NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38: Revolution begins
"Allow him to do it, KB!" A translucent screen appeared high in the middle of the place.
When Ocean looked back, he remembered the face on the screen. She was the player Mona, who put a lot of pressure on the players to perform the bloody missions forced by the system in the first weeks of this new World, and then disappeared because her persistent approach was not welcomed by the others. Although other players knew that she was still alive because no system message was issued regarding her death, they thought that there was no need to track her unless she committed a bloody act.
"Mona… You!"
"Yes, Ocean. This whole World you live in as a guest, all the spies standing in front of you, all the monsters here, even all the humans including you… Everything that exists here belongs to me. I am the GM of this World!"
"..." Instead of speaking, Ocean chose to look at Mona with hateful eyes.
"This look in your eyes still makes us suspicious, as you stated. Assume that by exposing the existence of myself to you, I have taken the first step towards creating the trust environment I want. Now it is your turn to finish this. I liked your passion, Ocean. Go there, finish it then, and come to me, to the Throne Castle. Ah just before that… Help him, KB!"
KB raised her hand towards Ocean and just stared.
Ocean asked suspiciously, not feeling any change. "What did you do?"
"I added your inventory to an armor set that is pretty new to here. Arthur's Armor Set. It is a unique set with a very high level of power. But do not use it unless necessary, otherwise, you will be exposed. And of course, I repaired your eyes, which had just turned blood red, back to normal white… And finally, I gave you access to a new skill that will allow you to chain your enemies. It is much more effective than player-specific skills. Now go!"

Ocean performed one last operation before entering the GBR hive. After secretly watching Mini's battle with Pump until the end, he realized that Mini was going to die. And again he made a surprise choice and poisoned Mini with Athena's Blood.
In fact, the reasons for this were what Ocean had experienced in Dark's Enthronement Night and what he had just witnessed in the Throne Jungle. He knew, as did every player in this World, that just a few drops of Athena's Blood could drastically strengthen the human constitution. And sometimes some players had hoped to become stronger by drinking a little more Athena Blood, only to die a terrible death right after.
However, these events, which only he had the opportunity to witness, made him realize that the entire death system here was for the purpose of producing Athena's Blood. If the spies and GM Mona living in the Throne Castle were able to produce Athena's Blood from the blood they sucked from humans, as he witnessed, a reverse process would be possible.
The thing is, even though Ocean was not entirely sure of the accuracy of the results and what he was doing, he launched a long-term and secret operation. He constantly approached Mini like a friend, poisoning him with Athena Blood whenever he had the opportunity. For the months... By increasing the dosage a little more each time...Without him noticing, he constantly made him drink Athena's Blood, either by giving him treats or while he was asleep. He had prepared Mini's body for one last enormous shot over a long period of time, pushing him to the limit but not enough to kill him...
Mini always thought that the aftereffects such as vomiting blood, long-term coma, etc. were the result of having red eyes. He never realized that Ocean had poisoned him with the Blood of Athena...
And that day, Ocean, knowing that his time was running out, gave Mini the enormous shot on the GBR battlefield.
For this reason, he used the already dying Mini as a guinea pig and entered the castle after making him drink all the Athena Blood he had with him. Without seeing the result...
Mini would either die there, would come after him after experiencing an unimaginable evolution.
Knowing that he made a terrible gamble on Mini's life, Ocean achieved the result exactly as he dreamed. Moreover, despite all the obstacles of Cloak, who realized at the last moment that Mini was heading towards a terrible fate...

*** GBR Battlefield, present time ***
Everyone was looking towards these two newly emerged people, waiting for the fog to subside in order to understand the situation and their identities.
"You?" Haites was the first to notice the situation. "I had kicked you out, technically you shouldn't be able to come here… How?"
These two new people before them were KB and Luckysmile, members of the Oni Alliance, who were in this area a short time ago and were expelled because of Haites's leadership skills. As Haites said, technically there was a new surprise because even the cooldown clock above their heads was still counting down. Even Aramis, the Permanent King of the server, had failed to return.
"Ah, really… Haven't you just teleported us to reach our hive, KB? What are we doing here?" And surprisingly, Luckysmile, like others on the battlefield, found the situation strange.
However, as soon as they teleported here, KB, who had broken the giant chains that imprisoned Ocean, looked at her alliance partner next to her with soulless eyes, without turning her head. And she didn't answer at all, just swung her left hand to the side…
Luckysmile… His head was separated from his body and his lifeless body fell to the ground, turning the ground where he stepped into a pool of blood.
The blood of everyone on the battlefield ran cold… A player had just beheaded her own alliance mate with her bare hands…
"EVERYONE, GET BACK AND FLEE FROM HERE! SHE IS THE REAL THING!!!" Realizing where the situation was heading, Pump shouted in fear to his friends, who were still watching in shock.
"AS IF I WOULD DO THAT!"

"GOFU DON'T!!!" Pump's warning did not work because Gofu's face showed incredible happiness rather than fear. The happiness of finding both a stronger enemy and another one of those who have been using him against his will and knowledge for a long time…
Again, motionless and soulless, KB only moved her eyes and this time looked at Gofu, who was rapidly coming towards her… "
The ground just in front of the KB split in the same way Ocean did a while ago, but this time it wasn't chains coming out of the ground… Countless human shadows emerging from underground... Dozens... No, hundreds…
And after these system messages, a new private message appeared in the DM of Ocean, who was lying injured on the ground.

Claw of RES Alliance teleported from his location to the place given by Ocean and found the letter, teleported back to Res Castle, and delivered it to his leader.

*** Simultaneously, RES Hive Main Hall ***
RES Leader Treader, no, the leader of the revolution group, who came to this world to prevent the destruction of other innocent people was sitting on the top step of the stairs right in front of him, instead of the throne behind him. And he was naively hugging the neck of the lady player from behind, who was sitting on the bottom step, and smelling her hair. "Time has come, my love…"
The player named Mrs Treader aka Serenity gently kissed the arm around her neck, pushed it back, and stood up. "Yes, my love… Let's go…"
"Again, I can…"
"No!" The woman looked at her husband with a warm smile. "Again! We can!"
The two of them looked at the body lying in blood on the floor right at the end of the steps and the player standing next to him, sheathing his sword. On his other hand, he had copies of Ocean's letter.
There was no one else in the huge room because Treader had sent all the remaining alliance members away on temporary assignments as he was about to take action… Just to protect them of course…
"I'm so sorry to give this mission to you, Claw…"
"No, Treader. This is the reason why we came to this World." Still, there was sadness in Claw's eyes for having killed his alliance friend Zorja. Even though he learned that she wasn't human...
"Thank you for being with us for all this time. Please deliver the names to them immediately via the relevant letters. We're giving you all the teleport papers we have except one because you only have a few minutes to complete the mission. We will go after Mona so that one will be enough for us. Because this is a one-way-ticket mission for us. Farewell, my friend!"
