episode_0021

My Russian team members and I boarded the boat and entered the gate.

Rails and mechanical devices were installed under the ship to push the ship into the gate, but the detailed mechanism is unknown.

Anyway, as soon as I entered the gate, I felt a salty smell.

And all in sight was the blue sea.

The sea is so dark blue that you can’t see the inside, but it’s a bright color rather than dark, so it feels strange.

‘You mean monsters are attacking the ship here?’

There was no need to use telekinesis to search for monsters.

A machine called an ultrasonic detector or something was attached to the ship.

My role is to detect alien cores and intercept and kill monsters attacking from the sea using telekinesis.

The navigator started the engine in the pre-designated direction and I saw a loud noise and waves being created in the calm sea.

Beep-beep-beep

It must have been about 3 minutes since we left the gate. Monsters who are attracted to the noise of the ship and a detector that detects it and rings.

I used my telekinetic powers and sighed.

“This sea is deep and there seem to be a lot of monsters… I’m going to have a hard time.”

As I said, this attack lasted for thirty minutes and I caught close to 40 monsters.

Giant fish, frogman, octopus, space cockroach, coral snake, grotesque plankton.

I encountered a variety of monsters, and all of them looked terrible except for the coral snake.

“Woof… Wow.”

A telekinetic Russian who vomits.

I was beside myself with the horror of space cockroaches and grotesque plankton.

The space cockroach was a huge bug with 12 legs, and when its body was broken by my telekinesis, its babies sprang out and covered the sea, and the grotesque plankton was a very cosmic creature with tentacles that sparkled like starlight and showed its internal organs. It had an appearance.

“Oh fuck.”

I was also displeased with the baby space cockroaches that were trying to gnaw on the corpses of monsters spread across the surrounding sea or climb onto the ship, so I used my telekinesis to crush them all and kill them.

Except for the Grotesque Plankton, most of them were E-level beasts, similar to tigers or brown bears, but they were numerous and grotesque.

“Let’s leave quickly. Because of the monster’s corpse, other monsters will also be confused.”

“Ah… the material is a waste…”

We just ran away without collecting the material.

They weren’t monsters that made a lot of money anyway.

After that, we fought hordes of monsters almost every 15 minutes.

“Why are there so many monsters in such a small area? This is why the psychic response is high.”

I was appalled by the quantity of monsters.

After traveling for a full six hours, we were able to reach the edge of outer space, a wall covered in aurora.

It would have taken 2 hours at the original speed of the ship, but it was delayed due to meeting too many monsters.

After reaching the wall, we turned the boat around again, this time moving to a location 300 meters away from the original route, and returned to the gate.

The ocean was deep and a meticulous exploration had to be conducted in case the alien core was located beneath the ocean.

‘The gate area is the size of two Gwanak-gu districts, but because it is in the sea, it is not easy to find an alien core.’

If it had been land, it would have been convenient to calculate it in a two-dimensional manner, but since it was the sea, the height had to be calculated as well, so the area to be searched was much larger.

‘This is why, when the large gate in the ocean terrain opens, it brings in all hunters from home and abroad.’

The damage from the back-end fusion was great and it was difficult to attack.

While returning to the direction where the gate was, something was discovered by the ultrasonic detector.

“Is this… a relic?”

An unidentified structure on the sea floor.

According to regulations, these structures sometimes have vast spaces inside, so they must be thoroughly explored.

“How do you usually explore cases like this?”

“Sometimes you bring specialized equipment… but sometimes you just enter using telekinesis.”

And then the Russian navigator glances at me.

‘Yeah… I guess it’s annoying for you to go back and forth too.’

To be honest, it was a hassle and a hassle for me, so I decided to just go in alone.

Me jumping into the sea from a ship.

The sea water is only slightly pushed away by the telekinetic force that surrounds my body.

I realized that if I expand my telekinetic power to a large extent, I would float due to buoyancy, so I compressed my telekinetic power to a small size.

A telekinetic sphere that slowly sinks and dives.

The beautiful scenery under the sea… is a mess.

The sea was all blue, so I couldn’t see anything inside.

‘Is there something strange mixed into the seawater?’

I spread my telekinetic power thinly and mixed it with the sea to detect the surroundings.

It was a fairly difficult skill, so I had to concentrate, but as I sank to the depths of the sea, something started rushing towards me.

‘Is it a monster?’

What I feel is that the body is like a snake.

I could feel the sea water starting to press against my telekinesis.

‘Salt water power, Hydrokinesis! Seeing that there is also physical strengthening, it must be Knucker!’

It was at least a C-class giant monster.

I felt Knuckles wrapping his body around my telekinetic sphere and dragging it beneath the sea.

Of course, I also used my telekinetic power to attack Knucker, but the power was weak as I maintained the sphere of telekinetic power.

Nucker’s body strengthening ability was also C-level, so even though it took a hit, it was enough to withstand it.

‘The sea sure is tricky.’

With my physical ability, I could withstand the pressure of deep sea water, but I had to avoid being defenselessly exposed to the power of salt water.

If you don’t want your bronchi or lungs to be attacked by water.

I created layers within the telekinetic sphere, split the outermost layer in two, and began to push it out.

Sigh!

Knucker tried to withstand my telekinesis, but felt the pain of his body being torn apart, so he released his restraints and retreated.

I tried to use my telekinesis to grab Knucker, but Knucker used his saltwater power to move the ocean current and shake my telekinesis sphere like a ball.

Shoo wow wow wow

‘Ugh… this snake bastard?’

Even if he tried to expand his telekinesis to resist the ocean current, he could not go against the ocean’s flow.

If I were at the bottom of the sea, I could have grabbed hold of the land, but since I was in the middle of the deep sea, there was nothing to hold on to.

In that way, Nucker did not approach me, but only used his saltwater power to shake me and attempted a war of attrition.

‘Are you waiting for me to get tired? Or until the air inside the telekinesis runs out? ‘No way.’

I exerted my telekinetic powers with all my might and smashed against the ocean current itself.

Unlike body strengthening, this was possible because Knucker’s salt water power was D-class.

After breaking the ocean current, I expanded and transformed my telekinesis into the shape of a propeller.

As the telekinetic propeller turned, I escaped at high speed before the re-formed ocean current hit me.

‘You are dead now.’

As I approached Nuker at high speed, Nuker tried to stop me by pushing water from the front, but my telekinetic propeller sufficiently resisted the current and moved toward Nuker.

When that happened, Knucker did not run away, but tried to destroy my telekinetic defense, which had become thin due to turning the telekinetic propeller, and kill me.

‘Do you think you could kill me without telekinesis? ‘I’m sorry.’

I ignored Nucker’s teeth digging into my telekinesis and smashed his head with my powerful fist.

‘It’s crazy to deal with someone with salt water power at sea. I don’t know if it would have been dangerous even if Nucker’s saltwater power was only C level.’

Through this battle, I realized the true strength of those with saltwater power.

I killed Nucker and went back to the boat on the water.

This is to collect Nucker’s materials and refill the air inside his telekinesis.

‘Nucker is a money maker. The sea terrain is rare and the knuckles are powerful, so it’s rare to get caught.’

Because of its large body, there was a lot of material that could be collected.

After filling one corner of the boat with knuckle byproducts, I dived toward the structure in the sea.

The structure in the sea was half ruined, but I was able to find a huge door inside the structure.

‘This… is a relic.’

The huge door itself was a relic, and it was clear that it had saltwater power as water did not enter the inside of the door.

I entered the door and began exploring the inside of the structure.

“I will take the door with me later when I am done exploring… There are relics at the entrance, what about inside?”

As I explored inside, I realized that this structure was a base on the sea floor.

“Traces of civilization… I’m sure they are ruins. You’re lucky.”

I used telekinesis and a barbell to carefully examine the ruins.

Very old sleeping bags, rotting food, rusty iron tools.

It seemed as if the people who used this place had disappeared and it had been abandoned for a long time.

And I was able to find a small halo of light inside.

“Is this a strange phenomenon found inside the gate?”

Most active Class A hunters say they have experienced this.

With a pounding heart, I approached the light and stretched out my hand.

A halo of light rises up my hand, filling it with psychic energy.

I realized that this cluster of lights was pure psychic energy remaining in the air.

‘It’s an opportunity to specialize in paranormal spirit. After all, a barbell would be better.’

The military force was already at its peak of martial arts.

Remembering that barbells have much more uses than telekinesis, I focused on paranormal skills.

Psychic energy was absorbed into the paranormal mind, and roots began to grow in the paranormal mind.

The roots grew downwards, eating psychic energy, but stopped near the spine.

The shape resembled a nerve, and the specialty of extrasensory ESP was to create nerves made of paranormal spirit.

I felt disappointed when I saw the halo of light that had disappeared before I knew it.

‘I still have a long way to go before I can specialize in paranormal spirit…’

I searched the rest of the ruins to see if there were more halos left, but found none.

Instead, I found monster research materials written in an alien language.

“Hmm…”

Studies on monsters seen outside, such as frogmen, coral snakes, and knuckles.

As I looked at the research materials detailing their weaknesses and habits, I thought about the aliens who created the monsters.

‘Does the government know nothing about real aliens? There are people with A-level psychometric abilities, so it doesn’t make sense to know nothing.’

In fact, have aliens already taken over the world’s governments?

Or simply to prevent social chaos?

I thought about this and eventually realized that I was still only a B-class hunter and passed it on.

There are 300 people in Korea alone and tens of thousands worldwide.

You have to at least get to Class A to know the truth.

After confirming that there was nothing more to take from the ruins, I returned to the sea.

Nothing much happened after that. All I had to do was meet and hunt two more C-class monsters.

Two days passed and another group discovered and destroyed the alien core.

‘I thought I could get an alien core, but I failed.’

The door I found in the underwater ruins was useless and inconvenient to take home, so I sold it in Russia.

Including artifacts, materials, and dispatch expenses, the money earned through this dispatch was 20 million won.

Perhaps because it is a high-class gate, the money was made incomparably compared to the past.

I thought about this as I took the money and went home.

‘I’m going to have to use a dimensional mirror soon.’

It wasn’t a bad idea to raise your superpower to level A like this, but it took too long.

‘It’s better to gather more strength and challenge the 8th grade gate.’

The Grade 8 gate is a magical scene where Grade B monsters are certain to appear.

But it was clear that there were more opportunities than the 7th grade gate.

I told Chae Yu-ah not to assign a gate since she would be training for a while.

“I will convey that to the association. But how long will the training last…?”

“Probably at least a month, up to half a year at most…? I don’t know the specific deadline either. I don’t answer the phone when I’m training, so please contact Yuna Kim.”

As I said, there was a huge gate opening in Korea and I could be forcibly summoned, so I had to come back and check occasionally if I didn’t want to be wanted.

‘By the way, which one should you go to first, the Magic Universe or the Spiritual Universe? It’s a divine spirit… It looks stronger than a magic sword, so I’ll have to go here later.’

When comparing gods and demons, I assumed that gods seemed stronger, so I decided to go to the demon universe first and went home.

And there were eyes watching Lim Yu-han.

“Found it. Future variables.”

The Precrime Korean branch is several kilometers away from Lim Yu-han’s house.

In the innermost part of the building, a woman with blonde hair uses an ability called clairvoyance or remote viewing.

It was Oracle, an S-class future prediction ability.

“Why don’t you remove it right away? I heard he is a dangerous person who causes rampage with mental superpowers?”

The mestizo woman guarding her said incredulously.

“No, that future has already disappeared. Maybe three weeks ago? At that time, the future changed completely. So do you know how surprised I was?”

“Even if you say that, I don’t have the ability to predict the future, so I don’t know.”

“Hahaha. Originally, he was destined to commit self-destruction and run away due to accumulating mental pollution. But the future is different now. Possessing xenoglossy, telekinesis, and unique physical enhancements, he becomes Korea’s best A-level hunter. This is where the question arises. A variant body strengthening ability that did not exist in the original cause and effect. Where did this variable come from…?”

“Has his superpower changed? You were originally a triple-talented person with xenoglossy, telekinesis, and hidden mental superpowers, right? Isn’t the triple power the only limit to superpowers?”

“To be exact, this only applies to those below S level. However, there is still a possibility that Lim Yu-han uses mental supernatural powers when I interfere with him, and this is…? Is it an impossible quadruple ability, or is it a growth or mutation of Xenogloss?”

At the same time as Oracle said so, he wrote on paper, ‘Im Yoo-han, unobservable S-class growth potential, top-level combat power capable of fighting many A-class abilities, mutant physical abilities that have never been observed, hallucinations, possession, and a new type of mental superpower that is not telepathy, and observation ability. ‘45%.’

The mestizo woman was surprised to see the last sentence. It said that accurate observation was impossible due to the oracle’s prediction of the future.

An oracle is a person with a different level of ability who can observe the future decades in the future, compared to other A-class future prediction abilities that look only one or two years in advance.

Even for existing S-class abilities, the observation rate exceeds 60%.

“Shall we buy it? Or is it monitored by the Korean branch?”

“Hmm. Let’s leave it alone for now! There is a high possibility that the purchase will be known to the U.S. government, and the surveillance will be discovered by Lim Yu-han! I don’t want him to be bribed or assassinated by the U.S. government, or to directly confront him with unknown mental abilities~”

“Okay. Then, let’s register only as people of note and collect only news.”

“Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Monica.”

The mestizo woman left the room for a moment to give instructions, leaving the oracle alone in the room.

The Oracle looked at Lim Yu-han and spoke in a low whisper.

“Personally, these variables are annoying, but I welcome them. Maybe it’s a useful card to deal with them?”
