Junk World (JUNK WORLD)

W-w… I am a god!

Kneel and bow your head

Worship me and obey

If you do,

I shall grant you wisdom

Humanity created artificial lifeforms called Marigans as a labor force for underground development.

However, the Marigans became self-aware, created their own clones, and rose up in rebellion against humanity.

280 years after the ceasefire agreement that ended the 150-year conflict, humanity remains on the surface, while the Mulligans rule the underground world.

No good… I'm still hung over from yesterday

You drank too much

More importantly—

Don't let Marigan look down on you

Understood, Captain Tris

Should we take out two or three of them?

I don't mind wiping them all out

That'll start another war, you know

Good

I've been bored lately

By the way, you're upgrading Robin again?

I spent all my savings

Why go that far?

This Robin—

I've kept improving my sitter, and raised her this far

Paying her back, huh

I'm grateful

It's practically human

This time, it's incredible

I converted the AI into an organic structure

Beautiful, isn't it?

How incredible are we talking?

You wouldn't understand,

but it's like ten thousand of your brains

That's not right

See?

Given its performance...

Huh? What?

Over thirty-eight thousand

That's reassuring

You are...

Don't say it

Lady Tris is...

Stop

1. Act

Where's Yoshiote?

Seems he's not feeling well

I see

Ambassador Morse, on your mouth

I see

Today, I'll be in command

And what is that robot?

You look pretty timid for all that talk

What did you say?!

Quiet, all of you

That robot is authorized for recording purposes

Now then, let's reconfirm the purpose of this operation

Doctor, explain the situation

Over the past few days, at a depth of 3,200 meters—

from Karpvar in Ghost Town,

we detected Cooper waves

They're high-energy microwaves—

a type of astral body

The Gray levels violate the treaty

That's why we've come to this joint investigation

Considering residual particles, the term is six days

After that, another unit takes over

Any questions?

I hear there's a Marigan original over there

That would be me

So you're the Marigan progenitor?

Is that unusual?

You all have the same face

And your commander is a woman?

Is that unusual?

Are all you moles male or what?

What did you say?!

Don't break the 280-year ceasefire

on my watch

Whose side are you on?

The ambassador is the chairman of the Smahl Party's son

I won't tolerate disrespect

Hey, Ambassador♡

Y-yeah

What is it? What's wrong?!

The door won't open!

An electromagnetic attack?

What's happening?

No idea Communications are down!

Ambassador Morse!

Get back, idiot!

What are they?

What?

Over here!

No good!

This place is going under!

Where are the escape boats?

Lower floor, but there's an exit outside

We might get through that hole

All right, let's go

So high!

Move it!

Watch out!

What are you doing?!

Hurry!

The belt!

Can you do it?

If we switch to manual…

It won’t move!

No, it will

Right engine hit!

We can’t shake them!

Are you sure we’re okay?!

What is it?

A self-destruct?!

I don’t know!

What?!

I can’t control it!

We’re ejecting

We’re going down?!

Shut up

Eject!

These are the only survivors?

No response where’s Robin?

There is no channel

The inner island’s gone silent too

Those were Marigan… Who are they?

Gyura Cult believers

What the hell is that?!

A primitive Marigan religion

Why are they attacking us?

They’re a cult that holds both hatred—

and adoration for the humans who created Marigan

They repeatedly modify their bodies—

and call it “ritual,” but they eat people

Since the ceasefire, chances to get humans dropped—

so they probably resorted to this

But for the inner island to fall…

There must be a spy inside Marigan—

who dropped the shield

You bastard!

How dare you—

I’m sorry

And one more thing

A woman’s flesh is valuable

That might be their goal

It’s fine if they like you—

but you won’t become their food

Hey!

What are we doing now?!

They may attack again

We need to get away from here

Let’s wait for the other unit at Karpvarl

Agreed The Gyura Cult is persistent

How far to Karpvarl?

About five days on foot

Idiot! You savage!

Are you insane?!

You expect us to walk that far?

What?

You’ll get us eaten by them!

Just so you know—

I still don’t trust you

I know

Make one wrong move and I’ll cut you down

Understood

By the way—why can that robot still move?

Because you made it organic, right?

How’s it doing?

Some circuits shorted, but it’s self-repairing now

It fixes itself… Like a living thing

So why was Karpvarl abandoned?

After the accelerator accident—

the ether body and mental body interfered—

triggering a Gray reaction

What happened to the city?

Hanz poisoning and Danelia infection spread—

and a 300-gigar radius became uninhabitable

That bad…?

Hey

Hey!

Are you listening?!

Hey!

I’m starving

Hey, Ambassador♡

Huh? Oh…

Hey! Are you listening?!

Lady Tris

We don’t have any food

What? And you call yourself a captain?!

Useless!

What the hell…

You got a problem?!

Damn it…

What do you eat?

Stick-shaped solid rations

Are they any good?

“Good”? I don’t understand

Then what else do you have?

Else? That’s it

You only have one kind of food?

Why would having more kinds matter?
