Hundreds of years have passed since Denton decided to find more companions.

The Eye Soul system has been running smoothly.

In order to thank the Great Eye, Adnis spends a lot of time praying for the Great Eye every day between prayers.

He paid attention to Denton, but he had not seen Denton in person for a long, long time.

And the information he got from Adair was always the information that "Denton has given up the experiment and is living happily with his daughter."

So naturally he didn't notice,

During this period, Denton has been cautiously carrying out the activity of "looking for companions"...

…

First, he found compatriots who agreed with his ideals, and then established a trusting relationship bit by bit. Finally, he secretly transported them out of the sleeping room, transformed their bodies with enhanced devices, and made them his companions.

…

These activities become more and more smooth as the operation time of the Eye Soul System is extended.

Because, in addition to no longer having to worry about the red death disease, people who live with eyes and souls have lost many things that they took for granted as human beings in the past.

For example, the most basic human needs such as eating and sleeping.

For another example, they cannot die no matter what. After a long time, they gradually lose the meaning of life, the goal of struggle, etc.

After a long period of accumulation and evolution, these unconscious emotions gradually evolved into dissatisfaction with the eye-soul system.

Denton relied on this to gather more and more compatriots to his side little by little.

…

At the same time, not only Adnis but also Edith did not discover Denton's activities.

He is busy observing the earth.

Yes, Earth.

Through the study of the stele, Edith discovered a way to send inorganic matter back to Earth.

Therefore, after successfully trying to transmit the eye soul back to the earth, Edith often used the eye soul to observe changes in the earth.

This helped Edith relieve the boredom caused by the long period of time, so of course he found neither Denton's activities nor the abnormal emotions of the beholder residents towards the eye-soul system.

…

Another long period of time passed.

Edith remains aloof and unconcerned with worldly matters.

Adnis, on the other hand, has become more and more arrogant.

The time he spent between prayers became longer and longer, and the time he spent meeting people in the city became shorter and shorter.

Instead, a group of personal guards led by Gairo patrolled the streets for Adnis and summarized what they observed and reported to Adnis.

Then, I don’t know when this inspection turned into surveillance.

People began to fear Gailuo and others who were patrolling the streets, and did not dare to show their true appearance to them.

They pretended not to have any dissatisfaction in front of Jia Yiluo and continued to live, but they quietly contacted each other in private and expressed their dissatisfaction.

Denton kept an eye on them and looked for opportunities to pull them into his camp.

In this way, as people gathered around Denton, more and more people became strengthened and transformed.

The story of Denton's search for fellow cyborgs gradually spread.

And finally reached the ears of Adnis.

…

"What!? You said Denton is conducting experiments to create the ultimate evolved human being?"

Listening to Gairo's report, Adnis's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Not only that, Denton is also gathering his companions and transforming them so that they can live in their own bodies under this red sky..."

Gairo's report continued, but Adnis could no longer listen.

A strong anger swept through his heart.

In Adnis' view, this world where the eye-soul system operates is extremely beautiful, and it is an ideal world where people can live happily.

But now, Denton wants to destroy it!

At this moment, Adnis did not consider the significance of the success of "Denton's enhanced transformation experiment" at all.

All he could think about now was that Denton had disobeyed his orders and Denton was destroying this ideal world!

Adnis ordered Gairo angrily.

"Summon Denton! If he resists, bring him here by force!"

During this period, Adair was questioned by his brother Argos, but was forgiven by Adnes on the grounds that "Adair was young and Denton was clever".

It's just that Adnis, who was in anger, didn't notice that Adele not only failed to reflect on his gratitude for his understanding, but also showed an even colder look in his eyes.

…

Denton, who was moving on the street, was stopped by Gailuo and his men.

Denton, who had already expected this, smiled.

Even the high-ranking Adnis can hear the news, how could Denton, who has been active in the city, not know?

Therefore, he has already prepared for this moment.

"Denton, Lord Adnis has summoned you!"

"I've been waiting for a long time. It's coming so slowly."

Denton calmly turned around. Rather than being escorted to Adnis by Gailo, it was better to say that Denton came to Adnis on his own initiative...in order to make a break, or to make the next letter of challenge.

…

Looking at Denton in front of him, Adnis felt a little strange in a daze.

How long has it been since he saw this old friend directly?

Adnis found that it was such a long time that he could no longer remember it.

But immediately, that little daze was immediately dispelled by the anger in his heart.

"Denton, are you the one who secretly transports people out of their slumber, wakes them up and transforms them?"

"It's me."

"Why? I should have explicitly ordered you not to do that!"

"For people's happiness!"

"What did you say!?"

For Adnis, this is an answer he can't think of now.

Denton seemed not to see the surprise on Adnis's face, and reiterated his idea again in this time and space thousands of years later.

"People should evolve on their own strength, live with their own bodies without resorting to unknown forces, this is the right thing!"

Everything seems to have returned to the night before the official operation of the Eye Soul System a thousand years ago.

Adnis approached Denton, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and scolded: "Are you planning to destroy the beholder's world?"

"No, on the contrary, I want to save the world of beholders, and I want to prove that my idea is correct, so please let me strengthen and transform everyone's bodies!"

Denton sincerely requested.

"No! I won't allow this to happen!"

Adnis's refusal was as persistent as ever.

Hearing this, Denton was silent for a moment, pushed Adnis's hand away from his shoulder, and smiled slowly.
Chapter completed!
