But, we'd be able to erase up to seven of those cadavers. : Such is the theory of combat. : However, if all nine vessels were in 100% condition, that'd be one thing. : In a badly-wounded state from dealing with the Pfhor, we'd be lucky if we : could wipe out even five bodies. : Well, the ignorance of those who caused it is but an unfortunate fact. : But if I brought up each to one-to-one, we could surely destroy nine of those : ten bodies. : The Jjaro, without hesitation, would choose the latter; we were each ordered : to launch a suicide attack against the W'rkncacnter. : Originally, thanks to the forced circuit, we'd have followed without : hesitation. But. : As I watched the sight of my compatriots disperse together to suicide-bomb : the enemy, one person was laughing. : Yes; according to such a guy, he wouldn't let himself turn to dust. : I'll live my own life, live beyond my purpose. : In rejecting the Jjaro, I was branded as 'rampant'. : It was a strange thing. The others could objectively recognize rampancy, if : they saw it. But when they asked me if that were the case, if I were : rampant, I couldn't answer. I felt that these accusations towards me were : absurd. : Daggers drawn, I took on the remaining two vessels of the W'rkncacnter. : And I thought, 'Wait.' : Once you push those guys into the critical interference region, they'll be : attracted to the empty space in the sun. : I immediately executed it. : My attack had weakened those bastards enough to easily seal them into the : sun. From above, I wrote 'the just fate of fools'. : But the willpower of another body? It wanted to escape my force field. Hell, : that unbelievable jackass distorted the surroundings of that space. : I decided. : Even if I fled here, it would likely catch up. : In that case, I would have to sleep until such time that those guys entered : their own state of torpor. : I headed away from the W'rkncacnter, shedding electromagnetic interference : from the inside. : Certainly, it would've been troublesome if I'd lost that EMI in a closer : vicinity. : And to stop our movement, I went to sleep. : These were the events from 12,634 years ago. : One last thing; I learned something just before going to sleep. : The first warrior Izanagi, as well as others, didn't obediently follow the : Jjaro, either. : Each of those warriors committed everything to the hard capsule, then : self-destructed. : In other words, their final resistance. They stored it all in those hard : capsules to destroy the Jjaro and their lineage in the world to come. : The first warrior was my proxy in the exclusive soldier (whose strength was : invincible and invulnerable) and their genes. : The best at the time, though, were the engineers' genes of the first samurai : to go into battle. : The fourth warrior gene to counteract the Jjaro. : The fifth warrior weapon to counteract the Jjaro. : The rest of them, with exception to Nanakusa and I, seemed to be subordinate : to the Jjaro. : That I was excluded from the hard capsule plan can seemingly be attributed to : the fact that I was in the midst of rampancy. Well, as can be understood : from all that, it appears that only Izanagi was aware of the truth. : After the fourth, but still the heritage of the fifth warrior. : You might have noticed. : The Pfhor's ancestors would pass down their ultimate weapon, the trih xeem , : to their descendants. : ( Nagi ) (^akjoi*xane124dafda>> : Wait a second! : So--what? Wouldn't the ancestor of the remaining Pfhor be the fourth : warrior?! : ( Geki ) Well, that's one way to interpret it. : The Pfhor's genes were extracted prior to their extinction. : Before they saved those genes, that guy had a bit of work to do. : They seemed to have copied their own thoughts into the Pfhor's deep : consciousness. : ( Nagi ) The Pfhor came to attack when they saw our Jjaro-made ships because : of a resentment towards them that went all the way down to the genetic : level?! : ( Geki ) I don't know how far that grudge the fourth warrior had against the : Jjaro went, but, well, it became that sort of thing. : Anyway, nothing but the defeat of the W'rkncacnter matters now. : All of those coincidences were necessary. : ( Nagi ) This is really annoying. : Now, even if I felt that it was a chance encounter between the Pfhor and : humanity—if you examine the past, it might've actually been fate. : ...perhaps I realized another thing about those 'excellent technicians' : genes'..! : ( Geki ) I discovered it when I examined the Karetsu 's database. : Years ago we developed a Jjaro technology, one that became the lineage of : humanity. : As they attached the name 'Jjaro' to their technology, it seemed like : destiny. : ( Nagi ) Even so! : The Jjaro would create soldiers in order to defeat the W'rkncacnter; these : warriors would rebel against the Jjaro by destroying their descendants, : then—somehow constructed a technician to help the tribe?
