Liberators

Chapter 5 - Liberator, Lower Section

'Ding!'

After a while, the elevator door opened. Indicates a circular room with fairly dim lighting.

In the middle of the room was another floor below this room. And Axel could see it through the thick glass that surrounded the center of this circular room.

"Say. Would you trade your whole life for power?" Eva asked suddenly.

Around the two of them, several people in the same uniform as the one worn by Eva seemed to start stopping their work.

The sight of about 6 more people was fixed on the two of them.

"What do you mean by that?"

Axel became more confused.

Changing lives with power? Is there such a thing? After all, hadn't humans evolved enough with the power of this Flux?

But unfortunately, that is just the outermost part of the actual Flux app. The rest, is something that is never known at all not only by Axel. Except 99% more population than the earth nobody knows.

The reason why all the countries in the world are competing to harvest Flux energy from other dimensions is not for energy sources or electricity.

No. gabe. That's not. If they only need electricity, 0.2% of the Flux they have taken so far has been enough to meet the energy needs of mankind for the next 1 century.

So, what's the rest for?

Of course, the answer is for the military.

A Liberator is an organization formed with the consent of all countries in the world to strengthen humanity for threats that may arise from behind that dimension.

But unfortunately, humans are a little late. Or rather, the threat came earlier than they had predicted.

The outcome?

Eva appears to be releasing her sword as well as her uniform. Shows the part of his back that has been fitted with an engine. Like a skeleton on the outside of a body made of special metal.

In the middle of it all, there was a hexagon with a fairly bright white light.

"Flux Augmentation's. By modifying the human body with this, they would gain strength far beyond their normal limits.

Of course, this technology is still too young and still carried out further research. But for starters, you will only live about 3 years after installing this tool. And in exchange, you'll be a very strong fighter." Eva is quite long.

After finishing that explanation, Eva again put on her upper uniform.

His sword, which was previously attached to nowhere, was known to be bound to the Flux energy on his back like a magnet.

Axel, on the other hand could only fall silent.

He did not expect that there was such a reality behind the knowledge of the general public like himself.

"So how? If you accept it, the Liberator will keep your brother safe forever." Ask Eva again.

"If not?" Axel asked with a sharp look.

"If not, I'm sorry. But you two will be given red uniforms as a volunteer force to expand this fort."

'Sreet!!!'

Axel clenched both his hands. In his heart, he was eager to punch the face of the woman standing before him.

'Making volunteer forces for expansion? So that's them?! The old woman I saw dead before, was it them?! Volunteer army?! Isn't that a suicide squad?!' Shouted Axel in his heart.

He resented the fact that this safe fortress discriminated this much.

'What is it that helps humanity?! Isn't this, just forced slavery?!'

Seeing Axel's hardened face, Eva understood what was in her mind.

After all, he had also been in the position of Axel before. So he could understand everything the young man was thinking.

"I understand what you're thinking. But you need to know, the resources in this fortress are very limited. It is not about energy, but food. That's the importance of the expansion forces, to acquire new territory for the sake of...."

Before Eva could finish her words, Axel interrupted her immediately.

"I already know what you want to say. In other words, I have no choice, right?" Ask Axel.

Eva could only widen her eyes. In her heart, of course, Eva wanted to say it. But isn't that too cruel?

Fortunately, someone represented it.

"You're right. You have absolutely no choice if you want to live in this place. But take it easy, your sacrifice will be precious to the future of mankind." Reply to a man who looks still at the age of 20 years.

The man even had a slightly shorter body than Axel. Like a boy who is still in high school.

"alright. Then I'll take it."

"The right choice. Know it? I can also provide a comfortable residence for my mother in this fortress forever, and that is more than enough for me. Even if I'm gonna die in a minute." Reply The brown-haired man while immediately pressing a few buttons on his computer.

After a while, a thick glass door opened.

Eva, on the other hand, led Axel to walk down the stairs behind the glass door.

"You sure? I have absolutely no intention of forcing you even if I wish you could join." Eva said as she walked in front of Axel.

Right in the middle of the bottom floor of this military facility, there is an operating table made of steel.

Beside him, some very complicated equipment and dozens of wires were seen lying on the floor.

And of course, the main ingredient of this is 2 large tubes that contain more than 2 kg of Flux. Where 1 gram is enough to supply the energy of a city.

Two other people were seen walking behind Axel. One of them was a woman with a face that looked so exhausted. While the other one is a man with a face that looks a little lazy.

The two were medical experts who also joined the Liberator forces for their families. And their current task, was to make modifications to Axel's body.

"The woman's name is Leona. The man was named Frans. Both of them will take care of you after this." Eva to Axel.

Without waiting any longer, Leona immediately ordered Axel.

"Take off your clothes and lie there, face down." Said the woman in a voice so limp.

Axel complied immediately.

Meanwhile, the previously spotted man began dragging some equipment in a small stroller.

Eva herself was just standing next to this room. See this operation process take place.

Meanwhile, Leona is seen tying both Axel's arms and legs with iron restraints. Likewise with his neck and waist so that Axel could not move at all.

Including laying various cables on Axel's body to observe his entire vital condition.

"I'm gonna inject you with a sedative. Even so, you will still feel tremendous pain. Hold on that long." Said the man while injecting some dope in the back of Axel.

His sight began to blur. His consciousness began to disappear. At this time, Axel felt a drowsiness that was so extraordinary that it made him feel like falling asleep.

However, all that momentary comfort soon disappeared. Right after Leona dissected the back and fiddled with Axel's spine.

"Kuaagghhhhh!!!"

Axel shouted very loudly. The pain he felt was so overwhelming that an anesthetic with a very extreme dose just now had no effect at all.

His body was struggling in pain. But thanks to the iron restraints on all parts of his body, Axel was unable to move freely. He could only scream to express his pain.

"Let's calm. You're a man, aren't you? I used to feel it too." Frans said while re-injecting some dope.

"It's done. Your turn." Leona.

"okay." Reply Frans.

Soon, Frans began installing various metals with synthetic materials mixed with Flux into Axel's body.

Or rather, on Axel's back.

"Amuuggh!!! Ahhhhhh!!!"

Axel himself can only continue to shout during this operation process runs.

Until finally, this greatest torment happened not when they dissected his body.

But when the entire physical modification was complete, and the time for the provision of Flux into Axel's body arrived.

A total of 4 kg of liquid Flux was flowed into Axel's body through a device with a hexagon shape on his back.

Little by little....

"Guaaagghhh!!!"

The pain he felt was much worse than the previous one. A burning and tearing feeling felt all over his body along with the flow of Flux fluid in his body.

"normal condition. Increase the speed of Flux flow into his body." Leona.

"Understand." Frans replies while pressing various buttons on the computer near the two large tubes.

The two continued to work while ignoring the cries of pain from Axel.

In the end....

All the torture ended after the surgery and the flow of Flux fluid in his body was completed. Right after 4 hours and 32 minutes.

What was left, was Axel who was now unconscious due to the immense pain.

Leona and Frans also began to move Axel's body into one of the fluid-filled tubes with a greenish color.

Letting her rest in it for over 2 weeks to recover her body that was still adapting when it gained contact with that extremely excessive Flux energy.

But behind all that....

The entire Liberator special force, numbering 14, had just seen something extraordinary.

"S Rank's.... Just like you, Oracle." Leona said while paying attention to all parameters on the main computer that showed the prediction of the ability of Axel.

Beside him, there was a woman with long black hair in the same uniform as the others. Except for a small S with a golden color on his left chest.

"good. This way my work is a little less, right?" Reply to a woman nicknamed the Oracle.
