    This is the part that frustrates me the most. That damned master is a complete fool. He wants to cling to a futile hope that a battleship survived a corrupted terror. What makes it even more stupid is that he is afraid to leave the research center because they might encounter Titans while traveling. Titans that are traveling a whole continent, while it is true that meeting one means certain death and the chances of them meeting one is incredibly high.

    It is infinitely better than staying in front of a corrupted terror with mind attacks as its main arsenal. I’d rather meet a Titan that uses brute force than one that uses mind hex. Verne is basically saying that there’s a scary thing out there so we should not go and instead stay in front of something scary that already killed dozens of them with the death toll steadily rising. Plus, that terror is still just having a light snack. Who knows how many abominations that lives underwater is already under its control.

        There’s no certain fate here. They don’t want to trust Sunny’s words, understandably so, because they don’t want to let go of hope plus they lack certain evidence. The same with the Titans, their chance of encountering one is 50/50 with the probability getting higher the longer they travel. Still, the fact remains that them encountering a Titan is still far in the future while the Corrupted Tyrant is in front of them. The obvious choice is to get away from the more immediate danger and prolong their survival for as long as possible. Only that way can they have a chance at salvation.

          I agree both choices are danger but one is obviously coming targeting you other might still offer some chance at survival

      the problem isnt the titans
      its the civilians who cannot defend themselves from the nightmare creatures
      if everyone is a group with any fortifications like walls or turrets it doesnt matter how strong sunny is the nightmare creatures are swarming everyone else and killing them

        You’re underestimating them, they have an army of mundane with good equipments. While also having multiple cohorts of awakened, not including the one under Sunny’s command. They have better chances against a horde of abominations than the corrupted tyrant.

          And with the fact things seem to have gone wrong with sunny bringing a piece of ship with him there really isn't much of a choice here

      It's not just Titans. Nightmare hordes of all proportions roam Antartica and we have already seen gates appear in great amounts. While running away is feasible, given the conditions of both the terrain, enemies and allies, it is still a damn hard decision to make. It's not that Verne is stupid but he is incredibly human and this kind of dread that settles in after weeks of devastation and sleep deprivation leaves only emptiness.

        I still don’t see why Verne would choose that, maybe if he was alone I wouldn’t care much. But he basically decided the lives of thousands of people by himself. Plus, the fact that the decision was based on his emotions of wanting to cling to something when reality is already as clear as it can be.

        Yeah, the possibility of meeting a Titan is high and the possibility of meeting hordes of nightmare creatures is even higher that it is already a certainty. But it is still f#cking better than just doing nothing and just sitting there in front of certain death.

        The chance of the boat coming when there’s a corrupted tyrant in the way and them meeting a rescue unit that hq might’ve somehow sent along the way if they left LO49 is basically the same.

    Well Verne has a point anyway, it is obviously a bad idea to hang on to hope like that but they don't have too many option

    I mean sunny can go away solo and try to enter dream realm to gather intel it may not be much safe but better than doing nothing or trying to enter dream realm near the gate that spat out the corrupted terror

    The creature might be waiting for that moment, that's why he can't take any chance.

    I have a theory that the whole situation with losing contact with others and grim situation outside is a mind control and that is the reason why they haven't evacuated themselves before Sunny

    Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
