< Craving (1) >
“…What should we do now, Mr. Lucas?”
“…save allies and get rid of all clones.”
It was natural.
In the end, you have to fight.
Sangwoo sighed and opened the subspace.
[Subspace]
And the alter egos that came out of there.
Gluttony flowing like liquid, Envy looking fine, and Sloth lying on the floor as soon as she was caught by Envy.
They were special alter egos of Sang-woo who ate the seven deadly sins.
Another alter ego protruding through the subspace.
“Hmm…”
After a brief sigh, the alter ego looking around without a word was Rust, the alter ego of lust.
Sang-woo, who was at home, saw the current situation and called Rust using the clone technique that had a cooldown.
‘It’s going to be a headache if you make fun of your lower body, but you have to use it when you don’t have enough clones.’
And at the same time as the alter egos jumped in, the clones began to run.
PABABABABABABABABABAK!!!
The clones disappeared and appeared around Sang-woo and his party in an instant.
Sang-woo responded immediately.
[Exhaust Field]
The energy of the Exhaust Field, which incapacitates everyone, radiated from Sloth’s body lying on the floor.
Fluff- Fluff-
But it was the S-class Hunters who fell.
The expressionless replicants attacked as if nothing happened.
Kkwagwagwagwang!
Sang-woo and his alter egos deployed barriers to protect Lucas, who was about to collapse because of the Excuse Field.
‘Exact field doesn’t work…’
Probably because he has almost no ego like an alter ego or machine, it didn’t seem to work.
Sang-woo immediately released the Excuse Field.
Then, using telekinesis, he threw Sloth into the middle of the clones.
Fuck!
Slosth, which flew hard, collided with several clones and fell to the ground.
Thanks to this, the clones’ attention was focused on Sloth.
Kkwagwagwagwang!
The replicants fired red lasers from their bare hands and attacked Sloth.
However, one of Sloth’s abilities is ‘Counter Attack’.
The attack did damage to Sloth, but it ricocheted right through and pierced the clones who attacked him.
With that single counter attack, dozens of cloned humans lost their lives and fell to the ground.
‘That’s right, I’m good at it.’
Sang-woo ordered Sloth to use the skill.
[Vampire Aura]
[Blood Drain]
[Recovery]
[Great Healing] [
Aura Shield]
[Electric Power]
Because I was so lazy, I used some skills, but I didn’t pretend to listen to other skills when I commanded them. Fortunately, this command followed well
Hua-Aak-
Sloses quickly and recovered in light.
Lightning flashed along with the aura shield with vampiric aura around his body.
‘Now, if you are attacked, you will reflect damage and recover, right? Hehe.’
After setting up the sloth, Sang-woo ordered Envy to use the jealousy mark.
[Stigma of Jealousy]
And right after that, Gluttony was sent to a cloned human who was branded with jealousy.
‘Get rid of it.’
Then Gluttony passed the barrier and jumped towards the clone.
Gluttony’s body became limp and turned into liquid.
Instantly swallowed a cloned human.
A cloned human being caught up in the nucleus of gluttony and deleted in an instant.
At the same time, whether the speed of gluttony has increased or it is because of the brand effect of jealousy
[Metalization skill acquired.]
[Blink skill level increased.]
[Muscle strength increased by 0.001]
[Stamina increased by 0.001]
. ..I remembered the system notification that I got a new skill.
‘That’s right.’
Sang-woo felt better when he took away the clone’s ability.
Replicants were also able to enter the scope of the system and gain abilities.
Is that why?
Kwakwang! Kwagwagwang!
Sang-woo looked at Lucas, who had not yet come to his senses due to the aftereffects of Ex Just Field, and the cloned humans who were still excitedly tapping the barriers surrounding Envy and Rust.
The guys who are attacking mercilessly on the barrier with their embarrassing lower legs exposed.
‘Kang Jun-young, no clones. You are also alive, so what are you going to do? I’m sorry, but just blame me for meeting me as an enemy.’
Sang-woo prayed for the clones to rest for a while.
After that, the full-fledged absorption time began.
[Telekinesis]
Gluttony pulls cloned humans to his body with telekinesis.
The power of the guys was very strong, but some who couldn’t find a place to support were pulled out by telekinesis and sucked into Gluttony’s body.
[Blink]
What’s more, Gluttony moved towards the place where many clones were gathered and absorbed them with his Blink skill.
[Fly]
During the cooldown of his Blink skill, he used his flying skill to randomly erase clones.
How much time had passed like that?
While Lucas, who came to his senses, also moved the other hunters to a safe place, Sang-woo erased all clones.
Pod!
And Lucas arrives.
The situation was already over.
“It’s done.”
Sang-woo was looking around the cloned human culture facilities for a while.
He looked at Lucas and said calmly.
“It is also great. It’s really strong. Mr. Sang-woo?”
Lucas said in admiration.
Sangwoo shook his head.
“It would have been difficult for me too if it wasn’t for the power of the Seven Deadly Sins. By the way, I don’t think I can see the person called the chairman here either?”
Lucas nodded at his question.
“I think we should go down further.”
“Hmm…then let’s go right away.”
The other groups are already struggling upstairs and each one must be looking for them.
Lucas nodded as Sangwoo was enough.
“All right. Let’s go right away.”
Sang-woo and Lucas escaped from the cloned human production plant.
Then I went further down the elevator shaft again.
bang!
That’s how I arrived at the 11th floor of the basement.
When I left the elevator room, unlike other places, there was no hallway.
Instead, there was a facility full of monitors and giant machines.
right next to those facilities.
“uh? found.”
“…Trevor Ron.”
Sitting there was Trevor Lone, the man Sang-woo and Lucas had been looking for so long.
He was very focused on what he was doing, not even looking back, not paying attention to whether or not there was an explosion behind him.
“…Experiment number 271 is also a real fan. Run Elisa 272 as well.”
-Test number 272. Run.
Leap- Sang-
woo and Lucas walked with a sound and stood on either side of Trevor Ron.
“President Trevor Lawn. You should go with me.”
Lucas said, placing a hand on Trevor’s shoulder.
Trevor finally looked away from the monitor and looked at Lucas.
He looked like he was in his mid-thirties, a look of annoyance on his face.
“Don’t disturb me and go away. Because you are busy.”
Then it was Trevor who shook off Lucas’ hand and looked at the monitor again.
Sang-woo, who was next to him, was dumbfounded and looked at Lucas.
Lucas, too, looked bewildered.
“…Mr. Ron, you are in no position to refuse. We will arrest you immediately on charges of murder and plotting civil war.”
With that, Lucas put his hand on Trevor’s shoulder.
He intended to use teleportation to travel with Trevor directly to the Tronsa Task Force at a military base in Nevada.
one.
Pit…
The light was about to activate and the sign of teleportation was about to occur, but it went out in an instant.
‘The teleport doesn’t work?’
The moment Lucas panics.
Trevor looked at Lucas again and opened his mouth.
“Teleportra… That doesn’t work here where Elisa is. So don’t interrupt and go. Or take a look at my research.”
It was an indifferent reaction, as if Lucas and Sang-woo were not afraid at all.
Sang-woo, who was a bit dumbfounded by the sight, stepped out.
“Should I just drag it by force?”
Sang-woo asked Lucas in Korean.
But Lucas raised a hand to stop him.
“Hmm, let’s hear what’s going on.”
At those words, Sang-woo tried to move but stopped.
Lucas asked, looking at the small monitor Trevor was looking at.
“Mr. Ron… what is your research? What is it that makes people die and not blink an eye?”
Trevor answered the question.
“My research is to perfectly embody that person with just one piece of DNA. The person’s memories, habits, experiences, emotions, all of which are recorded in DNA, perfectly.”
Trevor says it doesn’t matter.
But the meaning behind those words was never light.
Do people make people?
“…So that’s why you created clones? With that Kang Joon-young?”
Sang-woo, who was listening next to Lucas, sharply shot at him.
At that, Trevor laughed.
“Kang Joon-young… that’s for sure. Subject K102’s amygdala removal surgery was a success, and I was able to gain a lot of information during the process. Originally implemented clones were very emotionally unstable, leading to extreme consequences such as disobeying orders or committing suicide. As a result, I was able to extremely increase the practicality of my human cloning technology and complete a practical model. The first practical clone model CLONE-003 series. Oh, that’s not the model you just dealt with. That’s a slightly improved version.”
It was Trevor who took his eyes off the monitor before he knew it and was talking excitedly.
In the end, they agreed to create a human clone using Kang Jun-young.
That is, calling cloned humans as if they were mechanical devices.
Sang-woo was sarcastically hurt by the way he spoke.
“You talk about humans as objects. Trevor, are you out of your mind?”
Trevor’s smile grew wider as he asked.
“Of course not. Do you think I’m sane? The cataclysm that everyone curses… I am the one who caused it.”
“yes?”
What a sudden cataclysm.
Surprised, Sang-woo looked at Lucas.
But even Lucas, who seemed to know everything, looked surprised as if he knew for the first time.
Lucas asked in a trembling voice.
“…you caused the cataclysm? what kind of crap is that More… talk more about it.”
His lips were trembling.
A very angry expression.
It was the first time Sangwoo had seen Lucas so agitated.
Trevor’s face, which was smiling round and round with a self-deprecating smile, became expressionless.
“Did you not know? I thought maybe you already knew. Project Rainbow… The incident that caused it.”
Project Rainbow or Project Rainbow.
The name more familiar with the Philadelphia Experiment.
The experiment, which had been the hotbed of all sorts of rumors, burst out of Trevor’s mouth.
A rumor he had seen before flashed through Sang-woo’s head.
‘Could it be that the experiment in which space movement was realized for the first time was real?’
And between Trevor and Lucas, conversations like Zen dialogues came and went.
“Are you saying that the portal opened because of Project Rainbow?”
“Exactly. As far as I know, I heard that you are currently managing the first portal.”
Trevor, who completely disrespects Lucas and uses an old-fashioned way of speaking.
But that didn’t matter anyway.
More important than that was the content of the conversation.
“…As expected, the Tibern portal was the first portal.”
“yes. It’s a story for those who already know. You should have known about it in America, but it seems you haven’t heard anything about it. Oh, it’s been so long that everyone who knew the secret must have died?”
Trevor tilted his head.
Then Sang-woo raised a question.
“By the way, Mr. Trevor’s words are a bit strange. You said you caused a cataclysm, but the cataclysm occurred in 2000. And the Rainbow Project or something was carried out in the 1940s during World War II. Wasn’t Trevor not even born then?”
It was a sharp question.
And because of this part, Sangwoo was convinced that Trevor must be a madman.
Because age is ridiculous.
‘Even if you go crazy, you have to go crazy. A young nobleman… uhhh.’
I asked with such a slightly pathetic expression, but the answer was unexpected.
“Oh you mean that? In fact, the 1st Junior President, Trevor Ron, and now the 2nd Generation Junior are all me.”
“yes? Are they all the same person?”
It was shocking.
They’re all the same person.
“No, he looks like he’s in his early to mid-30s, but that’s ridiculous…”
After retorting, Sang-woo suddenly shuts up.
It was a story that would have been possible enough for superhumans living in modern times who said that the average lifespan of 200 years would definitely exceed.
“It is simple. It’s a modification of my body. Let’s say younger.”
said Trevor triumphantly, tugging his cheeks.
And then it was.
-Elisa clone 272 has been stabilized. Shall I awaken?
The artificial woman’s voice, which had been heard since entering earlier, resonated throughout the machine room.
Trevor replied with a smile.
“Oh already? Time has been like that. wake up.”
He rested his head on the monitor.
Lucas and Sang-woo next to him didn’t care at all.
Sang-woo looked at Lucas because he didn’t know what to do because he was facing such a confident and absurd criminal.
but.
‘Mr. Lucas is completely out of his mind.’
Staring into space, dazed was a look of complete shock.
Sangwoo sighed and looked at Trevor.
Then, suddenly, I wondered what he was seeing.
‘But why is such a clever nobleman doing such an experiment to make such a big deal out of it?’
By turning the whole world into an enemy.
So Sang-woo stayed close to Trevor and looked over his shoulder at the monitor screen he was looking at.
There, a naked white woman was standing up from her capsule, covered in juices, as if she had just woken up.
“Who are you? Who is this woman?”
Sang-woo asked Trevor.
Then Trevor Lorne replied with a smile on his face.
“She…is someone I love.”
