Chapter 1461: The Black Ship Incident in the Underworld! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Master Four Tones Incomplete)
Ten minutes later.
Six separate virtual screens appeared before Dae.
The first screen still showed Director Fritz and the strange man named Caesar.
The second screen showed a man with a sturdy, round physique, a golden ponytail at the back of his head, and purple lips.
He was said to be a Doctor named Queen, a Sea Star Person.
The third screen showed a black-haired man with a handsome face, fair skin, a gentle expression, but a somewhat effeminate temperament.
His name was Muzan Kibutsuji, also a Doctor, said to be from the Demon Slayer World.
The fourth screen showed an unremarkable middle-aged man with grayish-green hair.
He was said to be a senior researcher from the Kabaneri World.
The person in the fifth screen had a temperament very similar to Doctor Muzan.
He was introduced as a senior researcher named Orochimaru from the Ninja World, and like that Chunin Kazahana Yuki, he was also a ninja.
However, since he was a researcher, his strength shouldn't be very high.
The last screen showed a young-looking blonde woman.
Perhaps because Claymore Warriors are all blonde, Dae took a couple more glances.
According to Director Fritz's introduction, the other party was a senior researcher from the Empire Arms World, and also an alchemist in the biochemical field.
Alchemy.
Another ability that only exists in legends, it's truly becoming more and more exciting.
“Then, the introductions from both sides are concluded.”
“The defense meeting officially begins.”
Director Fritz looked at Dae and said, “A reminder again, I hope you can take this defense seriously.”
“Because it directly relates to whether you can enter the Biochemical Research Institute, and the researcher level you will be granted after entering.”
“And the researcher level not only relates to your living standards, but also to the level of research resources you can access.”
Dae naturally understood the importance, nodded, and replied, “I will definitely give it my full strength!”
“Good, then please explain your research process so far within one hour, as well as the technology and theory involved, and showcase your strengths as much as possible.”
After Director Fritz finished speaking, Dae took a deep breath.
First, he spent five minutes clearing his thoughts in his mind and organizing the sentence he was about to say.
Because he knew he couldn't make any mistakes.
“Hoo————”
Immediately, Dae began narrating his understanding of Dragon Descendants, Yoma, and Claymore Warriors over the past hundred years, including his research insights into Yoki Power, mental energy, and Awakening.
He skipped all the stories and mental journeys that happened during that time, as well as explanatory content.
The former was because they were meaningless, while the latter was because he believed these people could understand.
Or rather, he was also using this method to judge the level of these people.
Soon, an hour quickly passed during Dae's detailed narration.
However, he took over half an hour longer to finish the narration.
Director Fritz, Queen, Muzan, Orochimaru, and the others didn't interrupt or rush him. They were all listening and thinking patiently, occasionally recording notes in their notebooks.
This made Dae feel unprecedented respect and was moved by meeting like-minded people.
Even though they didn't say a single word, their eyes were enough to prove they understood!
Indeed.
Over the next hour or so, these seven people took turns asking him questions.
The professional nature of their questions almost brought Dae to tears.
Even if there were some questions he couldn't answer, and they were difficulties he had always been unable to solve, he was still very happy.
What made Dae even more excited was that these people weren't just asking questions.
During the discussion, they would also express their thoughts after thinking, as well as potential solutions.
Although there was a lot of content he didn't fully understand.
“Then, everyone, please evaluate Mr. Dae's defense just now.”
Director Fritz continued to serve as the host at this time.
Queen, with a cigar in his mouth, smiled and said, “Yo, I think it's not bad, quite something, but the foundation is too poor!”
Muzan Kibutsuji: “Indeed, many parts of the theory are based on speculation, or rather, intuition.”
Zhuang Wei: “Very much like how I used to be. This isn't his fault; it's the era the world is in that limited him.”
Dorothea praised, “But his talent is truly amazing! He was actually able to gain some understanding of mental energy and emotions in such a harsh research environment, and even conducted experiments and achieved results!”
Orochimaru licked his lips: “I noticed he also has theories about souls. When the time comes, I can let him see the appearance of a soul with his own eyes.”
Dae was astonished to find that these people were openly discussing his defects and areas needing improvement right in front of him.
After listening for a while, most of the evaluations were that his knowledge was insufficient, his theory wasn't systematic, and his technology was very crude, but his talent was quite good.
To be honest, Dae felt a bit ashamed, but not angry, though he did feel a slight sense of defiance.
He was the top researcher in this world!
But he overlooked that his research results over the past hundred years were obtained bit by bit through speculation and countless experiments.
Even the research equipment was something he figured out and built himself.
In this situation, it was almost impossible to call it professional; it truly relied entirely on talent and intuition, supported by countless corpses.
To give one example, the 'Half-Human Half-Yoma Technique' he developed still cannot heal the surgical wounds on the abdomen.
Of course, being able to reach the current research level in a medieval environment is already extremely outstanding.
But now Dae was facing the defense meeting of the Biochemical Research Institute!
“Then, let's begin the vote on Mr. Dae's defense results.”
Director Fritz said, “Those who agree to recruit Mr. Dae as a special talent into the Biochemical Research Institute, please raise your hands.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Queen, Caesar, Muzan, Zhuang Wei, Orochimaru, Dorothea, and Director Fritz himself all raised their hands simultaneously.
This made Dae feel relieved.
“Those who agree that Mr. Dae's research level has reached intern researcher, please raise your hands.”
The seven people raised their hands again. Then Director Fritz successively asked about entry grade researcher and intermediate researcher.
For entry grade researcher, five out of the seven raised their hands. Director Fritz and Caesar did not raise their hands.
This made Dae's heart sink. He didn't expect the Director himself to think he hadn't reached entry grade researcher.
Just when he thought it was over, Director Fritz continued to ask questions.
For intermediate researcher, four out of the seven raised their hands. This time, Muzan also didn't raise his hand.
However, when asked if he had reached the senior researcher level, no one raised their hand.
“Then, let's announce the result. Congratulations, Mr. Dae, from today onwards, you are an intermediate researcher of my Biochemical Research Institute. Recently, personnel from CIPHER POL1 will escort you to their world. May I ask if you have any relatives or friends in the Ancestral World who need to accompany you?”
“No.”
“Then, do you have any other questions?”
“Yes!”
Dae quickly replied, “May I ask if I can still research Yoma there?”
Director Fritz smiled and said, “Of course you can, otherwise why would we recruit you?”
“At the Biochemical Research Institute, everything from Yoma Dragons and Dragon Descendants above, down to the so-called Abyssal Ones and Awakened Beings below, will be your research materials.”
“Of course, with your current researcher level, you probably won't be able to access Yoma Dragons and Dragon Descendants yet, but that's alright, they will be waiting for you in the prison cells!”
Dae became more and more surprised as he listened: “Yoma Dragon!”
“You're not referring to the source of the Dragon Descendant bloodline, the Dragon served by the Roman Empire, are you? Do you have a way to capture it?”
“That's an existence that is countless times stronger than an Abyssal One, a legend said to have lived for nearly a thousand years!”
Hearing the word 'thousand years', Muzan Kibutsuji's mouth twitched.
Another creature that has lived for a thousand years, why does it feel like they're everywhere?
“Shurorororo~, of course we don't have a way, after all, that's not something we need to do.”
Caesar stood beside Director Fritz and said:
“We are only responsible for stating our requirements. As for how to lock the Yoma Dragon in prison and have it obediently researched by us.”
“That's a matter for the Military, the ASC, and Impel Down. You'll slowly get used to these things in the future.”
Director Fritz nodded: “Caesar is right, we only need to be responsible for research, the rest is not our concern.”
“What about Priscilla, and that Destroyer, and... and Isley, Riful, and the others?”
Dae was so excited his voice trembled slightly.
Director Fritz smiled: “Of course, they will all be here. You will definitely be able to see them here, such as that Isley, the Abyssal Eater.”
“This old man received news yesterday that he is already on the way here under escort.”
“Oh, and also that half-dead 'Dragon Descendant' you had in your collection at the Greatsword Organization.”
“However, this old man doesn't think this one has much value, because we will definitely be able to capture a batch of more lively ones by then.”
Dae was completely stunned.
Good heavens, this world seems to be theirs for the taking.
However, thinking about being able to safely research a group of lively Dragon Descendants in the future, as well as Abyssal Ones like Isley, Riful, and Priscilla.
And even witnessing the Yoma Dragon itself with his own eyes, he felt like he was living in a beautiful dream.
He only hoped now that the World Government could truly pull it off.
As for the news that the Greatsword Organization was suspected to have been destroyed, Dae was completely indifferent.
In comparison.
He was more concerned about how those Claymore Warriors were doing, hoping there wouldn't be too many casualties.
For Dae, every Claymore Warrior was his work.
He hoped to continuously improve and optimize these works.
“Oh, right, Mr. Dae, according to intelligence, your body has been modified, right?”
At this moment, Director Fritz spoke again.
Dae didn't evade the question: “Yes, in order to extend my research time, I have modified all of my internal organs.”
“In a sense, I am also Half-Human Half-Yoma, except I cannot control Yoki Power, nor can I fight.”
Actually, the first person to transplant Yoma internal organs into his own body was himself.
In terms of technology, it naturally belonged to the most basic and crudest level.
But he didn't care at all, as long as he could live and it didn't affect his learning, research, and experiments.
“Since that's the case, after you arrive here, we will first address your physical issues.” Director Fritz said.
Dae frowned: “Forgive my frankness, this shouldn't be that easy, and the risk should be very high. Having finally encountered such an opportunity, I don't want to die due to an accident.”
He thought the other party was going to conduct some human experimentation on him.
But who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, the other six people immediately burst into laughter, each with their own distinct laugh.
Muzan Kibutsuji teased, “Director, you should wait until he arrives and finishes touring our Research Institute before saying that.”
Orochimaru nodded: “Cherishing one's research time, I appreciate this point. As a scientist, seeking longevity is even the correct behavior.”
“Alright, alright, let's leave it at that!” Director Fritz said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Then, this special talent defense meeting is officially concluded. Thank you for your hard work, everyone, and thank you, Mr. Dae. We look forward to your arrival.”
“Thank you.”
Dae heard the playfulness in their words, but he didn't think his caution was wrong. After all, life is only once.
Uh, thinking about the three No. 1s he resurrected using Priscilla's arm flesh and blood, he felt that life wasn't just once.
But who would go to such great lengths to resurrect him?
In short, Dae was very much looking forward to life after joining the Biochemical Research Institute.
There was a group of like-minded people who were even more outstanding than himself!
Just as various developments were in full swing in the real world.
Strange things were also happening in the Underworld, the domain of the deceased, which only exists in myths and legends.
Claymore Underworld.
Two pitch-black Underworld River waters intersected in the Central District, dividing the Underworld Land into four areas.
It was simply a replica of Claymore Island.
But the light here was much brighter than in other Underworlds.
Although the sky was also gray, it didn't give people a sense of oppression.
It didn't feel much like the Underworld; instead, it felt more like the Human World on a cloudy day.
A little rain would make the atmosphere even stronger.
Suddenly.
From the northeast Underworld River entrance/exit, a black warship sailed in.
On the surface of the equally pitch-black sail hanging high on the mast, a white Five-Circle Cross was printed.
Tatsumi, who was already a Vice Admiral in the Underworld Army Headquarters, was seen standing on the deck, wearing a purple Coat of Justice and carrying a black-sheathed long saber at his waist, his sharp eyes scanning the situation on the shore back and forth.
Standing behind him were the siblings Gyutaro and Daki.
One was an Underworld Army commodore, the other an Underworld Army senior colonel, and their temperaments were also vastly different from when they were alive.
They had lost some of the evil of being 'Demons' and gained some of the temperament of soldiers.
They had also experienced a lot in the Underworld over the past few years. Many souls in the military were officers and soldiers when they were alive, and under the subtle influence of the larger environment, they gradually became normal.
However, the most important reason was that in this Underworld, they didn't need to eat, or rather, eat souls.
Firstly, souls only felt thirst, not hunger.
Because souls only needed to drink Yellow Spring Water to maintain normal stamina.
If they did feel hunger, it meant they had become evil spirits.
Secondly.
Now, the Yama Court had long ago researched the technology to manufacture ingredients with realistic flavors using Reishi.
Eating souls and eating these food items were essentially the same. But in terms of taste, it was like comparing eating real food to eating models made of dirt.
Coupled with the sufficient supply of Yellow Spring Water.
This caused these 'Demons' from the Demon Slayer World to increasingly resemble humans.
Furthermore, eating souls was a crime.
Once discovered, they would be treated as evil spirits and escorted to the Hell Path Division for trial.
Therefore, they didn't dare to do so.
“Have we finally arrived?”
At this moment, a charming and sexy female voice sounded from behind.
Tatsumi turned around to look at the mature form Yama who walked out from the cabin door and respectfully replied, “Yes, this is the Claymore Underworld.”
“Since that's the case, let's begin the conquest. Focus on searching for the woman named Teresa!”
Yama raised her slender, fair finger and issued the order, a curious gleam flickering in her eyes.
She really wanted to know how outstanding this woman that Father had taken a liking to was, so she came along directly.
“As you command!”
Behind them, one Underworld Boat after another, with sails bearing the Five-Circle Cross, sailed in.
Each deck was filled with Battle Spirits from various worlds.
However, this time, the figures of those Kabaneri were not seen.
Because they lacked much rationality, Yama hoped to leave a better impression on Teresa.
After all, everyone would definitely be meeting frequently in the future.
