Abyss Solo

"This world is constantly producing mutants. If the mutants aren't promptly eliminated, they might become enormous monsters, whose destructive capability could annihilate several, or even dozens of districts. I want to become an Awakener who can confront these monsters head-on.

"That's pretty much it."

It's actually not wrong to say that because Awakeners of that level are rare beings, all above Lv60.

Edwan Kabba stretched lazily, gazing at the scene sweeping by outside the window, seemingly lost in thought.

Yang Ming asked, "And you? What do you plan to do in the future?"

"Me? I'll see what you want to do, and then I'll figure out a way to follow you."

"No," Yang Ming sat up, gripping the armrest, looking at this guy earnestly, "Kabba, we need to have a proper talk, my sexual orientation is normal."

"I'm normal too!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Edwan Kabba sighed, saying:

"I'm really confused, Daru, honest.

"When I opened my eyes in the hospital bed, I saw you hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat, and I thought — wow, you're so cool.

"And ever since, I always thought you were a really cool guy, incredibly strong, and a great fighter. Whenever there's trouble, you can always step up and solve it. It's really reassuring.

"Being your partner is the happiest thing for me, because I don't have to worry about big, troublesome issues, just handle some small tasks."

"You this..."

Yang Ming leaned back, lying down in his seat, responding feebly, "Alright, alright, stop, whatever makes you happy. Even this driverless car system can't take it anymore."

"Isn't that normal?" Edwan Kabba squinted, smiling.

Ming, this guy, is really kind, isn't he?

Meanwhile, within the invisible spaceship in the sky.

Levi Sherman, watching this scene, had an unshakable smile on his lips.

"It's interesting; Yang Ming doesn't know his friend Edwan is Kabba, yet Edwan knows, he's just protecting and helping Yang Ming... If this doesn't count as love."

Beside him, Li made a snort: "Why not reflect on it, the great Levi Emperor, who doesn't actually have a single friend."

"We have the attribute of being friends too."

"Get lost."

"You're rewarding me again," Levi Sherman said with a smile, and then he shifted the topic, "I need to have a deep conversation with them, preferably gaining their trust. Do you have any plans, Li?"

"If it's like the setting just now, I can give you countless."

"Give it a rest! I've embarrassed myself big time!"

"Aren't you excited?" Li said calmly, "If it wasn't for such a contrast in cuteness, would those two talk so much with you?"

"Contrast in cuteness? Are you serious?"

Levi Sherman's face was full of disbelief.

He continued watching the figures of Yang Ming and Edwan, sighing slightly:

"I truly envy them. I've reflected a lot too, why can't I completely trust anyone?

"If this is the so-called mindset every emperor should have, then how exactly do Yang Ming and Edwan maintain mutual trust? Reasonably, their power development stages contain power competition."

"This issue..."

Li pondered too, then shared his insights:

"It's because of fundamentally different ideologies."

"Fundamental ideologies?"

"Yes," Li slowly nodded, "Don't you remember, Yang Ming comes from a primitive greenhouse civilization..."

"Does that even matter?"

"Of course it matters," Li said quickly, "Everyone is governed by their past. It's like how the most important elements of a Thought Body are memory and foundational logic circuits. Everyone's past shapes their future."

Levi Sherman laughed: "It's irrational, I extracted Yang Ming's personality spectrum; it contains much collectivism, a sense of collective honor. Some of his views can only be provided by a society under a socialist template environment."

"Even on relatively primitive planetary surface societies, once the productivity level reaches a certain point, it's possible to develop a social environment predominantly with collectivism and socialism in mind."

"Alright then," Levi Sherman sighed, "I have to admit, socialism is most advantageous in protecting individual rights. Every system is initially well-designed, but during operation, newer and older elements constantly slow down, wealth always aggregates in the hands of the richer, and society is never truly fair, because true fairness erases individuality, causing some to lose motivation, thus creating another problem."

"Everything is dynamic."

Li calmly said:

"Do you want to discuss with me how to create a fairer, more rational, self-adjusting democratic social system?"

"Of course not, that's pointless," Levi Sherman laughed, "The character of nations and civilizations comes from their past. Every nation and civilization is unique. How could a perfect system exist?"

"So?"

"So, I just think the Faya people are a group of bastards."

Levi Sherman shrugged slightly, continuing to watch Yang Ming and Edwan.

He said, "On first contact, I still had a pretty good impression of those two. What if I became a teacher at the advanced training base? This way, I can keep communicating with them."

Li calmly said, "Do you know, for just one casual setting of yours, how many patches I have to apply to this broken system?"
