“… . . This isn’t it . ”
Cha Jun Sung sits on the ground with a devastated expression . He looked down at his hands and kept saying ‘This isn’t it’ .
“I ate a mutant with my mouth . And thought it tasted good! I can’t control it! Does this make sense? I’m not an animal, but I ate a mutant with my mouth!”
He can accept taking in the mutant through touch, as he has removed the mask of a human ever since the Oriax took him on as a host .
“Is my mind becoming that of a mutant too? Have I lost myself?”
That is the only way to explain it . He thought that he might have the mask of a mutant, but that his core is human . He was wrong . Both his mind and body have become mutant .
If he keeps going like this, he might deny his nature and forget the fact that he was once human . That cannot happen . He cannot lose his mind as a human .
He needs to maintain it if he wants to return to reality . If he loses his mind, he might start to hope to stay in this place . Reality is the world of the hunters .
“Let’s just hold out for a few days . ”
There is nothing he can do alone . Once the Oriax wakes up, he needs to find a way to send it out of his body . He ripped flesh and sucked blood within a day of coming back to his senses . It looks like he will not be able to last until he gets to Czechoslovakia .
Cha Jun Sung let out a sigh dejectedly and gets moving . However it happened, most of his health has returned since he ate the Devil Saurus .
He does not want to go blindly just because he cannot decide on a direction to go, so he will look around the area for things that he needs .
***
This is around when Cha Jun Sung arrives in Czechoslovakia . While he was going to Czechoslovakia, Medusa was going back to England with Beholder, who had become a nucleus . Titan and Kimeira had put their strength together to take over Blood Lord, and have dragged him with them . It had been possible because of Titan .
“Black smoke?”
“Yeah . Black smoke came out of his mouth . It was a good thing Beholder was there . If I had been alone, I would have lost . I’m pretty sure not even you would have been guaranteed to beat him either . ”
Inferno is strong . He is surely the best of all of the nightmares in Europe .
Even in Asia, only Red Eye can take him on . There may not be more than 5 mutants that could take him on in all 6 continents .
But the black devil they met this time had been really strong . It felt like they had seen the Black Demon that they had only ever heard about . Though this does not mean that is really what happened .
No matter how strong a nightmare level mutant is, they cannot be compared to disasters .
“Black smoke, you say… . . ”
“Can you think of something?”
“No . ”
“Don’t you think he might be Black Demon’s offspring? I didn’t think so at first either, but his characteristics, appearance, and combat style are too similar to what I’ve heard . ”
“Forget it . I’ll report this to her Majesty . Take good care of Beholder . ”
Inferno cut Medusa off . There is no way he is Black Demon, and he cannot be an offspring either . How can he be sure? It is a situation in which he can be certain .
“Your Majesty! It’s Inferno . ”
“Come in . ”
A fine voice comes from the office . Inferno opens the door and bows his head as soon as he enters .
It is out of respect, but also because of Medusa’s failure in the mission .
“So you failed . ”
“I’m sorry . I should have gone myself . He is said to be too strong to capture with Medusa and Beholder’s power . ”
“It is already a failure . I will hear the report properly . Lift your head . ”
Inferno lifts his head . He can see the empress .
A monotonously white figure – hair, eyes, skin – looks at Inferno . She looks like a doll with eyes .
A being that spills white blood . It is Europe’s White Queen, Lobelira .
Though she has become a mutant, she is the last remaining princess of the British royal lineage . There are very few who know this .
This including both mutants and humans . Because of that, Lifers who played the virtual version only know the name White Queen and do not really know who she is .
“So… . . ”
Inferno reported everything he heard from Medusa .
The White Queen had an interested expression until her white eyes became round at mention of black smoke . She is surprised . The unidentified man sitting in front of her also showed a strange reaction .
“Black smoke? Was it really black smoke? And the characteristics were as you say?”
“Ye – yes . ”
The man smirks gleefully . Inferno wanted to ask the meaning of this smile, but did not . He does not get a voice .
“Leave . I’ll call you separately . ”
“Yes!”
Inferno leaves the office . White Queen drank the cooling tea . Hot tea is good, but cooled tea is not bad either .
“He will have wanted to ask if it was you yourself or your child . ”
“I’ll answer . If it had been me, I wouldn’t have let Medusa and Beholder live . And my only child is Red Eye, so he has nothing to do with me . ”
The man crosses his arms and watches White Queen with an arrogant expression .
There is no hesitation in looking at a disaster . His eyes, which look like black beads, look like they are ready to turn heaven and earth over .
He is Black Demon Aduroque, the strongest mutant in existence .
‘Is it an awakening? Is that possible? He’ll have to take a different path from me . I can only think that the future has been twisted by passing off the notebook . ’
Cha Jun Sung, stuck in the middle, has no fate with mutants . He needed to have pioneered a new path for the future through the notebook as a medium . That is why it was delivered to him . It was so he would not take the same path .
‘So it works out like this, too . Interesting . Then are there 2 of me in one era?’
It is just a guess but from the way Black Demon sees it, Cha Jun Sung has not been completely awakened yet . He can tell just from the way Cha Jun Sung struggled against Medusa and Beholder .
Black Demon is also stronger now than he was during his initial awakening, but there was not such a big difference . He had already transcended perfection from the moment he was awakened .
He would have been able to slay them unilaterally with just 50% of his strength .
“What are you thinking?”
“I thought about he who is similar to me . I’m gaining curiosity . ”
Black Demon did not hide his thoughts . Currently, no one knows that they are connected through a complex relationship . As long as he does not tell anyone .
“More than that, have you decided? I’ll form an alliance with you if you accept my condition . ”
“The handicap is too big . If you change your mind after I accept, everything loses ground . 6 disasters would become 5 . ”
“You want to drag me into the battlefield . Put everything on the line . Once it starts, there’s no end . Make me believe you . ”
White Queen proposed an alliance . It does not matter either way for Black Demon, but the recent movements of North and South Africa are suspicious .
Evil Queen in particular – he does not know what she was like when she was human, but she surpasses ambition and is vain . He would just laugh her off as garbage if she was not able, but unfortunately she is one of the disasters . She is a ticking time bomb .
Evil Queen is after Asia . She does not want to take the land .
As was said before, she is vain . Her goal is to have the world under feet, to be treated as a queen . He has confidence if it is a one-on-one fight . It is just that if South America’s skull joins, it becomes a situation where he cannot be 100% sure to win .
