Chapter 1210: Fragments of Truth (1)



Erik made his way to the makeshift interrogation area, a hastily cleared section of a building inside the Law Gate's eastern area. It wasn't much, but it still was something more than

nothing.

Hundreds of Chimaeric Demons stood guard over twenty prisoners, all of them with high enough rank, judging by their uniforms. The captives sat bound in a line against the wall, their faces showing mostly fear, but some defiance.

When Erik first entered the scene, no one was scared of him. Every single time he captured a blackguard for interrogation, they never showed a hint of fear. They showed only insolence, arrogance, and pride.

Yet with all Erik did in the past year, now his name, his face, turned into the very source of fear that the blackguards lacked for years.

Erik Romano had shown these people exactly what he was capable of through his actions, not words. He didn't need to make threats or put on a show of strength. Instead, he proved his power by following through on what he said he would do.

His actions changed the way they saw him. They realized that true power comes from getting things done, not from trying to look intimidating. Yet he proved to them what fear really was.

Without their masks, the blackguards were powerful but regular people-just men and women who had made choices and whose position turned them into monsters.

Their bare faces showed they were still human, displaying fear, worry, and other emotions like anyone else.@@@@

Erik reminded them they were just humans.

"Report," Erik said as he strode into the room. The air inside smelled of copper and smoke- remnants of the battle that had raged hours ago.

A Chimaeric Demon stepped forward. "Master, we started the interrogations, but the prisoners kept silent. Your presence might persuade them to reconsider."

Erik ran his fingers through his hair, still damp with sweat from the earlier fight. Around him, his clones were busy sorting through the captured documents and equipment. "What ranks are we dealing with?"

"Mostly mid-level commanders," the clone said, pointing to a stack of uniforms piled in the corner. "We captured them before they could execute their superiors' suicide protocols. Among them are two logistics officers we caught trying to destroy some documents. We salvaged what we could from the papers they burned."

Erik nodded. "Did they try to resist?"

"Of course they did, Master. No one lets others willingly imprison them."

"No, I mean, after you got them."

"Ah. Yes. Some tried using their brain crystal powers," the clone said. "We subdued them quickly, and after we showed them it would have been futile to try to escape, they stopped." A second Chimaeric Demon stepped forward. "Master, these guys might know about Mur's situation. We might be able to have a general idea of their plans, or at least where to find their last division commander if we read their minds."

Erik paused. "Yeah, this is exactly the reason I am here. I'll start the interrogations as soon as they are ready. Prepare a room. I don't want to waste more time than we already did."

"Yes, Master."

[Most likely, but I can't tell if they are in the right place. I was sleeping when your father took me from there, so I don't know where he found me.]

[Did he say something about it?]

[This means that, for all we know, the place where I was made could still be standing.] Lucius said that he found the biological supercomputer in the Lorogia Region. The problem was that he also said he went to the place after having learned about it from the blackguards. That meant they knew where the Biological Supercomputer was.

[If they are still searching, it means they found nothing where I was kept.]

[I wouldn't expect less. Your father already understood the blackguards went on Mur to find that specific lab, meaning he would have been a fool if he didn't destroy the place.]

procedure.>

[Yeah.]

Then Erik paused. There was something he couldn't understand about all of this.

The system paused for a little. [There are two reasons. The first is that I'm not stupid. More biological supercomputers, especially in the hands of the blackguards, would just bring the world's destruction, and as much as I'm here, I'm bound to live here too.]

[And that is also the second reason. Whoever made me made sure that I wouldn't be the only one around. Even if I do nothing, more of us will be born, some day.]

world to ruins.>

[That's because whatever they find won't be the complete research. Whatever they make won't be like me. This is not the case when you turn. You will have all your memories. You will be able to choose a host and even to avoid getting one. You might even be able to get a thaid as a host, but I have no information about that. In theory, it should work.]

The biological supercomputer paused. [I'm not sure about this, really, but I can make an educated guess. In theory, I spent a lot of time sleeping. Centuries, this means I simply forgot everything. However, mine was a peculiar situation. I was the first of my kind, and I was kept in a lab until 4 years ago. Your case will be different because you will be free to roam around as

soon as you turn.]

The situation was becoming more and more complicated. Erik turned to the prisoner, his face serious and being as threatening as possible.
