CHAPTER 366: CHAPTER 135 EXPERIMENT_4

However, the steps of the cloning experiment were not yet completed.

The individual before G3 had reached almost the final stage of cultivation before being abandoned.

During the cultivation process, it believed that this clone still had the potential for repair,

so upon discovering the heart deformity, it first surgically repaired a portion, then continued cultivation.

It wasn’t until the clone was fully matured that it was determined the heart deformity was irreparable, thus it was abandoned.

So now, G3 needs to continue cultivation to ensure the same process.

Wait, something’s amiss.

Just as G3 was about to proceed with the separate cultivation of the deformed individual, it suddenly noticed a blip on the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation Detector beside it.

The instrument detected a spiritual energy fluctuation.

And it wasn’t from the mass of deformed flesh stored elsewhere.

The spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from the heart in the cultivation chamber that had just completed its cultivation stage and was still slightly deformed.

As a Dusk, G3 felt a long-lost surge of excitement.

It immediately documented the cultivation data, preparing to report to superiors.

However, suddenly another spiritual energy fluctuation emerged from another clone, also coming from the heart area.

The monitoring equipment of the other clone’s cultivation chamber immediately displayed the scan data.

This clone, which had already commenced and reached the final cultivation stage, was intended as Chen Ming’s Enlightenment Nerve transplant backup clone.

Its originally intact heart suddenly exhibited eerie deformities.

Deformities just like that mass of twisted flesh.

Then, a third spiritual energy fluctuation appeared, with another chamber exhibiting similar conditions.

Then the fourth, fifth, sixth...

Dozens of clone hearts all exhibited deformities together, just seconds prior, their hearts were all healthy and intact.

In this ominous scenario, G3 sensed danger.

It immediately cut off the power supply to all life-support systems in the chambers and injected toxic reagents into each chamber while sending out a report.

However, cutting the power was useless against these formed "entities," and the toxic reagents failed to have the intended effect.

The deformed hearts remained completely unaffected.

Moreover, amid the increasingly frequent and dense spiritual energy fluctuations, a kind of resonance seemed to occur.

The spiritual fluctuations grew more intense, severely interfering with the Cloning Research Institute’s communication devices, preventing G3’s message from being sent out.

It had to deal with the issue personally.

Yet within mere seconds.

These twisted deformed clone hearts, seemingly united by shared genes from Chen Ming and the ongoing resonance of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Their heartbeats also began to synchronize, unifying from chaotic disparate frequencies.

As if the institute sprouted dozens, no, now it’s become dozens, of hearts suddenly interlinking their blood vessels.

Blood tissue intertwined with veins and arteries, forming a massive deformed heart.

The sight filled G3 with an indescribable unease.

It was the first time in its life it felt this emotion.

And worse still.

An unknown fault arose in the institute’s power system, completely paralyzing the institute’s facade system.

Heavy heartbeats and spiritual energy fluctuations resonated through the darkened institute.

Only the independent security circuits remained operational, allowing G3 to monitor everything inside the institute.

At that moment, G3 heard the sound of glass being struck in the cultivation chamber.

The first deformed heart from its subsequent cloning experiment had become active, relentlessly pounding against the cultivation chamber.

Its myocardial tissue damaged from the impact, the liquid in the chamber gradually stained red with blood.

Even with night vision and thermal imaging, the monitoring system struggled to clearly see inside the chamber.

Only a vague, twisting mass could be seen attempting to escape its prison.

Fortunately, the chamber’s strength was high, and the newly cultivated deformed heart’s efforts seemed futile.

But then a sound of flesh being torn apart reached G3.

Another clone whose heart was affected and deformed had its chest ripped open, flesh and ribs protruding outside.

From inside emerged a twisted "spiritual creature," identical to the originally discovered mass of deformed flesh.

It possessed a cellular structure far more formidable than the freshly differentiated deformed heart.

A single impact, spilling copious blood, left a noticeable crack in the cultivation chamber.

G3 immediately activated the institute’s security system.

Several robots previously engaged in cultivation work suddenly revealed an arsenal of weapons, and fixed turrets emerged from various walls within the institute.

Commencing a sweep of the cultivation chamber’s interior.

Lasers, flames, bullets, and flesh sprayed amidst the vast darkness of the Cloning Research Institute.

The newly born deformed flesh masses were still extremely fragile, even as spiritual creatures, unable to withstand the crossfire from all directions.

Yet careful observation revealed that some scattered flesh remained active.

They moved, seeping through the gaps in doors separating different rooms in the institute.

Deliberately blocking the direction of the room where G3 discarded abandoned clones and the direction of the initially discovered deformed flesh mass.

G3 had no time to intercept all the scattered flesh.

And within the freezer room, signs of life began to appear on many long-deceased corpses.

Even some already dead, long-frozen clone corpses began exhibiting the same condition as those in the external cultivation chambers.

Chest cavities tearing open with bloody holes, the hearts inside vanished.

Only traces of blood near the vent in the freezer’s corner hinted at their destination.

G3 swiftly lost control over the institute.

Despite the presence of numerous armed robots, it was so.

For by now, all the hearts in the cultivation chamber’s clones had burst out of the bodies that were supposed to host them.

In the corners of the cultivation chamber, beyond the robots’ reach.

The shredded muscle tissue of the deformed hearts began to coalesce, with myoblasts binding the fragments together.

A massive, shape-defying lump of flesh formed, no, not shape-defying.

For from above, a gigantic deformed heart could be seen growing on the institute’s floor.

G3’s earlier sensation became reality.

The gigantic deformed heart abruptly resumed beating; at that moment, vehement spiritual energy fluctuations swept through the entire institute.

All operational robots were rendered inoperable, enveloped by, infiltrated by, and shut down by the conglomerated deformed flesh.

The institute fell completely.

And within the most heavily fortified room containing G3’s Alpha Level core in the entire institute.

At some point, trickles of fresh blood began seeping from the previously immaculate ceiling.

Blood dripped onto the Silent Alloy Box storing the Delusion Stone and the Whispering Stone within the room.

Then a mass of flesh plummeted from the ceiling.

With a splat.

Moist flesh swallowed the box amidst a splash of blood.

In the next moment, a drop of blood fell onto G3’s core.
