00:00:00This world has become a strange hell filled with monsters invulnerable to ordinary weapons.
00:00:04The only hope for humanity is a select few with superpowers.
00:00:08The strongest among them was our MC, K.
00:00:10But even he is not almighty.
00:00:12And when he was betrayed by an organization and trapped with dozens of monsters, he died.
00:00:17Fortunately, he regressed back in time too before the apocalypse.
00:00:20He was reborn in the body of a baby, retaining his knowledge of monsters and his main power,
00:00:25which allows him to absorb the powers and abilities of the monsters he kills.
00:00:29After looking around more carefully, he realizes that he has somehow become a baby.
00:00:33As he's trying to figure out what in the world is going on, a slippered foot walks into his room.
00:00:38K. immediately goes on alert, backing into the corner of his crib as the strange person looms over him.
00:00:43His mind swims with different thoughts as he tries to figure out who this person is and if they are from the organization.
00:00:49But then the woman leans down with a loving look on her face and greets him as A-chan.
00:00:53It looks like this strange woman is his mother.
00:00:55And she came to check on him once she realized that he was awake.
00:00:58The woman goes back to cooking once she realizes that he's alright.
00:01:02And K. who's now A-chan, takes a moment to look around.
00:01:05Everything looks peaceful and clean unlike the world that he's used to.
00:01:08The TV is on and he can hear people moving around outside the house.
00:01:11It also doesn't look like there are any monsters outside.
00:01:14This is clearly an era of peace.
00:01:16And for him to suddenly find himself here as a baby, that means that he must have gotten reincarnated.
00:01:21He is now in another world where the catastrophe didn't happen.
00:01:24And more importantly, there's no organization here.
00:01:28That means, for the first time in a truly long time, A-chan is going to have a taste of freedom.
00:01:33Despite everything he has gone through in his life, the god of fate hasn't abandoned him.
00:01:37This day will always be remembered as the day of new beginnings.
00:01:40He takes a look at the nearest calendar and sees that the year is 2020, meaning that he woke up before the great catastrophe.
00:01:47That's not good since he can't do anything with his current baby body.
00:01:51He can't even stand up without holding something and his little limbs are too small to support his body.
00:01:55His throat also feels strange compared to his older body, so he can't talk either.
00:01:59All of that is terrible news for him since time is of the essence.
00:02:03There's no time for him to just be a normal baby when the world is about to enter the apocalypse.
00:02:07A-chan looks towards his mother and wonders if she is someone he can rely on.
00:02:11Instead of relying on her, though, maybe he can just use her like a puppet to achieve his goals.
00:02:15She has to be good for something.
00:02:17Even if she doesn't look too reliable, she's the only adult that he can get access to.
00:02:21He wonders if she is at least flexible, but several boxes falling from the shelf is enough to disprove that.
00:02:27She isn't good with her hands either, as she piles an impossible high amount of flour into a bowl while cooking.
00:02:32Neither is she good at cooking, and she almost burns down the house while trying to make breakfast.
00:02:36It's obvious that she can't do anything, but she at least tries her best to take care of her baby, even with her hair roasted by the fire she caused earlier.
00:02:44It already feels like the end of the world, and the future of his new life looks rough.
00:02:48The doorbell rings, and his mother goes to answer the door and receive a package that just recently came in.
00:02:53Before she opens the door, though, she has to find her wallet so she can pay for the delivery.
00:02:57As she leaves to find her wallet, A-chan tries to remember the last time he has heard that word.
00:03:02The last time he remembered hearing about packages was when delivery workers took packages to meet a lot of people.
00:03:08Those delivery workers also happened to be infected, and it ended up being a terrifying situation.
00:03:13As he starts to realize the situation and what that package delivery might really mean,
00:03:17the door slowly opens, and a ghoulish voice comes in from the other side, urging him to take the package.
00:03:23As the door fully opens, it's just as A-chan predicted.
00:03:26The person on the other side is infected, and they have turned into a delivery monster.
00:03:30A-chan can't be scared, and even with his baby body, he has to find something to use to defend himself.
00:03:36The only thing available to him is the baby bottle that his mother gave him, and a pillow as well.
00:03:40He grabs the pillow and throws it on the ground, when suddenly the monster launches an attack straight at his head.
00:03:46The powerful blast cuts through the crib, and A-chan grabs his bottle before making a quick escape out of the crib,
00:03:51and landing on the pillow that he threw to the ground earlier.
00:03:54It doesn't have to be said that if a blast like that touches him, then he's definitely dead.
00:03:58Luckily, he has enough experience with fighting monsters from his past life.
00:04:02And from that experience, he knows that there's no way he can beat his current opponent.
00:04:06It looks like an amplified monster, and on top of that, the tentacles on its head look even more dangerous.
00:04:12But another thing he knows is that strong monsters like these are terrible at making tight turns.
00:04:17He tosses his bottle lightly under the monsters, and it trips on it while rushing towards him,
00:04:21flying over his head and crashing through the window.
00:04:23For the first time ever, A-chan is actually grateful for all the brutal battles that he went through in his past life.
00:04:29As he's celebrating his victory, a tail sprouts out from his back and rushes out the window after the monster.
00:04:35It reaches the dead body laying on the street and eats up the monster core like a living being.
00:04:39A-chan grabs the tail and looks at it as it munches on the monster core.
00:04:43He's familiar with it, since this is the ability he had in his previous life, the tail of Toadie.
00:04:48It's a powerful ability, but he has no idea why he still has it even after reincarnating.
00:04:53The Great Catastrophe is set to happen four years in the future, and K in his past life was born three years after that.
00:04:59He doesn't know what's going on, but he's incredibly lucky to get this ability out of nowhere.
00:05:04In his past life, he got the ability after absorbing the core of a monster that also had the Toadie tail.
00:05:10Another fortunate thing is that the younger someone activates their power, the stronger it will turn out to be.
00:05:15To test it out, he turns his hand into a sharp blade and uses it to strike his crib, bending it instantly.
00:05:21In his past life, he awakened as an S-class when he was seven, but since he has this power as an infant, then he will become the legendary triple S-rank this time.
00:05:29This is his ticket to riches, fame, and beautiful women.
00:05:32In that case, he doesn't need to stick around in this house and play the role of a clueless baby.
00:05:37As he crawls away to start his new life, the crib that he bent earlier starts to fall, and its aim is right on top of him.
00:05:42A-chan tries to move out of the way, but his body gives up on him, and he's left unable to move.
00:05:48The metal crib eventually cracks and starts to fall to the side, and the last thing he sees as his eyes close is his mother desperately rushing to his side as the crib falls.
00:05:57He remembers his past life and his ruthless master that put him through many horrible trials.
00:06:02The man made him do disgusting things like eating dog food to survive.
00:06:05Things like that were to prove that he really is just the organization's dog.
00:06:09A-chan grits his teeth, angry at the fact that he is referred to as the organization's dog.
00:06:14He wakes up slowly as the sun starts to shine on his face.
00:06:17It looks like he blacked out after defeating the monster.
00:06:20He slowly pushes himself up and sees his mother sitting close by and writing in a book.
00:06:24It looks like she managed to save him after all.
00:06:27But now the question is why he passed out in the first place.
00:06:29It looks like the power of his ability is too much for his body.
00:06:32He only used it for 30 seconds, and yet, it completely wore him out and left him completely defenseless.
00:06:38For now, he needs to get stronger if he wants to be able to handle his powers again.
00:06:43As he's thinking about that, he hears the sounds of his mother crying.
00:06:46He takes a look at the book that she's reading and its covered sticky notes.
00:06:50On the page, she writes about how she almost lost her treasure.
00:06:53It seems like she's talking about him.
00:06:55There's also a nasty bruise on her back, and it's likely that she got the bruise from protecting him.
00:06:59His mother from his past life would have happily sold him to the organization for a quick profit,
00:07:04and yet this woman risked herself to protect him.
00:07:07He reaches one of his tiny hands to comfort her,
00:07:09and as soon as she feels him touching her, she reaches over and grabs him in a tight hug.
00:07:13It looks like this woman is different from her, and that makes him decide to stay with her for a while.
00:07:18Regardless, there's still not a lot of time, and the world will change in less than a week.
00:07:22The next monster should already be on its way,
00:07:25and he needs to be able to fight for more than 30 seconds if he wants to protect his new home.
00:07:28Outside their apartment, a window cleaner shivers in pain as blue slime seeps out of his eyes, mouth, and nose.
00:07:35The blue slime slips down and enters the drainpipes below him, on its way to somewhere specific.
00:07:40As A-chan is considering his next steps, his mother brings something over to him covered in a red blanket.
00:07:46She removes the blanket to reveal a dog inside a cage for him.
00:07:49She got the dog from their neighbor so that he can have a companion.
00:07:52A-chan remembers the dog from his past life.
00:07:54It was a fierce mutt, and he never thought he would see it again in this life.
00:07:58On top of that, the dog is way too big to be a baby's playmate.
00:08:02However, this might turn out to be a good thing for A-chan.
00:08:05His mother might be a bit ditzy, but it looks like she can be useful sometimes after all.
00:08:09If he trains the dog right, then it can end up becoming a strong ally,
00:08:13and it can even grow into a means of transportation.
00:08:15Having a big dog might not be so bad after all.
00:08:18His mother smiles at the little grin on his face.
00:08:20It looks like she made the right decision, and it at least made him happy.
00:08:24She leaves the two of them to play while she goes to do some more chores around the house.
00:08:28A-chan stares the dog down as he wonders what he's going to do with it.
00:08:31For now, he's going to need to feed it first.
00:08:33He gives the dog a sausage from the kitchen and orders it to eat.
00:08:36If he eats it, then A-chan will become its master, and the training can begin.
00:08:40Despite the baby's attempt at forming a contract with the dog,
00:08:43it seems like it's too simple-minded to understand what they are doing.
00:08:47As the dog bends down to pick up the sausage,
00:08:49A-chan stomps on his head, showing off the difference in their power dynamic.
00:08:53However, even though the dog doesn't understand what the baby is saying,
00:08:56that doesn't mean that it'll tolerate disrespect.
00:08:59It punches A-chan with two well-placed paws to the face, sending the baby flying.
00:09:03Then it turns away to enjoy its sausage in peace,
00:09:05but the baby isn't going to take that laying down.
00:09:08A-chan leaps up to attack the dog with a loud battle cry.
00:09:10He pounces on the dog, and the two of them fight it out while the mother laughs at their antics.
00:09:15It looks like the two of them have already become friends.
00:09:18As she's cooking, she realizes that she's out of flour.
00:09:21When she bends down to try and find it, though,
00:09:23a blue slime monster comes up from the sink and towers over the fighting dog and baby,
00:09:28aiming directly for the oblivious woman who is still trying to find some new flour to use and cook.
00:09:33The slime monster lifts into the air and aims directly for A-chan's mother.
00:09:36The dog springs into action and rushes to go for the monster before it can hurt her.
00:09:40It gets there just in time to push her into the sink cupboard before the slime can attack her.
00:09:44Thankfully, the mother doesn't know what's going on, while the slime and the dog fight behind her.
00:09:49A-chan watches the whole thing happen with an unimpressed look on his face.
00:09:53The monster is way too weak to cause any real problems, but it'll still be troublesome to deal with.
00:09:57Its liquid makes slashing and stabbing attacks useless, so they have to find another way to deal with it.
00:10:02His mother tries to get herself out of the cupboard, but she's more concerned about the pain in her head,
00:10:06not even realizing the intense battle happening between the dog and the monster behind her.
00:10:11The slime eventually starts to envelop the dog, and begins to morph into something different.
00:10:16A-chan is going to have to act fast before things get out of control.
00:10:19He remembers from his past battles that the slime monster is weak to dryness,
00:10:23so he has to find something to use to dry it up.
00:10:26He immediately notices his bottle filled with powdered milk and opens it before tossing it at the monster.
00:10:31The slime recoils and shrinks in size before bouncing around the room.
00:10:35Losing moisture thanks to the milk sent it into a panic, and it's reacting because of it.
00:10:39A-chan takes the opportunity once it stops moving to trap it under a dustbin.
00:10:43It looks like things have cleared up, and both the dog and his mother peek their heads up from behind the kitchen counter.
00:10:48His mother then accidentally spills flour on the both of them, leaving them more disoriented than they already were.
00:10:54Because of the flour spill, his mother rushes off to go and wash herself off before the flour stains her outfit.
00:11:00Meanwhile, A-chan continues to enjoy the thrill of managing to catch a monster.
00:11:03Slimes can be used as a natural monster repellent, which means that if he manages to spread the slime's liquid on the windows,
00:11:10then it can act like a deterrent from any monster attacks that may happen in the future.
00:11:14Suddenly, the dustbin starts to shift, and the slime leaps out from under it,
00:11:18taking advantage of the silence as an opportunity to escape.
00:11:21The dog gets in front of it before it can get too far, and A-chan rushes over to try and trap it again,
00:11:26but it still manages to slip away, this time completely avoiding getting trapped under the dustbin.
00:11:32Before it leaves, it raises a middle finger at the two of them as it slips out the window.
00:11:36The slime came to their home on its own and caused chaos, and then had the audacity to try and leave on its own.
00:11:41It may be weak, but it's too cocky for both of their likings, and that makes them too angry to allow it to escape freely.
00:11:48A-chan grabs a nearby umbrella as a weapon and climbs onto the dog as a trust steed.
00:11:52It's time for him to chase after the monster before it gets too far and causes even more trouble.
00:11:57There's no way they can let it escape so that it can cause more trouble for them or others in the future.
00:12:02They get to the ground floor of the building and see the slime perched on top of a building.
00:12:06It drips its liquid on the head of a girl passing by,
00:12:09and she looks up just in time to see it leaping down and trying to swallow her up.
00:12:13A-chan and the dog rush to their rescue as the baby tries to figure out what to do.
00:12:17If he uses his own strength, he definitely won't be able to hold out against the slime,
00:12:21but if they let the monster feed on the girl freely, then the place will end up becoming a sea of blood.
00:12:26That kind of scene is something that A-chan has seen enough of in his past life.
00:12:30The dog is just fast enough to reach the girl in time and leap over her,
00:12:33while A-chan opens up the umbrella and blocks the rain of slime before it can hit the girl.
00:12:38The slime is not deterred and jumps off the umbrella, this time aiming to attack the dog and baby directly.
00:12:44Since A-chan can only use his powers for a short time, he has one shot to use and end the monster in an instant.
00:12:49He shoots an enhanced punch with his powers, blowing through the monster immediately and destroying it.
00:12:54The slime explodes and rains down on the area, completely defeated while A-chan and the dog stand victorious after the short battle.
00:13:01Thankfully, he was in time to save the girl before she became slime food, but she also saw him use his powers, and she looks terrified.
00:13:08Without wasting a second, the girl takes off sprinting down the road without looking back.
00:13:13It's understandable that she ran away, considering the scene that she just witnessed.
00:13:16The more difficult thing to think about is how long it'll take him to clean up this mess.
00:13:21His tail comes out from his diaper and goes to absorb the slime scattered around the street.
00:13:25It looks like the tail has the power to absorb another monster's ability.
00:13:29In his past life, the only way for K to absorb a new ability is if he switches it out with the previous one.
00:13:35However now, the tail is quickly eating up all the scattered slime liquid and turning the power into his own.
00:13:40He tests out the power by forming a slime ball in his hand, and it really does look like the two powers are coexisting.
00:13:47In his past life, K tried his best to make sure that he switched abilities as little as possible, so he wouldn't get caught by the organization.
00:13:54That ended up being his downfall at the end.
00:13:56But that doesn't change how strange it is that the tail of Tao Tei somehow evolved on its own.
00:14:00It could most likely be because of his age.
00:14:02The younger the age of a person when they start developing abilities,
00:14:05the stronger the power of the ability, and the faster the person is able to adapt to it.
00:14:10K became an eligible user for abilities at the age of 10, but everyone younger than him died.
00:14:15Most children can't survive monster toxins, and they all ended up dying as soon as they were exposed to it.
00:14:21But now, K is even younger than any of the other potential candidates from his past life,
00:14:25meaning that his growth potential is incalculable.
00:14:28While he was thinking about how to do things, the dog brought him back home safely.
00:14:32He jumps off the back of his trusty steed and uses his new slime powers to coat the area,
00:14:37ensuring that no monsters will be coming to his home anymore.
00:14:40But just doing that alone has already drained him of all energy and left him exhausted.
00:14:44There's no use thinking of getting new abilities or adapting to his current one,
00:14:48because his stamina is just way too low for him to be able to do anything with the powers.
00:14:52However, he doesn't need to worry too much about the potential future,
00:14:55since the monsters shouldn't come and disturb them anymore thanks to his slime barrier.
00:14:59A-chan collapses to the floor in exhaustion, and the dog comes over to him with a menacing look in his eyes.
00:15:04It looks like it's finally time for the dog to get revenge for that humiliation earlier.
00:15:09The dog leans down and picks A-chan up by the scruff of his shirt,
00:15:12and for a moment, the baby thinks that he's about to be turned into dog food.
00:15:16Back in the apartment, his mother comes out of the shower, fully cleaned of the flour that poured earlier.
00:15:20She heads to the living room to see how her son is doing, and sees him snuggled up with the dog on the floor.
00:15:25It may look like they are snuggled up, but A-chan is struggling fiercely against the weight of the dog on top of him.
00:15:31Hours pass, and the baby is able to free himself from his fluffy prison to get to work on protecting the apartment.
00:15:37He manages to coat the windows and vents, and also the drainage pipes with the special slime.
00:15:41Now even if a major disaster hits the house, they will be safe for a while.
00:15:46While doing all of that, he was able to figure out the current state of the Taudi tale.
00:15:49Apparently, it can stock up to four abilities at once, unlike in his past life where he had to swap out one for another.
00:15:56Right now, he can use both the Taudi tale and his slime powers, but only for about half a minute.
00:16:01In order to prepare for a major disaster, he's going to need to do other things.
00:16:05One of the first things any survivor desperately needs in the apocalypse is supplies.
00:16:09The biggest cause of death after the disaster wasn't even the monsters.
00:16:13It's the starvation caused by disrupted logistics, which eventually led to the desperate scramble for supplies.
00:16:18If someone can manage to stockpile on supplies early on and avoid the conflict altogether,
00:16:23that person can even create followers and have people on their side during the most dangerous parts of the disaster.
00:16:29A-chan will need to prepare it as soon as possible, but as a baby, there's a limit to what he can do.
00:16:34Supermarkets are crowded, and eventually, places will be full of monsters.
00:16:38If even one person gets infected, the disease will spread around rapidly with no hope of slowing down.
00:16:43With his current body, A-chan definitely won't be able to handle a large horde alone,
00:16:48but there also aren't many places that he can get supplies from right now.
00:16:52As he's thinking about any other options he might have to get supplies in the future,
00:16:56his mother's phone rings on the living room table.
00:16:58He goes to check who it is and sees messages coming in from the landlord's group chat.
00:17:02Luckily, her phone isn't locked, so he can easily open it up and see what's going on.
00:17:06The people in the group chat are discussing a weird virus that's spreading around,
00:17:10and how people infected by the virus are becoming monsters.
00:17:13It's clear that they don't yet know the severity of the apocalypse that's coming,
00:17:17and A-chan is more than happy to enlighten them a bit about it.
00:17:20He sneakily creates an account and hops into the room,
00:17:23informing people about how a great disaster is coming,
00:17:26and they need to get their supplies before everything goes to chaos.
00:17:29Although he's trying to help them by giving them carefully guided instructions,
00:17:32it's clear that no one believes him.
00:17:34The fact that he doesn't even have a profile yet since he freshly created the account
00:17:38also doesn't help his case.
00:17:40There's nothing for him to do as a baby,
00:17:41and online forums aren't much help either.
00:17:43At this rate, all of them will end up dying before the organization even forms.
00:17:48A friend request suddenly comes in on the phone.
00:17:50He accepts the request out of curiosity,
00:17:52and the person on the other end cuts to the chase
00:17:54and tells him that they want to make a deal with him if he is really searching for supplies.
00:17:59The person's username is hot, and it sounds familiar to the baby.
00:18:02That was the same name of a woman who worked for the organization that was also named Hot.
00:18:06His guess is spot on,
00:18:07and the person on the other side of the screen is indeed the Hot that he's thinking of.
00:18:11She relaxes against the chair in a room filled with computers and gadgets while texting him.
00:18:16It looks like things are about to get very interesting for her.
00:18:19It's clear that whoever she's talking to is a very cautious person, however.
00:18:23Before making any type of deal, they want to hear what her plan is.
00:18:26Talking to them has already become very troublesome,
00:18:29and they've barely spoken any words to each other.
00:18:31So she decides to be direct and make him a proposal in hopes of sealing their deal.
00:18:35She offers to give him all the supplies he wants,
00:18:37whether that be food, water, armor, or whatever else they may need.
00:18:41The only thing that she will place a price on is any information that he needs.
00:18:45That goes for 100 million yen.
00:18:47But for Hot, transportation is also a problem.
00:18:50So she offers to give him the information that he needs,
00:18:53if he gives her 20% of the supplies that he collects.
00:18:55Both the tone of her voice and the 100 million yen starting price sound like something more fitting for a grade schooler.
00:19:01Looking at it logically, there's no way that this person he's talking to isn't the Hot he remembers from the organization.
00:19:08He continues relating with her, asking her directly why he should trust anything she says.
00:19:12On top of that, he also asks why he should even agree to the negotiations in the first place.
00:19:17Hot asks him if he is hoping to become an enemy instead of an ally.
00:19:20She would prefer that they get along instead of bickering or distrusting each other.
00:19:24The baby agrees and asks to know where the place to pick up the supplies is.
00:19:28She tells him that she put the information in a mailbox at the bottom floor of the apartment building where he lives.
00:19:33The organization hasn't formed yet, which means that Hot isn't an executive of it yet.
00:19:38And despite that, she's still a dangerous woman who uses information to toy with people for her own gain.
00:19:43Once she sets her eyes on her target,
00:19:45she will use every trick she knows to exploit the person to the fullest extent that she can.
00:19:49There's no way she would want to get along with someone that she just started talking to.
00:19:53She just wants to lure him into a trap using information as the bait.
00:19:57This time, however, A-chan is wise to her tricks, and he will be the one to stir things up, not her.
00:20:02He takes a rest first and sleeps for two hours.
00:20:05By the time he wakes up, his used-up stamina from earlier is completely recovered,
00:20:09and he's ready to go and get the information he needs.
00:20:12The elevator has security cameras and he definitely doesn't want to reveal his identity to her so easily.
00:20:16So instead, he turns his attention to the stairs.
00:20:20As he gets there, he realizes that there is one problem with his plan.
00:20:24He is still a baby, and the stairs are much too difficult for him to climb with his current body.
00:20:28In that case, he has to rely on his fluffy companion.
00:20:31He turns to the dog sleeping on the couch,
00:20:33knowing that the pooch is his only hope of getting to that mailbox.
00:20:37A-chan goes to wake the dog up by grabbing the dog's tail and dragging it,
00:20:41but the dog is not amused.
00:20:42It slaps A-chan away with its tail, sending the little kid flying with a red cheek.
00:20:47And A-chan thought that he had managed to tame the beast,
00:20:50but it looks like they are still not on good terms.
00:20:52A-chan spots something on the kitchen counter that should be able to help his cause.
00:20:56It's a box of treats, and he should be able to use that to lure the dog into helping him.
00:21:00He pours some of the dog treats in his hands and brings it up to its nose.
00:21:04In a matter of seconds, the dog gets up and agrees to the deal immediately.
00:21:07It looks like despite its strong face, the mud is actually rather easy to please.
00:21:12With his transportation secured,
00:21:13the next step is getting to the place where Hot dropped the information before his mother wakes up.
00:21:18He rides the dog through the apartment building and eventually reaches where the mailboxes are.
00:21:22Inside one of the mailboxes, there's a pink letter sticking out of it.
00:21:26That's obviously what his target should be.
00:21:28But there's also a camera watching the area as well.
00:21:30It's obvious that Hot wants to use the camera to confirm his identity.
00:21:33If that happens, then his information will be sold immediately and he will lose his upper hand.
00:21:39Hot doesn't mess with people she doesn't know, so A-chan has to keep his anonymity no matter what.
00:21:43In that case, he just has to throw her off.
00:21:46The baby activates his powers, stretching slim red tendrils around the room and scanning the surroundings for anything suspicious.
00:21:52Besides the apartment's security camera, he manages to find three other hidden cameras most likely installed by her.
00:21:58It's obvious that she desperately wants to expose his identity.
00:22:01Hot laughs in her computer room, eagerly waiting to see what kind of sucker will fall for her trap this time.
00:22:06However, without anyone getting close to the mailbox, she receives a confirmation from the person that she's been speaking to that he has already collected the information.
00:22:14She desperately looks through the camera footage, but the only thing she sees on the feed is a dog idly standing beside the mailbox.
00:22:21Little does she know that behind the dog is the target of her annoyance, sneakily trying to read the letter without her knowing.
00:22:27He managed to figure out where the camera's blind spot was, and used his furry companion to hide and read the letter subtly.
00:22:33He grabs the flyer from the mailbox and rushes away without being seen.
00:22:37The flyer points him to a clearance sale deal in a supermarket within the area, and that's most likely where he needs to go.
00:22:43As he reads through the flyer, Hot anxiously blows up his phone, asking him to reveal who exactly he is.
00:22:49He taunts her back by telling her that he will reveal his identity if she gives him 100 million yen.
00:22:53That angers Hot even more at the fact that whoever this person is, they are clearly underestimating her, and she wants to make sure that they regret it.
00:23:02She activates a spider surveillance system hiding within a drain and orders it to scan the entire building.
00:23:07The spider-looking device is equipped with a camera, as well as being dustproof, waterproof, and resistant to temperatures, magnets, high speed, and electric shock.
00:23:16The spider makes its way towards A-chan and the dog, but it's immediately stomped by a pair of fluffy slippers coming down the stairs behind them.
00:23:23Hot cries out in pain as her 30 million dollar robot is destroyed in a matter of seconds.
00:23:28The person responsible for destroying it is his own mother, and she came down to look for them after not seeing them for a while.
00:23:34Hot cries over the loss of her spider device, but luckily, it seems like the audio function still works.
00:23:39She can hear a female voice on the other, and then she realizes that the call function also works, which means that they should also be able to hear her.
00:23:47She picks up the mic and tries to threaten whoever is on the other end, warning them that they have not won just because they managed to squash her spider.
00:23:54Now that she has heard their voice, she can expose all of their messages and their dark past all over the internet.
00:24:00She continues taunting them, but whoever is on the other end doesn't respond.
00:24:03Instead, they continue talking to someone else, commenting how they are wearing light clothes and they could get a cold.
00:24:10That's when Hot realizes that the person on the other end can't hear her, and she's been talking to herself the whole time.
00:24:15On top of that, after doing a bit of research, even with her vast network and connections, she can't seem to find out who the person on the other side is.
00:24:23Whoever they are, they are completely hidden, and she has no idea.
00:24:27Meanwhile, A-chan gets a free ride back to the apartment from his mother.
00:24:30She scolds him for coming out on his own and tells him how dangerous it is.
00:24:33Meanwhile, the mechanical spider lays crushed on the floor, and it can only be used at 4% capability.
00:24:39Hot eventually reaches out to A-chan again and tells the baby that she will give out the information for free as well as the supplies.
00:24:46It looks like she has given up already, and it's almost disappointing how easily she gave up despite all the trouble she caused.
00:24:52When they return to the apartment, A-chan is surprisingly let off the hook for running out of the apartment.
00:24:57His mother thinks that the dog opened the door by itself, and that the baby crawled out afterwards while still half asleep.
00:25:03Because of that, he won't be able to use the dog for a while, and it has been tied up to avoid any further instances like these.
00:25:10According to Hot, a warehouse-style supermarket will open soon which means that she is going to give them supplies from an inventory that she stole from others.
00:25:17For Hot to do that so willingly, she's being rather generous despite everything.
00:25:21If he's going to gather materials, then he needs to do it sooner rather than later.
00:25:25But first, he has to figure out a way to get to the supermarket in the first place.
00:25:29He left a flyer out on the table for his mother to see, but she hasn't even noticed it.
00:25:33There's no way that he can just directly tell her about the end of the world, but he's going to need to do something.
00:25:38As he's trying to figure out what to do, he overhears her talking about how there are only 5 days worth of milk left.
00:25:44That's a perfect opportunity, and he can use that to his advantage.
00:25:47He pushes over the cup of milk on the table, and then pretends to still be asleep when she comes over to check the noise.
00:25:53When she goes to clean up the milk, she finally notices the flyer on the table for the supermarket.
00:25:58She picks it up and starts to consider checking it out, and everything goes all according to A-chan's plan.
00:26:03The day finally comes for the trip to the warehouse and she dresses up the baby in pink clothes, much to his disappointment.
00:26:09While they are both out, the dog has been left at home with plenty of food to eat.
00:26:13They reach the supermarket, but before she can enter, a security guard rushes over to ask her what she's doing in the area.
00:26:19He tells her that there is an infectious disease going around and people are supposed to refrain from going around.
00:26:24The mother tries to tell him that she just wants to buy powdered milk for her baby, but the guard is having none of her excuses.
00:26:30He's a government worker, and A-chan knows that the government will soon disappear, so they don't have to worry about things like these for long.
00:26:37The guard is only doing this because he has been ordered to, and he tells her that she should go home.
00:26:41As he's talking to her, he doesn't notice the monster stalking up behind him until it puts its hand on the man's head.
00:26:47In an instant, the monster squeezes its hand and the man's head pops like a bloody balloon.
00:26:51Then it sets its sights on the defenseless mother and child.
00:26:54This monster is a lot larger than anything A-chan has faced so far, and it's a strong proliferative type, so it doesn't have any particular weak points either.
00:27:02He doesn't want to reveal his strength, but if he doesn't use his power, then both he and his mother will die here.
00:27:08There's no time to waste, and he's about to spring into action, but his mother plucks him out of the stroller and tries to make a run for it.
00:27:15A-chan knows that running away is useless since this thing is a whole different species.
00:27:19It's way faster than a human, and his mother has no hope of escaping on foot.
00:27:23As the monster gets closer to them, A-chan notices a case of fire extinguishers on the wall, and then he uses his powers to break the case.
00:27:30It explodes and covers the entire area in gas.
00:27:32The sudden cloud is enough for A-chan to squeeze out of his mother's arms and attack the monster, sending it flying away and crashing into a wall.
00:27:40He has about 30 seconds, and until the dust settles to take care of this monster.
00:27:44In that 30 seconds, he is going to need to settle the fight with this monster before his mother notices what's going on.
00:27:50His mother has passed out because of the sudden attack from the monster, so he has to make sure to take care of everything before she wakes up.
00:27:57Luckily for him, she's unconscious from the earlier impact, but there's no time.
00:28:01The proliferative type has its core in its head.
00:28:03If he can manage to strike its head, then it will definitely die in one hit.
00:28:07However, the monster is still unharmed even after the strike he gave it earlier.
00:28:11A-chan has to make sure to finish off the beast in one blow before it can get back up and hurt him or his mother.
00:28:17There's no shortcuts he can use like all the other times.
00:28:20This time he's going to have to fight it head-on with his own strength.
00:28:23Thankfully, he can at least stand this time and doesn't have to crawl around.
00:28:26The monster takes the initiative and jumps towards the child, but A-chan is able to dodge out of the way before it can take him down.
00:28:33He then uses his ability to slice up the monster with thin strands of his toady ability.
00:28:38He didn't manage to take out the monster, but he at least managed to make it bleed after that heavy attack.
00:28:43Things don't look so good right now, but A-chan is sure that the one who is going to win is him.
00:28:47He rushes off to attack the monster again, this time sure that he can at least hold his own against it.
00:28:52Thanks to his small body, he is able to easily dodge most of its attacks, and uses the string from his toady ability to swing around its body and wrap around it.
00:29:00Then once he lands, he pulls the string, once again cutting through it instantly.
00:29:04It seems like he has the upper hand, but he still needs to strike the monster in the head to defeat it.
00:29:09Luckily for him, with a body as large as that, it makes it difficult to aim for a fast-moving baby.
00:29:14It also can't use its full strength because of how fast it's forced to move.
00:29:18For the monster, it would be the same as trying to chase a mouse.
00:29:22Eventually, A-chan is about to outrun and outsmart the monster perfectly, wearing it down severely until it can barely move.
00:29:28This is all thanks to the experience he has built from battles in his old life, up till now.
00:29:33Thanks to the consistent attacks from the baby, the monster's power has been greatly reduced, and one more hit should be enough to take it down.
00:29:40He can't get too smug though.
00:29:41And although the monster has been severely weakened by the constant attacks, it uses all of its strength to grab one of the spikes from its back and chuck it at the baby with incredible strength.
00:29:51A-chan is fast enough to dodge the attack, but it still manages to cut deeply into his forehead.
00:29:56He hops away, putting significant distance between him and the monster before it can launch another one of those attacks.
00:30:02If it continues to attack like that, then the baby has no chance of getting closer to finish it off.
00:30:07For now, he has to try and think up another strategy like a surprise attack, or he has to find a way to divert its attention.
00:30:13There's no time left either, and he will soon feel the after effects of using the full strength of his powers.
00:30:19For now, he might have to run and take his mother away before she gets hurt.
00:30:23As he's still trying to figure out what to do, he notices his mother helplessly looking around back at the ground floor.
00:30:28It looks like his time ran out faster than he anticipated, and now she has woken up, and she's desperately looking for him.
00:30:35As she searches around for him, she comes face to face with the monster and stares up at it in shock.
00:30:40Instead of running though, she reaches into her pocket to get something, and A-chan desperately yells for her to run away because she definitely won't be able to take on the monster by herself.
00:30:48But as the protagonist's mother, she definitely has some tricks of her own.
00:30:52From her pocket, she pulls out a stun gun and shoots it at the monster, zapping it with intense electricity and causing it to freeze up.
00:30:59It may be unorthodox, but this is exactly the diversion that the baby was looking for.
00:31:04A-chan leaps off the building towards the streets below, right as the monster recovers and swipes at his mother, sending her flying backwards.
00:31:10As she falls to the floor, conveniently looking away from the monster, A-chan comes descending from the skies with a massive attack, intent on taking out the trash once and for all.
00:31:20The monster looks up just in time to see a baby with a massive buildup of energy on its leg coming down at it at high speed.
00:31:26The attack connects right on the monster's head, breaking it apart immediately and killing it instantly.
00:31:31His mother is still on the floor, unconscious as the baby walks up to her to check on her condition.
00:31:35As much as he's not too fond of her yet, it would have been way more dangerous for him if she wasn't there trying to protect him.
00:31:42Not only did she come to try and save him despite the danger, she also risked her life to save him.
00:31:47There's still a lot of training she has to go through before she can be useful to him, but it seems like he can at least trust her.
00:31:53As he thinks that to himself, the after effects of his power come crashing in, and he collapses beside her, losing his consciousness as well.
00:32:00When he wakes up again much later, he has a bandage on his head, and a strange, red-eyed man is fixing up a new diaper for him.
00:32:08A-chan doesn't recognize the stranger, and his immediate form of self-defense is to pee on the man to try and scare him away.
00:32:13His mother quickly rushes to apologize, hoping that the strange man doesn't get offended.
00:32:18He wipes the pee off his face, accepting the fact that he most likely just scared the kid, and that's why it happened.
00:32:23He then asks her if she's getting along with the dog, and it looks like his mother is familiar with the man.
00:32:28The man is most likely the former owner of the dog, and he thanks her for taking care of the mutt.
00:32:33A-chan is more concerned about the fact that his mother definitely saw the monster that attacked them earlier, but she's acting as if nothing has happened.
00:32:41Then he notices that his hair is wet.
00:32:43That probably means that she was crying in secret again while he was asleep.
00:32:46The man tells her that they are heading out to stock up on supplies and invites her to come alone with them.
00:32:50That catches A-chan's attention, as he realizes that stocking up on supplies and buying them all out with the help of other people definitely isn't a bad decision.
00:32:59Before he follows along with them, though, he still has to retrieve the crystal core from the monster that he defeated.
00:33:05He jumps out of his stroller and hurries over to the monster's remains.
00:33:08Once he uses his toadytail to absorb it, he immediately gains the monster's power.
00:33:13This time it seems to be a hardening skill, and it has already fused to his bloodstream.
00:33:17It's not a bad skill, and now he can use his tail as some sort of shield.
00:33:20But before he crawls back to his stroller, he notices the strange man from before having a call on her phone.
00:33:26He's talking with someone, and they seem to be talking about the fact that he and his mother are both a burden to them.
00:33:31He also reveals that the reason he's bringing both of them along is because in an emergency, they can be used as decoys, and at least be a little bit useful.
00:33:39The guy is definitely crazy, and it's clear that he has bad intentions.
00:33:42He tells the person on the other side of the line to take another vehicle and grab more supplies.
00:33:47As A-chan listens in on the conversation, he accidentally bumps the truck he's hiding behind, and the man quickly turns around, ready to attack anyone that's eavesdropping on him.
00:33:56The man comes up to him, but he's clearly expecting to see someone threatening, and instead sees a little baby which makes him let his guard down.
00:34:03The man pats A-chan on the head and asks him how he got all the way there.
00:34:07Then he gets back on the phone and tells the person on the other end that the baby heard their conversation.
00:34:11But he doesn't care about it since he's just a baby.
00:34:14On top of that, since A-chan is just a baby, killing him won't be a problem.
00:34:18The baby bends his head anxiously after realizing that the guy is completely insane.
00:34:23They all pack into a car and his mother secures him into a child safety seat at the back.
00:34:27Then they prepare to set up, with the man and three other people in the car.
00:34:31A-chan doesn't trust the crazy man to be the driver, but there's nothing he can do about it.
00:34:35If he could at least use his power, then he would be able to crush the crazy man in an instant and prove who is stronger.
00:34:41The others in the car get acquainted, and his mother tries to start a conversation by offering some snacks to the others.
00:34:46It's incredibly strange that these people seem so calm despite everything that's going on.
00:34:50A-chan starts to wonder if they have even seen footage of the monsters, and why anyone would even go outside at the moment.
00:34:56The man starts the car and waves to the person at the compound that they are staying at as they leave.
00:35:00A-chan realizes that their lack of awareness is probably a kind of self-defense.
00:35:05After all, even if people see monsters or corpses, it doesn't always mean that the world is ending.
00:35:10All they can do is act normal and try to hide their fear.
00:35:13As they continue to drive through the town, Miss Ling brings out a box of sandwiches to share with everyone in the car.
00:35:19The people in the car are all residents from the apartment building that A-chan and his mother are staying at.
00:35:23There's his mother Ling Yingyu, a resident of room 502.
00:35:27Then there's Den Ku, a resident of room 103.
00:35:30And finally, there's Ryu Kaisen, a resident of room 104.
00:35:35His mother continues to offer snacks to the others in the car as they drive to the supermarket.
00:35:39Ryu Kaisen asks his mother how she's managing to raise a child on her own, despite how tough it is.
00:35:44After all, she's young and beautiful, and it doesn't seem like she's working either.
00:35:48It's also dangerous to go outside with a child.
00:35:51His mother originally considered leaving him at home, but she has noticed that whenever A-chan is left alone, he starts to act crazy.
00:35:57She had to bring him with her after giving it a lot of thought.
00:36:01A-chan subconsciously tries to tell his mother to stop talking as she sighs while thinking of all the chaos that has happened because of her child over the past few days.
00:36:09One of the men at the front is Chin Minoru of room 504.
00:36:12The driver comments that Ling is useful in a fight, especially since she managed to take down a large monster with her taser gun.
00:36:18They also brought the dog as well in the truck that's following them, so they have some extra attack power if anything were to happen.
00:36:25A-chan's mother doesn't remember what happened, and she doesn't realize that it's her child who did all the work.
00:36:30As they continue to drive through the town, the driver realizes that something is wrong.
00:36:34There should be more monsters around, but the place is surprisingly empty.
00:36:38Suddenly, he notices someone running on the road, clearly looking for help.
00:36:41As she's running through the road, looking for somewhere to hide, the wall of a nearby building bursts open and a hand reaches out for her.
00:36:49Then she is suddenly overrun by several monsters all at once.
00:36:52The driver tells them to hold on tight as he tries to maneuver the car to avoid a collision with the monsters and the girl.
00:36:57The car and the truck both drift to avoid the small crowd of monsters, and they manage to move by safely.
00:37:02The dog barks loudly in the back seat as the monsters crowd over the girl and pull her to the ground.
00:37:07She cries for help as the monsters pile on top of her and attack her.
00:37:10Today has been really hectic from the moment A-chan and his mother left their house.
00:37:14They are surrounded by monsters, and A-chan takes a moment to analyze the situation they are in.
00:37:19The bug-headed monsters surrounding the car all have sting marks on their necks.
00:37:23The handler of all the monsters must be some type of cyborg.
00:37:26The parasite handlers are parasitic-type monsters, and they have the ability to turn humans into cyborgs.
00:37:32Their power isn't much individually, but in large numbers, it's a different story.
00:37:36And as long as the handle runs around, the cyborg monsters will just keep multiplying.
00:37:41The best thing they can do is find a way to escape immediately.
00:37:44The rest of the bug monsters that aren't piling on the poor girl from earlier start coming towards the car to attack those inside.
00:37:50They are way too close for the driver's liking, and in a matter of seconds, one of the monsters manages to break through the windshield.
00:37:56A-chan looks around and knows that it's definitely possible for them all to survive this situation, but he needs to drive them off quickly before they become overwhelmingly large.
00:38:05Unfortunately, though, he can only use his powers for 30 seconds, and if he wastes all of it here, then it's all over.
00:38:12He looks around the car and wonders if any of the passengers is able to fight.
00:38:15Ryu desperately looks out of the car at the girl who's getting beaten and devoured by the monsters.
00:38:20She cries for the other in the car to stop wasting time and save her.
00:38:23That immediately pisses off A-chan as he realizes that she's going to be a burden to them going forward.
00:38:29Instead of trying to figure out a way to help everyone, she's crying for everyone to save her.
00:38:33They might as well leave her because it's not like she's useful in a fight.
00:38:37Chin Minoru tells them that they shouldn't go and save the girl.
00:38:39She already has the same wound as all the other monsters on her neck, meaning that she's most likely already a lost cause.
00:38:45Chin Minoru clearly has sharp eyes, but he's probably too old to be of any use in a battle, but he might at least be strong enough to carry supplies.
00:38:53The driver asks if they should charge into the mess, but if they are going to charge in, then they should deal with the monsters first before they all get wiped out.
00:39:01A-chan doesn't like that idea because it seems like he's trying to get them all killed.
00:39:05They can't rely on the guy when it really counts.
00:39:07The person driving the truck behind them is most likely the same.
00:39:10Den Koo picks up a hard object from somewhere in the car and announces that he will go and help any way he can.
00:39:16He looks like a wimp, but he might also be the kind of character that surprisingly goes berserk out of nowhere.
00:39:22He's trying to say that he's not scared, but it's clear that he's not reliable at all.
00:39:26It looks like there really isn't anyone in the car that can take down the monsters surrounding them.
00:39:30His mother reaches into her bag to get the gun that she was using earlier.
00:39:33Once Den hears that she is going outside with her gun, he decides that he doesn't need to go anymore.
00:39:38As they are all talking, a sharp object suddenly stabs into the car, going straight through Den's chest.
00:39:44Then he suddenly tosses out of the car like a ragdoll.
00:39:47Then sharp claws dig into the side of the car and a different insect monster peacocks its terrifying head into the car and immediately stabs a claw into Ryu, killing her immediately.
00:39:56It looks like this is the main body of all the cyborgs.
00:39:59It must have been hiding somewhere, waiting for the right time to pounce.
00:40:02Since there's no one in the car that's reliable, it looks like the baby is going to have to step up and deal with this situation.
00:40:08Before he can get up though, a sharp stinger heads straight towards his mother.
00:40:12He's not fast enough to stop it before it gets close to her, but instead of the stinger stabbing her, it unexpectedly stabs the car cushion instead.
00:40:20They look to the front of the car to see Chin Minoru unexpectedly holding the monster back.
00:40:24Chin Minoru realizes that this person must be the boss of all the monsters.
00:40:28The monster turns around and tries to stab him in the face, but he grabs the stinger and breaks it instead.
00:40:33It's clear that this man is something else entirely since he managed to take down the boss of all the monsters with his bare hands.
00:40:39The monster screams as he stabs its own stinger into its neck.
00:40:43Then as the monster's screams eventually fade, it dies off, and Chin Minoru drops its dead body off, making it fall down to the street floor.
00:40:51As he wipes the blood off his face, he complains about how old he is becoming.
00:40:55Meanwhile, A-chan looks on in adoration, as he realizes that the old man is a total powerhouse.
00:41:01But then he realizes that the fight isn't over yet.
00:41:03The monster on the ground has a second phase, and they can't let their guard down yet.
00:41:07A-chan doesn't know who this old man is, but just aiming for the heart isn't enough to kill the monster.
00:41:13Just as he expected, the monster starts to rise up again, and it's clear that it's about to attack again.
00:41:18He doesn't have a voice to talk, so he only has one way to warn the old man before things get bad.
00:41:22He cries out as loud as he can, causing the old man to look behind him and narrowly dodge a sneak attack from the insect monster.
00:41:29The old man has seen this before when he was still in the special combat division.
00:41:33He immediately realizes that the monster won't die by stabbing its heart.
00:41:37That explains why the man seems to be so strong.
00:41:39He worked in the special combat division, and that's why he has training to deal with monsters like these.
00:41:44The man jumps out of the car to attack the monster and bring it down.
00:41:47It looks like it won't die easily from simple methods, so Chin Minoru decides that this time, he will use all his energy to crush the monster once and for all.
00:41:56He grabs the monster by its head and slams his knee into its face, causing the skull to crack immediately.
00:42:01Just from the little fighting that he's doing, it's obvious that he has refined battle knowledge, and for him to make the decision to go for the head came very quickly.
00:42:08He should have realized sooner that the old man was from the military, and that he has special skills beyond the others in the car.
00:42:15In his past life, when he was the organization's dog, even though the military was already wiped out by the time he started going on,
00:42:21he heard rumors that after the government collapsed, the military became the largest force resisting the monsters.
00:42:27They were the enemies of the organization back then, but among them, there was the special combat division which worked at the core unit.
00:42:33It seems that they underwent a special training, and they were a thorn in the side of the organization.
00:42:39Thanks to the man's efforts, they can finally go to the supermarket and get the supplies they need.
00:42:43His mother initially suggests that they head home too, but Chin Minoru immediately shuts the idea down,
00:42:48and tells her that if they go home, something else might happen, so they need to keep moving forward.
00:42:53It looks like they finally have a reliable person on their team, but now A-chan has to figure out how to get this guy on their side.
00:42:59Maybe he can send out a fake military command, or he can blackmail Hot to make her send some insider info,
00:43:05or he can just cling to the man and force him to protect them.
00:43:08Just the thought of using the man for his own personal gain makes the baby grin evilly.
00:43:12As he's thinking of what to do, the man pats him on the head.
00:43:15Then he tells Miss Lin to stay close to him with A-chan so he can protect them a little.
00:43:19She immediately agrees and promises to not be a burden to him and to follow him diligently.
00:43:23He tells her not to expect too much from him, and he just wants to help them.
00:43:27She thanks the man for his help earlier in taking down that boss monster, but he tells her not to mention it.
00:43:32After all, if A-chan hadn't cried earlier, then he would have definitely died from the monster's attack.
00:43:38Then he tells the little baby that the more foolish someone is, the more they desire profit.
00:43:42That almost sounds like he could read the child's mind and know the selfish thoughts that he had earlier.
00:43:46A-chan crosses his arms and decides to peacefully accept the help from the man,
00:43:51but he knows that Chin Minoru's personality will end up being his downfall.
00:43:54They finally reach the supermarket that they have been aiming for since the beginning, but the gate is closed.
00:43:59It looks like it's their day off.
00:44:01The ad said that the supermarket would be open, but the place is clearly closed for business.
00:44:06A-chan knows that Hot is a master hacker and she probably shut the supermarket remotely.
00:44:10Suddenly the door opens up and the driver explains to them that he had a friend remotely open the door from somewhere else.
00:44:16As he says that, he smiles and flashes his phone, reminding them that they should remember to thank his friend later.
00:44:21That makes A-chan suspicious, and he sneakily pulls his mother's phone out of her bag to check it.
00:44:26He opens the messages and sees that Hot sent him a message recently informing him that she saw their car on the security camera and opened the gate for them.
00:44:34That confirms that the driver definitely knows Hot.
00:44:37That makes things a lot more complicated for him, because Hot and the driver are both very suspicious people to him.
00:44:43They eventually enter the supermarket, and A-chan is just tired now that they have finally reached their destination.
00:44:47The supermarket is huge and there are a lot of supplies in the warehouse.
00:44:51There are also no cameras in the area, so it looks like the baby doesn't have to worry about being spotted when using his powers.
00:44:58Then he notices that the old man brought a weapon rack with him.
00:45:01That's to be expected of a former Special Combat Division soldier, but now that they are in the supermarket,
00:45:06the man that's been guiding them this entire time has suddenly disappeared.
00:45:09There also doesn't seem to be any staff in the supermarket, so there's no way for them to buy or check out.
00:45:14As they are trying to figure out what they are supposed to do in the warehouse, they hear clapping coming from elsewhere in the building.
00:45:21They look forward and see the man from earlier smiling cheekily and tapping the boxes around him.
00:45:25Then he declares that everything in the store has already been purchased by his organization.
00:45:30The moment Kay dreads the most has finally come true.
00:45:32The person standing in front of him is none other than a member of the organization.
00:45:36Even Kay's dog doesn't like him as it starts barking furiously.
00:45:39The driver finally shows his true colors, confessing that he's only used all of them to gain access to the supermarket.
00:45:45Now that he's done with them, it's time to dispose of them like worthless trash.
00:45:50During his boastful monologue, Kay immediately spots a tattoo on the man's arm,
00:45:54which is a clear sign that he truly belongs to the organization.
00:45:57With darkness in his eyes, the man declares that the supermarket now belongs to the East Lotus Society,
00:46:02his voice filled with menace.
00:46:04His threat is especially aimed at the old military man.
00:46:07As he pulls a weapon from his pocket, he warns them not to move.
00:46:11The name of the society instantly catches Kay's attention.
00:46:13He realizes that this branch of the organization is anything but ordinary.
00:46:17They are a group of forerunners responsible for enforcing the hunting project.
00:46:21This group has already been spreading their crimes even before the calamity begins.
00:46:25That must be their reason for gathering supplies because they sense the coming disaster.
00:46:29Now Kay understands why he had a bad feeling about this man,
00:46:33something he sensed from his smug tone.
00:46:34But whoever this person is, Baby Kay is ready to take him down.
00:46:38Meanwhile, Lynn and the old man quickly grasp the gravity of the situation
00:46:42and notice the lackeys surrounding them.
00:46:44But the old man is prepared as he immediately scoops up a shovel and hurls it at the generator.
00:46:49It strikes with force, embedding into the machinery that could burst at any moment,
00:46:53and the sound of a potential explosion starts echoing through the area.
00:46:57The driver, however, remains standing calmly, something the old man doesn't miss.
00:47:01In the next moment, the man smirks and pulls out a remote to control the cart.
00:47:05The old man realizes the situation is slipping out of his control.
00:47:08He leaps to tackle the driver, but at the last second, he's thrown back by a stack of cartons.
00:47:13The next moment, the old man finds himself staring down the barrel of a gun.
00:47:17With a chuckle, the organization member remarks that he won't let a military veteran slip away so easily.
00:47:22He then warns him not to move.
00:47:23But unexpectedly, Lynn steps in, gun in hand, and warns the man to back away from the old man, or she'll shoot.
00:47:30She demands to know his motives.
00:47:32The man, clearly entertained, realizes just how spectacularly clueless she is for not having grasped the situation until now.
00:47:39He even asks if she'd still think he's innocent after he shoots her.
00:47:43Lynn, still living in her own cheerful bubble, offers to share the supplies like she's hosting a picnic.
00:47:48He actually laughs at her naivety, which is almost impressive.
00:47:51She's acting like she's the one calling the shots here.
00:47:54He then reminds her of the time he left the dog with her.
00:47:56Not out of kindness, of course, but because when he went to collect the money, the owner was already dead.
00:48:01So naturally, he figured he might as well get rid of the dog too.
00:48:05That's when she showed up, and he thought it'd be entertaining to see how she'd juggle a full-grown dog and a baby.
00:48:10Shockingly, things worked out back then.
00:48:12But now, with his gun ready, as he rejects the idea of sharing the supplies, there simply isn't enough to go around.
00:48:18The next moment, all his lackeys point their guns at them.
00:48:22The boss declares that weaklings like Lynn should die.
00:48:24This moment triggers a memory in Kay, when he was under the control of the organization, left with no choice but to eat rats just to sate his hunger.
00:48:33Back then, he was looked down upon just like this.
00:48:36He snaps out of his reverie when his dog gets ready to attack the goons.
00:48:39Kay immediately throws the slime at the generator, which causes blackout.
00:48:42The next moment, darkness swallows everything, and the boss shouts for everyone to stop shooting until they can find light.
00:48:49At the same time, the boss raises his gun.
00:48:52Seizing the opportunity, Kay activates his power and is about to punch him when the old man suddenly intervenes, kicking the boss instead.
00:48:59Both Kay and the old man look at each other in astonishment.
00:49:02Kay understands that it's his bad luck to be seen by the old man, who is part of the military.
00:49:07Eventually, they might consider him a monster, and there's a real chance he'll be turned into a research subject because of his powers.
00:49:13As expected, the old man is thinking along the same lines as he is wondering whether Kay is a monster.
00:49:18Just as he prepares to attack, the baby Kay immediately leaps and settles on an upper rack, right in the old man's blind spot.
00:49:25The old man switches on his flashlight.
00:49:27Kay had also planned to turn on the light, but he's wary of the old man.
00:49:30He scoffs, realizing he has no choice now but to take the old man down first.
00:49:34However, his plan is interrupted by a sudden noise that alerts everyone.
00:49:39People look up and spot a slime that distracts the entire group.
00:49:42With a smug smile, Kay takes his usual seat in a trolley and prepares to enjoy the show.
00:49:46To his astonishment, the slime transforms into a doppelganger of the old man.
00:49:51It attacks him, and soon everyone finds themselves fighting against their own clones.
00:49:55The old man, too, braces for battle against his double, cursing under his breath at this new disaster.
00:50:00Lynn is terrified to see her perfect clone standing right in front of her and pleads with it not to come any closer.
00:50:06Her voice draws the old man's attention.
00:50:08He glances back and sees Kay crying nearby while his clone tries to climb into the trolley.
00:50:13The old man assumes he must have seen this clone before.
00:50:15That means our little dude's plan is working perfectly as he's now shedding crocodile tears,
00:50:20just waiting for the old man to swoop in like a knight in shining armor.
00:50:23As expected, the old man immediately attacks the clone when it tries to reach Kay.
00:50:27However, he grows frustrated when the clone reforms itself effortlessly, thanks to its slime-like nature.
00:50:33Realizing brute force alone won't work, he hurls his shovel aside,
00:50:36deciding it's time to adopt a new strategy better suited to dealing with monsters like this.
00:50:41He opens his armory box and pulls out his gun.
00:50:43Meanwhile, Lynn manages to defeat her clone using an electric gun,
00:50:47because electricity being a known weakness of slime creatures.
00:50:50Kay also defeats his clone through a relentless barrage of attacks, another known weakness.
00:50:54In the end, the old man destroys his clone using raw firepower.
00:50:59But the battle isn't over yet.
00:51:00Another slime clone launches itself at Lynn, only for the old man to shoot it at the last moment.
00:51:05However, the creature is still alive, trying to refkirm.
00:51:08But the old man continues to fire, determined to finish it off.
00:51:12He may not have killed it completely, but he's definitely done some serious damage.
00:51:16But at the same time, the boss also gets back on his feet, ready to attack.
00:51:19Just as the old man remains occupied, fighting off the slime,
00:51:23Kay curses under his breath, while frustrated by the situation.
00:51:27He can't use his powers openly.
00:51:29Doing so could expose his secret.
00:51:31He's taken by surprise when the boss suddenly grabs him and takes him hostage,
00:51:34warning Lynn and the old man to drop their weapons.
00:51:37What the boss doesn't realize, however, is that he has just made things more convenient for our clever boy.
00:51:42Kay silently activates his slime power and takes control of one of the boss's lackeys.
00:51:46That lackey then unseals a grenade, and in the next moment, a massive explosion rocks the area.
00:51:52Though the boss survives the blast, he still has Kay in his grip.
00:51:55Kay, however, uses the chaos to his advantage as he spots a first-grade crystal core
00:52:00and quickly snatches it with his tail before anyone notices.
00:52:03The boss, badly shaken and nearly killed in the explosion,
00:52:07rushes into another room and slams the door shut behind him in a desperate bid to protect himself.
00:52:11Inside the room, several more goons are waiting.
00:52:14The boss declares that it's time to move and orders them to prepare the car as they're getting out of here.
00:52:19The goons immediately begin to comply.
00:52:21At that very moment, our boy notices another tattoo.
00:52:24This one etched into the side of the man's neck, revealing his name.
00:52:28Now everything becomes crystal clear to Kay.
00:52:30This person is none other than the true boss of the organization, Lai.
00:52:34He's the one who turned Kay's life into a living hell in his previous life.
00:52:37Back then, however, Lai always wore a mask, which is why Kay never got to see his face.
00:52:42Who would have thought he'd get the chance to witness it now, as a baby no less?
00:52:46Kay's baby glare is so intense that Lai actually feels it and even scolds him in annoyance.
00:52:51The next moment, a red mist begins to fill the air around them.
00:52:54This is called a crimson dust, which is a dangerous phenomenon in this catalyst-infested world,
00:52:59hazardous to any human being.
00:53:01Those who come into contact with it either die or mutate into monsters.
00:53:04That explains why, just moments later,
00:53:06several of Lai's lackeys begin to transform into grotesque beasts and charge toward them.
00:53:11But Lai, in his usual cruel fashion, decides to use Kay as monster bait.
00:53:16Without a second thought, he tosses the baby into the room with the creatures and flees the scene,
00:53:20leaving him behind.
00:53:22Kay, as usual, understands the plan well,
00:53:24but he's ready to unleash his true power even with a witness present.
00:53:28He pulls the core from his pocket and activates it.
00:53:30In the next moment, he transforms into a full-grown fighter, primed for battle.
00:53:35The overwhelming monster charges at him, but his tentacles intercept the attack without hesitation.
00:53:39Now fused with the crystal core, his abilities reach a new height,
00:53:43so enhanced that the monsters around him barely register as physical beings anymore.
00:53:48Another creature attempts a laser strike from its eye.
00:53:51Without flinching, Kay advances straight through the beam and pierces into the creature's body.
00:53:55He's almost amused by how easily he can control his body.
00:53:58His tentacles now move with deadly grace, slicing through the monsters like vegetables on a chopping board.
00:54:04Meanwhile, Lai watches the scene unfold with growing horror.
00:54:06However, confused and shaken, he fails to grasp Kay's identity,
00:54:10having missed the transformation from infant to warrior.
00:54:13One look at his pale face tells Kay everything.
00:54:15He knows Lai doesn't recognize him yet.
00:54:18That makes it all the more satisfying.
00:54:20Kay moves forward, his eyes dark with purpose.
00:54:22There's no hesitation now.
00:54:24The moment for revenge has finally come.
00:54:26Even terrified, Lai immediately prepares to defend himself.
00:54:29He pulls out his gun and fires at Kay.
00:54:31Fortunately, Kay is faster than the bullet itself.
00:54:34Though the body he's transformed into isn't his original, compared to his infant form,
00:54:39the speed and agility it offers are on another level entirely.
00:54:43As Kay closes the gap, just an inch away, Lai assumes he must be a monster.
00:54:47But our boy doesn't give him the chance to speak.
00:54:49In one swift motion, he hurls Lai across the room and slams him into a corner.
00:54:53Now coughing up blood, Lai mumbles something about a story he once heard from someone,
00:54:58but now sees was true.
00:55:00Kay briefly wonders who that person could be,
00:55:01but he doesn't have time to dwell on it.
00:55:04Lai suddenly pulls out a syringe and injects himself with a strange drug.
00:55:08Within moments, his body begins to shift grotesquely,
00:55:10morphing into a monstrous form.
00:55:12Watching the transformation,
00:55:14Kay immediately realizes the truth that long before the Great Catalyst,
00:55:18the organization had already been experimenting with this drug.
00:55:21A formula designed to turn humans into monsters,
00:55:23without stripping away their sanity.
00:55:25As the monster grows, Kay is visibly terrified.
00:55:28It lunges at him immediately,
00:55:29and though he barely manages to block the attack,
00:55:32he quickly retaliates with his tentacles.
00:55:34But from that single clash,
00:55:35he realizes his opponent is no ordinary threat.
00:55:38The monster continues its relentless assault,
00:55:41striking at him with silver tentacles,
00:55:42which Kay narrowly dodges.
00:55:44Just by observing its movements,
00:55:46Kay understands this creature was meant to trap him from the very start.
00:55:49A chill runs down his spine as he recognizes it
00:55:52that this is the same monster that killed him in his past life.
00:55:55But this time, he's not the same person.
00:55:56He's not that helpless version of himself anymore,
00:55:59and he has no intention of dying to the same beast again.
00:56:02With renewed determination,
00:56:04he evades each attack with sharp focus and defiant energy.
00:56:07Then suddenly, a powerful explosion erupts against the monster.
00:56:10As the dust settles,
00:56:12Kay sees the old military man reloading his guns with bullet,
00:56:15which he has stolen from the East Lotus Society.
00:56:17The irony isn't lost on him.
00:56:19The old man is using the bad guy's weapons for a good cause.
00:56:22Meanwhile, Kay tries to process the sudden shift in the battle.
00:56:25The old man is targeting the giant-eyes monster,
00:56:27which is apparently Lai,
00:56:29still disguised in his monstrous form.
00:56:31Watching the tides turn,
00:56:32Kay can't help but grin widely.
00:56:34The game is changing,
00:56:35and this time, it's in his favor.
00:56:37Lai remembers the time he joins the organization,
00:56:40when one of its representatives lures him in
00:56:41by warning about an impending catastrophe in the world.
00:56:44She makes it sound like joining the organization
00:56:46is the only way for him to survive.
00:56:48Then she hands him a drug as a gift for joining,
00:56:51while adding that it can help him uncover his true nature.
00:56:53At the time, as he looks at the medicine,
00:56:56he isn't convinced by her words.
00:56:58He thinks he already knows his true nature well enough.
00:57:00But once he takes the injection and awakens his monstrous side,
00:57:04he becomes convinced that she was telling the truth,
00:57:06because he is born into a monster that thrives on exploiting other people's weaknesses.
00:57:11For example, when he is just a kid,
00:57:13he tells a fat lady that her husband is cheating on her.
00:57:15When she gets angry,
00:57:16he adds as proof that he heard her husband calling her an ugly sleeping piggy a little while ago.
00:57:20The woman, who might be already insecure about her figure,
00:57:23immediately believes him and becomes furious with her husband.
00:57:26After getting hit, the husband decides to divorce her.
00:57:29When he leaves, she is devastated by her own perceived ugliness.
00:57:33And like a guardian angel,
00:57:34Lai lures her into his trap by promising to introduce her to people who definitely won't bully her.
00:57:39This is how he exploits people's hearts,
00:57:41by gaining their trust, then draining them later.
00:57:44His scamming nature has turned him into a con artist,
00:57:46a monster in human skin.
00:57:48That's why he is now born as a level 4 monster,
00:57:51trickster Lai.
00:57:52Up until now,
00:57:53the monster our boy witnesses is just hallucinations.
00:57:56He sees the monster that killed him in his past life,
00:57:58and is scared to death by Lai's trickery.
00:58:01Meanwhile,
00:58:01Lai decides not to waste his energy,
00:58:03and waits for the right moment to strike back and win in the end.
00:58:07Suddenly, he is struck by a bullet,
00:58:08and startles to see the old man ready to fight him again.
00:58:11He is frustrated by the old man's long life,
00:58:13and immediately attacks him.
00:58:15But the old man stays hidden, launching attacks without revealing himself.
00:58:19Lai attacks again, but his strike is met with a series of explosions.
00:58:23The clash creates a large amount of smoke and dust,
00:58:25making it hard for him to see anything clearly.
00:58:27Taking advantage of the situation,
00:58:29K moves into his blind spot from behind.
00:58:31When K attacks,
00:58:33Lai curses loudly,
00:58:34furious that he has snapped out of the hallucination so quickly.
00:58:37K steps forward and declares that Lai is nothing more than a level 4 con man who can never be anything special.
00:58:42With that, he attacks Lai with his tentacles,
00:58:45making Lai curse those tentacles.
00:58:47In the next moment,
00:58:48Lai tries to create an illusion around K,
00:58:51but this time it doesn't work.
00:58:53He is frustrated by the failure of his skill.
00:58:55K remembers the time he tasted death in his past life because of the hallucination.
00:58:59While silently thanking Lai,
00:59:01he unleashes his full power.
00:59:02Lai is scared as K with lightning speed hurls himself toward him.
00:59:06Lai is bleeding profusely after being attacked by K.
00:59:09K then asks him calmly if he is done.
00:59:11But inside, he knows this is only the beginning.
00:59:14In two hours, another wave of crimson dust will hit.
00:59:17It will be nothing like what humanity has faced before.
00:59:20This will be a deformed tide that breaks hell open.
00:59:22As he prepares to finish Lai,
00:59:24Lai tries to stop him.
00:59:25K responds that he's not interested in his last words and is determined to end him.
00:59:29Meanwhile, the old man is also watching the scene unfold.
00:59:32K understands that Lai is a tough opponent who still wants to fight despite all his injuries.
00:59:36So, it's better to finish him off by going straight for his neck.
00:59:39Just as he's about to strike, he is hit by an illusion.
00:59:43His mother appears, pleading with him, asking if he's going to kill her too.
00:59:47He hesitates for a moment, and that moment costs him dearly as he is hit by a series of explosions.
00:59:52Taking advantage of the opening, Lai attacks again, and K barely manages to dodge.
00:59:56As K gets back on his feet, Lai declares that no matter what, K won't be able to kill him.
01:00:01He can now clearly read K's thoughts and predict his every move.
01:00:05Lai knows that K has only one attack left in him.
01:00:07At that, our dude considers leaving Lai to the old man.
01:00:10At the same time, like reading his thought, Lai dodges a bullet fired by the old man and mocks him,
01:00:16asking if he plans to just stand there like always.
01:00:18K curses under his breath, realizing too late that normal weapons don't work against a level 4 monster.
01:00:23Lai, growing overconfident, believes he can see through the old man's tactics.
01:00:28With a menacing laugh and a declaration that he is a divine being,
01:00:32Lai heads toward the place where the old man is hiding.
01:00:35But as soon as he reaches the spot, a grenade planted by the old man explodes the moment Lai steps in.
01:00:40Seeing Lai injured, K compliments the old man's sharp instincts.
01:00:44Then he wonders where the old man has gone.
01:00:46As if in response, the old man appears behind Lai and is about to attack,
01:00:50but Lai dodges at the last moment.
01:00:52Lai prepares to counterattack.
01:00:53But K calls out his name to distract him.
01:00:56The sudden interruption startles Lai.
01:00:58Grinning, Lai asks K if he wants to know about his future.
01:01:01While he is momentarily distracted, the old man shoots him.
01:01:04Suddenly, a vision penetrates Lai's mind as he sees himself dealing with weaklings,
01:01:09people who are beneath him.
01:01:10K is showing Lai a future where he is always the loser, always useless in the end.
01:01:15K tells him that this is his fate.
01:01:17Furious, Lai grabs his head and denies the claim.
01:01:20Another vision flashes that he's bowing before others in a pathetic stance.
01:01:23He refuses to accept this future.
01:01:25Enraged, he lashes out wildly, but in the end, ends up injuring himself.
01:01:30The next moment, they all stare in disbelief as Lai has cut off his own head.
01:01:34Watching the scene unfold, K grins.
01:01:35He has finally fooled the greatest conman of all.
01:01:39As Lai's head flies from his body, he once again glimpses K's memories.
01:01:42His eyes widen in fear as he sees the monster standing before him.
01:01:46The next moment, his severed head hits the ground, and he screams for K to get out of
01:01:50his mind.
01:01:50He yells at K, declaring that this is what the warning about the baby truly meant.
01:01:55The old man glances at K, his attention peaked.
01:01:58Lai continues, his voice strained that K is the egg of calamity, startling both K and
01:02:03the old man.
01:02:04Lai warns that by starting this revolution, K has forfeited any chance at a normal life.
01:02:09From now on, the organization will hunt him relentlessly.
01:02:12Before he can reveal more, another gunshot rings out and Lai is silenced by a bullet.
01:02:16K and the old man turn quickly toward the source.
01:02:19A new figure steps out from his jeep, calmly explaining that if one doesn't kill their
01:02:23enemy in time, they will become their own enemy.
01:02:25The moment K realizes the man is from the military, he goes on high alert.
01:02:29The newcomer calls the old man, Teacher, crediting him for the very lesson he just spoke.
01:02:34His name is Captain Lai On, but he is more famously known as the Snow Wolf.
01:02:38Before the student and teacher exchange greetings, another monster comes up behind Lai On.
01:02:43Without even flinching or moving, he kills the monster.
01:02:46Our guy, who is watching from behind the box, is astonished to see it.
01:02:49At that moment, the old man asks Lai On to be there on purpose because he intends to
01:02:53go home and look after his grandchild.
01:02:55While taking out his phone, Lai On pleads with his teacher to return to headquarters,
01:03:00as they are in a state of emergency.
01:03:02He then shows him a picture of his granddaughter, who is safe and sound.
01:03:05He reminds him that the military needs their commander.
01:03:08While listening to this, K immediately realizes that this old man is none other than the top
01:03:13commander of the military.
01:03:14Then Lai On asks the old man whether he wants to confirm his granddaughter's safety.
01:03:18The old man agrees to go with him.
01:03:20Meanwhile, K is scared and unsure of what to do.
01:03:23When he moves, it draws their attention.
01:03:24Before a moment passes, Lai On is already on him, gun pointed.
01:03:29Fortunately, K has already transformed into his baby form.
01:03:32Lai On suspiciously asks whether he is the monster he saw a little while ago.
01:03:36K, meanwhile, is scared to death, wondering if Lai On is going to shoot him.
01:03:40But the old man steps in, informing his student that he is the one who placed K there.
01:03:44While scooping him into his arms, he whispers to K to keep pretending.
01:03:48With that, K starts crying like a baby, which he literally is.
01:03:51Lai On comments on how well he goes with the baby.
01:03:54Suddenly, our boy senses a strange aura coming from Lai On and looks at him closely.
01:03:59In that moment, he wonders whether he has seen him before in the organization.
01:04:03Later, K is placed in the nursery with the other babies.
01:04:06When the nurse places him in the crib, Lai On tells her to go back, and she complies without
01:04:10question.
01:04:11While pretending to sleep, K listens to all of this and wonders about the whereabouts of the
01:04:16old man.
01:04:16He also wonders about the place he's in.
01:04:18Suddenly, a baby starts to cry, drawing Lai On's attention.
01:04:21At first, he smoothly comments on the baby's energy and asks him to be quiet, but then
01:04:26his tone shifts as he uses his skill to make the baby fall asleep.
01:04:30Meanwhile, our boy is witnessing all of this, eyes wide in horror.
01:04:34He remembers that Lai On is quite an important figure in the organization, with the codename
01:04:38Tank.
01:04:39Not only that, he possesses a very rare and formidable ability in which he can exploit and
01:04:43explode the blood in anyone's body at will.
01:04:45He knows that Lai On has used his skill on the baby, which causes oxygen deprivation,
01:04:51making the baby unconscious rather than fall asleep naturally.
01:04:54He is someone K knows he must be cautious of, especially after his earlier attempt to
01:04:58kill him.
01:04:59Now Lai On is moving toward our baby.
01:05:01Meanwhile, K is thinking about his own abilities, which he has awakened too early, considering
01:05:06the organization has only just started.
01:05:08He wonders whether he is already one of the compatible few to awaken his powers before the
01:05:13end times.
01:05:13At that moment, Lai On decides to inspect K and tells him to be quiet.
01:05:17K holds his breath the entire time.
01:05:19As soon as Lai On moves away, K lets out a sigh of relief.
01:05:23Before leaving, Lai On comments on how fun it is.
01:05:26As he leaves, K glances around to make sure he's really gone.
01:05:29Then he immediately jumps to his feet.
01:05:31He recalls Lai, a con artist, someone who can manipulate minds.
01:05:35K has abilities like god-level absorption, which create a barrier in his mind to protect
01:05:39his thoughts from Lai.
01:05:40Now, to protect himself against Lai On, he tunes his blood flow, slows it down, and allows
01:05:46the fake blood to be automatically absorbed.
01:05:48After observing it, he looks around at the other kids and wonders whether they are also
01:05:52the calamity eggs.
01:05:53It's not like he isn't familiar with the term.
01:05:56He has heard it in his past life.
01:05:58But due to his lower status back then, he never had access to that kind of information.
01:06:02Still, he believes Lai On must know something about it.
01:06:05He then analyzes the situation with the military, which was eliminated in his past life by the
01:06:10organization.
01:06:11His thoughts drift to the old man, who clearly doesn't trust Lai On, since he wanted to personally
01:06:16check on his grandchild.
01:06:17He also wonders about the inspection Lai On performed on him.
01:06:21There are too many thoughts swirling in his mind.
01:06:23Then he remembers his mother and his dog, but he quickly jerks those thoughts away.
01:06:27He's not in a situation where he can think about others.
01:06:30Right now, all he needs to focus on is his escape plan.
01:06:32He tries to open the door with his ability, but he can't use it.
01:06:36He remembers the crystal core he obtained earlier, which he used to fuse the ability
01:06:40called Dark Shadow.
01:06:41But during the fusion process, he can't use many of his abilities.
01:06:45Currently, he can only use Dark Shadow and God Barrier.
01:06:48The latter helps him resist mental attacks.
01:06:51But Dark Shadow is too powerful and risky to use in his current situation.
01:06:55So, he decides to wait and understand the intentions of those around him before using
01:06:59his powers and risking exposure.
01:07:01So far, pretending to be just a baby has worked well for him.
01:07:04Suddenly, he notices something emerging from another crib.
01:07:07He looks down at another baby, whose legs are turning into tree branches.
01:07:11So, this baby must be another compatible one like him.
01:07:14Then, he notices several other babies with different kinds of abilities.
01:07:18He remembers, in his past life, these babies were always locked away.
01:07:22Now he understands that they are all placed somewhere similar to where he is now.
01:07:26Suddenly, a tree vine scoops him up.
01:07:27When he tries to break free, he can't.
01:07:30He wonders for a moment whether he should use his abilities now or not.
01:07:34But his thoughts are interrupted by another boy who helps him break free.
01:07:37It turns out to be a little boy who advises him to just pretend to sleep.
01:07:41So now, he should just behave.
01:07:43Kay is taken aback to see that the boy is just five years old and has already mastered his abilities.
01:07:48Suddenly, he curses under his breath as he hears a sound behind him.
01:07:51The boy immediately escapes, disappearing from sight.
01:07:54Kay turns to see nurses entering the room for inspection, and he quickly pretends to be asleep on the floor.
01:08:00The head nurse instructs everyone to gather every baby.
01:08:02One of them notices him lying there and scoops him up as well.
01:08:05As all this unfolds, Kay wonders what's really going on here, and what they plan to do with him.
01:08:10After a while, the nurses place all the babies on the floor.
01:08:13He slightly opens his eyes and sees nothing but darkness surrounding them.
01:08:17A chilling thought crosses his mind that are they going to be made to fight to the death?
01:08:21It wouldn't be surprising, as this was a trend in the organization during his past life.
01:08:26He also senses the presence of someone from the organization nearby.
01:08:29Slowly, he begins to crawl as other babies also start getting up.
01:08:33When he looks up, he spots Lai On on the upper floor.
01:08:36Before he can process anything else, he sees a monster moving toward a baby.
01:08:40At first, he guesses that these babies are going to be prey for the monster,
01:08:43as he remembers there were no babies in his past life.
01:08:46Then he notices that the monster is restrained by chains,
01:08:49but that doesn't mean they're safe now.
01:08:51He guesses the restraints are only temporary, and the monster is likely to be unleashed later.
01:08:56Everyone around him is also afraid to see it.
01:08:58The boy from before steps ahead, scoops the crying baby from the monster's vicinity,
01:09:02and places him far away.
01:09:04Looking around at the babies in Lai On,
01:09:06he now concludes that they've all been gathered here to fight the monster
01:09:09in order to forcefully awaken their abilities.
01:09:12The purpose of gathering these babies here must be the organization's plan known as the hunting dog plan.
01:09:17After Lai, the plan is entrusted to Lai On.
01:09:19At that moment, Lai On reveals he was just pretending in front of his teacher.
01:09:23Then, he politely asks everyone not to disappoint him and presses the button to start their test.
01:09:29With that, the restraints on the monster break down,
01:09:31and it rushes toward our boy but he barely manages to dodge it.
01:09:34In the process, his ear gets injured.
01:09:37He looks at the monster, which might be second grade.
01:09:39He's confident that he can take it down, but he's not so sure about the others.
01:09:43He looks around at the others, who are scared to death.
01:09:46One of the toddlers starts to cry, drawing the monster's attention.
01:09:50Now it's moving toward that baby.
01:09:51But the girl beside the toddler gets frightened,
01:09:54and with that, her tree branch ability activates.
01:09:57Several vines wrap around the monster.
01:09:59Kay gives the girl a thumbs up and hopes she can hold on.
01:10:02At that moment, Lai On also notices her ability, which is identified as a vine type.
01:10:06He compliments it, saying that it's a good one,
01:10:09especially considering it's only at the first grade level.
01:10:11His attention then shifts to our boy, who hasn't shown any abilities yet.
01:10:15Still, he's convinced Kay must be an ability user.
01:10:18In his mind, he believes Kay will definitely activate his powers once pushed into extreme conditions.
01:10:24With that, the monster breaks free from the vines and prepares to unleash its full power.
01:10:28Kay is startled to see the gravity of the situation unfolding before him.
