“Heard it?”

“Are you looking at the notebook that was passed to you?”

“I looked through it as a reference a long time ago, but I don’t look at it that much now. There hasn’t been a need to look at it since I became like this. I can kill a level 8 now.”

He can break through with overwhelming force if he completes the level B advance mission. On top of that, the opening card will allow him to skip level A to S. If that happens, it will not matter to have the notebook. Even without it, there is no obstacle in his path. It was not that helpful in the first place, only providing keywords.

“From the tone, it seems you’re not the one who gave it to me.”

“No. Why do you think we gave you the notebook? Because we want you to develop with that as a base? That wasn’t our intention. We wanted it to become a turning point.”

“Turning point?”

“A turning point to change your future. The future did change when my son Red Eye went to Infected Tree, but we needed something certain.”

Cha Jun Sung thought carefully. He does not know exactly what this means, but he can understand to a certain point. The biggest turning point had been Underpass.

He had put his faith in previous experience and the keywords mutant and evolution, but he had almost had his body taken away by Oriax and awakened as a mutant. If Black Demon knew his future, it had become a clear turning point since his world had been flipped upside down.

“You know my future?”

“I know your future before you changed. Right now… I don’t know because you’ve changed.”

“You said you heard it, that you’re not the notebook’s owner. Who else is involved in this other than you and your son Red Eye?”

“Oh, I can’t tell you that.”

“Answer this. Is he the link connecting you and me?”

“Yes.”

For Cha Jun Sung, it is difficult for him to even grasp this situation.

He cannot think of this as the future Cha Jun Sung creating an arrangement for him. His range of thought is out of range and has not even gotten there yet.

‘He asked repeatedly.’

When the future Cha Jun Sung told him about Life Mission’s secrets, he had told him not to mention him. But Black Demon’s thoughts are different.

He pushed everything over and left to die. He had brought the situation to this and pushed off the responsibility. He is ill-natured.

It is against duty.

Black Demon won’t tell Cha Jun Sung everything either since he did make a promise. But there needs to be some kind of driving force to move him.

“I’ll tell you the way. Going and getting through are your share. Get to level S as quickly as you can and move your mission area to North America.”

“Why?”

“I can’t tell you who the person is, but I can tell you where he is. He went to North America to kill Evil Queen.”

“Evil Queen…”

“Even if you find Evil Queen before he does, I suggest you don’t approach her until you meet up with him. You can’t win with your ability.”

Black Demon has only fought against the future Cha Jun Sung once. It was to see if someone who has reached the apex of humans would be able to take on a level 9 Disaster.

The conclusion was that he could, but not enough to kill.

If he could kill Evil Queen, he would not have lost his friends. The future Cha Jun Sung has much more experience in battle than the current Cha Jun Sung does.

If he goes up to level S and gets all of his specs in order, his pure power will be similar but lacking beyond that. He cannot fill up experience without facing them.

Black Demon had seen Evil Queen when she came to mate as White Queen had done, and got a look at her power.

The strong and weak are decided relatively to Evil Queen as a standard.

“I’ve never fought with her myself, but the force I felt coming from her was less than mine. She’s about similar to White Queen. Around there.”

It is not a definite for the strong to win. The winner is the strong one. Black Demon himself is confident that he is the strongest but is not arrogant.

But honestly thinking, he is sure that he would win if they fight one-on-one without interference.

Arrogance? No, it is confidence.

“Evil Queen is similar to White Queen? Whew! So it’s a difference of style.”

Cha Jun Sung is oriented for close range combat. If the battlesuit’s full energy is put in the Overmode, its offense power is outstanding but it falls behind in endurance. In that sense, Evil Queen is the best opponent because she falls behind in endurance similarly to Cha Jun Sung, but White Queen is the worst opponent because she is like a steel wall.

He is not so as much as White Queen is, but Cruel King is not fitting either.

“Don’t think that it’ll be easy just because I can beat her. You have to be wary of partial destruction. That’s the level 9 Disaster you guys speak of.”

Cha Jun Sung wanted to ask Black Demon why the person he needs to meet is going looking for Evil Queen and why he is trying to kill her, but he held back.

The biggest reason is that Black Demon won’t tell him even if he asks.

“You’re spending more time acting separately from your party these days, right?”

Cha Jun Sung looked puzzled. Other than the time he spent stuck in the mission, they haven’t spent that much time apart. And this time, he was acting on his own.

“It gets trickier as you advance higher. No matter how well you lead your party, they’re bound to be eliminated if they can’t advance on their own.”

“What is it you want to say?”
