Venus, Maxwell Northern Mountain Range.
Beta Squad is tense and vigilant, all mbers at the ready.
In front of them—
On the ground, thousands upon thousands of black chanical beetles are making strange "squeaky" noises.
Beneath the beetles, disfigured corpses gnawed beyond recognition are scattered ssily.
"Tha—that’s..."
"Fallen One corpses?"
Beta Squad mbers stride closer, eyes wide.
But...
The chanical beetles are also emitting faint wisps of black mist.
They look even more corrupted than the Fallen Ones.
"Could it be internal strife in the Fallen One camp? Killing each other?"
Soone in Beta Squad ventures a guess.
But—
Guesswork aside, after arriving here, none of them imdiately fled. Instead, they gritted their teeth and pressed on toward the Energy Hub ahead.
Because they discovered—
These thousands of chanical beetles, despite their terrifying aura, weren’t actively attacking them.
"Eh?"
"Soone!"
"There’s soone near the Energy Hub!"
Suddenly, a team mber gasped in a low, hoarse voice.
This exclamation made over three hundred human Unlimiters all turn their gaze.
They saw—
In front of the blue-white energy pillar, a young man stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching them.
Squeak—
Squeaky—!
At that mont—
The chanical beetles that had been feasting on Fallen One corpses let out a chorus of strange cries.
Whizz—!
Ten thousand beetles took to the air, wings thrumming, swarming above the young man’s head.
From far away, they looked like a thick black cloud, making Beta Squad’s hearts pound wildly.
"Gulp—!"
Beta Squad’s captain, Beta Anthony, swallowed hard.
Even though he’s the strongest in the squad, a Tier Two Max Level Unlimiter, he felt an overwhelming pressure from that young man.
It seems...
That guy could easily crush him with just a thought!
Everyone in Beta Squad halted their advance right then.
Their instincts scread—take one more step, and they’d...
The atmosphere in Beta Squad beca hushed and oppressive.
And then—
A tentative, slightly elated shout suddenly rang out.
"Y-Yu Jin, Lord Yu Jin?!"
The person speaking was Aaron Ferguson, currently just one of the ordinary squad mbers at the far rear of the group.
Aaron stared blankly at the young man’s face.
Wasn’t that exactly Lord Yu Jin, the one he’d been thinking about every day lately?
"Hm?"
By the energy pillar, Yu Jin heard the shout, raising his brows in surprise.
He followed the voice, looking to the back row of Beta Squad, and saw Aaron Ferguson staring blankly at him.
"Captain Alon?"
Yu Jin was a little surprised, blurting out instinctively.
The mont those words left his mouth—
Aaron’s face turned bright red from excitent.
Beta Squad’s captain and other mbers, anwhile, froze in place.
"Yu Jin?"
The squad mbers exchanged glances, feeling like the na was awfully familiar.
"Eh?!"
After a mont of confusion—
Beta Squad finally realized what was happening.
"Yu Jin?"
"That Yu Jin Miss Athena put a ten million Source Points bounty for?!"
For a mont—
Beta Squad was in an uproar.
On one hand, they realized the young man before them belonged to the Human Camp and wasn’t so powerful Fallen One.
On the other—
The object of a ten million Source Points bounty was standing right in front of them!
Who could stay calm?
"Ten million Source Points... bounty?"
Yu Jin heard these words and frowned lightly.
Last ti, before logging off Mars OL, he’d heard Athena’s flirtatious remark.
Back then, Yu Jin thought she just wanted to make friends.
But now—?
Yu Jin had clearly underestimated Athena’s focus on him, and her determination to "get acquainted"?
"No big deal."
"None of my bros have ascended dinsions. No matter how sky-high her bounty is, it’s pointless."
Yu Jin shook his head, chuckling, then teleported right in front of Beta Squad.
More precisely, he appeared right opposite Aaron Ferguson.
This big brother who’d helped him during Mars OL and explained so many ga rules—Yu Jin still felt grateful.
He’d logged out in a rush before and never got the chance to show his appreciation.
Now, this reunion made up for that regret.
Buzz—
Yu Jin waved his hand.
A geotrically irregular, semi-transparent stone appeared from the void, hovering before Aaron.
"Thi-this..."
"Tier Four Limit-Breaking Stone?"
"No way, no way!"
Aaron recognized the stone imdiately and panicked.
He quickly tried to explain to Yu Jin that he’d already gotten extra compensation from Miss Athena.
Moreover—
Aaron, whether intentionally or "accidentally on purpose", revealed all the details about Athena searching for Yu Jin throughout the Ophelia Federation.
Simultaneously—
He didn’t forget to give a warning:
"This ti, the leader of the Human Camp in Wasteland OL is Guy Nash, the Nash Clan’s golden boy!"
"The Nash Clan has huge clout in the Ophelia Federation—they control the main departnts for the federation’s civilian affairs!"
"Plus, if rumor’s true..."
"Guy Nash has always been one of Miss Athena’s most loyal suitors!"
"Recently, Miss Athena’s search for you has spread across the entire federation. It’s the top headline right now..."
"So, Lord Yu Jin, you have to be careful around Guy Nash!"
"If he finds out you’ve logged into this server, he’s very likely to co after you."
"Granted, you’re insanely powerful, but Guy Nash is the leader of the Human Camp, and leaders have higher ga permissions than regular players!"
