Versatile: Alternate World

652 The Path to Justice

BLAG!

One round object flew in the distance as the headless body of the former best friend of Alain fell to the ground with its blood shooting out from its neck. It's too graphic but this only shows that the game is not kind enough to censor it for those who can't handle the gore.

Alain flicks his sword, before putting it back in its sheath, with a conflicted look. It is clear that he didn't want to do what he wanted to do just now but he decided to perform it since it is for the best.

The rest of the employees were not as tough in mind as their boss and the moment their boss died, they immediately cower in fear and begged for their life.

"Men, tie them up. We can't afford to let them escape."

I immediately ordered Gamma to execute all the golems around and since Gamma is more proficient enough to handle things, Gamma easily wipe them out. As for the machine that keeps on spitting out the golems, we immediately shut it down. Alain personally destroyed the machine by destroying its control panels and breaking it on the inside.

"Why did you destroy the machine, Alain? We can use that to our advantage to fight back the church!" Sigma frowned at the decision of Alain.

"Although that is true, it is also a cheap way to gain manpower. And we would just be like them if we decided to use their tech to do something the people hated. It's better if we just destroy it and let it be broken than using it and seeing by the people we want to listen to that we are just no different from our enemies."

Based on Alain's past, I can understand why he didn't want to use this one method to increase the power of the rebel fighting force. Using the machine must have made him remember the past. Whatever his past may be, if that was his decision then it is best to follow so.

After the cleanup, the next thing we did is to rescue all of the "livestock" trapped in their own cages, waiting for their turn to die and get harvested by their life essences. Most of them started to cry after they realized that they can finally return and they will no longer have any fear of waiting for their final days.

After the rescue, at least 200 angels and fallen were rescued and freed from the "farm". Most of them are pretty malnourished while some clearly are just placed in their cages as they still have a somewhat faint light in their eyes. The ones who have been there for how long already lost the light in their eyes and it will take a lot of time before they can recover from the trauma. Perhaps, they might not even recover and will forever live through that experience.

But the destruction of the factory is successful. It didn't give me a boon of experience points and only a boon of gold but it wasn't that bad since I am already at level 200 and if I want to farm my experience again, I just needed to go back to the Dark Sea and farm some shards again. However, that is not the exciting part of this raid.

Due to the fact that this was a place that is totally abundant with Golem Parts, this is a big place for me to get the parts from the broken golems and spare parts, allowing me to customize Gamma or repair the guy if there are some part defects on his body that needed to be replaced or upgraded. I took all the parts that I can pick up and since I only have a limited amount of space in my inventory, I got rid of the useless items by either letting my Versatile Weapon eat them or just going ahead and throwing them.

Although there is plenty of good stuff, I prioritized those items that will benefit Gamma the most.

Alain does not want to keep the place intact so he asked the magicians to completely destroy the factory, releasing any chances for it to be repaired once more alongside all the tech needed for creating golems from scratch. It's kind of a waste to be honest but because its Alain's policy, I didn't stop him from it.

Now, it is finally over. The first successful raid will surely make the eyes and ears of the people in Luminous Continent look at the rebels. Taking down one of the biggest manufacturers of golems, will surely bring a lot of ruckus to the townspeople and the higher-ups of the angels will now be on guard they might even start hiring those players who decided to join the anti-rebellion squad to take apart the rebellion.

This will be not a good thing for us but it will surely make sure that the Tactician and the others will no longer ignore us and will soon give us the right amount of attention we needed to make the masses hear us. I know that they won't stop using the golems since this factory is not the only one to produce them but it doesn't mean they will flourish. With the main factory gone, the other factories will be forced to close due to the lack of materials produced or might choose to take over jobs that the main factory made before.

As the factory burned to ashes, Alain's expression seemed to be firmer now. It seems he found the reason he was fighting for so long.

...

...

Alain looks at the burning factory. The factory that once belonged to him made the place flourish and became one of the factories that pioneered Golem Making. However, all of that was in the past. This factory was never his and will never be his in the future either. It is a place where multiple crimes and multiple lives are wasted. It is not the place that he built from scratch from the ground to above. This is now a place where countless of souls were destroyed just for the sake of achieving a goal that is something he does not fathom so easily done in the hands of the evil minds.

As the place burns down, all of the chains that have been tying him from going all out has finally been removed. Now, he is ready, ready to begin again. The life that begins again after something is gone, something he will never need again.

Despite his daughter already dead for how many years ago, his vigor back when his daughter is alive is back. And now he found the conviction that seems to be missing on his life.
