Shrouded Seascape

Lily's skin grew whiter and whiter as she absorbed the special energy from within Dawn One. In no time, the dazzling sunlight overflowed, piercing her skin and pervading the air outside.

Sensing the rapid decline of its power, Dawn One panicked. At first, it thought that the human before it was speaking in jest. It couldn't be helped. After all, a mere human being making contact with its resplendent figure would meet only one fate—a horrible fate of being reduced to ashes.

However, it turned out that the joke was on itself. Lily seemed to be capable of absorbing and assimilating the power within it.

As an animated nuclear fusion reactor, its main body was the dazzling golden halo. Once Lily had absorbed all of it, Dawn One would truly die.

Faced with the possibility of suffering a true death, Dawn One wanted to resist, but it couldn't do anything at all. Since it was an infinite energy source, the Foundation had placed numerous restrictions on it as soon as it was born.

It couldn't even move, let alone resist. If it were capable of moving, it wouldn't have stayed in the ruins of Newbound City for a thousand years.

Since it couldn't resist physically, Dawn One attempted to seek a chance of survival through words, shouting, "Wait! You can't do this! What's inside me will not be helpful to you at all! I mean, come on, just look at yourself!

"You're about to explode!"

Lily gnashed her teeth and shook her head. Golden tears slid from the corners of her eyes and fell down her agonized face. "I'm really sorry! I know this is wrong, but I have to do this to become the Light God!

Dawn One's figure flickered as if it were a light on the verge of snuffing out, and its voice grew frantic as it exclaimed, "No, this isn't it! If you want to become the Light God, then you have to repeat Experiment K392!"

"Experiment K392?"

"Don't you want to become the Light God? Experiment K392 was the name of the experiment that Dr. K9 used to create the Light God back then! If you want to become the Light God, then you shouldn't absorb my power! You have to repeat Experiment K392!"

Lily's eyes widened as she slowly retracted her hand from Dawn One's halo. The light from Dawn One had dimmed considerably, and the halo around it had gotten tinier as well.

Lily stared deeply at Dawn One and realized that the Light God's power felt different from Dawn One's. With that in mind, Lily became convinced that Dawn One wasn't lying to her.

In other words, she still wouldn't reach the same level as the Light God, even if she managed to absorb it completely. The gap between the two entities was just too huge.

"Can you tell me where Experiment K392 was conducted?"

Dawn One seemed a bit scared of Lily as its words carried a hint of flattery. "My apologies, but I have no idea. I've been here since I was made. In fact, I don't even know what the sea looks like.

"However, the Subterranean Sea is vast, so someone out there definitely knows about where Experiment K392 was conducted. Someone of your knowledge and wisdom will surely find out soon."

Lily glimmering with a golden light fell into deep contemplation. Moments later, the face of the King of Sottom, 134, appeared in her mind. 134 was that little girl with sharp, pointy teeth.

Mr. Charles once told me that she was one of the important catalysts to the birth of the Light God. If there are people out there who know where and how the Light God was made, then as a witness, she must be one of them!

Lily kissed Dawn One's dazzling halo, and then she flew toward the distant crevice like a meteor. "Thank you for the reminder! That was really helpful! I'm going to look for her now!"

Upon Lily's departure, the cavern dimmed considerably, and the temperature dropped significantly as well.

Dawn One truly felt lucky and thankful for its wit that allowed it to escape certain death. While it was reveling in its success, it noticed an individual wrapped in bandages walking over toward it from a distance.

It was familiar with the bandaged figure. The bandaged figure was the ruler of the island down below, and he had been using the sunlight from its body to grow food and become even stronger as a ruler.

"Didn't you say I was the lifeblood of your island? And the most valuable treasure of the Subterranean Sea? Didn't you say that you've prepared a huge variety of defenses for my safety?" Dawn One roared at Bandages. Its booming voice pervaded every inch of the cavern. "Just what exactly was that little girl earlier?!

"She almost killed me, but I saw not even any traces of your so-called defenses!"

The expressionless Bandages came to the sacrificial altar to the Light God. He squinted as he looked up at Dawn One in the air. "I don't think… she's going to be… useful..."

"What?" Dawn One asked, sounding confused. Bandages' answer didn't make sense at all. "What are you talking about?"

"She's too young... and too weak… compared… to you."

Dawn One remained confused, but when it saw a young boy appear next to Bandages, it finally realized that Bandages wasn't talking to it.

The young Charles of this plane waved his hand lightly, and a flesh membrane appeared in front of him. The flesh membrane depicted Lily's figure, who had just flown out of Newbound City.

Charles sighed softly and remarked, "It doesn't matter whether she's going to be useful or not. Let's just go ahead and try. If she really becomes the Light God, then she will become a great help to us.

"And when it comes to contingency plans, the more is always the better. Besides, we haven't paid any price for her help, have we?"

Bandages turned to look at his captain. "That little mouse… seems to be very important to that Mr. Charles… Remember... when we were wary… of that little mouse? He specifically… came here… to resolve the misunderstanding.

"I think… he doesn't want the little mouse... to get involved... you doing this... might be bad."

"What's bad about this? At this point, there's no time to consider such trivial matters. Feelings are useless, and they must be discarded. I've even put my life on the line, so do you really think I'll care about the lives of other people?

"Besides, this is her own choice. I did nothing to influence her. If something goes wrong, he can't blame it on me."

Bandages silently nodded.

"Hey! What are you guys talking about? Did you not hear what I said? Can you not see that the energy inside me has mostly been taken away?! My weakened sunlight means that the crops on your island will all have reduced yields!"

Charles looked up and glared at Dawn One. "Quiet!"

A violent tremor ran across Dawn One suspended in midair, and it fell completely silent.

Charles' main body wasn't here, but he could easily deal with Dawn One even without his main body.

"Captain... did you see what happened up above? What was… the source of that special aura?"

"No. 002 is up there, so it's too dangerous for me to go there. However, I've sent some of my sons and daughters to the Colossal Hole Fortress, so I believe we'll have some news soon."
