Chapter 278 (2/2)

The white maned unicorn is more than three times the size of a normal horse. There’s a horn bigger than a human arm on its head. Intimidating power. It looked more like a god than an animal.

The cyborg and unicorn are at least 500 meters away from each other, but the unicorn sees the cyborg and looks in its direction.

“What kind of eye…”

Red flames burned in its eyes.

It’s big but its general form is beautiful, but that thought changed as soon as he saw its eyes.

Thunderbolts fly out of the horn on the unicorn’s head. It closed that 500 meter distance within moments, and the thunderbolts swallowed the cyborg whole.

Bang!

One hit.

The cyborg evaporated with just one hit.

The thunderbolts coming from the unicorn were reminiscent of natural lightning.

“Do you still think it’s an animal?”

“…”

“Blue Paradise is full of animals like that unicorn. They’re spread out everywhere. Red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, violet. There are various species living in each of the 7 zones named after the colors of the rainbow. There are differences in strength but in mutant terms, they are levels 7 and 8 on average and even some level 9s. That unicorn is about level 8.”

Honestly, Cha Jun Sung thought that one of the big reasons was that the cyborg didn’t take the first hit. He thought that it might have been able to kill the unicorn if it had attacked first.

It is a delusion.

A level 8 would have avoided or blocked it somehow. To think that animals like that are everywhere. What kind of planet is this?

“We might be able to kill the animals if we use weapons of mass destruction, but it’ll also become that much more desolate. There are so many of them that it would become an all-out war, too.”

They had discovered a planet similar to Earth after a very long search. They cannot ruin it. They need to preserve it in its natural form if they can.

“We tried landing a few times, but what do you think happened?”

“What happened?”

“Though they are superior beings, they are animals and have a clear standard of territory. They did not tolerate invasion. This ship was also destroyed. We ran away and got out of there.”

“The reason you created Life Mission?”

“We don’t want to fight with these animals. We just want to live among them. All we have is a population of 1 million. Blue Paradise is 10 times the size of Earth, so it won’t reach Earth’s population of billions even after hundreds of years.”

It can be small.

They could settle down and live there if they were guaranteed territory, but the animals found them wherever they landed and attacked.

It seems they don’t have a concept of coexistence. They just banish outsiders.

“So what could we do? I feel sorry to them, but we need to get land by force if we need to. If we continue like this, we’ll never be able to get off this ship.”

An army is needed for war. An army that can fight the animals.

That’s why they created Life Mission. Lifers and mutants with power like the animals, who don’t have to depend on weapons.

“We’re going to create a mutant army with Life Mission’s information and genes. There is risk of infection or evolution, so we’ll have to adjust the numbers.”

They aren’t going to inject a lot at once, but add it little by little. Even this might take several or even dozens of years, but they it’s okay. It had been more difficult getting here. They just have to get over this last obstacle.

“What do you think? We’ve been saying it’s a secret, but it isn’t much, right?”

Ultimately, Jigneon’s group had planned Life MIssion because they lacked the strength to go up against Blue Paradise’s animals without destroying the planet.

It is impressive in some ways, but it really isn’t much like Jigneon said.

Cha Jun Sung found comfort in the fact that his questions had been answered.

“But your wish. Will you really be satisfied with that?”

“Life Mission will be repeated in the same way even if I go back to the past, and there’s no guarantee that situation will be better. I’m satisfied with that.”

Jigneon nodded and said that he would take measures immediately.

Cha Jun Sung thought hard about something and asked with a dubious expression,

“Could you… put my body back to normal?”

“Your body? Does that mean you want to become human?”

“That’s not exactly it, but I want to know if it’s possible.”

“It’s impossible.”

The response came from someone unexpected.

Borteth.

“Impossible?”

“Yeah. Your genetic composition has been completely changed. A solution might come out if we do years of research, but if we have to say whether it is possible or impossible right now, it is impossible.”

Jigneon took a step back to Borteth in the mutant aspects.

What he says goes. Cha Jun Sung cannot become human.

Cha Jun Sung did not have lingering desire. It is bothersome to cling to something that is impossible.

“I’ll go back.”

“You can stay here until Life Mission is over.”

“I have a lot to do. I need to see my friends, and I have to see my other self. It would be a waste of precious time to stay here.”

Park Jin Hyuk’s group thinks that Cha Jun Sung is dead.

Violet saw him being ripped apart. He needs to explain it to them.

“Do you mean Black Lord?”

“I might never be able to see him again, but I’d like to at least see his face one more time.”

“Alright.”

Jigneon said that he would open the gate for him. There are no longer restrictions on his entry. He can go in and out as he pleases.

‘The end?’

Life Mission, which he had thought would go on forever, was ending.

What will he do now?

Will he be able to live a normal life with the body of a mutant?
