An unmeasurable giant creature cuts through the ocean .
It moves like a threaded needle going back and forth, sewing cloth .
It is foolish to even compare because of the size of the ocean, but just that area looked like it was being threaded .
The body movement itself is slow .
It looks very slow . But each movement brings it forward hundreds of meters in distance .
It was going back because of a sweet smell . It is curious because it’s something it’s smelling for the first time, but it doesn’t get seduced .
It is a ruler .
Nothing can distract its composure .
The creature stopped moving . The sweet smell is slowly fading .
Instead, the smell of those guys it ran into not long ago becomes stronger .
A fairly strong male and female pair .
It has been wandering the sea for a long time, but they are some of the strongest they have seen until now .
It’s sure that nothing in this ocean can take them on .
What is going on over there?
It isn’t sure, but it is sure of one thing . Something exciting is waiting .
***
Bang bang!
Nuclear’s energy ball gets embedded in the male’s pupil .
He used most of the energy left in his battlesuit . An increase in destructive power is inevitable, and the flesh scatters .
Boom boom boom!
It is out of energy .
The male is unable to regenerate the area where its eye has exploded, and flips with its stomach turned up . It floats on the water and breathes heavily .
It’s body is covered in wounds from cuts and bombs .
The male looked from one place to another . It has seen the dead female and baby . It was about to follow them .
“Farewell . ”
Hades cuts the male’s neck with wind pressure .
They couldn’t dissect it due to its size, but the trajectory of the vacuum wave gave the final blow .
[You have killed the Deep-Sea Teeth . You have earned 2 . 5 billion points and 5 billion achievement points . You have completed the level A advancement mission, Deep-Sea Teeth . You have earned 8 billion reward points . Cha Jun Sung is subject to upgrade – level S missions and store have been opened . ]
As everyone had expected, Cha Jun Sung was the only one to advance .
If it hadn’t been for Cha Jun Sung, it could have been someone else .
The battle would have been more fierce with the absence of a strong power . There would have been more sacrifices made, and someone would have stepped up .
“I – I can’t fight anymore . ”
“Phew! It’s done anyway . ”
The ice island that Ice Queen created near the male is visible .
It is about 1/10 of the size it normally is because she lacked the energy .
Park Jin Hyuk’s group and the Rankers are spread out on that small island . It is a terrible sight . A majority of the battlesuits are severely damaged .
The aftermath of battle .
It is a big show .
Cha Jun Sung, 11 Lifers and two level 8s had incredible pressure in frontal confrontation regardless of winners and losers .
They wanted to fight by hitting and retreating even if this takes some time, but it isn’t a situation where they can do that . The Albatrus is getting pushed .
They need to finish up the battle here somehow and then help out on that side .
But once the battle with the Deep-Sea Teeth was over, only one person was able to move and he was already on his way to help .
“He flies . ”
“His stamina is one thing, but we can’t ignore his battlesuit’s performance either . ”
The Lifers resting on the ice island all look at one place .
As soon as Cha Jun Sung killed the male and arrived at the Albatrus, he swept the battlefield .
The sharks are scattering everywhere following the Deep-Sea Teeth’s loss, but it’s slow because there are so many of them .
Park Jin Hyuk’s group and the Rankers took out their general charging devices and recovered their battlesuits’ energy . They already used all of the rapid charging devices .
While Cha Jun Sung attacked near the Albatrus, the 7 Rankers who had gone to take on the level 7s began to resume their positions one by one .
They aren’t in good shape either, but they are more at ease .
As soon as they joined in battle, they chased the sharks away with Cha Jun Sung as the principal axis .
“Is it… complete . ”
Strategist got an idea of the battle’s atmosphere and gave a hollow smile .
He doesn’t remember when it started, but now there are more times when he feels empty due to the death of his colleagues rather than a feeling of achievement that the mission is complete .
Survivors are flowers that bloom from the sacrifices of others . They used those opportunities created through their deaths as footholds to go up .
Those with more, gain more . Those who lose, lose more .
They hadn’t been able to advance, but Strategist’s group completed the mission and survived while earning a vast amount of points . It is sad, but he thinks of it as one step forward while establishing a friendly relationship with Cha Jun Sung who has opened up level S .
If he supports them with level S items, they will be able to develop even more . Completion without victims might even be possible .
“It’s time to go back . Uranos, do your best and wrap up the battlefield . ”
[Cyborg ejection . ]
The cyborgs remaining on board go out, leaving the mutants alone, and collect and take care of everything related to Lifers .
The victims don’t return and just watch this . They need to get a count of the damage, but at a glance, it looks like half have died .
Cha Jun Sung recovers Hades, goes up in the air, and goes past the ice island .
He looks at the Deep-Sea Teeth that are dead in different places .
“Parents who think of their children . I guess all living creatures are the same . ”
He doesn’t feel sorry or pity or anything . As long as he has entered with the intention to kill, those kinds of feelings are a luxury .
He is just understanding that those guys are struggling to live just like they are .
“Are we the same?”
Lifers don’t know that they’re specimens for experiment either . Cha Jun Sung is the only one who is close to the hidden truth .
[Sincere congratulations . Lifer Cha Jun Sung, I’m proud of you . The only level S Lifer . I knew you could do it . ]
It finally became reality for Cha Jun Sung that he had become level S once he heard Odin speak .
He had been busy with battle before, and had ignored the notice even after hearing it . He hadn’t had the chance to check how many points he got and that he had advanced .
How many level S missions are there?
Are there 5 since Cruel King is dead?
Or is it 6 including that cocoon?
He’ll be able to find out more in detail once he returns . His total points are about 20 billion . He bought a battlesuit, so he can pay attention to other areas . He’ll need to take care of the specifications he is lacking in .
[First, let us go back to the Albatrus . ]
“Jun Sung! Let’s go back!”
“Yeah . ”
Strategist’s radio .
Park Jin Hyuk was sitting on the ice island as he called to Cha Jun Sung who is floating in the air . Lifers are returning one by one .
Cha Jun Sung turned around to go back . Their work is done here .
At that moment, Cha Jun Sung froze as though he had been hit by lightning .
‘What is this? This energy?’
Something he can’t identify is binding him . He wants to turn around and look, but he can’t . His body won’t listen to him .
[Activate the reverse tracking camera!]
Odin realized something strange was going on, and turns on the camera built into the battlesuit .
The cameras change direction and film the rear . Though they only maintained basic functions, to think that they didn’t know until it had approached!
Woong!
The rear view comes up on his battlesuit’s hologram .
It is the open sea, but below sea level, a long and giant shadow shows under the sunlight .
[Infrared ray, thermal detection impossible! It is a mutant that can control its body temperature and assimilate to the environment! Estimated length 1255m . At this kind of size, could it be?]
From the way it hides, it is like Basil’s 9 combination stealth .
He is level S, but it hadn’t been detected by the battlesuit’s basic probe .
His body trembles .
Cold sweat forms on Cha Jun Sung’s entire body .
His mouth dries up . He doesn’t sweat much because he is a mutant and the temperature inside the battlesuit is always controlled, but he can’t help it now .
“Tell Strategist to run away or return to reality immediately . ”
[Transferring information… Transmission complete! Lifer Cha Jun Sung, you also need to hurry up and evacuate!]
Cha Jun Sung shakes his head .
He needs to buy time for them to get away . They’ll all get swept away if he boards the Albatrus .
Cha Jun Sung dives into the ocean with the reverse booster .
He doesn’t know how this happened . What he is sure of is that it has already happened .
He is submerged in the sea in a tense state .
Cha Jun Sung saw it .
It is atrocious, but it has arrogant eyes .
Sea God Levadan .
