The stars, but they become the gray wind

"Launch a nuclear attack on Westat and leave no survivors among these untouchables who dare to harm my people!" Many people, including some nobles, could not agree with this decision.

Because of the centuries-long psychological trauma left by the thermonuclear war of 2039, later known as the "13-Day War," no one dared to employ similar tactics of large-scale nuclear bombardments against planets since the 13-Day War, which nearly brought about the collapse of human civilization on Earth and nearly brought it to the brink of extinction. The prohibition of orbital bombardments using such weapons of mass destruction had become an unwritten agreement and an uncrossable line between the Empire and the Alliance. Brunschbeck's adjutant, Brigadier General Ansenbach, attempted to persuade his lost lord to rescind his order.

"Shut up! Westat is my territory! I have the right to decide to destroy that planet along with all the untouchables on it. Didn't Emperor Rudolf consolidate the foundation of his empire only after killing hundreds of millions of thugs who dared to resist his authority?" Brunschbach, who had lost his mind, scolded his adjutant for his advice and put Ansenbach into the detention room.

During this period, Merkaz also asked to meet with the Duke, hoping that the Duke would withdraw the order to nuclear bomb Westadt and demand the release of Ansbach, but the Duke directly rejected all his requests and unilaterally refused to meet with him.

Before Duke Brunswick's revenge was about to begin, several soldiers and officers from the planet Westat, unwilling to see their homeland and loved ones destroyed in a nuclear explosion, fled the Vulture City the day before the planned large-scale nuclear attack and joined Reinhard's camp.

After listening to what the others said, Reinhard was about to send a fleet to Westat to stop the attack, but Oberstein suddenly stopped him.

"Why don't we satisfy the animal desires of the mad Duke Brown's Kidney and let him carry out his brutal attack as he wishes!" The ruthless Oberstein suggested to Reinhardt.

"Then we'll film the entire process and release it to the world, serving as evidence of the inhumanity of these nobles. This way, not only will the people of the entire Galactic Empire see the true nature of this aristocratic coalition, but the people in their territories and the soldiers of civilian origin will inevitably defect sooner or later. Instead of sending people to stop them, wouldn't it be better to just go with the flow?

Reinhardt, who had never known fear, stared intently at the expressionless Chief of Staff and asked word by word, "Do you want me to watch two million people being killed?"

"Sir, if this civil war continues for a long time, the death toll may be much higher than this, perhaps 20 million, or even 200 million. Comparing the two, which one is more cost-effective?"

"Don't use human lives as a simple numerical analogy!" Reinhardt shouted angrily.

But Oberstein didn't back down. Instead, he continued, "Marshal, I just want you to understand an important truth. If you want to become a hegemon, you can't be soft-hearted. As long as the great nobles remain in power, things like this will happen again and again. What we need to do is put an end to it as soon as possible, even if it means using any means necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to let the people of every part of the empire know of their crimes and spread the word that they are not qualified to rule the universe..."

"So you want me to pretend I didn't see it?"

"For the sake of the 25 billion people of the empire, and also for the swift and rapid establishment of your hegemony, Marshal."

"Okay, that's enough! You go out first, I need to think about it carefully." Reinhardt temporarily drove away the cold-blooded Oberstein. After Oberstein left the room, Reinhardt, who felt tremendous pressure, temporarily suppressed his emotions, sat back in his chair and thought carefully about how to deal with this matter?

If Gilfias were here, he would never make such a suggestion. Reinhardt asked himself, "Wait... Gilfias?" Thinking of his wise friend, Reinhardt recalled another incident. Before his friend left the desolate black hole galaxy, those aliens from a mysterious alien nation had given Gilfias some incomprehensible advice and message. This seemingly incomprehensible message, along with other communications with the aliens, had naturally been transcribed by Gilfias and given to Reinhardt separately.

Reinhardt opened the drawer next to his desk. Inside lay a paper document that seemed quite rare nowadays. After a few seconds of hesitation, Reinhardt picked up the paper document and flipped to the last few pages.

Sensibility tells you where to go, and rationality tells you how to get there. Sensibility is the cornerstone of civilization, and rationality is the pillar of civilization. Both are indispensable. A civilization without sensibility can hardly be called a complete civilization, but rather more like a machine.

Perhaps there's nothing wrong with pursuing more efficient rationality, but this isn't the sole purpose and mission of civilization. Sometimes you need to maintain a certain level of sensibility.

When you face this decision in the future, please think carefully. Sometimes, a decision based solely on rationality and efficiency is not necessarily the best option. Rationality is the ladder of civilizational progress, while sensibility is a baseline that civilization must maintain and cannot be avoided or abandoned.

[Extreme rationality alone will obliterate the characteristics of civilization, while excessive sensibility will lead to the stagnation of civilization. Only by combining the two can one reach the summit of the universe and wander through fantasy.]

[Reason accelerates the development of civilization and rids it of ignorance, while sensibility maintains civilization's self-awareness, making it clearer about its own nature and allowing it to realize that it is a manifestation of the diversity of cosmic matter and energy, rather than a pure machine.]

[Remember, Mr. Siegfried, only by maintaining your original intention can you be qualified to face the longer-term future. Sometimes, appropriate emotional thinking may be the solution to a problem. Once you forget your original intention, you are likely to go astray.]

Sensibility is a form of alternative rationality. To abandon it is to abandon a possible path of three-dimensional options, leaving individuals and civilization on a single path to their doom.

When you face a choice in the future, never forget your original intention. Going against your original intention may mean abandoning yourself.

Sensibility will guide the future of intelligent life. The pursuit of truth and beauty is the most important foundation for intelligent life to maintain self-awareness.

Reinhard closed the file. When Siegfried handed him this record, not only Gilphias, but even he himself was confused by this strange message that seemed meaningless.

But now, looking at the message in this record, Reinhardt seemed to realize something. He leaned back in his office chair and closed his eyes. After thinking carefully for a while, Reinhardt called Oberstein over again.

"Pass on my order, have the fleet immediately stop the nuclear attack on the planet Westat!"

"Sir, let me ask you again, are you sure you want to do this?"

"If you do this, the subsequent civil war in the empire, if it expands, will kill more than just two million people. Do you think you can afford this risk?"

"As a true overlord, you shouldn't be so soft-hearted."

"Enough! This is my order! I take full responsibility. I will ensure that the noble coalition is eliminated and disintegrated as soon as possible to end this civil war. We cannot abandon the lives of 200 million people for the sake of temporary interests." Reinhard stared at Oberstein's still expressionless face with firm and sharp eyes.

"Yes." After feeling Reinhardt's determination, Oberstein could only convey Reinhardt's order as it was.

Years later, Reinhardt would be extremely glad that he made the right decision for himself and his best friend, because this decision would be the key factor that saved his life in a dangerous encounter not long after.

Gonif once again boarded the bridge of the merchant ship "Belusha". Although he was very familiar with all the equipment on the bridge, he felt so unfamiliar here for the first time. Today was the day of sailing, but there was no cargo in the empty cargo hold. Except for a few boxes of fine wine that the crew brought with them and bought them at a high price, they brought almost nothing of value on this voyage.

Although Lubinsky promised to give them a high reward after the voyage was completed, Goniff always had a terrible premonition that they might not live to receive the reward.

These past few days, he finally figured it out. The annoying bald guy used him and the other crew members on the Beluska as bait, and the answer to what exactly this bait was used to make them bite the hook was obvious.

Under Rubinski's soft and hard threats and inducements, Gonif had no choice but to agree to this trip, which he thought was absolutely equivalent to a voyage to his death. Now he could only pray that the invincible battleship was not interested in his small merchant ship. He still had a great deal of luck about this. He was just an ordinary small merchant ship owner, and the invincible battleship that was so advanced that they could not understand might really not be interested in him.

As for the autonomous lord of Feisha, Rubinski, who was still enjoying the wine in his mansion with a goblet in hand, there would be no loss for him even if nothing took the bait of Beluska. If something took the bait, that would be the best. He really hoped that the invincible battleship would take the bait and involve the Empire and the Alliance in an unprecedented new war. Only if the Empire and the Alliance continued to maintain a state of combat readiness could the military industries of the Empire and the Alliance that Feisha had invested in continue to make money through the war, and the stocks of the Alliance's military industries in Feisha's hands could continue to appreciate in value.

As long as that invincible battleship can take the bait and drag another alien civilization into the war, Feisha will have the opportunity to become a middleman for obtaining alien technology. He can even reverse-engineer this alien technology to break free from the control of the Earth Religion, or even turn the tables and make the Earth Religion his own pawn. That would be even better.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that the invincible battleship can take advantage of the bait of Filiuska.

"But even if this trip yields nothing, I still won't suffer any loss. Then who will be the final winner, the Empire? The Alliance? The Earth Church? Or... me?" Rubinsky was confident about this. As long as the current chaos between the Empire and the Alliance could be maintained, or as long as another alien civilization could be pulled out of the war, then, as the autonomous lord of Fessar, he, the real behind-the-scenes operator who controlled finance and economy, would definitely be the final winner of this war.

Rubinsky once again elegantly poured himself a glass of fine wine, savoring the wine and the joy that the upcoming victory would bring him.

However, what Rubinsky still didn't realize was that his every word and action had long been under the surveillance of Yuuki and others. In the eyes of Yuuki and Carisi, he had gradually changed from a disgusting insect to a pest that needed to be stepped on to death.

A fleet carrying nuclear weapons for planetary orbital bombardment had entered Westat's Hill Sphere. As the fleet continued its advance toward Westat, a sudden neutron beam struck the starboard side of an orbital bomber in the fleet, unaware of the attack, and pierced directly through the ship's hull. The neutron beam triggered a chain reaction of explosions as it penetrated the ship, splitting it in two. Finally, a dense salvo of neutron beams blasted directly into the fleet of the Noble Alliance, which was about to launch a blanket orbital nuclear bombardment against Westat.

On the Brunhilde, Reinhardt did not feel happy when he saw on the big screen that the enemy fleet that was about to launch a massacre on the planet Westat was torn to pieces by the unexpected attack of his own fleet. Instead, there was a vague feeling of unease growing in his heart. After making this decision, it meant that he needed to do his utmost to eliminate and disintegrate the noble coalition army as soon as possible, otherwise, he would face the risk of fighting on two fronts and the civil war in the empire getting out of control.

Although he made the decision to follow his heart, he still couldn't confirm whether this decision was right or whether it would create an irreversible obstacle to realizing his ideals.

"The enemy fleet's loss rate has exceeded 90%!" An officer on the bridge reported to Reinhardt. At this time, besides Oberstein, there were also several junior officers and soldiers who risked their lives to escape from the Vulture City Fortress and provided this information to Reinhardt.

After receiving surrender signals from the few surviving warships of the enemy fleet, the officers and soldiers knelt on one knee in front of Reinhardt directly on Cambridge.

"Sir, we cannot express our gratitude enough. Thank you for saving our hometown and our loved ones. We truly cannot repay you in any way. We can only offer you our loyalty and our lives in return!"

The soldiers who took the lead in kneeling before Reinhardt said.

"Serve Lord Reinhardt! To repay this favor!"

"Be loyal to Lord Reinhardt!!!" The other soldiers and officers who knelt on one knee to Reinhardt also shouted loudly.

Hearing the soldiers and officers swearing their oaths in a loud voice, Reinhard's growing anxiety was temporarily relieved.

On the way back from the planet Westat to the front line where the Vulture City Fortress was located, the fleet led by Brunhilde did not encounter an ambush by the aristocratic coalition forces. They successfully captured the survivors of the fleet sent by Brunshback to carry out a nuclear bombing on the planet Westat. The testimony and evidence provided by these captives were enough to make the entire empire see the true face of these nobles' crimes.

Looking at the evidence collected from the enemy prisoners and Wu Yiqi's testimony, Reinhardt breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the fleet to rush back to the front line where the Vulture City Fortress was located.

Nothing happened during the fleet's return voyage until the fleet was one hop away from the galaxy where the Vulture City Fortress was located, when a shrill alarm suddenly sounded on Borren Hill.

"Report the situation!"

"An unknown ship has been discovered! We are determining the target's appearance and characteristics. This is... the Invincible Battleship!!!" The radar soldier in front of the console had a trembling voice after confirming the appearance of the battleship. He had directly participated in the Yamliza melee before. In that battle, he witnessed with his own eyes how the Invincible Battleship destroyed an Imperial and Allied fleet with almost no effort. The fear of that black shadow had been deeply engraved in the hearts of the soldiers on both sides who participated in the Yamliza melee.

"Disperse the fleet immediately!" Even when facing the invincible battleship that had become synonymous with fear in the hearts of some soldiers of the Empire and the Allied Forces, Reinhardt remained calm. After witnessing the powerful maneuverability and indestructible hull of the invincible battleship that could destroy an entire formation marching in dense firepower formation with just a collision, Reinhardt immediately ordered the fleet to disperse as quickly as possible to reduce the possible losses caused by the opponent's attack.

"Unknown energy reaction detected!"

Red energy began to flash in front of the black invincible battleship on the big screen. Reinhardt had seen this thing before. It was some kind of ray whose principle was still unknown, which instantly wiped out thousands of battleships of the Empire and the Allied Forces at the same time. It was also this red ray whose principle was inexplicable that finally destroyed and detonated the stars of the entire Yamliza galaxy. According to the results given by the ballistic computer, the target aimed by the invincible battleship was Brenhill where Reinhardt was!

"Oh no!" Reinhardt, who regretted that he might have made a wrong decision, watched the red beam of light emitted by the battleship getting closer and closer to him. At that moment, he thought of Gilfias, his sister, his subordinates, and his unfulfilled ideals. Experiences flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Just when he thought he was about to die, a mirror bubble suddenly flashed in front of the Brunhill. The huge shadow cast by the smooth silver-white hull directly blocked the Brunhill, which was only 1/3 of its own size. Time Infinity directly placed its own ship between Brunhill and the night fighter.

The red star-shattering rays fired at anti-ship power hit the Time-Like Infinity's gravitational field deflector shield, which was comparable to the gravity of a black hole's event horizon. Only a sufficiently strong gravity itself could interact with the laser-generated gravitational wave star-shattering rays. Under the action of the gravitational deflector shield, which was comparable to the black hole's event horizon, the star-shattering rays were directly and forcibly deflected away, while Brunhill, who was blocked by the Time-Like Infinity, was unharmed.

Four secondary guns, each as long as an Imperial destroyer, rose from under the sliding armor plate of the Time Infinity. The turret turned at an incredible speed that seemed incredible to the Imperial Army, pointing the muzzles of the four secondary guns at the night fighter far to its left.

Chapter 232: An Unexpected Helper (6000 words)

The Time-Like Infinity with its silver-white fully reflective smooth shell and the pitch-black Night Fighter were in a tense standoff in the dark space, at least that was the view of outsiders like the crew and officers on the Brunhill. The operators of both ships knew that the weapons used by the two men could not pose any threat or harm to each other. Although the Time-Like Infinity aimed the muzzles of its four secondary guns at the Night Fighter in the distance, what was loaded in the gun barrel was not magnetic monopole submunitions that were strong enough to destroy the space-time defect wing material, but ordinary antimatter ammunition.

The gravitational wave star-breaking rays of the Night Fighter, which was facing the Time-Like Infinity from a distance in space, were also at a low transmission power level and could not cause any effective damage to the Time-Like Infinity.

However, as outsiders, Reinhardt and others on the Brunel did not know about this. From their perspective, they only saw that when they were about to be destroyed by the invincible battleship along with their ship and people, the alien battleship that had appeared in the black hole galaxy suddenly appeared and blocked the attack that could have cost them their lives. Moreover, it seemed that in order to protect the Brunel, this alien battleship had already had a confrontation with the mysterious invincible battleship.

It was not until four giant secondary guns as big as destroyers rose from the hull of the Time-Like Infinity that Reinhardt, who was stunned by the sudden attack of the Invincible Battleship, came to his senses. He looked at the Invincible Battleship in front of him, which was as dark as the night, and the silver-white battleship whose surface reflected the light of the stars. The different colors and appearances of the two battleships formed a sharp contrast. The night fighter, with a pure black body and the silver-white fully reflective mirror of the Time-Like Infinity, seemed to have reached two completely different extremes in style and technology.

Afterwards, several red energy beams were shot out from the front end of the Night Fighter again. The red beams that originally destroyed an Imperial fleet were as easy as swatting a fly. However, after coming into contact with the gravitational deflection field shield of the Time-like Infinity, the red laser-like gravitational wave beams were directly deflected into a harmless direction by the equally powerful gravity.

The Time-Like Infinity wasn't simply passively taking the brunt of the attack. Its four secondary guns decisively began raining barrages of fire on the Night Fighter. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred shells, traveling at nearly the speed of light (0.64 c), whistled silently through the vacuum of space, hurtling towards the Night Fighter just a few light-seconds away. However, before the shells could impact the Night Fighter, a small spherical bubble formed around it, enveloping it and disappearing into the three-dimensional universe along with the entire ship.

The sudden disappearance of the Night Fighter caused all the shells fired by the Time Infinity to hit seven empty targets. The ammunition, traveling at the speed of light of 0.64c, passed the Night Fighter's original location and plunged into deep space.

"Military leader, are we saved?" The Imperial soldiers and crew on the Brunel Hill breathed a sigh of relief. They had all thought they were doomed, but the sudden appearance of the alien giant ship saved them and Reinhard, a leader so vital to the empire.

On the bridge of the Brenhill, Reinhardt watched in disbelief. This nearly three-kilometer-long alien giant had helped him repel the Night Fighters. Just then, its four turrets, like railguns, had unleashed hundreds of shells in a dense, concentrated burst at a speed approaching 0.64°C, an inconceivable speed to the Empire and the Alliance. Remember, to the Alliance and the Empire, railguns firing physical projectiles were merely melee weapons. The mainstream ship-borne railguns used by the Empire and the Alliance had a projectile velocity of only about 1% of the speed of light. At this speed, the mainstream ship-borne railguns used by the Alliance and the Empire could only be used as melee weapons within a range of one lightsecond.

As for the alien warship that saved himself and an entire ship's crew, Reinhardt was just about to order his soldiers to open the communication channel to express their gratitude for the alien warship's life-saving grace, when the four huge railguns on the silver-white warship's hull suddenly turned their muzzles and opened fire again from the rear of Reinhardt's Brunel. Behind the Brunel, the night fighter that had just completed a short jump disappeared again.

To be honest, Reinhardt was very nervous when he saw the giant ship suddenly turn its guns towards him and suddenly opened fire. However, he was relieved when he saw that the shells fired by the other side did not hit him, but flew directly behind him. He had never expected that the night fighter could make continuous jumps of such a short distance and appear silently behind his own battleship. The round of shells fired by the silver-white battleship was obviously aimed at the invincible battleship that suddenly appeared behind his sword. However, before the shells hit the invincible battleship, the opponent mysteriously disappeared again. This tactic that Reinhardt had never seen before caught him off guard.

After the black invincible battleship mysteriously disappeared again, the silver-white alien battleship still did not give up its vigilance, but turned the muzzle on the turret to a certain position again and poured a dense barrage of bullets there. There, the invincible battleship that had just appeared disappeared again. It seemed that the silver-white alien battleship could always accurately predict the location where the invincible battleship would appear, and cover it with dense firepower in advance, so that the invincible battleship dared not show its head.

More importantly, when dealing with the silver-white alien warship in front of them, they did not adopt the tactic that the Imperial Army was familiar with and had seen before, which was to ram it under the firepower of the entire Imperial Fleet. Instead, they took the initiative to evade it.

"Could it be... that it's afraid of the weapons on that ship?" As an excellent commander, Reinhardt had already begun to speculate about the Invincible Battleship's unusual behavior.

"Could it be that... those cannons can destroy its hull? Is that why it adopted an evasive tactic?"

"No, is it really that simple? Can a mere 0.64c orbital missile really destroy that layer of black material?" Reinhardt was incredulous. The actual example before him. I showed him how the Invincible Battleship seemed genuinely afraid of the Timelike Infinity's secondary guns, taking continuous evasive measures instead of engaging them head-on.

"Or... is there other weapons on that ship that can threaten that invincible battleship?"

…………

The battle between the Night Fighters and the Infinity-like was an eye-opener for the Imperials present. In their minds, space combat consisted of two fleets in tight formation, firing at each other at ranges of 5 to 10 light-seconds. However, the Invincible Battleship and the Time-like Infinity before them displayed a completely different combat method. The Night Fighters continuously performed extremely short-range space jumps within the small mantle. The Time-like Infinity, its opponent, fired its four omnidirectional turrets at full blast, like a game of whack-a-mole, instantly targeting the Night Fighters' positions with a barrage of fire. This was utterly unimaginable to the Imperials. The short-range jump engines and short-range jump tactics that could be used within the gravity wells of a galaxy, the extremely high reaction and rotation speed of the omnidirectional turrets, and the terrifying rate of fire and ammunition of those four turrets were all things the Imperials had never seen before.

Time-like Infinity used intensive firepower to accurately strike and aim at every location of the Night Fighter after it escaped from the jump and returned to the three-dimensional universe. The firing rate and firepower density of up to thousands of rounds per minute forced the Night Fighter to take passive evasive measures.

Until after a certain round of confrontation, the two sides seemed to have obtained the answers they wanted. The Night Fighter never appeared again after a certain jump, leaving only the Time-Like Infinity and the Imperial Fleet led by Brunhill at the scene.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Reinhardt finally had time to send a message to express his gratitude for the life-saving grace.

"Don't thank me. Just consider this a small favor to repay the two million civilians you saved."

To Reinhardt's surprise, the first thing the purple-haired girl on the communication screen said to him was this.

"You saved those 200 million people, so I'll save you this time as a small favor to repay you for those 200 million people."

"I'm glad to see you made a choice based on your heart, not your profit."

"By the way, that night fighter left on its own initiative..."

The soldiers and Reinhardt present were a little confused. In their opinion, it seemed that the seemingly very friendly alien lady, Mian Shen, had used force to force back the invincible battleship.

"Life and death is nothing more than a few moves between masters of different levels. If he were serious, I would definitely not be standing here communicating with you right now."

"But I naturally have something that can threaten him. That's why he was just using evasive tactics. Forcing the opponent into a corner is not a good thing."

"Just because I can damage it doesn't mean I can kill it. The material that makes up its shell isn't easily broken. But don't underestimate me. If we both go all out and attack with all our might, both sides will be destroyed, and nothing will be left in the entire galaxy. Whether it's an asteroid, a planet, or even the star at the center of the galaxy, all celestial bodies in the galaxy will be annihilated.

"The fight just now was just a few exchanges. Neither of us was serious. I didn't use any of the ship's high-powered lethal weapons, and neither did He. The AI's most famous trick is to transmit information through continuous short jumps to ensure absolute victory."

"If we really do this, not to mention your fragile fleet, the entire galaxy will be destroyed. Nothing will survive."

"Even so, I still want to thank you for saving my life."

"I said, don't thank me, thank yourself for making the right choice, and thank the 200 million civilians you saved. Oh, yes, and your red-haired friend."

"Gilfias?"

"It seems like he repeated my exact words to you. Sometimes, the so-called correct choice based on pure rationality isn't always the best option. You're smart enough to understand the meaning of this sentence."

"Well, if I were to describe the direction of history after the Second Year Scar Jiu III, it would probably be a direction that's somewhat different from your ideal, but also the best direction for you, right?"

"Forget it. I don't think you'll understand what I'm saying now. Maybe you'll understand later."

Reinhardt listened to these words, like a riddle, and felt exactly how Gilfias had felt about that incomprehensible message and accusation. But then, thinking that this seemingly young alien lady before him might be a being who had already traversed countless civilizations and histories, Reinhardt pondered another question.

"I just have a question, could I ask you for an answer?"

"What's the problem? Tell me."

"Why is that invincible battleship, the night fighter you mentioned, here? And it looks like it wants to destroy the Brunhill or me?"

"They do have a record of employing similar solutions for things that might interfere with their operations. There was once a species that slightly interfered with an important task they were carrying out. To eliminate the interference and errors caused by this insignificant species, they simply erased its existence from the universe. Although from our observations, you shouldn't be a being that could have any impact on them, I can confirm one thing..."

"That is... after what happened with Yamliza, it might have thought of you as the queen of a group of ants blocking its way. Just like an ant nest cannot exist without a queen, hmm... It seems it might be planning to eliminate the queen of this group of ants to solve the problem."

"And you are regarded as the queen ant that needs to be eliminated in its eyes."

Reinhardt's face changed when he heard this. For an individual like this who might come from an incomprehensibly advanced civilization, and who could come and go without a trace and jump thousands or even tens of thousands of light years at any time, if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have no means of self-protection or defense at all.

"But don't worry too much. The reason he considers you a target to be eliminated is simply because you're blocking his path. It's like when you're walking on the road and a bug blocks your way, so you step on it to death. As long as you don't interfere with it and don't block its path, theoretically, it won't continue to target it so single-mindedly."

"So, Reinhardt, you must listen carefully to the following advice."

"It appeared here specifically to deal with you, most likely because you interfered with its operations and work. If you really were to be singled out by them because you interfered with their operations, even I wouldn't be able to save you."

"But..." Yuki suddenly changed the subject.

"However, it just left without even moving. This means that the interference you caused to its actions was actually only at the level of a bug."
