In a secret room at the royal palace of the Atlantis Empire in the Atlantian Domain, a naked male Atlantian was tied to a tube-shaped device as numerous wires and connections were made to his body.

A host of Atlantian Doctors garbed in white clothes attended to him as they constantly moved around the tube-shaped device, observing their test subject while at the same time imputing orders to the machines before them.

At times, the naked Atlantian struggled inside the tube-shaped device like he was in pain. This continued for a long time as the Doctors used all the different methods of brainwashing techniques known to the Atlantis Empire.

They combined magic and science to try brainwashing Sebastian.

After everything, hidden mechanisms were activated as water slowly started draining away from the tube-shaped device where Sebastian was kept.

Like most other Atlantians, Sebastian also had the gills to breathe in Oceania. In the absence of his gills, he could survive through his magic but at this moment, Sebastian’s magic was thoroughly suppressed.

Only the royal Atlantians could survive in a dry environment and Sebastian was no royalty. His stint in the inheritance ground of the Doppelganger and Invisibility Sea King was not counted since that was just a simulated world.

Gasp!

As soon as the water was drained away out of the tube-shaped device, Sebastian gasped for breath as he started suffocating.

"Kill me!" He growled but no one listened to him.

A few dozen minutes later, Sebastian lost consciousness as he could not breathe. Once he lost his consciousness, water was pumped back inside the tube-shaped device as the Doctors watched their target’s life signals slowly stabilize.

They waited for 5 minutes before they employed measures to wake him up. When Sebastian opened his eyes, everything before him was blurry.

"Look at me, I am your creator..."

Sebastian’s blurry sight shifted in the direction of the sound only to see someone looking like him who was garbed in white clothes.

"You are an Atlantian, you are a sworn soldier of the Atlantis Empire".

"Repeat after me".

Sebastian kept quiet for about 2 minutes as he kept on looking at the Doctor with a confused expression on his face. On seeing this, the Doctor was patient as he started all over from the beginning, repeating the words.

"Look at me, I am your creator..."

"You are an Atlantian, you are a sworn soldier of the Atlantis Empire".

"Repeat after me..."

As the white-garbed figure reached this part, Sebastian’s eyes suddenly flickered as a strange line of words populated his vision.

[You have been affected by an illusion magic skill: Confusion!]

[You have been affected by an illusion magic skill: Disorientation!]

[You have been affected by a forbidden magic skill: Memory Wipe!]

[You have been affected by a forbidden magic skill: Brainwashing!]

[Warning! You are being brainwashed!]

[Calculating mental resistance to brainwashing level...]

[Host’s mental resilience is above the brainwashing mechanism; you have retained your sanity and memories.]

Sebastian was still confused as he saw all these but only for the first 2 seconds. Once he finished reading everything, his eyes shone like lanterns.

"Repeat after me..." The Atlantian Doctor was in the process of repeating his brainwashing phrase when he suddenly noticed the change in his target’s eyes, he frowned as a slight shudder ran through his spine.

Sebastian sucked in all the water that he could accommodate into his mouth before he opened them and roared. "F*CK YOU!"

"F*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you..."

"F*ck you all motherf*ckers!"

Once the Doctors saw this, they sighed and gave up as they turned to face the sovereign of Atlantis who took time off her busy schedule to watch all the proceedings throughout the past few hours.

"For some strange reason, his mental resilience is too strong".

"Your Majesty, I’m sorry, we can’t brainwash him".

Queen Auralis listened to this all and kept quiet. She turned to look at the naked Atlantian quietly as a lot of things went through her mind, Sebastian recovered enough to notice her now and he roared in her direction.

"Kill me you whore queen!"

"Shut up!" This time Queen Auralis was riled up as her voice increased causing the atmosphere to increase rapidly, reaching a boiling point.

She smirked after calming down. "You think you’re wise, once I kill you, your main body will create a new version of you. You think I’m that foolish?"

"This time, your mistake was not protecting yourself enough and you’ll regret it for life. I will do anything to get what I want out of you and bring you down".

"Take him to the Dungeons!"

"Torture him day and night till he is ready to talk!"

"Yes, your Majesty!" The Atlantian guards who had been listening in the background since came as they bundled the defenseless Sebastian away.

While Sebastian was dragged away, the Queen said her last words. "Remember this, notorious criminals have been imprisoned in my Dungeon but over the centuries, not one of them has ever escaped".

"Don’t think yourself special, you’re not going to be the first one".

Later that day, another war prisoner was locked in the notorious Dungeons of the Atlantis Empire as another screaming voice joined the cacophony of screams, adding another melody to it.

Sebastian’s misery of day and night torture began.

...

Back in the Green Mist Sea, it was already a few hours but the show of strength by the Atlantis Empire was an event that could not be so easily forgotten.

The battle was swift, starting and ending very quickly but its intensity was at a whole other level as it even attracted the Rabbit Monarch.

After the battle came to an end, the 1st Den of Anatomy became history with its main leader captured. The location of this prosperous anatomy organization became a huge cemetery that buried all the anatomists that were slaughtered.

This short battle had a lot of repercussions for a lot of people, most especially Sebastian’s anatomy organization and Sebastian himself.

Once the news of the headquarters being destroyed was spread, the other Dens of Anatomy were clueless about what to do at first but they calmed down once their 2nd leader, Eliana’s soul form appeared before them.

Following her orders, all the anatomy Dens stopped any large-scale and eye-catching experiments as they all laid low to avoid watchful eyes.

The battle was a huge blow to this organization, and they needed to survive first before thinking of how to recover in the future.

They were heartbroken since the destruction of the 1st Den of Anatomy also meant the death of the best and most talented anatomists of the organization.

They didn’t even have the luxury to bury them, they were all sad.

Compared to Sebastian, the misery that these anatomists suffered was marginal. Sebastian’s 3 bodies were dealt a great blow by what happened.

Apart from the grief of losing so many close friends and work colleagues, Sebastian was affected the most by his captured Atlantian body.

Every one of his bodies was connected through the main body. If misfortune fell upon one of them, the others would also be affected.

If one of them died, the others would be weak for some period until the dead body was created again and brought back to life. The problem though was that the Atlantian body was not killed, rather he was locked up and tortured.

The effects of such a method were more far-reaching.

The torture of the Atlantian body subtly transferred to the other bodies. The other bodies lost concentration, it was like a portion of them was being tortured daily and this was something that they were unaccustomed to.

The body that was affected the most by this torture was Sebastian’s main Megalodon body who was inside the temple of enlightenment.
