33 Tue – The Legion’s Retribution (4)
Theseus’ ship. The challenge of change and sustainability.
The body that used to make up me is being replaced one by one on a cell-by-cell basis.
Its function and appearance are clearly the same as before.
So when all the cells have completely changed, is it me? It was one of the strange and creepy senses of alienation that Kang Do-yeon feels right now.
[If you can’t stand that alienation, your mind will crumble like this]
An unfamiliar voice rang in her ears.
A voice that the Legion had been tired of hearing, but the Legion could not comprehend.
The voice was that of a heavy man, but there was a mix of scratches as if something had been wounded.
[Who the hell are you]
‘I… I…’
She curled up like a fetus and frowned.
It was so confusing.
So much information flowed into my mind.
The knowledge of the legion that a small human brain could not sustain.
So the Legion properly controlled the information directed to her.
With the control of this information, she had the strongest ego in the Legion, but was pushed back to second place in the ranks.
‘I’m a gangster. I am just me.’
[Is that all?]
‘And, … part of the Legion.’
She overcame the alienation with her mental strength.
I succeeded in not losing my self.
I remember the last moment clearly.
The red cross eyes in the blue suit that cut their own limbs to pieces and finally made the sound of kneading.
‘Bitch.’
anger boiled over.
But her anger was not alone.
With that anger, the entire corps sympathized.
The whole area covered with the Legion’s nest was trembling.
[The first beings were born. This was recorded in the history of the Legion]
She slowly opened her eyes.
At the same time, the six walls of the nest in which she was housed snapped and cracked.
Light came in through the cracks, and slime spurted out.
“Keep… Kheheh…”
She was swept away and spilled outside.
Instinctively inhaling, taking air into the lungs.
“eww…”
With blurred vision, she staggered as she stood up from the six walls of the nest laid on the floor.
Even though the alienation was overcome, it still remained in the body.
Feeling like you are not your own body.
But she took a deep breath and took a deep breath.
As my mind calmed down, my body quickly adapted to it.
[Do you know what to do?]
“Yeah. I know uh… Uncle.”
She grinned as she grabbed her scruffy hair.
Although the Legion had control over the information, it was also determined to actively and efficiently use the only entity with a fully developed brain, Kang Do-yeon.
So I couldn’t know.
Where you are now, why you are in this state, what the Legion is and what to do next.
“I’m angry with those dog-like bastards. But you’re not angry because of me. Are you? To you, I’m just an individual. You’re just angry because your brother is sad or angry.”
she walked slowly
Despite the bizarre and disgusting nests and legionaries that would make an ordinary girl scream if they saw him, he didn’t even care that he was naked, not wearing a single thread.
After all, it didn’t matter to her anymore.
“let’s go.”
Following her as she gradually ascended, the legionaries who had been waiting moved.
The procession went on endlessly.
It was a march to completely occupy the 35th floor.
There was no fear or doubt on the face of Kang Do-yeon, who was at the forefront.
[You and us are the corps]
She was also part of the corps after all.
In exchange for saving her life, she became one with the Legion.
‘So war, fighting is my duty.’
There was no such thing as a reason.
Because war and predation were the significance of the Legion’s existence.
“What the heck? To me, uh… they look like elves from a creation. They’re disgustingly pale corpses. What kind of structure? Temple? Temple?”
Gang Do-yeon led the legionnaires to the 35th floor.
Through her, the Legion for the first time made a concrete assessment of the enemies of Level 35.
[They attack us once again. Just like last time, the patterns on their bodies started to shine]
The corps responded to the guards who also lost their reason and rushed.
The Legion has never lost a rematch until now.
Always stronger and more novel power and tactics for the second attack.
“Ugh…”
It was still the same today.
With the legionaries running out first, Kang Do-yeon, who staggered, widened her eyes and trembled.
[Get used to it. The Legion gave special powers to a special entity. Another racial characteristic of the corps is rapid growth. it will be applied It was the extreme of inefficiency, but it was an entity worth investing in]
“Ugh… ah ah ah ah!”
Kang Do-yeon screamed in pain as her body twisted and reconstructed.
At the same time, her entire body began to change.
The skeleton changed rapidly, and the skin of the whole body, which caused the mutation, began to be covered with black leather and carapace.

Muscles relocated and nerves were twisted.As a result, his body was completely changed except for the top of the neck.
Its appearance, as if wearing a black suit, was not so different from other all-round legionaries.
“Kyaak!”
As she gasped as she swallowed the pain, the enemy ran towards her with a spear.
She lifted her bowed head.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed red, and she clenched her teeth and kicked at the enemy.
The superhuman leg power that pressed the compression muscles created by the Legion to the limit exploded.
“It really hurts…”
A shock wave was emitted and the upper body of the enemy with the broken spear exploded.
From her hand, she drew a sword that had transformed her cells.
Anger boiled inside.
The entire corps that resonated with her was the same.
And that intense anger helped to stamp down the enemies.
She leapt to the ground at once and split the body of an enemy in a battle with a legionary in half.
Obviously, the composition and size of the corps is the same as before.
However, the results were completely different.
The corps quickly began to drive the enemies and almost annihilated them.
With the development of the brain and the appearance of Kang Do-yeon, the consciousness of the colony became faster and more dense, and the learned rage turned into madness, slicing and slicing the enemy.
An irrational corpse that moves through magic?
They were obviously great bodyguards who could die, but it was the same here.
[All enemies have fallen. But it’s not over yet. We must head up there]
“…what the hell are you doing here?”
Kang Do-yeon with a sword in her muttered as she looked at the huge hole in the ceiling.

“Are you okay, Mom? Are you honest?”
“…I told you that I will surely live.”
“Really? But can I go back to Earth?”
The boy looked into the air and said.

Me beyond the screen. Of course, the timing wasn’t right.“There must be a way.”
“I think we’ll be able to go soon.”
Contrary to my heart, Kang Do-yeon said with a grin.
The boy’s body was still there.
It was similar, but it was clearly not human.
It was very awkward to look like a female corps soldier.
[Do you have anything to say now?]
“No. It’s not.”
I shook my head.
Now, my words were being conveyed by the narration, and by the guy my younger brother called ‘Uncle’.
“I’m not just saying this. I don’t know my brother, but I know that I’m directly connected to the Legion. It’s really…awesome. That strange can that attacked us, I can tear it apart and kill it now.”
The guy clenched his fist.
It was a hand with sharp claws sprouting as if wearing a gauntlet.
“Yeah. That’s right. But we have to get out of that labyrinth first.”
“To me, this looks like some kind of ancient ruins. The guys who rushed at us act as if they were trying to defend this place. But they’re just big, so it’s really nothing.”
Kang Do-yeon got up from her seat and went around the 35th floor to investigate.
Unlike other stairs, this place is a barren cave itself.
Currently, the seeds of the nest are being planted to expand the area, but there is not much to digest.
[The corps decided to take some time to reorganize. In order to make up for the lost troops and climb up there, I’m going to make this place a complete nest first.]
The nest was an essential space for producing and nourishing the Legionnaires at the same time.
If you were looking for efficiency, it was foolish to pour even a legionary soldier like a consumable item.
“Ugh… I really hate it.”
One of the tentacles flowed out of the nest, too.
When the tentacles hit the lumbar region, the guy trembled and murmured over and over again.
“I can send you food. I still buy and send it constantly.”
“Okay. I don’t have a digestive system in my body anyway, and above all, eating like this is more efficient than digesting it with my digestive system.”
“…don’t you like bread?”
For a moment, the boy’s ears perked up.
I smiled and got up from my seat.
I wanted to do this…
“Hey! Are you listening right now?! I’ll do everything here to fight, so just stick with it! Stay close to Cha Ji-yeon!”
“…Tell me you know.”
[good night]
I laughed bitterly.
Kang Do-yeon became part of the corps.
However, his thoughts did not always coincide with the Legion.
The upper class was, of course, a corps.

My brother cares about me, so I want to hide it safely.But not the army.
The Legion cares about me, so they want me to grow stronger.
Now I knew The Legion wasn’t the only one who knew how I felt.
