It is just that the part of it being giant gets to them. The range of its sense of searching is incredibly wide for it to be able to detect something 20km away.
“How many are there?”
[There’s one. It’s appearance is being drawn through sonar detection.]
Uranos draws out what it looks like through a 3D video.
It looks strange. Like a mix of an octopus and jellyfish.
“It’s a Penomina.”
“Ah! I’ve heard the name before. What is it like?”
Sea General saw it being drawn out and spoke for Uranos.
Level 7 Penomina.
They live in the deep sea, so finding them is like finding a pin in a haystack.
Penomina is like that just as underwater mutants generally are.
“I won’t need to explain what it looks like. Its method of attack is its hundreds of tentacles that have a powerful poison on them. And there’s something disgusting inside of those tentacles. I guess they can be called something like mouths.”
Cha Jun Sung entered a level B mission.
It’s not a mission aimed for completion. They just picked it to have a mission in the Pacific Ocean.
That’s why they are ignoring it and out at sea, but the Penomina had appeared.
“And it’s strong.”
[Level B special mission Sea Watchman has been applied.]
As soon as Sea General’s notice ended, the special mission was applied.
Advancement, 50 million points.
It wouldn’t be applied as a sub-concept if the standard were lower than a level B mission, but the mission was applied because it is high.
The 1000 Lifers who boarded Albatrus found this out.
Even the Rankers who had been yawning, opened their eyes with the appearance of powerful mutants. They have become level A Lifers, but it is an opponent that they could or could not take on while on land. That means there’s a higher chance that they will lose while fighting in water.
It had been boring for the past few weeks because there had only been trivial ones, but wouldn’t something like that be able to show them what Albatrus can do?
“Let’s try using the spiral swill artillery.”
“We can’t.”
Nuclear wants to use the spiral swill.
Strategist turned him down right away. It is Albatrus’ top weapon, eating up an incredible amount of energy. It takes a long time and is complicated. They can’t use it on a mere level 7.
[I see it. Should we attack?]
“Wait a moment. Watch it so we can record it.”
Not much is known about high level underwater mutants. It’s good to get an idea of them while they have a chance. It’ll make attacking easier if they encounter them again.
Kyak!
The Penomina’s dull figure appeared in the front screen mirror image and suddenly went near Albatrus.
Penomina watched the enemy that invaded its area rather than attacking.
Its tentacles wave gently and allow it to move here and there.
It easily moved 100m every time it waved them.
“It’s huge.”
“It looks like it’s twice the size of Metal Giant.”
It looks meager because of its long tentacles.
Its real body is a fourth of that?
About 70m is the tentacles.
But it’s still a level 7 and the intimidation it gives off from pure size is at the top of the underwater mutants they have seen until now.
Penomina watches the Albatrus and creates distance.
950m.
There is a 10 times difference from what can be seen by the naked eye through just comparison.
It isn’t strong just because it’s big, but mutants are sensitive with sight.
It is the fear of an intruder.
“Uranos, try challenging it a little.”
[Hydraulic gun loaded. Launch.]
Boom boom boom boom!
Dozens of hydraulic guns that are always opened, attack Penomina.
It is 30% power.
They adjusted it weakly in order to watch its behavior.
The Penomina avoids all of the hydraulic guns. Then it created more distance.
It sees it as a danger.
“What if it runs away?”
“It might.”
[The distance has now reached 800m. If you want to fire the hydraulic guns, we have to raise the output to 70%. I recommend killing it with the maximum output.]
Hydraulic guns have short range.
Even when output is up to 100%, it can only reach a couple kilometers. Hydraulic impact guns go farther, and spiral swills even farther.
“It won’t come near.”
“From his perspective, the Albatrus will probably look like a higher predator. It just has no life.”
It’s similar.
Albatrus is a machine. It doesn’t have the energy of a living being.
