Chapter 80

Hearing KE's question, Tao lowered his head thinking, "Your Majesty, it was… because of the mercilessness present in Union." Emilia wanted to rebut whatever nonsense he was saying, but she remained silent when Seira shook her head at her.

Tao continued, his eyes filled with anger and sorrow, "Union was once very good, simply a cradle of humanity. There were doctors and professors working day and night solely for the benefit of humanity." His voice carried a hint of pride.

But his expression quickly filled with helplessness and despair, "But then, that bastard, his name was Dr. Crombel," Tao's voice was filled with intense hatred, which made KE's eyebrows furrow.

He knew Dr. Crombel was an evil man, but because this world was different, first, this world is real, it's impossible for anything to happen in detail as in manga, manhwa, anime, etc.

And secondly, he exists; it's impossible for him to act as in the book he read, or else he would be a slave to fate.

So, it seems many events have occurred and changes have already started, like Mozan in this universe being a woman, and demons are very strong, and the merging of two worlds into one.

"His actions were simply too hellish, from dissecting all different races to eradicating many magical monsters to turning many humans into experimental rats making them killing machines without will," Tao's eyes were filled with hatred towards Dr. Crombel.

Upon hearing him mention all of Dr. Crombel's actions.

Silence!!!

Everyone was simply silent, even Gaya and Alaya were shocked that humans in this universe did things impossible for many evil gods to do.

KE wanted to speak but remained silent, wanting Tao to continue, "Even when a great war started between us, Union, allied with the Demon Queen Mozan and her demons against Lukedonia, it was because of this man, Dr. Crombel."

KE was surprised when he heard about this war, he really didn't think Lukedonia, which loves peace, had entered a war, but he shook his head and smiled sarcastically when he remembered that Lukedonia's ruler was no longer the Lord of the Nobles but Erga Kenesis Di Raskreia.

Tao's sadness was clear, even Emilia was sad since she participated in the end of this war, "In that war, many geniuses from all sides fell, our numbers were reduced, affecting many weak and innocent people, leading to their deaths."

KE clenched his fist, he really didn't think such a tragic incident happened because of one man, "The good thing is that the Demon Queen Mozan sent a truce and peace message, making many elders who were against this war stand again to defeat Dr. Crombel and make peace with Lukedonia."

When they heard that Mozan initiated the peace, Kanae's eyes were filled with doubt and complexity, she didn't think this woman would establish peace, if she knew that all demons were doing good for humanity by killing all the villains and scum, she would have fainted.

Tao's body was trembling, and his voice became hoarse as he tried to push away the memories coming to him, "Then came the second hell when Dr. Crumbel took many of the injured and paralyzed, including my friends and comrades in the war, and turned them into a medicine similar to (X-01) in Lukedonia."

"Wait, wait, what is this (X-01)?" KE didn't know about such a thing at all, even in his past life.

"It's a medicine that makes us five times stronger," Seira explained the medicine to him, there's no need to hide such information, in fact, if she had the time, she would explain everything to KE in detail, "It's a medicine created by one of the most important researchers in Lukedonia."

"True, but this medicine that Dr. Crumbel created is completely different," painful memories filled Tao's mind, and anger, despair, and all the negative emotions overwhelmed his spirit, "No one thought this medicine would have no downsides, and it was called the Life Pill."

Everyone was shocked by such a medicine without downsides, even KE, although he could create a better, stronger medicine without negative effects for the user. However, this requires time for research, analysis, and formulation. There are many medicinal herbs that have evolved because of Etheora in Area Zero, and they have become mysterious.

Tao swallowed and continued, "Here began the hunting and mass extermination of many monsters and weaker magical races." He looked at his hands, remembering the continents that became blood-soaked lands due to the continuous killing.

"The Demon Queen Mozan at that time joined forces with Lukedonia to stop this massacre," Kanae wanted to speak, but KE stopped her, indicating he would explain everything about this matter when they look into Mozan's past.

"A great war didn't start again, but all the weak individuals involved in this massacre were killed by the Union," KE now understood that many events had happened in this world, but he did not regret not peeking into the past.

KE nodded in understanding and patted Tao on the shoulder, making him stand, "Thank you for all your hard work. You and others like you have contributed a lot to the human race as a whole. From today, you will follow me, including you, Takeo."

Takeo lowered his head, wanting to accept but had a problem, "Sir, I... have a Sis-"

"Your sister, Dr. Aris, is fine. She doesn't need your help," Tao stood in front of Takeo, who was shocked, and explained his sister's story, "The reason for my rebellion is because of the information your little sister gave me."

Takeo tried to understand how Tao knew about his sister. True, he talked with him about her and how Union, led by Dr. Crombel, threatened to work for them or they would kill his sister.

Tao explained everything about Dr. Aris when Takeo realized his younger sister was stronger than him, even shaking his head, "Then why did she act weak in front of me and make herself sick, and why couldn't she escape with me when I had the chance?"

Not understanding why his younger sister pretended, Kanae and Seira looked at him as if he were foolish, even KE understood why the girl, Aris, did that.

Initially, he wanted to tell him everything when they go to Union to take revenge on Dr. Crombel, but now Tao simply gave up, "Listen, Takeo, the reason your little sister did that is to make you stronger. You are a genius, and she also knows this world is not safe, especially after Dr. Crombel regained power again."

"And more importantly, even if you both escaped, do you think we, as powerful beings, could live a normal life again after everything that happened?" Tao's words were true. They are humans with long lifespans, survived great wars, used Union's resources for free, and now they want to escape.

Even if Union was very tolerant with its people, it's impossible for them to let everyone escape without being punished.

The punishments in Union, especially under Dr. Crombel, are terrifying. You have to be an experiment rat, your power might be erased, you might lose your memories, and become a cold killing machine like M-21 and Raven initially were.

Takeo realized what he said was foolish, finally understanding why his sister pretended; her only intention was for him to become stronger to protect himself. But remembering that his younger sister, Aris, is currently in Union alone, without anyone to lean on, working day and night in the laboratories.

With all this information, Takeo clenched his fist, feeling weak. Seeing him like this, KE sighed again, looked at Kanae and Seira, and patted their heads, reminding them with his sad voice, "Remember, weakness is a sin. This world does not forgive the weak, even if we are peaceful, even if we want peace. There are selfish people who will prevent us just for their interests."

Gaya and Alaya nodded when they saw KE teaching their new sisters. When they first met, they knew they were still living in a safe zone (for me, it's also called Lala land), which is very dangerous for their future.

Initially, they wanted to let things go until the problems ended, and then they would talk with KE, but they underestimated their husband.

The girls also felt the weight of his words, bringing them a sense that their work was not enough. KE nodded when he noticed the effect of his words was already working, throwing a sentence after that made the girls wish the battle would end, "After we finish here, I will train you later."

Training under KE is simply like cheating; it boosts your strength every moment. Look at Seira alone; she was weak, unable to control her aura (Etheora), but now, what has she become? Simply powerful, capable of even facing and possibly matching Reskreia, with hope of defeating her someday.

This is just from a few hours of training under KE, so imagine if they were trained indefinitely under his guidance.
