It was full of playfulness, but underneath it was a deep hostility.
There was no way Strydom wouldn’t feel it, and his expression naturally hardened.
“Long time no see. Caidel.”
– right. Quite a bit of time has passed.
Strydom recalled the past in a voice that seemed calm, but with a hint of futility.
The incident that led to Kaidel being called the Blood Demon.
He stood up alone and challenged Luna to a fight, and an enforcer and a few superhumans were put in to stop such Kaidel.
And there was also Strydom in its place.
Straydom, who was still an immature, young bayonet soldier, watched the fierce battle of the supermen with his own eyes and was greatly influenced, and eventually rose to the rank of the superman.
Strydom’s shoulders trembled lightly, who were proud that there was nothing to fear in the world.
‘······It was amazing.’
Superhumans are not all superhumans the same, and even within them, the hierarchy is divided.
If Straydom is now starting his life as a superman, Kaidel is a person who has clearly established his own image and is on the verge of going beyond that.
He is called Nosa and is a monster among monsters who casually manages to tamper with other people’s martial arts.
‘······Still, I wonder if it’s worth doing now.’
but.
The wounds of the past are still not healed, and most of the powers are sealed due to the prohibition placed by the enforcers, so I just think that I can fight at least.
Originally, it was close to impossible for Strydom to deal with Kaidel.
– Whoa.
Did he feel the image of Strydom?
– why. Do you feel it’s worth doing?
A light but infinitely heavy voice penetrated Strydom’s heart.
“If you need.”
Although full of ridicule, Strydom made up his mind and answered in a firm voice.
He is also a superman.
He is the one who established the image by setting up a pillar in his heart, and life and death are not important to him.
The important thing is to stick to your own image.
For that reason, you can fight with a smile even against legendary warriors.
– ······I can’t even call it a child song. It’s worth writing. stridem.
“It was nothing.”
It was only for a moment that the joy of being acknowledged by the warriors he admired and still respected grew, and Straydom, who was determined, opened his mouth.
“Did you make an oath with Hindel?”
– yes. Invited Hindel helped. I have to repay the favor, but all I have is my body, so what should I do?
“Any details?”
– He asked me to destroy the enemies who are targeting the company. Thanks to you, I can’t even get out of here. Even if it is a long outing.
Hearing Kaidel’s muttering voice, Strydom thought of something and carefully chose his words.
“……Is the National Guard also mixed in with that enemy?
– If the company is targeted and attacked, that will happen.
It seemed like he answered casually, but after reading the resolute will contained in it, Strydom swallowed his saliva.
The National Guard, of course, did not come here with good intentions.
It was to remove the unusual thing wriggling in the basement of Hindel Bionic, and I brought equipment with the intention of blowing up the building itself, but as long as Kaidel is guarding the door, that is close to impossible.
“I will tell you the situation first.”
Brief information about the current situation flowed from Strydom’s mouth.
The existence of mutants and the existence of players.
And even the danger of mutants heard through the mouths of such players and Lloyd’s report.
Although each one was something that could not be easily overlooked, Kaidel’s expression did not change.
– Hmm. I guess those weird guys are players. It was a group of people who were intertwined with interesting causality. So anyway?
A voice full of playfulness but strong will rang out.
– That’s no reason for me to break my oath. Even if Luna is destroyed because of it.
“······Well.”
A goal dug through Strydom’s forehead at the unexpected answer.
A superman is a person who imposes his or her image on the world.
It is close to impossible to set up an image and show it to the world, but it is not possible with the general ego to reach the level of forcing the image to the world.
“······Then how about this? What if a company called Hindel Bionic collapses because of a monster underground?”
But if you put anything on your ear, it’s an earring, and if you put it on your nose, it’s a nose ring.
Being the same superman, Strydom knew how to deal with a superman, and this one word could cause a small ripple in Caidel’s hard heart.
– ······ Then the story will be different.
Strydom clenched his fists involuntarily.

“aaa!”
A voice filled with joy flowed from Dane’s mouth as he stared blankly at his mother with his arms wide open.
Dung, Dung, Dung, Dung.
The echo of the mother body moving more passionately than ever was the gospel.
“You are delighted. mother! To give birth to the strongest child!”
Rupert’s body, which was accepted inside rather than an external cocoon, was evolving in real time, and the results of accepting and analyzing everything of Rupert were spreading to all mutants.
Wood Deuk.
A bizarre sound echoed from Dane’s body, and it was only for a while that his body bulged here and there.
“Ohhhhh.”
A faint light appeared on Dane’s hands, and Dane knew its identity at once.
“This is coming. A symbol of the power of a warrior.”
Danes, who are closest to their mothers, were able to accept feedback faster than any other mutants and were able to express their auras.
“The power I longed for so easily… After all, you are a mother!”
Evolution will take place sequentially, starting with mutants at a close distance, and soon all mutants will have strong resistance to auras as well as use auras.
“yes. Your mother is great. Our choice was not wrong.”
Several researchers standing behind such a Dane also had an aura and made faces full of joy.
The researchers, who all had blue complexions, didn’t look much different from before they mutated, but that was only their appearance.
They are no longer a human species.
“Some of them are disappointing. I couldn’t stand it.”
“That can’t be helped.”
The researchers shook their heads at Dane’s words.
Gambling with 60% odds.
Of course, there were also those who failed, and their bodies were distorted and absorbed into the mother body.
“How much is left?”
Although they have mutated into mutants, they are originally researchers.
The intelligence they possessed did not disappear, and they began to exert their abilities for the sake of the mutant species, including their mothers.
“About half. Mother is cheering up, but her energy is lacking.”
Someone heard Dane’s sad voice.
“Then you must give me strength.”
The researcher answered in a firm voice and reached out to the monitoring machine.
Wooddeuk.
The ordinary-looking hand was greatly twisted and turned into dozens of tentacles, and the tentacles that stretched out vigorously began to operate the keyboard attached to the machine in a flamboyant manner.
“It draws energy from power generation facilities. All but the basic defense system of the head office.”
“It’s okay. Still, the headquarters building has to stand. I’m hacking around Let’s draw all the energy that can be drawn.”
Kwajik!
The researcher, who tore off a cable the size of a human torso with a light hand, casually lifted the cable with the bouncing charge and approached the body.
“It will sting a little. mother.”
Pujik.
With the sound of flesh tearing, the cable dug into the body began to supply an enormous amount of current, and the resonance of the body grew even louder.
“We need to fortify it. This is our cradle. There must be no foreign invasion.”
One researcher’s torso split open, and secretions began pouring like a flood, covering the inner walls of the nest.
“We need more troops. More troops to hold out until the boss is born!”
A researcher who was pacing around muttering got a hand in a cocoon connected to the mother body, and the mother body, in response to the researcher’s intention, transformed the cocoon.
Uji support position.
The cocoon, transformed to the size of a house, opened its mouth wide, and the researcher smiled brightly at it and nodded, and lightly lifted the large cage that was sitting on one side of the cave.
I’m sorry.
Although decontamination was carried out, various animals that were dying in the miasma of the cave made faint cries, and the researcher looked at them with pity.
“yes. Be patient a little. Now we will be reborn as our brothers.”
Kwadeuk.
The researcher who tore off the cage with his bare hands threw the animals into the cocoon with rough hands, and the cocoon greedily swallowed the animals closed its mouth.
Wooddeuk.
The researcher nodded as he watched the animals rapidly begin to mutate with a bizarre sound.
Since it is a rapid mutation, there is no intellect and the fighting power is very simple, but it should be possible to drag out the time.
And that time will be the touchstone that their paper will rise on the rock.
“Mother, I made a blueprint.”
The brain of a researcher who majored in biology worked extraordinarily and formed a life full of all kinds of malice, and the mother body accepted that opinion and started to divide.
Dung, Dung, Dung, Dung.
Now that enormous energy is being concentrated on the mother body to the extent that a single company is dedicated to it, based on that energy, the mother body started vigorous cell division, and cocoons rose from everywhere in real time, just like bamboo shoots grow.
wajik.
The mother body, which seemed to remain the same forever, increased in size, and the tentacles that stretched out in all directions covered the entire cave.
“Now you’ve got the assortment right.”
Covered in tentacles and secretions, it was a sight that made you feel sick just looking at it, but Dane and the researchers looked more relaxed than ever.
“It’s barely enough to say it’s a treat. We still have a long way to go. At least it has to be at a rare level to be able to say that the foundation has been established.”
At the words of one researcher, everyone nodded in agreement.
Their species is just in its infancy.
As always in the natural world, new species are bound to be hostile to existing species, and only when they overcome such persecution and acknowledge their cradle can they be said to have been incorporated into this existing order.
“It’s an important time. We need to get our rights recognized and take our place in this Luna full of humans. Of course it won’t be easy.”
Although he abandoned humans and transformed into a species called mutants, the knowledge and thoughts he had originally did not go anywhere.
It was not that difficult to predict the future of the species as researchers with extraordinary brains enough to work in corporations.
“I have to show my strength first. At the same time, the number of siblings increases. And after that time.”
The corners of the researcher’s mouth widened and blade-like teeth rose.
“We will become the ruling species of this land.”
All the mutants laughed along with Dane, who smiled brightly.
