“Do you have to go?”
“I think it’s weird too . It isn’t a sense of duty and no one’s pushing me to do it . I’m deciding whether I want to go or not on my own, aren’t I? But I want to go . ”
Park Jin Hyuk held both of Kyoko’s hands tightly . His hands are shaking .
10 years of Life Mission .
In that time, Park Jin Hyuk had reached his thirties .
He is no longer the high schooler he had been when he first met Cha Jun Sung .
“Koharu and Violet, Jun Sung are all beings like this . Why are you doing this too? Level S is level 9 . It’s a Disaster . You could die . It’s not a joke . ”
Not long ago, World Federation made a final decision on the level S mission they’ll go into . After debating between Sea God and Bon Load, they had decided on the latter .
Koharu, Violet, and Basil accepted the Bon Load mission that Strategist proposed . The same went for Park Jin Hyuk . Kyoko is the only person who won’t go .
Level S Lifer reinforcement is impossible because there are no level A advancement missions, so a lot of level A Lifers formed . All that’s left is whether they collide or not .
“What about our baby?”
Her full belly . Kyoko was left out of the mission because she is with child . Their mission is scheduled for next month . It is similar to her expected delivery date .
This means Park Jin Hyuk will be on the edge of life and death while the baby is being born .
“I won’t die . ”
“Don’t kid yourself . We’re strong, but we’re not invincible . Honestly, I was too scared during Three Evil Bones . There were mounds of corpses everywhere!”
It was the worst level A advancement mission in which more than 8000 people died, including Rankers .
The difficulty had been incomparable to that of Deep Sea Teeth due to Cha Jun Sung’s absence . If the force that entered had been pushed back just a little, they would have been annihilated .
“If Jun Sung, our leader who was always one step ahead and who made the impossible possible, were going in too, I would have let you go without any issues . But he can’t do missions anymore . There was that much sacrifice for 8 billion points, so how will it be for 190 billion?”
Everything Kyoko is saying is right .
She wanted to take Park Jin Hyuk out of the Bon Load mission . If he falls back, Koharu and the others will follow .
Though it has been long since Cha Jun Sung has acted properly as a Lifer, he still retains his abilities . No, he is much better than he was before .
He is like two level S Lifers . How great would it be if he were present?
The reward points for the Bon Load mission is 190 billion .
Three Evil Bones was 8 billion .
With a simple calculation, it is almost 24 times that of Three Evil Bones .
They don’t need to experience it to know . Hell is waiting for Lifers .
“I already told them I’m going . There’ll be a hole in the force if our party falls out . ”
Koharu, Basil, and Park Jin Hyuk are top level A Lifers, and Violet is one of only three level S Lifers .
“Try to understand my position . ”
Kyoko shook her head .
When Park Jin Hyuk sees that Cha Jun Sung can’t go into missions, he feels a sense of duty that he needs to end it in his stead .
He won’t listen no matter how much she tries to stop him . She can only hope that he will come back alive .
***
Time went by quickly . Time goes by faster when you don’t want it to .
A month went by in the blink of an eye .
“We’re entering in two days . I want to see him before we go in, but where on earth is he? He went back on his promise all of a sudden?”
“Yeah . He said he couldn’t do it . ”
Violet spoke .
Just one day after asking Cha Jun Sung to help with the Amazon search, he contacted her saying that he couldn’t do it .
She didn’t get angry that he went back on his promise .
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t do it . She’s curious about why he turned them down, but she hadn’t been able to get a clear reason .
“It seems he’s inside a mission from the way he can’t be contacted . ”
“His maximum is level B, but a level S Lifer staying inside a level B mission for several months?”
“He could be wandering around . ”
Park Jin Hyuk laughed bitterly .
To cross paths like this . He will be sure to come back, but he wanted to see Cha Jun Sung’s face before going .
“Let’s just do a good job, complete the mission, and see him when we get back . ”
“Okay . ”
Violet gave Park Jin Hyuk strength .
It is the day after tomorrow .
The day they enter level S mission Ruler of Bones .
It was strange .
It formed irregularly . It was like white flour sprayed on a person lying on their side . It was either breathing or a part of its body was swelling up and down .
It seems to be a living being .
Of course, it isn’t human .
It is Evil Queen, who left another self behind and disappeared 5 years ago .
She is in a deep sleep . Evil Queen hadn’t moved from this one place in 5 years .
She had turned all external functions internal . She cut off all communication with the world, so much so that she wouldn’t know what was happening right next to her . It is like a consciousness that is trying to let her be born again into a more perfect being .
She had lost all concept of time .
She focused only on the changes happening to her .
Then it was as the process was finishing and she was gaining control over herself .
Evil Queen opened her eyes . It wasn’t a big act . All she had done was open her eyes .
White powder permeates into Evil Queen’s flesh .
It is being absorbed .
When the absorption was over, all that was left was a white-haired woman . Evil Queen stands up and stretches .
Sensual movements .
This is unnecessary behavior for mutants, but it’s a habit of hers .
“How many years has it been?”
She had thought that the consciousness would take a long time . She hadn’t been able to specify exactly how many years it would take, since she hadn’t known how the changes would proceed .
Evil Queen’s upper body twists abnormally . Then a skull resembling that of a human’s appears . It is Bon Load who has fused with her .
“Ugh I can’t control it . ”
Bon Load doesn’t have a clear form like other mutants . This giant tomb is his container . If Bon Load had been weaker than Evil Queen when she first contacted this bizarre creature, she would have eaten him for the nutrients .
But they were able to form a symbiotic relationship because they were equals .
In that process, Evil Queen learned more about Bon Load . Then she had a thought .
What if Bon Load was contained not in the tomb, but in herself? It felt like something they could handle .
She thought of this after she saw Asia’s Black Lord . A mighty energy that suppressed the will to fight emanated from his body .
It would have been good if they maintained a friendly relationship, but they hadn’t been able to do that .
But the meeting with Black Lord was just a gauge to start thinking about it, there was a different reason why they executed it .
It was because of Africa .
Evil Queen was human, so she knows how comfortable science is . She found out about Africa with intelligence to an extent .
There was a war between Europe’s White Witch and Africa’s Beast, and White Witch won .
The one from Asia was in the rear support .
Names aren’t constant between Disasters . They each have their own names for each other .
Anyway, it is certain that the white one and black one formed an alliance . Evil Queen decided to fuse with Bon Load at this point .
This is the result .
Though they have fused, Bon Load’s mentality is still present . It is better to think that they coexist .
Mutual dependence .
Evil Queen can show Bon Load the world after having been tied to one place, and Bon Load can lend Evil Queen his incredible strength .
It is her body, but Evil Queen can’t control Bon Load to her will . They cooperate with each other as equal presences . She had been expecting this much .
“This is plenty . ”
These words were aimed at Black Lord .
The one she had seen a long time ago .
He was surely strong, but she could feel the boundary of power because she had a foot in the same boundary . In this state, she is easily twice as strong . Even if he and Europe’s white one came at her at the same time, or some other variable arose, she could win .
“I think all of the children are dead… Must be the work of those Lifers . ”
They hadn’t gotten in contact 5 years ago, but they still haven’t given word now, so she is sure .
“Since we’ve rested a long time, shall we get moving?”
Evil Queen left the tomb with Bon Load in her .
They will be busy for the time being .
They need to go past Asia to Europe .
