Chapter 1751: Genome Beta: Part-1
“Come on, Bitch~!”
Beta launched herself forward while the three rods began spinning at terrifying speed. Pink sparks erupted from their surfaces, illuminating the laboratory with flashes of pink light as they tore through the air toward him.
Just as the spinning rods were about to reach him,
Ssshhh~
A portal abruptly shimmered into existence between them.
Beta’s eyes widened behind her visor as the portal expanded and swallowed her before she could stop herself. The spinning rods vanished along with her, and the portal immediately collapsed into nothingness as though it had never existed.
Thud!
A moment later, Beta stumbled forward and landed on soft grass.
Her weapons gradually slowed as she regained her balance and surveyed her surroundings.
“Where the fuck am I?”
As far as she could see, there was nothing.
Endless fields of green stretched toward the horizon beneath a vast blue sky.
Gentle winds rolled across the grasslands, causing waves of emerald vegetation to sway peacefully under the sunless light.
There were no buildings, no laboratories, no machinery, no division members, and no signs of civilisation whatsoever.
“Just… what happened? Am I dead?”
She frowned beneath her helmet.
The scenery resembled every depiction of the afterlife she had ever heard.
Endless green fields. Complete silence. No signs of civilisation.
No danger or suffering.
It felt… peaceful.
Far too peaceful.
Then her visor suddenly erupted with cascading notifications, bringing her back to reality,

Beta remained perfectly still.
“So… I’m definitely not dead.”
Everything the suit reported indicated a perfectly habitable world.
“Replay the combat footage from exactly three seconds before communication was lost.”
[Command Accepted]
[Retrieving Combat Recording…]
[Timestamp Located]
[Playback Initiated]
A holographic recording materialised inside her visor.
Every movement replayed with frame-by-frame precision.
“…Pause.”
The recording froze instantly.
She enlarged the image before zooming in nearly four hundred percent.
A tiny golden-white portal had appeared less than thirty centimetres in front of Monster, only 0.17 seconds before impact.
“…Interesting.”
She rotated the hologram. “So… this is his ability.”
She closed the recording.
“Teleportation? Just like the President? Did he teleport me to his world or something?”
Her gaze slowly drifted toward the endless horizon.
“Deploy reconnaissance drone.”
[Reconnaissance Unit Deploying…]
Immediately, one of the metallic tendrils extending from behind her shimmered. Its outer shell separated into billions of microscopic nanomachines that rapidly reconfigured themselves before assembling into a compact reconnaissance quadcopter equipped with multispectral cameras, atmospheric sensors, and long-range transmitters.
Sssnnngg~
With a low hum, pink particles glowed all over its body, and the drone shot into the sky.
Its visual feed immediately synchronised with Beta’s visor, displaying a real-time 360-degree panoramic view alongside dozens of analytical windows.
Terrain mapping continuously updated as the drone climbed higher while she remained standing silently amidst the endless grasslands.
The drone continued ascending.
100 meters.
500 meters.
5 kilometers.
20 kilometers.
100 kilometers.
Yet there was still… nothing.
Only endless green.
No forests.
No rivers.
No mountains.
No oceans.
Even after reaching the upper atmosphere, the landscape remained identical in every direction.
“…Is this some abandoned Empire? I never heard of it.”
Her brows furrowed.
“There isn’t even a single tree.”
Nothing except an infinite ocean of emerald grass stretching beneath an impossibly blue sky.
Even the suit’s biological scanners failed to detect insects or birds.
The drone continued climbing.
200 kilometers.
450 kilometers.
780 kilometers.
1,000 kilometers.
The horizon expanded into a breathtaking space.
Still…
Nothing.
Beta narrowed her eyes.
“…Keep climbing.”
[Command Accepted]
Altitude:
1,025 km…
1,040 km…
1,050 km…
Suddenly, every warning indicator flashed crimson.

“What?”
The drone suddenly began shaking violently.
Its pink propulsion rings flickered uncontrollably as if invisible hands were tearing apart its internal systems.
Then…
Far beyond the northern horizon…
Something glowed.
A tiny white light.
It lasted for less than half a second before vanishing.
Beta immediately locked onto its recorded coordinates.
“Mark that location.”
[Coordinates Recorded]

The drone’s warnings intensified.

3…
2…
1…
THUD!
The ruined quadcopter crashed into the grass several kilometres away.
Instead of breaking apart like ordinary machinery, its entire body lost structural integrity.
The metallic frame dissolved into billions of loose nanoscopic particles, scattering across the ground like pink-black sand.
Tiny pink lights flickered, resembling countless dying fireflies before each light extinguished one after another until nothing remained except ordinary dust.
Beta stared silently at the final transmission.
“…Something interfered.”
Without another word, circular ports beneath both boots rotated open.
Mechanical locks disengaged.
Pink concentric rings formed beneath her feet.
Fwoooom!!
High-density energy thrusters erupted downward, generating expanding circular shockwaves of pink energy that flattened the surrounding grass in every direction.
Her body rose smoothly several meters into the air.
[Flight System Activated]
[Vector Thrusters: ONLINE]
[Maximum Cruise Velocity: 500 km/h]
[Destination Locked]
She tilted forward.
Then accelerated.
BOOM!!
A ring of compressed air exploded behind her as she shot across the endless plains like a pink comet, leaving a glowing trail stretching toward the horizon.
She didn’t know what existed at those coordinates.
But the drone hadn’t simply been destroyed.
That meant one thing.
There was something here.
And that was enough.
***
Hours passed.
The endless grasslands never changed.
The sky remained perfectly blue.
No clouds.
No wildlife.
No terrain variation.
Nothing.
Only green.
“It’s been almost twelve hours…”
Her voice carried a trace of confusion.
The thrusters continued releasing waves of pink particles while maintaining a constant cruising velocity of exactly five hundred kilometres per hour.
Beta frowned.
“… This doesn’t make sense.”
According to the drone’s telemetry, the mysterious white light had appeared approximately 3,430 kilometres away.
At her current velocity, she should have reached those coordinates nearly six hours earlier.
Yet despite travelling almost six thousand kilometers…
There was still nothing.
No white light.
Only endless emerald grass extending beyond every horizon.
She immediately reopened the drone’s final telemetry log.
The coordinates were identical.
The calculations were correct.
The navigation system confirmed her position.
Yet reality completely contradicted every calculation.
For the first time since arriving in this world…
A faint chill ran down her spine.
“…Either my navigation system is wrong…”
She looked toward the endless horizon.
“…or this world’s geometry isn’t.”
Her suit’s internal power reserve had gradually fallen to just over 60% after nearly twelve hours of continuous flight.
[Power Management System]
[Energy Reserve: 60.27%[
Beta instinctively looked toward the sky once again.
Nothing had changed.
The endless blue remained exactly as it had been since she first arrived in this strange world. There was no visible sun hanging overhead, yet the surroundings remained brightly illuminated. There were no clouds drifting across the heavens, no shifting shadows beneath her feet, and… no indication that time itself was progressing.
It was as though the concept of day and night simply did not exist here.
“I can’t afford to waste my suit’s power now,” she muttered quietly while staring at the motionless sky. “I’m stranded in an unknown world, and I have no idea what might be hiding out here.”
She had crossed thousands of kilometres without encountering a single living creature, but that did not reassure her in the slightest. If anything, the complete absence of life only made this place feel even more dangerous.
Every instinct she had developed as a Division Governor warned her that something about this world was fundamentally wrong.
Another possibility quietly surfaced in her mind.
“…Could this be one of Hell’s Gates?”
The thought wasn’t completely unreasonable.
The Division had investigated numerous dimensional anomalies over the years.
Although this world lacked the overwhelming monsters normally associated with Hell’s Gates, she refused to lower her guard simply because it appeared empty.
Beta gradually reduced the output of her thrusters before descending toward the endless field below. Circular waves of pink plasma slowly faded beneath her boots as they gently touched the grass, and the energy humming throughout her armour became noticeably quieter.
She released a slow breath before lowering herself onto the soft grass.
As soon as she sat down, dozens of microscopic vents hidden throughout the mech suit automatically opened. Warm air escaped from the armour as the internal cooling system rapidly reduced the operating temperature of the thruster assemblies.
“What exactly is happening here…?” she mumbled under her breath.
Grrrrlll…
The loud growl from her stomach echoed inside the helmet.
Beta frowned before clicking her tongue.
“…Supplements.”

Injecting…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Several microscopic needles quietly extended from the inner lining of the suit before painlessly piercing the skin around her waist and shoulder. A carefully balanced mixture of glucose, amino acids, electrolytes, vitamins, hydration compounds, and artificial satiety hormones entered her bloodstream in precisely calculated amounts.
Within seconds, the uncomfortable hunger disappeared completely.
The empty feeling inside her stomach gradually faded as her brain received chemical signals identical to those produced after eating a full meal. Although there was no actual food inside her body, the suit successfully tricked her nervous system into believing she had just finished a large feast.

“…Still better than those awful breads.”
She chuckled softly before rubbing her stomach.
The sensation felt surprisingly convincing.
Leaning backwards, she rested against the endless field of grass while continuing to stare at the unmoving blue sky above. No matter how long she observed it, nothing changed.
“Maximum alert,” she ordered calmly.
The metallic tendrils extending from behind her immediately rose into the air. Their segmented bodies swayed slowly from side to side like vigilant serpents while miniature optical lenses continuously rotated in every direction.
Satisfied with the security measures, Beta finally closed her eyes.
The visor gradually darkened until it completely blocked the endless daylight, while the armour adjusted its internal temperature to a comfortable resting level.
Several hours quietly slipped by before she slowly opened her eyes once again.

[Nutritional Delivery Complete]
She silently administered another nutrient supplement before standing up once more.
This time, rather than wasting power, she switched the mech suit into Assisted Walking Mode. Nano servomotors inside the armour synchronised with every movement of her muscles, dramatically reducing physical fatigue while allowing her to continue travelling with minimal energy consumption.
Hour after hour passed as she walked across the endless sea of emerald grass.
The scenery never changed.
The wind never changed.
The brightness of the sky never changed.
Every direction looked exactly the same, making it impossible to distinguish whether she was actually making progress or simply wandering through an endless illusion.
Another twelve hours eventually passed.
Beta finally came to a stop.
Her shoulders slowly dropped as she stared blankly toward the horizon.
“…You’ve got to be kidding me.”
She clenched both fists so tightly that the armoured gloves produced faint metallic creaks.
“Fuck…”
Her breathing grew heavier.
“Fuck!”
The frustration she had been suppressing for nearly two days finally exploded.
“FUCK!!”
She violently kicked the ground with enough force to scatter dirt and grass several meters away.
It was only then that something unusual caught her attention.
Scattered across the grass in front of her was a small patch of familiar pink-and-black metallic sand.
“…”
She slowly crouched down before picking up a handful of the tiny particles.
Her pupils contracted.
“No…”
A wave of disbelief washed across her face as the horrifying truth finally settled in.
She had spent nearly two entire days travelling thousands of kilometres… in circles?
Thud!
The strength instantly left her legs as she collapsed onto both knees, staring blankly at the handful of dead nanomachines resting in her trembling palm.
“What… what kind of nightmare is this…?”
