Supremacy Games

"His warning helped us get a target for our investigations. After watching recordings of many other explorers who gave their permission, we realized that they all got wiped out by traps." The association leader mentioned with a heavy tone, "Majority of them were either activated by slimes or the others after the slimes failed to warn them."

Upon hearing so, the leaders were left mostly confused than angered. They could see that it was an organized movement by the slimes.

But, how exactly did they achieve so? They all thought.

They knew that it was impossible for them to have any thoughts of betrayal in their minds since the Queen would either deliver punishment instantly or relay their words to their owner.

It was only natural to assume that it was close to impossible to betray someone without thinking about it just once.

When the association leader saw their confusion, he enlightened them with the answer, "Knowing that it was impossible to break Queen's AI contracts made us seek answers from slimes' experts."

"Their theory was that the slimes that betrayed the exploration crews were just copies." The association leader disclosed.

"Copies?!"

"Make sense."

"Slimes are able to make copies with wisps of their consciousness, making them able to use them as suicide bombers."

"So, you are telling me that slimes allow their copies to get caught and sold in auctions to hunt down exploration crews?"

Chatter started yet again in the assembly hall.

Everyone knew that slimes were able to copy themselves. Yet, they didn't expect that this trait would be used in such a manner!

The slimes actually willingly put their copies in the open, so they could wipe out anyone who purchased them!

They literally turned themselves into suicide bombers to make sure that anyone who want their services better be ready for a world of pain!

"We The Association of Explorers beseech the leaders to seek an explanation from the Slime Nation." The association leader voiced his plea, "This is an organized attack against the human race by the Slime Nation."

It was understandable to see it from this perspective. After all, thousands of exploration crews had met their fate at the hands of their own slimes.

Clearly, it wasn't over yet.

In their eyes, this was a secret racial war that needed to be dealt with swiftly lest all slime slaves start rebelling as well.

That's what the association of explorers were afraid to off.

Not the fact that copies were killing the exploration crews, but their 'patriotic acts' affecting the real slave slimes!
