“You know that World Federation and Bloody Kingdom are tuning level S, right?”


  “Yes.”


  There are only 5 level S missions. There are so few of them that they aren’t really tuning them. Because of the mission difficulty, they need to tie various sources of information together and consider the hundreds and thousands of cases to come up with the best operation.

  But what would happen if the two powers chose one mission at the same time?

  The one that chooses first gets it. If they are late, all of their efforts would be for naught. They are on bad terms like cats and dogs, so they cannot know when they will be going into missions and they have to secure their missions.

  “We barely finished a few days ago. There was so much tension between the Rankers.”


  World Federation still has the most power, but Bloody Kingdom can’t be underestimated because they also has about half of that.

  “What did Bloody Kingdom choose?”


  “Africa.”


  “That was weak.”


  Africa is the territory of Parasite King, who ate Cruel King.

  Parasite King is the weakest of the level 9s, so they get less reward points as well.

  Even so, it is just less for a level S.

  There are 150 billion reward points for a level S related to Parasite King. This isn’t even comparable to level A.

  When Cha Jun Sung was named Asura, he was given 100 billion reward points because the mission ended once he stopped killing.

  Parasite King is a helminth. Tens of thousands can live together, so all of that was converted into points. Cha Jun Sung predicts that there aren’t many useful mutants near Parasite King. This is because a big storm passed through here.

  Cruel King and those under level 8 all died in a war with White Queen. But there will be some hidden deep here and there.

  But it is relatively behind other continents.

  In the continent right above, Europe, White Queen always has at least 5 level 8s near her. There isn’t a single weak one.

  World Federation and Bloody Kingdom won’t be able to complete it alone.

  Maybe if they unite.

  But there’s no way they would do that.

  Bloody Kingdom can’t know the details of Africa’s situation, so it seems they used the low reward points and mission description as the standard.

  To measure difficulty by reward points, the order is Asia, Europe, the sea, South America, and Africa. It is a whopping 250 to 230 billion points.

  It is a definite result.

  Black Lord knows what Life Mission is.

  There’s no way he would leave it alone for their power to be dissipated and defeated. This is something that White Queen could also know if she talks to Black Lord.

  10 years passed.

  They are smart, so it is inevitable that they would try to gather information on these Lifers who are trying to kill them.

  “What about World Federation?”


  “We took Asia and Europe out of the running because they’re burdensome. Our goal is the sea or South America. We’re in the middle of internal meetings.”


  “Both of them?”


  “One of the two.”


  Both missions have clear pros and cons.

  It is difficult to decide which is better and worse by conditions like reward points, environment, and the presence of level 8s.

  The biggest pro for the Sea God mission is of course the Albatrus. The cons are the high reward points and environmental issues.

  The Bon Load mission pro is that the chance he is alone is high. In Three Evil Bones, his three sons died along with a few other level 8s living in the Amazon. This lessened the burden.

  The con is that Lifers would be going up against Bon Load bare bodied.

  There is no end to calculating pros and cons. They could spend all night.

  “If the location tracker on Sea God had been activated……”


  Cha Jun Sung smacked his lips.

  He is the only one who can track it because he is the one who put the tracker on. But it’s useless because he can’t enter the mission. He hadn’t expected this to happen, so it is more bitter.

  Life Mission will be tracking its location.

  The ocean is vast.

  It is more than twice the size of the six continents combined. It is a huge effort to find where the Sea God lives inside of that. They don’t know whether it will take months or years. It could become a search without results.

  “It would have been good if we could have made two or three more Albastruses.”


  “I’ll say.”


  Life Mission restricts them to one Albatrus. This is because it takes up too much energy to move it into the mission.

  If location tracking and additional production had been possible for the Alabtrus, the World Federation would have chosen Sea God without a second thought.

  “The way I see it, Strategist will choose the Bon Load mission.”


  Strategist has been investigating the Amazon’s ecosystem and terrain for the past few months. The Amazon is tiny compared to the ocean.

  If the location tracking device had been activated properly, if they had been able to produce more Alabtruses, they would have easily chosen the Sea God mission.

  They thought that a single Alabtrus could do its worth, but there was less and less of a difference between the Sea God and Bon Load mission as it lost its merits.

  He was creating a map of the Amazon that took factors like environment and familiarity into account.

  World Federation Lifers are only going into missions near the Amazon. They are acting as Strategist’s hands and feet.

  After gathering bits of information like this, they searched about 30% of the Amazon directly and indirectly.

  They couldn’t find where Bon Load is living, but there are a few places that they find plausible. Searching was dangerous by Lifer skill, so they put a stop to it.

  They intend on searching each after making a final decision at their general meeting.

  “Bon Load. He’ll be strong.”


  “Him too?”


  “Come to think of it, you never told us how many level 9s you’ve come into contact with while going through missions. Though I’ve never seen Bon Load.”


  Violet’s eyes grow round with surprise.

  Her helmet is off, so her beautiful eyes captured Cha Jun Sung.

  He has become a mutant, but he still has the aesthetic criteria of humans.

  Cha Jun Sung explained briefly.

  Because he had been hiding something, he hadn’t been able to tell them anything properly and he hadn’t felt the need to.

  “I was lucky but also because I could go into high difficulty missions. Those opportunities arose. That meant it was inevitable that I saw a lot of new things.”


  Violet saw Sea God as well.

  Her heart almost stopped. But Cha Jun Sung saw a few others. This is the first time she’s hearing this.

  “How strong was he?”


  “It’s hard to say……”


  There isn’t an absolute standard, but Cha Jun Sung made an approximation by comparing with his own strength.

  “If three level S Lifers and I take on Black Lord together, there’s a high possibility we’ll lose. But White Queen seems possible.”


  “We’ll need one or two more if we want to win.”


  “Right.”


  He doesn’t recommend that they enter at this moment.

  The sacrifice of level A Lifers will be large. They need to supplement where level S Lifers lack. Cha Jun Sung left out only what the supervisors had sworn him to secrecy, and told her everything. This information will get to Strategist, too.

  ‘As long as missions are maintained, the fact is whether they will attack or not.’


  He doesn’t care about other mutants. Cha Jun Sung was only concerned about Black Lord.

  More than not wanting him to die, he would feel strange if he died. So he only gave all the information he has on White Queen.

  “So that means the Black Lord and White Queen missions are impossible.”


  World Federation is at an advantage if it is just White Queen and Inferno’s group. It isn’t just quantity but also quality. They won’t lose if they push through.

  But it is obvious that there will be level 5 and 7 mutants near them.

  Creating a battle with quantity while the head is being pushed means defeat. What if White Queen doesn’t create a frontal confrontation? If she sends a powerful mutant in to hit them and fall out, there’s no solution.

  Violet’s expression is heavy. Cha Jun Sung read her mind.

  With Life Mission at first, they entered missions, completed them, and it was over.

  But the worldview grew more and more complicated.

  It was like that with level A but once they got to level S, it grew more complicated when they needed to use their head as the scale of the war grew bigger. It wasn’t an issue of entering and returning like it used to be.

  Beep beep!

  An alarm rings from his wrist.

  Cha Jun Sung looks down at his PDA. He had gotten a message from someone.

  Why is he getting in contact this time?

  He met periodically with Jigneon once every few months. All he did was ask how he was doing. There was nothing beyond that.

  “What is it?”


  “Something’s come up, so I have to get going.”


  “Alright. Then I’ll leave first. What should I tell Strategist?”


  “A search…… Tell him I’ll help.”


  Cha Jun Sung’s limit is level B anyway. He gets sanctioned if a special mission is activated and it becomes level A.

  Woong!

  Violet goes back.

  As soon as she left, a gate to Jigneon appeared in front of Cha Jun Sung.

  It is straight.

  Phew!

  Cha Jun Sung sighed and went into the gate.

  He doesn’t have to go. But he goes with a sliver of hope that some of his sanctions might be lifted.
