The unknown underground world in the distance—
"You're back?" The black-robed man in the hall heard the commotion but didn't look up; his cold voice rang out.
As the black mist rolled in, a human figure gradually formed beneath it.
The man's face was obscured, and he was surrounded by black mist, seemingly composed of black fog rather than a physical entity.
Who else could this be but "Ye Hao" who appeared in the previous base?
"Hehehe." A strange laugh rang out.
The man in the hall ignored him, muttered a couple of times, and then a black cat leaped onto his lap. The man scooped it up, his cracked hand stroking the cat's back. The cat meowed contentedly. The man squinted and said, "How are you? Is my old friend alright?"
"As you said, I did not directly destroy their base. I captured people, turned them into my own, teased them, and then left," the man below replied.
"Very good." A cold voice rang out.
"I never expected this! You actually ended up here because of a lack of divine points, hahaha, this is truly heaven's help, heaven's help indeed, hehehe..."
After laughing enough, the man looked down at the man below and said, "Go and check on how things are going at the Crimson Pool. If they're almost done, take them to the Colored Pool."
The people below nodded and left.
Crimson poolside.
"Drip, drip..." Bright red blood flowed rhythmically into the blood pool along the chains.
Above the chains was a person with his head bowed, his wrist slit open, a small cut to ensure he wouldn't die too quickly.
The blood pool beneath the chains was filled with many people, none of whom had any expression. Red dots appeared on their bodies from time to time, and these dots bulged rhythmically, as if something was wriggling inside them.
These are the people who were previously controlled.
They had been soaking in the crimson pool for a long time, and their bodies had undergone varying degrees of change—
Some of them haven't changed much yet, with only a few red dots appearing on their bodies; others are mostly covered in red dots, but there are no other changes; and still others are "almost complete," just as the man in black robes said.
The man, who was transformed from black mist, had already selected those who were "almost complete" and brought them to the colorful pool on the other side.
The colorful pool lives up to its name.
The pools, large and small, each exuded a different kind of eeriness; some were orange, some were yellow, and some were green...
If Zero were here, he would definitely be cursing and saying, "What, why not just make a rainbow of people?"
...
These pools, just like ordinary crimson pools, were bubbling and gurgling. Although there was no heat, it seemed as if a heat was emanating from them, which was quite eerie.
The difference here is that there are no chains, and no chained people "replenishing their nutrition"; everything is just these colorful pools of water.
No one knows what the water in these pools is made of, but it probably isn't anything good.
The black-mist people have already thrown one "person" in.
The green pool water splashed out, swallowing the "person" like a giant beast opening its blood-red maw.
The people who were swallowed did not change at all, and after a while they floated on the surface of the pool like bubbles.
He threw each pond into a pool, and soon each pond was inhabited by "people".
After completing his mission, the Black Mist Man did not linger; he transformed back into a cloud of black mist and disappeared underground.
