Nano Machine

The reason why the people of the Time Patrol were shocked was pretty easy to understand.

The martial artists they knew were people who could at times go beyond human limits by honing their skills.

And it was a great task.

Those martial artists could perform things without even wearing a suit like the Time Patrol.

However, despite them exceeding the human limit and being dangerous, it wasn't a level that could surpass science and technology.

'It makes no sense. The m320 has no recoil, fires bullets at a speed of 1,200 m/s, and the kinetic energy of each bullet reaches 350 m/kp⁽¹⁾, but to get blocked from this distance.'

Some martial artists could block and dodge the bullets.

But the number was very few.

Even the most talented martial artists couldn't stop a bullet fired from just 15 steps away.

And martial artists, who have excellent eyesight and speed, prefer to avoid attacks.

However, this was correct unless the m320 was equipped with an AI chip that has an automatic lock-on.

"You, what are you?"

This man was different from the martial artists they knew.

It was a shock to the TP, who had never been in direct contact with a martial artist.

But there was one person who was even more terrified.

It was Chun Mu-seong.

'Th-This is trouble!'

When he saw the TP officer get killed by Chun Yeowun, he judged that the situation had turned to the worst.

Chun Mu-seong called out to Chun Yeowun.

"Ancestor, please run…"

Pak!

"Cough!"

The leader of the TP unit quickly stepped on his neck.

Then, without making a sound, the TP suits began to transform.

Srrrr!

The suits, which became more agile than the previous form, trembled.

Chun Yeowun, who looked at the change, frowned.

He listened to what his descendant said and trusted Nano which always detected sounds on different frequencies.

'The Great Gate?'

They were talking amongst themselves without actually speaking out loud.

Nano referred to their conversation as simple communication.

Srrr!

'?'

At that moment, nineteen TP officers who were surrounding Chun Yeowun disappeared.

It wasn't because they moved quickly.

They literally turned invisible.

'I'm surprised, but now I will assume that you aren't human and deal with you right here.'

Mark, the leader of the TP unit, abandoned the idea of treating Chun Yeowun as a normal man.

Blocking the bullets was strange, but if he remembered the Great Gate Battle, this looked normal.

Mark immediately communicated with the one called James, whose neck was being held by Chun Yeowun.

[James! Get away from him with an electromagnetic wave!]

As soon as the words came out, the one called James pressed his right palm with the thumb of his left hand.

Pach-chi-chi-chik!

A dazzling electromagnetic wave erupted from his suit.

It could generate a voltage strong enough to knock out even a huge brown bear in an instant.

And the TP were aiming for that instant.

But,

'Huh?'

Despite the electromagnetic wave, Chun Yeowun didn't budge.

James couldn't hide his shock.

'This is crazy! How can he standstill with a thousand volts running through his body?'

The man didn't feel electrocuted.

Chun Yeowun shook his head and spoke to James.

"You need to be at my level to avoid getting shocked."

"What?"

It was then.

Pach-chi-chik!

"Kuaaaak!"

An incomparable thunder qi just happened to unfold in Chun Yeowun's hand.

With a flash of lightning, James, who got electrocuted, screamed frantically.

Even the suit's insulation function was useless.

Spark! Spark!

[Error! Error! Error!]

James' suit, which couldn't withstand the lightning, was broken.

As his face turned black, it looked like he was on the verge of death, making one TP officer fire his gun at Chun Yeowun's wrist.

Bang!

Suddenly, a bullet was released.

With great speed, the bullet moved, but Chun Yeowun could sense it.

Chun Yeowun stretched out his left hand and unfolded a veil of energy, trying to block the bullet like before.

Bang!

As expected, the bullet hit the veil as if it was blocked.

But then something happened.

'Uh?'

Woong! Pach-chik!

The bullet that hit the veil pierced it.

Chun Yeowun hurriedly stopped releasing his energy, which the bullet just pierced, and pushed the man he was holding forward.

Bang!

The bullet missed and pierced the ground.

The hole it made was the size of a fist.

'It broke through the wall?'

Chun Yeowun frowned.

The bullet which just came for him had considerable power. Perhaps because of its force and gunpowder, it seemed completely different.

The bullet had great energy seeing how it tore past the energy veil.

[That was an ultra-vibrating bullet. The kinetic energy is amplified with tremendous frequency, and it dismantles any energy shield.]

Chun Yeowun's eyes lit up with Nano words.

Apparently, the TP didn't show all their abilities.

But the TP officers were shocked too.

'It barely pierced the shield. Even the ultra-vibrating bullet is weak? Uh!'

It was very difficult to detect the speed of the bullet despite them wearing the suits.

Now it didn't seem strange to call it the Great Gate, rather than just a battle between humans.

'Yes. Let's just think that we are lucky!'

Their captain, Mark, ordered them.

[Entire squad, ultra-vibrating bullets!]

Upon receiving the order, 10 TP men scattered in all directions and opened fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets flew in.

Unlike the first ones, the next bullets had a slight time difference.

Of course, even so, it wasn't a huge difference. It was one shot per second.

'This can't be stopped.'

Was what they thought, but Chun Yeowun raised his hand lightly.

Chachachachang!

Ten invisible swords sprang up around him, slashing the bullets in half.

It all happened at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Tutututututu!

The bullets fired at Chun Yeowun split in half and fell to the floor.

Their faces couldn't be seen as they were covered by the suits, but the TP were stunned.

This was unbelievable. Even Mark was stunned.

'Wh-What was that?'

The opaque sword shapes which suddenly appeared in the air and slashed the bullets.

He would have been shocked if Chun Yeowun had used one sword and cut them, but this, this was plain baffling.

But even more shocking,

[The energy of unknown origin in the form of a sword caused an ultra vibration.]

He was speechless at the analysis of his AI.

According to the AI's analysis, the man just copied their ultra-vibrating bullets.

Chun Yeowun nodded his head.

"I learned a good thing. This is more convenient as it consumes less energy than unification and condensing."

'What?'

Not just Mark, the other TP officers were shocked.

This man really learned their attack.

Of course, it was learning.

There was a lock on the ultra-vibrating tech inside Nano. When the enemy used it, the lock automatically released, and Nano introduced it into the panel system.

[Should I maintain the panel system ultra-vibrating the invisible swords?]

'Yes.'

At Nano's question, Chun Yeowun agreed and stretched his hand towards the invisible swords.

All ten of the swords aimed in one direction.

'What is he up to?'

The TP officers, who were hiding in stealth mode, were puzzled.

"I told you to not move."

Woong!

Chun Yeowun's cold voice made Mark feel scared.

It looked like he was trying to release the swords.

And if the swords were strong enough to cut down their bullets, then they would be dangerous for them even with their suit's defense at max.

[We never know, so deploy shiel…]

Before Mark could even finish speaking.

Swoosh!

The new invisible swords spread out in all directions.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

"Kuak!"

"Ackk!"

Shockingly, the swords pierced the chests of the TP officers who had fired bullets at Chun Yeowun previously.

As the suits broke, blue flames rose into the air, and they fell to the ground.

Thud! Thud!

'N-No way! How can he find us in stealth mode?'

They didn't know.

In the eyes of Chun Yeowun, once the augmented reality opens, even those enemies who were in stealth mode would turn visible.

'Well, even if I can't see, I can feel them.'

Even if they were invisible, Chun Yeowun could recognize their energy.

Mark, who thought that they might get killed, yelled.

[Damn it! Don't standstill. Keep moving! Move! Move!]

At his command, the surviving TP officers quickly spread out.

Perhaps because they were wearing the suits' new form, their movements were faster than Master Level martial artists.

[Squad! Shoot the electron cannon at him!]

[El-Electron cannon? Sir, he is still human.]

[Does that monster look human to you?]

The TP officers questioned their captain's orders but were silent.

The moment he cut down an ultra-vibrating bullet, it was confirmed that the man they were facing wasn't human.

[Start shooting!]

[Roger!]

Clack! Clack!

At his orders, the remaining TP officers pressed something on their guns, and the muzzles turned into an elongated square shape with light blue condensing in them.

Gooooo!

Push!

With the sound of ripping the air, a blue flash of light flew out from them with great speed.

It's a phenomenon in which the electron particles spread out.

'Even if he can stop those bullets, even if he surpasses humans, this beam…'

Woong!

Push!

Space distorted where the beams moved towards, and then the beams bent.

The beams moved in multiple directions.

'T-The beams were deflected?'

Mark's eyes widened.

The space around Chun Yeowun too had distorted.

'Space distorted?'

Chun Yeowun, who was aware of the unification and condensing energies through his battle with Ark Wui and the Blade God, could distort space and temporarily bend the beams.

'I guess experience does matter.'

Chun Yeowun's lips formed into a thin smile.

Pach-chik!

"Kuak!"

"Ack!"

Unfortunately, five TP officers were hit by the curved beam.

As the beam pierced their suits, they died.

Now, there were only five people left, including Mark, who was still stepping on Chun Mu-seong.

"He-He isn't human! Eukkk!"

"We need to run!"

These were two kinds of behavior that humans showed when they were scared.

One is to run, and the other is to rush into the opponent without a plan.

Dududdudu!

Three TP officers opened fire at Chun Yeowun.

Although they knew that it wouldn't work, their reasoning was broken.

"D-DIEEEEEE!"

Swoosh!

Their bullets stopped right in front of Chun Yeowun.

Their deaths were no different from the TP officer who fired first.

The bullets stopped and then flew back to hit their owners.

Pupupuk!

"Kuak!"

As the three of them fell, something changed.

Woong!

'Huh?'

The energy of nature, which had been abnormally blocked, began to circulate naturally again.

[The spacetime canceller has been disabled.]

This was something that occurred when the four devices embedded in four directions were dismantled.

It seemed like there was a reason why the device was released.

One of the two TP officers pulled something out from his waist.

'Weapon?'

A small and round device.

Click! Woong!

When the TP officer pressed the protruding part of the device, the space and body shook along with disappearing.

'What? He disappeared?'

Not hidden.

Really disappeared.

The little round device was a time pack.

Chun Yeowun's eyes noticed the other TP officer doing the same thing.

He immediately stretched out the sword he controlled.

Slash!

The time pack in their hand was cut in half.

"Ah! No!"

The man shouted, bewildered.

At the same time, a strong light flashed from the cracked sphere, and it exploded.

Kwang!

Rather than a normal explosion, the space distorted, and then the man's body distorted strangely.

Crack!

"Kuak!"

He suffered a tragic death because of the time pack explosion.

Chun Yeowun actually felt sorry for the man.

As he didn't know anything about the time pack, the problem was that he mistook it for a weapon from the future.

Now all that was left was their leader, Mark.

"Da-Damn it…"

He cursed.

The suit had a stealth function, but it was of no use now.

Chun Yeowun was staring at him, who was stepping on Chun Mu-seong's neck.

"Take off that foot. Okay?"

At Chun Yeowun's warning, Mark shouted while aiming the gun at Chun Mu-seong's head.

"D-Don't move! If you try to threaten me, even the slightest bit, I will put a hole in his head!"

He couldn't kill Chun Yeowun.

The only way out was to use a time pack, but if Chun Yeowun interfered, then he wouldn't be able to run away.

"Don't even move a finger. I saw you move and kill the Time Patrollers! Just…"

Push!

"Kuk!"

Blood gushed out of Mark's mouth.

He couldn't stand the pain his heart was in.

Surely the man was standing still, but something had pierced his heart.

'H-He didn't even move his fing…'

He was already falling to the floor.

He never dreamed that death would visit him in such a place.

Before he knew it, he ended up cursing.

"Mother fu…"

Pak!

Chun Yeowun, who reached him instantly, took the gun from Mark's hand as he fell.

Clicking his tongue, he said.

"Tch, if you were a filial son to your mother, you shouldn't have ignored my warning."
