"Poor things..."
After Yakushi Kabuto had vented his earlier excitement, he returned to normal.
He glanced at the seven Tailed Beasts sealed within the barrier.
Yakushi Kabuto thought for a moment, then sighed.
"Who asked me to be kind?"
He slightly moved his fingers, and the sealing barrier below immediately changed shape.
The originally enclosed spaces gathered together.
Although it was still pitch-black, the seven Tailed Beasts now occupied the same space.
As living, intelligent beings, Yakushi Kabuto had been shaped by the Empire's education from childhood. Even though he was accustomed to seeing countless white mice tortured in experiments, he could not bear to let these enormous lives exist in endless loneliness.
They had no choice in being energy pillars here, nor could they choose their environment.
But he could give them a chance to communicate and relieve their boredom.
This involved his own principles and moral standards.
The white mice had no choice in their deaths because their sacrifices served to advance the Empire.
Moreover, during experiments on the white mice, everything they ate and used was of the highest quality, aside from the experimental effects and conditions.
In the Empire, so long as an experiment was legal and compliant, they would never be left hungry today to save food simply because they were going to die tomorrow.
Such conduct not only violated basic humanitarian principles but would also gradually erode the humanity of the experimenters in the long run.
Therefore, one had to always uphold moral boundaries and ethical standards to ensure the fairness and scientific integrity of experiments. Only then could the value and meaning of scientific research truly be realized.
