Chapter 183
Border City was a place where various species resided. There was no other multi-species settlement on Planet Novus as chaotic as this one.
Even the Bellato Federation, which upheld the principle of diversity, was ultimately a human-centric nation. In the prestigious schools, bureaucratic offices, and upper-class residential areas I had seen, humans were the majority, while the proportion of alien species increased as one moved toward the slums.
’Border City’s racial diversity is excessive.’
Differences in species led to differences in thoughts and values. Even humans thought differently due to hormonal influences. The value gap between biologically distinct species was not something that could be easily bridged.
Embracing differences was difficult, an idealistic notion. It was no different from chasing a rainbow, a mirage that could never be grasped.
That was why the Bellato Federation remained a human-centric nation, and only those species whose values aligned with humanity’s could become part of mainstream society. Reality was not a dream; it remained steadfast by our side every time we woke up.
’The more species that inhabit a place and the greater the cultural diversity, the higher the societal costs.’
Border City had resolved this issue with a stroke of genius.
’They abandoned societal stability.’
They had simply given up on management altogether. They had tossed multiple species onto the razor’s edge of harsh reality, leaving them to clash, create problems, fight like warring factions, and even kill each other—all without intervention.
In most cases, an unstable society would inevitably self-destruct. However, Border City’s explosive vitality had consumed all its instability. The city was maintained by a delicate equilibrium birthed from chaos and disorder.
