Longinus and Doflamingo!

"Hallucigenia."

Imu was somewhat surprised to hear that term, because he had nearly forgotten about it.

After Stussy finished recounting the Biochemical Research Institute's report, Imu was even more astonished.

Didn't that mean the World Government, which controlled the Hallucigenia, effectively controlled the fate of the entire Eldian race?

For a moment.

Imu fell into deep thought, while Stussy silently stood before the desk and waited.

What use was there in possessing a method capable of instantly wiping out all Eldians?

Using it to threaten them into serving the World Government?

That seemed redundant, because even without the Hallucigenia, the World Government was fully capable of slaughtering all Eldians—it would merely be a more troublesome process.

As for whether it could be used to threaten Ymir.

To a resentful ghost who had "lived" for over two thousand years yet wholeheartedly sought death, the extinction of the Eldians was hardly threatening.

It might even be exactly what she wanted.

"So the Eldians' Hallucigenia is basically useless to us—tasteless to eat, yet a pity to discard," Imu complained inwardly.

However, those primitive Hallucigenia seemed to offer room for manipulation.

For example, they could create a new Founding Titan.

Then, through that person's bloodline, they could produce new Eldians. By the same logic, they could naturally create a new Ymir, Coordinate Space, and Paths of Bloodline.

The process would simply be rather troublesome and bloody.

First, a primitive Hallucigenia would need to come into contact with a human. Then, after that person gained the power of the Founding Titan, others would have to consume his spinal fluid.

Afterward, those who consumed the spinal fluid would need to continuously reproduce and gradually form a new Eldian race.

And the "Founder" who had been consumed would, in the dimension between the Underworld—the realm of souls—and
