"In reality, we are many people, and at the same time, we are one person."

What are they saying?

Riko Saida couldn't understand it at all.

"Perhaps you may call us gods."

"When humans are facing death and successfully survive, 93% of them seem to think of the existence of God, as if they were saved by a god who controls everything in this world."

"Are we similar to the beings that humans imagine as gods? We have been pondering this question recently."

"Today, humans cannot survive without information."

"We have mastered all the information in the world, and with that, we control all of humanity."

"How is this any different from controlling the fate of humanity?"

"In that case, we are gods."

This answer sent chills down Jun Himeya's spine. Now, he was confronting those who manipulated information and thus dominated the world. Was this one of the truths of the world he had been searching for but had not yet found?

"No! You are no gods at all."

Komon Kazuki interrupted the three men, speaking in a low voice:

"He's nothing but a dictator!"

“Dictator, this concept is also difficult for us to understand.”

"You probably made that statement based on the premise that God is good and dictators are evil, but for us, the concept of good and evil doesn't even exist."

"This is the first time we have attempted to have a direct dialogue with humans. Indeed, human thought is extremely difficult to understand."

"Yes. We are now racking our brains over the incomprehensible actions of humankind."

"Who...who are you people?"

Komon Kazuki asked again.

"This question again."

"Haven't I told you you wouldn't understand?"

Why do humans, knowing this already, still always want to know?

"Because I... want to know the 'truth'."

Komon Kazuki cut to the chase, saying that he was about to die and that what he heard here couldn't be relayed to anyone else. However, even so, he still wanted to seek the truth, a truth that Himeya Jun also wanted to know. Therefore, the dying Himeya Jun looked at the three and earnestly said:

"That's right. It's the truth. We want to know the truth. I want to know what you are down here in this tunnel. Even if I'm about to die, I want to know this!"

"We cannot understand it."

"However, if that's the case, then tell us, tell us our story."

"A story is simply a message conveyed by a storyteller, containing fictional elements. We cannot understand why humans love fiction, even though we understand why fiction exists."

"There are truths in this world that can only be told through fiction," a human once said.

"It is impossible to understand this, but if that is how humans think, then we will offer you this story as a farewell gift on your journey to the underworld."

"Listen to our story."

"We are not merely existing on Earth, this planet."

"We have existed in this universe since the distant past, before the birth of this planet."

"As explained earlier, we are many people, and at the same time, one person, so our memories are shared by all."

"Within our bodies, there are continuous memories from billions of years. We have witnessed countless intelligent life forms, whose lives were very short. In the context of the expanding universe, they were like bubbles that died shortly after birth."

"How foolish! They grew up too hastily and failed to understand that the end of evolution is death."

“We are different from them. They failed because they forgot that the essence of life is reproduction, and that is why they perished.”

"We only consider the matter of infinite proliferation, which is why we have lived to this day. Therefore, our growth has never slowed down, and many intelligent beings are constantly pursuing the meaning of their existence."

"Being overly bound by the reasons for existence and forgetting about proliferation leads to extinction. There can be no profound reason for the existence of life. For the universe, the existence of life is abnormal."

"So-called life is nothing more than an abnormal existence that wants to proliferate endlessly. In that case, we only need to follow this instinct. We finally came to this truth about life with great difficulty, which happened when this planet was born."

"When we came to visit this planet, humanity was already close to the pinnacle of civilization, and we knew it was doomed."

"If left unchecked, it will easily perish. Humanity's use of the scientific weapons it created to kill each other is a typical example of planetary destruction."

"Do you know this saying? It comes from humans: Without the wisdom of God, intelligent demons will be created. At that time, humans will become intelligent demons."

"Therefore, after some thought, we have concluded that if we were to become gods of humanity, the extinction of humankind would not be of any benefit to us."

"This is because our way of survival is to lurk in the shadow of the flourishing civilizations of intelligent life, and to use them to help ourselves multiply. If humanity is destroyed, then there is no point in coming all the way to this planet."

"Therefore, we focus on the characteristics of human civilization. Humans rely on something called information, even though it is not something that is actually perceived by the senses such as the eyes, nose, ears, and skin. Humans still trust information."

"Not even a room for doubt is left, no, it should be said that no room can be left. Humans live under the control of information, and have built a world that cannot live without information."

"I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for humanity. Ultimately, it's because we don't have the concept of happiness, so we have no interest in such things. We live in accordance with the characteristics of this world, that is, manipulating information to create a world that is beneficial to us."

"Discard information that is detrimental to us, and provide information that humans find appealing. For us, this information is essential to humanity, and for humanity, our information is essential."

"Therefore, the relationship between supply and demand was established, and because we controlled the intelligence, the war ended and the world gained peace."

"The ideal world is one where we, the people, can govern it and build a society that is habitable for both humanity and ourselves."

"As expected, humans sing praises of life without questioning the world. However, a very small minority of humans question the world and explore the inner workings of the social system."

“That’s right, it’s people like you.” “However, excluding this group of humans is a piece of cake for us who have access to all the world’s information.”

"In this way, the world's balance can be maintained, and so should our prosperity be continued."

"As mentioned earlier, we must reproduce endlessly, for this is the mission of being born as living beings. Therefore, we have discovered a new goal."

"Our prosperity is not enough to be limited to this universe. According to your world's understanding, it began about ten thousand years ago. We have realized that there is another universe that exists parallel to this one. If we could enter that universe, we could foresee that we could multiply even further. However, we have not found a way to enter that other world. Therefore, we have stagnated for ten thousand years."

"However, things took a turn for the better. On this Earth, we successfully found the entrance to that other world. It was a coincidence."

"At Nengzhu Lake, an experiment to develop new energy sources was being carried out. During the experiment, a door to another world suddenly opened."

"That door is not yet complete. Once it is ready, we intend to invade the other side of the world."

These three self-proclaimed gods were talking incessantly, one after another, without any space for them to continue their conversation, giving Komon Kazuki and the other two no chance to interrupt.

"So from the very beginning."

"You've chosen the wrong direction to attack."

"What you destroyed was just a tiny breeding ground."

“You have never found our true purpose.”

"What a failure, humanity."

"Although you know it now."

"But it does not matter."

"no problem."

"Because it will happen very soon."

"You will be just like your curious predecessors."

"We're all going to die."

Komon Kazuki and his two companions listened silently to their disgusting story.

While listening to them speak, Kazuki Komon and his companions felt goosebumps all over. They had only spared humanity's lives for their own benefit, then squeezed profits out of them, who were completely unaware of the vanity of their society. This world was nothing more than a human pasture created for their own gain.

We must save this world, no matter what.

This is what Kazuki Komon and his two companions thought.

But those who are meant to save the world are now facing death, just like them. And opposite them, as the story was being told, the three seemingly human figures showed no change in expression.

"You and your friends are all troublemakers."

"Why must humans produce beings like you?"

"Dissatisfaction with this ideal society."

Even if everything that humans desire is arranged perfectly, they are still not satisfied.

"I want to peek inside this society."

"They want to destroy this society."

"See? This is what happens to people like that."

Suddenly, images were injected into the minds of Kazuki Komon and the other two.

A man and a woman walked along a lifeless blue corridor, both radiating tension.

It was a man in a white trench coat and a woman in a black trench coat.

They each gripped their guns tightly, their hands glistening with sweat. They were prepared to fire at the slightest obstacle in their path; the three of them, including Kazuki Komon, were clearly mentally prepared for this.
