Chapter 79

"You really don't know me?" Siertu said. "I'm very grateful to you."

Su Ran took a few steps back after hearing this.

——It’s that big bad guy!

At that time, he was in a hurry to save Si Chengyan and hurriedly gave him his healing power, but now...

Su Ran: "What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" said Sirtu. "There's no need to vulgarize us like this."

"This world has been completely thrown into chaos. I simply want humanity to regain its dominance," he said, spreading his arms. "This is a powerful asset for humanity, both emotionally and logically."

"You are unique, Su Ran. It's not because of your healing power, but because your body seems to be able to accommodate many supernatural powers, which is also the ability we need now."

Su Ran: "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember the Support Institute?"

Su Ran suddenly understood something when he heard this. He took a few steps back in disbelief. "Are you going to be like Dr. Tariel from the support institute?"

The original volunteer research institute was a place to study human superpowers.

Su Ran still remembers Lulu and his mushroom family. They were captured and taken to a research institute, where they underwent many experiments on mutated creatures. In the end, Lulu was the only one left in this fungus race.

"You mean the old man?" said Sirtu. "That's impossible."

As he spoke, he took a few steps back and laughed a few times. The human features on his face had slowly faded away, like dry bark sinking under the water, gradually curling up, all the blood vessels wrinkled, became lighter, and thinner... In the end, his face was like a piece of white paper, completely turned inside out.

——This was his original tree man appearance, but compared to the previous time he saw it, it seemed even more terrifying. An indescribable sense of weirdness spread and rose, and in the end, it turned into an indescribable disgusting face.

"To become a master, one doesn't necessarily need to be human. I prefer to call it... a human carrier," said Siertu. "I am constructing a world of Azathoth."

"If humanity wants to regain power, it must obtain power from beyond the universe..." He knelt on his knees as he spoke. Many lifelike branches sprouted from his tailbone, but Siertu remained kneeling as his voice gradually turned into a low chant. "At the beginning of chaos, all things will be trapped in a dark abyss, governed by the unknown. They are unfathomable and formless, but the sun, like a guillotine, will obey their commands and lead the entire era, slowly, slowly, into it..."

Su Ran had no idea what he was saying.

Those chaotic gods and the cosmic order that roamed outside were too difficult for a little rose to understand.

But, but - from this, Su Ran caught some words.

Sirtu seemed to want an "invisible" world, and when he was lurking on this suspended island, he must have done corresponding experiments close to "shapelessness".

Could it be that...

Su Ran suddenly raised the flower bud and asked, "Did you create the fog?"

"How should I put it? Not entirely." Siertu looked at him, his dark eyes were dull, as if he had lost the ability to think.

"I just helped give it a boost," Siertu said. "There are many unknowns in this world. I've done a lot of research in the abyss over the past decade or so. The mist rising from the surface is precisely a catalyst for distortion. It can cause organisms to lose control, and it can also make humans more powerful."

Su Ran: "This is just a matter of following the current...right?"

"If the roses in the Deepwood District had listened to me, they wouldn't have fallen to such a state," he said. "The Rose Elder is too foolish. He's always skeptical of my mist. He's so different from Stanchi in Sea City and Tariel in New City..."

Sirtu took a few steps forward.

He looked at Su Ran, his eyes clinging to him. "Those who don't obey will disappear from this world completely, just like those in the Deep Trees and the Ivy Area."

Su Ran looked at him.

Compared to before, he was very calm and said calmly: "Are you going to take me away?"

"No, it won't," said Siertu. "You're already infected. I just wanted a more rigorous sample, and you happened to be the one I chose."

"So you brought me here?" Su Ran said, "Did you win the badge?"

"It's me, and it's not me." Siertu paused for a few seconds and said, "You don't think I'm the only tree person here, do you?"

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and in that brief moment of daze, he heard the other party laugh deeply.

"But fortunately... it's all over now. I've sneaked into the Hanging Island, which means... this world within this order is about to end."

The moment he finished speaking, Sirtu snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the entire underground research institute was covered by thick fog, and Su Ran and himself were completely submerged in an instant.
