There will be an end as long as she is a living being, so he can last for a long time with the Miracle’s formidable energy and a level 9’s stamina.

  This is the problem. He can win just by lasting like this.

  If the difference between level 8 and 9 is severe, the difference with level 10 will be even worse. He covered that difference with the Miracle, but this is lukewarm.

  To think that this is a fight he can win with endurance.

  For a level 10’s ability to end with just splitting.

  Cha Jun Sung knows Evil Queen well. That can’t be all.

  She could be hiding somewhere and preparing something. She’s plenty capable of doing something like that.

  This third awakening could be an excuse and she could be testing Cha Jun Sung’s power with her splitting ability.

  ‘Or she’s chipping away at my energy.’


  He isn’t tired, but he and the Miracle experienced at least a 1% decrease in condition.

  Chasing tails, he has this kind of thought:

  If her intention is to chip away at his energy, it is a loss for her as well.

  Is he fighting alone?

  As Cha Jun Sung’s power decreases, her power decreases proportionally.

  It takes an enormous amount of energy and nutrients to produce all of those alters. Following the flow of the battle, Evil Queen’s side is taking the damage.

  “Odin. How is it?”


  [It’s just a guess, but Evil Queen’s strength could be maintained.]

  When Cha Jun Sung goes into direct battle, Odin takes auxiliary control for the Miracle and observes Evil Queen from afar.

  [The two fused into one. That also means they are two. Combining all of the information sent by Lifers, Bon Load is with Evil Queen’s nucleus. If that splitting ability is Bon Load’s and only his nutrients are being consumed, Evil Queen herself will be fine.] [Rather than dividing between the barriers of the first, second, and third awakening, it is important to see which one follows which being’s characteristics. Analyzing the patterns until now, first and third are Bon Load and only the second is Evil Queen. How could it be that only Bon Load is twice when the subject is Evil Queen?]

  “Evil Queen is twice too?”


  [She could go back to her original power after consuming Lifer Cha Jun Sung’s energy with Bon Load’s strength that is irrelevant to her own.]

  “Does that mean she would go back to her second awakened state?”


  [She could show her characteristic in her third awakened state. Of course all of this is in the case if Evil Queen is hiding her strength.]

  He is right.

  If that really is Evil Queen and Bon Load’s strength unlike their tremendous expectations, Odin’s guess becomes completely worthless.

  But if it is true, they showed each of their characteristics in the first and second awakening, which means the third state has both.

  It also means that they are hiding one and only showing one.

  Cha Jun Sung’s hand was changed into a skewer, stabbing all of the Evil Queens that come at him from ahead. The Miracle spreads out through the stabbed part.

  Particles in the nanometer unit explored the inside.

  They are analyzing the biological characteristics of mutant Evil Queen. This is something that is impossible even with a level S battlesuit, but the Miracle can do it.

  The split Evil Queens were so similar it was like looking at twins.

  In contrast, there was a faint difference of genes inside the shell. This is a results of analyzing all of the alters that Cha Jun Sung and Odin came into contact with.

  [There are two kinds of genes; I will just arbitrarily call them gamma and delta. As a result of analyzing patterns, there is a 10 to 15% difference in the two individuals’ abilities. The interesting thing is that the difference in ability shows their classes. I have concluded that gamma gives orders to delta.] [If you look at Evil Queen’s layout on the hologram, delta goes forward and gamma is positioned in the back. There are about 10 deltas to one gamma.]

  In Lifer numbers, it is like party members to a party leader.

  This means that there could be force, raid, and core leaders somewhere.

  “How about alpha and beta?”


  Odin skipped over alpha and beta, and expressed the Evil Queens in only gamma and delta.

  Cha Jun Sung picked out that aspect specifically and asked about it.

  [Alpha is the skeleton mountain. Beta is…… I’m sure you know?]

  “So what you mean is that of those, there could be betas hiding until the end, giving orders to gammas and deltas unlike the dying ones?”


  [A piecemeal example is Africa’s Parasite King who was born as a parasitic type, but cannot manage a tribe of tens of thousands alone. So he has a middle-man to deal with communication with the lower levels.] [The skeleton mountain is similar. Producing and managing those many level 7 alters are separate matters. There needs to be a management system in order to focus on production, so it would have been well thought out.]

  About 300 Evil Queens are being maintained.

  Of these, only 1 is beta and 299 are gammas and deltas. Cha Jun Sung needs to find that 1 beta.

  “Are you tired?”


  “You can’t beat me.”


  “Bon Load’s abilities are really incredible.”


  Hundreds of Evil Queens each say something as they approach him.

  It is a skin-crawling sight. They are visually indistinguishable.

  “We decided to make you a limb of the one who created us.”


  “But it’s not me. It’s their license to create us, but it’s my will after. I can do anything with this strength.”


  “What a joke. It’s because there’s a goal. If they wanted to kill you, you know how easy it would be? You think you would survive if they launched a bomb here right now? You and I are both dead.”


  Someone extremely overworked. That’s Evil Queen’s current state.

  Seduced by power, she couldn’t come to her senses.

  Without considering what Jigneon’s group needed to gain from the experiment, it is incineration.

  “You found it?”


  [I can’t with just a scan. There’s no choice but to check for yourself.]

  “Can I attack them all at one time?”


  [You could if you wanted to, but they’re so dispersed that you won’t be able to create a proper impact. It would be difficult to distinguish with that.]

  The most extensive attack is to sweep with his tail. He can exert more power if he adds the Miracle’s support to this, but there is a limit.

  It might have worked if they were low level, but level 7s will be able to protect their own bodies.

  ‘If I were her, where would I put the beta?’


  Would she hide it in the back? Or would she consider the number of opponents and put it in the front?

  “If I can’t find it, I’ll just have to get it to come to me.”


  Papat!

  He can’t figure it out just by thinking about it. He needs to move.

  Cha Jun Sung hit the earth, grabbed one of the Evil Queens by the face, and burst it.

  Cha Jun Sung threw away the dead and rushed straight ahead. He realized after trying a few times, but the Evil Queens attacked in coordination as though previously planned, but they strayed from that if the skeleton mountain was in danger.

  Because they made such a big fuss, Cha Jun Sung went back every time it happened with the thought that he couldn’t get hurt in it.

  But it was a little different this time.

  He needs to give something up if he wants to gain something.

  He is trying to force it out even if that’s the length he needs to go to.

  Even if he needs to give the Miracle.

  Bang bang bang!

  Evil Queens run in a frenzy at Cha Jun Sung’s bull-rush.

  His vision is blocked.

  They are like mites.

  ‘More. Come in.’


  While running forward, additional forces were produced from the skeleton mountain as soon as he killed them.

  Now that he looks at it, the mountain has gotten smaller.

  If he lands a big hit, they will show some kind of reaction. Of course it won’t be in a good sense.

  “Ugh! Preparation?”


  [It’s already done. Barrier deployment! Lifer Cha Jun Sung needs to prepare for the shock as well. It will scour the entire radius!]

  One of the Miracles compressed into a circle, went through the Evil Queens, and flew toward the skeleton mountain. Then the one left over wrapped around Cha Jun Sung in layers.

  Cha Jun Sung enlarged a coat as sturdy as iron in that state and compressed it as much as possible. It is a struggle for defense.

  “Hiding? Fine. That means she has a special attack. But if the opponent is expecting it and waiting, it’s better to get it out faster. You know why? What good is it if you have strength? It’s over if you die before you use it.”


  Using the Miracle’s energy overload, its self-attack collides with the skeleton mountain. It isn’t like a bomb. It is simply an aggregate of energy.

  The skeleton mountain evaporates like a pencil drawing being erased.

  Kyah!

  Evil Queens scream and scatter out. They lose connection to the main body, act individually, and try to find a way to live.

  Cha Jun Sung wanted to kill them, but he couldn’t move either. It is because an energy septic wave flew at him from the front.

  “Black Lord!”


  A yell heard from ahead of him.

  One out of the hundreds of Evil Queens rapidly transformed and changed into Evil Queen’s second awakened state.

  “Don’t look for me, and worry about yourself.”


  The big explosion from the Miracle’s self-destruction swallowed Cha Jun Sung and Evil Queen whole. Flames spark in front of the barrier.

  The collision between the energies had offset the shock. It was incredible. It is such a great power that not even level 10 Evil Queen could be guaranteed survival.

  It was so strong that after the remaining energy cracked the barrier, it knocked Cha Jun Sung’s coat. The shell comes off like a shedding snake.

  “Fuck……”


  Bang bang bang bang!

  Cha Jun Sung’s swearing was swept into the explosion and disappeared to the other side.
