A smooth and slick outstretched caudal fin lightly strikes the walls of the underwater cave. The entire cave shakes.

Clear, bumpy muscles wave and follow movement.

A huge form glares and focuses on smell of the sensory organs. A vague and subtle smell bothers him.

It is the smell of blood.

It was pretty familiar, too.

It seems like it is coming from far away, but a lot of blood must have been lost if it flowed all the way down to here.

Smelling it over and over again, it can guess what kind of creature it is.

It is similar to the turtles acting as the king in its corner of the sea. They are lower subjects, but they swarm together annoyingly!

It lets them live however, because they provide ample nutrients.

Are they fighting over territory or something?

It looked to the side.

A female similar to itself in size and her baby, a fourth of her size, are looking at each other.

The female smelled it. It is a being on the same level in the first place.

‘Will you go?’

‘No.’

The female wants to know what is going on out of curiosity, but she cannot leave the baby and go. Taking the baby is even worse.

Before, she would have gone alone but she does not want to now. They were born recently, so she felt what death is for the first time.

If they are the ones ruling this area, those animals are the ones that rule the entire ocean. They might still be wandering this area. What that one said is still in his mind.

‘I’ll let you live because of the baby.’

It had been sincere.

If it hadn’t been for the baby, it would have killed her. She won’t go outside if she doesn’t need to because they could run into each other again.

The male must have recalled the memory of that time, because it left the smell and just decided to keep sleeping. Thinking of the one that is more than twice as large as they are combined, it is easy to stop being curious.

“The damage?”

[A submersible and 95 advanced have been destroyed, but they can be recovered.]

Strategist made a sound of pain when Uranos told him about the damages.

⅓ have been destroyed.

Almost 100 Lifers have been killed or injured as well. It would have been worse if Cha Jun Sung hadn’t been able to kill the Turtle Captains on time.

“So these are the kinds of issues we get from choosing the default Albatrus.”

The lowest armed status.

If they had followed the level S drawings, they could have armed it more heavily by 5 times. There is a lot of other technology too.

The armor is close to level S, but other functions – offensive power in particular – are level A. That is why the balance is tilting to one side.

If the Albatrus had been a complete level S battle weapon, it would have been able to kill the Turtle Babies without the help of Lifers and submersibles.

‘We need to advance Overload no matter what. For him and for us.’

If that happens, they can purchase more of the materials they need for Albatrus.

The level S energy core is priority.

With items like hydraulic guns and hydraulic impact guns, they need to increase the fire power and destructive power in the Albatrus’ energy. All circumstances are in Strategist’s mind.

Bang bang bang!

There is still a battle going on outside.

The smell of blood is that of more than what would be in hundreds of trucks. Albatrus’ porthole didn’t close. The submersibles didn’t go back either.
