There was no need to guess. This human-body diagram had to be Mother.
Maybe once all the puzzle pieces were complete, she would come back to life?
That wasn't just alarmist speculation. Plenty of conspiracy theories went that way.
Fang Cheng suppressed the thought. There was no point worrying about what might happen later when he could think about something practical instead.
For example, now that both his arms belonged to Mother, would they snatch the loot away from him the next time he touched a corpse?
If he used Mother's arms to touch himself, would that count as masturbation or sexual harassment?
While he was mulling over all that nonsense, Fang Cheng saw Li Yu return with the others.
She had found the Proof.
Once all the Proof had fused together, it became a glowing orb the size of an egg, radiating a gentle white light.
Li Yu opened her palm, and the orb floated above it.
The three monsters gazed at the orb with burning eyes. Whoever possessed it could become the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters. It was the longing and instinct of every monster.
But as the saying went, what I gave you was yours. What I didn't give you, you couldn't take.
So all three suppressed their urges. Who would dare snatch something from Li Yu?
Tamamo-no-Mae and Ibaraki-doji looked dejected, but Ugou Mirai was excited. The orb would soon be hers.
Once she obtained the power of the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters, the first thing she'd do was beat every girl around Fang Cheng into submission and seize Vice-Captain Kanzaki Rin's position.
If Tamamo-no-Mae and Ibaraki-doji knew that after obtaining the power every monster dreamed of, Ugou Mirai only wanted it to win a lover's quarrel, would they risk everything to fight her?
