Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1314: The Mad Scientist’s Obsession
Chapter 1314: The Mad Scientist’s Obsession
With a mere flick of his hand, he could annihilate a swath of Savage Beasts, as if shredding them apart with sheer force.
Sycamore’s eyes gleamed with excitement, his expression growing increasingly frenzied.
He nearly pressed his entire face against the screen.
"Fascinating... absolutely fascinating. This human is incredible! I must have him. If I can study him, I might achieve even more astonishing results!"
Orlyn’s expression darkened. "Professor Sycamore, right now we are being forced to retreat because of him. If we could capture him, I’d gladly provide him as an experimental subject for you."
"If he were alive, that would be ideal. But if that’s not possible, then I don’t need a living specimen. A dead one will do just fine," Sycamore’s voice was laced with icy detachment. "Don’t tell me you have no way to kill one human. I refuse to believe that."
Orlyn hesitated. "But that weapon is too destructive. It could harm us as well. And didn’t you want to preserve this experimental base? If we deploy the ultimate weapon, the base will be destroyed too."
"Oh, that?" Sycamore waved dismissively. "If I can obtain this specimen, then let the base be destroyed."
Orlyn cursed inwardly.
This man changed his mind way too fast!
"I understand. I’ll handle it now," Orlyn finally relented.
Just as he was stepping out, Kenny Lin, on the monitor, suddenly lifted his head and locked eyes with Sycamore, who had been staring at him obsessively.
Sycamore froze for a moment before an ecstatic grin spread across his face. "This human is indeed powerful. Did he just sense me watching him? Such keen perception!"
Far from deterring him, this only made him want him even more.
"His strength is immense. Even when facing thousands of Savage Beasts, he hasn’t shown a trace of fear. His power might be on par with the King... no, perhaps even greater than the King’s! If he truly is human, then to have honed his fragile human body to this level... his genes must be even more exceptional than I imagined. I must have him!" Sycamore’s eyes burned with obsession, nearly fanatical.
The others in the monitoring room overheard his words and couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Was Professor Sycamore overestimating this human too much?
Saying he was as strong as the King might be barely believable, but stronger than a King?
That was absolutely impossible.
In their universe, the Kings were the supreme rulers standing at the very peak.
Due to certain unavoidable factors, the Kings had weaknesses, but their overwhelming strength was undisputed.
Even if the Andromeda Universe advanced its technological civilization by another level, it still wouldn’t be possible to defeat the King.
Although Professor Sycamore was no ordinary researcher and was respected for his experimental prowess, no one agreed with his current statement.
They even inwardly scoffed—had he been conducting so many experiments that he’d lost his mind?
Because the aliens were preparing to deploy their ultimate weapon, after Orlyn left the monitoring room, Kenny Lin and his team suddenly encountered fewer Beasts blocking their way.
The number of enemies dwindled, first by dozens, then by only a few at a time.
"What’s going on? Do the aliens really think just a handful of Savage Beasts can stop us?" Sharif and the others were puzzled.
As they advanced, they had already slain nearly ten thousand Savage Beasts and aliens combined.
Now, as they approached the heart of the experimental base, the enemy suddenly seemed to ease up on their resistance.
It didn’t seem like fear—it felt more like they were preparing for something sinister.
Everyone looked at Kenny Lin, waiting to hear his decision.
"You go rescue the captured humans—they’re being held on the left. I’ll take care of them." Kenny Lin slung his sword over his shoulder and strolled forward casually while humming an odd tune under his breath.
Sharif didn’t hesitate and immediately led the rest of the team toward the left.
In this part of the facility, most of the aliens had already retreated.
They encountered little resistance, except for a lone Savage Beast along the way.
It took every ounce of their strength to take down this creature, which had no pain receptors and a terrifyingly durable body.
The sheer difficulty of killing just one reinforced their understanding of Kenny Lin’s power.
They had relied on Kenny Lin to clear the way ahead throughout their advance.
All they had to do was follow him and barely experiencing any real danger.
Only now did they understand why even the Crimson Moon Dynasty was wary when speaking of the Savage Beast army.
Kenny Lin was simply too strong.
Inside the experimental base, Kenny Lin kicked open a massive door—one even more durable than alloy-reinforced barriers, resistant to energy cannon bombardments.
Yet under his foot, it was like a wooden door, caving in and flying backward into the room.
Beyond the threshold stood a group of aliens who had been waiting in ambush.
The heavy door smashed into over a dozen of them, crushing some into pulp while slicing others in half.
All of them died instantly.
Kenny Lin scanned the room and locked eyes with Orlyn, the alien royal.
He was glaring at her with a dark expression, his face twisted with chilling malice.
"Your strength is indeed formidable. If we were to fight one-on-one, I might not be your match..." Orlyn began, but before he could finish, Kenny Lin interrupted.
"Not ’might not be.’ You definitely wouldn’t be my match." Kenny Lin studied him with interest. "You don’t seem like a Solaryx, nor a Scaldriths, nor a Umbrathari One. So, you must be from the fourth royal clans? Damn, you’re so ugly."
Orlyn’s expression flickered.
This human could tell he wasn’t one of the other three royal clans just by looking?
He was probably guessing.
The four royal clans could all shapeshift into human form, though some chose to retain distinguishing features.
Others didn’t care about mimicking humans at all—shapeshifting was simply an ability they possessed, but they remained fundamentally different from humans.
