Chapter 3209: TrappedEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Central laboratory area of the research institute.

Wu Yi stayed inside the cabin waiting for news. After more than half an hour without any movement, she couldn’t help but step out to check and found a guard among the spawns to ask.

The guard had been secretly bribed by the Evil Clan, but he was only an external guard and had very limited information. He also did not enjoy the full trust of the Evil Clan and thus was unaware that the intrusion was related to them.

"What happened?"

The guard signaled Wu Yi to come to a secluded spot, then quietly said, "The spawns discovered an intruder. The intruder recently broke into the underground cavern."

"And the intruder? Were they killed or captured?"

"Not sure, but the crisis has been resolved. Martial alert will continue for the next couple of days."

Hearing this, Wu Yi’s expression fluctuated.

Fang Heng must have run into trouble.

What should he do?

After a brief moment of thought, Wu Yi had an idea.

Waiting anxiously here would do no good. It was better to approach the spawns as a collaborator and directly inquire about the situation.

Soon, Wu Yi arrived at the spawns’ main control room, requested a meeting with the research institute’s spawn consul, and tried to subtly gather information about the intruder.

"Don’t worry. The research institute was indeed intruded upon. The intruder has now been isolated and detained. The institute is safe."

The spawn consul did not provide much detail, only giving a simple explanation: "The intruder thought that by using a spirit form they could enter the research institute freely, but they didn’t know we had prepared defenses in advance."

"Soul body? No wonder they managed to infiltrate even with the guards on high alert."

Wu Yi felt anxious but feigned composure, masking surprise, and asked, "I’m curious, how did the enemy know the institute’s location? How much do they know about the Helium research? Was any of the research leaked?"

"Hm, that’s something we’re curious about too." The consul pondered, then stood and said, "We will continue investigating, but not now."

"Why not?"

"There was an unexpected incident."

The consul continued, "While dealing with the intruder, something went wrong, causing the intruder to be drawn into the trial stone tablet."

Trial stone tablet?

Wu Yi looked surprised.

This world contained many divine secret places. Even within the Seven Realms Martial Capital, the explored regions did not amount to one percent.

The Endless Domain existed somewhere in the star domain.

Besides the various Evil Gods of the Endless Domain, many mysterious items circulating in the star domain originated from there.

The trial stone tablet was one of these. It was said to be the creation of a high-tier Evil God.

There were hundreds of bronze stone tablets like it. Each possessed a special strength: once activated, any unconscious touch would transport the user into a special time-space.

Within this space, trials corresponding to the Evil God awaited.

If one passed the trial and became a believer of the Evil God, they could obtain god-like strength.

Previously, Fang Heng had told Wu Yi that he had found something strange on the bronze sacrifice platform at the cavern’s bottom.

Could it be the bronze stone tablet?

Was it related to the Helium research?

"That’s the situation. You may leave; there are still matters to handle in the research institute."

The spawn consul did not wish to explain further and gestured for Wu Yi to leave.

In reality, all the so-called trials of the Evil God were false.

The spawns had fully studied the stone tablet.

The interior of the stone tablet was actually an Evil God space, housing a clone of the Evil God’s will.

All creatures drawn into the tablet became sacrifices to the Evil God.

The spawns had invested considerable effort to acquire the bronze stone tablet. They had developed a second function for it: suppression.

The Evil God within the tablet continuously released mind-affecting auras, luring beings into the Evil God space voluntarily. The bronze tablet could also emit the Evil God’s aura.

The spawns’ obtained remains, stimulated by the aura, would automatically generate energy to resist the intruding Evil God aura.

This kept the remains in a low-energy state, preventing loss of control and allowing the spawns to absorb the energy for research.

Previously, to ensure the remains’ safety, Miguel and the others secretly hid them, but had no time to hide the bronze tablet.

Now trouble had arisen.

Coincidentally, the intruder had been drawn into the Evil God space.

The spawns now had to consider whether the intelligence the intruder carried was worth breaking the bronze tablet.

In the end, the spawn consul abandoned the idea after much hesitation.

Vampires were plentiful.

What if opening the bronze seal freed the Evil God?

Impossible, the risk was too great.

Though the Evil God was not invincible, they lacked methods to handle it.

Moreover, if the bronze tablet were damaged, they would lose control over the remains.

The consul had already assumed the intruder’s death and gestured, saying, "Tell Miguel not to worry about the intruder. The remains need to be continuously suppressed by the Evil God’s aura to prevent accidents. Have him return with the remains as soon as possible."

"Yes."

...

Gray space.

Fang Heng examined the strange spatial structure around him, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

He recalled that the bronze stone tablet and bronze sacrifice platform were connected as one. The moment he touched the stone tablet, he was transported to this strange place.

A dim aura lingered around him, completely cut off from the outside.

"Spatial ability...?"

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he furrowed his brows, realizing that various negative emotions had surfaced in his heart.

But in an instant, the negative emotions were completely suppressed and eradicated by a rising sense of greed.

"A special space that can influence the mind...? This bronze sacrifice platform seems useful. Next time, I must take it along..."

Fang Heng muttered quietly, scanning the figures emerging from the surrounding dark mist.

Hm?!

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat as he focused on a shadow in the distance.

What was over there?

Within the surrounding mist, a pair of dark eyes stared intently at him.

The moment Fang Heng’s gaze met them, Zane suddenly felt a wave of panic, quickly shifting his gaze away to avoid eye contact.

What was happening?

Zane was puzzled.

As an Evil God, he actually felt fear at a human’s gaze?

That guy’s will seemed incredibly strong, capable of resisting his mental invasion—inside the Evil God space, no less.
