Chapter 238 (2/2)
Big mistakes usually come from small mistakes. There are things that one can ignore, but he takes care of everything, whatever it is, because he does not want to let errors pass that could create bigger issues later.
Odin’s artificial intelligence goes into the Universe Eye of the destroyed Hundred Eye. It can no longer be called a simple equipment geared for searching. He is now able to use more of the micro features due to the observer mode. He left enough abilities in the PDA not to interfere with the mission.
He needs to find out who destroyed it.
A Lifer who advanced all the way to pioneer level in the virtual version will know what the Universe Eye is.
Helpers are artificial intelligence, not humans.
That is why they do not have biases. They leave open all possibilities. The only difference is whether the probability is large or small.
It could be an ordinary Lifer, but there is a high possibility that it is Tyrant who has entered the Black Devil mission. Odin knows where Tyrant’s initial summons area is.
Helpers communicate with each other.
That communication isn’t constant. It continues roughly for a month or so and then gets cut off. So with time, not even helpers know each other’s locations.
Gabenu will know.
He doesn’t get involved directly. This is what Jigneon wanted. He created this situation in order to clean up the mess Borteth has made, but he only gets involved up until Cha Jun Sung enters the mission.
Zing!
Odin called in the subsets of the Universe Eye he is controlling with his authority.
Since he is managing them himself, searching becomes more thorough.
If it is Tyrant, he will have guessed that it is Cha Jun Sung’s equipment. He must know since it is a level S store item.
He would never guess that Cha Jun Sung knows of his identity.
It was impossible to know that the one who destroyed the Hundred Eye out of countless Lifers, is Tyrant. If they throw bait, he will probably take it right away.
[Lifer Cha Jun Sung, we’ll have to get ready.]
They need a battlefield for Cha Jun Sung. They will create a scene for their unwelcome guests.
***
Odin gave all of the information he acquired to Cha Jun Sung. Helpers are in tandem with the Lifers they are assigned to.
They have the obligation to grow their Lifers in the midst of top level missions. This is a partnership that the supervisors created in order to have a little more balance. Odin needs to help Cha Jun Sung with whatever he needs as long as it does not break the rules, so he just needs to tell Cha Jun Sung everything he saw and thought.
“Pick ones with wings.”
Cha Jun Sung orders the Queen.
He needs a lot of flying Bomb Ants. The ones on ground become useless if Lifers change their battlesuits to flight mode. They might as well be sandbags. They are not completely useless, but there is a lot lacking in using them as their main means of attack. They desperately need something to cover this.
He can know just from watching the last battle.
They can suffer damages in a battle with mutants, but they were devastated by raid level Lifers.
Queen Bomb Ant understood what Cha Jun Sung meant. She must have felt something too because she didn’t argue with him.
Flying Bomb Ants are born at a rate of 1/100 of that of ordinary Bomb Ants.
If the Queen Bomb Ant takes the sacrifice, she can control the probability. It is consuming stamina and nutrients. In the aftermath of the battle, the number of Bomb Ants was reduced to 20,000. They have gone to less than half, since they were 50,000 before.
Cha Jun Sung decided to maintain the current number of ordinary Bomb Ants and to fill up the rest with flying Bomb Ants if they could. They made about 200 per day.
Queen Bomb Ant complained because it was tiring, but he had no intention of considering her comfort. Tyrant could come barging in at any moment.
As long as Cha Jun Sung didn’t hide and the size of the land they were on was limited, they would come face-to-face at some point and that time was approaching.
“We need at least 5000. The more, the better.”
There are 10,000 people.
They will all be levels B and C, the elite of Rage guild. In mutant terms, they will be levels 5 and 6, and Tyrant will be a level 8.
It’s a virtually impossible power.
He needs to be smart about it if he is to face off against a power like that. Of course Cha Jun Sung thought of an operation that could work.
It is a very basic and primitive operation.
First, he needs to strike powerfully when they don’t know anything in order to have a chance of winning.
He is doing that work in advance right now in a nearby city.
That place will become Cha Jun Sung and Tyrant’s battlefield. They won’t go elsewhere. They need to do it whether he lures them there or something.
[A Hundred Eye was just destroyed. This is the 4th one.]
“He’ll think he’s luring me to him, right?”
[He could be.]
When Odin couldn’t find Tyrant’s exact location, he cleverly exposed the Hundred Eyes to find an approximate area.
To predict Tyrant’s thoughts, he could be destroying Hundred Eyes to make Cha Jun Sung suspicious and to come looking for him.
Both sides are baiting the other.
In this, Cha Jun Sung has an advantage because he knows the other’s identity. He isn’t sure. It’s just what he thinks.
“Ant Hell.”
Operation name Ant Hell.
He will bring them all in and squeeze them to death.
