＜ Episode 165 ＞
The early days when Veyron was building Luna.
There were setbacks and sacrifices along with countless difficulties.
Those who survived the mayhem of the Great War were all extremely strong, but even they could not avoid making sacrifices under the harsh environment.
The pain of seeing colleagues collapsing while discussing the future together, crossing life and death was indescribable, and more than anything, there was a serious problem.
A time when everything was lacking.
Human life was also a resource, and as those resources dwindled, the shoulders of those who remained grew heavier.
Those who remained agonized, and eventually they reached out to the forbidden realm.
It raises the dead.
The period of the Great War was the time when all human skills and abilities were at their peak.
Reviving the dead was not difficult, and thus the Prototype Executor was born.
***
The appearance of the bailiffs surrounding John did not change, but John could tell at once that their appearance had changed.
– You have good eyesight.
Still, there was a mechanical sound that was still cold and low, but how can I explain the small emotion contained in it.
remorse, despair, sadness.
The mechanical sound full of negative emotions seemed to make their appearance even more grotesque.
– As you said, we are people who were once human.
In Luna, it is all too common to have body parts replaced with implants.
It wasn’t uncommon to change more than 90% of the body beyond parts of the human body into machines, and John’s opponent, Doyle, turned everything into machines except for parts of his brain and spine.
“…that means he was human.”
However, they also have human rights and are called humans, and everyone in Luna does not hesitate to call them humans.
If it’s ambiguous, it’s ambiguous, but if you have a soul, Luna is what defines you as a human being.
But the bailiffs are saying that they are not human.
– There are people who gave up on being human on their own, and there are also people who gave up on being human out of necessity.
– Everything is for Luna’s stability.
– Be subdued with ease. fixer.

Machine sounds with no pitch in succession resonated in John’s ears, and the emotion contained in his voice oppressed his whole body.
All sorts of positive emotions such as pride, sense of duty, superiority, and sense of achievement distorted the surroundings, and became a practical force and exerted momentum, but John’s sense of observing the other side of the world beyond the microscopic world was unable to capture a tightly hidden emotion. there was.
John’s brain went into high-speed thinking, and their emotions, their current body, and the meaning of the word non-human harmonized to draw a conclusion.
“······Right.”
A cold sneering smile appeared on his lips, and the fixer straightened up.
The suddenly changed momentum made the bodies of the executive officers flinch.
“After all, you guys are the losers.”
– ······You’d better be careful with your words.
The sound of the machine, filled with more passionate emotions than anything John had heard, made the listener’s heart terrify, but John’s expression did not change because he confirmed that his conclusion was correct.
“Those who wanted to become superhuman, but failed to become superhuman. Didn’t he eventually abandon humans and completely become one with machines, gaining the power of an executor?”
One emotion that was hidden deep in the words of the executioners.
complex.
Although it was packaged with a sense of superiority and mission, he did not lose sight of the underlying inferiority feeling, which was certainly very strange.
The enforcers were the ones who controlled all of Luna’s superhumans, and it was hard to understand that they felt inferior looking at John when they actually had such powers.
With hints like this, it’s not that difficult to draw conclusions, and John is an expert at putting the pieces together to complete information.
“Since he is covered with adamantium, most of his abilities will not work, and since he has become one with the machine and excluded his soul, he will be strong against mental attacks.”
John’s eyes, looking at the other side, scanned the entire body of the Executioners, and at that moment, John was able to know the source of the Executioners’ power.
“Not to mention power, advanced science, sorcery, and magic must have been concentrated in that body. I don’t know how to do it, but it’s possible to use the ability from before life. It will be difficult for even the most superhuman to deal with you guys.”
The technology of the great war that enabled the golem to use its abilities was applied to the bodies of the executioners, and if so, isn’t it a story that other technologies were also applied?
An adamantium body, immense muscle strength without limits, abilities that are not superhuman, but with output comparable to that, and a body with various advanced technologies applied.
The Executioner is an existence that can be said to be the natural enemy of those with abilities.
Superhumans who force their images into the world are no different.
Superman would have a good chance of winning if they competed alone, but the executioner never went alone.
The more they gather, the more synergy occurs, so in the end, the superhumans in Luna will have no choice but to hold their breath.
– Then you know that resistance is meaningless, right?
Both arms fell off, the armor covering the whole body, as well as the mask fell off, showing a grotesque true face, but there is no shame.
The face integrated with the machine did not change even a single expression, and the sound of the machine still pierced my ears, but it was full of superiority.
In the end, executive officers are those who were born to subdue those with abilities and deal with superhumans.
It is at this time when superhumans are suppressed that they become one with machines and barely feel that they are alive, whose emotions have been castrated.
It’s half the same as a golem, so it’s awkward to say that he’s alive, but he knows something like that.
Putting at your feet a superman who seemed nothing but despair.
Luna is overflowing with people with the ability to willingly risk their lives just for the mere low feeling of being able to crush an insurmountable existence.
Isn’t it even overpowering Kaidel?
Although Kaidel’s ability is particularly strong against living things rather than inorganic matter, being able to control such a superhuman means that the Executioner has such a powerful ‘performance’.
Nothing changes.
No matter how much John is a person with unusual abilities, he will not be able to deal with the enforcer as long as he is capable, and they will ‘manage’ another superman again.
One executor suffered functional damage due to severe defiance, but the data has already been updated, and John’s fate is as if it were sealed.
Ugh.
A force field was created from the bodies of the enforcers who surrounded John in a triangle and locked him in.
The force that seemed to distort the space was concentrated on John, and as the nature of the force field exerted according to the updated data was adjusted, John’s body, which had been standing firm, shook once.
Wei Ying.
Three charged particle cannons were aimed at John, and the adjusted output was adjusted to a level that incinerated all of John’s panels.
Defense is pointless.
The expression of the executor who revealed his face was still unchanged, but the red eyes were filled with strange anticipation, and at that time the charged particle cannon was about to melt John.
“sorry but.”
The shoulders of the executioners flinched at John’s calm voice, which seemed to show no pressure or embarrassment.
“You met the wrong person.”
Kwajik!
Along with the horse, the three charged particle cannons that were aiming at John cracked.
***
Pajijijijik!
A crack in the turret that requires intense energy to be concentrated and projected in one direction.
Along the crack, the mighty energy began to run wild, and the overflowing electric charge started running through the bodies of the executioners.
If this energy explodes and spreads in all directions, it is certain that the entire area will be damaged.
– Emergency!
– Control your energy!
– Do not damage the city!
A bewildered mechanical sound rang in all directions, and the egos of the golems connected to the brains of the executioners took emergency measures.
Qurrr!
The muzzle, which was lifted in a hurry with a loud sound, threw energy toward the sky, and it looked like lightning that was supposed to fall from the sky to the ground, heading backwards to the sky.
The darkness receded in an instant with the amount of light as if the sun had risen, and the energy rising into the air seemed to light up the night endlessly, but there is no party that never ends.
The energy pouring out of the muzzle that had barely been lifted had come to an end, and the energy running wildly on the surface of the armor had subsided.
– Situation control complete.
– Carry out emergency recovery.
and that moment.
– boundary! boundary!
The urgent mechanical sound of the executor watching from outside the siege rang, and the gaze of the executor hurriedly turned to John, but John was already attaching himself to one executor.
Took.
As if there was no strength at all, the arm was naturally raised and the open palm touched the executor’s chest.
It was surprising just to put my hand on the body of an enforcer covered in all kinds of barriers and protective magic, but the real surprise came next.
What a bummer!
Could it be that the adamantium started to break apart around the point where John’s hand touched it?
The bailiff’s expression, which seemed to never change, changed at the unbelievable sight, and the smile on John’s face grew even colder.
As the organ worked furiously, it poured out this ability, and through John’s palm, this ability changed the physical properties of the adamantium that forms the Executioner’s armor.
At first, I resisted intensely, but that was only for a moment.
He couldn’t withstand John’s ability to transform adamantium itself, and the armor, which had turned into paper, cracked and fell off on its own, revealing a bizarre flesh.
“Boom!”
Kwareung!
Part of the adamantium, which had changed its form as an explosive, exploded inside the executor, and although it was not nuclear fission, the executor could not withstand the explosion of C4 that exploded inside the body.
– ······Deterioration of function. Checking for damage.
The thin mechanical sound was trying to hold on to the body somehow, but even the executor couldn’t stand it because the remaining body parts were completely blown away and the chest was pierced to the extent that the spine could be seen.
– Kill him.
The two remaining enforcers aimed at John’s back and stretched out their steel fists, aiming for John’s head.
There was no hesitation in his fist, as if he had intended to blow off his head, which is the source of his superpower.
“Huh.”
John’s fingers snapped with a chilly smile and a young, grotesque breath, and at that moment, something slick at John’s feet rose like a wave.
Wow.
With a sound like something sticky, John’s panels of liquid metal wrapped around the Executioners’ hands, and the Executioners, who lost sight of John for a moment, quickly regrouped, but that was enough time for John. .
Quadruped!
John’s hands, which had gone back behind the executioners, touched the back of his back, and John’s hands, digging into his head as if breaking his head, completely severed his cervical vertebrae and spine.
– ······Function stop.
A small explosion that occurred at the same time as severing the spine completely ripped through the body, and that was the end of the situation.
thud!
The executor’s body, which had become a mass of scrap metal, collapsed, and a sound as loud as its weight resonated through the darkness.
Chick.
Tobacco bit into the fixer’s mouth, and it ignited itself.
“after.”
White smoke permeated through the darkness, and the gaze, which flashed with dark red light, was directed to one place.
An enforcer standing with both arms missing and a grotesque face revealed.
Seeing the executor’s stiff expression, John smiled brightly and opened his mouth.
“I told you.”
crackle.
The tobacco turned to dust and disappeared.
“I met the wrong person.”
His tone was full of sarcasm, but the bailiff couldn’t reply.
