Chapter 975: Taking the deal back (1/2)

As soon as Sam saw what was inside this transparent barrier. A blue-colored heart which looked like a human heart beating under the transparent barrier, pumping a blue-colored liquid into the surrounding soil.

This is extremely similar to the Sesh's heart he found when he went to find the meteorite sand island and then it also reminded him of that large pillar competition ground and then the guardian.

To this day, he doesn't know if Sesh's heart placed under the sea which created a poison zone in the sea was related to the guardian. But he sure as hell knew that both hearts are related.

As soon as he saw this, he got the many answers he needed. The mutation might have been caused by the blue liquid that was circulating and if his guess was right, it is demon blood and it affected the entire ecosystem and mutated every living being, and this guy whoever that made this possible might just be a person who is interested in experimenting with different species.

The Azure blood demons and their internal conflict due to jealousy are just a means to an end for him.

If Sam's guess is right, there is no such thing as the special weapon or special power that the demons get from here.

That guy who planted this pumping heart just wants to see how long this whole setup would survive and how mutation it could cause and how much change would happen to the species. And Sam came to this conclusion by the decreasing energy in the blood circulation.

Even though the energy difference is not exactly visible and it can even be considered negligible, Sam is using the observation ability and that ability works because it can even detect the things that are on a negligible level.

The energy in the blood is of limited supply and as Sam extended the range of his observation ability, he got some new information.

The whole setup didn't start with the current blood amount. The setup was started by at least fifty times the current amount of blood. Because there are some cavities made in the earth to contain the blood and most of them are empty right now.

There are some containers with full blood which is being slowly emptied and joining the rest of the blood circulating and being pumped by the heart.

Sam must say he was impressed by this. The amount of work and thought process put behind this, the person who made this is nowhere stupid. He is a genius in formations and a niche science. Something regarding the blood and hearts of the beasts and other creatures. It is so niche that Sam doesn't even know what to call it and how to describe it. But it is something complicated and intelligent.

But the one problem is that this is also horrific and terrible. At least a few thousand people were dead for research and it was covered up with the lie and a rationalization for the remaining half of the same family that produced that few thousand sacrifices, that these sacrifices created a life-saving weapon.

But all that served was them being part of some kind of experiment that doesn't serve any purpose other than satisfying the curiosity of a perverse genius.

After examining it, the rest of the team members who saw everything going under felt extremely shocked. Particularly after Sam explained it.

Sark had a blank look on his face.

”What is with that look?” Sam asked him in confusion. Why would an enemy to the Azure blood demons be so shocked when he found out their trump card is a farce.

Sam would have been delighted.

”That was my hostage.”

Sark said in a low voice. His mood which was already gloomy seemed to have hit an all-time low.

”What did you say?” Saber Monarch asked in an even confused tone. And suddenly Sam and Gran had thought and exchanged a glance.

”You were thinking of using this 'invincible weapon' as a hostage to escape with your wife in the worst case scenario. And for that to happen you must have something or you believe you have something on you that could help you hold this thing hostage.

Your wife seemed to have given you a gift before everything happened. What is it?”

Sam asked as he dissected the situation.

Sark became silent.

Sam looked at him and said with a smile.

”I am changing the deal. You have to give me that object for the deal to be active.”

Sark looked at him in frustration.

”Can you keep your word for a second? You are changing deal just like that?”
