Odin thought that the one at the top had used that method for examination . With his authority, he was plenty capable of creating a situation like this . He is one of the top 3 executives who designed Life Mission after all . Of the 3, he is the one who put his all into getting results from Life Mission, but he did not always gear in a good direction . What occurred in Africa had happened because he pushed hard for it as well .
At the time, the other 2 executives had agreed to go along with it because were not forcing each Lifer, but were completely shaking up a mission system that they had created .
The situation this time is different .
Putting the fact that they were making it impossible for Lifers to return even after completing their missions aside, intervening with Lifers’ items cannot happen .
The Africa incident was a bigger problem in size, but the problem now is bigger in the details . This is a full intervention of the responsible party .
[00:09:21]
9 minutes left .
He needs to decide on his actions now, whether it will be to fight or run away .
“This has nothing to do with you, right?”
[I can promise you . It absolutely does not . ]
“Then tell me what’s happening once this situation is all settled . ”
No matter how much Life Mission has the upper hand and they are at a disadvantage, he has no intention of becoming a puppet .
There is a lot that he must know . If they are going to operate this however they want, it is better to forget Life Mission and live normally in reality .
Beep beep!
Odin heard Cha Jun Sung and quickly skimmed through Life Mission’s clauses . But nowhere could he find any provision applicable to what he said .
It is made so that he cannot confess any secrets regarding Life Mission, the executives, or the helpers . They are absolutely in the advantage .
[Huh?]
Odin’s system stops at one section of clauses .
Wouldn’t this work? It looks like it could work . This is what was written .
If an incident arises in which a Lifer’s unique permission is infringed upon by Life Mission’s arbitrary purposes, he must be compensated with a reasonable recompense .
However, this is only possible if the Lifer launches a formal complaint . A helper cannot make a statement that creates a problem .
This is an adverse clause to Lifers as well . They must make formal complaints .
Helpers cannot confess “It is our fault!’ If they do not know and move past it, the situation becomes buried .
[Does that mean that you are making a complaint against Life Mission right now?]
“Complaint?”
[Will Lifer Cha Jun Sung file an official complaint against Life Mission as it has infringed upon your personal authority? Please state your stance . ]
“Whatever . I’ll do it . It’s a complaint . ”
[The 2nd officer infringed upon Lifer Cha Jun Sung’s rights first . ]
[According to Lifer Compensation Law article 9 clause 26, I will answer your questions regarding the specified provision when this situation is safely settled . ]
Cha Jun Sung was thinking that Odin was being strangely accommodating today, but that was just for a moment .
He needed to be prepared for Narsiel and Vanessa .
“From the way things are going, it looks like they’re trying to instigate fights . Am I crazy to fight not just one, but two? It’s over if I just run . ”
Papat!
Cha Jun Sung released the Overmode and quickly abandoned his position . The Overmode consumes a tremendous amount of energy even when it is sitting inactive . There is no reason for keep it active when the battle is over .
[Where are you planning on going?]
“I don’t have a destination I’ve decided on or anything . I just have to put out the immediate fires first . ”
He needs to get as far from Austin as he can . He is running with his booster on . It says 200km/h on the speedometer that comes up on his hologram . Cha Jun Sung’s battlesuit is on the slow side, but it is the speed of a decent sports car . Objects speed by quickly .
[Narsiel and Vanessa have just arrived where we were . We are getting further away because they are not moving . ]
This is welcome news .
It is a terrible situation that his return route has been blocked . Once he gets away from here, he can take his time to think of solution . The getaway was fine . At this rate, he can get away from Austin without any large complications .
But the 2nd officer is not that accommodating .
Woong!
A 30m diameter gate opened up in the sky . It is the biggest gate Cha Jun Sung has seen since playing Life Mission . A square shaped machine that he did not recognize, showed itself . Even at a glance, it was giving off an unusual vibe .
“What’s that?”
[Goodness! Heavy Gravity! Summoning gear that hasn’t been completed yet!]
While Cha Jun Sung was puzzled and Odin was astonished, a transparent veil appeared at a 50km radius around the machine called Heavy Gravity . Since it had appeared with Cha Jun Sung as the target, he did not make it far before he had to stop . A hazy wall was blocking his way .
[Calculating range… . . Calculation complete . Narsiel and Vanessa are trapped inside as well . It is exactly the distance from here to Austin . ]
“It just looks like a thin membrane . Should I turn on the energy barrier and go through it?”
[You can’t! Heavy Gravity is a gravity field . Not even a fully remodeled battlesuit is guaranteed to withstand it . ]
Cha Jun Sung tried throwing a rock the size of a human head a the barrier .
The rock turned to dust the second it touched the barrier . It was not just crushed .
It really became dust .
The kind of dust that will fly away in the wind .
[It might look like a thin membrane, but that barrier is made of a material that contains 100 times the standard force of gravity . It does not end with one pass . ]
If he tries to get past it, a gravity field could be activated 2 or 3 times, maybe even 4 times in succession . The 2nd officer is throwing everything in . It is machinery that has not been completed yet . They experimented on narrow ranges several times, but they don’t know if it activates in an extensive area . But he even used an incomplete machine in order to instigate a fight .
“Ha! Have I become a toy?”
Cha Jun Sung promised to return to reality even if he had to awaken into a mutant and break through . There is something he needs to hear from Odin .
[I have bad news . ]
“What could get worse from here… . . What is it?”
[The Lifer who handed over Odelia’s nucleus and the sibling have been captured by Narsiel and Vanessa . It looks like they were unable to run away in time . ]
Cha Jun Sung held his forehead in his hand .
In his hologram, he could see Narsiel dragging the two with a finger that she had turned into a tentacle .
It looked like she was mumbling something, but he unfortunately could not hear it . He wants to rescue them, but he did not want to risk the danger and go back either .
Woong!
Is it because they knew what he was feeling?
The Heavy Gravity makes a sound . Then the gravity field narrows . Cha Jun Sung took steps backwards . He really felt like he was about to go crazy .
They are making it so that they have no choice but to meet . This is a **** situation he can’t make disappear with cursing, so his only option is to fight .
“I’ll pay back as much as I’m being wronged . I’m feeling it deep within my bones . ”
Cha Jun Sung grind his teeth and changed his direction to Austin .

“Human, what happened here? What happened to my sister!”
Narsiel harrasses the two Lifers .
She just bothers them because she cannot kill them, and she vents that anger on the older brother . Because he was wearing his battlesuit, he had an advantage over his brother in enduring this .
“I, I don’t know any… . . Hack hack!”
“Brother!”
Hector won’t say anything as if he does not know anything, but Narsiel is not stupid . She is asking because she has a hunch .
“The smell is telling me that this nucleus is my sister . There’s no way someone like you could kill my sister! Who is it! Who killed my sister!”
Vanessa stopped paying attention to what Narsiel was doing, and examined Odelia’s corpse . Like Benukiz, the wounds look as though she was attacked unilaterally .
The focus of the attacks and the traces of wounds are similar as well . The probability that they are the same person is 99 . 9% . To think that 2 of her sisters were killed by a mere human . She is incredibly surprised, she is just not showing it .
Woong!
It is a fairly large distance .
He can still hear them clearly, so he turned his head toward Vanessa and Narsiel’s location . He can see a large life form .
“Is it a machine . ”
Vanessa has also encountered a fair amount of machines . Among the humans who live off of her mother, Evil Queen, there are a few who are well-versed in machines . They let them live because they are convenient at times, but there is something different about this .
As the gravity field produced by the Heavy Gravity swept the waste buildings of Austin, they blew away in the wind like the rock that Cha Jun Sung had thrown . The Heavy Gravity did not stop until it had reached a radius of 5km .
It is the limit .
It cannot narrow beyond this because there is a set minimum .
