Creator .
An owner who makes something that was not there before .
Interpreted like this, Borteth is Life Mission’s Creator .
“Since it’s a rule I created, I can get rid of it! I’ll do as I please in the areas I have authority in from now on!”
He won’t do anything obvious like activating the Heavy Gravity . He’ll do enough so Jigneon and Gabenu will acquiesce even when they know . He is tiptoeing, but he is being penalized . He needs to refrain from actions that bring attention to him .
Zing!
Borteth waves his hand in the air, a satellite installed in a mission region connects with North America, and he can see an active Cha Jun Sung . A managing position like an officer or helper can watch a Lifer’s every move without going through a complicated process .
“A trivial creature…”
Borteth grabs the edge of his desk and the steel rips . The officers are fundamentally strong . They have to be strong .
The officers are the ones who created body modifications and items like the battlesuit .
“Huh . I’ll have to make my own chess piece . One that’ll listen well . ”
The satellite’s view changes .
Borteth finds someone conducting a mission in the new view .
He’s perfect .
They’re hard to control if they’re smart . His influence and skill are outstanding, but he needs to be greedy and independent .
Since Jigneon and Gabenu created the monitoring network, he will be able to put good use to him if he plays his cards right .

Cha Jun Sung had lost Vanessa but he had been able to kill Odelia and Narsiel, but he did not go back to reality, and remained in the mission . He has lost a tremendous amount of points with his battlesuit destroyed and his space compression bag gone . He’s scared to even calculate the loss .
It might be a question as to whether he can stay in a mission area with his bare body, but he has already been found out as a mutant . All he needs is the PDA . Cha Jun Sung sweeps through mutant congested areas while awakened as a mutant, wearing his PDA, and holding Hades with his tail .
To mutants, he is a disaster and a nightmare . They lose the will to fight in front of a top level predators’ attack . Their confidence dwindles before they even start . It might seem like a good thing, but it isn’t . He doesn’t have to chase them around if they charge at him, but they all scatter and run away .
He accumulated points without much problems even without his space compression bag and battlesuit . He even caught a couple level 7s .
Perhaps because he had completed his mission, a mission was renewed each time he stepped into a mission area and he was able to bring in a considerable amount of points .
He worked one day, rested the next .
He hunted every other day in order to maintain his condition . He returned after earning 50 billion points . The retention period is 2 months . He earned 50 billion points because of the battlesuit .
With the points he got from Odelia and Narsiel on top of that, he can repair his damaged battlesuit .
He can buy basic items as well . It is fortunate that only the shell was broken and a lot of the inside remained intact . The biggest worry was the battlesuit . He invested over 100 billion in creating a level S full remodeling, and it would be impossible to buy before advancing no matter how many points he had .
When Odin laid the judgement that regeneration is possible, he really almost cried . Whatever had happened, The Path of Blood and King’s Blood missions were completed .

Odin kept his promise to Cha Jun Sung . He answered all of his questions to the best of his abilities as long as they were not regarding Life Mission’s secrets .
In return, Cha Jun Sung made Odin a promise as well .
He promised not to tell anyone what he heard .
Odin said that if he breaks this promise, Cha Jun Sung and those who hear the information will face unimaginable penalties .
He felt uncomfortable, but agreed .
As a result, he had two secrets he couldn’t tell . Those regarding Life Mission and the fact that he is a mutant .
“So you’re saying the **** who played me is the 2nd officer, one of the three architects of Life Mission?”
[Yes . He is currently receiving punishment for that . ]
Cha Jun Sung had thought that the helpers were at the very top . But he had been wrong .
Comparing Life Mission to a major company, they are classified by high and low positions . It is a simple and easy system .
The highest are the 3 officers and the investors who support Life Mission .
The second are the managers who participate in Life Mission’s systems or errors, and item production, and helpers like Odin . The helpers’ special right is moving dimensions . It is impossible if blocked by the powers that be, but there isn’t a limit as long as their energy allows for it .
The world that Life Mission was created in is Earth hundreds of years in the future, where the science is so developed even dimensional movement is possible .
This is something that Cha Jun Sung had assumed . It had been mentioned on Lifer World that this was the case or that it was the work of aliens .
Apparently, Lifer World was created by Life Mission and not in America . He said something about using it as a method to watch Lifers’ communications .
“Huh? Then does that mean all employees working for Life Mission are cyborgs?”
[In hundreds of years, the population on Earth is just 1% of what it is now . We don’t have the manpower to send humans to the past . There’s no reason to send them, either . ]
His questions are being answered .
If he conducts the reality version and returns to where he came from, nothing can find him .
Cyborgs were a specially created camouflage team . He understands why not a single piece of information had been leaked even on the Internet .
“Hah! Only I can know this stuff?”
This information was too valuable to know alone .
It is so provocative that if Lifers, if the world knew, it wouldn’t just be a scandal but everything would be flipped .
He is itching to tell, but he has to keep it to himself . He is hearing this on that condition .
“Why was Life Mission – specifically Lifers and mutants – created?”
[Humans do not change in the present or the future . They pursue and crave something constantly . Science advances, but the nature remains the same . ]
It’s funny .
Humans develop science, but humans themselves do not develop .
How contradictory is this?
[You can think of Lifers as something like the superheroes in movies, who maintain their essence while possessing the power to transcend limits . ]
Cha Jun Sung clenches his fists .
Though he has become a mutant, he still has the lingering effects of the body modifications he went through as a human . He can understand .
Superhero?
It’s possible .
“What about mutants?”
[They’re a mutation from experiments trying to transcend the limits of humans . It’s easy to taint something with pure intentions . ]
There are things that are discovered without intention . A side product?
They discovered the A virus by chance while trying to create superhumans .
What they had wanted was a superhuman in human form, but what they had gotten was a monster . It wasn’t on the good side, but scientists had been overcome with scholarly ambition .
[They were experiments that couldn’t be done on cyborgs, but it was a time when there wasn’t access to enough life . ]
So they opened two dimensional gates . Both are the same Earth . There was a slight time difference, but they were the same as though they had been copied and pasted . That’s how they spread Life Mission and the A virus in each world .
“The documents we found at the Institute of Biological Sciences! Right . It said ‘suddenly’ . ”
Everything is falling into place . The puzzle is coming together . Come to think of it, Black Demon had said this, but it feels different coming from Odin .
“What’s your ultimate goal?”
[We’re trying to see who can dominate between Lifers and mutants . ]
“So what are you trying to do once you find out who the dominating species is? You said the population in that era is 1%, right? Does that mean we all become mutants?”
[Sorry . I did not receive permission regarding that information . ]
Cha Jun Sung tsked .
He did find out a lot, but it seems there is more that Odin is not allowed to tell him . It’s a pity, but he left it alone .
“Last one . ”
[Yes . ]
“What’s the exact relationship between Life Mission and Lifers?”
[Creator, or Creator and Creature . This is something that Borteth says often . This is cruel against you, but there’s no other way to express it . ]
***
Once Cha Jun Sung’s long questioning was over, it was Odin’s turn to ask . His question was something unexpected .
[Why did you let him live? That’s worth the death penalty according to our laws . ]
He is referring to Hector . It may have been to save his little brother, but he lured hundreds of Lifers to Odelia . He deserves death .
Cha Jun Sung responded, ‘The world is so twisted, who gets to judge who? I would’ve just killed him if he had been a madman, but I couldn’t . ’
That’s why he gave him Odelia’s nucleus, too . Hector tried his best in a competition of survival . His method was bad, but his intention wasn’t . Cha Jun Sung can’t say that he wouldn’t have done the same in that situation .
‘Odin . Sorry, but just listen to one more thing . You guys made this world . ’
A stabbing remonstrance . Odin couldn’t refute . It’s the truth .
