Ch.463Are These Factions Actually Weak? (2)

However, watching these users’ behavior, the true veterans were shaking their heads and expressing negative reactions.

Of course, the current reaction of the users who were going wild to those veterans’ concerns was…

Just because the Earth Federation collapsed, you think other factions will easily lose to you guys?

The general consensus is that the Earth Federation collapsed mainly because Humanity severely weakened their forces by messing with them.

Do you think that’s possible against other factions that haven’t experienced such interference?

If we’re not careful, the factions might riot and many innocent users who were minding their own business could get screwed over.

Comments:

-[No, you’re wrong]

-[These crazy faction-sympathizer bastards are crawling out again]

-[Aren’t you a user too? Are you a faction employee?]

-[Reactions are so intense]

-[If you’re not going to help, just shut up]

—————————————–

They were showing extremely aggressive reactions toward users expressing such concerns.

Beyond just being defensive like hedgehogs, they were even calling others strange terms like “faction-sympathizers.”

Block the moderator too

Are we just going to sit back and watch these faction-sympathizer bastards try to gain power?

Comments:

-[What the hell, you’re bringing up something from 2 years ago?]

-˪[Whether it’s from 2 years ago or not, looking at what you’re doing now, there’s not much difference, you idiot](Author)

-˪[This kid talks like shit]

-˪[Your mom]

-[Look at the level of these faction-sympathizers, tsk tsk]

-[Isn’t it because they’ve already built good relationships with factions and are living well, and now they’re suddenly making a fuss?]

-˪[Yeah, this is right]

-[Hahaha this is a proper report post, agreed]

—————————————–

They were being extremely hostile toward users who warned that opposing factions was “dangerous,” treating them like idiots.

And naturally, as a result of such behavior…

The veterans who were suddenly called idiots expressed extreme anger, leading to fighting and bickering in the gallery.

Some even tried to fight by bringing their fleets and superhumans rather than arguing in the gallery.

The problem was that there were more users who had been oppressed to the point of being full of hot air than veterans emphasizing the dangers of factions.

Title: A battle broke out between veterans and faction-raiding users

The problem is that because the opposing side brought about 25 times more people, most of the veterans’ fleets were wiped out, and they barely managed to save their superhumans and gacha ships.

Some even lost their gacha ships

Anyway, after this battle, the veterans complained about being at a disadvantage

But since no one was willing to listen to people who had already lost their main fleets, they were ignored and even had their resources plundered

Comments:

-[Hahahahahaha]

-[Justice prevails!]

-˪[Are you praising the Justice Clan right now?]

-˪[What?]

-˪[Suddenly turned into a Justice praise post]

—————————————–

When the users who were arguing back were torn apart by overwhelming numbers, crushed by the violence of quantity.

Some users who had warned against underestimating factions couldn’t freely express their opinions in the face of such ruthless and mindless behavior.

They thought, ‘These guys are like dog-fighters,’ and collectively kept their heads down.

But unlike those individual users, the situation was different for large clans that had been directly affected.

Especially in the case of “Humanity”…

Title: Official statement from Humanity Clan.txt

Author: Antares

Content: [Image showing the decision to absolutely not get involved in this matter.jpg]

No need for unnecessary talk

We and our subordinate clans have no intention of getting involved with people who are messing with factions, so do whatever you want

But seriously, you guys are heading toward a catastrophe

-By the Humanity Clan executives

Comments:

-[What is this]

-[Is this for real?]

-[This isn’t an impersonation]

-[It’s the real Humanity Clan leader]

—————————————–

Using Antares’s name, they issued a statement on behalf of the Humanity Clan, and while the language was a bit harsh, they were openly saying “you guys are going to get screwed.”

But despite Antares personally stepping forward like this…

The collective intelligence that had already fixed in their minds that “factions are all weak and can be trampled on at will” ignored not only Humanity’s statement but also…

Title: I believe the Humanity side is right this time

I usually don’t want to align my opinion with Humanity

But if we’re not careful, the user territories we’ve built could be thoroughly trampled by the factions

By the way, this isn’t just my opinion but the entire Justice Clan’s stance

Comments:

-[Oh]

-[Justice agrees with Humanity?]

-[This is surprising]

-[Does this mean it’s that dangerous?]

—————————————–

When even the Justice Clan, widely known as Humanity’s rival, expressed such an opinion through their leader and 4th-ranked Arcadia…

Users began to wonder, “Is it really that dangerous?” and showed signs of confusion.

But users who had already carried out various “raids” and determined that factions could no longer resist users showed “very” hostile reactions to the statements from these two clans.

I get that they’ve already eaten up factions or are super friendly with them

But what about us?

Are we supposed to be their lackeys forever?

Comments:

-[For real]

-[It does feel shitty]

-[We need to crush all these faction defenders, agree?]

-˪[Yes, agreed!](Author)

-[Boo, faction-sympathizers go away, boo]

-[But if they’re going this far, isn’t it actually dangerous?]

-˪[Faction-sympathizers get lost]

-˪[Coward]

—————————————–

They were literally calling everyone who showed negative reactions to their thoughts “faction-sympathizers” and tearing them down.

Title: From now on, anyone defending factions is a ladder-pulling faction-sympathizer

Yeah

They’re mistaking themselves for being on the faction team instead of the user team

Let’s see how long your faction backing works for you

Comments:

-[One hit for you, one hit for me!]

-[Raise your spears!]

-[What is this, a peasant revolt? lol]

-˪[Stand up, you too!]

-˪[Is this that small but certain happiness thing?]

-˪[Soviet expansionist behavior…]

—————————————–

They perceived all these negative reactions as a form of “ladder-pulling” to prevent them from rising to “their territory.”

They were openly sharpening their knives, saying that after crushing the factions, they would come for these clans next.

And naturally, these “anti-faction” users began to extend their claws toward the Loki Clan and Magellan Clan who hadn’t yet expressed their opinions…

And finally toward Icarus, the de facto ruler of the Central Zone…
