‘Something’ was slowly walking from beyond the horizon, using the sinking black full moon as its halo.
It was neither the command soldier that Daesung knew nor the monster that was sleeping in the glass tube in the laboratory.
Then…. ‘So,
besides the glass tube monster and Roman, there was something else hiding somewhere in the lab?’
It was clear that something that had been hidden in a facility connected to the lab had been liberated when the place was integrated through the implementation of the field.
Daesung, who thought so, looked at Roman, who was running away from a distance, but…
“Hmm?”
A questioning voice came out of his mouth.
This is because Roman, who encountered that ‘something’, stopped running for a moment and looked quite embarrassed.
Grumbling-!
Roman came to a sudden stop and skidded to a halt on the spot.
“So…”
That ‘something’.
It had an appearance that made it impossible to distinguish a specific species.
Its head had curved horns like those of a mountain goat, and its face had three diamond-like square eyes, three on each side starting from between the eyebrows.
The upper body, starting from the clavicle with gills, was made of the hard black carapace of an insect, but the lower body was reminiscent of bird legs covered in claws and hair.
In addition, it is surrounded by reptile-like scales and has a green tail that sways from side to side.
Even if it is a monster that human common sense does not apply to, there is no one that looks so basic.
And Roman, who encountered the hybrid monster, took a step back and said.
“Director So…?”
It was a small voice that only the hybrid monster that was relatively close could hear.
“…Chief?”
However, that voice was enough to reach the ears of Daeseong, who ruled and governed the entire territory here.
Roman said he was the director.
The identity of that hybrid monster is…
“That’s Park Dong-hyuk?”
The unexpected trend almost made Daesung suspect that Roman was out of fear and talking nonsense.
‘Park Dong-hyuk must have died by having his head cut off by Roman, right?’
But I quickly realized that Roman wasn’t just talking nonsense.
widely-!
The hybrid monster, no, Park Dong-hyuk, kicked the ground as if sweeping away and instantly closed the distance between himself and Roman.
Soon, a thick, huge hand like a chimpanzee grabbed Roman’s neck.
Roman, who was helplessly suppressed, struggled while swinging the iron sword of < Balgum >, but was unable to easily pierce Park Dong-hyeok’s hard skin.
“Kek kek…!”
“Jaewoo.”
“Director So! Intestine…!”
“Nam Jae-woo, you damn bastard. “What kind of mess did you make while I was hibernating?”
With this, it became clear that the identity of that hybrid monster was Park Dong-hyuk.
Daeseong looked at the battlefield.
The command soldiers had already annihilated all of the glass tube monsters long ago, leaving no one behind.
‘I need to first understand the situation.’
Originally, the plan was to kill Roman and dig up information using < Devil's Eyes >, but
things got twisted in an unknown direction due to the appearance of Park Dong-hyeok, who was thought to be dead.
[The realization of the field ‘Ghost King’s Territory’ is canceled.]
As soon as the notification message disappeared, the vast wilderness of death disappeared like a mirage.
When we returned to the 50 pyeong (approximately 50 square meter) laboratory, only then did Hwang Jun-young and Shin Cho-young realize the current situation and let out a surprised sound.
But Daesung’s next words were even more shocking.
“Park Dong-hyuk.”
“Kek…! Ugh…!”
“Leave him behind. Should we talk for a moment? “Please explain how this all happened.”
at that time.
Hwang Jun-young froze like a person drenched in cold water.
Park Dong-hyuk? That monster?
“….”
Park Dong-hyuk grabbed Roman’s neck and wriggled his single disgusting eye.
A strange voice that sounded like three or four overlapping human voices, regardless of gender or age, flowed from his mouth.
“If I let go, this bastard will go crazy again, right?”
“…That too. “Then say it like that.”
“If you ask me to speak, am I in a position where I have to answer obediently? “This damned assistant is a bastard, but you’re not particularly trustworthy either, are you?”
“Then don’t explain it to me, tell it to the human behind me.”
“….”
The single eye near the temple turned to the side.
Park Dong-hyuk was able to find Hwang Jun-young squirming and embarrassed behind Daesung.
Only then.
My reason, which had been paralyzed by anger, regained some stability.
And on the other hand, I couldn’t open my mouth because I didn’t know where to start talking.
“Junyoung, there was something I was hiding from you. I’m sorry, but…”
***
Park Dong-hyuk always thought.
No matter how good the equipment is and how powerful the weapon is, humans are ultimately only humans.
“How can a human defeat a monster when their bodies are naturally different?”
Awakened people who use the mysterious power called ‘Auror’ have transcended human limitations.
There was no way I was going to encounter monsters of a completely different race and a completely different level from the world I lived in.
Humans, who have lived as predators for a long time, never tried to understand or acknowledge the reality that they had become prey.
“The association guys and the hunters are the same. “They are all so drunk with their own pride that they can’t see reality.”
“…That’s what you’ve been saying to me over and over again.”
“okay. Junyoung, I understand because you had some conversations with me. If things continue like this, how long do you think humans will be able to endure? “How long do you think this fragile peace will last?”
“….”
“We are now being invaded by strange alien monsters. But… surprisingly, people don’t know this.”
Just as Noah’s descendants in Genesis struggled to build a tower high into the sky, it was ultimately a meaningless struggle in the face of the great flood caused by the Creator.
Sooner or later, the onslaught of those two-dimensional monsters will bring about a disaster comparable to the wrath of Mother Nature, and humans will never be able to resist it.
Park Dong-hyuk thought so.
“Rather than imitate their power with a gem the size of a pebble taken from the monsters’ hearts…”
Blood spurted out on Park Dong-hyeok’s arm, which took the form of a terrible monster.
Roman, whose prayers were imprisoned, let out a frustrated groan and twisted his body.
“We had to create another monster that would fight on the side of humans.”
“I never thought you would even think like that…”
“Yes. “I thought it was crazy, so there was no need to mention it to the association, and even to you, Junyoung, kept his mouth shut.”
If you look at the words alone, there aren’t any typical lines from a mad scientist character that would only appear in a cartoon.
“So I took advantage of this ugly assistant. The black market is already overflowing with rotting pieces of monsters. “I scraped together everything I could find.”
“….”
“And it was all woven together. I just pulled out the extract and mixed it. “It was an idea that started with the simple thought that if we mixed the strengths of each entity, something stronger would come out.”
That’s how it was born.
Park Dong-hyuk is the creature closest to the ‘strongest’ in his opinion.
“It has human-like intelligence and potential superior to that of humans. If it had been an enemy, we would have been eaten at the bottom of the food chain without making a move…”
Park Dong-hyuk did not grab Roman, so he spread his left arm wide.
It’s as if he wants you to take a look at yourself.
“Look. And imagine. “The scene where a creature like this stands on the side of humans and fights off those monsters.”
“…But I don’t know why your voice is coming from that creature.”
“Because I needed confirmation.”
Park Dong-hyuk named the creature he created ‘Chimera.’
A seemingly decent piece of hardware was created.
But there was no software to make the hardware work.
“Yeah, it’s okay. I thought it was okay. then.”
First of all, where did this shell come from?
the problem is.
It was necessary to check whether the shell was well made.
“I wanted to feel it for myself.”
“….”
“So I chose the path to synchronize myself with this body.”
Mental connection.
Of course, even though he was an unrivaled engineer in ether engineering, he could not move his soul and spirit like a luggage box like in a science fiction movie.
“I couldn’t tell whether it would take a month or 10 years for me to open my eyes in the body of the chimera that had moved away. So, I went into hibernation in the deepest part of my laboratory and vaguely waited to wake up in this body.”
After saying that, Park Dong-hyeok moved his six eyes and scanned the inside of the lab.
There were definitely things lying around that weren’t there before I fell asleep.
“But thanks to someone turning my original body into that shape, I was able to force myself to wake up from hibernation. Ah, I didn’t know this. “The condition for waking up from sleep is to completely kill the human body.”
“Kek kkeok…! Director…!”
“It’s all thanks to you, you fucking assistant. I made an unintentional discovery because you killed me. “I’m so thankful for this that it’s driving me crazy.”
Park Dong-hyuk pulled his right arm up to the distance where Roman’s nose was touching.
Six single eyes with wolf-like eyes flashed and pressed Roman.
“Well, that’s the end of my story. “Now it’s time for you to speak up.”
“Kek ker huh…!”
“What are all those corpses and why do you look like that? “What did you do while I closed my eyes?”
The moment Park Dong-hyuk asked that question.
Roman’s face was frowning due to the pressure on his neck, and he let out a weak laugh.
“I was… under your shadow… when you were running after me… gasping…” “
….”
“You… did whatever you wanted because of that crazy experiment… . After a good night’s sleep… I suddenly fell into the Nakdong River…! When you become a duck egg… wasting time in this dark, damp… gutter…”
‘It’ came.
As always, they came with strong human feelings.
Dimension Taker.
“You asked me…”
-Are you Park Dong-hyuk?-
“So… hee hee! “What did I… say?”
-you’re right. My name is Park Dong-hyeok. –
“I thought it would be more beneficial for you to tell me what you’re doing rather than answering that it’s neither me nor Nam Jae-woo.”
It was an impersonation.
Nam Jae-woo introduced himself as Park Dong-hyeok to the Dimension Taker of the Southern Altar who came to see him.
And he joined their side and received a new name, ‘Roman’, and became a member of the family.
What happened after that was the same as what Daesung had read in Jerome’s memory.
The only thing that is different is that the man named Park Dong-hyeok that Jerome knew was actually Roman.
“It’s all you… this. That mind moves… I don’t even hibernate… I don’t… when I’m shaking… they say I have more… accomplishments that can’t even be compared to what you’ve achieved. ..I made it happen…!”
They handed over the ‘processing core’.
Roman used it to create a stimulant that fuses humans and monsters.
As a result, Park Dong-hyuk’s ideal of creating a higher entity that surpasses humans was realized.
Through this, Roman was able to surpass Park Dong-hyuk, whom he was both jealous of and in awe of at the same time.
“I completed all your… intentions… all your research…! Well, in the end… I killed you too because of those bastards… I tried to dispose of the entire facility… but…” “….” “
Uh
, anyway. Even though I don’t know how to thank you enough… you grab my one and only disciple by the collar…? “Wow!”
Roman, who was struggling to squeeze out every word, let out a painful groan.
Park Dong-hyuk couldn’t bear it anymore and threw him against the wall.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
Donghyuk Park
said as he walked towards Roman, who was pouring out a handful of blood.
“When you said you went through such emotional hardship under me, I almost felt a little sorry. “Until I heard that biological experiments were conducted on ‘humans.’”
“This Mr. Lee’s arm…! “It hurts!”
“But what? Are you saying that you have completed my intention? “I don’t know why I did such a crazy thing in the end, so bullshit like that comes out of my mouth, right?”
“this-!”
The arm, with swollen muscles threatening to burst, swung around and the ferocious beast’s fist exploded into Roman’s face.
puck-!
“Wow…!”
“Yeah, that’s right, I’ll be trapped in this body forever because of you asshole. “In a way, I brought this upon myself.”
puck-! puck-!
A sound like flesh being crushed by a hammer rang out non-stop.
“But I can’t stand it when you use people as experiment material and side with those monsters.”
Even as his fists were pounding mercilessly, Roman tried to counterattack somehow, but to no avail.
The strongest body that Park Dong-hyuk put so much effort into creating was easily overpowering the presence of Honse, just as he had hoped.
While a somewhat ruthless physics education scene was taking place, Daesung slowly walked around the inside of the lab.
And found it.
‘Is this it?’
A catalog containing the names of various nationalities, past dates, and quantities of certain items.
That’s right….
‘List of business partners for fusion ampoule.’
The real purpose of coming here.
It was a list of cancer cells that had spread all over the world.
Daesung carefully stored the catalog inside subspace.
Now all that’s left is….
Daesung said.
“Still, it seems like it would be hard to kill someone just because of the affection they have shared, right?”
“….”
It was obvious even if I didn’t turn my head to look directly.
Park Dong-hyeok’s hesitation is that even though he beats Roman to the point of death, he is unable to deliver the decisive blow that will ultimately end his life.
Park Dong-hyuk responded in a gasping voice while breathing heavily.
“I taught this guy… this world’s bastard a lot of things.”
“I guess so.”
“I can’t kill it or save it. I’m going crazy.”
“Then I will help you.”
Park Dong-hyuk must have his own position, so it is understandable that he says such things. Just understand.
In the end, Roman… How many people have been harmed and will continue to be harmed because of Nam Jae-woo?
There was no room for pity, and I hadn’t come all this way to show any mercy.
Kaga River –
Daesung slowly approached where Park Dong-hyuk and Roman were, dragging the long sword on the floor.
“Move. “I’ll do for you what you can’t do.”
“….”
“If you don’t like it, try blocking it.”
“…no.”
Park Dong-hyuk shook his head.
“You take this bastard’s life.”
“ah! for a moment! for a moment…!”
When Park Dong-hyuk turned around with a detached expression, Roman hurriedly stretched out his hand toward him.
As if telling me not to go.
As if telling you not to give up on yourself.
Sigh-!
“Ugh…!”
And a hand that was even more cruel, fierce, and heartless than Park Dong-hyuk’s held Roman’s clown.
Daesung said, his eyes looking as if he was looking at the sewage strewn on the street.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
“Oof…! “Woo wow…!”
“You are. Can you take me to the place where those people who gave you strength are? “If that’s possible, I’ll let you survive for five more minutes.”
“Ugh…! Ugh…!”
Tears began to flow from Roman’s pure white mask.
The moment Roman, unable to think rationally, honestly shook his head.
Crack.
Daesung straightened his sword forward and thrust it into the man’s chest.
As slowly as possible.
The blade of condemnation so slowly cut into Roman’s bones and flesh.
Every time the blood overflowed, Roman’s pupils, exposed through the gaps in his mask, slowly turned over.
“After all, you were not worth living even for five minutes.”
When Roman’s transparent tears turned into bright red blood.
-Quad!
Flame’s sword pierced through the guy’s back and pierced through the wall.
