Episode 154

As always.

The end comes without warning.

– The dimensional balance has been disturbed. Otherworldly entities sprout in new places… … .

Daejeon is one of the cities in South Korea with one of the best conditions.

A message appeared before the eyes of people who were enjoying their peaceful lives as usual.

– The fourth apocalypse begins.

– The are growing.

It was a declaration that the end had begun.

The bustling city suddenly became as quiet as death. It was because no one could understand.

Why did the end come?

And what is the seed of evolution?

“What, what is this?”

“The End? The Seeds of Evolution? What the heck is this… .”

The silence lasted only a moment.

The city soon became noisy. The end, what is that? What are the seeds of change?

People were spewing out questions that bordered on screams.

The answer to that question was quickly found.

– Crackle, crackle!

“Oh, oh, oh! Hey, over there! Over there!”

A loud noise echoed throughout Daejeon.

A loud noise, like a huge window breaking. Everyone’s eyes turned to the direction from which the sound came.

The high sky was splitting apart.

A space that is twisted as if someone is breaking it, forcing it open. And in between.

– Kuuuung!

A giant seed appeared.

But its appearance was very different from that of ordinary seeds. On the surface, there were numerous eyes, mouths, noses, ears, etc. that were attached separately.

There are even numerous wings sprouting from its body.

“Uh, uh… what is that?”

“Oh, a seed? It’s probably a seed, right?”

“Wait a minute, that’s where the building of brilliance is!”

The place where the giant seed appeared was right above the Guild House of Radiance. The seed descended slowly, curling up its spread wings.

I felt a tremendous power gathering from the seed.

And after a while.

– Paaaaat!

A green wave appeared around the seed.

The waves that arose as soon as the crouched wings spread out spread in all directions. They reached the Green Zone of Daejeon, beyond it, and even all of Daejeon.

There was no way to avoid the waves.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Just now, that was… … .”

A green wave passed through the people.

They looked around at their bodies with frightened faces, thinking that something might be wrong.

But nothing happened.

[The distance to the Seed of Evolution is close. The time left until mutation is greatly shortened.]

[Time left until mutation: 1 minute.]

Instead, a timer appeared in the corner of my vision.

Mutation? What does this mean? Those who checked the timer were even more confused.

“What the heck is this timer?!”

“What, what is mutating?”

“What happens after two minutes!”

There was no one to answer that question.

The incomprehensible situation creates fear. An unknown ominousness consumes people.

The terrified people trembled violently.

“Eww!”

“Hey, run away! Run away!”

“Wow, Glory! Where are the Hunters!”

What they chose was escape.

I don’t know what happened, but one thing was certain: I had to escape from that giant seed that suddenly appeared.

People turned their backs and started running away.

In the meantime, time passed.

[45 seconds, 22 seconds, 10 seconds… … .]

Time flies.

People who saw the timer ticking down gritted their teeth. What the heck is this time? What happens when the time runs out?

The answer was quickly revealed.

[Time left until mutation: 0 seconds.]

The timer hit zero.

Thump! I felt my heart beating loudly. The people who were desperately running away stopped walking.

“Uh, ugh… … .”

“Mom, my body… ugh!”

I felt an unknown power within me.

It feels like someone is setting fire to your body. It feels like something is ‘mutating’ you.

People crouched.

“What are you doing! I said we have to run away quickly!”

“Ugh, ugh… ugh… .”

The hunter, who was running away in a hurry, saw his friend collapse and tried to help him up.

However, the change started before that.

“Ahh, ahh… aaaah!”

“Eww!”

A change called ‘evolution’.

The people who had been crouching stretched out their bodies. Then, green energy burst out from their bodies.

and.

– Crunch, crunch! Crunch!

“Huh, huh?”

The human body began to ‘evolve’.

Some people’s entire bodies were transformed into demonic ones, with numerous eyes growing out of them, while others had insect-like carapace sprouting all over their faces and bodies.

Some have numerous arms, some have wings, some have twisted arms, some have huge bodies… … .

[You have ‘evolved’.]

[Please risk your life to protect the ‘seed of evolution’ that has bestowed the blessing of evolution on the insignificant human body.]

Ordinary people with no abilities mutated into various forms of monsters.

It was evolved through the power of the .

To refer to them in another world.

– Uh, uh, ah… … .

“Ugh, huhhhhhh!”

“T-That person is a monster… Gyaaaaah!”

.

A name for those who evolved due to the emitted by a giant seed.

Although it may not have been what they wanted, they evolved and became powerful.

– Huhuhuhuhu… … .

The mutant let out a ragged breath.

The hunter’s face hardened as he saw his friend’s changed appearance. The face, the body, everything had changed. Not human, but monster.

“Hey, hey. Seonghyun. It’s me. I… … .”

– Kwaaaaah!

“Whoaaaaah?!”

A mutant that charges while roaring.

The speed was so fast that even the Hunter couldn’t keep up. The mutant leaped forward in an instant, stretched out his arm, and a blade sprouted from his wrist and stabbed the Hunter.

A hunter is pinned to the ground with his body pierced.

– Kiaaaah!

“Ugh, ugh!”

The mutant’s face split open horribly.

The countless teeth visible between them. The thing bit off the head of its friend, the Hunter.

“Eww!”

“S, save me… Aaaah!”

“Ah, no. Me too, my body… …!”

The same scene was unfolding everywhere.

Those who have become mutants bite those who have not yet become mutants. Those who are dying also become mutants and rise again to attack the people.

Abigail, where countless people are dying.

– Survive from the .

A message like that appeared before everyone’s eyes.

But no one could see it.

– Kyaaaaah!

“Kwaaaaah!”

In Daejeon, which had become a scene of one-sided massacre, there was no one who had the luxury of seeing the message.

* * *

The Guild of Light members also recognized the situation.

“There are strange monsters outside!”

“Is it a monster? No, that kind of monster… … .”

“That’s not important right now!”

Daejeon was reduced to rubble in an instant.

The guild house had surveillance cameras installed all over the city. The cameras showed people running away and others mutating into horrible monsters.

It was obvious what the cause was.

“Rooftop! The seed that appeared on the rooftop is the cause! We have to destroy it first! Get your weapons!”

“Yes, yes! But, the guild leader!”

“He’ll be upstairs! Come up and join us!”

The guild members quickly made a decision.

They were skilled and experienced. They knew how to move in such situations.

They quickly finished preparing.

“Everyone calm down.”

“Brother Gyu-seong!”

And just as they were about to go upstairs, a man familiar to them came down the stairs.

It was the leader of the guild of brilliance, Han Gyu-seong.

“Brother! There’s chaos right now! Everywhere!”

“Yes, I know. The seed of evolution… … .”

Han Gyu-seong gestured to the guild members.

It was a gesture for them to come closer. The guild members ran in a hurry. There was no time to hesitate.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

“The moment the Commander wanted has come.”

“Huh? What is that… … .”

The guild member nearby couldn’t finish speaking.

No, I couldn’t finish it.

– Phew!

“Cough!”

Because countless blades pierced his body.

As Han Gyu-seong’s body split apart, numerous blades appeared inside and pierced the guild members.

“Hey, guild leader!”

“Wait a minute, uh, uh… what is that?”

The guild members who saw Han Gyu-seong’s body were shocked.

It had to be that way. A body horribly torn apart, an inside covered in machine parts without a single bit of flesh.

Is that a human body?

“A, a machine?”

“Yes, the commander has granted me his grace.”

“Huh? Who, older sister?”

The voice was heard right behind me.

The one standing there was the leader of the guild of brilliance. She smiled and spread her arms. Then, a curtain of lightning spread around her.

– Crackle!

“Kwaaaaah!”

A thunderstorm that covers the entire floor.

Because it was an unexpected attack, there was no time to resist. The guild members who were shocked fell down.

The vice-guild leader, who had been looking at them with emotionless eyes, stretched out her arms. Her arms split open and transformed into mechanical tentacles that restrained the guild members.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Hey, sister! What the hell is going on!”

[They became part of my legion.]

A voice was heard.

A voice was heard from the stairs. A large man covered in black robes came down the stairs.

Every time he moved, a strange mechanical sound was heard.

“Who are you… …!”

[The title given to him is ‘Legion Commander’. He is also the executive officer leading the Apocalypse Forces.]

“Joe, you’re from the Apocalypse?”

The guild members trembled when they heard that name.

Because he knew what kind of organization the Apocalypse Clan was. The legion commander’s red, mechanical eyes looked around at the terrified guild members.

“All of this… is this what you did?!”

[I am only following the great will. But, yes. It was my will that took charge of this place.]

“What? What is that… … .”

The commander raised his head.

The seed of evolution floating on the rooftop here. He wanted to witness the evolution it would bring.

That’s why I volunteered for this job.

[What changes will the concept of evolution bring to my army of mixed humans and machines?]

That’s what I want to see.

The expressions of the guild members who did not understand what the commander was saying hardened.

“Oh, are you planning to kill us?”

[Killing? That can’t be. How could they kill hunters who would make good test subjects so easily?]

The commander spread his arms.

Then, with a loud noise, the wall of the building collapsed. Beyond it, numerous beings appeared.

Humans, monsters, and all manner of legionaries.

As the disguising shell was removed, the mechanical internal structure was revealed.

[How do humans evolve?]

That wasn’t all.

The guild members watched the surveillance cameras. They saw legionnaires advancing from all over Daejeon.

They were working with the mutants, killing and capturing those who ran away or resisted.

[Rejoice, for you will be my test subjects to explain the mechanism to me.]

“이, 개새끼가……!”

The guild members swore.

But there was nothing I could do. I was bound, waiting for the mutation that was about to come.

They shed tears of blood as they watched the guild leader and vice-guild leader moving like machines.

“Ugh, aaaaaaah!”

Hunters gradually evolve one by one.

The commander observed the scene seriously.

[Seeds of Evolution, interesting.]

How do you apply this concept to your legionnaires? How do you apply it to yourself?

The commander raised his head.

Cameras illuminate the battlefield. Mutants and legionnaires are seen subduing the resisting hunters.

[A human with no abilities whatsoever evolved to have that level of strength, if he were a member of the Legion… … .]

How strong can you become?

The legion commander’s eyes glowed ominously. He gestured to the legionnaires beside him.

[Take those mutants to the testing grounds.]

“Yes, Commander.”

[and…….]

The commander turned his back as he gave orders to his men. The end of this place was successful. There was no need to watch the situation in the city any longer.

That was the conclusion reached.

That thought was not wrong.

-Whaaaaaaah!

[… … !]

Daejeon, where evolution is taking place.

Until, all over the place, the ‘shield’ rose up.

and.

[A shield?]

– Kwaaaaah!

Until the undead appeared from all sides and stopped the mutants and legionnaires.

[Undead. No way… … .]

One name came to mind.

The commander frowned. He couldn’t help it. The name was offensive to him.

The undead run rampant beyond the camera.

A man appeared in the meantime.

[Baek Sa-jun!]

Busan and Jeju Island.

The figure of a man who prevented two apocalypses.
