Bright Villains (after battle)

Hey, isn't something off about this?

Was E.G.O something you could keep on all the time and use whenever like that? 'Cause I didn't know you could do that.

We all know E.G.O isn't some kind of magic tool. It's a lot of work... just keeping my sanity from tumbling over.

Besides, didn't someone say that those people all... used to be lab workers...! How is it possible for them to use E.G.O better than we do?

This is not a matter of proficiency in battle.

They must have employed some other trick.

There is one possibility in mind.

If they reduced Abnormalities to an ovate form and figured out a way to materialize their E.G.O the way Lobotomy Corporation did...

In other words, repeatedly researched the conditions of corrosion and trained themselves to repress it utilizing the Qliphoth Deterrence emitted by the Golden Bough...

It could be possible to use E.G.O well without being affected by corrosion even after a short period.

What they're using are tools, compressed and repressed into general utility.

Does that mean... Lobotomy Corporation did the same...

Yes, rather than Fixers, regular employees were given the E.G.O to work with.

Of course, what we have right now isn't as refined as what the Wing used to have.

Wait, hold on. If you're saying they can do that with the help of the Golden Bough's deterrence power, that means it's nearby...

...Must be. Along with Dongbaek, who has it in her hands...

I cannot help but question the security of this facility. The leader of the terrorists is freely roaming in your building, and not once has her presence been reported.

As much as I'd like to object... I don't have much I can say. I didn't expect them to break in so easily...

The technology liberation alliance is formed by former researchers of renowned firms, after all.

I see... So they were villains of bright minds. But I must wonder, can individuals of bright minds turn to villainy? Hmm... What a bewildering conundrum...

Don't let them fascinate you. If they were so wise, they wouldn't have quit their enviable jobs at large firms for a terrorist organization in the first place.

Maybe it wasn't the life they wanted.
