Chapter 145 (1/2)
[Lifer Cha Jun Sung! If you cannot come back to being a human being, you will become the subject of the mission. The upper levels are thinking about creating a level B mission with you at the center through the PDA. Regain your sanity! It is not too late!]
A Lifer who becomes a mutant and is forced to fight other Lifers. It is material that could be used in a third-rate movie. It is level B if he stays like this, but level A if he evolves into level 8. The purpose of Life Mission is mutant obliteration.
They need to kill as many mutants as they can, but it would be him bringing a powerful mutant to life.
[It’s a relief. The brain hasn’t been completely encroached. It’s a possible phenomenon because it’s an Oriax that is keeping its host alive.]
If it had been a mutant that fed off of the brain like a parasite, there could be absolutely no expectations. The species’ parasitic method is entirely different in the first place.
[Cha Jun Sung! The Life Mission you played has been virtualized and is not virtual! How could Overload, who caught Evil Queen, be brought down by just a level 7! Show the pride that took you to the top!]
Odin’s voice flows into Cha Jun Sung’s ears. He will have heard it if he is still sane. If he heard it, he needs to fight to go back.
Bang bang!
The Elder had been laying down as if it were dead, and launched a thorn at Cha Jun Sung. It is a simple attack. Even if he gets hit, he can just use his incredible stamina to recover.
The thorn gets stuck in Cha Jun Sung’s shoulder. It is so thick that his arm gets cut. The headache has gone down, but he had not been able to avoid it because the host is not reacting.
The Elder is out of strength and dies as its body flops down. It is the same for the Oriax wearing Cha Jun Sung as a mask to find it difficult to do 2 things at the same time.
The Oriax’s attention is divided into subduing the host’s rebellion and into recovering the arm. In that gap, Cha Jun Sung’s weak subconscious woke up.
“Get… out… of… my body!”
Kung!
A human’s yell and mutant’s roar explode from the same body. The Oriax is taken aback. The host it has absorbed has regained consciousness?
Impossible. It cannot be possible if it follows the method that its mother showed it. The host needs to be stronger than the Oriax for this to be possible. But it does not consider this scenario. The host is just a human.
He is fairly strong, but not strong enough to reverse the current situation.
Boom boom boom!
Cha Jun Sung’s body swells up again. He is almost as large as a 2-story building.
His form is that of a human’s, but he looks terrifying with 4 horns pointing to the sky and a twisted face of a demon in hell.
He still has 9 eyes. Thick snake-like veins come out through his skin and writhe.
A clear form, which is not normal for the Oriax that can change its body freely. The image is reminiscent of Red Eye from Infected Tree.
This human is weird. The body has escaped control and is changing on its own. It does not listen as though mutating into a special body.
It had a strange feeling since the first time it saw Cha Jun Sung. A group of 100 humans had given off a seductive scent that it could not resist. It had seen a few good potential hosts.
They all fell short to Cha Jun Sung. It had learned that humans are not candidates for hosts, but it had gone at him without being able to resist. And then it had been surprised.
With rapid development, it had taken less than 1 hour to gain the power that its mother had boasted. It usually takes at least 5 days to stabilize, but it had been shortened by a lot.
‘Potential power.’
The Oriax borrows Cha Jun Sung’s knowledge to analyze the phenomenon. Human Cha Jun Sung’s potential power is being revealed through external interference.
To borrow human terms, it is a level 7. It is one of the top predators with its endless strength. But a potential power that can surpass that top predator. Could he be a level 8 or 9 mutant?
The Oriax cannot know that its prediction is precise. If Cha Jun Sung had been infected with A virus and had gone through development properly, he would have become a level 9. That is when he is normal. Right now? It is abnormal.
His potential power has not been exerted 100%. That is why the Oriax is holding on. It is a suicide mission for a level 7 to try and swallow a level 9.
‘I can’t quit.’
Evolution. Evolution is survival for mutants. It is a world with law of the jungle. The stronger one gets, the better it is able to protect itself against enemies.
It can become a level 8.
It can become a level 9.
It will do whatever it takes to absorb Cha Jun Sung and gain his potential power. It will become even more powerful to become a genuine predator that nothing can take on.
Ahh!
The Oriax released control of the body.
Instead, it put all of its strength into overpowering Cha Jun Sung’s mental consciousness. It could lose 2 rabbits by trying to catch both. It will take care of one first.
[Level 8…… It is the Oriax’s fault, but if level 8 is possible with just an indirect injection of the A virus, does that mean he is capable of reaching level 9?]
Odin spews airtight secrets that must never be leaked.
It does not matter. There is no one listening. Cha Jun Sung is not paying attention because he is busy fighting the Oriax over control of his body.
Cha Jun Sung’s body tries to move. He will destroy everything he sees now that the control has been loosened. Nothing can block him either.
Level 8. The only level 8 within a radius of hundreds of kilometers is the Blood Lord. That Blood Lord left to conquer the north. This is Cha Jun Sung’s world.
[Release of block on return! Helpers in charge of Lifers who have entered Public Underground, please quickly send your Lifers back to reality!]
Odin sent a warning signal to the 99 Lifers’ helpers. The Lifers need to be sent back before Cha Jun Sung goes outside and discovers them. There are a lot of important people here. They need to avoid a massacre.
