A slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
"That's Orochimaru's voice. Orochimaru has joined Hydra?"
Upon hearing the voice coming from Fujito Koichi on the phone, Shirogane Miyuki immediately recognized it as Orochimaru's voice, as Orochimaru's voice was extremely distinctive.
To be honest, Miyuki Shirogane used to think that his father's voice was very special and distinctive, but after hearing Orochimaru's voice, he realized that there could be a second person whose voice could be just as special.
"How's your mutant implementation going?"
"I really think highly of you."
[Kouichi Fujito said, "After all, rescuing and taking in Orochimaru was no easy task."]
"Hehehe, the mutant experiments are almost complete; the only issue is the strength of the mutant abilities."
"What's the problem?"
[Kouichi Shidou was initially somewhat relieved to hear that it was almost over, but he couldn't help but worry again when he heard that there were still some problems.]
After all, the controlled mass production of mutants is closely linked to Hydra's Insight Project.
"Based on the information you provided, most of the mutants I've created so far are only at the level of Epsilon-class mutants (Level 1) and Delta-class mutants (Level 2). A few can reach the level of Gamma-class mutants (Level 3), but there are no Alpha-class mutants (Level 4) or Double-class mutants (Level 5)."
Orochimaru said to Koichi Fujito on the other end of the phone, "This research on mutants has never stopped since I joined Hydra."
However, despite his extensive research, he still hadn't gained a concrete understanding of the mysteries surrounding mutants.
"The registration and classification of mutants."
Looking at Orochimaru's words on the light screen, Light Yagami thought about the combat power tiers he had roughly divided.
It's a pity we don't know the specifics of how this mutant's ability levels are classified; otherwise, we might be able to learn from it and better classify his combat strength.

Light Yagami guessed that the Epsilon, Delta, and Gamma mentioned by Orochimaru were probably at the bottom of the list.
After all, if it were a sequential order, Orochimaru wouldn't have used that tone.
"Are Gamma-level mutants all in the minority? Forget it, producing Epronsci and Delta mutants is fine. Just focus on getting Gamma-level mutants mass-produced as soon as possible."
[After speaking, Koichi Fujito hung up the phone. After all, Ipronsci-class and Delta-class mutants might be somewhat better against unarmed ordinary people, but they would likely be at a disadvantage against armed ordinary people.]
Against those powerful beings, without the strength of a Level 3 Gamma-level mutant, one would at best be cannon fodder and offer no help whatsoever to Project Insight.
[Then the screen froze on the image of Zifang Haoge, who was sitting in the boss's chair deep in thought, and gradually dimmed.]
"Judging from this, Kazuma, you should have the strength of an Alpha-level mutant."
Kirito looked at Kazuma Sato and said, after all, Kazuma Sato's recovery ability was so amazing, and he seemed to be very powerful in battle.
"He probably doesn't have the strength of an Alpha-level mutant; he's just good at healing, but not strong in himself."
Zhuge Cong said, of course, that was just a joke. After all, Kazuma Sato is comparable to Deadpool. If Kazuma Sato were to have a mental breakdown one day and turn into Deadpool Kazuma to slaughter the Marvel universe, he might actually be able to kill him.

"Insight Project, Insight, Insight, Insight of what can be done that requires so many mutants."
L wondered to himself what exactly this so-called Insight Project was, that it required so many mutants, and that they were quite powerful.
"Insight, insight, the world."
L suddenly realized that Hydra's Insight Project might be about understanding the world, or rather, about ruling the world.
However, thinking about it this way, L felt that Hydra was just like the villainous organizations in those novels, whose goal was to unify the world and make it submit to them.
Soon the previously dimmed light screen lit up again.
The image shows a very disheveled man; his stubble is clearly untrimmed from days of neglect, and his messy hair is so oily it looks like it could fry an egg on.
[Or perhaps the hair oil this guy used was just egg drop soup.]
The living room floor was littered with empty wine bottles, some of which had spilled onto the floor.
"Huh? That's all."
[Akizuki Kozo shook the empty bottle in his hand, then tossed it away with a disdainful look. The bottle rolled and tumbled all the way to the shelf beside him.]
"Wait for me, Zhuge Cong."
"Wait for me."
[Akizuki Kozo looked at the photo of Zhuge Cong lying to the side, unsure whether his envy stemmed from a hangover or from sheer anger.]
[Then, Akizuki Kozo staggered into a room. He reeked of alcohol, but didn't seem completely out of it.]
The anger in his eyes and his disheveled appearance made him look particularly frightening.
[When the room lights were turned on, a very strange device came into view for Akizuki Kozo.]
[Gu Jia, with his somewhat post-apocalyptic punk style, has a small energy device at the center of his skeleton, similar to the miniature ark reactor at the center of Zhuge Cong's steel armor.]
The skeleton has two long whips on its left and right hands, which appear to be the weapons of this device.
[Then, after donning the crude, post-apocalyptic punk-style armor, Akizuki Kozo also walked towards a mannequin.]
[A picture of Zhuge Cong was pasted on the mannequin's head. The next second, the mannequin was whipped to pieces by Akizuki Kozo wielding an electric whip.]
"No, why does this guy hold a grudge against me?"
Zhuge Cong looked at Akizuki Kozo, who harbored great resentment towards him, with a puzzled expression. He had never offended him.
In the original story, Whiplash harbored resentment towards Iron Man because of his family. Could it be that his side was the same? But suddenly, Zhuge Cong seemed to have thought of something.
At the beginning, it seems that Zhuge Stan had belittled and insulted Akizuki Kozo, and he was based on himself.
It's like talking about how the neighbor's child is.
Could it be that this is why Akizuki Kozo harbored resentment towards him, thus turning him into a whip?
Unfortunately, the light screen dimmed after showing Akizuki Kozo's electric whip lashing the dummy, leaving Zhuge Cong unsure of the details and forced to wait.
--------
Just as everyone was wondering why the light screen hadn't disappeared but had merely dimmed, a guy in a red battle suit appeared on the light screen.
"Hey, stop watching, there are no more Easter eggs, let's go back."
[Sato Kazuma walked out of a room, waved at the light screen, then walked towards the other end of the corridor. After taking a few steps, he turned back to look at the light screen and said...]
"Hey, there really aren't any more. No need to look anymore. There are only two. You didn't think there would be three, did you?"
"You said there's only one post-credits scene for Iron Man? How am I supposed to know? Okay, that's all for now, bye."
As Kazuma Sato finished speaking, the light screen completely disappeared from everyone's sight, as if everything they had just seen was a dream.
"They're here, aren't they? They're about to arrive."
Kazuma Sato, his hands trembling with excitement and frustration, awaited the arrival of his own mysterious gift.
Zhuge Cong felt that if Sato Kazuma were to rub his hands together a few more times, he would be a complete failure as a man, just like Flyman.
Soon, Kazuma Sato felt something unusual in his body; a warm sensation flowed through him.
"My face should be fine, right?"
Sato Kazuma immediately asked Zhuge Cong and the others if his face had turned into a blob of porridge like in the light screen.
Seeing them shake their heads filled me with immense joy. I walked to the window, feeling somewhat eager to try, but then I thought, even if I don't die, it will still hurt.
"for you."
Zhuge Cong handed Sato Kazuma a butterfly knife, the kind that had been sharpened.
"If you don't dare to jump off a building, then just commit seppuku. Come on, conquer yourself, give yourself a cut."
Zhuge Cong cheered on Sato Kazuma.
Kazuma Sato took the butterfly knife from Zhuge Cong, twirled it stylishly, and then tossed it straight into Zhuge Cong's drawer.
He wouldn't be so foolish as to actually try it; if he were to try something, it would be something unrelated, like the knowledge in his head.
"Oh, what a pity."
Zhuge Cong looked at the butterfly knife in the drawer, unsure of what he meant by "what a pity."
--------
"Um?!"
"This feeling."
Sitting in the classroom, Asagiri Kaname, whose face was flushed, also felt the strangeness in her body and some knowledge in her mind.
Feeling the strengthening of his body, he immediately thought of going to see the real Kazuma Sato in person.
But he quickly calmed down. If he could obtain it, then it meant that Kazuma Sato had also obtained the abilities within the light screen.
And thinking about it this way, did the people in the two light screens in front also gain abilities?
Sato Kazuma seems to have a good relationship with Zhuge Cong, who was the first to appear. If he goes now, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?
Knowing that he couldn't defeat Sato Kazuma even with his subordinates' help, wouldn't it be pointless for him to seek help from Sato Kazuma, who has allies, now that he's all alone?
On second thought, Asagiri realized that although he was very unhappy that Hydra had abandoned him, Hydra was incredibly wealthy.
But then Asagiri thought, wouldn't other organizations besides Hydra, such as official ones, also contact him?
