Wuzhuo had been behaving himself in the Saine Laboratory lately.
The former Level-12 Peak Temple Lord of Evil Swamp Time-Space was now secured by hundreds of Mechanical Rule Chains inside a deeply isolated experimental pool.
The pool's outer layer was the Ash-Silver Mechanical Barrier.
Its inner layer was filled with constantly shifting, pale-black magic runes.
At regular intervals, a sample of destruction crystal tide was injected deep into Wuzhuo's origin of pollution. Saine would then mobilize mechanical runes and the Final Silence Ash Crystal to suppress the restlessness of that trace of destruction factor.
The process was quite painful.
Wuzhuo had no fixed facial features, but every violent contraction of his pollution cloud made it clear that these experiments were no easy ordeal.
Yet he never asked to stop.
Not only did he never ask to stop, Wuzhuo even volunteered to increase the frequency of the experiments.
Because he could clearly feel himself recovering.
This was not simply a matter of healing his injuries.
It was reshaping the path of his origin.
The Lord of Evil Swamp had once drained a large portion of his origin, forcing him down to Level-12 Late-Stage. Traces of the Lord of Evil Swamp's mark also remained within him, impossible to remove completely. During that time, Wuzhuo had seen almost no hope of returning to his peak.
Not until he followed Saine into the Destruction Time-Space beyond the Bronze Gate.
The destruction crystal tide washed over his origin of pollution, wearing away the mark the Lord of Evil Swamp had left inside him.
Pollution and destruction should never have been so easy to blend.
Yet Wuzhuo had found a glimmer of possibility.
Saine seized that possibility and broke it down into hundreds of millions of pieces of experimental data.
