I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

[Yeah, what did you do wrong? ]

[Whether it was the death of his parents, the tragedy of everyone in the monastery, or the death of Nona. ]

[Aren’t all these created by those people in the upper echelons of Agor? ]

[You are just a victim, a test subject. ]

[It's not you who are at fault, but the group of people who created all this tragedy. ]

[The person who should die should not be you, but the group of people who planned all this. 】

[At this moment, after you figured this out, the sadness, guilt, and regret in your heart were twisted and transformed with the hatred that was no longer suppressed.]

【Resentment, hatred, anger, madness...】

[These negative emotions that rarely appear in you finally replaced your inner gentleness and escape, and turned into a nearly tangible undercurrent that keeps surging. ]

【But this alone is not enough. 】

[After all, revenge without power is just a farce performed by clowns in a circus. ]

[You are very aware of this, and therefore you desire power infinitely at this moment.]

[And willing to give up everything for that power, whether it is dignity, body or soul. ]

【Without strength, nothing can be protected. 】

[Especially in front of this group of people who treat other people's lives as worthless and can openly use other people's lives as bargaining chips to sacrifice in experiments. ]

[Ordinary people have no choice but to struggle. Only by giving up everything to gain strength can they be qualified to resist and protect...]

[“Then return to the herd, my blood relative.”]

[“Accept who you really are, take back the power that belongs to you, and then protect everything you want to protect.”]

[As I invited you in the past, but at this moment when you are longing for power and revenge, it penetrates deep into your soul like the words uttered by the snake in the Garden of Eden that tempted the first man to eat the fruit of sin.]

[The other 'you' smiled and hugged you, leaning down and whispering in your ear to invite you.]

[You have rejected invitations like this countless times in the past.]

[But this time, you no longer choose to refuse, but after wiping away the tears from the corners of your eyes, you resolutely accept the invitation from the other 'you'. ]

[You choose to return to the so-called "big group" for the sake of that power, and also to be able to truly protect the last person you care about and love from the hands of Agor's group of superiors. ]

[You have made your choice and finally abandoned your past identity as a human being at this moment, becoming a member of that large group. ]

[After the other 'you' left a light kiss on the corner of your lips, you also received the gift and strength from the 'unmelting iceberg' under the other's gentle blessing. ]

[At this moment, the sea heirs in different corners of the deep sea all let out low moans of joy. The blood of the sea heirs began to surge and boil in your body. The flesh and blood that had been splitting and growing in your body for many years turned into your strength, repairing your body and strengthening your flesh.]

[The invisible network from a large group is also truly connecting with you at this moment, bringing a more comprehensive truth. ]

[It also allows you, who have made the choice, to completely become a part of the group from now on. 】

【It has become a new 'reproduction' belonging to the large group. 】

【After gaining power and learning the truth. 】

[You killed those fully armed soldiers almost at will, and almost killed them in an instant under the surprised and stunned eyes of Goletia's mother.]

[But you finally stopped, not because you had any compassion, nor because you had any sympathy for this woman who was related to Gloria by blood.]

[After all, after you killed those guards, you asked them: "What do you think of life?"]

[But from Mother Goletia's calm gaze, you knew her answer without her even saying anything. Just like when she told you the truth about the monastery,

——'As long as the sacrifice is necessary, it is worth it.'】

[So you will never have any mercy on Goladia's mother.]

[In your eyes, all human lives are equally precious, and no one is a consumable to be sacrificed. In your eyes, the Archon who casually and indifferently sacrificed countless people and families for a plan and experiment is no longer worthy of being a human being.]

[And the reason why you didn't choose to kill the other party is because you have your own considerations. ]

[The sins of the Archon cannot be offset and erased by her life alone. Death is only a moment of pain. It is nonsense for you to believe that good and evil will be rewarded.]

[So you decided to spare the Archon's life and let her atone for everything she had done.]

[And the method of asking the Archon to atone for his sins is also very simple. 】

[That is to let her witness with her own eyes how she helped you destroy the arrogant and incompetent Agor, and then rebuild an Agor on the ruins of the deep sea that can truly end the lives of everyone and is no longer arrogant for a short time.]

[Even though twisted hatred and anger arose in my heart.]

[But you still know that the people you should hate are not ordinary people in Agor.]

[They, like you, actually live in a false information cocoon woven by those upper-class people who know the truth. They are just pawns that they can easily discard and sacrifice.]

[The ones you should really hate and seek revenge on are those Agor's upper-level archons who have gone astray, lost their true intentions, and been blinded by arrogance and conceit, thus committing unforgivable sins.]

[When you had no power, after knowing the truth, you just wanted to live in peace in a corner and spend the rest of your life with the people you care about. ]

[But now that you have the power, you have to shoulder an equal mission. ]

[Now that you know the truth and realize that this is just a ridiculous farce, you want to end it all.]

[So for this purpose, you did not kill the Archon, but only beat him until he was left with only one breath, leaving a piece of your flesh and blood on his body.]

[He held Nona's 'corpse' and burned down the flower shop that carried your countless past memories and past events. He took Nona's 'corpse' and escaped into the underground circulation network of Agor Water City before being discovered.]

[And finally, for the first time, you left this water city that had carried your life for nearly thirty years. ]

【We came to the deep and cold sea.】

[The water pressure of the deep sea did not make your body, which was strengthened by the blood of the Daqun and Haisi, feel uncomfortable. Instead, it gave you a feeling of being gently caressed. The cold sea water was not piercing, but silently lifted up your long blue hair, which floated slowly.]

[However, despite all the new experiences surrounding you and your body having gained unprecedented health and recovery, your heart is still filled with sadness and grief.]

[Because no matter how powerful you are now, how much strength you have gained, or how much health you have recovered. ]

[Your parents, everyone in the monastery, and Nona can no longer see it...]

[Especially Nona, it was obviously not her fault, and it had nothing to do with her. ]

[But during that time, you were able to distance yourself from Nona, who was very close to you, because of the 'gap' caused by misunderstanding. You deliberately ignored the fact that she regarded you as a blood relative and ordered her not to hurt you at any time, which eventually led to Nona's death...]

[But now that you know the truth, you have gained strength and returned to the group. ]

[You wanted to apologize to Nona, wanted to respond to Nona's affection for you, but you lost this opportunity forever. ]

[The guilt almost made you unable to breathe, and the sadness made your arms holding Nona's 'corpse' tremble slightly. ]

[You did gain power, learn the truth, and make a choice other than ending your own life.]

But what is the cost?

[You have forever lost the right to apologize to Nona, and forever lost the flower shop that once carried your wishes, happy memories, and everything in the past. You have also almost lost the right to stand in front of Gloria, Laurentina, and Skadi, whom you fell in love with.]

[You have almost given up everything you once had, lost something important again, and are now shouldering the responsibility of changing a country. ]

[After several iterations, perhaps dying without knowing anything is a good ending for you. ]

[But unfortunately, there are not so many maybes and hypotheses in this world. ]

[You finally learned the truth, abandoned the past, and lost Nona. ]

[You have no choice but to move on and use the power you have gained by sacrificing almost everything you have to change all these mistakes.]

[But just as you were holding Nona's 'corpse' on the seabed far away from the water city, planning to bury her there.]

[Nona, whose heart was torn apart, suddenly opened her blue eyes expressionlessly, then looked at your face, as if she had completely forgotten what had happened before. She touched her shriveled belly and looked at you with the same eyes as before dinner time on ordinary days.]

[And the feeling of being hungry and wanting to eat is directly transmitted to you through the large group network. ]

[You, who had originally planned to bury Nona, were stunned for a moment, and then you remembered Nona Haisi's identity through the mass network, and remembered the powerful vitality that belonged to Haisi. ]

[At this moment, you burst into laughter, but you don’t know why you suddenly burst into tears. ]

[However, the tears were wiped away by the sea water after they flowed out, but you still hugged Nona, who had a silly and cute face like a well-behaved doll. ]

[I kept apologizing to Nona in my heart, and at the same time, I kept feeling lucky for Nona's identity as Haisi. 】

【This time, you finally didn’t lose anything that’s really important. 】

[Finally, I have the chance to apologize to this little guy and respond to his naive and innocent feelings for you...]

[The joy of regaining what you lost made you hug Nona, but the fear made you unconsciously hug the girl's petite body tightly.]

[Although Nona honestly doesn't quite understand why you suddenly hugged her, nor does she understand why you were mixed with sadness amidst your joy.]

[But Nona knows that you are indeed happy, so even though it hurts to be hugged by you, Nona still quietly accepts your hug. ]

[And gently put his little hands on your back and hugged you gently. ]

[Just like when you comforted other children in the past, I clumsily but earnestly imitated your tenderness.]

[This is Nona's own choice. ]

[I didn’t rely on the crowd, but made my choice based on my own ideas. 】

[After a brief moment of tenderness, you and Nona finished your lunch and, guided by your bloodline and the swarm network, you came to a nearby hunting ground of a group of sea creatures.]

[After a quick and brief exchange of your own ideas and plans with the Hai Si here, you successfully obtained the wholehearted support and approval of all the Hai Si here, even though they didn't quite understand. ]

[You have taken the first step to change Agor and protect Laurentina, Skadi, and Goladia, who are deep-sea hunters.]

[At the same time, on the other side, Gloria's mother was out of danger after the nutrition cabin was repaired and the doctor rescued her.]

[But when she wakes up again, the person who walks into the office that symbolizes power will no longer be the madman who is willing to sacrifice everything for Agor.]

[She is a girl who wants to protect the people she cares about, wants to prevent tragedies from happening again, wants to end this absurdity after learning the truth, and is about to subvert a country.]

【but……】

[Although your plan is very ideal and your actions are very decisive. ]

[But sometimes, ideal plans are difficult to realize in reality. ]

[When protection goes against your plan, you will eventually have to make trade-offs and choices. ]

[Even if necessary, I will sacrifice my life for the one I love...]

[When the twin flowers are in full bloom, they are always beautiful and eye-catching. 】

[But when the nutrients are only enough for one flower to bloom, what is left is often only withered buds.]

[However, you who have inherited the name of 'reproduction' will eventually bloom into the most beautiful flower just like your childhood dream. ]

【This is the only thing that will never change. 】

Chapter 2: The plan that will lead Agor to the end (4/)

【In the deep sea, you began your plan. 】

[But because you left nothing behind when you left, and the Agor officials wanted to cover up their tracks.]

[This time, your disappearance and the fire in the flower shop were claimed by Agor's official organization to be an accident caused by Hai Si who remained in the water city.]

[Because the mother of Goletia, who was parasitized by your flesh and blood, was still in a coma when this news was announced.]

[You don't know this information, or even if you do know it, you don't plan to do anything about it. ]

[After all, you have seen the true colors of the official organization of Agor and those upper-level governors, and you have planned to launch a direct confrontation through a large group of blood relatives, so as to gradually purge this group of arrogant lunatics and completely end the meaningless war between Haisi and Agor from the root.]

[But this time you got the power, and you wanted to protect the people you care about by yourself and the group, end all the tragedies, and transform Agor into the person you wanted. You obviously forgot. ]

[Although you already know the true face of the Agor official, for the people you care about, except for Goletia who noticed some clues, Laurentina and Skadi are obviously not aware of this.]

[Therefore, after this news was published, Skadi and Laurentina ignored their teammates and their own tasks, and chose to return to the water city overnight, even at the risk of being punished by the hunter code. In the end, they knelt down in despair in the cordon and ruins, and shed tears of sadness and despair, and a deeper hatred for Hai Si was ignited in their hearts. ]

【And Goladia is not much better. 】

[Although her investigation into the power core of Agor gradually led her to discover some very bad things, due to her living environment and the influence of what she had seen and heard in school, she still had a certain degree of trust in the officials of Agor and those who were in power.]
