Boom boom boom!
Tens of thousands of Bomb Ants collided with mutants coming at them from the front.
There is a vibration from the strong explosions resulting from their self-destruction.
The Bomb Ants prevailed.
The Queen Bomb Ant is attacking a mid-size city with 30,000 Bomb Ants.
“Are you saying you’ll try it on your own?”
Cha Jun Sung is watching the Bomb Ants’ battle from a high place.
Queen Bomb Ant planned to expand her own power without Cha Jun Sung’s help.
Cha Jun Sung didn’t stop her. He knows that they will fail.
Mutants just pushed through in the beginning, but they later felt the Bomb Ants’ abilities and formed an alliance.
The only difference is whether there are a lot or few. There isn’t a difference from when they had been in the mountain. As the Bomb Ants wanted to become stronger and take over a larger territory, the mutants they need to fight became stronger as well.
Queen Bomb Ant brandished her sharp mouth and arms and legs, and showed the abilities of a top level 6. She had normally been just a high level 6.
Cutting, ripping, biting. Mutant fighting is cruel.
They become distinct from the fight with Lifers who attack with firearms, in that they are primitive.
Blood spurts.
It feels like he is looking at the Path of Blood that Odelia created. Blood and corpses are everywhere. Tens of thousands of mutants are in a melee in the middle of that.
“How fun.”
Living as a mutant is a novel experience.
There’s something different from living as a Lifer. It feels like he switched his character while playing a game.
The worldview inside the mission is the same, but it is interesting.
Cha Jun Sung as a human had been normal.
He knew how to express reluctance toward the bad.
Those feelings slowly disappeared as a mutant however, and he even has fun watching such cruel scenes now.
Cha Jun Sung didn’t take his state too seriously. He has accepted that he is a mutant. He just thinks like a human.
He wants to go in.
He wants to go in and rip everything apart. All of them are low compared to him.
Thump thump.
“Ack! It’s doing it again.”
Cha Jun Sung grabs his chest.
While maintaining his state as a mutant, his heart occasionally began to beat too fast. It isn’t just beating.
A subtle and inexplicable feeling comes over him whenever this happens.
It isn’t bad.
Can he call it excitement?
He felt better similar to that. He was cautious about it because it is unintentional and he cannot control it.
The manifestation of his instincts had been minimal when inside his battlesuit in human form because he suppressed himself, but not now.
It is on complete display.
The impulse to go wild is on fire. But he didn’t go crazy as he had done when he had been taken over by the Oriax.
He has perceptible reason.
His head still hurts when he thinks about that time.
It is an extremely unpleasant thing to lose oneself.
[Lifer Cha Jun Sung.]
“Yeah.”
[An 800 to 900 person raid of Lifers has been summoned to the city outskirts. It seems a mission has been configured nearby.]
Lifers came in and out of the extensive territory that the three Universe Eyes are searching, and it seems this place has been chosen.
He ignored it before because they had been far away.
But it becomes a different story if a mid-size city where Bomb Ants and mutants are fighting has an effect on Lifers’ missions.
[What do you think about having the Bomb Ants retreat?]
If the mission is to kill the Bomb Ants, they will fail. He doesn’t care about the ordinary Bomb Ants, but he can’t leave the Queen Bomb Ant.
“Leave it for now.”
[The Lifers’ power is weak, but the mutants are gathered together. It will be fatal if they use a genocidal weapon.]
“We need to teach that bitch a lesson.”
Cha Jun Sung looks at the Queen Bomb Ant and laughs.
He is sure.
If she evolves to level 7, she will attack him. There is a need to show her his importance before that.
***
Bang bang bang!
Odin’s prediction was right.
The Lifers didn’t assault the place where tens of thousands of mutants were scattered, and instead rained down genocidal weapons like white phosphorous shells.
With the long lasting Life Mission, Lifers’ point accumulation naturally increased. It isn’t hard to throw in a few.
Mutants below level 5 disappeared without even a scream under the bombs.
Cha Jun Sung focused only on the Queen Bomb Ant.
Odin calculated the orbit of bombs in real time and predicted release areas.
“I only need to keep the Queen alive.”
She’s a top level 6.
