Chapter 414

Episode 414. The Era of Great Upheaval.

And during the approximately three days when our Humanity was wrecking the Earth Federation and declaring, “I myself will become the Earth Federation!!!”

This incident acted like the eye of a storm, bringing about a massive upheaval across the entire universe.

Of course, at that time, I had no way of knowing what was happening around me.

I only knew through the mysterious users’ gallery analysis posts that followed.

And through those posts, what I could roughly gather was…

Title: Summary of the Situation After Humanity Overthrew the Earth Federation.txt

Author: Mysterious Man

Content: [Before & After Images of Faction Territory Changes.jpg]

First of all, keep in mind that this is just what I heard from acquaintances within Humanity.

About a quarter of the user fleets have been “annihilated,” and most of the rest are in a groggy state.

However, they absorbed the surrendered Earth Federation fleets, so now they have a fleet to defend the borders.

But no user has managed to get their hands on Jörmungandr or Yggdrasil-class ships.

As per the event message, the Leviathan-class and its predecessors managed to break through the encirclement and escape.

Humanity is moving its headquarters from Baltazar to “Earth.”

It’s considered a Level 10 base, being the faction’s main headquarters.

Comments:

– [What kind of performance does Level 10 even have?]

– [I don’t know that much (Author)]

– [Wait, didn’t like 150,000 or 180,000 people charge in, and two-thirds got annihilated?]

– [From what the news guy was reporting, it was probably around 150,000.]

– [It’s confirmed that about 100,000 users lost over 70% of their fleet power (Author)]

– [This is insane, absolutely insane.]

Title: Humanity is Fighting Over Compensation Payments LOL

This is real.

Too many users lost their fleets this time, and they used up a ton of resources to stop the Earth Defense Fleet’s last-minute charge.

Comments:

– [How much did they even spend?]

– [At least hundreds of billions, I’d say.]

– [They hired both regular mercenary groups and base mercenary groups in bulk, so…]

– [When external forces broke through the defense line, they spent nearly 100 million just hiring Icarus.]

– [That’s nuts.]

First, regarding Humanity, which was the eye of the storm in this incident.

There’s talk about insider leaks and such, but if that’s true…

Just looking at the users’ fleet points, they threw in over 200 million in power, and 50 million of that was completely annihilated.

The rest melted away, so there’s internal conflict over compensation payments.

But in the midst of all this, someone tried to bring up my story to use me as a scapegoat, so I didn’t hesitate to block them.

And besides Humanity, stories about other clans started popping up like declassified U.S. documents after the secrecy period ended…

Title: Results of Loki Clan vs. Biomass Clan.txt

The Biomass Clan failed to hold out, lost all the territories they had invaded from the Pirate Alliance, and even most of their own territories were taken.

The remaining members joined the Justice Clan.

As a result, Loki not only secured the Pirate Alliance’s territories but also expanded into the former Earth Federation and Space Monster territories.

However, this led to growing dissatisfaction among the “sub-clans” within the Loki Clan.

Comments:

– [What, the Biomass Clan is done for?]

– [Yeah, the clan completely dissolved, and the remaining members joined Justice (Author)]

– [Justice just hit the jackpot by doing nothing.]

– [Wow…]

– [Why are the sub-clans whining?]

– [They used to have a mutual respect relationship, but apparently, Loki Clan pushed some sub-clans too hard this time (Author)]

-˪[Ah, well, it was originally a troll gathering clan, so I guess they’d be sensitive about that kind of thing.]

**Title: EU.eu can’t just be happy about Justice expanding their territory**

**Author: Indian Machete**

**Content:** [Image showing the expanded area where the Justice Clan and Loki Clan’s territories meet.]

Even though Justice and Loki haven’t been on good terms for a while, there haven’t been many direct clashes because their territories rarely touched. But now, after Biomass got defeated by Loki and split in half, the two clans suddenly ended up next to each other.

Plus, with Humanity’s support this time, things have gotten awkward with the Xenobia Empire factions too. So, from Justice Clan’s perspective, things are about to get really uncomfortable, y’know?

—

**Comments:**

– [Now that you mention it, yeah.]

– [When did the Northern and Southern Unions get support from Humanity?]

– ˪[When Justice tried to backstab Humanity during the coup?] (Author)

– ˪[That was pretty recent.]

– [Looking at it this way, Justice is really in a tight spot.]

– [But honestly, Justice is stuck between the Monsters and Xenobia, so they’re bound to be a thorn in someone’s side.]

“Looking at that, everyone seems to be living pretty hectic lives.”

“Tell me about it. It feels even more chaotic than the Central Zone, which is already a mess every day.”

The Central Zone is known for its uncontrolled chaos, with small incidents and accidents popping up by the dozens or hundreds. But other places? It’s more like ‘controlled chaos’ that erupts in big, noticeable ways.

And then there’s the usual stuff, like the ongoing civil war between the North and South factions of Xenobia, or how the Loki Clan tried to infiltrate spies into Justice and Humanity but got caught and nearly beaten up.

For me, it’s just the typical daily drama (?) that doesn’t really grab my attention.

‘I think I’ve seen enough for now.’

Deciding there wasn’t much else to care about, I started scrolling down the gallery, thinking about collecting my daily quest rewards or maybe leveling up the new Anchorage-Class ship I got from the recent event.

But just then…

**Title: Breaking News) Rank 7 and 8, Indypatible and Menaldu, officially join Humanity**

**Author: News Boy**

**Content:** [Screenshot of their announcement in the global chat.]

These two users, who played a key role in commanding external mercenaries during Humanity’s coup—or revolution—have now been invited to join Humanity as executives, and they’ve both accepted.

Of course, this means they’ll have to give up their positions and bases in the Central Zone and move to the former Earth Federation territory. But it seems they’ve decided it’s worth the sacrifice.

—

**Comments:**

– [Indypatible, sure, but Menaldu too?]

– [Congrats on the corporate job!]

– ˪[Exactly that.]

– [Both of them have been solo rankers since the beginning, so their foundations are all in the Central Zone, right?]

– [But Menaldu has been talking about joining a clan for a while, and Indypatible was basically treated as Humanity’s exclusive mercenary, so it’s not that surprising.]

—

‘…Huh?’

Suddenly hearing that my ‘cool solo friends’ were getting hired by a corporation (?), I felt a wave of confusion wash over me, hitting my brain like a truck.
