Chapter 160: XXVII

Chapter 160: XXVII

After the Sahara incident, the Kitsune received unfortunate news: Zero was dead.

“They’ll never know the price we paid for that victory.”

“They’ll only know that we reaped the rewards of that war.”

After that, the Kitsune officially left Asia and established a new headquarters in the Eye of the Sahara in Africa.

Also taken were many of the Kitsune’s high-ranking officials, technical personnel, and soldiers.

On the same day, the Kitsune organization officially changed its name to the Foundation of Contain, Control and Protect and announced this to the world.

They’d successfully contained the True Ancestor, the Sea King, the Angel, and the Dragon, the four top-level objects. They announced their danger to the world, obtaining legal authorization and partial land ownership in Africa.

And Zero was labeled a traitor.

He was dead, but not completely dead.

After being killed by one of Chino’s tentacles, Death appeared.

Since the rewards for successfully containing 008 and 002 hadn’t been given yet, he couldn’t die.

Mei gave him two chances. He chose to be reborn and gather information.

Information about the whereabouts of all the objects and Ancient Artifacts.

He finally learned that all the Ancient Artifacts were sealed in 024, the Library of the Exiled.

After that, Zero officially compiled all the objects' numbers.

He divided the objects into two categories.

One was the Monster List, decided by Mei.

One is the Compound Derivative series. All monster compound derivatives, as long as they exist, are given a number.

And the Kitsune, are known to the outside world as the Foundation.

The Kitsune are divided into a military unit, officially named the Kitsune Mobile Task Force.

There are four other similar teams.

One is the Guinea Pig soldiers, created by the Master of Flesh.

Two is the Right Hand soldiers, led by Naira Sorkin, now renamed the Crimson Right Hand.

Three and four are two newly established units.

Due to the Sea King being sealed and the severe shortage of special combat forces, Zero restarted the monster cell experiment.

Injecting monster genes into humans again to create the Abyssal Infiltration Squad, possessing Fish-Man abilities.

Also activated is the Legal Left Hand squad.

This squad, whose name refers to their left hands, is primarily responsible for internal matters. They monitor internal personnel and will immediately take action if anyone loses control or rebels.

Following this, the Foundation released the latest operational notice.

Their next target is 004.

Retrieving 004, the Queen Bee, and the absorption device in her possession is their main objective.

Finally, Zero was reborn. Upon his rebirth, he obtained a potion.

And the potion he obtained was the one Ye Long drank, called Ultimate Terror.

...

In a temporary headquarters in the Eye of the Sahara in Africa.

Zero sat in a wheelchair, his body covered in bandages, one eye also covered.

That battle had cost him his right eye and right arm. Even after being reborn, his legs were paralyzed, and he was unable to leave his wheelchair.

Someone approached Zero. Zero’s face was terrifying. His remaining left eye constantly emitted an unusual blood-red light.

A respirator was attached to his throat, a tube running from his skin into his throat. His voice was entirely generated by the respirator.

“Have 012… come… see me.”

“Chief…”

“The o5… council… can’t… continue… to be led… by me.”

Zero’s rebirth wasn’t successful. He’d barely managed to cling to life, but he couldn’t heal his wounds.

But he wasn’t the worst off.

Someone else was far worse. Naira Sorkin was practically bedridden. It was fortunate that he survived.

But Naira Sorkin was now almost vegetative.

Of the original Right Hand soldiers, only a few remained. The Vermin’s whereabouts were unknown.

The only good news was that the angel remained in a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up.

And the dragon, after waking up, remained silent, neither struggling nor resisting.

The Atlantis seal had sucked all the Fish-Men in the area into a sealed space, but only within the Eye of the Sahara.

The Fish-Men outside the Eye of the Sahara couldn’t be affected by the seal.

Ye Long had successfully saved his mother. But he now hesitated, wondering if he should return to see her.

Reinhard, for his contributions in capturing the Sea King, was officially assigned to the Right Hand squad.

At this point, the vampires, the Serpent’s Hand, and the Fish-Men had largely faded from the world stage.

The world’s turmoil subsided, but not for long.

Mei began to carry out her plan to bring "peace" to the world.

011 Celestial Beast underwent a second evolution. The potion used was directly refined from a vampire corpse.

Mei had done this casually, mainly to add fire resistance and flight secondary traits to 011.

This was to compensate for the imperfections in 011’s original potion.

But the world showed no changes. 011 had still not reached 4th Step.

This was an evolution based on the existing potion. Next was the first potion.

Vespa.

He was pulled away by Mei a second before the seal.

In the darkness, Mei’s sinister smile appeared as she took out a light blue potion.

This potion was directly extracted from the evolved 002.

Various whale genes were added to this potion. It was a new, giant growth potion.

As the most outstanding Fish-Man in this war, Vespa received Mei’s blessing.

After drinking the potion, he, as expected, transformed into a giant monster even larger than 002!

It was also a sea creature, but its diameter exceeded two thousand meters!

Perfect!

Mei could only use this word to describe the potion’s effect!

Although its abilities weren’t particularly outstanding, its size met Mei’s objectives.

Number 027: Leviathan.

Life Level: Mid-3rd Step.

Secondary Trait (1): Oblivion Maker. 027 secretes a liquid that can make people forget their memories and brainwash creatures. But 027 must eat before secreting this liquid.

Secondary Trait (2): Abyssal Stomach. 027’s stomach contains a small world. Things it eats will enter this world.

Mei had entered this small world before. There was nothing there, and there was no way out.

But that was only true for ordinary people.

Mei could freely traverse space and could easily get out.

After the experiment was successful, Vespa landed in the North Pacific Ocean.

Coincidentally, he encountered Siren, who was running away.

Siren blinked. Vespa, seeing the tiny Siren, suddenly remembered something.

It was Siren who had saved him before.

At the time, he and his friend were on a yacht, and his friend, wearing the golden mask, tried to kill him.

Vespa jumped into the deep sea to save himself. Siren had saved him then.

Siren waved at the enormous creature before her. “You… okay?”

Vespa made a loud rumbling sound in the sea. “The Sea King is defeated. That Lord has appointed me to take over the ocean. I am 027.”

Siren pointed at herself. “Um… I’m like 007?”

Vespa’s dazed gaze shone on Siren. “You saved me once. If you need help, call me anytime. I’ll return the favor.”

Siren swayed her tail and went to Vespa’s side.

“Did I save you?”

“Yes.”

“Then can I come with you?”

“Um… uh?”
