Chapter 805: Chapter 558 News of other “Firebearer” Reservists._3 Chapter 805: Chapter 558 News of other “Firebearer” Reservists._3 However, it was just a “yes,” and Colin felt there was much to conjecture from it.

‘I hope the others will also make an effort to pierce through this layer of window paper sooner rather than later. Heaven forbid they adopt the mentality of “why rely on oneself when one can hope for others”…’

Colin entertained the thought of others working harder for a moment, then posed another question,

“By the way, what is likely to happen after the investigation into the ‘Book of Fate’ is complete?”

“An individual derailed by minor setbacks will preemptively strike. His stance and demands deviate from our goals. You are not unfamiliar with him; the last accidental transfer was his doing…”

“That Rat?” Colin immediately realized who “Lady Bunny” was referring to.

“Yes, eliminate him directly if the opportunity arises. Do not give him any chances. I will not assign any tasks that might allow him to live a second longer. So, if you encounter him, ignore him,” Lady Bunny said calmly.

That decisive, huh… Colin pondered and then curiously asked, “Can you explain what the wrong path signifies?”

“Unless there’s an exception, it refers to the pursuit of human supremacy as a superior race of sorts, and it’s taken to an irrational and extreme standpoint.”

“Huh?”

Colin was confused for a moment. Human supremacy, wasn’t that the company’s direction?

Aren’t we all on the same track?

Seeing his expression, “Lady Bunny” tilted her head in thought before explaining,

“One thing you must understand is that we don’t pursue an extreme and singular human supremacy. It’s about all things gravitating towards ‘humanity,’ to become a fundamental logical commonality, not about elevating a single race.”

“To put it in simpler terms, consider an empire. Empires will fall, but as long as life continues, ideas endure, spread, and assimilate, rather than forcing a monkey to wear clothes and then calling it human…”

Is that so, creating an environment? “Flame Bearers” even sacrificing themselves entirely for it? Colin thought introspectively.

It feels like cultivating fertile land from a desert, using themselves as fuel for the soil—thus giving those who follow an environment to farm.

Only, the price paid for this “field” might have been too high; it’s hard to say whether it’s worth it or not.

“As for the one who strayed, although he will be the first to cause trouble, it does not mean his abilities are particularly strong, since his schemes are almost certain to fail. He might believe he has outsmarted ancient beings, but in reality, he may be overthinking…”

“Lady Bunny” expressed skepticism about the adversary’s actions, “You’re to kill him immediately because he possesses numerous factors that could spiral events out of control, causing unnecessary casualties and reducing our chances for success…

“Afterward, there are other matters to attend to. One thing you need to be aware of is that my current status is greatly limited due to the influence of a certain item…

“My own cognition, memory, and authorization are not whole…

“Furthermore, any actions taken in relation to your ‘Emblem World’ are particularly challenging for me.

“So, until you obtain any results from investigating the ‘Book of Fate,’ I cannot do much. After your investigation, I will be even less able to pay attention here… I can only try to offer what little assistance and guidance possible, which might not be very decisive. Therefore, you’ll need to try harder on your own.”

“Got it,” Colin nodded and then curiously asked,

“You mentioned you’d be too occupied to care about this place? Why’s that?”

“We have many enemies…”

“Lady Bunny” finished with a slight shake of her head, indicating it would be best for him to not delve further.

But that single statement, Colin understood.

Just how many enemies does the company have? Look up at the night sky, pick any planet, and chances are there could be enemies wanting to stab you twice…

It can’t simply be quantified by number.

But did “Lady Bunny” mean she would be going to guard the borders?

After some thought, Colin inquired about “World Code-13” and whether it might be impacted; he had some concerns about the situation there…

“In the short term, the effect isn’t significant.”

“Lady Bunny” affirmed, “There, I’ve left a few documents that can be used to intervene when necessary, so don’t worry too much.”

On hearing this, Colin felt moved, but also strangely thought, ‘Why do I feel like she’s saying “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your wife”?’

At that moment, “Lady Bunny” looked at him. Her beautiful yet indistinct face took on a serious expression:

“Rather than elsewhere, you should be more concerned with yourself. Remember, even if the intended goals are not met, please strive to stay alive as much as possible.”

…

Wait, there’s another chapter.
