Chapter 63 - Chapter 62

"Captain! It's done."

"Let me see!"

Shin rushes at the monitor and saw it.

[Rank:∞ Class: Mana God]

"What!? What the hell is this?"

"But! That's the result of his DNA!"

"Quickly! Create a file for this information!"

"Yes! Right away!"

"Just what are you? Suzuki Tak–"

Everyone has then paused for a second.

"Eh? What happened?"

"I don't know. Captain? It feels something is wrong."

"Yeah. I thought so too."

"Eh? What is this file I have been working on? Why am I creating this?"

"What is that file?"

"I don't know."

"Scrap it. Do your job."

"Yes."

The person working on the monitor then deleted it.

As everyone did their usual job every day. Unbeknownst to them. The titanium sword has already been kept away by the workers.

*Somewhere in an underground facility in the United States*

"Project Ares. Commence."

A machine is now booting up

There is a group of scientists operating behind a safety window

"Enter the coordinates!"

The lead scientist shouted.

A large machine then started generating circling lights.

"Ready the expedition party!"

A group of heavily armed soldiers has then entered the area.

A few moments later. Everyone could now see through the circling light as it generates a scenery.

"Enter!"

"Go! Go!"

The team leader shouted. As they head inside the visible portal leading into a different planet.

After exactly 30 members of them had entered carrying necessities and weapons for them to survive anything in there. They also wear a backpack unit to supply them with oxygen so they could breathe if they could not inhale at this world's atmosphere and a gas mask in case of an emergency.

The portal closed and vanishes.

"That's the best. It draws so much power. We can't leave it open for long."

"Alright. Connect to them."

"Yes! We're connected."

"It's so strange, isn't it? That planet is 600 million light-years from us! How can we just connect with them just as if they are just at the next neighborhood?"

"Yeah. It surely is but that's what we are gonna find out."

On the other side.

They landed in a vast forest. It is green everywhere and they saw that nature is untainted

"They successfully connected to us. Alright, men. Our objective is to collect samples, check the atmosphere and the nature of this planet. Take a mouse out first."

"Yes!"

One of the men took out a cage which many lab rats are in for which when they needed it for something like right now for checking if they could breathe the air of this planet as it could be toxic to creatures from earth.

The soldier took one and hold it to see if it will last.

"It could breathe perfectly fine, sir!"

On the other line. A scientist is talking through an earpiece on everybody's ears.

"Captain Williams! It seems the air is breathable. You all had signed that this will be an extremely dangerous mission! So is it fine if one of you took off your mask?"

"What is this woman talking about!?"

One of the soldiers said.

"I'll do it then, Captain."

Another soldier said

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Go ahead."

The soldier then took off his helm.

"I could breathe fine."

"Alright! We're giving you the best assistance possible. We're flying a few drones now to check your surroundings. Please. No more of you should take off your helms first. We have to wait if being exposed to the atmosphere is truly safe."

Several drones have been released and flew which are controlled by the scientists on the other side.

"It's like we're on a trip, isn't it? This place is nice."

"Yeah. It sure is."

"Please go to the south! This forest is huge. That path is cleared by the drones. It should be safe. We haven't detected any lifeform in any direction yet."

"Alright men. Let's go."

They started walking for a few minutes. Which in turn has been hours when they walked. But they are still collecting samples of various plants and taking photographs and stuff for when they returned to earth."

"There's no life here. What the hell?"

"What are the next orders? It seems this forest spans beyond the horizon!"

"We are truly sorry. But up until now. There is still no sign of life. Our drones of the direction you are going still haven't reached the end yet. One of the drones we sent upwards has measured the forest. Luckily. You are already at the edge of the forest."

"Edge? For that long we are walking? We're actually at the edge?"

"Yes, Captain Williams. You should be out now in two hours."

"What!? We're at the edge of the forest? Just how huge is this forest anyway!?"

One of the soldiers said in disbelief.

"We should just get going. Boys. Switch to gas mask! They might be toxic plants out of the forest. We could breathe the air so we should also be reserving our oxygen supply in case we might need it."

"Yes!"

The soldiers obeyed as they switched to the gas masks.

After another few hours. They reached the outside of the forest.

"Finally! We're out!"

A scientist then announced something to them.

"We successfully measured the forest. 500,000 square kilometers."

"What the fuck!?"

A soldier shouted.

"We know. It's already a size of a country. We must find more about this planet. Head on."

"Yes! We're doing our best. Let's go men. Let's get going with this."

Though with enough breaks to rest and eating. They are all exhausted to how long they have been walking.

"We detected something on your 5 o'clock!"

Everyone rapidly caught on and raised their rifles.

"What is that thing!?"

Everyone is terrified.

Who would not be terrified of seeing a huge black snake with two arms hissing at them?

"Wait! Don't fire yet!"

"But, captain!"

"Let's see what it will do first."

The snake then blew a green cloud of poison at them.

"Fire!"

They fired and the snake quickly died.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"Please scan it so we may look at what it is."

"Yes."

Meanwhile in Tokyo.

Right after Satoshi and Genji left.

"If that is true Satoshi. I won't use it to protect this world. I'll use it to conquer this world from the shadows instead."

As he felt something. What is this?

"Takao? What's wrong?"

"Martin?"

Why am I able to control both bodies? It feels so… Odd to control both at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know it feels so strange controlling both my bodies."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is."

A device suddenly is then generated on Takao's hand.

"I am able to control both of my bodies now. But. How?"

"What the heck? Really?"

"Yes. I am telling the truth."

"What could have caused it?"

"Wait. It's hard having two bodies with different brains. I can't get a gist of controlling both perfectly."

"Alright. Go ahead and practice."
