Chapter 177 - 177: Breaking Into The Enemy Base Part 2
"It's under this little cabin!" Dennis said as he pointed to a small secluded cabin in the woods.
Theo, who looked at this, was doubtful but soon considered that the actual base might be well underground.
"You're sure?" Theo set him down and asked.
"Yes, I am!" He spoke confidently of his declaration.
"Good." Theo nodded and swept the entire region around him with his Divine Sense.
"It actually is this place, and there's a lot more kids and women here… but there's not a lot of men, and the men who are here are possibly the ones guarding this place." Theo thought, helplessly. He could imagine what really happened, but he still had some hope since he could also sense the presence of some men a few miles away from here, and apparently, they were digging in a Mana stone mine.
"Anyway, I think it's best if I save children and women first, and after that, I can go over there." Theo thought and said to Dennis, "You should hide in a place nearby. I'll go in and save them all, okay?"
Although he wanted to help, too, Dennis could understand that he would turn out to be a hindrance, so he reluctantly nodded, "Okay…"
Soon after, Theo used his illusions over the whole area and made sure that no one noticed his approach. He moved in serpentine form as fast as lightning. In a matter of seconds, he had already invaded the underground base.
It was not difficult for him to find the entrance; he just had to sweep over the whole place with his Divine Sense, and soon, he found the entryway, despite it being well hidden under a large rock.
Entering the room in question… his rage intensified, he could see the situation more or less with his Divine Sense, but observing what was before him with his own eyes… caused his anger to reach the heavens!
Inside the room were some deformed children and women, still alive in large glass jars, filled with some kind of clear liquid. The eyes of these women and children were totally lifeless, no different from being dead… maybe if they were really dead, it wouldn't be that horrendous. There were some children with four arms of different types of animals, a few even having either three or four legs.
Of course, they were not born that way. These experiments they were subjected to caused them to become these abominations. There were even some who had no skin on their bodies, exposing raw tissues.
Theo, who looked upon all this, wasn't sure what to do. "Should I kill them and bring an end to their suffering? Or should I try to find a way to help them recover?"
He shook his head. Neither of the two options would be easy.
After thinking about it, Theo came to a decision and placed them all within his Dimensional Room for now. Theo felt that he could at least try to help them, but otherwise… well, he will decide when he gets to that point.
Sweeping his Divine Sense in every direction, he walked toward another room. He could see that this one had someone guarding it. At the front of the room was a large silver door, but it was utterly stained with red blood, giving it a sinister feeling.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
A Demi-Human Coyote asked him. The man was sitting in a chair, and the moment he saw Theo enter the room, he rose quickly and stood alert, holding the grip of the sword at his waist.
"Humph!"
Theo just snorted coldly and didn't say a word as he reached this Demi-Human. He placed his hand on the guard's head, taking control of his mind.
"Answer me, what exactly are you doing here? Who did those experiments on the women and children in the other room?"
Theo's eyes were glowing with a strong intent to kill. His eyes were so menacing that they glowed neon gold.
Theo used so much mental power to control this Demi-Human's mind that he was in full control, unlike before, when he did it to other people. This Demi-Human was now no different from a machine that could only answer his questions without the freedom of any rational thought.
"This place was created to train talented children and discover new talents. And for some time, the son of patriarch Mauricio Kenedy, a medical genius, became interested in experimenting with living people. Because the mothers of children who were used as a threat to keep children in control had no real use but to relieve sexual stress, he used them as experiments and also included children who could not develop their talent or could not be controlled."
His voice was lifeless, much like a robotic voice as he told everything he knew.
"This is insane!"
Theo's whole body shook with rage. He did not expect to find such cruel beings in this place. Not wanting to spend any more time in this place, Theo used his illusions to avoid the glimpses of those in this room.
Theo slapped this Demi-Human's chest and began to pull his soul from his body. Since they were so evil, he decided not to show them any mercy. Although Theo is not sure what happens if he devours someone's soul, he could imagine that it would possibly prevent these devoured beings from reincarnating again.
Ignoring the panicked screams of the soul that he had controlled the mind of, Theo used <Devour> on his soul and his body, leaving nothing of this Demi-Human behind.
[Filled 547 Lineage Cells]
A moment later, Theo approached a cell of metal bars. Placing his two hands on the metal grate, he yanked off the gate that prevented his passage.
Inside the cell, there were 11 Demi-Human children and 7 abused women, probably victims of both **** and torture. Their eyes were no different from someone who had hit rock bottom and had no hope or desire to live anymore.
Theo was not so cold-hearted to explain to each of them what was going on here, so he put them to sleep and transferred them into his Dimensional Room.
Still irritated from the cruelty he witnessed, Theo continued on his way to yet another room. Although it was not like the other one, this one had the bloodstained metal door, too.
