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

[Although before seeing your body, Gloria will never admit that you are dead, nor will she believe the so-called Haisi attack. ]

[But after a fruitless frantic search for you, she did indeed become more disgusted with Hai Si, and she also accelerated her investigation into Agor in an attempt to find your whereabouts.]

[Unfortunately, due to the intentional concealment of the facts by the Archons, Goletia's search was fruitless.]

[So, Goletia didn't know how many cups she broke, how many terminals she smashed, and how many wandering sea creatures she tore apart with her bare hands.]

[And the conditions of Skadi and Laurentina have also become much worse. 】

[Laurentina, who used to be quite enthusiastic, became completely cold. When she was on a mission, she became like a pure killing machine, wielding her special cold weapon circular saw to brutally kill any sea creature she saw. The props she used to carve in her spare time were completely covered in dust since that day, and were replaced by weapon maintenance and extra training.]

[Skadi, who was already withdrawn, completely cut off communication with others and began to madly hone her sword skills. The expectation for her future life in her heart was swallowed up by despair and hatred for Haisi. When she went out on missions, the girl's killing posture became more and more frantic and violent, as if only Haisi's blood and the scream before death could ease the pain in her heart that was spreading because of losing you.]

【And you who indirectly caused all this know nothing about it. 】

[To be more precise, you didn't expect that your disappearance would have such a big impact on them.]

[You don't think you are that important in their hearts. After all, neither Gloria nor Laurentina really expressed their inner feelings to you. In addition, you have been apart for too long. You think they will only be sad for you for a while and then nothing will happen.]

[As for Skadi, even though you have developed a love for her beyond family affection, you don't think that Skadi has that kind of feeling for you either. Therefore, even though Skadi said those words to you and made you realize your importance in the little killer whale's heart, that importance is still not irreplaceable in your opinion.]

【That’s why you choose to leave silently. 】

【But you don’t know that it is because of your choice that you have laid hidden dangers for the future. 】

[You underestimate your importance to the hunters.]

[I also underestimated the feelings the hunters have for you...]

[Half a year later, you have penetrated deep into the group and launched a general attack on Agor.]

[Under your leadership and the careful cultivation over the past six months, the group has thrived under the authority of 'reproduction', and has achieved unprecedented development and strengthening in both quantity and quality. ]

[However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Agor officials too early, to prevent further hatred, and to protect them silently, you passed on the request not to kill the Agor people and deep-sea hunters in the mass network, and immediately received the recognition and support of the mass consciousness. ]

[So in the face of Hai Si's sudden all-out counterattack, which had lost its aggressiveness in the past six months and seemed to be becoming weaker and weaker.]

[The Agor upper echelons, who originally thought they were back on track, were stunned by your sudden punch.]

[Although there were no deaths of deep-sea hunters, the destroyed mines, resource areas, factories and occupied areas expanded rapidly like a dyed canvas.]

[The lightning attack, which was a combination of organization and purposefulness demonstrated by Hai Si for the first time, directly shattered most of Agor's defenses, and also shattered Agor's illusion that Hai Si was declining and becoming weak.]

[And you, surrounded by the sea heirs, were not happy about the great victory in the first battle. ]

[Because as you gradually go deeper into the large group network and frequently use the authority of "reproduction". ]

[You gradually find that your body and consciousness are also beginning to inevitably shift towards the direction of 'reproduction' due to the excessive use of that power.]

[You are not surprised. After all, everything in the world follows the principle of equal exchange.]

[And the other you, or the consciousness left behind by the previous 'reproduction' after death, has long told you from the beginning that excessive and frequent use of this power will inevitably distort your mind and body, gradually transforming and evolving towards the direction of the 'unsinkable iceberg'.]

[You are too impatient after all. You want to end the meaningless fight between the Agor people and the Haisi as soon as possible, you want to take revenge as soon as possible, and then spend the rest of your life with the people you care about.]

[But you don't regret it. After all, after getting this power, you know that sooner or later you will become the second "reproduction", so you want to complete your plan and protection before you are completely assimilated into the group. ]

[Frequent use of that power only accelerates the process of your transformation.]

[Although neither the large group of sea heirs nor the other you that was transformed from the consciousness left over from past reproduction changed your mind, they even wanted to help you delay or even solve the problem of transformation when they realized that you were being irreversibly transformed.]

[But the transformation of you towards the beginning of ‘reproduction’ is still like the lowest level of the program…]

[So you chose to give up, and decided to complete everything you had before you completely became the second unsinkable iceberg and create a world without frequent tragedies, where all Haisi and Agor people can live together in the same ocean. ]

So you have to go faster, faster, faster.

[Otherwise, when you become a newborn, you don’t know whether you will still be yourself at that time, and you don’t dare to bet whether you will continue to carry out this plan and silently protect Skadi and the others.]

[And your biggest enemy is not Agor, but the existence called time and self. ]

[So after half a year of preparation, knowing that you didn't have much time left, you called on the crowd and directed the Haisi to throw this punch. Although you were not well prepared, you still took the first step of your plan.]

[Although the first attack went smoothly and caught Agor off guard, the final effect was far from what you expected.]

[However, standing on the seabed under Nona's protection, you just sighed after frowning.

After all, when you look at the scene in the distance where the seemingly aggressive but actually timid Hai Si and the Deep Sea Hunter are fighting, you know exactly why this situation has occurred. 】

[——Your request to Kaiji not to kill the Deep Sea Hunters and the Agors resulted in the combat advantage of the combat-type Kaiji as the vanguard being completely unavailable.]

[Although the wounded deep-sea hunters will eventually choose to retreat after the siege and defense lines of the swarms of sea lords are broken.]

[But if we don't kill these people, it will eventually lead to a slowdown in the advancement speed and an increase in the death rate of Hai Si. ]

[After the dead sea heirs return to the main group, you can use the power of 'reproduction' to quickly rebirth them in this world and make them stronger, but the time consumption is still fatal. ]

[The Kaisei finally fell into a vicious cycle where they wanted to advance the front quickly, but needed to kill the deep-sea hunters who came to stop them, but they couldn't kill them, so they were delayed or even killed, and resurrected to waste time, and couldn't advance the front. ]

[And you also clearly understand that the upper echelons of Agor were stunned by your sudden attack this time. ]

[But those technological archons are no ordinary people. ]

[The success of your attack this time was entirely based on Agor's arrogance, the inherent impression left by Haisi over the years, and the concealment for half a year. ]

[Next time, you and the Hai Si will be greeted by more elite troops, more fighting, more brutal battles, and slower advancement.]

[Looking at the deep sea above the ruins stained with blood, you fell silent after realizing the problem. You knew that if you continued like this, not only would you not be able to win quickly, but you might even have a problem advancing to the outskirts of Agor - the water city - before you were completely transformed.]

[So, looking at the remains of the dead Haisi and feeling the smell of blood at the tip of your nose, you made a decision after careful consideration...]

……

[Disagreement 1: Kill as many people as you can. Haisi's life is also a life! There is no war without sacrifice! Kill, kill, kill, kill! ]

[Divergence 2: Change of thinking, Hai Si breaks up into smaller pieces, all turn into beautiful girls and infiltrate Agor, develop subordinates, and eventually disintegrate Agor from the inside out! ]

[Divergence 3: Change the idea, lead the army in person, use the group amplification aura of "reproduction" to lead the sea heirs to attack Huanglong, rush into the capital of Agor, and give all the highest governors to Tutu! Then use the body of Goletia's mother to support Goletia to build a better Agor! ]

[Please host to choose. 】

……

"Is it really a newborn? But these three disagreements seem to make sense. It seems that I need to think about it carefully."

After the disagreement arose, the Sakota girl in reality bit her thumb and murmured as she fell into thought.

In fact, each of the three disagreements has its own reason. Even the second disagreement, which seems to be the most wrong, makes Ekaros feel the beauty of the combination of the wisdom of the ancestors and the characteristics of the sea.

And to be honest, the talent she chose, 'Beautiful, Powerful, Immortal', finally took effect.

The identity of this newborn came a little late, but it was not unacceptable. After all, in many senses, before Skadi became Reddie and Ishamara woke up, the value of a newborn was extremely high.

This is definitely the highest limit among the three simulations.

Although the simulation has not yet specifically explained what specific abilities the self who becomes "reproduction" in the simulation will gain.

But since he has become the first born in the highest position in the sea.

Then the power cannot be weak in any way; the only difference lies in the type and purpose of that power.

As for the first disagreement, although it seems to be the most convenient, fastest and most direct solution, it is ultimately only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Although Ekaros does not like the country of Agor, he will not deliberately underestimate and belittle Agor's strength because of personal preference.

And based on her own character in the simulation, even though she experienced several losses and growths and knew all the cruel and ridiculous truths, she was still the gentle flower shop owner after all, so it can be regarded as a little sympathy from Ekalos.

The second disagreement may seem unorthodox, but it is undoubtedly a good solution. After all, the main purpose in the simulation is to get rid of those upper-level scientific consuls. Assassination is undoubtedly the best method, but the problem is that it may take a long time.

Divergence Three is the most risky, but it is also an excellent tactic that can decide the outcome of a game.

Although the capital of Agor is well-defended and well-guarded, it is considered the safest place in all of Agor and is known as the heart of Agor and the unsinkable water city.

But it is also because it is so safe, located in the heart of the entire Agor.

That's why the surprise attack in Divergence Three was so unexpected. Although the consequence of failure would be giving away lives and exposing one's identity, wasn't this actually the result that Ekaros wanted?

What's more, the person you secretly like didn't die but instead became an enemy boss or something.

It’s exciting just to think about it, and it’s estimated that there will be a lot of distortions.

Therefore, after some analysis and thinking, Ikaros finally chose Difference Three.

The simulation also gradually began to move towards the final chapter of Agor...

……

Chapter 3: The Sorrow of a Newborn (4/)

……

In the deep ocean, the sea that once nurtured and protected countless lives now witnessed countless cold deaths and bloody fights. The magnificent buildings and technological creations became meaningless after the creatures named Haisi specialized in offensiveness.

The prosperity and population of the past have now been replaced by desolate ruins and spreading sea water. The load-bearing columns that have been cut in half, the broken weapons, and the corpses stained with blood all indicate the continuation of the war between Haisi and Agor.

Countless people were displaced, and all the prosperity and beauty of this water city in the past disappeared at this moment.

Next to the wreckage of an unmanned store where flames were burning tenaciously, the broken and blood-stained glass reflected the figure of a beautiful girl in silver-blue dress-style armor.

In the reflection of the turbid flames, the girl with an inhumanly beautiful appearance bent down, picked up a small rag doll bear covered with patches from the spreading sea water, and looked at the traces of careful mending on the cup.

The girl finally sighed softly after a moment of silence, and looked into the distance. Through the vision of a "blood relative" in the large group, she saw the "convoy" evacuating on the transporter under the protection of deep-sea hunters and soldiers.

Perhaps the owner of this teddy bear was on the transporter, but Haisi's arrival disrupted the child's peaceful daily life, forcing the child to abandon the teddy bear that was so important to him, either because of the crowded crowd or because of fear...

Is it true that someone who has always longed for a warm and peaceful daily life destroys the warm and beautiful daily life of others with his own hands?

This is really ironic...

"But at least no one really died. I hope that future operations can continue to proceed smoothly like this."

She sighed again. Even though she knew that she might just be overthinking about the little teddy bear, she looked at the burning ruins of the city around her and the bloodstains hidden in the corners.

The girl understood that she had ultimately led Hai Si to destroy this border water city and brought unprovoked disaster to those innocent and ignorant people.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this first truly large-scale combat operation launched by the sea heirs against the Argor did not result in the death of any Argor civilians or deep-sea hunters.

And those sea heirs who died for various reasons during the battle also successfully returned to the "hive" cultivated by the [reproduction] authority through a large group of networks, and were quickly reborn in the corners of the deep sea covered by the abyss.

It's a blessing in disguise.

But looking at the remains of the buildings destroyed by the battle between the sea heirs and the deep-sea hunters, the flames greedily devoured the prosperity of the past, the sea water gradually submerged the traces of the past, and the fangs and claws looked like the devil ushered in by the war, longing for the destruction and despair brought by repeated killing and destruction.

The girl was a little shaken in her heart about her plan, but she regained her composure the next moment.

After all, everything requires price and sacrifice.

In order to end this farce war that should never have happened, what happened today was inevitable, and it might even become commonplace in the future.

All the girl can do is to stick to her original intention and push forward her plan unswervingly. Otherwise, the price demanded by both the large group and the Agor people in the future will be much greater than the losses caused by today's attack.

Besides, she had no way out.

Only by completing all of this before she is completely transformed can she face her own ending with peace of mind.

"Nona, this is for you. I think you will like it." After wiping the stuffed bear in his hand, he handed it to the small figure following him. Ikaros's originally heavy mood also relaxed slightly at this moment. "It's cute, right?"

"Yes, blood relatives, gifts, Nona, I like it very much." Nona took the teddy bear and showed a slightly stiff smile, but the joy transmitted from the large network was more real than any words or expressions.

Seeing this scene, Ekalos clearly felt Nona's joy and couldn't help but reveal a relaxed and gentle smile. He reached out and touched Nona's little head.

"Well, that's good. You have to protect Mr. Bear well in the future, okay?"

Treat Nona like a normal little girl. To be honest, Ikaros didn't know why he did this.

Although he knew the other party's true identity and could communicate with Nona almost every moment because of the connection with the large group, Ekalos still easily subconsciously regarded Nona as an ordinary little girl on weekdays.

In fact, this little girl can transform into a sea monster with terrifying strength and size at any time if she wants.

However, Ekalos felt that this was actually quite good. After all, at least in this way, she could maintain her self-esteem more on a daily basis, resist the assimilation from the origin of [reproduction], and relieve her psychological pressure.

So over time, Ikaros got used to treating Nona like a normal little girl.

As for Nona, she simply liked her blood relative, Ekalos. This teddy bear was actually nothing special to her, but since it was given to her by Ekalos, she liked it. It was as simple as that.

"Okay." Hearing Ekalos' words, Nona nodded seriously and hugged the little teddy bear in her arms tightly, looking like a kitten protecting its food, so cute.

Seeing this, Ekalos couldn't help but smile and gently rubbed Nona's soft little head. With such a cute little guy by her side, although she was in a heavy mood just now, she felt a lot more relaxed now because of Nona.

Cute things can indeed heal people's hearts in many cases.
