Chapter 489: Echoes Before the Storm (2)
Reading those vile words from the system again and again, I felt a dry, involuntary laugh escape my throat.
’That damned system...’
My assumption was right.
More or less, I was beginning to understand why those cursed demons had come.
"The real game has begun."
We humans... and even the Ultras... we’re just pieces on a giant chessboard.
And now, the real players .. the ones moving the pieces from behind the curtain .. were finally stepping onto the board themselves.
"Hunt them, or be hunted."
That’s likely the reason for their arrival now—orders straight from Wesker himself.
"They’re here to take down the big fish. In other words, those standing behind the humans on this board."
Maybe they’re targeting the Engineer... or the other mysterious humans who were with him.
In short, while we fight our war against the Ultras on the frontlines, there’s another war about to erupt .. one that will take place in the shadows, between beings powerful enough to tear apart the sky and crush mountains.
