Ep. 95

–

Samuel Jaeseong, who was serving as the head of the armed police team in the district general security team, barely made it to the escape line.

The space city became a complete sea of fire and the security of each district was a mess, but he thought it had nothing to do with him.

'I'm just a civil servant! 'What are you going to do with me?'

He also contacted Monument, a higher-level organization, about what to do.

The only answer that comes back is to work hard to stabilize public order.

As the head of the armed police team, it was natural to protect the city's security, but he thought differently.

He said his superiors had abandoned him.

'It's better to leave here than to be abandoned.'

Even though he could tolerate others abandoning him, he had a talent for not being able to tolerate others abandoning him.

The funny thing is that Jaeseong wasn't the only one who thought that way.

There were quite a few people on board the escape ship with similar motivations.

'Everyone knows this face.'

Such as the head of the human resources management team in the entertainment district or the head of the medical team at Monument Central Hospital. They were all familiar faces to Jaesung.

When their eyes met, they made subtle expressions and avoided eye contact.

Running away while the city was in shambles was not something they could be proud of.

"Hey, why aren't we leaving?"

"sorry. "We'll find out right away."

Perhaps because he couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere any longer, the medical team leader lost his temper at the flight attendant.

Since most of the passengers were upper capitals, the flight attendant immediately bowed her head.

'Tsk, that's pathetic.'

Jaeseong, who saw that, clicked his tongue. Even though they ran away together, Jaesung thought he was different from them.

After all, he had a reason to leave the city.

Not long ago, the death notice of my younger brother, Samuel Samuel, arrived.

Jaeseong was able to leave the city under the pretext of attending his younger brother's funeral, which was scheduled to be held in his hometown.

'A useless guy can be helpful in times like this.'

A descendant of the Samuel family, the Third Capital of Satellite Titan, he did not have a good relationship with Yoo Seong.

This was inevitable because the two were competing with each other for the succession of the family.

But that is a fact that only those within the family know.

No one in the T&C Special Trade Center knew what he thought of his younger brother.

'Now that he's dead, the family legacy will be mine.'

He closed his eyes, feeling his mind relax.

–

"Guests are asking why you aren't leaving."

"We are leaving now. "An announcement will be made soon."

"All right."

"Ah, it says the cargo compartment is open, so please just check that."

"yes."

The female flight attendant left the cockpit and headed toward the cargo hold.

The cargo hold was filled with small containers that were scheduled to transport valuable items brought by customers to other places.

A half-closed door was visible beyond the loaded cargo.

She operated the terminal next to the door and closed it completely.

As soon as the red light displayed on the terminal changed to green, an announcement was made.

｢We are always grateful to our customers who used our T&C affiliated trade airline….'

As expected from an escape ship for VIPs, almost no shaking was felt inside during takeoff.

"huh?"

At that moment, she heard someone's voice and turned her head.

She turned around, but all she could see were containers and cargo that were not moving from their places.

"Did I hear it wrong?"

The female flight attendant left the cargo hold without feeling anything wrong.

–

"Vice-Captain Jacob!"

"How did this happen!"

"That…"

Jacob, who arrived at the warehouse in the port district late because he was busy putting on his reinforced suit, asked the drivers how the situation was going.

"Your Majesty was taken hostage?"

"yes. So we are searching this place…"

"We found it!"

Jacob and the members entered the warehouse after hearing a voice coming from afar.

However, what they were waiting for was not Denver, but the remains of a broken armored suit.

"Judging by the lack of blood, your Majesty is still alive."

"Then we have to go find it right away…"

"Quiet."

The members fell silent at Jacob's firm words.

He glared at the remains of the armored suit with cold eyes.

Jacob is an experienced veteran among the Knights Templar.

I was sure that there were clues hidden in the mess of broken wreckage.

As he carefully examined the traces of the armor, he was able to quickly discover something suspicious.

'The reinforced clothing was cut with precision. He also has excellent knowledge of machines. Besides…'

Only the communicator was missing. What does this fact mean?

Jacob came up with an even more terrible and ominous imagination.

"…Give me a communicator connected to a public channel."

"Here it is."

After receiving the communicator from the member, he pressed the button.

The voice of the master he served came from the connected communication device.

"He grabbed me and hid in the basement. Please help me." It

sounded strange, but it was definitely Denver's voice.

But as soon as Jacob heard that voice, he felt his blood run cold.

His unholy predictions are coming true.

"…majesty. "Did you say he was a Hulk mutant created by T&C?"

"More than that, please help me as I am being held captive now."

"Your Highness told me. "T&C plans to study him and develop a Hulk mutant."

As Jacob's words continued, the members felt their hearts grow bitter.

This is because they also understood what the vice-captain meant.

"That means he is not the monster T&C created."

｢….｣

"No, your highness. "Is it really you who is receiving the communication?"

｢Chijik Chijijik｣

There was no answer to Jacob's question on the communicator. Only the crackling noise filled the silent warehouse.

The moment when Jacob, who thought there was nothing more to hear, was about to turn off the communicator.

A sound came from the communicator.

"Your master is dead, pop, pop, pop."

The last thing I heard was Denver's voice, or the eerie cry of "it."

–

'Well, it didn't work this time.'

I used my fighting arms to destroy the communicator. It was brought in to buy time to escape in the first place, so it is no longer useful.

'I might be able to track you from there.'

I pounded it with my hands and pulverized every single tiny chip.

We had to go back a long way because of a mysterious enemy, but fortunately my kids and I were able to board the escape ship.

'I tried to close the door, but someone came and it was too close.'

The entire crew of this ship will be our food, but we will have to eat them only after we are far from the city.

It would be difficult if we attacked early and the pilot turned the ship around or did something useless.

The guys and I hid behind the container, and the flight attendant, not knowing anything, just closed the door and left the cargo compartment.

In the middle, Denver struggled to somehow notify her, but it was a meaningless struggle.

That's how we were able to leave the T&C Special Trade Center, the culmination of advanced human-made technology.

Through the small window in the cargo hold, I could see a hemispherical space city covered with a huge metal dome.

The space city, which had been huge before receiving the knight's communication, has now shrunk to the point where its overall shape can be seen.

'It's been a long time.'

Originally, I planned to fulfill all the evolution conditions in that city, but in the end, I was unable to achieve it. There are only 3 types left for evolution, and the conditions for cult and Wolf hunting have not been met.

'There's nothing to regret. After this…huh?'

While I was looking at the view of the space city from inside the window, the city suddenly shook violently.

An explosion erupted from the center of the alloy plate that served as the city's foundation, and something like a cloud of black dust spewed out.

The black dust cloud soared into space and began to cling to the city as if it had become self-conscious.

Then, holes were opened in various places in the hundreds of meters thick alloy plate, and everything inside the city was thrown out into space.

'That's a Gremlin torpedo… but the range is so wide?'

As the name suggests, the Gremlin torpedo is a missile containing nanomachines that gnaw away metal. It is a weapon made by Star Union and is mainly used to attack enemy flagships.

For a moment, I wondered if that was the threat my predator senses at the dock had told me about, but that probably wasn't the case. That thing looks like it exploded in a city nuclear reactor.

'If I had been even a little late, I would have been in big trouble.'

All kinds of things were slipping through the cracks in the city where the gremlin torpedoes had gnawed away. If I had been even a little late in escaping, I would have been thrown out into the darkness outside of space.

'It turned out rather well.'

I don't know who committed the terrorist attack, but there are many traces of me left in that city. If the city has been hit to that extent, it is impossible to run it normally.

If that city becomes a tomb, the traces I left behind will naturally be lost.

I kept watching the collapsing space city.

Although they cannot be seen or heard from here, countless people are sinking endlessly into that bottomless abyss.

'It might be a fitting end for the city of sin.'

The only consolation to them is that those who abandoned the city will also experience horrors greater than their own.

Only after the city got so far away that I could barely see it did I take my eyes off the window.

Egerton's warship, which was on guard, was not seen.

It is currently unknown whether it was swept away by the Gremlin torpedo or escaped in one direction or the other.

'If the Edgerton warship doesn't come after us…'

I looked down at the paralyzed Denver.

'I don't need this guy anymore.'

It would be bothersome if they ran a bio scanner using the matriarch's genes.

I opened my mouth to eat Denver, but I felt eyes on the back of my head.

When I turned around, No. 26 and Adhai were looking at me.

'hmm.'

If you think about it, both of them did a great job before leaving the city. I only praised them verbally, but never gave them any gifts.

'Think of it as an investment for the future.'

Through this incident, it was confirmed that No. 26 and Aadhai have high potential. The stronger they become, the more helpful they are for my survival.

'I don't know what crisis will come in the future.'

Even when fighting Code Black this time, it would have been difficult to win without them.

'Besides, there was an unknown enemy I saw before I left.'

You may encounter enemies you don't know or enemies stronger than you can imagine.

They need to help me until I evolve sufficiently and acquire characteristics.

'…well, personal intimacy cannot be ignored either.'

Even when I was human, I didn't have any friends. Whether in reality or in games.

It is difficult to say that my relationship with my family is good even with empty words.

Is that why?

I couldn't deny the fact that I also developed an attachment to the two.

Anyway, for two reasons: investment for the future and personal feelings, I decided to give in this time.

[Zuzu zu (Eat this)]

｢Big baby doesn't eat it?｣

｢Adult｣｢Meal｣｢Together｣

[Zuzuzu (I'm okay)]

｢If the older baby doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either.｣

｢Agree｣

Tasty food. I passed it on with my mind set, but they refused. He said he wanted to share Code Red's hand when he was eating it, and it looks like he plans to do that again this time.

'Tsk. 'This isn't it.'

[Zuzu zuzu (Then let's eat together)]

｢Yes!｣

｢Me｣｢Joy｣

After reaching an agreement, we looked at Denver who was lying down together.

Denver, who has guessed what we will do from now on, gives us a look telling us not to do this.

"Eup!"

I was paralyzed and couldn't understand what was being said, but it probably wasn't that important.

I wonder if Denver knows.

The only thing he can offer right now.

That's just fresh meat.
