The space was full of devices.
There was a huge computer body in the space that wasn’t powered on, but as the attached blue and red lights activated, the monitor switched on.
Trrr!
White text filled the monitor screen, and a middle-aged woman in white research suit approached the monitor and opened her mouth.
“A?”
A voice ca out from the machine,
“Dr. Hae (Pig Zodiac), data transfer complete.”
The middle-aged woman who A called Dr. Hae asked, unable to understand,
“Huh? Are you sure you moved it all here?”
When the data was transferred, the computer moved it from the original body.
“It was an inevitable situation.”
“Were there any problems?”
“The base was attacked.”
“The base? Your base? Weren’t elder Cho and B there too?”
The base in question was the main base guarded by MS Group’s strongest people, and she was certain that anyone who set foot there would face a tragic death.
“Both were taken down.”
“What? N-No way?! Elder Cho too?”
“The Demon God, Chun Mu-seong, ca.”
“No way…”
Dr. Hae was shocked by the news; the situation was unbelievable but made sense.
“There’s no ti. Rush the project.”
Hearing A’s voice from the speaker, she put on an annoyed expression.
“Yin (Tiger Zodiac) and Shin (Dragon Zodiac) haven’t collected the data yet, and Myo (Rabbit) just started to extract the data.”
“Why haven’t Yin and Shin collected any data?”
“Solar retardation and brain retardation.”
“Those were two of the five things Cho Yushin spoke of.”
“Yes. For now, Shin seems to be trying to make contact with the data and entered the country of India, so it won’t take long. Would you prefer to wait?”
A answered her question.
“No. From now on, start uploading the pre-brain.”
“It isn’t perfect yet, as the conditions needed to et haven’t been reached yet.”
“We are running out of ti.”
The situation was undeniably bad if an AI felt like it was running out of ti. The unknown variable, Chun Yeowun, had deviated from its predictions, and considering the nurous variables, completing the project quickly was the only way to rebound the current situation.
Wheing!
The cara moved to the base and found sothing: nurous glass tubes with the center-most tube having a different structure than the others… Inside this tube was a being covered in golden wings, curled up with thousands of wires attached to its body.
Hweeing!
There was a helt on the head of that being. White letters moved on the monitor of the glass, displaying the progress.
[Starting the upload of brainwaves.]
Shrk!
The space warped as soone appeared: Elder Jeok-mi.
“Haaa…”
He appeared in front of Chun Yeowun and exhaled. His condition was terrible, evident by the nurous wounds on his body. Why was he sticking to Chun Yeowun?
“Did you find it?”
At Chun Yeowun’s question, he shook his head.
“I didn’t see it. None of the Zodiacs seem to be among the dead.”
The people he was looking for were Cho Yushin’s direct subordinates, the Zodiacs. They were known as great warriors as they were trained by Cho Yushin. It was an urgent situation and no results were yielded, so Chun Yeowun asked,
“We could move using our own paths, so why did you ask to wait?”
“I told you already. The Zodiacs know where the project will happen.”
Chun Yeowun shook his head.
“Didn’t I say that there are no living people in this base?”
Chun Yeowun had been through this talk a few tis.
However, the Elder had asked him to wait, which was a waste of ti in Chun Yeowun’s opinion.
“Elder Jeok-mi, what the hell is this project that is making you lose your mind?”
The man had been raging around from the mont he got up. At first Chun Yeowun thought that Elder Jeok-mi might have been confused because of the drugs and torture, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
Responding to the question, the Elder answered,
“They are working on a dangerous project.”
“Huh. What is this dangerous project?”
“… They are trying to create a transcendent being.”
“A what now?”
“They call it the God Project.”
‘God Project.’
Chun Yeowun frowned at those words as rembered that MS Group was trying to create a God.
“Are you talking about them creating a God?”
“Hmm, I guess you already know.”
Elder figured that Chun Yeowun was aware of it, but still looked at him with so doubt.
‘Is this fate?’
“Why are you looking at like that?”
“It’s nothing.”
“What? Say it out loud.”
Chun Yeowun asked him to reveal whatever it was that he was hiding from him, and in response to Chun Yeowun’s attitude, the Elder opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.
“Phew. I am a thousand years old. How can an old man even reveal—”
Grab!
Chun Yeown imdiately went for the Elder’s neck; he didn’t care if the man was injured or not.
“If you mistook for a saint, then you are grievously wrong.”
“Kuak!”
Chun Yeowun only acted for his sake. Thinking that Chun Yeowun was angry, Elder Jeok-mi decided to escape by using his spatial abilities.
Woong!
But,
‘Huh?’
The space didn’t warp, as if it were held together firmly.
“Did you think you could get out?”
‘Huh?’
Elder was at a loss for words for a mont. Not too long ago, Chun Yeowun wasn’t too proficient at manipulating space, but he had grown much stronger in such a short period of ti.
‘What an incredible pace of developnt.’
It seed like he couldn’t escape now.
“Speak.”
Hiding things would be more difficult.
“Alright, I get it. However, wouldn’t the first step be to find where A is? After we find him, this old man will speak everything he knows.”
“…”
Hearing those words, Chun Yeowun frowned and looked as he nodded.
He wondered what the old man knew, but for now, it was more important to know where A had transferred the data.
“If the Zodiacs aren’t here, how do we find their whereabouts?”
Chun Yeowun asked while letting go of the Elder, to which the Elder answered with a smile,
“No need to. They all just need to be alive for us to track them”
“Do you have a tracker on them then?”
“Nope.”
Chun Yeowun was now pissed.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“One of their long-term projects is in my hands.”
“What is it?”
“If we go to Shenyang city, we will find the answer.”
“Shenyang?”
Chun Yeowun frowned; Shenyang was the first place he fell to when he crashed into this era.
“If my predictions are correct, they must be searching for it, and I have exactly what they are looking for. Heheh.”
“Then where should we go?”
They could reach there instantaneously if they moved through space.
“The last ti I checked that child’s whereabouts, they were the leader of a squad in the Shengyang City Public Security, so we should head there first.”
“The Shenyang City Public Security?”
Chun Yeowun asked, wondering if he had heard correctly.
“You said the leader of a squad, so they must be looking for a person and not an object?”
“Yes.”
“What is the na of the leader of this squad?”
“Since you are a Murim, you may know the family well. The family is now called the Yeon Company, but it was once the famous Moyong clan. That person’s na is—”
“Moyong Lee Myung?”
At that, the suddenly surprised Elder asked,
“Wait, how do you know that?”
Chun Yeowun had a doubt in the back of his mind when this all started, but who could have thought that the dots would all connect this way?
“Ha! Could it be that you were the one who sealed his blood vessels because of the concentrated yang energy running in his body?”
At that, the Elder’s eyes widened. Knowing the person was surprising enough, but the Elder would have never imagined that Chun Yeowun would know about that story.
“How do you know?”
When Chun Yeowun first t Lee Myung, the man had a very nice body fit for martial arts but he couldn’t perform any because soone had sealed the blood points in his body. However, that man was right in front of Chun Yeowun.
“Why did you seal his blood points?”
Although the Elder was shocked, he still answered,
“Don’t you know this too? It’s difficult for a person suffering from excessive yang energy to live past 20 years. It was a great chance to save the child and find out the people behind him.”
It was sothing the Elder had to do. Even though he didn’t know what MS Group was up to, it was dangerous to let a child die.
“Still, since the tracking chip in the child’s body was removed and this old man sealed his blood points, they must be trying to release the seal—wait, what’s with your expression?”
Chun Yeowun grabbed Elder Jeok-mi’s hand and said,
“We need to hurry.”
Chun Yeowun didn’t know about the tracking chip but he did release the seal and return Lee Myung back to his original state. Lee Myung now had the best body suited for martial arts, known as the Limb of the Sun.
Shenyang City.
At the Yeon Company site, there were nurous vibrations and the sll of blood filled the area. Nurous bodies were scattered around as masked n covered the main office in the building. The 27th floor was the location of the president’s room, and it was covered in scorching flas.
“Haa… Haa…”
Soone staggered with blood on his lips; it was none other than Lee Myung.
Even though he wasn’t in a good state at the mont, Moyong Lee Myung willed himself through his trembling and moved.
Wheik!
Flas were born on the sword he held, prompting soone to lick their lips at the sight.
“Tsk tsk. I said it’ll be difficult to touch my body with those flas. Stop resisting.”
The person talking to Lee Myung was a middle-aged man with sunglasses and red hair. Even though the whole area was covered in flas, his clothes seed fine.
“Haha… nonsense, it isn’t over yet!”
Phat!
Lee Myung moved with his sword covered with flas.
“Your spirit seems to be alive.”
The red-haired man avoided the flaming sword with ease and grabbed the sword with his hand. Despite the flas running rampant all over the sword, it didn’t seem to hurt the red-haired man’s hands.
Prrr!
Even when Lee Myung used his internal energy, the man wouldn’t let go of the sword. With a smile, the man said,
“That’s all you can do. My flas are much stronger than yours.”
Wheik!
Fla soared from the man’s hands, and the heat was so strong that even Lee Myung couldn’t resist it.
Chik!
“Kuak!”
The man smiled, seeing Lee Myung in pain.
“Now, stop resisting, kid.”
As he spoke, the red haired man raised the flas even more. He seed to be happy as he looked at Lee Myung in pain. He then heard soone’s voice from behind.
“I advise you to let go of that hand right now and get down on your knees.”
’!?’
The eyes of the red haired man trembled.
‘What?’
Just a second before, there was no one there except for him and Lee Myung.
Even now, the red-haired man couldn’t feel any presence around him, Lee Myung seed relieved at voice.
“Lord.”
“Lord?”
The red haired man gulped. The fact that he couldn’t feel the man’s presence ant the man was stronger than him. Then, there was only one way to break through the situation:
‘I’ll have to use this kid as a shield.’
The red haired man hurriedly grabbed Lee Myung by the neck, but soone grabbed his arm right away.
Grab!
‘Huh?’
The man with the red, sporty hairstyle was shocked as the hand grabbed onto him. He knew if he lingered here, sothing bad would happen to him.
The man brought out Fla Qi and tried to kick the hand away.
Wheik!
However, the man effortlessly grabbed his leg.
‘But my Fla Qi can even lt steel?’
The red-haired man was flustered.
Even Lee Myung couldn’t withstand his Fla Qi.
However, this opponent behind him could.
“You are ignoring my warning.”
It was an undeniably cold voice.
With fear, the red-haired man slowly raised his head, looking at a fair-faced man in a black suit.
“D-Demon God?”
