Conclusion and discussion

He was stunned. When he finally got back up, the gorilla was disoriented. His head and ears rang. Some of the new faction in the forest were around.

They were battling the metal tarsier thus far? With only these numbers? A high level tier 4?

He was baffled.

Still, the Human sent pink magic one after the other.

His magic is fast! And it damages the metal monkey! Good!

The metal tarsier ran towards Ezyze once again, who didn't stop sending spatial bolts.

The golden Gorilla, his whole body alight ramed into the tarsier, pinning him in the ground.

He punches him several times. The tarsier, already quite shaken from the last hours of battle, was beaten and beaten again.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge fireball crashed into the golden Gorilla, damaging both monkeys.

The 3 tier 4s tarsiers tracked the golden Gorilla to finish him. Now that they joined with the metal tarsier, neither the golden Gorilla, nor all these small creatures could do anything but die.

"Huff huff. Ezyze, I think that you should teleport away. One tier 4 almost killed us repeatedly. It is a miracle that we survived this far. We won't be able to survive from the aftershock of these tier 4s battling together. I suggested fighting them to distract them from the hoplines. Please Ezyze. Join the hoplites and flee.

No.

But.

No buts. My decision is final. I won't send you to your death. We are a family. We are together or we are nothing at all."

Ezyze started shooting spatial bolts towards the newcomers.

Zephyr and Arthur were ready to receive these monsters. The were also prepared to die.

Roaaaaar!

The golden Gorilla shot dozens of meters in the airs and crashed against the 3 newcomers. The desperate battle carrying on.

Standing up, the metal tarsier grunted, then roared.

He jumped very high in the air and concentrated a lot of energy in his fists.

In wild abandon, Zephyr and Arthur sent sword slashes towards the jumping monkey. Grey big slashes and smaller transparent whitish slashes accumulated on the monkey's body. Similarly, Ezyze casted spatial rays without adding a gravitational twist. He manages to cast two of them almost instantly.

Despite being covered in wounds and taking more damages just this instant, the energy in his fists was magnified.

They all thought that they will die this instant.

Suddenly, a gigantic dark shadow crashed against the metalic monkey and in the ground.

Standing up, the dark Gorilla glowed due to the amount of blue lightning that his fur was emitimg. The bolts that escaped his fur and hit the ground were causing small fires and meters large holes.

He did not utter a word nor a grunt. He started hammering, punching and biting the lying tarsier. Over and over again. The ground around them cracked. It is not until that the metal monkey's head turned into mashed brain, that he stopped. He stood up, looked back at Ezyze's group. His eyes rested on them for several seconds.

He looked back towards the golden Gorilla. He sped through, smashing a red tarsier. They were finally reunited.

The tables turned right this instant.

The burning tarsiers, her tail cut, was standing close to the large tailed tarsier and facing the golden Gorilla. They were all in a miserable state.

The dark Gorilla was standing quite close to the golden one, while the red tarsier that he punched was deep in the ground, after creating an elongated hole because her body cut through the ground.

She used all her four limbs to get off the ground.

The dark Gorilla accelerated and bolted towards her. He punched her in the face, then accelerated, then grabbed her head, then shoveled it in the ground and dragged it through it. Grabbing her leg, he trashed her around, like one can use a whip. When she went limp, he shoved his hands in her mouth and ripped her mouth off. He then crushed the remaining of her head with hand like feet.

He is an absolute savage.

The 3 other monkeys were in a standoff. The gorilla and tarsiers were gasping for air. The dark Gorilla accelerates towards them, his whole body charged with lightning.

Boom!

A tarsiers with closed eyes kicked the dark gorilla's fist towards the ground, creating a huge crater.

His whole body was emanating a white aura, covering his white body. He suddenly opened his eyes, showing irises in cross like shapes. His presence multiplied and the aura covering him became denser and bigger.

He opened his mouth and screeched. The Shockwave, imbued with Mana sent the dark gorilla flying. He jumped high in the air, then seemed to jump against something while in the air, zooming towards the dark gorilla. He screeched again while covering his fists in aura, which was forming a sphere like thing.

The dark gorilla seemed ignited again and yanked his arm to punch the white monkey with his whole being.

The collision made a high noise.

The group couldn't believe what they were seeing. They would be obliterated facing either of them.

The golden Gorilla resumed fighting the two remaining tier 4s. Even though they were all tired, the golden Gorilla had an advantage. His wounds were significant, yet did not majorly impact his fighting.

The long tailed tarsier had a limb missing while the red one had a part of her tail cut. They were evenly matched 3 on 1 against the Golden Gorilla, but 2 on 1 and gravely injured, they didn't stand a chance.

Ezyze kept casting one Mana bolt after the other. While the golden Gorilla was fighting the 2, the crossed eyes and the dark Gorilla were fighting like superheroes fought on the screen. They fought in the air, on land, punches and attacks able to level a field were casually brushed over or dodged. Their monstrous capabilities were further enhanced by either enormous magic, or destructive lightning.

Eventually, the golden Gorilla finished off the 2 tarsiers, in a less gruesome way.

The dark Gorilla was slightly more powerful than the crossed eyed tarsier, despite the latter showing enormous burst in power.

The golden Gorilla joined the fray and was a threat. Even if he couldn't gravely injure the tarsier, if he managed to score a punch, the dark gorilla would capitalize on the opportunity. Everyone present knew this.

Increasingly on the defensive, the Mana in his body exploded like a supernova. He sent white beams with his hands, screeched imbued with his powerful Mana. He reinforced his already strong body with Mana and punched sending Manaballs. He trashed and toiled around. Eventually, the dark Gorilla took him in a clinch. His monstrous arms pinning him against him.

He roared and grunted. The golden Gorilla grunted back. His hand covered in a mass of light blue lightning, he gouged the tarsiers' heart from his chest and took a bite of it in front of his still living self. The tarsiers then slumped.

They won the victory.

It was the beginning of the evening when the noises of the surrounding environment died down. The main fights were mostly over and it was time to mourn the dead and take care of the corpses.

The gorillas threw the corpses of the deceased in a bonfire and the Ents buried then in the ground. Numerous dead tarsiers were eventually used as meat and everyone feasted under the gigantic olive tree.

Ezyze ate some cooked meat. Zephyr could eat the tier 4 crossed eyes tarsiers while Rea the long tailed one. The gorillas were eating a lot and were very loud. The goblins ate as well. Ents were quietly washing over then and some even engaged into conversation together. It was a joyful moment.

Deeper in the night, they all went to sleep. The smell of blood was thick in the air. Zephyr sat next to Ezyze who was watching the dying fire. Rea was already sitting next to Ezyze and was massaging his scalp and playing with his hair. Around them, the Entgoblins were sitting in silence. Everyone seemed to enjoy this serene moment, yet Ezyze seemed concerned.

Zephyr asked him.

"Why are you this way lord?

What do you mean?

Why did we fight? Why do we survive? After fighting, what do we do?

We fight to get stronger. We survive to stay alive. After that, we try to make out the best of the situation and prepare for the next event.

But why? Why are you here? Why are we here?

I was called by the system. I think it is similar to what you went through. Basically, I am from another world, filled with many animals, smaller and taller. There is no Mana in our world and no system. Still, humans formed clans and fought against each others while some of them cooperated to improve our standard of living. While we created new things that could be used by many, we kept on fighting each others. Even though we were the same race, some humans were treated differently and left to die or used until exhausted. Eventually, we became more powerful than any other race. Only elements and disease, poison like phenomenon, could threaten our society. Along the year, we grew more and more complacent and took the resources of our planet in abundance. The system's administrator, a being made of light came and explained that we led our planet to its doom and that we are given an ultimate chance to settle in this new world called Astros. Everything is new here to me. Yet, I come here with memories of my own world. There, I have a mother and friends that are dear to me, like a family. I want them to live, not just to survive. Here, we can grow stronger and might makes right. The strong decide while the weak adapt. I want to be strong enough to decide and strong enough to protect those dear to me. I want like minded people to strive together. There is no need to kill every other race. Yet, because we need to be strong to survive, it is inevitable to fight and to kill. Maybe there are different ways, but thus far it is the only one that I can see. What I want is to create a place of our own where we can enjoy magic, grow stronger and immerse ourselves deep in what interest us. In my home planet, many lived meaningless lives, chained by the enormous weight of our society. Here, we can create our own society with positive values, duties to one another. Our own standards of accountability. The only way so far is as I said to rise in power.

I see. Where I was from lord, goblins are the weakest specie. We were picked on, and mercilessly slaughtered. We were quite numerous and yet fought on our own. Only 1 in many, many goblins reached even tier 3. With you, we don't die meaninglessky. With you, we have a purpose and we are brothers and sisters. I know that the system bounds us to you my lord, but I am speaking from myself, when I tell you that I am glad that you summoned me.

All the Entgoblins nodded their head. Rea hugged him. Ezyze was moved.

Thank you Zephyr. I hope that we will truly reach this dream."

The day after, early in the morning, the towering rank 4 gorillas seemed to be in pain. They left the camp and seemed to go out of the forest. The Ents, Gorillas and the Unshakables tidied the surroundings. They still had many tarsiers corpses.

They eventually rejoined the Ent sanctuary in the middle of the forest. There, the council and 4 enormous Ents were already waiting for them. The other Ents were similarly around. Cleopatra rushed towards Ezyze and buzzed around him. He patted her.

While the unshakables came at the foot of the 9 towering Ents, only a newly evolved tier 4 Thunder Gorilla came in. Her physique was similarly buffed and her fur was all shades of gray. No lightning coursed her fur, yet her hands seemed electrified by white lightning. It seemed that she didn't make any effort to maintain this phenomenon.

When they stopped two groups of monkeys were around. Around 2 meters, walking on hind legs and looking like proper langur with a buff physique and longer mane like hair, 2 tier 4s of the langur race were present. With blood red and sky blue noses, wearing leather armor made with different animals and swords, axes and maces, 4 tier 3s of the Mandrill race were similarly gathered.

While he did not recognize the 4 tier 5s Ents, the council was present. All the Ents present bowed. Vevznir connected their mind to the Ent root systemx allowing everyone present to be able to communicate with thought and not simply grunting and speaking.
