Chapter 199: Otherworld Stone
“······.”
Currently, a hole has been pierced through the dinsional barrier surrounding Earth.
The one who pierced it was the Otherworld God Abrasax, the pierced location was the Otherworld Lord’s torso, and naturally, the hole was connected to the Otherworld.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a connecting passage had been established between Earth and the Otherworld. The Otherworld Managent Bureau wouldn’t have declared they’d pour in their full power for no reason.
In such a situation, what would happen if a jewel condensed with the power of the Otherworld was detonated in the Reverse World?
‘If we’re lucky, it becos a Reverse Otherworld; in the worst case, a new hole will be pierced through the dinsional barrier already weakened by the existing hole.’
As far as Baek Woohyun knew, the Reverse World was a space created in the dinsional gap between Earth and the Otherworld. In other words, piercing a new hole wasn’t far-fetched.
Even thinking such a terrible thing wouldn’t happen was difficult, given the timing of when the jewel containing Otherworld power was discovered was far too coincidental.
“Crazy bastards···.”
“Power of the Otherworld, you say.”
Baek Woohyun explained his speculation, appropriately disguising it as experience from being Test Subject Lee Jun—since he had clashed with Otherworld power several tis.
He vaguely glossed over how he learned about the hole in the dinsional barrier, but the Avengers mbers didn’t ask about that.
Among the Avengers’ rules was “questions probing into the past are forbidden unless voluntarily shared.”
This was because, given their pasts, no one knew when a trigger button might suddenly be pressed, and they understood the gap between happier tis and now, so they showed consideration.
“Hmm.”
Baek Woohyun participating in operations to establish his position within the Avengers and gradually building rapport was also intended to comply with the organization’s rules.
If he forcibly dug into the past trying to find out why Jeong Beomu betrayed them, he risked being suspected as a spy sent by the research facility.
No matter how antagonistic his actions toward the research facility were, the Avengers wouldn’t overlook matters involving their cherished leader.
Anyway, according to Baek Woohyun’s explanation, the jewel condensed with Otherworld power—simply called the ‘Otherworld Stone’—was an extrely horrifying existence even from the perspective of forr test subjects.
This was all the more true since even those burning with hatred toward the research facility knew they had to protect Earth from the Otherworld’s invasion.
Detonating one Otherworld Stone ant the dinsional war that had barely subsided would resu.
‘···Co to think of it, it’s really absurd.’
Test subjects burning with the will to achieve revenge sohow, yet never reaching for the forbidden power of the Otherworld.
anwhile, the research facility—the perpetrators who created test subjects through all kinds of biological experints—not satisfied with that, even dragging in the Otherworld that caused trendous damage to Earth.
Looking at it this way, such a bizarre contrast ford that Baek Woohyun inwardly let out a hollow laugh.
The research facility was even now creating various things at a pace that practically amounted to selling out Earth. To the point where one could believe the Otherworld established the research facility.
“Just what do those bastards want?”
Kim Youngjun said, deep furrows carved into his brow.
His usual cheerful smile was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a serious tone.
“Don’t tell
they think that because it’s a cooperative relationship, they’ll survive even if the Otherworld conquers Earth?”
Kim Youngjun spewed curses, asking what kind of shit they were trying to pull with such complacent judgnt.
Even for him, who could be said to live solely on vengeance against the research facility, the lant of ‘why the hell are those bastards like that?’ inevitably escaped.
Just what about the Otherworld made them think they could maintain a cooperative relationship? Those were beings who waged war to conquer Earth without any dialogue.
“You shouldn’t try to understand trash.”
“Kill them all and it’ll be cleanly resolved.”
“You said sothing good for once. Right. If we kill them all, what’s there to worry about?”
“···Well, yeah. That’s right.”
Not only Seo Dain, who was gradually emitting flas from her body, but even Jang Eunsu, who had been staring at his own shadow, chid in with his opinion.
Going round and round, they ultimately reached consensus on ‘absolutely kill the research facility!’ But etings of vengeful spirits burning with hostility usually reached such conclusions.

“The research facility’s purpose really is unclear.”
-????(for real)
-Seems like sothing went wrong after the Otherworld got involved
-Original purpose was creating a Transcendent, right ????
-Are they trying to make a Transcendent who can even handle Otherworld power? Really don’t know
Jeong Nayeon’s impression wasn’t hers alone, as the viewers’ chat showed similar reactions.
Certainly, the story Baek Woohyun was progressing through was about ten million light-years removed from the original story content they had played.
Originally, the research facility was a subordinate organization of the Corporate Alliance, a place with the purpose of creating a Transcendent through Project: Transcendence.
aning nothing more or less than what Baek Woohyun had confird on ‘that side’.
‘StoryJoa’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[The reason for making a Transcendent is to drive out the Otherworld, but teaming up with the Otherworld is weird;]
“Exactly. Just looking at what they’re doing now, it’s like they’re trying to sell Earth to the Otherworld.”
-The research facility is totally the axis of evil ????
-In other stories too, they were bastards who justified ans for the end
-??? : Anyway, if we make a Transcendent, everything’s solved~
-The Corporate Alliance sponsoring such a place··· hmm···
However, now the research facility spread Otherworld power to Hunting Dogs and Hellhounds, and created Doppelganger bodies for the Otherworld God Abrasax to use as terminals.
Was that all? They even cooperated in piercing a hole in the dinsional barrier to open a passage between Earth and the Otherworld.
Truly content that could be accepted as Earth’s betrayer, humanity’s enemy.
The original purpose of creating a Transcendent by stepping on sacrifices to drive the Otherworld from Earth couldn’t be found anywhere!
“Hmm.”
The Otherworld unilaterally invaded Earth and started a war, which was the dinsional war that occurred before the developnt of isolation space creation technology to contain dinsional erosion phenona—Reverse World/Reverse Planet.
Unable to understand why the research facility, an Earth force that got unilaterally beaten like that, would cooperate with the Otherworld, Jeong Nayeon tilted her head with arms crossed.
The Otherworld’s purpose was to devour Earth, and if Earth was conquered by the Otherworld, not only the research facility but also the sponsoring Corporate Alliance would clearly suffer massive losses, making it all the more puzzling.
“Oh, let’s flip our thinking. What if Earth being conquered by the Otherworld isn’t a loss for the research facility?”
Chloe, who had been pondering sothing, interjected at that mont.
Receiving the gazes of Jeong Nayeon, Cha Seongcheol, and tens of thousands of invisible viewers, she calmly continued her explanation.
“It feels strange because we think of the research facility, an Earth force, as having a cooperative relationship with the Otherworld.”
“Yes. Right.” “That’s correct.”
“But if the research facility and Otherworld have a thorough superior-subordinate relationship, everything’s cleanly explained.”
-That’s plausible?
-Maybe it wasn’t cooperation but being devoured from the start
-Thinking of Project: Transcendence’s original purpose, this seems right ????
-Isn’t this actually worse ????
If it was a superior-subordinate relationship rather than cooperation, everything the research facility had done until now was explained. The question ‘what makes them trust cooperating with the Otherworld?’ was also answered.
Moreover, the Otherworld certainly had such ability. They were beings with a history of waging dinsional war against all of Earth.
With the Otherworld Lord and even the Otherworld God Abrasax involved, there was no reason they couldn’t turn a force like the research facility into puppets.
“Wait, hold on. If the research facility was devoured, then maybe the corporations too···?”
-What
-Gasp
-No way···
-Ah ????
Cha Seongcheol’s suddenly voiced speculation was sowhat valid. The research facility and the sponsoring Corporate Alliance were usually treated as a package.
The problem was that unlike the research facility, which users couldn’t enter, users who left the Otherworld Managent Bureau could enter the Corporate Alliance.
Additionally, Otherworld Managent Bureau vs Corporate Alliance was a structure reminiscent of the two factions that existed in older gas.
Which ant.
‘ManagentBureauSpecialAgent’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[I knew it, these money-crazed bastards are trying to sell out Earth to the Otherworld]
‘CorporateEmployee’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[Ah ???? It’s just a subcontractor organization but you’re forcing hate again, this is why leaving the Bureau is for low-IQ people]
-If your IQ is low, stay in the Bureau and get ground up ????????
-So you escaped and went to a place selling out Earth? ???? I wouldn’t go, thanks
-Don’t you understand research facility ≠ Corporate Alliance
-Ah~ The Otherworld used your sponsorship money so well~
War breaking out between Otherworld Managent Bureau users and Corporate Alliance users was truly an inevitable conclusion.
The hypothesis that the Corporate Alliance was devoured by the Otherworld was a massive bomb dropped between them, who had been constantly fighting over which side was better from the start.
Usually in these situations, the Otherworld Managent Bureau, which had nothing but honor, was pushed back, but this ti the Corporate Alliance’s subcontractor organization research facility had caused too big an incident.
“···They touched sothing they shouldn’t have touched.”
“No, this wasn’t my intention!”
“Oh, in Korea too, Managent Bureau users and Corporate users fight! Amazing!”
-It’s war! Burn everything!
-I knew those Hunting Dog bastards would be like this ????????
-Managent Bureau agents who only surveil civilians running their mouths ????????
-I just want to see the chat burn
