Chapter 146 (2/2)
There is a means of contact among mutants. Though humans’ technology was lost with the downfall of science, they maintained living conditions for useful humans and even received a little help.
“It must have woken up not too long ago, because it’s going around smashing everything it comes across.”
In reality, they really do not know how long it has been since the mutant woke up. Generally, ultra high level mutants beyond level 7 have a tendency to make a fuss for a few months after initial awakening.
“Italy…..”
“Hee hee! Medusa, it’s your area.”
A bald man with no nose, ears, or mouth and just a big eyeball, asks a young woman with a lot of snakes on top of her head.
They look like they are just sitting on her head at a glance, but they are her hair. Each one is alive and are her treasures as they each have deadly poison.
Medusa. She is a level 8 mutant ruling southern Europe, areas like Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece.
It is under her jurisdiction because an unidentified mutant is creating chaos in Italy.
“Catch it and bring it to me.”
“Alone?”
Medusa frowned at the leader’s words. If it is to the point for him to gather everyone together to say this, it must be a mutant at their level that has completed evolution. Capture and not killing. Does he not know how difficult it is to repress an opponent? There needs to be additional help for this.
“Go with Beholder.”
“Hee hee! Going with Medusa? That makes me happy.”
“Ugh!”
Beholder, the bald man, drools. Medusa is uncomfortable and looks away.
“Can’t I go with someone else?”
Medusa looks at a giant that has been silent in a corner seat. It only listens with its arms crossed. It has a reticent personality. It does not get involved unless it is necessary.
“Titan needs to go north.”
“Hedgehog is still alive?”
“Its army is impressive. It came fully prepared. Kimeira is struggling.”
Expressed as a struggle, it is actually a siege of pushing and pulling between matched powers. The Hedgehog they are discussing is the Blood Lord.
It is determined because of a loss in the past and has come back stronger, with more power.
“They’ll be dead if Titan is going.”
“We’re not killing it, but bringing it back. Just like the new guy you need to capture.”
“Huh?”
“It’s what the Empress desires. There needs to be a reinforcement of power to widen her influence.”
“Because of Asia?”
“That’s only a part of it. It’s because of Asia like you said, and Africa.”
Asia’s Red Eye recruited a new face. Black Horse is not interested in battles over zones, but he is different. He is very aggressive and active.
Of the six continents, Asia has the most land and Black Horse is the most powerful of the six Disasters. It is lacking underlings. As long as that aspect is satisfied, everything like individual strength, area, and influence will be complete.
“Africa…..”
“He is an ally, but he isn’t trustworthy. We never know when he’ll betray us.”
Medusa recalled Africa’s Disaster, that she came across a few years ago. It is sneaky and cunning. She gets goosebumps just thinking about it.
“We’re equal with Africa if we capture Hedgehog and Italy’s crazy guy. The Empress has a lot of expectations riding on this. Give it your all.”
“When do we leave?”
“It’s better to get moving since it’s pretty far away. Go immediately.”
Medusa stood up. Beholder smiled as he followed behind her. The 4 of them, 5 including Kimeira in Latvia are equal in level, but the leader, Heat Wave Inferno, is special.
He is a powerful mutant that the Empress personally appointed. He can take on any two of them at the same time.
That is why they follow his orders. There is no reluctance. They can fight and win if they think it is unjust.
“Titan, I’ll leave it to you. Bring Blood Lord to the Empress. It’ll get over its arrogance and yield if it sees a mutant more powerful than itself.”
Blood Lord is just interfering here and there because of its arrogance. If it encounters a true predator, it will surrender because it does not want to die.
“Alright.”
Boom!
Titan also left to complete the assigned mission. Inferno, left behind alone, also thought intently and then disappeared like a ghost.
