Description
Hello, humans! I use machine translation. If you see a typo, correct me.
So, I continue the story.
Stinky could put an end to DD's unhappy life right now. But the death of a patient with entropy causes a powerful detonation of the corpse, so that the scientist would not have had time to escape. Although there was a much less pragmatic reason.
She simply let DD go, driving her back to the wasteland of the surface so that she would die somewhere far away and not destroy the city again.
Stinky was aware that the hatred for this stupid girl was based on... nothing. DD, though she was once an obnoxious teenager, but she never did anything worth killing her for, especially not her fault that she was born with entropy. The Families were to blame for everything, but since they ceased to exist, there was now no one to take revenge.
Of course, DD didn't listen to Stinky. Having escaped from the sectarians, she was not going to leave the city. It is unlikely that anyone believed her if she said that the machines of the old humanity were chasing her and the city was doomed if they did not let her go further east.
Although in fact there was one person willing to believe it. DD was eventually able to return to Manor, which was partly her old home. Finally reunited with heiress, her old friend, for DD, a brief moment of peace came when she got the luxury of no longer sleeping with a rifle in her arms. In Manor, people maintained a semblance of normal life, albeit at a high cost.
She would have stayed at Manor longer, but since she was being chased, DD couldn't stay in Shardopolis any longer. As mentioned earlier, the number of hostile machines in the city began to increase, and Ulvastri suffered more and more losses.
DD did not notice how the conflict between Manor and Ulvastri reached a critical point because of her. While the people of the heiress slept in warm beds, Ulvastri fought without interruption for their lives.
In order to end Manor, Stinky, using her knowledge of prototechnology, developed a new kind of slow-spreading metaplasia. From now on, the members of the Ulvastri sect became as invisible to machines as Manor, but were doomed to slowly turn to stone. And that was not all. A well-executed sabotage inside the estate damaged an intangible barrier, causing waves of machines to descend on its inhabitants. The warring parties have switched roles.
The confrontation between Manor and Ulvastri was nearing its finale.
