The deceased test subjects were disposed of in an unknown manner and thrown in, becoming part of the whole...
Looking at the mass of flesh that could hardly be called "alive," Ed slowly reached out his hand.
It's best if such things don't continue to exist; I will carry on their legacy and fulfill the promises I made.
Vines and tendrils hang down from above, and Paralysis Flower on the tender green branches.
A captivating sweetness slowly spread, and the enormous mass of flesh quickly stopped writhing, allowing the vines to envelop it layer by layer.
Ed began yet another round of "digestion," just as he had with the " Rat King " and the "Wooden House Monster."
The life force within this mass of biomass was far greater than Ed had imagined; he felt an uncontrollable burning sensation entering his body through the substances he had absorbed.
In addition to the usual pain that occurs with each absorption, it seems there is also the pain of flesh being peeled off its owner.
Now, all these negative emotions crashed down on Ed, causing his body to convulse uncontrollably on the stone floor. The vines that had been working suddenly went out of control and began to tremble in place. The Little Green in his eye sockets resembled a dying octopus, with green, brown, red, and blue colors alternating.
In a torment that could drive one mad, Ed forced himself to recall the battle that had just occurred and the inevitable fate of Yiden and the others.
The faint, dazed souls residing among the severed limbs and fragments of flesh grasped Ed's hand, completing a act of revenge. In his eyes, he saw the endless torment awaiting his enemies, and finally, he let go of his last obsession, slowly dissipating into the flesh and blood that was being absorbed.
Ed felt like a game character who had been infused with a large amount of Blacklight Virus, his body burning as if he was about to explode.
The instant he regained his senses, he forcefully banished all distracting thoughts and began earnestly guiding that burning passion in the direction he needed, and together with Little Green, he began a deeper self-examination:
[ID: Ed Adrian

---Basic Attributes---

Agility: 10+5
Physical condition: 12+10
Willpower: 20
---Special Attributes---
Plant Compatibility: 14+1

---Talent Abilities---
Inherent Abilities: [ Vitality Touch Mark ], [ Verdant Crown ], [ Otherworldly Half ]
Derivative capabilities:
[ Hybrid Creation: A derivational ability derived from the Vitality Touch Mark, capable of creating new species by mixing the genes of some organisms. Currently limited to plants. The created species do not have stable reproductive capabilities and will undergo uncontrollable mutations after several reproductions.]
[ Form Transformation: A derived ability from the Verdant Crown, capable of selectively expressing one or more biological genes from the gene pool, freely switching between current states and abilities.]
[ Soul Webway: A derivative ability from the Otherworldly Half, capable of summoning otherworldly souls into the lost soul body in this world via the otherworldly network. The first summoning of a single individual must be within the territory. Current maximum soul capacity: 2^11.]
Looking at the panel he had reorganized, Ed felt completely refreshed.
The three derivative abilities were not acquired after the upgrade; he was already able to use them quite flexibly before. This upgrade simply made his self-examination clearer, thus separating the descriptions of these three abilities and displaying them separately.
Leaning against the basement wall, Ed regained control of his body. His body was still burning hot, but it had begun to cool down.
Taking a few deep breaths, Ed closed and opened his single eye again. The vines that had been on strike for a few minutes started working again, and the Little Green in his eye socket returned to its previous state. At this moment, the [ Plant Compatibility ] section on Ed's panel was slightly glowing, indicating that he was currently in the plant category.
As players like [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] developed the Trenbolone- fighting strategy, Ed also synchronized this feature with players in the recent update, which is the one that "optimized some visual effects" to make it easier for them to quickly check their current status.
I glanced at the time; more than ten minutes had passed since Ed came downstairs. The players must be getting impatient, right?
A slight smile played on his lips as he manipulated the vines to upgrade the bodies of the unconscious players.
The otherworldly body's slumber forced many players out of their fully immersed state.
This is the fifth time [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] has woken up in the real world tonight. There's nothing he can do; although he's a relatively veteran player, his actual skills are rather poor. He was killed four times in one night, and the rewards he received were less than others.
Looking at the words "[Body Upgrade in Progress]" displayed inside the helmet, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
There are just too many mysteries in this game. Everyone is not stupid; it's impossible for them not to see the countless suspicious points.
But what can you do about it?
After considering those chilling details, the only difference was that everyone went from playing freely to playing cautiously; there was no fundamental difference.
However, as the only player who died four times, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] discovered a small problem.
That is to say, this game actually seems quite friendly.
Currently, players and casual gamers have two main speculations about the origin of " World of Disorder ": one is that it is a tool used by an unknown organization to train AI, using players' behavior and interactions to improve artificial intelligence; the other is that it is a so-called "alien gift," used to understand this race by observing human behavior in virtual games.
Whether you use them to train AI or as alien technology, if you asked him to strut around holding a man's genitals in real life, he would be so scared his legs would go weak.
But in the game, he not only did it, but more than once. Even when he was being hacked to death, watching his own genitals flow out, he felt almost no fear.
At the time, I saw it and knew about it, but my emotions did not fluctuate significantly.
If I had to say, I'm a little curious.
What's going on?
Is it a filter? Hormone control? A powerful sedative?
Both are possible, but in conclusion, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] seems to confirm one thing: the manipulators behind the game are at least "friendly" to the players for now.
If we call that behind-the-scenes entity "He," then He is like the kind of adult who watches a movie with children and covers their eyes when a bloody scene appears.
Once the gory scenes are over, He will let go of their hands, allowing the children to continue immersing themselves in the movie and ensuring they experience the maximum enjoyment.
