Chapter 503 - Age After Ending (17)
"Someday I will surely beat him."
Actually, he was determined to win this time.
And he had another plan for his victory.
"They said a wormhole was going to open. No matter how strong he is, he can"t beat the people who have designed this game."
Z used a symbol engraved on his forearm to contact his subordinate who had infiltrated the wormhole lab.
- Preparing for voice transmission...
A little while ago, the mole he planted there sent him very important information.
According to him, the wormhole would soon open, and the GMs of the so-called Zero Earth, who some of the Originals praised as "great people", were returning.
"He"s finished."
Z thought he couldn"t stop them. And he thought they would rule the earth again.
Originally he planned to curry favor with them by killing the Necromancer before they came back, but it would not matter.
"Anyway, they will kill the Necromancer. And they will surely want somebody to fill the vacuum left by the Necromancer."
He wanted to believe so.
"Jason, this is Z. I look forward to your update."
After sending his mole a brief message, Z hid in an alley. Valkyrie was nearby.
So the situation was a bit different from before. He would be in big trouble if he got caught by her.
A little later Jason responded to him. He said he was waiting for Z"s order. So Z ordered him to move the "death squad" on standby in the US server in Philadelphia.
"We"re going to take control of the wormhole lab. And we will welcome the game designers."
At this moment, someone was opening the wormhole. But n.o.body knew who they might be. But Z naturally a.s.sumed that they were the human race of Zero Earth. So he prepared to meet them.

"Hey, it"s so hard."
Some whining was heard amid the fierce wind somewhere in the air under the deep blue sky.
"Don"t complain! You have only flown for a few hours!"
Somebody scolded the one whining in a harsh voice.
"I"m serious! I"m going to fall at any moment…"
At that moment, the black dragon bounced out of the clouds and fell quickly.
Then, he gained strength again and soared high, but he was staggering in the air as if it was hard. The red-haired woman riding on the back of the black dragon screamed.
"I"ll kill you if you don"t listen to me!"
Huffing and puffing, she grabbed the horn on the black dragon"s back and shook it violently.
"Hey! Don"t you think I"ve already sized you up? I"ve flown around the world much more than you, right?"
"Well, I have only learned to fly recently, but you"re so mean if you insist I should fly several hundreds of kilometers when I had a tough training only last night!"
"It"s your father who has wanted me to train you hard! I can"t do anything! Your father is the captain, and I"m your guardian! So I"m going to scold you dearly if you keep whining!"
"But if you open the portal, I don"t have to struggle to fly like this…"
Wheeeeeeeng-
Startled by the sound of something burning, the black dragon stretched his long neck down. Suddenly smoke was coming out of the woman"s mouth.
"Hey, kid. You are annoying to me because I am in charge of you like this. I"m not spoon-feeding you, right? I have to teach you how to feed with a spoon. In that respect, I think I"m doing well. So I just hope you can do well like me."
"..."
"We"re going to finish this soon, so let"s have a quiet drive, okay?"
"Sure…"
The woman lay on the back of the dragon"s wide back.
But she began to hear it again.
Rattle! Rattle!
She has been hearing some strange noise for a while now, but she heard it when she stopped talking.
"Ugh? What the heck is this noise?"
The woman raised herself. Then she stuck her head out of the dragon"s back and looked around. Then the dragon somehow awkwardly twisted his body.
"Hey! Put them back in!"
Rattle! Rattle!
Five or six bird-shaped skeletons were flying while supporting the dragon"s stomach.
"You have a good ear!"
"I"m going to kill you if you make fun of me!"
A teacher and a student were crossing the continents and oceans toward a small island.

The dust finally settled.
The "Fire of Punishment" that struck Asadal did not inflict any damage, and the "Beast Terror" attack from three directions was also controlled, turning into a small amount of EXP. After all, Asadal suffered little damage.
Soon, Kyungsoo came to Sungwoo and reported about the situation.
"We are currently maintaining Level-1 alertness, and are searching all places within 50 km of Asadal."
They still had to be alert against additional terrorist attacks, and at the same time, they needed to take follow-up measures to recover the damage.
"And we have captured 238 Originals members, but we"ve much more than them. We"re counting the exact figure of their casualties. By the way, do you remember Chairman Younghwan Lee, who once led the Reconstruction Alliance? We"ve also captured him. Man, he was one of the judges of the Originals!"
The "White Wolf Forensics Team" followed Chairman Lee and his clique to the end and eventually captured them alive. It was the result of their persistent chase.
"If we make good use of this old man, I think we can track down the members of the Originals currently hiding in the Korean server. Let me leave this job to the chief of the Intelligence Department."
"Sure, go ahead."
It seemed that they undermined the enemy greatly by effectively blocking all their attacks.
However, Z disappeared.
According to Jisu, the only one who witnessed him, when he failed in the attack using the Fire of Punishment, he chose to escape. So she chased him as best as she could, but he disappeared all of a sudden. o rushed to pursue him, but he disappeared. He seemed to have used the portal he had prepared in advance.
"Z was quite capable. And he seemed to have some more hidden cards. So he will surely come back, carrying a more powerful weapon. So we have to track him down first and kill him to prevent any further damage."
She expressed concern. As long as he was alive, it was certain that one day he would bring more catastrophe.
Hearing that, however, Sungwoo calmly nodded and said, "Maybe we will see him soon."
Sungwoo knew that he was faced with a more important problem right now.
Sungwoo looked at Kyungsoo.
"Please start the "Operation Unlimited Shutdown" immediately."
The Operation Unlimited Shutdown was a defense plan just in case the wormhole reopened. Under this plan, they would completely shut down the research facility on the island and dispatch almost all troops around itHeHe so that n.o.body could get out.
"Got it! I will also order them to have the hydrogen bombs ready to use, too."
As the head of the General Control Office, Kyungsoo was the first who was briefed about the Wormhole Research Center, so he knew what was going on.
But when Sungwoo mentioned it first, he had no other choice but to harden his face.
The worst-case scenario unfolded.
"We still have a few hours left, so please prepare thoroughly rather than hurry up. I have already sent a few there."
Sungwoo has already dispatched Sangoon and the chief secretary to the Wormhole Research Center. So they would take preemptive action just in case.
Kyungsoo said, "Shall I call Isabella who is currently in the Amazon rainforest?"
Sungwoo replied, "Well, I"ve already contacted her."
Everyone began to gather near the wormhole.
