The Lowest Level of the Tenth Abyss.
Ater, his entire body flowing with Golden Liquid, was deep inside the Swollen Cathedral, gradually having the character for "madness" carved onto him.
Even though Ater had willingly chosen to accept this madness, the carving process was still extremely difficult and slow.
After all, once the carving was complete, all the Cancer Cells would lose the absolute freedom they had once possessed, and the Tumor Emperor's divinity would be stripped of its initiative.
The most basic genetic fragments within Ater's body synthesized proteins as quickly as possible, trying to prevent the process.
William and Ater's communication seemed "friendly," but that was limited to the wording.
In essence, this was education—and professional, one-on-one education conducted by William face-to-face.
No matter how beautifully the process was described, it was still the victor imposing "punishment" on the defeated.
William incarnated as a sculptor and personally carved the walls inside the cathedral, walls that were constantly erupting with fluid and sprouting tentacles at every moment.
When the final carving was completed, the cathedral bells rang.
The ongoing "self-detonation process" was forcibly withdrawn by a restraining force from the mental plane. The fireworks that should have bloomed at the bottom of the abyss abruptly came to an end.
William's mad brain immediately received a string of extremely important notifications.
