[431] Opportunity for Revenge (3)
A secret underground laboratory of the Rebel 2nd HQ.
Reisis did not reprimand Shirone and Fleur for sacrificing two members of the SWAT team.
The subordinates wanted to release Shirone from his post and restore the commander's honor, but they were more curious about the completion of the search for Babel.
After sequestering Syrone and Fleur in their quarters, Reisis took their blood samples again.
The superficial reason was that there was a possibility of being infected with an unknown pathogen, but in reality it was to enter Babel and secure a clone of the changed Shirone.
'Angel's Tomb. That place was Babel? Did it really exist? I thought it was a story in a myth.'
As long as Shirone came out after confirming the true nature of Babel, there was no way he could not believe it.
Also, if the myth was true, I had a vague idea of what spirit Shirone found there.
'Probably the Ultima system. If Shirone has learned the language of the ancients, it's a great opportunity for me too.'
Resis went to the iron cage on one side of the laboratory.
A hideous monster was banging its head against the barbed wire.
"Kick! Kiik!"
The biologists recording the monster's condition shuddered each time the iron bars thumped.
The king of breeding, Garas.
It is an extraterrestrial species whose reproductive instinct is 100,000 times stronger than that of humans, and it is possible to mate with 1,027 creatures known to the Norse alone.
Humans are no exception, and even males are recognized as objects of reproduction even though only males exist biologically.
According to academic reports, when Garas tried to reproduce with a human female and a human male, the probability of success was only 2%.
There is no clear definition of a garas, as they can interbreed with any species, from small insects to giant monsters.
However, the organ called 'protein palace' that manipulates the amino acid sequence and the rapid cell division that creates the genital organs were common.
Although they are smart enough to have an average intelligence ten times that of humans, they are only interested in breeding, so they are known to have failed to achieve independent intellectual civilization.
The ultimate play of the developed intellect? Or a natural occurrence according to the unique environment in which they lived?
The cause is unknown, but what is clear is that Garas is a species that only breeds and is a quarantined species belonging to the highest risk group in Purgatory due to its powerful ability to break down the barriers between species.
"Commander, why did you bring something like this? Command is doomed if they are ever released. No, the entire area will become a colony of Garras."
"are you okay. You just need to manage well. If you don't have this, you can't produce a clone of Shirone, can you?"
Although he succeeded in combining Shirone's genetic information with the egg of a Norse, it was difficult to conceive due to subtle differences in the evolutionary process.
However, the problem could be solved neatly by using Garras' genetic affinity as a link.
The biologist replied with a puzzled expression.
"then… … We will start today."
"no. Before that, clone Flu first."
"yes? why… … no way?"
The biologist's face went pale.
Clearly, the combination of Shirone, Flu, and Garras can produce explosive clones.
However, even scholars who crossed the forbidden line could not help but feel remorse this time.
Because he is human too.
Made of flesh and blood, and loathe pain and death.
'Is this woman really sane?'
That was all the biologist was curious about.
"Commander, do we really need to go this far?"
"Now it is an exhibition. You have to make small sacrifices to win. You're helping me because you've already made up your mind, aren't you?"
"But this… … ."
Laceys stopped talking.
"I don't have much time. If the Babel Shirone is searching for is the Babel I know."
"Why? I understand that Babel is a weapon created by the ancient Gaians to attack Heaven."
"Of course it is."
Lacey shut her mouth.
I'll tell you in advance, there won't be any need to upset the headquarters.
At that time, the person who sealed Babel was the archangel Kariel.
* * *
Niflheim.
The world of the dead where everything is frozen.
What unfolded before Gaold's eyes was a vast ice sheet and a frozen mountain range that surrounded it farther away.
A world so cruel that a normal creature would be frozen solid before even encountering anything.
If Zulu hadn't summoned the tier 2 monster Salamander to raise the temperature around them, they would have been in the same situation.
In any case, this is where the King of Giants, Ymir's body is confined, 'the wall of ice that never melts'.
The salamander, which was three meters long, was lying flat on the ground and generating heat with its whole body.
Even so, the ice sheet did not melt and did not even get wet, and rather, the salamander felt the chill and shivered.
Every time the flame weakened, the shape of a lizard, the true form of a salamander that you would never normally see, was revealed.
Gaold asked, spewing frost.
"How many?"
Gangnan checked the pouch.
"Twenty-four."
"Right."
Black Elixir is being collected later than expected.
The first commander of the rebels, Crude, said it was a 50% chance, but the chance of actually catching the demon and obtaining the elixir seemed to be less than 20%.
Of course, that alone is a very high probability, and with 24 elixirs, there is nothing that cannot be bought on the mainland.
However, it was insignificant compared to the results obtained at the end of penance, and a considerable amount of physical strength was lost in return.
'cold.'
Gangnan emitted a long frost cloud.
Driving around Niflheim for six days was insane for a human to attempt.
Zulu also hasn't been able to get any sleep since he hasn't quit Salamander for a moment in six days.
Gangnan's eyes turned to Gaold's wide back.
how cold is it
If Gangnan is cold, Gaold is a thousand times colder.
If Gangnan moaned from frostbite to the extent that his fingertips were paralyzed, Gaold suffered a thousand times more than that.
'How can you not even show it? How are you holding up with that?'
"At this rate, we'll get tired first."
Gaold looked back at the guide.
He was an old man with a scar on his face, with a rat-like appearance.
The reason he can roam around Niflheim is because he made a contract with the Ice Spirit with all his wealth.
However, no matter how high the value of the spirit is, if the magic skill is low, the place where you can't even find it is purgatory.
In the end, the job he could earn was a guide in Niflheim, which had a high probability of death.
As much as risking their lives, the requirements were demanding.
They never get involved in battle, but they have to give 50% of the harvested items here.
There was no way Gaold would accept such an unfair contract, but he changed his mind when he realized that the probability of obtaining the black elixir after the first hunt in Niflheim was lower than expected.
Niflheim was an incredibly large place, and the frequency of meeting evil spirits was surprisingly low.
If you wander like this, you will collapse from exhaustion or freeze to death before you can fill the desired amount.
He decided that it would be better to hit the jackpot by entering 'Hell', where the ruler of Niflheim is located.
"How much further do I have to go? Hell or something."
"Oh, if you go this way a little further… … ."
The guide who was pointing to the front closed his eyes tightly and shouted, as if he thought that it would not work in the end.
"no! I can't go any further! Let's go back!"
He was tired of Gaold's group.
It is a land of death that no one approaches, but there are very few crazy people who enter with the goal of making a fortune.
The guide also explored Niflheim six times with such people.
It was once every two years, but it was a business that would be enough to get one black elixir, and if you get two, you can play for two more years.
Of course, before meeting Gaold and the others, all he had to do was to defeat the ghosts on the outskirts of Niflheim and pray for the black elixir to fall.
However, the current guides were different.
From the beginning, without even looking at the outskirts, he ran straight for Hel for six days, catching close to two hundred Grim Reapers.
Grim Reaper, the strongest evil spirit belonging to the Triple S hunting class in the mainland.
The guide couldn't help but fall into incontinence when he saw the god of death wielding a huge scythe sitting on a black horse 5 meters tall.
I came all this way because I was fascinated by the fun of dropping the noble black elixir whenever I was bored, but to be honest, I just wanted to go home.
"okay? Anything you want to finish."
Gaold obediently agreed.
However, one condition was added.
"If you want to break the contract and go alone."
'You evil bastard!'
The guide grinded his teeth.
I'll have to put up with it because I can't compete with power anyway, but a bitter feeling rang deep in my bones.
With 12 black elixirs, you can live happily ever after.
No, I will marry 100 native beauties. And I have to give birth to about 1,000 children.
It was an imagination based on evil, but it was the value of 12 black elixirs that made it possible in reality.
"Okay, let's go all the way! But my role is until Hell. From there, I don't even know the way!"
"Anyway."
Gaold turned and started walking on the icy road.
Gaold was like a mountain to everyone, but his face was emaciated.
Zulu stopped sucking her black nipple and pointed straight ahead.
"There is something."
The face of the guide who looked ahead was filled with emotion. It was an expression of pure professional calling.
'I've lived here, so I've come this far.'
The reason why you can guide in Niflheim, a flawless zone where you can't find any personality, is because the corpses of strangers who have invaded this place for a long time become a mark.
As Gaold's group approached, well over a thousand creatures were frozen like statues.
They were in different time zones and different species, but all of them looked terrified.
"Is this the entrance to Hel?"
"wait. It's my first time here too. According to our investigation… … ."
The guide took out his notebook and checked the memo. She turned her body around as if she couldn't show it to anyone.
As the only Niflheim expert in the mainland, the notes were packed.
"Well, in the corpse of the Cathesis race frozen with one eye closed… … ."
The guide, looking left and right, noticed a bipedal creature with a long tail on the face of a lizard and approached it.
"The side the index finger of your left hand points to."
The guide's face wrinkled after checking his left hand.
'Damn it, you only have three fingers. Which one is black?'
Presuming it to be the middle finger, the guide pointed at a 15-degree bend in the direction they had walked.
"If you go over there, Hell will come out. So at this point I… … Hee!"
The guide looked back at Gaold and stomped his butt with a surprised expression.
Terrible speculation was emanating from the party.
"I-that… … !"
A thick mist was rising over the ice.
It was a scene everyone was familiar with, but the situation was different this time.
As the black horse's shape was revealed on the ice, it cried in a higher tone than the woman's scream.
On the saddle, surrounded by black smoke, Grim Reaper clutched the reins, a four-meter scythe slung over his shoulder.
The number of objects is 40.
It was the largest number in a single battle.
"damn! damn! To die with 12 black elixirs!"
The guide poured out tears with a desperate expression as if he had already given up his life.
There was no one to comfort him.
Even Zulu thought it was a different level of difficulty than before.
"I will release the Salamander."
If you've already exhausted your stamina, it's a daunting feeling for Gangnan and Gaold to face.
However, Gaold overcame the gangranan and went alone towards the group of Grim Reapers.
"I am waiting here. Because you get caught up in it too."
"Are you crazy? What are you going to do? And I'm not weak enough to get caught in battle!"
"I know. but… … ."
Gaold leaned over as if collapsing and looked back at Gangnan.
"It will be different this time."
Gangnan's face hardened like stone as he sensed something.
The hair starting from Gaold's forehead was rapidly bleaching.

[432] Opportunity for Revenge (4)
Heaven's Fifth Thousand Matei.
The giant, born from the sake of an anecdote, returns to Matei after realizing the law through a sacred ceremony in Jotunheim.
As 'those who keep the law', their main duty was to maintain the peace of heaven and fight against external forces.
Kariel, accompanied by Uriel, looked up at the huge castle towering over Matei.
At the appearance of the lofty archangel, the 15-meter-tall giants who had reached the 4th level of Ilhwa's art bowed their heads.
I did my best to bend at the waist, but it was so huge that I couldn't even come close to the top of Kariel's head, which was 2 meters 30 centimeters.
Kariel snorted and passed through the front door.
Even so, his heart was in a very uncomfortable state.
Ymir, the king of giants, says that he can't help it because he annihilated the 'part' and went into hibernation.
But at least for the corps commander, shouldn't he have to come out barefoot and bow his head.
"These are real… … !"
The present situation in heaven was a mess.
After Shirone, the light of Area 73, broke the sobriety of the anecdote, the subjects began to suspect Ankera, and everything changed after that.
Kariel wanted to immediately fly to Purgatory and punish the rebels, but she couldn't even protect herself unless she was accompanied by Uriel.
'Let's see. I'll put an end to it sooner or later.'
If Jebul's structure was perfect, Matei's castle only competed with grandeur.
The colors of Mecha, Nord, and Kergo were not mixed, and materials in a pure natural state were piled up only with the power of giants.
Just looking at the gigantic pillars, which could only be carried by non-giants, showed their way of thinking.
After passing through the hall and climbing the central stairway as high as a wall, there was a line of giant guards reaching up to the ceiling.
Power enough to destroy the world.
But they never move. Until Ymir's instructions were given.
"Why is the great archangel in such a humble place?"
Perhaps the smallest here, a 3-meter-tall giant approached, dragging a black cloak.
Although it is not large, it has a sense of weight that makes the floor vibrate with each step.
Girshin, the giant corps commander who has reached level 7 of Anecdotal Art.
If Ymir was like a rock in its natural state, he had the impression of a sword that had been forged a thousand times.
"Meet the corps commander Guru-sin, the angel."
Standing in front of Kariel, Girshin immediately bent one knee and bowed his head.
Even a warrior known to be able to split a mountain with a single blow could not exceed the stature set by the law.
Kariel didn't like that.
Among the eight archangels, he had nothing to say about force, so it felt like he could see into the hearts of those who worshiped the logic of force.
"Does the body become sluggish when it reaches level 7? You only moved 100 meters while I got here."
Girshin raised one corner of his mouth.
"A giant does not have an infinite mind like an angel. He would have gone to meet him if he had sent a message in advance."
Girshin's response was certainly different from that of Ymir.
For a giant with a certain amount of hair, it would be a waste of time to find fault with the past.
"The reason I found it myself is to give you instructions."
"What if you say instructions?"
"Lead the giant army and wipe out the rebels right now."
Girshin's brow narrowed.
We know from rumors that there is currently a conflict of opinion among the angels in Jebul.
However, ignoring Ra's message about the prohibition of angelic activity and acting arbitrarily was another form of treason.
"Haona, Ra… … ."
"That's why I found you. Ra's message is valid only for angels. Above all, the current rebels are sweeping away the giants born from anecdotes as soon as they are discovered. There must be enough justification for the giants to move, right?"
Girshin realized that he was in a situation where he could neither subtract nor beat.
But he had no intention of moving the giant army.
They only follow Ymir.
The reason why Anchera obeys is also because Ymir obeys.
"sorry. I don't think I can follow your will."
Kariel's face crumpled evilly.
The sound of the guards salivating resonated loudly like a heartbeat, but Girshin's expression was calm.
"Are you going to refuse? Are you serious?"
Kariel opened the 'Daebeopjeon', a sacred object unique to the angel of birth.
It was an outright threat, and it meant that he would risk his life the next time he uttered the words.
"Don't you know Kariel? Without King Ymir's orders, the giants… … ."
"Aaaaaa! An insignificant giant!"
After closing the Great Law, Kariel frantically slashed Girshin's head with it.
There was not the slightest hint of angelic dignity in his face as he screamed and waved his arms.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
No matter how weakened the archangel's attack was, it was not negligible.
Blood ran down Girshin's forehead, who just kept his mouth shut.
Uriel, who was watching with his arms crossed, thought of the sudden transformation of the angel he had known from the beginning.
'This isn't like you, Kariel.'
Archangel of Birth, Kariel. He was smashing Girshin's head with the Great Law.
'Are you so hateful to humans? No, you should know by now. You look like… … .'
Uriel got out of his thoughts.
Terrible killing spree was rising from the guards lined up on the left and right.
Although the status of the law is low, the pride of a servant is no less than that of an angel.
It was only natural that such a giant's corps commander would feel resentment when he was subjected to humiliating violence in front of his subordinates.
thud.
As one giant stepped out and prepared to step out, Uriel's starlight expanded into Halo.
Realizing this, Girsin broke his calm expression and looked back at his subordinate, widening his eyes terribly.
"Ugh… … ."
The Guardsman, overwhelmed by the eyes of the corps commander, quietly returned to his seat as if it had been a mistake.
Every time the Great Law was struck, cracks appeared on the floor and the ground caved in, but Girshin did not take any action.
'Now is not the time to step out. Even if we attack in groups, Yuriel, the angel of destruction, will not win.'
An incarnation of destruction said to rival Ikael in his heyday even among the archangels in combat power alone.
'You have to endure. Until our king, Ymir, comes.'
Kariel stepped back with her tired hands trembling.
It felt like the asteroid was blurring and the thought circuit was melting.
"haha."
Girshin didn't say anything, just staring at his own blood dripping on the floor.
It was an abominable sight to Kariel, who longed for creation.
"let's go!"
As Kariel turned and walked away, Uriel finally showed his emotions and looked back at the giants.
The presence of the angels prescribed by the law made the giant's two legs tremble.
"Be careful, Girshin. You are not Ymir."
The body of Yuriel, who spread the wings of light, rose beautifully and turned into a flash of light and flew to the front door.
* * *
Gaold's face, whose hair had turned white, was terribly contorted like that of a demon.
The powerful air gun spread through bullets and penetrated all 40 Grim Reapers.
Then, suddenly, the ice sheet vibrated and the Grim Reaper's shape turned to smoke like an angry flame.
Ooh oh oh oh!
The hood disappeared, revealing a hideous skull.
When the deaf ears exploded, as if hearing them would drive you crazy, the guide clutched his head and collapsed.
"Aaaaaagh!"
I didn't come here in the first place.
Black Elixir and luxurious life were just delusions to those who heard this.
"I, please… … Aaaaaaan!"
At the signal of the guide's cry, Kang Nan kicked off the ground and ran.
Her expression was still not good. The accident was paralyzed as the incident from 10 years ago came to mind.
'That fool!'
Grim Reaper, emitting a vivid light purple aura, swung his scythe roughly at Gangnan.
All of them were cutting beyond the level of Mach.
Although they are also made of a certain 'material', they seemed to operate in a completely different mechanism from the existing physical world.
Kang Nan, who evaded the attack with a nimble movement like a bouncing ping-pong ball, rushed to the dark horse's leg and kicked it.
As the black horse's thick legs suddenly broke, thick black smoke rose as if on fire.
Hey hey hey hey!
The black horse's screams pierced his eardrums, but Kang Nan gnashed his teeth and endured.
I looked around in search of Gaold, but it felt like the world was enveloped in a black curtain because of the rampaging dark horses.
"I really can't live!"
When Kang Nan, who was sitting down, pushed his strength, the thigh part of the stocking opened and a hole was pierced in a waterdrop pattern.
The moment the Grim Reaper's scythe plunged vertically, her body soared 20 meters into the air as if it had escaped the gravitational field.
Gaold was seen buried among the many Grim Reapers. Every time Grim Reaper's shape spread in smoke, a flash of iron-colored light raked the place where Gaold was.
Currently, the magic that protects Gaold is nothing more than an air shield that even beginners can use, but none of the attacks can penetrate the sphere's defense.
"Big!"
As Gaold's face began to contort like a goblin's, Gangnan's heart sank.
"no!"
Atmospheric pressure suddenly surged around Gaold.
Pain 100,000 times – air pressing.
Koo Goo Goo Goo Goo!
As the ice shook as if an earthquake had occurred, the black smoke body of the Grim Reaper was flattened like rubber.
"Whoa!"
Gaold puffed out his cheeks and took a deep breath.
In the meantime, the crushed Grim Reapers crawled out of the ground and returned to their original state from a distance.
It was a characteristic of Niflheim that it regenerated in an instant if you gave it a little bit of room to escape.
Gangnan, who came into the Grim Reaper's siege, shouted as he walked quickly as if he was angry.
"it's crazy! I really want to die… … !"
Gaold, his eyes wide open, parted his mouth faintly.
In front of that face, Kang Nan couldn't nag.
It just didn't make sense to be able to laugh.
"I told you not to come. I couldn't finish it because of you."
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't you know that everything ends when you die here?"
"don't worry. It's different from 10 years ago."
Gangnan couldn't stand it and screamed.
"It was still dangerous!"
autoreciprocal mutation.
It was the disease that Gaold got on the Day of Judgment of the Twenty.
The functional limitations of organisms are limited to the environment.
The reason humans burn is because they were born in a place without fire, and the reason Salamanders are not burned is because they were born in fire.
If it is the environment that sets the limits of a creature, Gaold has severed the link between himself and the environment through a terrible penance.
Because there is no environment, there is no limit to mutations that occur in the stem cell stage.
Even in everyday life, Gaold's nervous system is at least 1,000 times more sensitive than normal people, and the world of Gaold was completely different from the world experienced by all humans.
Literally hell.
Even simply breathing in, it feels like glass powder goes into your lungs, and even a gust of wind feels like your skin is going to tear.
However, what he got in return was self-denial and unimaginable mental strength that no one could imitate.
"You know it becomes extremely dangerous from the pain 10,000 times! Even now, my hair is leaking and my memory is flying, but if I raise it beyond that, I will really die!"
"I will not die."
Gaold turned coldly and walked away.
"As for the pain, I will never die."
Kang Nan clenched his fists and bit his lip.
But in the end, as if resigned, he lowered his head and slowly retreated.
I knew the truth.
You don't die because of pain, you suffer because you couldn't die.
I don't know why Gaold was cursed like this.
One thing was certain, it was the fact that there was no one else who could annihilate 40 of the strongest demons in an instant.
Gaold's eyes slowly returned to normal.
Recovering his smile, he wiggled his fingers and taunted the Grim Reaper.
"Come on, you less-than-fallen skeleton gourds."
Ooh oh oh oh!
It is unlikely that they understood human speech, but as if receiving a signal, all the Grim Reapers expanded their auras.
The screams of countless ghosts shook the snowy landscape, and a light purple aura swirled around like a whirlpool.
The whirlpool soon turned into thousands of skulls, all fired at Gaold.
The sun was obscured as the sky was covered in darkness, and thousands of skull bombs fell upon Gaold in the darkness.
"haha. Kkkkkkkkk!"
Gaold gritted his teeth and lowered his stance.
The pupils disappeared from his pupils, who wickedly tore the corners of his mouth.
Pain 100,000 times – air pressing.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Everything poured down, and the great darkness was crushed with a roar.

[433] Opportunity for Revenge (5)
The ice sheet of Niflheim shook.
If you looked down from a high place, you would be able to see the rhythm of the ice molecules spreading out like concentric circles on the water surface.
Gaold stood in the middle of the wave.
He was standing and nothing was there.
"Big!"
Gaold gritted his teeth like a demon.
The veins that ran up his neck to his temples wriggled like an annelids.
The guide knelt on the ice and looked at the place where the Grim Reaper had disappeared, devastated.
"This, this is nonsense."
At that time, the ice sheet could not withstand the waves and spread in all directions, causing thick cracks.
A zig-zag crack stretched out, curving toward the guide as if he were conscious.
"Hey!"
Nan Nan grabbed the guide's collar and flung himself, and a 4-meter-wide crack quickly passed where they were.
The cracks stopped and the area became completely scorched.
It was the presence Gaold carved into Niflheim.
Whoa oh oh oh!
As the Grim Reapers ascended to heaven, they began to spit out the life streams they had accumulated throughout their lives.
"Huh? uh huh?"
The guide's eyes shook in shock.
It was the first time in his life to see as many as 10 black elixirs flying into the sky at the same time.
Even my consciousness was confused by the powerful pleasure that made my heart stop just by looking at it.
As he watched the Elixir roll across the ice with a thump, he swatted his limbs like a madman and ran.
Without even noticing that his palms were being cut by the cold ice, he swept the elixir dazedly.
When I held it with both hands, it was quite heavy.
It was quite heavy, but it felt like I was carrying the heaviest thing in the world.
'If this is all mine… … .'
The guide's eyes were filled with desire.
However, the moment I saw Kang Nan's cold face, my spirit flashed. Words she hadn't even asked came out of her mouth.
"Oh, no, half of it is mine… … ."
"Pick it up. All."
After confirming that the guide was frantically picking up the elixir, Gangnan turned to Gaold.
'He's like an idiot!'
Pain 100,000 times.
An experience that ordinary humans cannot even imagine. But for Gaold, it's just a common reality.
After all, pain is just a special signal from the nervous system that is transmitted to the brain.
It's just like that.
Human beings who have to live their whole lives enduring extreme pain that cannot be escaped or denied.
That was the curse placed on Gaold.
"are you okay?"
Gaold, who had regained his former form, wrinkled his nose like a mischievous person.
"Hey, what if it's not okay? Can I kiss you?"
Gangnan snorted.
If that were to happen at all, how would Gaold deal with it?
Pain in the sensitive senses? The greatest thrill of your life?
"I'm sorry, but I don't have that kind of hobby with old people."
"Why is this? When we first met, he was so shy that he couldn't even raise his head."
Absolutely nothing like that happened.
However, Kang Nan recalled that time with a sad expression.
'I… … Was it?'
I was relieved to see his bold appearance, but the more I did, the more I felt a fire raging inside me.
The sense of prestige soared 100 times in an instant.
Even an ordinary human will scream and roll on the floor if the pain of a cut fingertip is amplified 100 times.
However, Gaold is basically a human with 1,000-fold amplification.
I knew that it couldn't really be okay without looking inside.
"Listen carefully. In the future, when raising pain… … ."
"I can see a little way now. Let's go quickly."
Gaold cut off Kang Nan's words and headed to the guide.
Faced with reality, the guide's face was completely terrified.
At the beginning of the journey, I even thought that I could take care of my share.
However, when he saw the force that destroyed 40 Grim Reapers in an instant, he realized where he had been brought to.
It wasn't a question of betrayal or backstabbing.
In Niflheim, where there was nothing but ghosts, Gaold was like a god holding his own life.
'It will kill me. I'm sure it will.'
The condition of having 50% of the Elixir harvested.
Proportionately, it's strong, but in reality, if you get two black elixirs, you have one of them.
At least that's how it was calculated so far.
However, as the number of elixirs increased, that 50 percent ratio began to feel like an enormous weight.
Wouldn't there be a reason to keep yourself alive when you already had to pay a huge amount of elixir?
"How many did you collect?"
The guide winced and opened the pouch.
"Eh, so… … ."
14 obtained this time, 24 previously.
The thought of having as many as 38 black elixirs in hand made me feel like I was dreaming.
"As you can see, there are 38 of them."
The guide added hastily.
"I-I don't have such a big greed… … So please… … ."
"Go back."
"yes?"
The guide, who was about to beg for help, raised his head with a bewildered expression.
"Leave half of it, take half with you. From now on, I'm not at the level where you guide me."
If 40 Grim Reapers appear at the same time, there is no guarantee that more enemies will not appear the closer you get to Hell.
Giving up greed at this point was a good thing for the guide, and there was also a profit and loss calculation that said that 50% of the black elixir's mass acquisition would increase over time.
'Go back? Are you serious?'
maybe sincere
There is no reason for strong people who can kill themselves at any time if they want to stab them in the back.
The guide's head began to spin rapidly as the most feared problem was resolved.
Return to the mainland with 19 Black Elixir.
You can live your life doing whatever you want for 38 years.
'no. I'd rather use about 10 black elixirs to build a community. Then I'll be able to play and eat for the rest of my life while managing my subordinates.'
However, unlike the head, the heart did not move easily.
If you build a community with 10 black elixirs, you have 9 left in your hand.
But the human heart is so strange, I felt as if I had lost 10 of the 19 that should have been there.
In addition, there was a feeling that there was something lacking in keeping the remaining 9 numbers for life.
'Ai-san, if there was only one more, I would have lost my regrets. If it's 10, what's 10 or 9? It's embarrassing.'
The feeling of having the whole world with just one black elixir had already disappeared before the greater greed that came after achieving it.
'Yes, just one more. Even if I go back now, it's just as dangerous.'
I've memorized the path of the Grim Reaper's low incidence, but the data isn't 100% accurate.
"What if I suddenly break the contract? I can't back off like this. I will guide you to Hell."
Gaold stared the guide in the eye.
It was a desperate look as if he had seized the last chance of his life.
"Cheuk, yes, if you're a man, you'll have to take a big hit. Guide me."
"Your words."
The guide quickly stood up and took the lead.
Tapping the bag full of black elixir, I remembered the words of my parents when I was a child.
Paddle when the water comes in.
#4. bioshock
"It's done. Wake up."
Shirone and Fleur took off their glasses and similar mechanisms and got out of bed.
I was quarantined for 7 days and had a physical examination once a day, and today was the day I had my brainwaves measured.
"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. As of this time, the quarantine measures will be lifted, so you can go back to your accommodation."
Shirone let out a sigh of relief.
The situation where I couldn't even go to the bathroom properly for 7 days was finally over.
After leaving the examination room, Shirone and Fleur headed to the dorm side by side.
Shirone, who had been careful of what she said until now, opened her mouth.
"No matter how you think about it, it's strange, right? Why are they examining us so persistently?"
I guessed from the beginning that infection with an unknown pathogen was just an excuse.
Even so, the reason I didn't show it was because I didn't want to lose even the opportunity to blow the counter in a situation where my hands and feet were tied.
"I doubt that too. The promised integration of the rebels is also sluggish. Now that containment has been lifted, something has changed. I'll find out little by little while you focus on your foreign activities."
"Is it really necessary? Maybe it has nothing to do with us."
Team Shirone's ground task is to unite the rebels.
Even if Reysis had a secret, if it was the internal circumstances of the headquarters, there was no need to scratch and scratch it.
'no. There must be something.'
While in quarantine, information with the outside world was thoroughly blocked, but minor changes made while going to and from the examination room made her uncomfortable.
'I'll have to search at a level that doesn't get caught.'
An old man passing through the hallway glanced at the flue.
* * *
Raysis entered the secret laboratory of the 2nd Command.
He was wearing a red cloak as usual, and his expression was in a state of deep recall.
"You sent the items requested by the night blind?"
"yes. Dismantling now. Please check."
On the test bench, chunks of meat with a thick layer of fat were piled up inside the slime-stained gray leather.
On the table across from it, a part corresponding to the creature's face was enshrined.
Reisis trembled when she saw the long snake-like snout and the jagged teeth embedded in the circular mouth.
'It is certainly. I finally got it.'
Park Yo-jong and Jeremong.
As a creature belonging to the Purgatory Hunt Rank A class, it possesses the ability of Antithesis, which binds all targets other than its own kind.
In other words, it is a law that rejects the law, and it is assumed that it is a unique mechanism of the home planet where Izermont inhabits.
"I saw the night blindness so funny. It's nowremon. You got it much faster than I thought, didn't you?"
"I was surprised too. Even the elite soldiers of the headquarters raised both their hands and feet on Antithese."
"I must have found a way to hunt or hired someone good. It could be both. let's start anyway Activate the Fuzix Machine."
Where Resis turned, there was a device in which a huge glass sphere was placed at each vertex of an octagon centered on a 4-meter-high glass tube.
Biological Mixer Fusex Machine.
It was a device that created a new organism with complex traits by mixing two or more types of organisms.
'I have to strengthen Izermont somehow.'
Park Yo-jong Jeremon has excellent functions on its own, but it could be a more perfect weapon by combining various characteristics that can make use of the strengths of the antithesis.
'An antithesis to the extent of suppressing the actions of angels. If it doesn't have that much power, it can't be used in war.'
After dissolving the various elixirs in perfect proportions, pouring water and adding the black elixir, a long black liquid flowed down the hose and into the barrel.
It was the 'Plasm' used in Anecdote's sake.
Plasma, which reacts only to organic substances, melts living things and absorbs their own genetic information.
When this is mixed with another plasma and electrical stimulation is applied, a new organism with the characteristics of the two entities is created, which is exactly the same as the technique of the anecdote.
However, since humans are not the only materials, the probability of failure increases as the number of types increases.
The reason why Raysis had eyes on Shirone was to control the variables of interspecies union with the powerful spirit of the Nephilim.
"Commander, Izermont's Plasma is complete."
Raysis's eyes sparkled with joy when she saw the bobbing plasma in the barrel.
It had a stench that made you want to cover your nose, but to her, it was the sweetest scent in the world.
'I will evolve endlessly.'
It was the water of life that would lead her to the seat of a god.

Chapter - 434 - Opportunity for Revenge (6) 1.txt
===============================
[434] Opportunity for Revenge (6)
Isgermont's Plasma was poured into one of the eight slots that could fit into the Fuzix Machine.
7 slots left.
Reisis planned to combine the traits of another creature, Volthum, Grabber, and Liston, to enhance Izermont's antithesis ability.
Volthoom, which looks like a mosquito magnified a thousand times, has a unique trait called 'blood adhesion', which has an affinity for the target it sucked blood from.
It is presumed to be a psychological mechanism evolved to suppress the hemolytic reaction, and in the laboratory, it was used as a tool to subjugate living organisms through this characteristic.
"I will pour Volthoom's Plasma."
As Grabber, which has the ability to levitation, and Liston's Plasma, which increases the activity of creatures, were poured in, the four types of creatures waited for them to mix in the Physics Machine.
Unlike an anecdote, in order to bring out a unique trait, a main type must be set. Currently, the main is Igermont, and three subtypes will strengthen the antithesis.
"Then let's begin."
When the button was pressed, all four types of plasmas, which were about half full in the glass sphere, were sucked into the central glass tube.
When electricity flowed through the vacuum, the liquid began to boil.
"Ohhh!"
It was a wonderful scene to watch.
Researchers who once felt repulsed by inhumane biological experiments, but at this moment, they could not turn away from the joy of the creator of creating creatures with their own hands.
As the electricity discharged through the glass tube, a powerful white light spread that blinded them.
While everyone turned their heads, only Laceys was watching the changes inside the glass tube with ecstatic eyes.
As a new species was born, the glass tube split into quarters and fell to the floor.
"Success!"
Researchers were awed by the completely different forms of life that deviated from their predictions.
It was a huge eyeball with a diameter of 1 meter, and the surface was covered with a thin epidermis that served as an eyelid.
If you hit it with your eyes, dark red tentacles stretched out from where the ganglion was connected and fluttered like a tail.
Biological Weapon – Akamai (Prototype)
A cold shudder ran through the laboratory.
Can we really call this a creature?
When I was looking at something of an organic quality that was completely unrelated to environmental factors and only suited to human purposes, I thought that there was nothing that should not happen in the world.
"Haaaaa."
Reis's red lips parted softly.
What a beautiful shape this is.
God gave creatures the possibility of infinite change.
"Huh!"
The face of Reisis, who had reached ecstasy, was distorted.
The red cloak fluttered and something violently squirmed inside.
The biologist approached, looking terrified.
"Commander, now we have to sign a contract… … ."
Reisis hurriedly corrected her expression.
Sensitive stimuli were unpleasant, as if the intestines were protruding, but fortunately, they permeated the body again shortly after.
"Yeah, I almost forgot that."
Reisis slashed her wrists with her fingernails and delivered blood to Akamai.
Laryngeal. Laryngeal.
Akamai's large irises tightened as the blood dripped onto his epidermis was absorbed.
Then, as if to show intimacy, he turned to Lacey and blinked his eyelids a couple of times.
Volthoom's blood coalescence is complete.
"Is it a success?"
"of course. Became my faithful servant. So, shall we start in earnest from now on? Bring me a clone of Shirone."
When the researcher contacted the basement, the floor cracked and Shirone's clone came up on the elevator.
Currently, Shirone's brain is empty.
It was like an animal with only basic needs like feeding and reproduction.
When the researchers put a device that they thought was an EEG into their eyes and shone light into their eyes, patterns of memories were transmitted across the retina.
It was similar to the way Arcane and Alfeas jointly researched.
However, the factor of failure is also the same, so the clones injected with memories die soon after their minds collapse.
Of course, it was an issue that had nothing to do with Raysis.
If Shirone absorbed all of the creature's traits, all he had to do was swallow them with one gulp.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Berserk was cast on the bed where Shirone was lying.
The researchers who were swept away by the shock wave fell out, and Shirone's body jumped out like a wild beast to find a safe place.
'what? Where are you?'
Shirone moved her eyes left and right to gather information.
laboratory. laceys. Strange device I've never seen before.
Still don't understand the situation.
I was obviously lying next to Flu and getting an EEG, but suddenly I was here.
"What have you done to me?"
"Um, well?"
Lacey patted her lips.
"I wish I could explain, but I won't. I have a feeling I will have to say the same thing a lot in the future."
Reisis flicked a finger, and Akamai, floating in the air, activated the antithesis.
"Keugh!"
As if the air had turned to hard iron, Shirone couldn't lift a finger.
"This, this… … ?"
"Sorry. You must have intelligence to use the power of the Nephilim. It will be over soon."
Immortal Function is something that begins with insight, and it was impossible for a clone with only animal nature to reach.
Shirone grinded his teeth.
Aren't the eyes too happy to say I'm sorry?
Captured by Akamai, Shirone was transported in that state and entered the glass sphere of the Fuzix Machine.
Unlike the cadaveric experiment, it was a situation where the mental change had to be confirmed, so the method of putting the whole thing in and melting it directly was effective.
"Commander, what do I combine it with?"
A Nephilim with 100% affinity should be able to easily embrace the personality of any creature.
Also, in order to verify it, a creature with advanced features was preferred.
"Synthesize Akamai."
"yes? but… … ."
"doesn't care. After all, this is a prototype. This is a great opportunity to experiment with Shirone's clone."
The biologist obediently obeyed.
After the preparations for the experiment were over, the glass spheres in which Akamai and Shirone were trapped were filled with plasma.
The black liquid ran down Shirone's neck and covered his face.
After a while, the water level dropped and flowed into the central glass tube, and Shirone's figure disappeared without a trace.
The researchers looked nervously at the glass tube, which emitted a powerful light.
Main type Shirone, sub type Akamai.
The two organisms completely melted and were born into one organism.
"What, what?"
The glass tube was separated, and Shirone stood there with her eyes closed.
Even if the combination of functions is the center, since two creatures with different forms are mixed, there must be a change.
In an unexpected situation, the biologist corrected the glasses and examined them.
"Is this just a human? If the experiment failed… … ."
At that moment, Shirone's eyes flashed open, and a light burst from the left pupil of a different color.
"Aaaagh!"
Researchers screamed in a bone-twisting posture.
Reisis, who hurriedly widened her distance, put on a bewildered expression.
'Have you absorbed only the functions?'
The changes that take place in the state of Plasma are known only to those who have experienced them.
And Reisis was one of the humans who experienced the most plasma states in the world.
When you permeate the Plasma, your thinking stops. However, numerous signals are flowing in the liquid integrated into one material.
'It's an Ultima system.'
Therefore, if the unification signal can be controlled in the plasmic state, the possibility of selectively catering to functions and forms is sufficient.
'This is dangerous.'
No, it's a beautiful thing.
The ability to have the traits of any living creature that exists in the world.
It is literally reaching the realm of God.
"What have you done to me?"
Lacey's lips quivered.
Shirone even controlled her consciousness. Akamai completely surrendered.
'I want more, that ability.'
Laceys opened her arms and approached.
"Shirone, let's become one with me."
Shirone activated the antithesis. The mighty binding force stopped Reisis from walking.
But instead, she felt a sense of exhilaration.
It was a different level of strength from Isgermont's Antithese.
Shirone mercilessly hit the photon cannon.
Resis slammed into the wall and the ceiling shook. Her cloud of dust grew in her presence with each hail of flashes.
"ha. ha."
Shirone's eyes trembled in shock as he exhaled heavily and glared forward.
Half of the face of Reisis, who appeared through the smoke, had turned into a hideous monster.
Its eyes soared as if it would rip off its forehead, its pupils were as thin as snakes, and three times as many teeth as human teeth were stuck between its lips that crossed its lower jaw.
"Kiyi, Shi… … Lorne… … ."
Giving goosebumps at the sound of scratching an iron plate, Shirone opened her palm to take out Armand.
'Armed in gold… … uh?'
It was only then that Shirone realized that Kubrick was missing.
There's no way someone took it. This is because he has never lost consciousness from the moment he received the EEG.
'Could it be that I'm not me?'
Shirone quickly retraced the process so far.
Although he has never lost consciousness, the process from EEG to here is completely cut off.
The liquid seen in Anecdotal Sake. The change from being melted into it to being reconstructed into the Ultima System.
'It's cloned!'
Because it is not the main body, it is not wearing Kubrick. And Raysys is conducting an experiment using it.
'A biological bond similar to the sake of an anecdote.'
An intense insight flashed in Shirone's mind.
'Armand, Armand… … !'
Something swung from behind Reisis' cloak, and at the same time, Shirone's neck was separated from her body.
"Whoa."
Reisis quickly removed parts of her body.
It was a repulsive form, but the researchers couldn't even express it.
The moment you give meaning to your body, your neck will fly off, just like Shirone.
"From now on, we are doubling clone production. Be sure to find out what changes have taken place."
said the biologist anxiously.
"It's too dangerous. Syrone controlled the biotic bond. If, by any chance, the commander is eaten back, no creature will be able to stop Shirone."
Resis wasn't happy with that either.
"For the time being, experiment with Type A only. The clone before going to Babel. It would be fine without the Ultima System."
"But in the end, the main body is type B. The risk remains the same."
"doesn't care. If you set the main type to me, even the Ultima system won't be able to use its power."
According to the myth, Ilhwa's liquor was created to destroy the Ultima system, but it was unpredictable unless you knew how much of it was true.
Reisis smiled bitterly.
"Even if I get eaten."
"yes?"
"If I and Shirone become one, it will be something that is neither me nor Shirone. That's it. If I can become one with Shirone, I won't stop experimenting. Proceed like this."
Even if you set the main type, what will eventually be born is just a completely new creature.
That's why it didn't matter to her what her defining characteristics were.
But the biologist was still reluctant.
The Raysis thinks that mixing is enough, but the Ultima system completely controls the biological combination.
And researchers know nothing about how that's possible.
'Yes, Shirone can't turn things around. At most, becoming one with the commander is everything.'
Nevertheless, the reason for his anxiety was his vast experience in the laboratory for a long time.
To be optimistic that nothing will happen means that the information we have is limited to a narrow framework.
Variables are always unknown outside of cognition. And when something starts to move in that darkness… … .
'Is it really okay to proceed like this?'
Bioshock happens.

[435] Opportunity for Revenge (7)
Back in the room, Lacey unclips the cloak.
A red cloth trickled down her shoulders like a liquid and landed on the floor.
The photon cannon struck and through the torn clothes, the wounds that looked like fire were visible.
Annoyedly, Lacey threw off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror to look at herself.
What a hideous body.
A monstrous object that did not fit anything of truth, goodness, and beauty, and that no one could say was beautiful upon seeing it, was clinging to the neck.
His body was dry, distorted, and even dull in color, but even this was a result of desperate efforts.
"It's disgusting… … ."
Reisis was a subject. It is also a very outstanding citizen.
However, he was listed as a subject of anecdotal alcohol because he approached the creation myth, which is forbidden from investigation in heaven.
It melts. Become a terrible giant.
It was a sin to even show fear in the face of divine magic, but she knew it.
The fact that the alcohol of anecdotes is the most terrible tragedy that human beings can experience, and the end more gruesome than death.
Like some of Anecdote's drink subjects, Reisis also purchased the stimulant Epines through a secret route.
No one knows if it works, but even this is valuable to someone who has reached a dead end.
Leisis held Epines like the water of life and sat on a bench in the plaza and prayed fervently.
'I hope my spirit dwells in the giant's body.'
"Do you want to live?"
A voice came as if it had answered a call.
It was a middle-aged man with a benevolent look and a handsome beard.
I heard rumors that there were people who tried to analyze and approach it academically when everyone believed in the magic of anecdote as a sacred magic.
The man was also of that kind, and he passed on a secret art to Reisis.
"If you want to live, eat this before you get into Ilhwa's sake."
What the man handed over was a small gourd the size of a finger.
"What's in it?"
"fly."
"Ugh!"
Reisis frowned, but the man spoke sternly as if revealing an important fact.
"Swallow it alive. Then you will be able to live."
Just imagining it was disgusting, but because it was a life-and-death matter, Reisis couldn't bear to throw away the vial.
Thus, the anecdote's sake was implemented, and Reisis opened the lid of the vial with the thought that it would be worth the money.
When I put the spout of the bottle in my mouth and raised my head, something hard went around my mouth. Vomiting set in.
Resisting the feeling of disgust, Lacey swallowed the fly.
Kergoin came in, undressed her, and led her to one of the eight glass spheres erected next to the giant's statue.
'Please, please save me.'
While the plasma filled up, Reisis was so terrified that she couldn't even open her eyes and prayed.
The black liquid filled the glass sphere, and her body was disentangled and mixed with the others.
I felt like I was drunk in a place where countless consciousnesses merged.
It was different from the expected death, but it was a hopeless state that could not even feel alive.
The giants born in each district gathered together and started a procession toward Jotunheim.
As the day passed and a new dawn broke, one of the countless giants knelt down screaming.
The giant's body was soon separated into flesh and bones, and it melted and flowed like porridge.
Only Reisis was crouching on her knees in the place where the foul smell emanated.
"omg! omg!"
Upon regaining consciousness, the first thing she realized was the joy of life.
The man was right.
After eating the fly, he really came back alive from the giant's body.
'it's okay! I live!'
thud! thud!
When giants much taller than her height shook the ground, she set aside her joy for a moment and jumped.
It was much lighter than before, and it felt good.
I was just thirsty.
When I thought about that, to my surprise, I felt that there was a spring water several kilometers away.
'Your senses are sensitive. Could it be the ability of a giant?'
I ran and ran, but I couldn't even breathe.
The moment she finally arrives at Ongdalsaem and bends her upper body for haegal,
"Quaaaaaaagh!"
The forest was embroidered with the screams of Reisis, who was filled with despair when she found her face reflected in the water.
What is crueler than the shock of seeing a terrible face is that it is none other than one's own image.
Reisis shouted like a madman.
"no! give me back my body! I mean bring it back!"
At that time, the man who taught Reisis the secret art slowly approached through the forest.
The one who turned Reisis into a monster.
But now, many years have passed since then, she suddenly remembers it.
Maybe that man was the only one who fully acknowledged himself.
"Why, why did you make me like this! Why did you do this to me!"
"Because I said I wanted to live. What could be more important to living things than that?"
"Don't talk nonsense! If it were you, would you be able to live with such an ugly appearance?"
The man laughed.
"Whatever it is, you are you. By destroying form, you have acquired infinite form."
Reisis looked at the man walking away with a devastated expression.
In the midst of the terrible fact that there was no way to turn it back, she came up with the only question.
"you are… … Who the hell are you?"
The man stopped walking and turned his head slightly. And he said his name was Satan.
Reisis looked at her reflection in the mirror with cold eyes.
How many humans did he combine with to become at least a human-like form?
It absorbed the traits of Norse, Kergoin, Mecca, and even those from the Land of the Earth.
It brought powerful weapons and vast knowledge to Raysis, but it also produced severe side effects.
Abnormal changes occurred in various parts of the body even if he was a little careless, and he also moved regardless of his will.
"Shirone. You are my savior."
Shirone's spirit can contain all qualities, and she intended to blend the most beautiful beings in the world.
It was the body of an angel.
* * *
Second thousand Rakia. City of fallen angels.
A place where since ancient times, the angels who were negligent in their duties, obsessed with their own power, and wielded the law at will, were imprisoned.
Kariel looked down from above Rakia.
Still, the dissolute fallen angels were wasting their life spans of eternity in their idleness.
"Heh, useless things."
Kariel turned his attention to Rakia after requesting support from the giant corps leader Girshin, but was rejected.
Fallen angels are also angels, so there is no reason not to obey Ankera's message, but he was confident that one person would be an exception.
Ikasa, the angel of desire.
A fallen angel who captured Amy's group and offered them to the Buddha during the incident in Area 73.
At that time, Ikasa wanted to be reinstated as a normal angel for bringing three virgins to Kariel, but as Shirone left for the original world, he was punished more severely.
That's why, while countless fallen angels were killing time in vain, she alone was circling endlessly in an infinite orbit 300 meters underground, tied to a giant iron ball.
"ha. ha."
An iron ball with a diameter of 20 meters rumbled through the grooves and rolled at terrifying speed.
In the afterimage of the rotation, Ikasa's sorrowful face with her eyes covered and her mouth plugged passed by.
Kariel admired the trajectory of the iron ball until it turned around once, then reached out his hand toward the iron ball returning.
The asteroid flashed and unfolded into a ring, and the iron orb, which was pushing like a giant wall, came to a halt with a bang.
"Huh, huh."
Tied to an iron ball with her back bent like a bow, Ikasa let out a painful groan as she sighed.
As Kariel cut off the skin covering her eyes, Ikasa lifted her eyelids tiredly and burst into tears.
"Hey hey… … . Hwahui… … ."
finally came
The archangel Kariel, whom everyone believed would know even if they turned away, had arrived.
"Ikasa, there is something you must do."
Ikasa nodded her head.
"Shirone is back. Maybe it will be fun for you."
"Hey! Hehehe!"
An exclamation of hatred erupted from Ikasa's throat.
Kariel nodded in satisfaction and dismantled the things that bound her.
Ikasa, who was sitting on the floor, did not even have time to take care of herself, raising her head and being polite.
"Please use me, Archangel of Birth."
"Kill Shirone. as painfully as possible. Bring his grievous face in front of me. Because there is an angel that I must show you."
"That is my joy. However, as a lowly person, I have no way of knowing where the abominable Shirone is."
Kariel opened the Great Law and checked the status of the central processing unit of Jebul.
The map representing the entirety of Purgatory was being engulfed in red light. In proportion to the area, it was a tremendous speed.
"Babel is searching the skies above purgatory. You should be able to search all coordinates until the day of the full moon. When that time comes, your chance will come."
Ikasa's eyes flashed.
Come to think of it, the day of the full moon was approaching.
The time when the law of the negative season is at its strongest in purgatory. It was also a time when she, her fallen angel, could become the most powerful.
'Wait, Shirone.'
Ikasa's eyes were filled with the desire for revenge.
* * *
Around midnight, Fleur's door opened.
She was Jonah, so there was no need to show her face.
Confirming that there was no one in the hallway, she closed the door with a nimble motion and entered the depths of the headquarters.
If searching is the main thing, one is better than two, and the risk of getting caught is reduced.
Now was the right time for Shirone to be dispatched as a subordinate unit of the 2nd Command to unite the rebels.
'No matter how you think about it, it's suspicious. What are they doing?'
Flew, who was moving along the wall, turned a corner and hurriedly turned around.
At the end of the corridor, two sentries were walking and talking.
"Hey, sleepy. don't they sleep What are you going to eat at this hour?"
"Geuk, eat as much as you want. It's livestock anyway."
The sentry suddenly stopped walking around the corner with a plate full of food.
a colleague asked.
"What, why?"
"No, I think something moved over there."
The sentry passed the tray to his colleague and walked to the shadow cast on the wall.
There was nothing suspicious about it.
"weird. I must have dreamed of something."
"You must have mistook it for a torch."
"Oh, is that so?"
The flue that came down from the ceiling landed where the sentries had passed. Then a drone flew in silently and clung to his shoulder.
'Phew, it's surprisingly difficult to control. You almost got caught, right?'
But thanks to that, I was able to overhear the sentry's words.
'Are you giving me food at this time? to whom?'
Fleur followed them.
When the sentry reached the wall and touched the torch hanger, the wall opened and a secret stairway appeared.
After waiting about a minute, Flew opened the wall and went down the stairs in the same way they did.
The space was much larger than expected. Corridors connected in all directions, and there were dozens of laboratories alone.
'What about the sentries?'
When an algorithm was applied to collect sounds by maximizing the spirit zone, their voices came through.
"You eat well like a pig. Well, where else could there be a life as happy as yours? i envy you."
"Heuk, if you're envious, you can go in too."
The voice stopped for a moment.
"Shit, I hate this because it's embarrassing. Are you literally cattle?"
As the sentries left, Fleur, who had been peeking from afar, approached the iron gate.
It was a structure that could only be opened from the outside.
'Because what the hell is here?'
Flew's eyebrows twisted as he put his ear to the iron door and listened.
She suddenly felt that she shouldn't check inside, but in the end she opened Pandora's box.
"This, this… … !"
Flew's eyes were shocked as he peered through the cracks in the unlocked iron door.
