"Mm... you could say it was destroyed," Feng Ling answered calmly.
Meteor did not grow suspicious. To her, the fact that Black Spot had survived for so long was already a miracle.
"His Corruption Value wasn't low to begin with. Digesting the Abyss Mother Nest was a risky move. This Abyss Card increased Black Spot's Corruption Value by 38%..."
"A single Card raised it by 38%?!" Ye Zheng was shaken and could not help interrupting Meteor.
"Yes." Meteor nodded slightly and continued, "Black Spot's Corruption Value was 19%. After digesting the Abyss Card, it reached 57%. He went berserk on the spot, and his genes collapsed."

Meteor answered calmly, "What you mentioned is a standard value. In reality, everyone has different levels of tolerance. Some people become paranoid and delirious once their Corruption Value exceeds 20%, while others can remain rational even at 30%. But Black Spot did not suffer genetic collapse immediately.

Even if his body had not mutated yet, his heart had already twisted into that of a monster. He would keep attacking living things and absorbing more Cards. It was
