Genius Regressor Makes Mythic Items Chapter 164

Episode 164

Episode 164. Cheorwon (3)

Gray hair and beard.

And the loose-fitting left arm and right leg.

Shimun, who was looking at Dr. Choi Woo-seok carefully, became lost in thought.

The reason was no different.

‘Dr. Choi Woo-seok? I’ve never heard of that name.’

Even if I recall all my memories from my past life.

Because I had never heard of the name Choi Woo-seok.

Even if he was a doctor who worked at Seongsam’s facility, he would be considered famous in that area.

‘There are usually two cases like this.’

One of them was active in secret like now, and died before his name became known.

The other one.

‘Changing your name and finding new life.’

Both were credible guesses, so Shimun did not make a hasty judgment.

Did you misunderstand that silent appearance?

“Oh. Are you also skeptical about scientific progress?”

Dr. Choi Woo-seok smiled awkwardly.

“That’s true. All sane people like you are like that. Instead of pursuing progress that could save someone, you seek meaningless ethics.”

He stretched his good right arm out to the side.

“Let me see it once.”

OK.

Paat.

A holographic light streamed out from a small groove in the wall.

It was a welcome artifact.

The Welcome Artifact floated something of a strange shape next to Dr. Choi Woo-seok.

Dr. Choi Woo-seok looks at it as if it were a beautiful piece of art.

“This is reptilian DNA.”

He looked at the vision of the reptilian DNA he had created.

And then.

“Do you know about the regenerative abilities of reptiles? Usually, if you give the example of a lizard’s tail, everyone will understand easily.”

Like a very detailed teacher.

He continued speaking in a calm voice.

“When a lizard is in danger, it cuts off its tail and runs away. It grows back again.”

Kang Da-young frowned at those words and glanced at Subject M249, who had entered the lab.

“Of course, there are many creatures with regenerative abilities superior to reptiles. We used to do a lot of research on them as well.”

Dr. Choi Woo-seok’s face is getting wet.

Shimun frowned slightly.

I could sense what he wanted to say.

“It was after the Galaxy Arena appeared that the research focused on reptiles?”

“Wow! As expected from a top prospect. Very smart.”

“In the meantime, I learned about the Dragon Clan, and naturally, my research shifted back to the Dragon Clan.”

“… … You’re quite perceptive.”

Choi Woo-seok’s eyes harden slightly.

But it’s not because I feel bad.

“Is it because he can transform into a dragon? He’s really outstanding.”

It comes from a gaze that seems to be closely observing a kind of experimental subject.

Dr. Choi Woo-seok, who was carefully examining the poem.

“It’s exactly as you said. The Galaxy Arena is a world that cannot be explained scientifically. I was captured by the dragon tribe among the many races that appear there.”

He stretched out his remaining arm again.

“Although there is a difference in level, they are fundamentally superior. If we can resemble them even a little, we can gain a lot.”

Then, the model of DNA floating in the air became more complex and bizarre.

And somewhere it was reshaped into a familiar form.

“From congenital disabilities to acquired disabilities, and all kinds of rare diseases. Their superior bodies and regenerative powers can solve many problems.”

This is truly the progress of humanity.

Dr. Choi Woo-seok has always talked about what humans have always longed for.

Shimun just remained silent and hardened his face.

It wasn’t because I was impressed by Dr. Choi Woo-seok.

‘That’s… Could it be the DNA of the Dragon Clan?’

Although I had no expertise in biology or any other field.

When Shimun saw the model, he realized it instinctively.

It is said that it symbolizes the DNA of the dragon tribe.

As interest in poetry grew,

Keying.

Odin’s Eye naturally absorbed the power of the ether, strengthening its power.

Thanks to this, Shimun was able to figure out whose DNA prototype it was.

“Drag?”

“Ohhhh!!”

A poem that I hum without realizing it.

Dr. Choi Woo-seok, who had been talking alone, had his eyes sparkling.

“How do you know that? This is a specimen that has not even been registered with the academic society! Then do you know this? This too?”

He was like an excited child, changing DNA samples at will.

‘Drakan, Draco, Dvali, and even Lamia… … .’

But, every time he sees the model of DNA that appears, Shimun’s eyes gradually harden.

How did Dr. Choi Woo-seok collect that DNA?

There’s no way you can collect the DNA of the dragons from the arena and bring it back.

‘The regular arena hasn’t even started yet. Are the dragons already entering Earth?’

In reality, it only meant that the dragons were on Earth.

And there’s no way that Dr. Choi Woo-seok, who appears to be an unawakened person, could have caught a dragon and collected its DNA.

‘They say there is even an ally who helped me obtain the DNA of the Dragon Clan… … .’

Finding the mastermind wasn’t that difficult.

Chairman Lee Soon-cheol, who secretly approved this facility.

and.

‘Jongli Chu. To be exact, it’s the dragon tribe that’s holding hands with that guy.’

The poet’s eyes narrowed slightly.

‘So you’re saying that in your previous life, the dragons were on Earth around this time?’

Basically, if you look at the fact that other races can enter Earth only after the regular arena starts.

‘The place of residence is most likely China, where Zhongli Chu is located.’

Of course, there are many places in this vast world where people are sparsely populated, so it was likely located in a barren place.

The Dragon Tribe is the top-tier race within the Galaxy Arena.

The harsh environment won’t be a penalty at all.

Have you read the meaning of that poem?

“Indeed… … you know so much about the Dragon Clan! You’ve known all this from the beginning!!”

Choi Woo-seok couldn’t hide his excitement at having invented such a great invention.

“I can’t believe it! I only received this information a few months ago… … Is it because it’s possible to transform into a dragon? Huh?”

Choi Woo-seok limps toward the poem with an excited face.

Obviously, he doesn’t even have a prosthetic leg.

Choi Woo-seok walked smoothly as if he was receiving assistance from something.

He held out his hand with a face full of excitement.

“Haha! This is going to be an easy story. You. Won’t you help me with my research?”

“research?”

Shimun’s gaze, which had been questioning for a moment, turns to the side.

There.

“Keeek.”

There stood Subject M249, completely devoid of the ferocity I had first seen.

It’s not even that dirty.

Choi Woo-seok took his outstretched hand away nonchalantly and looked in the same direction as Shi-mun.

“Yes. That’s it. It’s not as perfect as your dragonfly transformation, but it would be different if you help me.”

“Do you think I would help conduct an experiment that would turn a sane person into something like that?”

“You may feel uncomfortable. I understand. But you don’t have to worry about the ethical aspect. After all, the author was a human being who didn’t deserve to live.”

Choi Woo-seok’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm for learning.

“You. Do you remember the serial murders that occurred in Incheon five years ago?”

Shimun nodded silently.

Was it just poetry?

There would be no Korean who lived at that time who did not know this.

‘Because it was a case that caused quite a stir at the time due to the crimes committed by the Awakened.’

Awakened crime.

Since it was a crime committed by someone who was literally awakened, most of the victims were naturally unawakened.

No matter how low the criminal’s awakening was.

Because it was impossible for ordinary people to fight back.

In Korea, where the murder case detection rate is over 97%, this case was bound to be famous because the culprit has not been caught yet.

Let’s think about it that way.

“Wait a minute. No way?!”

Shimun’s eyes widened in an instant.

“You’re right. Subject M249. The author is the villain who committed serial murders at the time.”

Dr. Choi Woo-seok nodded with a very happy face.

but.

“Is that guy the only one?”

It was not the joy of catching and punishing a vicious criminal.

“You must have met many test subjects on your way here. They are all criminals like that guy, only the severity of their crimes differs.”

A barrier blocking his experiments.

It was a joy to have the legitimacy to trample on things like human rights and bioethics.

like.

“They’re going to be executed anyway or spend their whole lives paying taxes. If I can contribute to the progress of humanity like this, wouldn’t it be good for them too?”

As if he was showing off his righteousness.

and.

“A brilliant young man like you will understand what I mean.”

Don’t you think so too?

“There’s no need to worry. We’re the only ones here, and none of our devices can function because of the EMP.”

It’s as if they’re using anonymity as a shield to find like-minded people.

Of course, for more reasons than these.

“You must have come here knowing that this is Seongsam’s facility. What do you think? I can give you as much money as you want, so isn’t this a very good deal?”

I guess he has a strong desire to somehow involve poetry in his research.

Because Shimun also saw through Park Woo-seok’s inner thoughts.

“well.”

He just replied with a strange smile.

At that, Choi Woo-seok’s eyebrows twitched.

“You’re a very shy friend. Even though the story here is unlikely to leak out.”

“No, that’s not it. I’m just saying this because the conditions are really not that great.”

“what?”

Now even the friendly smile has disappeared.

Shimun seems to enjoy such changes in Choi Woo-seok.

“Your mind is one thing, but that money obviously means nothing to me.”

He had a mischievous smile on his face.

“Are you saying that your conscience can’t be bought with money? This is such a classic repertoire.”

“No, it’s not like that. It’s literally meaningless. No matter how much you ask, it won’t be enough to satisfy me.”

“How arrogant. Have you ever lived abroad? Do you not know what kind of group Seongsam is?”

Choi Woo-seok looks at the poem with the eyes of an innocent child.

Into Choi Woo-seok’s ear.

“Is it real?”

A woman’s voice was heard.

Kang Da-young had been just quietly listening until now.

She raised one corner of her mouth.

“No matter how much Seongsam pays, money alone won’t be enough to persuade that man.”

“Secretary Kang. You must know a lot about Seongsam’s abilities, right?”

“I’m saying this because I don’t know you very well.”

Growth buff for the Simdrasil Guild.

It’s Kang Da-young who knows that the owner is Shimun.

“I guarantee it. Even if the Chairman himself steps forward, he won’t be able to meet the amount that Mr. Shimun is asking for.”

Lee Soon-cheol, the owner of Seongsam.

No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to bribe Shimun with money.

‘Just renting growth buffs, how much money can you make?’

Even Chairman Lee Soon-chul cannot pay the enormous sums paid by the giant guilds of each country.

Is that all?

‘All of the Arena disease treatments distributed by Seongsam Bio are also produced by Mr. Shimun.’

This is Kang Da-young, who is also in charge of Lee Yu-jeong’s business.

Of course, Lee Yu-jeong also knew that the source of the Arena disease treatment drug supplied to Seongsam Bio was Shimun.

blast furnace.

‘In this world, no one can do anything to Kim Si-moon with money.’

That was the conclusion that Kang Da-young reached.

Did you feel that Kang Da-young’s attitude was sincere?

“This is truly… … an example that cannot be given up.”

Choi Woo-seok sighed deeply and touched his forehead.

Within.

“You. Are you sure you don’t want to work with me?”

He asked with a voice full of deep regret.

“It’s not enough to catch you, would you like to work together?”

“Then why don’t you lie to me and say you’ll join my research, and at least think about meeting me?”

“He’s the kind of person who even does the aftercare so neatly. I guess I can foolishly get along with him.”

“Hahaha! I see. The more I look at it, the more I feel it’s a shame. If we were to study with people like you, humanity would make great strides forward… … .”

A deep regret appears in Choi Woo-seok’s eyes.

Just for a little while.

“I guess there’s nothing I can do.”

He shook off his regret and sorrow by closing his eyes.

“We have no choice but to discard it along with this place.”

As if pressing something.

He stretched out his one arm weakly forward.

OK.

Saaa.

Like a geyser.

A dark aura seeps out from the ground.

“This, this is!!”

Kang Da-young was shocked when she saw that.

It wasn’t a crowd.

Even in the arena, it was an aura that was as repulsive as the river of the underworld.

“All, run… … !”

And before she could finish speaking.

Before I knew it, a dark, unidentifiable circle had formed and engulfed everything.

* * *

A universe without a single ray of light.

Could there be any other word that describes this place better than that?

It’s all black.

no.

This black world, where one might not even know if one’s vision was working properly, was devoid of any sound or smell.

It’s a perfect match.

The problem doesn’t end there.

“… … .”

A woman rolled her eyes and trembled all over.

Does this void space even affect the human mind?

Brrrr.

The woman continued to convulse as if she were possessed by a ghost like the one seen on video media.

Fortunately.

puck.

Her convulsions ceased with a dull thud in the back of her neck.

The reason was no different.

“That almost happened.”

It’s a space that should be empty, but it’s colorless.

“I guess we should be thankful that we are at least close to each other.”

A handsome man with distinct facial features, not only in body but also

He spoke clearly and hugged the woman who had fainted.

And then, as if swimming in the mother’s amniotic fluid.

I moved forward comfortably.

‘I never imagined that I’d be blown away to the other side…’

Over there.

A place where normal things are twisted into strange things.

It was a place where even the most basic providences and concepts were twisted as they pleased.

‘Well, I guess that’s fortunate for me.’

There was one exception.

“Over there?”

Obviously, you shouldn’t be able to see anything.

A poem that moves forward without hesitation toward the ray of light seen in the distance.

Then, a sharp voice came into his ear.

-How did you set up the magic circle that blows it to the other side? This kind of knowledge is hard to come by even in the regular arena.

It was the philosopher’s stone.

Shimun said, glancing down at my chest.

“It must have been told to me by Jonglichu. The original source is likely the Yongjok.”

-That’s right. Most of the void-related magic that spread throughout the arena is the type of magic that travels back and forth.

How long have you been talking to the Philosopher’s Stone?

[dare…….]

With a huge voice that resonates throughout the space.

[You’re creeping into my territory without permission. You’re seriously crazy.]

The beam of light that Shimun was approaching began to rapidly split.

Not exactly a split.

‘Spider web?’

It was woven like an extremely elaborate spider web, expanding endlessly.

Above that spider web.

[Mortal? Ha! How did a mortal enter my space?]

An ominous, almost eerie red glow appears.

Within, it was divided into 16 parts, 8 each, and divided into two sides.

Before the poem could even begin to judge that it was the eye of the voice.

[Tsk. I don’t even want to find out. Just die.]

Sixteen red lights emitted a blindingly intense light.

one.

[This, this!]

As if time had stopped.

The approaching red light suddenly stops.

[This trace… … is that, that person?!]

What’s so surprising?

A red light that trembles violently, even showing a faint fear.

Soon it gradually became distant.

[Speak, human.]

Thud. Thud.

A series of huge, roaring noises were heard, as if the world was collapsing.

The poem is thanks to the vast spider web spread out behind it.

I noticed that the source of the loud noise was the red-eyed leg.

and.

[Who are you?]

The intense anger and hostility that had been felt until just now disappears as if washed away.

As if showing some kind of respect.

Lowering its dark body, which looked like several planets connected together.

[Why do you carry traces of him who is asleep? Why did you come to me?]

The poem was on the same level as the eye level.

‘oh my god…….’

My mouth fell open in awe at the overwhelming sight.

Could it be possible to express it in the word ‘huge’?

A giant spider that could almost be described as vast.

Even though it has 16 red eyes the size of an asteroid.

It didn’t feel overwhelming at all, thanks to its size, which was the size of a giant planet.

And they all shoot towards the poem at the same time.

Even if it’s just a matter of making eye contact.

[Indeed. You are perfectly fine in my eyes with a human body. Are you one of His apostles?]

A galactic-scale spider that exudes admiration.

‘What does that mean? So I should die just by making eye contact?’

Suddenly, a question occurred to me.

Shimun answered, trying hard to suppress his doubts.

“You could say I’m closer to the other person than to him.”

[The other side? Who are you talking about?]

The giant spider tilted its planet-sized head.

[Who are you? Of course it’s me!]

A sharp voice, incomparable to the Philosopher’s Stone, echoed throughout the space.

To him.

[This, this voice!]

A galactic-scale spider trembles unsteadily.

[If you touch even a single hair on my baby, I will tear all your dirty legs to pieces, you lazy spider.]

Knock knock! Knock knock!

A swarm of giant tentacles appears, tearing apart one side of the space.

[Meet your godmother!]

The spider quickly slammed its planet-sized head into the ground.
