< Invasion (1) >
“Help? What is it?”
Sang-woo tilted his head, as he hadn’t been asked for anything else since The Seven Deadly Sins.
“Has the symbol of anger appeared in Africa?”
“no. It’s something else. Was there a major event in issue week recently? I came here to ask you a favor because of Tron.”
“ah.”
After hearing the story, Sang-woo understood what was going on.
He knew enough about the incident in front of the Tron laboratory through the news.
“It’s because of that lab in Nevada.”
“yes. Trying to break through the entrance there. So, we are currently recruiting for S-class hunters, but it is not suitable.”
Sangwoo didn’t quite understand.
Doing military suppression with hunters?
It was thought that it would be possible to mobilize military power.
“But is it something that hunters like me have to do? I think you can just fire a missile from a distance to break down the entrance.”
“I don’t know if you know it well, but Tronsa’s power is almost as good as any country.”
“yes? It is equivalent to a country.”
Sang-woo was surprised.
The fact that a single company has the same amount of electricity as a country.
“It’s not Skynet from some Terminator…”
“You can see it at about that level. There is also a saying that the Skynet in the movie was created with Tron as a motif.”
“This is really great. But is that president named Trevor Lorne a real time traveler?”
Sang-woo brought up a rumor floating around the Internet and the public about Tronsa, which he had seen before.
It was the story that Trevor Ron, the first chairman who founded Tron, was a time traveler.
Lucas’ expression hardened slightly at those words.
“Are you referring to the tangled rumors about the Philadelphia Experiment that Trevor Lone was involved in?”
“yes. From what I remember reading that rumor, it was that a number of people went missing during the experiment, and one of them was Trevor Lorne. And after a while, he returned who went missing, changed beyond recognition, and later established Tronsa by succeeding in a number of studies.”
Philadelphia Experiment.
It was an experiment called the Soching Rainbow Project, which was conducted in the United States during World War II.
The subject was a project to create a stealth technology that uses a strong magnetic field on the hull to evade enemy radar detection.
And on October 28, 1943, the United States Navy frigate destroyer Eldridge carried a Tesla coil and conducted the Philadelphia experiment.
As a result, the experiment failed and there were no casualties at the time.
but what
As time passed, rumors began to circulate that various things had happened at the time.
There were rumors that a layer of blue mist formed when a magnetic field was generated around the destroyer, that the ship disappeared and appeared on the coast hundreds of kilometers away, or that most of the crew members on board at the time were dead, and some were melting after merging with the hull.
And above all, it was the rumor that space movement and time movement were realized.
“well. I don’t believe the rumors are true from a rational point of view. At the time, government documents about the operation process and experiments were disclosed, but there was no such content at all.”
Lucas said in disbelief.
However, one word was added.
“Of course, looking at the achievements of Tronsa’s first president, Trevor Lorne… it makes me want to believe that rumor is true. He is a genius who has already participated in various studies with von Neumann Einstein and Tesla in his early 20s, but many of the technologies he developed in the past are so high-level over-technology that they cannot be analyzed. So I, too, emotionally support some of the rumors. Documents can be manipulated.”
It was shocking.
The chairman of Enlighten Group, the world’s No. 1 company, supports rumors.
“So you’re saying that the real President Trevor Lawn might be a time traveler?”
“It may or may not be. More important than that is getting the current president Trevor Lawn out. He is not the first chairman, but through him, his grandson, Sang-woo’s curiosity can be answered.”
Lucas didn’t say that he was also curious.
‘Previously, Tronsa showed a quiet move like a rat. And on the last day, I focused on fighting Kranid by mobilizing military power. But now, with the appearance of an unexpected variable named Kang Joon-young, he is showing an incomprehensible move. It’s too unconventional. Trevor Lone… What are you thinking?’
Lucas didn’t understand Tron’s current move.
Even if he had remained ignorant as if he knew nothing, the impact on Tronsa would have been small.
But to see them taking steps that seem to turn their backs on the world.
While he was lost in thought for a moment, Sang-woo asked.
“After all, you have to meet him to know everything. And since it is such a great group, it is difficult to break through with ordinary military power, so they are trying to break through with a small number of elites. So, the goal is to arrest the president of Tron Corporation?”
“yes. We plan to discontinue it as soon as it is secured. That’s why we’re gathering elites now. Someone like Sang-woo.”
To be selected for an issue that has drawn attention from around the world.
Sang-woo felt new.
It means that among the hunters who are said to be the best in the world, he proudly nominated himself.
“But I wonder if I can go there as I don’t have public authority…”
“It’s okay. In the United States, there is a provision that allows domestic and foreign awakened people to be invited to the operation in case of emergency. It is the same this time.”
After the cataclysm, exchanges and alliances between awakened people in each country became active due to monster raids, etc., and various provisions were created, which were also made at that time.
Therefore, as long as Sang-woo agreed, there was no problem in proceeding with the work.
“If you agree, I will send you a deposit of $10 million right into your account.”
“Ten million dollars?”
About 10 billion won in our money.
It wasn’t money that Sang-woo couldn’t earn, but it was an amount that he couldn’t earn easily.
‘Should I? I have nothing to do anyway. And I heard that there are many strange things in the Tron company…’
If you catch your eye, even if it’s a bit decent, you might have a chance to use Gluttony or Envy to steal your ability.
Sang-woo was focused on such a rice cake dumpling (?).
“Hmm good. I will participate too.”
“Haha, I thought you would agree. thank you Then shall we go right away?”
“yes? now? I haven’t even signed a contract or anything like that yet.”
“yes. Everyone is waiting now. We will proceed with the contract right now through JM Agency.”
It meant that everyone was already ready.
And that means the situation is tense.
Sangwoo nodded.
“yes. Please. But can I go with this alter ego?”
“Ah, I heard that this is for Aria-san. Could you send me a separate alter ego?”
“Sure.”
Sang-woo called one of his alter egos, who was hunting in Korea, through the sub-space next to Aria.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk-
the alter ego protruding out of the subspace.
“I think you can take him.”
“yes. All right. Then we’ll go right away.”
Lucas took the new clone’s hand.
Then.
Pod!
In an instant, the surrounding environment changed.
Then Lucas and his alter ego appeared.
“It’s Lucas.”
“Who is that kid?”
“Avatar!”
It was a stylish meeting room with a state-of-the-art interior, like something you would see in a sci-fi space movie.
There were already people who looked like hunters gathered in it, but when they saw Lucas and Sang-woo, they murmured.
“Now, everyone has gathered. The last member, Avatar, Jeong Sang-woo, joined safely.”
Sang-woo’s popular nickname is ‘Avatar’.
That’s why everyone groaned.
Because the next S-class Hunter was an influential person.
“That person’s avatar…”
“Oh, he’s handsome.”
“It looks more corrupt than I thought.”
“…….”
Even though they buzzed like this, they were also S-class or A-class hunters who were equivalent to S-class hunters.
In the midst of each saying one word at a time.
Sang-woo found a familiar face.
Hercules, who was said to have the strongest power, France’s Charles d’Eon, who used a tremendous quicksword, Vision (Vision) Buddy Finn, whom he saw in Japan, and Bless, an all-around healer called a miracle man.
Charles d’Eon wasn’t very close to him, he was just getting used to his face, and Buddy Pin couldn’t communicate properly, but Bless had a pretty close relationship with him because he healed his sister and saved the members of the Cainus guild.
Of course, Sang-woo almost unilaterally helped.
‘Mr. Bless.’
Sang-woo looked at Bless and winked at him.
However, Bless didn’t even look at Sang-woo, whether he was tired or if everything was bothersome, and was pointing his finger in the air with his head on the table.
It seems that he is doing something else while manipulating his smart goggles.
‘We’ll talk about it later.’
While Sang-woo made that decision.
Lucas changed from a suit to a hunter suit and stood in front of everyone.
And the hologram screen that appeared at the forefront of the conference room.
There, the operation plan was clearly organized by time and floated.
“As of this time, we will break through the entrance to the Tronsa Research Institute located in the Nevada desert and set out to secure the identity of President Trevor Lorne. To date, we have not secured blueprints for Tronsa’s laboratory, and we cannot predict what will happen the moment we enter. However, considering the firepower levels of the unmanned robots and unmanned drones they use, the teams were divided so that they could defend and attack. This is the best team created considering your abilities and compatibility, so please take this into consideration and let us know if you do not like it. I sent you who each of them became a team with smart goggles now. Please check.”
Then, through Sang-woo’s smart goggles, the message came up.
[Group 4]
[Avatar / Jeong Sang-woo]
[Vision / Buddy Pin]
[Illusion Samurai / Himura]
A total of 3 team members.
Looking at other teams, there were places with 2 people, and there were groups with 4 or 5 people.
‘Buddy Finn is a familiar face. Himura? Ah, he is the leader of the Himura Guild in Japan.’
Sang-woo looked at every face and found a Japanese man with a face that seemed to have ‘I am Himura’ engraved on it.
He seemed unapproachable even at a glance, with a cold chill and a nonchalant expression on his face.
‘It must be difficult to get close.’
Afterwards, Lucas explained how the team members were organized, saying that they were organized to harmonize with each other in terms of tanking dealing support.
Hearing this, Sang-woo looked at his Joe side.
‘Then I’m all-rounder, Mr. Buddy Pin is on the dealing and supporting side, and Mr. Himura seems to be on the dealing side.’
In a word, Sang-woo was the core of his group.
“…Plan A, assuming that there is no fork in the laboratory, is to unite and break through to the deepest level. Assuming that there is a fork in Plan B, the groups will be scattered…”
Afterwards, the hunters heard some explanation about the operation plan.
“You can understand this once. Anyway, the details are from the actual battle.”
Lucas tapped the ear with the smart goggles.
“We’ll be conducting the operation while communicating with smart goggles, so just follow the instructions and you won’t have any problems.”
“Once we’re done, let’s go quickly. I have to go after the party is booked.”
A white man of mixed Arab descent with a bushy beard grumbled.
He was Dan Villerian, an American S-class hunter and famous as a playboy.
Wearing a gold-encrusted hunter suit, he stood out exceptionally.
‘Wow, that person is here too. that’s interesting.’
Sang-woo, whom I only saw through social media, was surprised to see him in the same place.
Of course, it was just that much.
Even if he pretends to be my way, he would have been annoyed if he became a colleague.
“All right. Then we’ll move on right now. Please prepare everything.”
After that, everyone took a look at their equipment.
After getting ready, they looked at Lucas.
And Lucas confirmed that everyone was ready.
“We are leaving. It can be a bit dizzy.”
he uttered a word.
Then
pat-!
In an instant, the environment changed.
The place they appeared was a vast desert with brown and yellow sand and soil.
And in front of them is a square concrete building standing in the middle of the desert.
‘That’s the Tronsa Lab…’
Lucas had moved dozens of hunters into space at once.
While Sang-woo is nervous while looking at the building.
Still, some of them were not able to adapt and were dizzy due to the aftereffects of space movement.
“Lucas…if you’re dizzy, tell me properly that you’re dizzy.”
“I think I’m going to vomit.”
That’s when that little void was created.
A portion of the lab’s ceiling opened, and a series of robots and drones popped out.
Then some of the armor of the robots and drones opened, and weapons came out.
There were few Hunters who were watching the scene properly.
Sang-woo was also watching it.
‘That’s an attack!’
Recalling the satellite image that appeared on the news, Sang-woo immediately became nervous.
“Avoid!”
Then he kicked his feet hard.
Pod!
The body protruded with the power of 100 wits was fired at the robots at tremendous speed in conjunction with the high-level windwork skill.
At the same time,
[Storm Slash]
A violent whirlwind of sword energy erupted from the wind spirit in Sang-woo’s hand,
[Barrier]
A barrier was created blocking the robot’s path,
[Sub-space]
A sub-space opened, and other alter egos began to pop out. did.
