Chapter 180 - Mount Sefuri [Part 3]
"Are you saying because they are less human they are more powerful than us even at an lower level" Hiro said gulping.
"Yes Hiro, but by far the Alpha's you have encounter are Sp3: level 1 and Sp3: level 2, any level higher than that is something to be considered monstrous, they have abandoned humanity, they attack solely on impulse and animalistic thoughts... which is why Hiro your level is just for show" Anzai said darkly.
Hiro's body trembled at his words.

"Amazing.. General Anzai is able to deduce all that by himself" Kashi said amazed.
"General Anzai has always been able to see the pattern, he has always been able to detect weakness from a mere glance" Tori said sternly.
"And right now with his look on Hiro" he adds for certain.
"He's able to see many weakness on Hiro"
"Ho...even with the strongest level he's still at liability but as General Anzai mentioned earlier, the Kaiju's are still able to overcome them by strength because of their animalistic nature, is he trying to say that Hiro and the others should abandon their humanity to be able to fight the Kaijus at the same level of strength?" Kaede reasoned puzzled.
"And there you're wrong Kaede-sama" Yukio spoke up.
Their attention drifts to him.
"General Anzai is just trying to let them know what they are up against".
Hachiro adjusted his glasses.
"Soldiers against fierce beasts" he said for certain.
"Bio-genetics against their opposite" Yukio corrected.
Their body stiffen at his words.
"Yes the virus can be either be symbiotic or non symbiotic but it's still the same virus which means they share the same relationship" he explained.
"That means the opposite reaction of a bio-genetics" Touka said.
He nods in agreement.
"So the Kaiju's are the opposite of a bio-genetics, it's almost terrifying" Kenta said with shaky eyes.
"Mutating differently but all the same it's the same virus we're dealing with but different results" Hachiro said.
"The Kaiju's are just the opposite fraction of the bio-genetics, driven by animalistic nature, making them almost invisible. The bio-genetics although mutated still hold their humanity" Yukio said sternly.

Mount Sefuri
'In all this, the Kaiju's are just the mere opposite of us... like we're fighting the mirror of ourselves' Hiro thought shaky. 'And the thing about weakness' his teeth clenched, as his fist clenched in a tight hold against his sword. 'At some point our level doesn't matter, higher or lower the Kaiju's are still gonna measure up the same strength as us or more... which is why we have to fortify our level but not abandoning our humanity at the same time? But how, how can we achieve something like that'
"Still trying to figure it out?" Anzai said in an obvious tone knowing he was thinking it through.
Hiro body stiffen at his words as he raised his head to face Anzai, he was lost for a minute there.
"It's not about becoming stronger even if it's the main goal, it's about not losing our humanity in the process" his body trembling more.
"Does this mean... mean we..." he gulps.
"We might end up the same as the Kaiju's?".
The wind suddenly blew harshly around them.
"It's a hunch but we should think the possibility of that happening too" Anzai said for certain.

Shino
"Not losing our humanity in the process" Shino said with shaky eyes taking in General Anzai's words.
Anzai stood before him, his arms folded with a stern look.
***
Ten
Ten eyes trembling at the realization. 'This must be a joke right...?' He thought with a ghost smile. 'Even at the ticking death clock on our heads, we still have to avoid turning into Kaijus... a possibility that might just happen' his eyes widen in horror.
Anzai before him.

Daiki
Daiki held his head with both hands.
"This is all too much to take in" he said on the verge of tears, he didn't understand a damn thing but he knew he didn't wanna end up like those monsters.
***
Mirai
The wind blew harshly around, the bangs of her hair covering her eyes, her fist clenched hard in response.
***
Yumi
Yumi eyes were shaky in the process of hearing everything, the thought of her ending up as those monsters made her skin crawl.
***
"Tsk" Kaneki made a sound annoyed, hearing everything.
***
Kaname sighs, running his fingers in his golden locks but then he paused as his eyes shakes replaying the words in his head.
***
Ren
Ren had a frown against his features, his gaze not leaving General Anzai who stared right back at him.
He was shaking and Anzai could tell.
***
Haya eyes were shaky, as her looks sadden.
***
Himari had sad looks, lost for words.
***
A smile was evident on Mizuki lips, he sighed.
"The more complicated it gets" he said in amusement, his eyes sadden.
***
Mosu had an annoyed expression against his features.
"Then how do we do it then, not abandoning our humanity in the process of getting stronger" he said sternly.
Anzai before him folded his arms, he could see the anger in his eyes, an anger driven to destroy all Kaiju's because of San.
***
Mary had a gloomy expression, the wind blowing around in the silence between she and Anzai.
***
Usagi had a sad expression.
***
Emiko had a dark expression the bangs of her hair covering her eyes.
***
Homura had a frightened look against his features, his body trembling tremendously.
***
Raiden had a sad look, as his fist clenched hard.
***
Sand had an unreadable expression, the bangs of his hair covering his eyes made it harder to tell how he felt.
***
Aimi had a worried look on her face, as a bead of sweat ran down the side the of her head as she gulps hard.
***
Sakura had a scared look, the tightened fists of her hand close to her chest.
***
Ryu had a sad gloomy look, his gaze to the ground.
***
Saho had the same expression also.
***
Fuijo hands were shaking as his fist tightens against his military pants to keep it from shaking but it still didn't help.
***
Yuki had an unreadable expression.
***
Sumi pulled some strand of her hair behind her ear, her eyes close but it was obvious she had a fidgeting look.

Operation Base
"General Anzai is trying to state a point... he know each and every one of them holds either hate or fear of the Kaijus, the reality of the Kaijus being civilians but turned monsters that devours human flesh" Tori said sternly.
"He knows by the desire driven to become stronger and overcome their weakness they might be too driven," he adds.
"He's trying to prevent any loopholes and more protect their sanity" Touka said with a smile against her lips. 'General Anzai do you really care about the bio-genetics this much?'
