Reborn With the Infinite Gods System

Mass release In honour to the support {22/10}

The weight of the mission lay heavy on their shoulders, its foreboding presence pressing down on them like the crushing jaws of an unseen predator. Each breath in the room felt sharp, as if the very air was laced with danger. The briefing chamber, bathed in dim light, held a silence so thick it suffocated.

Outside the room, the stars blinked coldly, indifferent to the fate of those about to embark on this perilous journey.

Seo Jihnyuk stood at the head of the table, papers rustling faintly in his hands. He cleared his throat, his voice steady but carrying an undercurrent of unease. "Let me begin by summarizing what we have accomplished so far."

He glanced at the papers, though everyone knew Seo had memorized every detail. His eyes scanned the room as he spoke, perhaps gauging their reactions, or maybe preparing them for the gravity of what he was about to say. "Our experiments with human portals have succeeded. The United States has played a crucial role in supporting these efforts.

The first successful test of this technology took place outside of Earth."

A few murmurs of approval echoed across the room, but they were quickly silenced when Seo continued. "We sent a team to a desert-like planet. A barren wasteland, with only sporadic oases dotting the landscape."

The mention of another planet immediately captured everyone's attention. Even in their line of work, travel between planets—let alone entire dimensions—was rare and incredibly dangerous. Some of the hunters exchanged uneasy glances, while others stared intently at Seo, trying to glean more details from his expression.

"The United States' excavation guild ensured that the entire planet was scouted. No oceans, no rivers—just endless dunes of golden sand and beasts far more deadly than anything we've encountered on Earth."

Seo let the words hang in the air, the tension palpable. "The flora and fauna there are unlike anything we know. The animals… they are unlike our own. Their biology is twisted, mutated. They're capable of tearing through reinforced steel and can emit concentrated energy beams from their mouths. Savage...

relentless."

The silence that followed was deafening, everyone picturing the alien predators lurking in the shadows of that forsaken world. Seo paused, his eyes scanning each face in the room. Their expressions ranged from mild unease to outright fear. No one moved. No one dared speak.

"Commander Asher," Seo turned to the man sitting on his left, "you were on this mission. Perhaps you can shed more light on what we are dealing with."

Commander Asher rose from his seat, his movements slow, deliberate. He was an imposing figure, his military uniform spotless, though his eyes held the distant look of someone who had seen too much. He was a man who knew danger intimately, and it had left its mark on him.

"Rika Zero," he began, his voice low and gravelly, "is the name we gave that hellish place. It's not just a potential haven for the rich to flee to if things go bad on Earth. It's a place that will test your every instinct, challenge your every breath."

He took a step forward, as if the act of speaking about the planet required him to be closer to his audience. "The creatures there... they don't think like us. They don't reason or hesitate. They're pure instinct, designed to kill. And we learned, at great cost, that they are powered by something more than just their biology."

His gaze drifted over the room, locking eyes with each person, sending chills down their spines. "We discovered something inside them, something we've named 'Beast Gems.' They're the core of their power, the source of their lethal abilities. We extracted them from the carcasses of the creatures we killed and brought them back here."

Asher paused, letting the revelation sink in. "We've begun crafting weapons from these Beast Gems. And let me tell you... those weapons could turn the weakest hunter into a force to be reckoned with."

A palpable wave of anticipation rippled through the room. Williams, ever eager for power, leaned forward, his voice dripping with greed. "So... these weapons, they'll be part of the rewards for completing the mission?"

Asher gave a slow nod, his expression unreadable. "Among other things."

The hunters, even those who had been reluctant, now felt a flicker of hope, an ember of greed. But it was quickly snuffed out when Asher spoke again. "But don't get too excited. These weapons are not for just anyone. They require skill to wield, and the wrong hands could turn them into instruments of destruction."

A heavy silence followed. The room felt colder now, as if the very mention of the Beast Gems had drawn something dark into their midst. Seo Jihnyuk, sensing the growing tension, reclaimed the floor.

"We have everything prepared for the mission—spaceships, provisions grown on Rika Zero, and the finest scientists the world has to offer. The only thing left is you," he said, his gaze sweeping over the hunters. "You will represent Kyota in this operation, and I have high expectations."

The room fell into a hush once more. The weight of responsibility hung over them like a dark cloud. Loki, sitting in the back, felt an unease settle deep in his chest. This mission—there was something about it that didn't sit right. He could feel it in his bones.

Williams broke the silence again, his skepticism clear. "And what about the fact that we lost a dozen S-Ranks in the last Metorion attack? Kyota is weak, the SS-Ranks are missing, and we're sending our best hunters off-world? What happens if something goes wrong here? What if Earth is attacked while we're away?"

The question hung in the air like a blade ready to drop. For the first time, the possibility of failure, of death, seemed more real than ever.

Rudeus, the newly appointed representative of Hendricks, cleared his throat, drawing all eyes to him. "That's why we have the support of all other nations. Kyota's defense will be handled by allied forces while we're away. The president has signed off on it."

The unease in the room didn't dissipate. If anything, it intensified. Handing over their city's defense to other nations? It was a risky gamble, one that could have dire consequences.

Axel's mind raced. Sending their top hunters on a mission where death seemed almost inevitable while leaving their home vulnerable—it was too much of a risk. A part of him knew they had no choice. If this mission succeeded, it could bring them closer to ending the war that had plagued their world for too long. But at what cost?

Seo stepped forward once more, his voice taking on a darker tone. "You have one day to prepare before you depart. This is not a vacation. Rika Zero is a hostile world, and any mistake could cost you your life."

His gaze hardened, and the weight of his words pressed on them like a cold hand squeezing their hearts. "Prepare yourselves... because in order to live, you must first be prepared to die."

***Author's note***

Seems they are going to space. To Rika Zero and if you have any idea of alien plotline and stuff please comment. I believe some of your ideas can become gold in this aspect to me.
