Chapter 851: The Giant Deep Well Creature

851. The Giant Deep Well Creature

Countless flickering fiery ashes drifted past as the black-robed figures reappeared outside the supermarket.

"...You can't save those survivors, they're all locked away in the deepest part of the base."

Francis barely maintained a composed expression.

"Although those people have nothing to do with me, and even if you killed them, it wouldn't affect me in the slightest, I figured you might try to use them to threaten me, so I went ahead and helped them out of convenience. If you don't believe me, you can go take a look over there."

Lin Ye had already taken complete control of this place. Without his permission, no one could kill anyone here.

"...You think you've won? You forced my hand."

Francis revealed a slightly crazed smile.

Lin Ye's body instantly turned into black powder and dissipated into the air.

"Now then, let's see how you protect them!"

Francis turned his gaze toward Eve, and black marks appeared on her body.

But those marks vanished just as quickly, as if they had never existed at all.

"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, I'd have had to waste a lot of time here just to deal with it.

If you had attacked those survivors directly just now, I really wouldn't have had any way to handle it."

Lin Ye could indeed deal with that Deep Well creature, but it would have wasted a massive amount of time, and in the end, he might not have gained anything from it. That guy's move just saved him a ton of time.

"You did that on purpose? Just to make me activate overclock mode? How did you know..."

This time, Francis genuinely lost his composure. He could feel the crushing superiority on an intellectual level.

"Because I often use Experimental Subjects as bombs myself. As a researcher, you should have set up something similar.

Remember, never use such an unstable mode in front of another researcher. All it does is expose your Experimental Subject's weaknesses."

Relying on the web base and the Parasitism Network, Lin Ye had already gained preliminary control over that Deep Well creature.

"Lesson learned."

This time, Francis didn't argue back.

"Finished dealing with that over there?"

At some point, Scarlatti had returned to her seat at the front counter.

"There's still a bit of cleanup left... but I'm quite good at handling two tasks simultaneously."

Lin Ye glanced at Scarlatti.

"In that case, I'll take my leave for now. I hope that the next time we meet, you'll still be in your current state."

Francis's body faded and gradually disappeared.

"Wait a moment, you haven't paid yet."

Scarlatti suddenly spoke up.

"...Damn it! You filthy b*tch!"

Francis cursed loudly as a much more solid figure appeared beside the front counter.

"Mind your manners. No cursing."

Countless invisible silk strands stabbed into Francis's body, binding it up like a zongzi.

Francis tossed a golden coin toward the front counter, then began struggling violently, trying every possible method to attack those silk strands.

But this was the place where Lin Ye had established the web base. The web base had already expanded to an incredibly massive scale. Here, even a Near-God couldn't break free from layer upon layer of web restraints.

Combined with the equally vast Parasitism Network, Lin Ye didn't even need to lift a finger to easily restrain Francis.

"I lost this time, but next time, I will definitely kill you all!"

Francis looked at the overlapping webs surrounding it from every direction and could only choose to destroy itself. At least that way, nothing useful would be left behind.

"Too bad, that means no loot this time."

Lin Ye watched Francis destroy itself. Its Consciousness was completely annihilated along with its body, not even a single remnant left behind.

It was the right choice. Give it a bit more time, and it might not even be able to kill itself anymore.

"What did it mean by that? A next time?"

Scarlatti didn't understand why Francis had been so decisive, as if it wouldn't truly die.

"Who knows. Maybe it has some way to resurrect itself, or maybe it just wanted to make us nervous."

Lin Ye didn't pay much attention to the parting words Francis left behind. If it showed up again, he'd just kill it again.

"These researchers really are troublesome."

Scarlatti picked up the coin from the counter and tossed it into the cash register.

"Are you sure that was okay?"

Lin Ye had never considered that Scarlatti would pull Francis's true body all the way here.

"It's fine. It took a piece of merchandise, and I simply made it pay the corresponding price. That's a perfectly reasonable transaction."

Scarlatti answered with a smile.

This was her repayment to the cult.

"Good to hear."

Lin Ye didn't leave the supermarket. Instead, he continued handling this Plane's problems from a distance.

Eve led the parasitic organisms to open passageways to other worlds. The black-robed figures affected by the Deep Well Substance had already returned to their normal state, and they decided to go help the survivors trapped inside the cult base.

Lin Ye continued studying the transformed products of the Deep Well Substance. Little Guardian controlled the Parasitism Network, helping Eve clean up Deep Well creatures in other worlds.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Scarlatti sat down beside Lin Ye and placed an empty cup in front of him.

"I prefer iced drinks with normal sweetness. Something refreshing would be nice."

Lin Ye was studying the body structure of that giant Deep Well creature.

"I prefer rich, warm drinks myself."

Scarlatti took out a kettle and poured Lin Ye a cup of pale green cold beverage, even adding ice cubes to the cup.

Lin Ye took a sip. It was exactly the taste he'd been hoping for.

"How much longer do you need to handle things on your end?"

Scarlatti glanced at the time. She didn't really have anything to do, but she knew Lin Ye was busy.

"Almost done. Once Eve opens a certain number of passageways, I'll be able to use that giant Deep Well creature to absorb all the Deep Well Substance in this Plane."

Without Francis's help, Lin Ye wouldn't have known how to deal with all that Deep Well Substance.

Even with the Rule Fragments, he couldn't convert such a massive amount of Deep Well Substance in a short time.

These Deep Well Substances could be stored inside that giant Deep Well creature.

"Those excess materials can be handed over to me for disposal."

Scarlatti could already anticipate the problem Lin Ye was facing.

"Deep Well Substance isn't something easy to deal with. Without the proper technology, handling it is extremely dangerous."

The residual Deep Well Substance in this Plane was no small amount. Lin Ye decided to place that giant Deep Well creature inside the World of Ashes.

Conveniently, there was a vast Sea floating in the sky of the World of Ashes, and that giant Deep Well creature resembled a massive, plump whale.

"It is indeed a bit troublesome, but I have channels for disposing of dangerous substances."

Scarlatti poured Lin Ye another cup of the drink.

"No need. I can handle it."

With the help of the silk strands, Lin Ye modified the body structure of the giant Deep Well creature, turning it into a part of the Parasitism Network.
