How to Live as an Immortal - Chapter 352

352 The best, the best

Questions arise.

“How did you find me?”

And that was right near the scene of the crime. It was too coincidental to be a coincidence. It was something that could not have happened without waiting for it in advance.

“Isn’t it wrong to ask about personal information when meeting someone for the first time?”

“I see, is conversation unnecessary?”

A proxy war that has already reached its mid-point.

There was no time to leisurely exchange names or anything. The identity could be confirmed after the death and used as spoils of war.

Moreover, Sushant’s goal is to find and punish the culprit who stole the token from Ashutosh.

It was already running later than scheduled. This was not the time to be getting caught up in a place like this.

so-

“Die.”

Don’t let your guard down and show your full power from the start.

A battle fanatic who refines himself on a battlefield where joy and sorrow intersect may enjoy even this moment, but Susant was not one of them.

He is an explorer who devotes his time to testing theories and hypotheses.

Every part of life is a stage of self-realization.

This engagement was no exception.

The moment the emitter built into the forearm is activated, the result is almost a given.

Pushik.

Usually, when people say alien species, they are understood to be mutants that were created when Earth organisms that were incorporated into Mars evolved to adapt to the environment, but there were also individuals that were classified as indigenous species.

A few years ago, the Jinrisimjonghoe extracted a certain organism from a mineral.

It was an ancient creature whose birth could be witnessed only by going back to BC.

Of course, just because they were part of the history of Mars, they did not have a biological system as evolved as humans. Rather, they were closer to protein structures.

However, the reason that the Truth and Justice Society put all its efforts into reverse-calculating and restoring the damaged DNA was because of the characteristics of that individual.

Special enzymes released when these creatures reproduced induced cell division in carbon-based life forms.

So fast that the word rapid is fitting.

The laws of nature that cannot be explained even by modern science.

Yes, Sushant, what he held was the pinnacle of biological weapons, an ancient mystery.

Namely―

‘Akshay (?????)’

Its meaning is eternal.

“Ugh… .”

Akshay was a bizarre species that multiplied indefinitely, feeding on its host. It could be seen as having a similar mechanism to cancer, except that the multiplied cells ate away at existing cells and replaced the nervous system.

For the first few seconds, you might have mistaken yourself for feeling rejuvenated.

Your fine lines will disappear, your muscles will be fuller, and you will have more energy.

But Akshay, who has spread throughout the body, does not stop there and expands.

In an instant, the swollen flesh bursts out from between the skin that is as thin as a rag.

Sushant looks down at the man bubbling like a kettle and smiles faintly.

“Isn’t it ironic, that as a living being you have finally reached your destination and yet you have no choice but to die?”

As you said.

Akshay was originally one of the materials prepared by the Truth Mind Society to create the ultimate creature, although it was only used as a weapon due to unfavorable circumstances.

Unrestricted cell division was also the first step toward immortality.

“Ugh, ugh. Huh.”

Depending on when you hear it, it sounds like someone sobbing in sorrow or shuddering in joy.

Even if the man were a cyborg, nothing would have changed.

It was a time when artificial intelligence restrictions were rampant. Even if the entire body was replaced with a prosthetic body, the brain had to be alive.

It goes without saying what would happen if Akshay, realizing that the only place he could breed was his head, encroached upon his central nervous system.

“Now, if you just hand over the certificate, I will grant you peace of mind.”

“you….”

The man rummages through his bosom with trembling hands.

Until then, Sushant thought he would give up. But instead of a badge, he took out an aggressive knife and cut off his waist.

Could this be an expression of willingness to volunteer rather than beg?

“Stupid, but that will only increase your suffering. Regeneration will continue until your lifespan ends…”

It was a very sarcastic remark, but soon he had no choice but to cover his mouth.

Because at the same time the man hurt himself, a hole appeared in my side as well.

A cause and effect that is incomprehensible to Susanth, who pursues common sense.

“It’s the best, it’s the best. It’s the best!”

What Perma felt after being attacked by Akshay was not despair, but a sense of liberation.

His talent is reflection.

It was an unusual equivalent exchange where all damage received was passed on to the target. However, because of that, the ability had to be used only to the extent that it did not die.

A double-edged sword that can deal with any enemy, but cannot kill any enemy.

It was a talent that was nothing but a flaw, as it was the result of enduring pain.

It is natural that the range of movement is narrow.

Until now, humans had been limited by their limitations, but thanks to Akshay’s help, those limitations have disappeared.

“You promise me a peaceful rest if I just hand over the token? I’ll give it back to you just like you said.”

He repeatedly scratches his neck with an aggressive knife, as if he were playing a violin with strings.

Following the melody played by Permat, Sushant also sang a tune.

In an instant, flesh and blood rise above the repeated funeral march.

“Yes, can it be applied in this way?”

Through the continuous manifestation of one’s abilities, the enlightenment that has been accumulated over time moves to a higher level.

Step 4.

Fermat, who had reached the pinnacle of metahumans, felt like fireworks were exploding between his teeth.

“… … Cool, cool. Don’t ask me for forgiveness anymore.”

Just as Ashutosh had implanted slots into his body to form cages, Sushant had also modified his body to form a habitat for the alien species.

However, what he pursues is coexistence.

Yes, from head to toe – inside Sushant’s body, which gave its entire being without sparing a single soul, there were countless alien species living.

Although he was an apostle among apostles in terms of method, he was able to use some of the characteristics of a traitorous species as a result.

Boom!

Between the dust explosions caused by Piper Fixer, the blood-sucking parasite Twister Lava is dispatched. Inflammatory fungal cells Fatal Drug and corrosive vermin Down Sludge are also included.

“This is unmanageable.”

The legions numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands became a fog that filled the passages.

However, no matter how much of a disaster a swarm of locusts may bring, they cannot resist the sickle of the god of death who escaped from the afterlife.

Fermat, who had shown a weak side in many-on-one battles until he competed against the Queen, was different now that he had grown to the fourth level.

Because through that experience, I acquired the derivative ability to split the power of reflection.

Deep dive.

The army also ebbed away like the tide following the knife that pierced the neck.

Now, to Fermat, 1 and 100 were not so different numbers.

“Can you really be another number for me?”

Crunch.

* * *

Perma, who had crushed and crushed the head of Sushant, who had fallen to the ground in rags, clenched both his fists.

“Okay.”

Sushant Kam, Vice President of the Truth and Reconciliation Council.

His reduced fighting ability was confirmed in the attached materials when he received the revised location.

That’s why I decided that I could get rid of it alone.

Of course, it was a battle in which Fermat, in charge of reconnaissance and exploration, did not need to overwork himself.

But the reason I pushed ahead despite the risk was because Jose’s replacement partner was arriving a few hours later.

Supernova, known as the strongest metahuman to emerge from ‘that place’.

For Fermat, who had encountered him several times, he was an extremely difficult opponent.

Should we call him the incarnation of arrogance?

Even if he took down the MTI fighter with him, it was obvious that he would be dragged around anyway, so Fermat had no choice but to make a decision.

Fortunately, the gamble worked.

Fermat immediately reported the results of the engagement to Amir.

It was his sole responsibility to retrieve the token. He also had the sole authority to ask about the location of other fighters.

“I want to know where Baekdu’s fighter, Baek Ga-on, is.”

My best friend, my mortal enemy who killed Jose.

Perma, who was defeated by Akshay, was in a state where he was given a limited time, but his goal was never broken. No, rather, he had no doubt that it was meaningful now.

Akshay, who multiplies by eating away at the body, granted Perma temporary immortality.

If you mix it with reflection, you could even kill a god.

I wonder where Gaon is.

The moment you’re ready to jump out, a message with an arrow appears above your pupil.

[Distance to target, 160 meters ahead]

A number I never thought of.

He steps back in surprise.

But at the same time, Gaon’s direction also changes. He reacts quickly, as if he knows where he is.

The gap between the two people narrows in an instant.

The next time the distance was measured it was clearly 160 meters―

’50 meters!’

Just when it seems like I’ve received special treatment like Easy Road, a thin vortex shoots out from far away.

Boom!

* * *

The first thing Gaon found after following the pheromone to the depths of the underground was a man lying around in an unsightly state. A man who gave off the same smell as the pheromone that served as his compass.

It doesn’t move at all, as if it’s already dead.

There was no need to say who handled it. In the first place, the presence of the person caught by the Detective was only one.

Turn your head and face the opponent standing at the end of the passage.

The ragtag man I met in District 15.

“… It’s a lot different than before.”

It was a miserable sight. If melting candle wax had become a person, would it look like that? It was like an object somewhere between a tumor and pus, moving and alive.

It must be because of that characteristic that the severed part remains intact on the tip of the finger.

“Hmm. So, you were the guy who bribed your friend. You said your name was Pimp?”

“Shut up, my name is Perma, not Pimp.”

Needless to say, the fallen man was a fighter of MTI, so the only one left was Easy Road.

Fermat was so serious about his search that he rode the hyperloop and traveled all over the colony. There was a good chance that the sky, impressed by his enthusiasm, would have taken possession of him.

Because of what happened to Olivia, not all routes in this area were closed.

Even Gaon barely managed to track him down with the help of the extraordinary technique of Mandala, but before that―

‘Easy Road figured it out.’

I’m not underestimating their capabilities, but it didn’t make sense.

Moreover, isn’t this after the outcome has already been decided?

It meant that he had already figured out the movements of the opposing fighter. This was something that could not have happened without someone telling him.

“I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but you won’t teach me in person, right?”
