World 4.
Sitting atop the Divine Tree, Shinji carefully read through each report Amado had sent over.
These reports covered some of the Research Institute's latest achievements. At their core was undoubtedly Orochimaru's unprecedented fusion ritual.
Amado had made extremely detailed records of the entire ritual, from its preparations and execution to its conclusion. They included video, audio, and all kinds of complicated data.
