Prison
When we got out of the seal, the original, Shiro's ship landed immediately.
Looks like some inspection and replacement work is needed.
Without hesitation, they declared, [We are less skilled than Elfriade, so this work is necessary].
-…I see, peace?-
"Yes, they need a way to survive without fighting."
In the meantime, I talk to Director Neildam about the future.
-Ain, can you and Dean's forces annihilate them?-
"I'm sorry, but it's not possible. Even with all our strength, I don't know if we can defeat the original..."
- I see... they're moving to Kirilicheva. That's what they said?-
"Yes, definitely."
-It's true that the environment around that area was left unfinished, and I wish they could leave the seal.-
"But…"
-Yes, there is a possibility that the migration plan itself is a sham-
If they find a way to get into the space, they might start an invasion of us.
That is a concern
-Ain, collect information in the sealed land-
"What kind of information would you like?"
-Everything you see. Find out their true intentions.
"I got it"
――――――
The next day
Replacement and inspection were completed in the morning.
It seems that we will head to their residence at noon.
I don't have anything to do during that time so I go out and see the sea.
"Is this the ending of Palpatna Dean?"
"Yeah... it's a terrible ending."
The Original and Tenrei talking outside looking at the ocean
"Shiro, you have a visitor."
"Copy, no, Ain?"
"Hello... what were you looking at?"
"I was watching those guys."
There were a lot of insects in the direction the original was pointing.
"There used to be no life forms around this Tuega."
Tenrei begins to explain to me, who doesn't understand the situation.
"Even though there were no decomposers, a large amount of organic matter was being dumped from Tuega, and the ocean was becoming polluted."
"So these bugs?"
"Yeah... it's an excellent decomposer, and it can eat as much organic matter as it wants and multiply."
"I don’t think it’s good to have them multiply too much, do you?"
"There are just the right number of insects around here. When the population density increases, they start cannibalizing each other and the number of individuals drops below a certain level."
Furthermore, it becomes an adult in 20 days after birth.
Born 15 days after spawning
And once they spawn, they die.
"What is the ending of Palpatna Dean mentioned earlier?"
"Oh, that?"
When I bring up the topic, the original immediately becomes harsh.
"The Elfriadians who survived as Almana Quantum inside the seal went outside the seal. In other words, they possessed the descendants of the elves or were they spirits... or were they souls? Well, it doesn't matter either way, they were trying to get a new body."
"I heard there are survivors, though?"
"About 100,000."
"Where are they?"
"Tenrei discovered that there was a priority speed for the takeover. It seems that the system was such that the smaller the person, the more likely they were to be targeted."
"…No way."
If that’s the case, they’ll take over the descendants of the elves living in the Sealed Land,
"The elves, who were created by incorporating the elements of all living things, performed various ancestral returns in the Sealed Land. People, animals, plants... insects."
I saw insects eating each other right in front of me.
"Tenrei, what about the generational change?"
"I'm sure they've already replaced one generation completely."
"That’s the thing."
The original looks at Tuega as if it has lost interest in the insects.
"They're insects with little self-awareness, and if they possess one of these, they'll lose most of their memories of when they were humans."
Tenrei continues to explain next to me, looking at his back.
"If the creature that took over dies, will it be taken over by a new one, or is it just a one-time thing? I don't know, but even if it's the former, it will probably remain a bug for another 200 years."
They will be reincarnated as an insect repeatedly for 200 years.
If that is correct, what will their consciousness be like when they are released?
