unmoved, the Faction will not truly merge with the demons."

Translate: "\"They are facing the Faction, although a considerable portion of the upper-ranking Faction corrupted by demons leads them, but as long as the newborns remain unmoved, the Faction will not truly merge with the demons. \"

Although no one had the leisure to slowly explain the current situation to her, from the trio's not-too-cryptic conversation she also pieced together a rough picture of the demonic turmoil and the Faction's landing disaster; the most direct manifestation of the former was the somewhat absent-minded little Ifrit and big Ifrit beside her.

The demons' assimilation should be an irreversible process; even if the older girl blasts the younger one away, it cannot be saved, yet this strange monster… youth, actually can restore the little Ifrit to its original form with just a card…

Normally, this youth would likely have become a honored guest of Rhine Life; many acquaintances and colleagues she knows would point to this power as a pursuit of honor in scientific research… but now thinking about it is pointless.

Translate: "If it were normal times, this youth would likely have become an honored guest of Rhine Life; many acquaintances and colleagues she knows would point to this power and pursue honor in the scientific field…… but now thinking about it is pointless."

Compared to why she herself is still alive, why the Ifrit can revert, and other missing persons in the company… the matters these three 'people' are busy with are what she cannot ignore as the main focus.

Translate: "Rather than why she herself is still alive, why the Ifrit can revert, or why others in the company are missing…… the matters these three 'people' are busy with are what she cannot ignore as the main focus."

However, if she wanted to stay here, she probably shouldn't have said that, because after she said it, the man resembling someone from Yan State turned his head to look at the youth resembling someone from Latanian.

"You're getting more and more off-topic, you two." Omer clapped twice, cutting off the conversation; he had somehow walked up to the projection screen, raising his hand to prop up the curtain and look at both of them.

Translate: "\"You're getting more and more off-topic, you two. \" Aomo clapped twice to interrupt the conversation, having at some point walked up to the projection screen, raising a hand to prop it up and gazing at both of them."

Translate: "\"Our focus is here; by the way, could you explain exactly what principle underlies the demons' influence on reality's collapse? \""

He used to be able to directly consult the meticulous teacher before, but from just now the other party hasn't replied at all; perhaps something happened to reality… He had to give up the assistance of this off‑hand little dictionary, but fortunately there are still two 'classmates' on site.

Translate: "He could previously ask the meticulous teacher directly, but since just now the other party hasn't replied at all—perhaps something happened in reality—so he had to give up the assistance of this off‑hand glossary; fortunately there are still two 'classmates' on site."

"When demons gather and coalesce into a multitude, the very dimensions of space will begin to fall into disorder," Kasheyna, who is inclined to teach, said; even though Omer had previously said he came from the Wasteland, she didn't ask why he didn't know this demon common sense, "Itself will gradually draw closer to their stronghold, the Wasteland."

Translate: "\"When demons gather and coalesce into a multitude, the very dimension of space will begin to destabilize, \" Kasheyna, who is inclined to teach, said—even though Aomo had previously said he returned from the Wasteland, she did not ask why he didn't know this basic demon lore—\"itself will gradually draw near their stronghold, the Wasteland. \"

"That is another dimension of space, eternally changing; all rules and reality will be annihilated the moment it touches them, so we must not let that dimension contact our world."

Translate: "\"That is another dimension of space, eternally shifting; all rules and reality will be annihilated the moment they touch it, so we must not let that dimension contact our world. \""

"Speaking of this, we must ask how you managed to survive safely from there," Wang said, looking subtly at Omer, "The Utica you spoke of can only exist within the domain you yourself created, yet you wander outside it?"

Translate: "\"Speaking of this, I must ask how you made it out of there alive, \" Wang looked subtly at Aomo, \"You said Utica could only exist within the domain he himself created, yet you wander outside it? \""

"Am I not myself an isolated domain?" The youth shrugged indifferently, "Or you could understand that I don't come from your reality here; perhaps, in terms of existential domain, I am closer to the demons."

Translate: "\"Can't I myself be an isolated domain? \" the youth shrugged indifferently, \"Or you could understand that I am not from your reality here; perhaps, in terms of existence domain, I am closer to the demons. \""

Translate: "\"If that's the case, then walking down the road you should be setting off chain explosions. \""

"Are you that serious?"

Translate: "\"You're serious? \""

"Because your power might be the decisive trump card."

Translate: "\"Because your power might be the winning trump card. \""

"I don't deny that," Omer replied with a slight nod, then turned to Kasheyna, who had finally put down her phone, "How did your conversation with them go?"

Translate: "\"I don't deny that, \" Aomo gave a slight nod, then turned to Kasheyna, who had finally put down her phone, \"How did your chat with them go? \""

"The minimum limit of the unified will is to preserve Ursus," Kasheyna said lightly, "Only on this basis can I and my 'Serpent Scales' truly give our all."

Translate: "\"The minimum limit of the unified will is to preserve Ursus, \" Kasheyna said calmly, \"Only on this basis can I and my 'Scales' truly give our all. \""

"That was brought up right from the start, wasn't it?" Omer nodded calmly.

Translate: "\"That was brought up right at the start, wasn't it? \" Aomo nodded calmly."

Kexiqie, the prior incarnation of Kasheyna, was once called the Immortal Black Snake; he himself apparently liked that title, naming the organization he cultivated the Serpent Scales, which spread throughout all of Ursus.

Translate: "Khesh, Kasheyna's former self, had once been called the Undying Black Snake; he himself obviously liked that title, naming the organization he cultivated 'Scales', which spread throughout all of Ursus."

Omer felt that, when necessary, one of those Serpent Scales could also become Kasheyna's new vessel.

Translate: "Aomo felt that, when necessary, one of those 'Scales' could also become Kasheyna's new vessel."

For beings of this sort—those whose spirits can attach to different bodies to achieve immortality—the value lies not in life itself, but in the value that life can create.

Translate: "For beings of this sort—mental essences that can attach to different bodies to achieve immortality—the value lies not in life itself, but in the value life can create."

Precisely for this reason, the Immortal Black Snake personally forged the dark side of the Ursus Empire.

Not to overthrow, but to employ any means necessary to steer this nation toward the next millennium, the next after that, and the next after that…

He loves that land more than anyone else, wanting Ursus to still be able to spark starlight in his palm.

Translate: "He loves that land more than anyone else, wishing Ursus could still spark embers in his palm."

From this perspective as well, He is firmly bound to that land, like an earth‑binding deity, which is why Omer had some leeway to persuade him; but precisely because of that, his price for cooperation is also very high.

Translate: "From this perspective as well, he is tightly bound to that land, like an earth‑binding deity, which gave Aomo room to persuade him, yet precisely because of this, his price for cooperation will also be very high."

After all, the Ursus Empire's hallmark is its vast territory.

Translate: "After all, the Ursus Empire's main selling point is its vast territory."

And likewise sharing this trait are…

"And you? Will you protect Greater Yan?" Omer turned back, looking at the calm-eyed Wang.

Translate: "\"And you? Protect Greater Yan? \" Aomo turned back, looking at the calm‑faced Wang."

The latter, too, had already prepared a plan premised on protecting Ursus; hearing this, he slightly furrowed his brows:

Translate: "The latter, too, had already prepared a plan premised on protecting Ursus; hearing this, he slightly furrowed his brow:"

"You clearly know I don't care about that land."

Translate: "\"You clearly know I don't care about that land. \""

"But your brothers and sisters probably don't think that way."

Translate: "\"But your brothers and sisters probably don't think that way. \""

"... Then we'll take them into account as well."

Translate: "\"…Then we'll factor that in as well. \""

After a brief silence, Wang nonchalantly shrugged it off.

Translate: "After a moment of silence, Wang gave a carefree, laid‑back shrug."

It's pretty clear that trying to rank oneself against one's siblings right now is simply unrealistic, just pure internal drain.

Translate: "He likely realized that trying to rank himself against his siblings in this brief moment is unrealistic, merely pointless internal strife."

"Then let's change venues once our planning is fully complete," Omer said, nodding.

Translate: "\"Then let's change venues once our planning is fully complete. \" Aomo nodded."

By now, complaining about the goal of defending almost an entire Eastern continent is a waste of time; moreover, honestly speaking, if we seriously assess the difficulty, this challenge is actually relatively easy.

Translate: "By now, cursing the goal of protecting almost an entire Eastern continent for oneself is also a waste of time; moreover, frankly speaking, if we seriously gauge the difficulty, this challenge is actually relatively easy."

After all, whether it's Wusas or Great Yan, both their national and military power exist within T1.

They even touched the edge of T0.

As for you asking who the proper T0 is.

That's probably the living Ageer.

Although Aomo thought they should have been the first to be sent, but when it comes to national strength and military power, just look at those deep-sea hunters with their special technology and odd physical fitness to see a bit of it.

It's just that Taila has its own excellent matching mechanism, and the deep-sea hunters' strength is inseparable from the merit of the Faction's genes; thus, seeing the Faction now ashore and even taking off, any movement from Ageer can only be said to have won the resurrection race.

But for now, it seems there's indeed no movement over there; perhaps the small advertisement hasn't been finished yet.

But after they made that decision, the other people present were instead stunned.

"Huh? Wusasi and Flame? What about here? What about Gelunbiya?" Yifulite first asked.

She had always been interested in Aomo's monstrous power, and when Aomo acted to help her rescue her own NPC self, she felt even more grateful, thinking that this way everyone could get along well, but immediately heard the other party say this.

"Although it's a bit regrettable, but this isn't a topic that can be negotiated." Still polite, yet with a distant coldness, Aomo stood between Wang and Heishe, together looking back at that girl who, even though the same age as them, was still half a head shorter.

"You can bring those you can convince to come to that land together, but as for that land, we are powerless."

"Gelunbiya? What's there to care about in a country that's always causing trouble?" said a Ursus university teacher who isn't really qualified to say that.

"Your research might come in handy." The person good at chess, the Stupid Chess Basket, looked around, surveying this lab that, though half-destroyed, still could find equipment like projectors and computers, and finally glanced at the young miniature beside her.

"But it might also breed greater hidden dangers."

"Just as they said," Aomo looked at her, "What can Gelunbiya do for this civilization's struggle? What is there that we must absolutely protect? Or rather, what is there worth you protecting?"

"……" The girl was momentarily at a loss for words.

Aomo could see that she actually wasn't that attached to this land either; perhaps out of some sense of social responsibility, some conscience driving her, she didn't dare make the decision to abandon a country, which also meant abandoning countless people.

But it wasn't originally her place to decide.

"Miss Sailiya, will you join us later?"

"Let me contact a few people." Sailiya, who was already lowering her head to press her phone, glanced sideways.

"Of course, we currently have about……" Aomo looked at Kaxienuo.

"At most twenty minutes." Kaxienuo said.

"At most twenty minutes," Aomo repeated, turning back, "If you convince them, you can tell me the coordinates, and I can bring them over quickly; but if you can't convince them, then don't mention it."

"Personnel who don't follow arrangements are themselves a hidden danger; I hope we won't waste each other's time."
