An unmeasurable giant creature cuts through the ocean.

It moves like a threaded needle going back and forth, sewing cloth.

It is foolish to even compare because of the size of the ocean, but just that area looked like it was being threaded.

The body movement itself is slow.

It looks very slow. But each movement brings it forward hundreds of meters in distance.

It was going back because of a sweet smell. It is curious because it’s something it’s smelling for the first time, but it doesn’t get seduced.

It is a ruler.

Nothing can distract its composure.

The creature stopped moving. The sweet smell is slowly fading.

Instead, the smell of those guys it ran into not long ago becomes stronger.

A fairly strong male and female pair.

It has been wandering the sea for a long time, but they are some of the strongest they have seen until now.

It’s sure that nothing in this ocean can take them on.

What is going on over there?

It isn’t sure, but it is sure of one thing. Something exciting is waiting.

***

Bang bang!

Nuclear’s energy ball gets embedded in the male’s pupil.

He used most of the energy left in his battlesuit. An increase in destructive power is inevitable, and the flesh scatters.

Boom boom boom!

It is out of energy.

The male is unable to regenerate the area where its eye has exploded, and flips with its stomach turned up. It floats on the water and breathes heavily.

It’s body is covered in wounds from cuts and bombs.

The male looked from one place to another. It has seen the dead female and baby. It was about to follow them.

“Farewell.”

Hades cuts the male’s neck with wind pressure.

They couldn’t dissect it due to its size, but the trajectory of the vacuum wave gave the final blow.

[You have killed the Deep-Sea Teeth. You have earned 2.5 billion points and 5 billion achievement points. You have completed the level A advancement mission, Deep-Sea Teeth. You have earned 8 billion reward points. Cha Jun Sung is subject to upgrade – level S missions and store have been opened.]

As everyone had expected, Cha Jun Sung was the only one to advance.

If it hadn’t been for Cha Jun Sung, it could have been someone else.

The battle would have been more fierce with the absence of a strong power. There would have been more sacrifices made, and someone would have stepped up.

“I – I can’t fight anymore.”

“Phew! It’s done anyway.”

The ice island that Ice Queen created near the male is visible.

It is about 1/10 of the size it normally is because she lacked the energy.

Park Jin Hyuk’s group and the Rankers are spread out on that small island. It is a terrible sight. A majority of the battlesuits are severely damaged.

The aftermath of battle.

It is a big show.

Cha Jun Sung, 11 Lifers and two level 8s had incredible pressure in frontal confrontation regardless of winners and losers.

They wanted to fight by hitting and retreating even if this takes some time, but it isn’t a situation where they can do that. The Albatrus is getting pushed.

They need to finish up the battle here somehow and then help out on that side.

But once the battle with the Deep-Sea Teeth was over, only one person was able to move and he was already on his way to help.

“He flies.”

“His stamina is one thing, but we can’t ignore his battlesuit’s performance either.”

The Lifers resting on the ice island all look at one place.

As soon as Cha Jun Sung killed the male and arrived at the Albatrus, he swept the battlefield.

The sharks are scattering everywhere following the Deep-Sea Teeth’s loss, but it’s slow because there are so many of them.

Park Jin Hyuk’s group and the Rankers took out their general charging devices and recovered their battlesuits’ energy. They already used all of the rapid charging devices.

While Cha Jun Sung attacked near the Albatrus, the 7 Rankers who had gone to take on the level 7s began to resume their positions one by one.

They aren’t in good shape either, but they are more at ease.

As soon as they joined in battle, they chased the sharks away with Cha Jun Sung as the principal axis.

“Is it... complete.”

Strategist got an idea of the battle’s atmosphere and gave a hollow smile.

He doesn’t remember when it started, but now there are more times when he feels empty due to the death of his colleagues rather than a feeling of achievement that the mission is complete.

Survivors are flowers that bloom from the sacrifices of others. They used those opportunities created through their deaths as footholds to go up.

Those with more, gain more. Those who lose, lose more.

They hadn’t been able to advance, but Strategist’s group completed the mission and survived while earning a vast amount of points. It is sad, but he thinks of it as one step forward while establishing a friendly relationship with Cha Jun Sung who has opened up level S.

If he supports them with level S items, they will be able to develop even more. Completion without victims might even be possible.

“It’s time to go back. Uranos, do your best and wrap up the battlefield.”

[Cyborg ejection.]

The cyborgs remaining on board go out, leaving the mutants alone, and collect and take care of everything related to Lifers.

The victims don’t return and just watch this. They need to get a count of the damage, but at a glance, it looks like half have died.

Cha Jun Sung recovers Hades, goes up in the air, and goes past the ice island.

He looks at the Deep-Sea Teeth that are dead in different places.

“Parents who think of their children. I guess all living creatures are the same.”

He doesn’t feel sorry or pity or anything. As long as he has entered with the intention to kill, those kinds of feelings are a luxury.

He is just understanding that those guys are struggling to live just like they are.

“Are we the same?”

Lifers don’t know that they’re specimens for experiment either. Cha Jun Sung is the only one who is close to the hidden truth.

[Sincere congratulations. Lifer Cha Jun Sung, I’m proud of you. The only level S Lifer. I knew you could do it.]

It finally became reality for Cha Jun Sung that he had become level S once he heard Odin speak.

He had been busy with battle before, and had ignored the notice even after hearing it. He hadn’t had the chance to check how many points he got and that he had advanced.

How many level S missions are there?

Are there 5 since Cruel King is dead?

Or is it 6 including that cocoon?

He’ll be able to find out more in detail once he returns. His total points are about 20 billion. He bought a battlesuit, so he can pay attention to other areas. He’ll need to take care of the specifications he is lacking in.

[First, let us go back to the Albatrus.]

“Jun Sung! Let’s go back!”

“Yeah.”

Strategist’s radio.

Park Jin Hyuk was sitting on the ice island as he called to Cha Jun Sung who is floating in the air. Lifers are returning one by one.

Cha Jun Sung turned around to go back. Their work is done here.

At that moment, Cha Jun Sung froze as though he had been hit by lightning.

‘What is this? This energy?’

Something he can’t identify is binding him. He wants to turn around and look, but he can’t. His body won’t listen to him.

[Activate the reverse tracking camera!]

Odin realized something strange was going on, and turns on the camera built into the battlesuit.

The cameras change direction and film the rear. Though they only maintained basic functions, to think that they didn’t know until it had approached!

Woong!

The rear view comes up on his battlesuit’s hologram.

It is the open sea, but below sea level, a long and giant shadow shows under the sunlight.

[Infrared ray, thermal detection impossible! It is a mutant that can control its body temperature and assimilate to the environment! Estimated length 1255m. At this kind of size, could it be?]

From the way it hides, it is like Basil’s 9 combination stealth.

He is level S, but it hadn’t been detected by the battlesuit’s basic probe.

His body trembles.

Cold sweat forms on Cha Jun Sung’s entire body.

His mouth dries up. He doesn’t sweat much because he is a mutant and the temperature inside the battlesuit is always controlled, but he can’t help it now.

“Tell Strategist to run away or return to reality immediately.”

[Transferring information... Transmission complete! Lifer Cha Jun Sung, you also need to hurry up and evacuate!]

Cha Jun Sung shakes his head.

He needs to buy time for them to get away. They’ll all get swept away if he boards the Albatrus.

Cha Jun Sung dives into the ocean with the reverse booster.

He doesn’t know how this happened. What he is sure of is that it has already happened.

He is submerged in the sea in a tense state.

Cha Jun Sung saw it.

It is atrocious, but it has arrogant eyes.

Sea God Levadan.
