Of course, as one of the undisputed world powers before the Reiki Revival, Russia could not possibly have produced only two Second Sequences.
But just like Lighthouse, not every First Sequence was willing to remain subordinate to others after gaining power.
Having acquired the strength to control their own lives, they wanted to establish forces of their own.
Furthermore, perhaps due to the spirit energy's influence awakening the warlike nature in their genes, Russia no longer had the capacity to consider outside interests.
The trait of being warlike... Knight King suddenly thought of this.
Before the Reiki Revival, Russians had been called the fighting nation, as though they feared nothing. But compared to how they were now, they had been far inferior.
According to the information they had obtained and learned through sharing, it seemed that some special force had enhanced every aspect of them in battle, allowing them to truly fear nothing while fighting.
Fearlessness, courage, excitement, enjoyment.
It could be said that Russians in battle were berserkers who knew neither fear nor terror. The fiercer the slaughter, the more excited they became.
Unfortunately, this power did not affect humanity alone. It also affected Mutant Creatures.
Otherwise, with such traits, every Russian would have been an exceptional warrior.
Instead, because both sides possessed such traits, battles between Russians and Mutant Creatures easily became intense. Sometimes they fought themselves into a frenzy, and even civilians who had originally been hiding came running out to join the battle.
Fortunately, this trait could be controlled. Otherwise, an uncontrollable power that could so easily drive people mad with battle would sooner or later bring them the danger of death.
That God of Thunder from Lighthouse's Guardian Base, though—he did not seem to be affiliated with the Lighthouse government, did he?
