Allies who can’t be controlled aren’t much different from the enemy. If he pursues just the results, they will be ruined. They need the patience to wait.
Borteth frowns at Jigneon giving him a sermon. He is extremely annoyed, but he cannot ignore him like he did with Gabenu.
“Fine. Let me ask one thing. How were you going to take responsibility if Cha Jun Sung had died? You would have wasted a special sample from our study.”
“Responsibility? What responsibility are you talking about? If he dies, he dies. Don’t we have plenty of Lifers anyway? The 36 Rankers will become level A Lifers soon, too.”
Borteth refuses to listen, so Gabenu sighs. He is so single-minded, only thinking of himself.
Even Gabenu thinks that they need to take Cha Jun Sung all the way. If he dies, they will have lost a level S Lifer, which they aren’t sure they’ll get again.
He may have skipped some steps with the advanced store opening card, but his fighting ability surpasses level A. He has the ability to take on a level A advance mission, so he might as well be called a level S Lifer.
If the 3 officers want to, they can create as many level S and A Lifers as they pleased. They can just release the restrictions on the store like they did with missions. But they don’t have enough items to give out to so many Lifers, so there wouldn’t be use for so many advanced Lifers anyway.
It is like taking an exam while looking at the answer sheet. They cannot experiment with Lifers without differentiation, as if they were products created in a factory.
Life Mission was created as a long term project of experimenting between Lifers and mutants for about 10 years. Not even half that time has passed. They cannot begin to stray from their path already.
“You have no signs of being sorry. Then I’ll ask in another way. Do you admit that you used the Heavy Gravity arbitrarily and forced a Lifer?”
“Yes.”
“You’ve broken a rule that we created, that you agreed with yourself. With the authority as General Manager, I take you out from experiments for a few months.”
Gabenu was more surprised than Borteth, who had received the punishment. It is just a few months, but he hadn’t expected Jigneon to take Borteth away from the front.
“Be grateful we don’t report this to the top, and reflect on your actions.”
Borteth grinds his teeth. It’s so loud that Jigneon and Gabenu can hear, but he does not disrespect them.
Borteth isn’t such a lightweight as to find fault in position.
“Go. Gabenu and I need to hold our meeting about the rest of the agenda.”
Borteth glares at Jigneon, slightly bows his head, and gets on the dimensional gate. He is the General Manager. He cannot act out of line just because he is angry. He did not even acknowledge Gabenu before leaving.
“Will it be okay? There’s no way he’ll behave with his personality.”
“I don’t think he’ll listen to me either. This is just a strong warning I’m giving him.”
Gabenu spoke respectfully to Jigneon unlike Borteth, and Jigneon also maintained formalities toward him. It means that they respect each other.
Borteth had the ability to participate in the meeting taken away by the General Manager’s authority, but he intends to engage with Life Mission in his own way.
However, he will refrain from acting arbitrarily for the time being since he has been reprimanded.
“Sometimes, it looks like you look out for Cha Jun Sung, Jigneon.”
“Look out for him? That’s not how I would put it, but I guess I would say it’s similar. He’s the one who provides the most information for headquarters. Alright! Let’s move past this. Isn’t there something else that’s important?”
Wiing!
A large hologram shows them North America. They are not looking at the current situation. They are looking at what happened in the past again. They examine the hologram without speaking. It shows someone fighting with Benukiz and killing Vanessa.
But they couldn’t see who they are, as if they were in mosaic. This is proof that they are fooling the satellite’s eye. That is impossible. The satellites installed on Earth are created from their current technology, on an entirely different level from the technology of the old world.
They use this to keep track of mutant locations and construct or reconstruct missions. They can see anything they are looking at clearly.
“There isn’t even an item in the level S store that can help someone avoid the satellites.”
“I’m suspicious about that too.”
They have to watch the Lifers. They wouldn’t have made something like that.
The 3 officers, their scientists, and the helpers did not even touch items that would act at a disadvantage to the system.
“We won’t be able to find this man, will we?”
“No. He’s gone missing ever since he killed Vanessa.”
“This isn’t a matter that we can just move past. From the report… creating this equipment is possible. With our technology, not the technology of Earth.”
Jigneon considered the number of cases, but there isn’t a clear measure.
It seems like they will have to dig into it over time rather than trying to solve it immediately.
This kind of variable isn’t welcome because it isn’t predictable.
“Let’s move on. Next?”
“It’s the type 5226 cocoon that formed in Africa. A level 8 parasite has succeeded in getting into Cruel King’s body, and is developing.”
The hologram changes.
They can see Parasite King’s cocoon. It has been over a year since it became a cocoon, but it still isn’t waking up.
Mutants of various colors gather near the cocoon. There are thousands of them. They have both the purposes of acting as protection and nutrients.
The mutants providing nutrients are mostly blood-sucking insects the size of a human head. They follow the Blood King’s orders and burn their bodies to fill the cocoon’s appetite.
“Which guarding mutant is the strongest?”
“Red Eye and Inferno, Blood King, Beholder. It seems like White Empress and Black Demon predicted the cocoon would be a problem, and sent them out.”
“A Disaster might be difficult for those four, but they will have more power than something similar to Vanessa. It’s the best combination. I can tell they put a lot of thought into it.”
If Red Eye and Inferno, and Blood King take on the close combat encounters while Beholder brings a psychological attack from behind, they are a force to be reckoned with.
On top of that, Blood King has countless armies through Blood Devil. They could push through with volume alone.
“Is that a level 9 if it wakes up?”
“When calculating the virus level, it isn’t as if there is no possibility, but it does seem like it will be difficult for it to become a Disaster. We expect it to be something like Vanessa.”
“Whatever it is, I guess we just have to wait and let time tell.”
“Waiting is our specialty.”
“Huh? So that’s how it sounds.”
“We can solve North America and Africa while we watch Cha Jun Sung’s mutation. There is a lot of mystery. I think it’ll be fun.”
“What about Cha Jun Sung’s sanctions?”
“I think it’d be better if we don’t apply them. Odin is bringing up laws and resisting. Though he has become a mutant, it seems there are no problems with his sanity. What do you think about leaving him alone for now?”
“Alright. There’s an order to things. We have a lot of time, so let’s go slowly.”
Jigneon and Gabenu ended their meeting, boarded the dimensional gate, and went back to their respective domains. They have a ton of work to take care of.
Borteth returns to his laboratory and throws everything within his reach. It would be an appropriate expression to say he turned everything over.
The laboratory is full of quality items though monetary standards are different from those on Earth, but he pays no mind and uses them all to vent his anger. He did not stop with his selfishness and dirty nature until everything was devastated, but he was still fuming.
“Those damn rules! Rules! They need to use all means and methods if they want results! How long must we stay entangled in order and procedure?!”
Even in Borteth’s eyes, Cha Jun Sung is an impressive Lifer. But it doesn’t mean he’s irreplaceable. There are quite a number of Lifers who could take his place.
Life Mission’s virtual version is like a training center for the reality version. It’s a system in which talent can bloom because the reality was created with a foundation.
Luck is necessary in body and battlesuit modifications, but luck is also a skill.
Frankly, Cha Jun Sung skipped advancement with an opening card. He became a level S Lifer with shortcuts. He hadn’t gone through the normal process. Borteth’s stance is that the 36 Rankers can advance as much as Cha Jun Sung has if the officers give them a little help.
He broke the rules with total interference, but he achieved that much in results. What he had earned through Cha Jun Sung wasn’t bad. That’s why he says that it doesn’t matter if Cha Jun Sung dies. There has to be another person with abilities like Cha Jun Sung’s in a planet with a population of billions.
World Federation and Bloody Kingdom are trying level B advancement right now.
They have put completion as their goal at the end of significant sacrifice. There will be a clear separation between winners and losers, but there will be quite an increase in the number of level A Lifers.
“Jigneon and Gabenu – I’m positive they’re working together against me!”
This is the way Borteth sees the world.
What he sees is what he gets. If he sees it from the side, he understands it as from the side. If he sees it backwards, he understands it as backwards. Misled values make him see his bad behavior as justified, and others’ just actions as bad.
“I’m a creator. I’m one of the three creators of Life Mission.”
Creator – it is misleading to say it means God, but it is not wrong.
