Chapter 158: Baekgi (1)
Chapter 158: Baekgi (1)
The Thunder Wind Kick, Baekgi.
He was one of the Six Swords of the Demon God, Chun Yeowun. As a leader of the clan, he was also at the center of the revival period of the Sky Demon Order, and was a master in thunder qi usage.
After drinking the blood of the Dragon Turtle, one of the Five Spirit Beasts, he gained the thunder qi, giving him the name Thunder Demon.
[Grind and polish it within you. It will help you control the thunder qi inside.]
Chun Yeowun’s closest aides had drunk the blood of Imoogi and were possessors of the demonic energy for a long time.
Baekgi, specifically, never neglected to learn to control the demonic energy under Chun Yeowun’s guidance.
Wooong!
Even if he couldn’t think, that demonic power inside of him succumbed and he couldn’t fight against the control of Sky Demon Energy.
Tremble!
Baekgi, kneeling on the floor, couldn’t move. His mind was clear with no thoughts, but the demonic energy within was controlling his body.
‘H-How?’
Chae Mun-tak couldn’t understand it. His eyes in the holes of the mask, trembled. To him, Chun Yeowun said.
“Did you think that a loyal member of the Great Sky Demon Order would listen to your orders?”
Whisper!
The reaction of the VIP customers began to change. The 5th Gen was a new improvement that they had huge expectations for, but they didn’t know what kind of ‘product’ it was.
Chae Mun-tak bit his lips.
‘Seriously, he isn’t an easy one to deal with.’
Of course, it seemed to be difficult. The other VIPS were aiming to try to create a deep bond with Chun Yeowun, who had the strength to take down multiple organizations.
“Huh!”
Chun Yeowun approached Baekgi, who was kneeling. He knew that tampering with Baekgi’s mind and forcing it to undergo regeneration would restore his memory, like what had happened with Hu Bong.
“Wait!”
Chae Mun-tak turned off the mic and said.
“I didn’t foresee this situation… but I did anticipate a situation where a person’s memory would be revived.”
“What?”
Clack!
Chae Mun-tak pressed a button on the terminal, and both of Baekgi’s eyes widened as he began to speak in a mechanical manner.
“Chipset mode activated.”
Clank!
The sound of something changing within Baekgi’s body. Although it couldn’t be seen on the outside, the control devices penetrated into the spine of the suit he was wearing while not inflicting any pain onto him.
Crack!
‘!?’
Ignoring the demonic energy, Baekgi stood up because of the device inserted into each spine; starting with the chip implanted in the brain, they were able to control the whole body.
“Ohoh!”
“It’s moving again.”
The people seemed interested in the 5th Gen once more. Chae Mun-tak turned on the mic again and said.
-Everyone, in case we lose control of the 5th Gen human, MS Group has made sure to take proper precautionary measures through the release of the NC-35X chip that will relieve your anxiety.
Chae Mun-tak looked at Chun Yeowun with a smile.
‘Are you flustered? Fufufu. I’m Chae Mun-tak.’
Chae Mun-tak.
In the past, he had earned the name of a genius geneticist, receiving the attention of many celebrities and press.
Among MS Group’s researchers, he boasted the highest proficiency in genetics and neural control.
‘Well, this is nothing for me.’
To him, this innovation was nothing to brag about. He said to Chun Yeowun,
“Outdated warriors like you martial artists tend to downplay the power of science and technology. I’ll show you his power!”
‘Kill him.’
At the end, “kill him” was whispered. Despite the noisy dome, would Baekgi be able to hear it?
“Yes.”
With those words, an electric shock blasted through his body.
Pachk!
Sparks dazzled around his body as if he were a god of thunder. The spectators continued to watch him intently.
The sparks emitted looked a little huge, but the suit he wore made sure that he wasn’t channeling too much.
‘Indeed, MS Group’s tech prowess is decades ahead of ours.’
‘I need to maintain my ties with them.’
Representatives came here not only for the auction but also to form connections with MS Group.
Pachik!
Baekgi, engulfed in the electricity, finally moved.
Completely dominated by the machine inside him, his movements were rapid.
Phat!
He moved so fast that he left behind a streak of light. Even Kohaku, who prided himself for being the fastest, was startled at Baekgi’s speed.
Pachik!
In the eyes of those who didn’t practice martial arts, Baekgi seemed to have teleported behind Chun Yeowun as he unleashed a thunderous kick that flew at Chun Yeowun’s head.
Swish!
Chun Yeowun’s form blurred in an instant, changing direction to raise his left arm to block the kick.
Pachik!
At that moment, the light of the S-class core in the center of Baekgi’s suit grew stronger, causing the power in the kick to grow.
Tatatak!
Chun Yeowun was pushed back, as even though he was directly blocking it, the kick was still extremely powerful.
‘You idiot.’
Chae Mun-tak laughed at Chun Yeowun. Hundreds of clinical trials were done to analyze and optimize the full power of Baekgi, who had both the thunder qi and the S-class core.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was MS Group’s greatest work, or even its masterpiece.
Papapak!
In an instant, Baekgi unleashed tremendous power.
As soon as he unfolded the technique of his clan, causing not just the podium but also the ship to shake. Even though the barrier was just reinstated, the dome started cracking as it became unable to withstand the power from Baekgi.
‘What unbelievable power!’
The people around the dome were shocked.
-Chik!
“Damn!”
“Isn’t the dome going to break?”
Even though the ceiling was open, they were worried as they were in the middle of a sea.
The power Baekgi had was different from what Baek Jong-so, the current leader of the Pure Kick Clan, possessed, and the techniques he used were confusing with attacks flying in from different angles.
For anyone else, it could be intimidating, but Chun Yeowun smiled.
“Even with that body, you have grown so much.”
The difference of Baekgi now and him of the past was like the difference between heaven and earth. Chun Yeowun remembered when he used to train with the Six Swords.
“Of course, the results were always the same.”
Papapak!
Chun Yeowun blocked the attacks with just one hand. Baekgi was doing his best, but Chun Yeowun didn’t move a single step and kept blocking them.
‘Did he get stronger than before?’
‘Can he stop that?’
Kohaku and Jack were shocked. Even they themselves would have a sense of desperation if they were to respond to Baekgi’s attacks, but Chun Yeowun was doing so in such a leisurely manner.
‘What the hell… was he hiding his powers?’
The gap in skill and ability was unmistakable..
Even if the S-class core was being fully utilized, the difference was still too great.
Pak!
Chun Yeowun, who was blocking a kick, grabbed Baekgi’s ankle and slammed him down like a hammer ramming the floor.
Kwaang!
The moment Baekgi’s body struck the floor, the podium collapsed and the dome split in all directions, causing people to jump up in panic.
“Kuak!”
As the podium collapsed, the place where Chae Mun-tak stood too had collapsed. Fortunately, this time he didn’t faint from the fall.
‘W-what happened?’
Chae Mun-tak looked at the podium in shock. He thought that the 5th Gen he made by pouring in his heart and soul would be the best one, but it still seemed to be suffering.
‘Ah!’
However, it turned out to be fine. Baekgi’s body, which was on the floor, didn’t show any injuries on it; not even a hair was out of order. At that moment, Chun Yeowun placed his hand on Baekgi’s chest and head.
‘What is he up to?’
Chae Mun-tak didn’t know what was happening until a beeping sound came from the terminal.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Chae Mun-tak‘s eyes widened at what he saw.
[Error! Error! Error!]
He couldn’t hide his fluster at the error displayed on the terminal that was controlling Baekgi.
‘What is this?’
Chae Mun-tak hurriedly accessed the terminal, trying to fix the error by entering a code. However, his expression went stiff.
‘What? W-what just happened?’
Chhhh!
His terminal was changing things up and the program was being modified.
It was,
‘Hacking?’
The phenomenon of something changing in the program and chips which controlled Baekgi had to be due to hacking.
‘No. I-I need to disable the system!’
Tatatak!
Chae Mun-tak continued to try and stop it, but nothing worked. Confused, he raised his head and looked at Chun Yeowun.
All the man did was put his palm on his chest. What just happened?
[The command code of the main chip has been completely bypassed.]
Nano’s voice echoed in Chun Yeowun’s head. What was hacking was none other than Nano. No matter how great the technology of MS Group was, it was nothing compared to the tech inside Chun Yeowun which was from the far future.
‘No! This has to be stopped!’
Tatak!
Chae Mun-tak tried to switch the terminal to control the 24 4th Gen human weapons, who came down the podium standing with their eyes glowing.
“Kill him right now!”
At the moment the order fell, they all flew at once. The movements of the 4th Gen human weapons using the B-class core were comparable to those of Superior Masters.
Papapah!
It was then.
Flash!
Lightning flashed in the air, striking all 24 of the human weapons at the same time.
Kwakwakwang!
As a result, all 24 of them crashed to the ground simultaneously.
“D-damn it!”
Chae Mun-tak cursed at it. This was an unforeseen situation. Unlike the 5th Gen, the other 4th Gen suits were only made to withstand the energy from the core.
“Wh… what was… how did this happen…”
Chae Mun-tak looked at Baekgi, who was standing in the middle with his hand stretched out.
That was the proof that it was he who had called for the lightning. Ultimately, due to the overload of the lightning, the 24 human weapons closed their eyes and fainted.
Drip!
Tears filled with blood were running down Baekgi’s eyes; the blood was coming out because of the chip in his head being destroyed. His condition didn’t look good, but his face was also different from before.
His face, which before had been emotionless, was now frowning.
‘No!’
Chae Mun-tak couldn’t hide his anxiety. And that soon turned into reality as Baekgi spoke.
“Who! Who dares to touch the Chun Ma of the Great Sky Demon Order!”
A loud shout like a lion. The cracks in the dome grew and people covered their ears. Seeing that, Chun Yeowun smiled.
“You are back, Baekgi.”
Baekgi’s lips twisted at those words. As if he were convulsing, his eyes turned red.
‘Ahhh!’
It was a voice he had wanted to hear so desperately. Although Baekgi had a blunt personality, he was very emotional.
Pak!
He knelt as he continued to cry.
“One of the Six Swords of the Demon God, Baekgi, greets my Lord!”
