“Professor Atuka, quickly tell the strange egg Kami to stop!” The laboratory’s security captain’s tone was helpless and anxious.

Seriously.

It’s not terrifying to have a god-like opponent; what’s terrifying is having a pig-like teammate.

Professor Atuka possessed wisdom in biotechnology far exceeding ordinary people, but she was truly not a qualified Beast Tamers.

To let her pet beast use the nano-oscillation skill on a large scale under these circumstances, wasn't that just provoking them?

If he hadn't remembered his identity, he would have really wanted to curse out loud at this moment.

She was a divine idiot.

Didn't she know the current situation of these monsters she had created?!

Even more troublesome was Experiment Subject 21.

Although it hadn't made any extra movements for the time being, he always felt that this was the calm before the storm.

Due to the stimulation of the nano-oscillation, the attacks of the stitched creatures also became increasingly fierce, but their attacks gradually became indiscriminate, not distinguishing between friend and foe.

Black Pearl in Myriad Realms Travel state could avoid all attacks, but this also prevented her from approaching Atuka to get her spatial item.

So Black Pearl could only switch back and forth between the invisibility and Myriad Realms Travel characteristics.

“Boom!”

Even so, various attacks occasionally landed on her, and the injuries on her body grew more numerous.

But brave Black Pearl feared no difficulties.

It was just a small injury; an extraordinary being wouldn't die from it.

Under these circumstances, Black Pearl finally approached Atuka, and before she and her pet beast could react, she forcibly snatched the ring she wore on her hand.

Along with Atuka’s right palm!

“Ah!!!”

Her right hand severed by the sharp water blade, Atuka screamed, clutching her gushing bleeding stump, looking like she had gone mad.

Only at this moment did Black Pearl truly relax.

She deftly took off the spatial item and tossed it into her own spatial item, then casually threw the severed hand aside.

Coincidentally, the bloody severed hand landed on the head of the tumorous monster.

“Splish.”

The severed hand slid to the ground.

And that tumorous monster, which hadn't made many movements since leaving the cultivation tank, as if it had crashed, suddenly moved.

Its body made a gurgling sound, like flowing water, and also like rotten flesh slapping against each other.

“...Hiss-woo...”

It suddenly turned around.

Revealing a body that was neither clearly front nor back.

Black Pearl’s eyes widened in shock instantly.

The main body of the tumorous monster resembled a moving mountain of flesh, covered with a thick layer of constantly wriggling, black, viscous substance like living asphalt.

This substance continuously secreted highly corrosive acid, dripping onto the ground with a “sizzling” sound and emitting pungent white smoke.

Multiple limbs of various forms extended from the mountain of flesh.

There were thick arms covered with rock-hard carapaces, ending in huge bone hammers;

There were whip-like appendages covered with suckers like octopus tentacles, flashing with electric arcs;

There was even a pair of tattered, decaying bird wings, futilely flapping.

The back of its head was also largely covered by the black viscous substance, but behind the wriggling, twisted tumor, there was actually a face. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It was a pale face, belonging to a human male.

His eyes were sunken, his eyeballs cloudy and lifeless, filled with bloodshot veins, but in the depths of his pupils, a chilling light, a mixture of madness and despair, burned!

It was because of seeing this scene that Black Pearl’s pupils experienced an Earthquake.

This tumorous monster actually also had human body parts.

Could it be that all the stitched creatures here were...

Black Pearl felt that this place was the hellish world her master spoke of, even more terrifying and disgusting than she described!

At this moment, that pale face turned its lifeless eyeballs, staring at the severed hand that had fallen at its 'feet'.

The next second, that face was forcibly stretched open by the viscous substance, constantly dripping saliva, and spoke intermittently.

“...Hungry...Eat...Atuka...Eat...”

A tentacle lashed out, deftly coiling around the severed hand.

Seeing this scene, Atuka, whose face was as white as pickled cabbage from pain, instinctively tried to stop it.

But—

“Crunch.”

“Rip.”

The mouth on that face actually ate the severed hand bite by bite, just like gnawing on a chicken foot.

“...Eat...Atuka...Hungry...Eat...”

This scene made the researchers and guards present feel a bit nauseous.

“Ugh.”

“...Blech...”

Although they had seen more terrifying and disgusting things in this underground laboratory.

But cannibalism, indeed, was a first.

Moreover, this was the first time they knew that the human sample integrated into Experiment Subject 21 actually retained human consciousness!

But that human sample... wasn’t it integrated after death?

Could such integration even bring humans back from the dead?

Thinking of this, several researchers’ eyes instantly lit up.

What precious and important experimental data this was!

They had created so many experiment subjects, and this was the first case!

Black Pearl didn't know the thoughts in these researchers' minds; she also watched this horrifying scene in shock, wishing she could poke out her own eyes.

It was too disgusting.

And after this face ate Atuka's hand bite by bite, its aura became even more chaotic, violent, and filled with an all-consuming hunger.

Its strength had indeed reached Venerable-level peak!

But this power was still extremely unstable, like a powder keg on the verge of exploding.

“Hungry!”

“...Atuka...”

“I... am hungry!”

The pale man's face spoke with noticeably more accurate and clear pronunciation, and his bloodshot human eyeballs stared intently and fixedly at Atuka, whose face had long since turned ashen white.

At this moment, Atuka's blue eyes were filled with fear, suspicion, and a panic hidden beneath the fear and suspicion.

“Julian, how could this be? How could you still be alive...?”

The man's face didn't seem to understand her words; he grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth stained with blood and flesh fibers.

“Atuka... Hungry...”

He seemed to only be able to say these few words.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Atuka’s bloodshot eyes, and a scarlet fire flickered one last time in her gaze.

She took a deep breath, covered her severed hand, and ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) stood up.

As if a switch had been flipped, the sternness on her face suddenly receded, and when she looked up, the harshness on her face had already faded.

The corners of her eyes and brows softened.

“Julian,” her voice was as light as a feather, the previous ruthlessness completely gone, her eyes filled with tears, her nose slightly red, “It’s truly wonderful that you still have consciousness, then everything I’ve done was worth it.”

Before she finished speaking, a tear slid down without warning; she hurriedly raised her intact left hand to wipe it away, her movements as flustered as a startled fawn, completely different from the cold, intellectual professor she had been just moments ago.

Her behavior left the researchers and guards who had known her for a long time stunned.

What happened to the decisive, mature woman they knew? How did she suddenly turn into a fragile, manipulative woman?
