Standing on the foreigners' ironclad ship, Hyuga Kagami enjoyed the sea breeze while maintaining the seal on the "Gelel Ore Vein."
Only then did he secretly feel fortunate that he had saved Timsy in the underground palace earlier. Otherwise, moving such a massive "Gelel Ore Vein" by himself would not have been easy.
Meanwhile, on the ironclad ship, Timsy had already freed his companions, who had been deceived by Hyde, from the mutation devices one by one.
It turned out that the burly foreign warriors in heavy armor who had followed Hyde were all monsters created by mutating boys and girls the same age as Timsy through Hyde's mechanical devices.
These youths, including Timsy, who had been beguiled by Hyde's slogan of building an ideal nation, were all, without exception, expendable tools for that ambitious man.
Out of curiosity, Hyuga Kagami also examined the mutation devices.
With his discernment, it was not difficult for him to see that Hyde's mutation devices were essentially gene fusion devices. Hyde collected the genes of certain animals and forcibly fused them into human bodies, causing partial mutations and granting people animal abilities.
Hyde himself, along with the three foreign female knights who served as his confidants, were all products of this gene fusion.
Once he understood the principle behind it, Hyuga Kagami immediately lost interest.
This primitive and brutal form of gene fusion was, in truth, a contamination of one's own genes. Even if one was lucky enough to survive the fusion, they would still become a half-human, half-beast monster.
Moreover, genetic mixing between different species was extremely unstable. One might sleep peacefully one night, only to become a monster that had lost its consciousness and memories, with nothing but beastly instincts remaining, by the next day.
Thus, Hyuga Kagami utterly disdained it!
