Theft and Devouring

The Scarlet Count had not been wrong, nor had he exaggerated. Abyssal Demon Technology was exceedingly rare, existing only among a handful of Old Kings.

Dr. Swollen, who followed at their side, knew his own limits well.

He had merely wanted to witness a finished product of Abyssal Demon Technology here. He had never imagined he would be capable of mastering and controlling such technology.

Still, Dr. Swollen had always harbored a suspicion.

The Old King Gear he had obtained from the Stuart ruins was also a type of bio-mechanical creation. Could it have originated from Abyssal Demon Technology as well?

However, the relationships between Old Kings, their secrets, and their various rules were far too numerous.

Even a Mature Body like the doctor found it difficult to see through them. If he wanted to understand the nature of the gear inside his brain, he would have to speak face-to-face with M.O., the Ghoul King.

Interesting.

Just then,

The gray-black oval chamber activated by Han Dong completed the cultivation of the Experimental Subject inside.
