"It is a shark, but it's like it's heavily drugged. Like an addict."

These are Park Jin Hyuk's thoughts on the baby Deep-Sea Teeth he sees in the mirror image. It looks like a shark on the outside. Like all other mutants however, it isn't normal. It has the slick lines of a fish. But it is muscular as if it is on steroids.

The crazy thing is that it is a baby that will get much bigger from here.

Sea General said that an adult Deep-Sea Teeth is at least 150m. That means it's one of the biggest mutants.

It is smaller than h.e.l.l Mammoth and Blood Lord, but it can be expected to be similar since he said 'at least'. Even the baby looks to be about 30m. Mutants are all strength. It is just a baby, but it is larger than the Megalodon, a species that dates back tens of thousands of years.

If it were human, it would have been born with a silver spoon.

"Just looking it over, it looks like it'll be stronger than a level 6, but weaker than a level 7."

Cha Jun Sung stretches his body. His mission. Capture the baby. There are a lot of issues with using the Albatrus to catch it.

The goal is simple. He needs to bring it where the Albatrus is anch.o.r.ed, not even 50m deep into the water. They won't be able to communicate, so he needs to injure it so that it doesn't die but so that it cannot move. They will commence battle as soon as the Deep-Sea Teeth arrive.

The baby had no idea what was about to happen to it, and indiscriminately ripped apart the mutants swimming in the Lifers' blood in order to have all the blood for itself.

It is young, but the blood of a level 8 does not go anywhere. It has a weak yet present desire to establish itself as a predator.

Bang!

The Albatrus' ceiling opens. Cha Jun Sung shoots out like a missile.

It is 300m deep. With the Albatrus at 250m, there is no reason to go through the ocean. It'll just leave a watercourse.

[Function switch! Power mode!]

Particles in the nanometers compress and the battlesuit becomes full. It has changed to adjust to the maximized power.

"I'll play with you until your mom and dad get here. Though you'll never want to play again."

He looks like an eagle going after its prey. Cha Jun Sung was floating in the air when he plummeted toward the baby playing in the red water. The baby didn't bother with him. It just thought that he was a strange bird.

Cha Jun Sung's body slam went through the water and collided with the baby's back. The back twists abnormally. Its spine broke under the crash.

The baby's eyes roll back and its body trembles in pain. Cha Jun Sung doesn't pay attention, and grabs its tail. Switching the function doesn't have a clear effect when fighting against a strong opponent. Power gets specialized, so it is good to use only when that function is necessary.

Like now with the power mode when he needs maximum strength.

Cha Jun Sung whips the tail. He slams the baby into a shallow area as though practicing judo. Its weight is in the tons, but the battlesuit as a product of science and his stage 10 body modifications make this possible.

Cha Jun Sung laughs as he watches the baby suffer. If it is here, it won't be able to sink too low.

He won't leave it so they can take it away. Unless the Deep-Sea Teeth intend to abandon the baby, they will need to fight the Lifers to the end.

[Lifer Cha Jun Sung! There is a strong vital reaction coming from below!]

Instead of responding to Odin's warning, Cha Jun Sung turned the Overbooster on and went up into the sky. At that moment, the sea opens up and a monster appears. A giant shadow forms on the water. The male Deep-Sea Teeth left the baby and jumped in order to catch Cha Jun Sung.

The 200m body uses its tail strength to jump out. Cha Jun Sung couldn't stop his Overbooster.

The second he does, he will be sucked into its abyss of a throat.

"I'll start since you attacked, alright?"

Gravity pulls the male back down. Cha Jun Sung stopped running away and turned on the reverse booster to fly right in front of the male's nose.

Overhead kick. Cha Jun Sung spun his body in the air, stood backwards, and kicked with the Overbooster's power.

Bang!

The shock from his foot crushes the male's nose. It was on the verge of regenerating, but this is just the start. It got swept without being able to recover its body.

The male had been up at bat first. The female swoops in to attack after waiting under sea level.

[Level A special mission Deep-Sea Teeth is being applied! Measuring difficulty, advancement! Authority approval! Advancement system applied with level 8 overlap!]

[Level A special mission: Deep-Sea Teeth] [Goal: Attainment]

[Description: The wide sea is as ferocious as land. The ocean could even be more ferocious than land. In the middle of the ocean, one of the three predators dividing the Pacific Ocean is the Deep-Sea Teeth aka Shark Kings. Break the teeth of these vicious tyrants!] [Reward: 80,000,000,000 points. Lucky box.]

It is an advancement. 80 trillion reward points. This is more than what he got for Vanessa. It seems he is being given more points because of the geographical disadvantage. If it had just been one, how many points would they have given him? They would have given him 20 to 30 trillion, right?

Boom boom boom boom!

While the advancement special mission was being applied, Lifers poured out of the Albatrus. He succeeded in luring the Deep-Sea Teeth to sea level.

It isn't easy to take on two Deep-Sea Teeth at the same time with the power of the Albatrus. The s.h.i.+p and Lifers need to fight from their respective positions.

Woong!

The Albatrus operates its engine. As the porthole opens, 300 submersibles scatter out. It is total war. They intend on using everything.

Boom boom boom boom!

The Albatrus showed itself at sea level, went in reverse, and fires the hydraulic guns and hydraulic impact guns. 100 portholes explode without stopping. A black horde of sharks hesitated under the power of the hydraulic guns.

That was just momentary.

They show their sharp teeth. Sacrifices are a given to take down an enemy. They advance with their peers as a s.h.i.+eld.

300 submersibles build a low line of defense, but they get destroyed one at a time like with the Turtle Babies.

They are both mutants, but sharks and mutants are different species.

Unlike turtles, sharks - white sharks in particular - had a bad reputation even before they became mutants. Now that they are mutants, they have become more fierce and go after their prey even at the risk of death.

[Perspective mode!]

"Block them so they can't get to the s.h.i.+p!"

More than 900 level B Lifers are on top of the Albatrus as they use distance weapons like reinforced rifles to attack the swarm of sharks. One person couldn't find a place to install an automatic cannon, and instead held it himself as it fired. They can tell what direction the sharks are coming because of the perspective mode.

The smell of gunpowder permeates the battlefield. Casings fall through the ocean. They even threw bombs and loaded bazookas. Advanced cyborgs that aren't helpful in battle, kept providing those Lifers with supplies so that they wouldn't run out.

They have items that they need on the spot in their s.p.a.ce compression bags, but they need to use what can be supplied easiest at the end so that they can last for a long time.

They can't provide time for the sharks to get near while they reinforce their supplies.

[Warning! Below sea level! Multiple enemies appearing below the Albatrus!]

"f.u.c.k!"

"d.a.m.n!"

Bang!

Lifers curse. It seems like they are gathered together at random, but they are divided into forces and they each have their own roles. Two of the forces attacking the front from the top, 200 Lifers turn their boosters on and dove into the sea without delay.

They are incomparably less compared to those at sea level, but another group of about 5000 sharks is coming up at them.

Even though they try to fire at them in order to stop their approach and to decrease their numbers, it isn't possible to do with 200 people. But that doesn't mean they can call for backup. It is worse at sea level.

"d.a.m.n it! Die!"

"I'm going!"

15 parties of the 200 Lifers, 150 people took out vibrating weapons. 50 people are still pulling the trigger from a distance.

Bang bang bang!

500 mutants, most of which are levels 3 and 4 with very few levels 5 and 6s collide with 150 level B Lifers who are stronger than level 6s.

Dozens of mutants per person. They would have been fighting with easy steps and weapon switches if they had been on land, but this is the ocean.

Lifers couldn't remain whole with the onslaught of sharks coming from all directions.

One Lifer lost an arm while fighting level 5 and 6s alone. He would have been shredded already if it hadn't been for his battlesuit.

The Lifers are only thinking one thing. Not to die even if their arms and legs get cut off.

And they were hoping for the Rankers to hurry up and end this h.e.l.l of a fight for them. But the place that was worse than sea level was the Rankers' battlefield.

Lifers and mutants alike couldn't approach that battlefield.

There are 22 people. It is a small number, and they are taking on a pair of Deep-Sea Teeth and 7 level 7s.

Ghost Gun Lim Si Hyun moves through the ocean with his revolver, an automatic pistol and deathblow for control rather than killing.

Shadow moving.

It is a skill that Ghost Gun's 9 combination battlesuit has. The combinations are not for attacking by foot, but shadow moving focused on evasion.

Papapat!

As he retreats, a pointy dorsal fin is following him. It goes through the water as it chases the shadow moving.

Lim Si Hyun didn't look forward as he ran. There are no obstacles in his way, so he can move backwards while attacking with his automatic pistol.

Level 7 Blade Shark.

It is a nimble mutant that uses its sharp dorsal fin to cut its opponent rather than the shark specialty of ripping them apart. The dorsal fin is 5m high and more than 20m long. Looking at just its back, it is a giant sword. It's big enough to sink a large yacht.

Lim Si Hyun quickly changes the magazines for his automatic pistol and revolver. It's a pistol, but it's as big as a person. The weight of the two guns combined is close to 100kg.

"Leave those to them. I'll take this one."

Lim Si Hyun focused on his opponent, the Blade Shark. A special mission was activated as soon as Cha Jun Sung was attacked by the Deep-Sea Teeth.

There had been a signal for the start of the battle. Lifers immediately scrambled, and hordes of sharks came in from everywhere within an hour.

The pair of Deep-Sea Teeth, like a trisection of the Pacific Ocean predators they are, they have countless underlings. The baby is in pain, trying to regenerate. They need to go help it, but there are too many obstacles stopping them.

The swarm of sharks that responded to the hair raising roar of the level 8 took on the level B Lifers and Albatrus. There is nothing they can do.

A few Rankers tried to help, but their situation isn't great either. In the swarm of sharks, there are 7 level 7s as well.

They were all sharks and as much as they looked different, they had various abilities. If there are fast and sharp ones like Blade Shark, there are also ones that are slow but with excellent defense capabilities.

So the Rankers each took charge of the mutants that they could handle, and lured them away to an area where they could fight comfortably. Each fought their best. Cha Jun Sung took one level 8. The other 13 people took another one. Kyoko is a level A Lifer, but she cannot fight because she is a medic.

Papapat!

The shadow moving becomes elaborate. Lim Si Hyun's body fades and divides into dozens. He hadn't really been divided into pieces.

The Blade Shark wasn't taken aback. It just saw everything as the enemy and attacked. There is one main body, and the rest is an effect. It was in vain.

Boom!

The wave that the Deep-Sea Teeth generated split the vacuum wave that Cha Jun Sung's Hades created, creating an eardrum shaking roar.

Lim Si Hyun turned his head subconsciously while focusing on the Blade Shark. His attention turned without his will. Cha Jun Sung is taking on a level 8 that they could not take on while on land, in the sea.

He doesn't retreat. He is confronting it head on.

And next to them, 13 Rankers who are geared more toward group action are confusing a giant Deep-Sea Teeth.

Among them is Park Jin Hyuk's group, Cha Jun Sung's party members.

"With a level A store… is this the limit?"

The standard of level A is pioneering.

They cannot take on level 8 with this kind of strength. They need to become complete level S in order to gain the strength to fight against level 8.

He doesn't know about level 9.

He's never seen one for himself and even in the virtual version, Cha Jun Sung is the only one who succeeded in a raid. Cha Jun Sung will be able to compare them.

"We're in the middle."

The Rankers' abilities are stuck between levels 7 and 8.

How strong is Cha Jun Sung?

Would he have recovered his abilities from the virtual version? They'll be able to know by watching him.
