What Little Red Riding Hood could not forgive the most was that these guys in front of her did not even know how powerful the Goddess Army was in the past. How could this be possible? She had to give them a good scientific education and brag about it.

"Come on, come on."

"You all come sit over here."

"From now on, I'm going to tell you how powerful the Goddess Army is!"

Anis and Nian sat down obediently.

Like Nikki, they also yearn for and admire the story of the legendary goddess troops.

Seeing that the evening meeting was going to continue, Green sat down and took out some grilled food and a few cans of drinks from the suitcase next to him.

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head back and took a sip of the energy drink in her hand, then asked, "Do you know the fairytale model?"

Anis: "Huh? What's that?"

Green: “I feel a little bit impressed.”

Little Red Riding Hood went on to explain, “When it comes to fairytale models, we can almost be considered the original Nikki in a nutshell.”

Anis frowned and asked, "The very beginning is the very beginning, how can there be a word like 'almost'? Could there be something earlier than the very beginning?"

Little Red Riding Hood: "Of course, because there are prototypes. We are just the first batch of Nikkis. There was an even more powerful prototype before. As for the prototype, it's even a question whether that guy can call her Nikki. How should I put it, it feels like technology from another dimension."

"In short, the Nikki people made using the technology of the prototype is a fairy tale model."

"And our names are also based on fairy tales."

"Fairy tales? Let me think, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel... I remember these names are from Grimm's Fairy Tales, right?" Nian pondered for a moment and couldn't help but push up his glasses. "That's the same as Master's name. Could it be that Master is the one who wrote the fairy tales?"

"Hmm." Anis groaned and asked, "I have another question. Why is it named after a fairy tale?"

"Maybe it's because most fairy tales have a perfect ending?" Nian blinked and answered the question for Little Red Riding Hood.

"Hmm, that seems to be the reason." Little Red Riding Hood nodded. "Anyway, because the Fairy Tale Model uses various technologies, it's difficult to find qualified individuals. But they eventually found some, and in the end, these guys were transformed into Fairy Tale Models."

“So we can say it’s the original Nikki.”

"And these fairytale models gathered together to form the original Nikki Army."

"Goddess Troops."

Chapter 4200: Goddess Troops, Glory Forever ()

"Although we were officially a team, in the early days, the relationship between everyone was not harmonious."

“Some say go left, some say go right.”

"Some say I'm better than you, so you should listen to me. Others say we must all work together to fight Letcher."

"In short, the goddess troops were not harmonious at the beginning."

"Until a certain swordsman joined the Goddess Army."

Little Red Riding Hood reminisced about the past and talked about Honglian's past: "Honestly, it's hard to imagine that in such a difficult environment, we still have to accept a mass-produced sword-wielding Nikki. Doesn't it seem like nonsense at first glance?"

"And it's just as I expected."

"Ever since the swordsman joined the army, the whole team has been in a state of constant turmoil. Everyone still bickers over trivial matters. After all, adding a mass-produced swordsman to our army of guns is just adding fuel to the fire, right?"

"Until one day, we met a group of refugees."

"Those bewildered people fell to their knees and cried, thanking us, saying we were the hope of mankind and the goddess who would bring victory to mankind."

"And from that moment on, the atmosphere in the team suddenly improved. I think it was because of meeting that group of refugees that we finally understood what we were doing and the impact our actions would have on the world."

"To save the world."

“We must be the hope of mankind and the goddess of victory for all.”

"......"

Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a while, then raised her head and took another sip of her drink.

Memories of the past came to her mind and she couldn't help but think about the past again.

"Remember when Letcher attacked for the first time? Humanity lost miserably."

"At that time, every major nation in the world deployed their full military might, practically throwing out all their cards. Warplanes covered the sky, armies as vast as the sea, and even heavyweight weapons like nuclear bombs. But even with their full strength, humanity was still defeated by Letcher, and never even achieved a single official victory."

"After all, in that era, humans had limited manpower and firepower, but Letcher was like a swarm of insects, impossible to kill. It's not even impossible to kill them all, but impossible to kill them at all."

"Ordinary firearms and weapons are simply unable to cause effective damage to Letcher. This is the main reason why humans are defeated."

“That era was also known as the Age of Despair.”

"After realizing that Letcher was invincible, everyone was busy fleeing and had long since given up resistance."

"And just then, we showed up, not only defeating Letcher, but also winning battle after battle beautifully. In this situation, how do you think everyone's reaction would be?"

Anis held her chin with her fingers and thought for a while before she said, "I think those people will go crazy for you, right?"

Little Red Riding Hood chuckled and praised, "Bingo!"

"bingo!"

"After we defeated Letcher, people went crazy and pushed us to the altar. There was an endless stream of praise for us, such as the goddess of victory, the hope of mankind, and the savior."

“And on their way back from the fighting, people took to the streets to shower us with praise, delicious food, beautiful flowers, wonderful music, heartfelt letters, passionate handshakes and tearful greetings.”

"Everyone expressed their gratitude to the Goddess Army for fighting for humanity."

"At that time...I was really happy."

Little Red Riding Hood still remembers that time.

They are like the protagonists in a movie. Wherever they go, there will be cheers, honor, praise and tears.

Although that period of time may not be the most important days in her life, it must have been the time when she felt the happiest.

Fighting for a noble ideal, and receiving countless support and praise, as well as countless fame, money, status, voice, public opinion, etc. Even the most indifferent person in the world might not be able to resist such a life, right?

She was lost in memories.

Anis was a little confused: "The number of people in the Goddess Army shouldn't be very large, right? Can you really defeat them with just a few elite soldiers like you?"

Little Red Riding Hood shook her head. "Of course we can't defeat them. Although we are strong, we are only a few of us. We can't split our forces too thinly. We can't possibly take on all the Letchers in the mountains."

"But our victory over Letcher alone has rekindled the morale of the human coalition. The world, once rife with defeatism, has once again begun its formal struggle against Letcher."

"Although it's difficult for us to demonstrate strength and performance beyond symbolic significance in reality, this is enough. As long as we exist, as long as we continue to win, the civilization behind us, representing humanity, will continue to fight and never give up."

"In a sense, you are indeed the saviors of this world," Green praised. "If you hadn't taken up the banner, I'm afraid humanity would have been completely slaughtered by now."

"Well, if it's the savior, then that's not the case."

"We are just adding fuel to the fire of this world." Little Red Riding Hood grinned and touched the back of her head shyly. Although she was a carefree person, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when she heard others praising her.

"But that kind of life must be very tiring, right?" Nian asked curiously. "Honestly, I can't imagine everyone staring at me."

“It’s really tiring, hard, and exhausting.”

"We've been fighting since we became Nikki."

"Every day, we fought our way from one country to another, from one peninsula to another. We even fought our way from the edge of a coastline to a plateau. We couldn't rest for a single moment during the entire march."

"In order to fight, we almost gave up our daily lives. We didn't even have much time to rest. We were always fighting for humanity."

"Of course, there's nothing else we can do. But even so, we firmly believe this is the right path." Little Red Riding Hood suddenly became serious. "As long as we continue to eliminate Letcher, humanity has a chance of survival. I believe there's no more correct path in the world."

"You think so too, right?"

"Yes, that's true." Green nodded. "One day, we will retake the land and bask in the sunshine again."

"That's right, it's this kind of spirit and courage. Keep it up. I believe that one day in the future, you will be able to do it."

Little Red Riding Hood showed a smile from the heart. She reached out and patted Green's back twice to express her appreciation.

The bonfire flickered.

Everyone digested the story told by Little Red Riding Hood.

After learning that the original members of the Goddess Army were just a group of ordinary people who dedicated themselves to humanity, Anis and Nian's eyes showed less admiration and more respect.

In that desperate era, they were willing to sacrifice themselves for humanity, and they were indeed worthy of the meaning behind the four words "Goddess Army".

Legend, myth.

And a noble and selfless spirit.

If it were Anis herself, she felt that she probably couldn't do such a great thing. At least for her, she was definitely not willing to donate her body and brain and let them be transformed by some crazy scientists.

"Well, we've talked about so much of the past."

"Can you tell me about the Ark? What kind of place is it?" Little Red Riding Hood wiped her nose with her finger and asked with interest, "It's been a hundred years. I'm really curious about what it's like inside."

"Hmm... The Ark, how should I put it? It's very crowded and noisy. It's always crowded, and even more crowded during celebrations and festivals. It's practically shoulder to shoulder." Nien pushed his glasses and told a dry joke in all seriousness: "So lately I've been practicing shoulder-butting people."

"puff!"

Little Red Riding Hood has a really low sense of humor.

She burst out laughing, causing Anis to roll her eyes.

"Uh, what a cold joke. How can you even laugh at that?"

"Seriously, with the exception of the Outer Rim, the residents of the Ark generally live a comfortable life," Nien explained to Little Red Riding Hood. "Even though it's underground, there are many buildings and structures, as well as extensive trains and internet connections."

"Surfing the Internet is really fun, right? Ark's entertainment industry is quite developed, and there are so many online and mobile games. I guarantee you'll never get tired of playing."

"There's also food, music, and all sorts of other things going on. They're all developing very well. There's even a singer named Nicki now. All in all, the Ark should be a nice place."

"Oh? That sounds pretty good indeed." Little Red Riding Hood nodded, but her eyes turned to Anis, who was standing next to her with a look of disdain: "But your friend seems to have a different opinion."

"Me?" Anis pointed at herself.

"Yeah, you."

"Now, tell me how you feel."

"You'd better not listen. I'm not the kind of person who only says good things." Anis curled her lips. When she looked at society, she always picked out the bad and dark things to say. As for the good side, that was what society should do and there was no need to say more.

"It's okay, tell me about it."

"......"

Anis's eyes turned cold.

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke brazenly, "The Ark's infrastructure is indeed excellent, that's true, but any dangerous situation will be handed over to Nikki, so humans living there don't have to worry about their lives."

"And in this case, the human standard is much lower."

"Everyone didn't think about the future, spending their days in debauchery and extravagant spending. As a result, a large number of drunks and gamblers were born. These people would walk the streets drunk every day, disturbing others without restraint and committing petty crimes from time to time."

"Not only that, everyone living in the Ark is very selfish and never knows how to compromise. It seems that money can solve any problem. In fact, it is true."

“Also, it’s very impersonal.”

"Do you know what the worst thing to do on the Ark is?"

"That means acting like a wimp."

"If you show even the slightest sign of weakness in this society, you'll be bullied and humiliated. And when you see those weaklings and think you're superior to others, you become just like the bullies, constantly calculating how to gain that inexplicable sense of superiority from others."

"Besides these disgusting things, there are many, many more disgusting things. The all-powerful chaebols, the inaction of the government, the AI that favors humans. If I really want to talk about it, I don't think I can finish it without tens of thousands of words."

"In short, in my eyes, this is what the Ark looks like."

"It's dark and rotten, just like a stinking ditch that's decorated very brightly. There's no essential difference between the two. I don't think it's a place where people can feel happy." Anis curled her lips and expressed her feelings about the Ark.

Little Red Riding Hood stared into her eyes and said, "Although I have known you for a short time, I don't think you are the person you say you are."

Anis shook her head: "Because I don't want to live like that."

Little Red Riding Hood nodded. "Now that you mention it, there should be a lot of people like you in the Ark."

"Maybe, but I don't care."

"After all, I'm just a helpless person trapped in the Ark. How can I care about others?"

"......"

"Then do you think the Ark has any value in existence?" Little Red Riding Hood asked a question that Anis found difficult to answer: "As Nikki, we have always protected it, but if you see it as so despicable, is it still a place worth fighting for and protecting with all your might?"

"I do not know."
