57. Attack of Morgan and Eridanus, Gathering Heroes and Villains
Through the data I understood exactly what the device was.
“It was an ability extractor.”
“Huh.”
Lena used the secondary monitor to check the device’s blueprint.
“The Dark Kingdom made something interesting. It is a machine in which monsters absorb the abilities of human beings.”
“fun? Does this look interesting, Lena?”
“I don’t know what happened, but don’t be angry with me. The target is wrong.”
What he said was not wrong. I got excited.
Shin Yoo-gyeong, damn bitch.
It’s not a reinforcement device, but it’s plugged in and it’s going to be a situation.
“It makes sense that there were many bodies at the scene. The Kingdom of Darkness wouldn’t have separated the capable and the non-powered and threw them into the machine. Ordinary people could not stand it and all would have died.”
“The ability extracted was transferred to the machine on the other side. After that, it seems to have been distributed to the monsters of the Dark Kingdom. Unfortunately we can’t use it. It seems to require special energy or magic.”
“After defeating Vedivides, the number of advanced combatants decreased noticeably. The Dark Kingdom was making advanced combatants with abilities extracted from human abilities.”
It’s all in the past, but the cause and effect are understood.
On the one hand, I was a little relieved.
At least, I found proof that So-mi didn’t die in great pain.
It must have been a blink of an eye.
Her body would be disassembled into atomic units in an instant, and only her abilities would have been delivered to the headquarters where Dark Arthur was through a magic pass or something.
“for a moment. Then it’s a bit strange.”
Somi’s ability is the rainbow snake, Yurung.
In mythology, it is a dragon belonging to the creator god who lived in rivers and made lakes and mountains by sending rain.
When it comes to heroic activities, she prefers to use firearms. I heard that custom bullets are easy to capture the power of the rainbow.
But since then, I have never seen monsters from the Dark Kingdom use that ability.
Dark, of course.
Did you convert it into stats and distribute it?
“Or do you mean there is more behind the scenes that I don’t know about?”
I took everything I could from the ruins of the Dark Kingdom. It seems that there is no more information that can be gathered.
No, this should end here.
There is no time to worry about old things forever. Instead, finding the whereabouts of Choi Min-seo and Shin Yoo-gyeong, who had fled, is the first priority.
The two have not been able to find their way even in the association. Rather than neglecting the risk factors that are difficult to control, I would rather deal with them and use them as experience points for Vengeance.
It is better to leave Ji Se-hwa and Kang Ye-rin as long as they are heroes belonging to the association. The advantage of defeating the Galactic Empire is sucked from this side, and the balance is good to hand over to the heroes.
Of course, that would be unnecessary if the S-Squadron Wars progressed and the Villain Alliance was unified, and even Washington was obtained.
“Are you having bad thoughts again?”
“Isn’t that what villains always do?”
“then. It was a compliment. Don’t forget the debt you owe me. Even now, interest is accumulating every day, so consider it.”
“What is the interest rate?”
“It’s a floating rate.”
“It’s arbitrary.”
Lena said “Whoops” and let out a devilish laugh.
While doing so, Lua walked into the hideout. He was drenched in sweat and looked quite tired.
“Lua?”
“I’m back, Zeo.”
Lua greeted me with a calm voice.
“Are you not quarreling with me today?”
“What kind of dog am I? I know my subject.”
“It’s a big deal.”
Lua glanced at Lena.
“… If I become stronger than Lena, I will bet as much as I want.”
It was then. Deep Dive displayed the video on the hall’s main monitor.
“Suzanne. The big ones are here.”
We all checked it out. A screen split in two. One shows a building like a drilling base on the sea. the other is a stream
“two?”
“huh. It’s two.”
zoom in. it is on the sea side A female monster like a werewolf-like monster, Saint Eridanus, is raiding with a bunch of high-level combatants.
“Do you know where it is? It’s Zeo.”
“It’s an undersea prison.”
It is an undersea prison in the East Sea to which SSS-level villains were transferred from the United States a while ago.
Why did you raid that place?
It’s a place where there are a lot of talented people who would be my subordinates, but they’re bothering me.
the other side. Downtown is in Seoul. When I saw the executive who had fallen there, I made the decision right away without any hesitation.
“Lena, Lua. Lead your men and head for the Undersea Prison. Defeat Eridanus and accept the villains as subordinates. Anyone who refuses to be executed immediately.”
“Jeo?”
“I’m going to have a one-on-one with that guy.”
I pointed to the city cadre.
Large horns sprouting from both sides of the head.
alluring face. It seems that the exhausted eyes are looking at me beyond the camera.
Morgan.
I had to meet him.

where did it go wrong
what did i do wrong
Ji Se-hwa locked herself in her room, staring at nothing but empty space like a disabled person.
The title of honorable blue was taken away. Her hero name returned to Ocean Saber before becoming S Squadron.
In the association of six people, there are only Kang Ye-rin and her two.
There is no Dragon King Sentai anymore.
Facing that reality, Ji Se-hwa realized it then. It wasn’t the bank account balance that gave you a sense of security. That the Dragon King’s Warden was his home.
Come to think of it, when I accepted death three years ago, it was also when the funk disintegrated.
“… See, I was lying to myself.”
Ji Se-hwa once again confirmed how stupid he was.
His subconscious was telling him that the Dragon King’s Warship was precious, but he ignored it. He considered that only the S squadron title and the privileges that came with it were all.
He betrayed Jung Eui-suk, who was in the way, under an unreasonable cause.
In fact, that Jeongui-seok was nothing more than the entirety of the Dragon King’s squadron.
“I was scared.”
Ji Se-hwa did not like Han So-mi. Even in a situation where everyone was exhausted from the battle with the Dark Kingdom, it was annoying that he was sober alone and that he had a skill second only to Jung Eui-seok.
And since he occupied the side of Chung Eui-seok, he felt that he was a member of the guest family living in the house of Jeong Eui-seok and Han So-mi.
Even so, he did not hate her as much as Choi Min-seo. There was a perception that he was an ally.
That’s why he was afraid that Chung Eui-seok would find out the truth after that incident.
Because obviously he wouldn’t forgive me.
That’s why I thought I was more interested in the suggestion of the president of the association.
“… It doesn’t make any sense.”
It was too late to realize. You can convey this feeling by subduing Chung Eui-seok, and the stage of apologizing has already passed.
“My brother killed me… I did it.”
Horror ran through his body. Ji Se-hwa hugged her shoulder. He was a person who always kept the words that came out of his mouth. Right now, I’m just keeping it alive to make it hurt more.
“no no. I don’t want to die for my brother.”
The pain is familiar. No one feels guilty.
But if the opponent is Chung Eui-seok.
This situation, in which he sincerely hated himself, was so painful.
“What… No, what should I do… .”
Ji Se-hwa trembled and raised her right hand. I looked at the nails that had barely healed. Then, slowly, he took the mechanical left hand and squeezed it.
Let’s increase the intensity little by little. Red blood began to ooze out.
“Brother, what should I do… ? Uiseok brother… .”
pop.
The fragile fingernails that couldn’t hold on were fragmented, and red flesh began to show from below.

“Sehwa, are you inside?”
Kang Ye-rin knocked for a long time, but there was no answer, so she forced Ji Se-hwa’s door open. I was worried about Ji Se-hwa, who hadn’t eaten for several days already.
“Sehwa. Fine… .”
Kang Ye-rin, who took a step inside, shut her mouth when she saw Ji Se-hwa.
Ji Se-Hwa stares blankly at the tip of her right hand after harming herself. Her bedsheets were already stained red.
“Mr. Sehwa!”
Kang Ye-rin immediately called the medical team. Ji Se-hwa slowly turned her gaze toward her.
“… Yerin Kang. You knew from the start.”
“What?”
“… Oppa and we are done.”
“Yeah… It’s natural. At first, I thought it would be nice to have a chance.”
“… What should I do?”
“You are a hero. We must keep the peace.”
“… hero?”
Ji Se-hwa made a bizarre expression with only the corners of her mouth slightly wriggling.
“A hero like me… flaw.”
Ji Se-hwa threw something at Kang Ye-rin. Kang Ye-rin caught it. It was the switch of the Rongominiad once used by Chung Eui-seok.
“I’m done. I will retire.”
“Sehwa-san.”
“I can’t eat it. I don’t want to have any more crappy associations like this.”
Kang Ye-rin walked and stood in front of Ji Se-hwa. Ji Se-hwa avoided Kang Ye-rin’s eyes. Kang Ye-rin lowered her head and faced her directly.
“You’re thinking of going to die.”
“… What are you talking about.”
“How long have we been together?”
“With only three years… .”
“I haven’t fallen a day in three years.”
Ji Se-hwa shut her mouth. Kang Ye-rin stretched out both hands and turned Ji Se-hwa’s face so that it met her eyes.
“It is an order. When you die, die as a hero.”
Ji Se-hwa carefully scanned Kang Ye-rin’s face.
An illusion arose as if the faces I had seen once overlapped.
“… crazy year. What do you say to the injured person?”
“I was afraid I would go out and hit someone else.”
Saying that, Kang Ye-rin smiled lightly.
“flaw. Bitches who are good at studying are so unlucky.”
Ji Se-hwa showed her teeth. After looking into each other’s eyes for a while, the two transformants rang.
The screen announced the appearance of two officers of the Galactic Empire.
“song. To live, not to die.”
“I know even if you don’t say anything.”
The two stood up from their seats.
***
“Doctor Sun!!!”
Dr. Sun, rushing to the intruder alert, saw her and disarmed the guards.
“Silver Mirror. No, now you are Mr. Banwolgyeong.”
Dr. Sun maintained a gentlemanly tone to Shin Yoo-gyeong, who was a mess. Shin Yoo-kyung staggered and approached him.
“pad! Give me all the pads! I will kill you. Jung Eui-seok, Vengeance, and all the guys who annoy me!”
Dr. Sun nodded.
“You came at the right time. It just happened that the new models were completed.”
Dr. Sun activated the terminal and smiled lightly.
