< The door to the new world (5) >
As soon as the entrance to the ejection port was closed, the water inside the ejection port started to discharge somewhere.
Shootaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
sight …
It was a space made of dark steel material.
‘Here it is.’
A secret place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Sang-woo realized at once that this was the Tibern portal management office he was looking for.
‘I have to go inside now…’
Sang-woo looked inside the space that appeared to be the ejection port and looked for a space that could be entered inside.
It was then.
A mobile torpedo battery that came out of the ejection port and is currently stationary inside the ejection port.
Above it, the ceiling opened, and torpedoes descended one after another through a mechanical container belt.
‘There it is.’
It is a space where no hole can be seen except for the torpedo coming down steadily.
But Sang-woo had a way to get in.
It’s because there was a ‘Liquid’ skill.
‘Go up.’
At Sang-woo’s command given immediately, Gluttony’s already liquefied body bounced up and was sucked into the ceiling toward the torpedo charging port.
A situation where you want to successfully infiltrate.
But Sang-woo also had an unexpected accident.
Swoouuuuu –
The core of gluttony revealed by the Liquify skill.
Digging into a narrow space of less than 10cm, of course, Gluttony’s gluttony core had no choice but to come into contact with the torpedo.
And the torpedo that touched there was sucked up in an instant and disappeared.
[The Heritage RX-03 torpedo has been absorbed.]
And a system message is heard.
Sang-woo realized that he had made a mistake.
‘Oh… I didn’t think of nuclear weapons.’
It was a problem that was bound to arise because Sang-woo chose Gluttony as his alter ego for infiltration.
In fact, Sangwoo was able to use Liquify to move as an alter ego other than Gluttony.
But why did you choose Gluttony?
Sang-woo tried to advance straight forward by drilling a hole with the power of gluttony when he saw a dead-end space about the Tibern Portal Management Center, which had little information.
In particular, according to Ashley, the management office had the role of completely blocking the portal, so there was no entrance directly connected to the portal, and it was because of the information that only Lucas’ teleportation ability could lead to the portal entrance.
‘It’s a sign that this has happened. I have no choice but to get caught if I want to break through in the end anyway.’
Sang-woo immediately moved Gluttony’s body quickly.
Gluttony wriggling like slime, but moving at great speed like water rushing.
When he saw a dead end, he pierced a hole with the core of gluttony and moved forward.
And was it because he moved so ignorantly?
– Intruder Outbreak Intruder out
– Go into full alert.
– Complete blockade of Sector A is being implemented.
– Get everyone ready for battle.
As Sang-woo expected, warning broadcasts rang out from everywhere with loud sirens and mechanical sounds.
“Sector A? It is here.”
“Quiet everyone! Each area searched and reported. Move!”
“Old story!”
And from above where Gluttony was moving, the sound of busy footsteps could be heard.
It seems that the resident agents have also begun to move in earnest to find the intruder.
‘There is no time.’
In fact, Sang-woo had no idea how great the resident agents would be.
However, if you hit it well, it should be about the level of an A-rank hunter.
There’s no way an S-class Hunter would be guarding a place like this in the first place.
And if it was only an A-class hunter, Sang-woo was never afraid.
Now, even if dozens or hundreds of such Hunters or Awakeners came, I was confident that I would win.
He had other things to worry about.
‘I hear that Lucas will fly right in when the intrusion alarm goes off.’
Yes.
When a portal invasion occurred, Lucas immediately flew to the management office using his teleportation ability and wiped out the intruders.
Resident agents and facilities were only used to keep outside intruders at bay.
‘I’m confident of winning, but if I get caught, I’ll be in trouble…’
Sang-woo didn’t like such an uncomfortable situation, so he moved to the deepest part rather quickly.
When viewed from the dome-shaped prison camp, it was in a straight line toward the innermost part.
Heo-Hae-
I suck everything that stops without sound and move a few times.
In the process, a commotion occurred, such as sparks flying or lights going out, as if they had touched something that managed the power inside the camp.
Kwagwagwang-!
* * *
Once again, the warning broadcast echoed through the portal management office.
-All members, please gather at the deepest part of the portal.
Was it because Sang-woo’s infiltration route, which was moving in a straight line for speed, was too simple?
Instead of a search order, the order was diverted to defending the portal.
“Fuck! Where the hell is this intruder? Are you going to become invisible?”
“Maybe. First of all, defend the portal, which is the first priority to be protected!”
The grumbling resident agents.
That’s because he was just running around without seeing the shadow of the intruder.
Unless they had at least some clairvoyance, they couldn’t spot Gluttony moving through the narrow cracks in their floors and ceilings.
While they are busy moving like that, the deepest part of the prison camp.
There, a normal-sized portal that looked no different from other portals was floating there.
and after a while
Pod!
Lucas appeared before him.
“What is going on?”
– An intruder has occurred.
“How many? Report properly.”
-That’s… I didn’t see the intruder. So I haven’t figured out how many there are yet.
“Hmm…”
Lucas frowned at the words of the resident agent team leader he trusts.
“Did you get the location?”
-Looking at the current facility destruction path, it is infiltrating in a straight line toward the portal. Right in front of the portal!
“Ahead of this?”
While Lucas looks around in confusion.
A strange electricity flowed through the entire space surrounding the portal
.
Then, the lights that were shining brightly everywhere went off, and the space was plunged into darkness in an instant.
Pak!
The only thing visible in this dark space was a strange portal emitting a soft light.
However, even that light was different from the general light we know, so it was not completely visible light.
‘Oops…’
Of course, this darkness couldn’t block Lucas’ vision as a superman.
Lucas, who had completed the time to adjust slightly, looked through the darkness of the space as if it were broad daylight and was wary of all directions.
At that time, a strange sensation that tickled his sixth sense.
‘It’s here!’
He quickly used his telephrac technology to summon objects from subspace to the location and attack.
bang!
The floor near the portal crumbled along with the dark orb he summoned.
But there was nothing there.
‘Was it an illusion?’
Lucas thought so and became alert again.
As if not missing a single one.
And while Lucas was nervous, the system message rang again.
– The occurrence of a malfunction in the main core power generation system.
– Initiate a core reboot.
– Preliminary core development starts.
A few seconds after the mechanical voice of the management office system spread,
the light came on again in the room where
the pot- portal was.
Then, a huge spherical room with a visible portal.
Lucas didn’t stop being vigilant after that.
In addition, after a few seconds, resident agents and robots surrounded the space surrounding the portal and stood guard.
how much time has passed like that
“…hmm.”
After a considerable amount of time had passed, Lucas opened his mouth as if he had lost his nerve.
“Who is the intruder?”
– Couldn’t find it.
Report from the resident agent team leader.
“What is the intrusion route?”
-It seems that they broke into the immediate vicinity of the portal. However, no trace was found after that.
“Hmm…”
A strange intruder who came right in front of the portal and disappeared.
I couldn’t even see his face, so I couldn’t tell if he was a human or a monster.
“For now, keep a 24-hour alert.”
-yes. All right.
Lucas gave the obvious order and inspected the space surrounding the portal once more.
A smooth space with no entrance in sight.
And the portal in the middle and the Creator in the bottom near it.
It was a trace of the telephrac he had cast.
Other than that, nothing strange caught my eye.
‘…hmm?’
No, looking back, I noticed something strange.
Strange bites in sunken bottom pits.
‘Why don’t you bite.’
It is a closed room and the humidity is always constant due to the constant temperature and humidity control device.
‘Bite…’
He tried to think of water-manipulative or monsters.
However, there were no characters or monsters that came to mind.
However, I couldn’t stop feeling uncomfortable.
If the intruder had already crossed the portal without even knowing it…
‘Just in case.’
Lucas’ gaze turned to the portal.
Pod!
* * *
And that time.
As Lucas feared, Sang-woo had already crossed the portal.
In fact, Sang-woo was ignorantly heading towards the portal in a straight line.
‘I was lucky.’
He was able to find a room near the portal that matched the information Ashley gave him just before reaching the deepest part.
Sang-woo knew roughly the location of the portal from there through the information Ashley gave him.
From there, I carefully moved slowly so as not to get caught in the system.
As much as possible, try not to touch the system with Gluttony’s core.
And the place he was aiming for was a plan to move to the bottom of the portal.
Eventually, Sang-woo arrives at the closest place to the portal.
But there was something he didn’t expect.
There was a very narrow space where wires were intertwined.
‘It’s a quick fight.’
Escape is quick if you use the subspace, but I didn’t want to run away after coming this far.
So in the end, Sang-woo made the choice to break through quickly, and inevitably, an unfortunate incident occurred where a bunch of wires melted(?) into Gluttony’s core.
‘I thought it was ruined then.’
But what
Suddenly, the electricity crackled, and an unusual incident (?), even to Sang-woo, spread throughout the prison camp.
And there is no way Sang-woo will miss that opportunity.
He immediately moved Gluttony into the room with the portal.
‘At that time, I thought they were going behind.’
And as soon as he went up through the room with the portal, he was hit hard.
The attack went right through Gluttony’s liquid body.
It was Lucas’ telephrac attack that instantly moved an object and overlapped it with the object to destroy it.
An attack so devastating that half of Gluttony’s liquid body could be blown away in an instant.
Of course, there was no great damage because he had great resilience with his Aqua Ruler skill and had a gluttony core inside.
That’s why it was Sang-woo who immediately ignored the attack and sent Gluttony sliding toward the original target portal.
A portal that goes beyond that.
Sang-woo was very happy because it was a valuable journey to reach the end of thousands of kilometers of submergence over Hawaii by plane.
‘But I didn’t know it was in a place like this…?’
But I couldn’t be more happy.
It was because of the appearance in front of my eyes.
Wriggling –
Wriggling –
Have you ever seen the dark red forest?
A strange dark red slime that clings to trees.
It was a terrible sight, as if a lump of life’s protein had been transplanted into a tree.
And perhaps because of the trees surrounded by such dark red lumps, the entire forest looked bloody dark red.
“…Is this a true story?”
Sang-woo, who had just crossed the Tibern portal, opened his mouth wide.
I’ve been through many portals, but I’ve never seen such a horrible, hellish sight.
It was as if slime, like a dungeon core, had taken over the entire forest.
Moreover, as if trying to prove that the
grotesque
tree that seemed to be combined with the protein life-form wasn’t just the appearance, he hit Sang-woo with a branch.
‘Where.’
Sangwoo immediately pointed his right index finger at the tree.
[Fire]
Then, a cloud-like flame rises.
Hua Ah Ah-
Fireworks instantly burned trees.
