Chapter 2487 Only Light

A two-limbed creature was moving slowly forward, climbing up a staircase with a height of one meter each.

That's exactly half the height of its body.

There were many other creatures around, watching it climb with difficulty. These creatures had no limbs and were floating in the air.

If they can fly, why build such stairs?

The two-limbed creature soon got the answer.

After climbing more than a hundred steps, it came to a heavy gray stone door.

The torches standing on both sides of the stone gate were burning with raging flames, which formed a sharp contrast with the flames worn on the heads of the two-limbed creatures.

"To study there... it's so luxurious."

It almost immediately wanted to pick up the torch in front of it and run away, but it resisted the urge.

After all, in the near future, everything here will belong to its own population.

At the same time, the door in front of it slowly opened... The scene behind the door was filled with countless dense green things.

"Are you here to see the jungle I just created?"

A creature suddenly floated out from among these dense green objects and slowly landed in front of the two limbs.

"...No." Two Limbs responded, "I am here to declare war on you."

"What? No!" The floating creature suddenly became nervous. It floated back quickly, and floated out again after more than ten seconds.

"You can't do this. We have an agreement!" The floating creature said to the two limbs, "Why can't you abide by it?"

"No agreement, no peace, only... light." The two limbs responded.

"You will definitely understand peace after seeing this!" The floating creature floated to a higher altitude and turned around... At the same time, the floor in front of the two limbs suddenly opened, and a... sphere slowly rose from it.

"Look, this is the wonderful thing I discovered recently. As long as you touch it, you will also feel the wonder in it!"

"No matter what, war is inevitable." Two Limbs said, "So don't waste time. If you surrender, you can still..."

"Try it first! You'll understand it soon!" said the floating creature. "This is a very rare opportunity!"

"..." Although the two limbs were doubtful, it still touched it gently.

“This is…!”

At the moment of touch... it felt that everything around it disappeared, and it kept recalling the things in its memory.

……………………

When did it start... Maybe it started right after I landed.

They are always in a state of war.

There are more than ten species of creatures, including two-limbed and floating creatures, which are collectively called "light-chasing creatures."

That is, for organisms that are completely unable to de-coagulate on their own, the only way for them to survive is to use the de-coagulation field emitted by other organisms.

The only creature that can produce an anti-coagulation field is the Torch.

Torches are parasites that specifically parasitize organisms that cannot desolventize.

Although they will continue to absorb nutrients until death, these light-chasing creatures are completely unable to resist torches. All their lives, development, and...wars revolve around torches.

Falling into solidified darkness means death, so they can only chase after the light.

Because Torches are limited in number and their reproduction is very difficult, Torches have always been a cause of war for creatures.

Countless wars were started because of torches, and many creatures perished because of them...

This is a very long history, and perhaps this war will not end until the last species is left.

But there is one creature that doesn't think so.

They are... floating creatures.

Floating creatures are relatively peace-loving among all light-chasing creatures, and they rarely actively attack other populations.

They like to constantly strengthen their territory, making it difficult for surrounding races to invade them.

And recently they have done something wonderful, which is... trying to make peace with other races.

Light-chasing creatures are always at war, and almost no species tries to talk about peace with other species.

If two different species are together, one of them is definitely the other's... 'torch slave'.

Light-chasing creatures will enslave different species to place torches so that they don't need to let the torches parasitize them.

In addition, different species of light-chasing creatures have never had a cooperative relationship.

The fact that floating creatures went to other creatures to cooperate and discuss peace made many creatures feel... shocked.

During the conversation, the floating creatures said they had discovered a... world.

That world was full of light and filled with countless densely packed, complex creatures.

And there wasn't any... solidification there.

The dreamlike and wonderful world described by the floating creatures surprised other creatures, and the floating creatures also said... they could make this place like that world.

Although no race believed it, many species were willing to negotiate peace with the floating creatures.

It's very convenient because once you reach a peace agreement with them, you can freely cross their territory and attack other creatures.

Of course, there are a few species that care about what the floating creatures say, and they are trying to investigate them.

This includes a creature with two limbs.

The two limbs are the creatures that come into contact with the most floating creatures. They notice that the floating creatures have been constantly creating a lot of things... It is said that these all come from that wonderful world.

They created similar creatures in the shape of various things in that world and used them to decorate their own territory.

Finally, the floating creatures also created a... very large castle, which was also built according to a certain building in that world.

But there has been no news about whether they can make this place as beautiful as there.

All that could be seen with the two limbs were floating creatures constantly creating various strange shapes.

Finally, due to changes in the war situation, the two limbs must capture the territory of the floating creatures.

So they no longer abide by the peaceful leap and prepare to start a war...

It was supposed to be like that.

But the two-limbed...war messenger changed its mind after it touched the ball just now.

It learned from the ball... the beauty of that world.

It also created a strong aversion to war as it had always been.

"...I will do my best to prevent us from getting involved in a war, and our species will pursue that wonderful place with you!"

Finally, the two-limbed messenger left after saying a few words.
