Chapter 1657: Chapter 1655: Preparations of Both Sides

This biological laboratory situated inside the planet doesn’t only host the traitor—Morgan.

There are also three special corpses, immersed in containers meticulously designed by Morgan,

one completely bisected at the waist,

one with the chest completely excavated, leaving only a huge hollow,

one completely dismembered, the flesh floating like puzzle pieces inside the container.

The transparent containers are filled with a life-rich green solution,

and at the bottom, they are connected to a special fluorescent duct,

constantly injecting some form of bio-energetic material into the containers, seemingly the same type of energy that maintains the planet’s integrity, belonging to Morgan’s research findings.

These corpses, which died many years ago and have been examined numerous times, are now exhibiting bizarre vitality within their bodies.

Even the completely dismembered one has its corpse pieces connected through green fibers, piecing back the original form, with minor reactionary movements occurring at intervals.

This was mentioned before.

Morgan was once executed by Mi University and sent to the Sacrilegious Cellar in a ’corpse’ state.

For some powerful, hard-to-destroy and valuable corpses of felons, they are preserved in a sealed state here.

However, following Morgan’s mysterious disappearance, some felons in the Sacrilegious Cellar went missing too.

Indeed.

This was part of his plan.

To Morgan, the Sacrilegious Cellar was a natural biological treasure trove... Considering the value of corpses, Mi University intentionally maintained the corpses’ vitality when setting up the seal.

Morgan risked being executed and potentially dying to be sent to the Sacrilegious Cellar and steal the highly valuable corpses sealed inside it.

Some of these corpses have already been used for research,

but the value of the three before him exceeds their research value, and Morgan is conducting a special experiment on them, which, if successful, could achieve a real "resurrection."

At that moment.

Zzzzzz!

Next to the lab, a muscular door of extremely high density releases a large amount of pressure steam from its seams,

and when the pressure inside and outside is balanced, the muscle retracted into the wall in threads.

Inside the door corresponds to a special secret training room... A young man is slowly stepping out.

His green hair casually draped over his shoulders, with small eyes densely growing among the hair roots, Updated from his abdominal cavity transformed into a terrifying mouth with devouring capabilities, breathing heavily,

the youth exudes an extreme stench, like substances from a sewer sealed in kimchi soup to ferment for several months,

though this odor is considered "scent" to the youth.

This young man is Eugene, who left the Zothique Continent with Morgan to head to the ecosystem.

A few days later.

Eugene has become completely different,

the mythic aura he emanates is even stronger, and his physique appears more robust,

yet the most significant change lies in his two arms... which feel entirely different, containing not only the Shoggoth’s skin-like texture but also the gelatinous and heavy feel of a ghoul.

Just gazing at those two arms provides a mental pressure from the essence stored within.

It’s as if facing an incredibly terrifying ghoul in the Skeleton Storage Place.

Indeed.

As a reward for his help on the Zothique Continent,

The arm severed by Professor Morgan from M.O.’s entity was given to Eugene to reward his excellent performance.

Due to the commonality in practicing the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult.

Eugene perfectly consumed, absorbed, and digested the two arms through the "Corpse Eating Banquet," acquiring M.O.’s essence stored within, including insights into the Demon Book.

"Eugene, you seem to be in pretty good shape! M.O.’s arm, quite delicious, huh?"

"It’s incredibly powerful.

I now have the confidence to challenge Green directly..."

"Such ideas are best avoided; the first rule of living in the Demon Zone is to never provoke or even touch the existence in the Mad Abyss at the center of the universe.

Even I must ensure all my plans steer clear of that abyss as much as possible.

Moreover,

since you have so much confidence, there’s just the opportunity here for you to practice."

"Has someone arrived? Where are they?"

"No rush, they are still on the outermost layer. It’ll take a while to reach the depths... Besides, the other party arrived here as a team; you better form a team too, that’s only fair."

Saying this, Morgan turned his gaze to the containers holding the corpses.

...

On the planet’s surface

As the intelligence from the hunter indicated,

the professor’s team found a staircase leading deep underground at an altar hidden beneath a swamp temple.

Though the believers within the temple were quite strange, displaying abilities superior to demons of the same rank, they were nothing more than ants in the presence of the professor, no threat at all.

Professor Warren just needed to whisper a few words to erase their awareness of the team; even passing by close would not alert them.

If necessary, Professor Karen would carry out special executions.

Stabbing a blade dipped in potion into the target would turn them to dust within seconds, scattering in the wind, leaving no trace behind.

Pope discreetly left Void Marks along the journey to ensure a quick retreat in case of encountering danger.

Han Dong’s actions during the journey were more akin to a researcher.

He neither paid attention to the newly encountered demon species along the way nor left marks like Pope,

instead, he secretly extracted the fluid from environmental plants with a gold-edged syringe, sending it to the biological laboratory for research... attempting to analyze the planet’s mystery.

During the descent, they gradually understood the layered structure of this planet.

Morgan’s utilization of the planet is nearly 100%,

each layer representing a whole new biological world, Updated from some strata being entirely designed with an orchard structure, with dedicated gardeners for management,

some structured as farms, breeding creatures richer in flesh and several times bigger than pigs, with specific breeders for management,

moreover,

the mode of descent could change with each layer,

sometimes walking down stairs, sometimes traversing slippery meat-like tunnels, sometimes jumping into enormous, abyss-like voids...

As the group reached a certain depth,

Han Dong’s research in his mind made some progress, leading to an important conclusion.

"Everyone... We might have been discovered. However, our direction is correct."

"Please elaborate."

"Everyone’s disguise is flawless, but based on my environmental analysis,

the flora composing this planet have high abilities of oddity recognition and sensory systems... The biomass flowing among them serves as both nutrient transport and a nervous-sensory function.

The biomass originates from the planet’s core.

Someone could easily tap into every plant’s sensory system for detailed reconnaissance of the environment.

Professor Morgan is a meticulous thinker; he certainly wouldn’t make the same mistake as M.O... Since he’s using the Land Deed to cover the entire planet, he must have special measures to monitor its detailed state.

The worst-case scenario,

he has probably made full preparations, waiting for us to reach the deepest point.

I suggest either abandoning the plan to report our current findings to Mi University,

or wait a bit, letting other teams reach the center first, while we secretly gather information using Pope’s void techniques."

Han Dong’s speech did not shake Dean Dale’s resolve.

"Morgan, such a smart guy, causing such a commotion on the Zothique Continent, surely knows Mi University will send someone for him... He must have already prepared to ’welcome’ us early.

But we, too, are prepared.

We have a fundamental understanding of the planet’s structure, and I have roughly guessed Morgan’s plan.

If we retreat now,

he’ll completely integrate this planet using the Land Deed, transforming it into a more stable [vital life] and advance further into the Shattered Dimension, making it much harder to find him.

The planet hasn’t fully developed yet, making now the best time to execute our plan.

Let’s let the other teams have the initial conflict with him and see what kind of welcoming preparations he has made before we intervene."
