No wonder they wanted to develop a wetware industry here. It was far too suitable—killing multiple birds with one stone!
Theus had already started considering the feasibility of wetware!
"This truly is a perfect solution. If only this radiation didn't affect humanity's enemies." Angelita sighed.
"Radiation... can affect humanity's enemies too?"
"That's right. Humanity's enemies... by your terms, they're [Gods], aren't they? Radiation accelerates the awakening of [Gods]!"

Theus froze. He had never imagined something like this could happen.
How could [Gods] possibly be connected to radiation?
Fortunately, Castel had started fighting the Candlelight Society before it had developed much electrical technology...
Wait, could this have been part of Jules's plan too?
"Although using electricity causes humanity's enemies to awaken, we can no longer stop." Angelita's tone was bitter. "Too many people have become wetware, and without electricity to power their life-support systems, they would immediately die. If we stop using electricity, it would be no different from suicide!"
"So..."
"Yes, so we sent people to seek aid from the North Continent. Our technology tree is locked together with electricity. The more weapons we produce, the faster humanity's enemies awaken. We simply cannot fight them on our own!"
"Please help us! This is our common enemy!"
The people from Castel exchanged glances, all somewhat moved.
They had assumed that this side had merely encountered an enemy they could not defeat. They had not expected such complicated causes to lie behind it.
Indeed, it would be difficult for the South Continent to deal with humanity's enemies through its own strength alone. The harder they prepared for war, the stronger their enemies became.
"Fortunately, the North Continent has never developed electrical technology. That was a wise choice."
Theus felt a little awkward at that. It was not that he had chosen
