Chapter 179 - 179: Theo, where, where is my mother? (2/2)
Dennis, on the other hand, didn't seem to have found his mother…
”Is it that… was your mother among Mauricio Kenedy's experiments?” Seeing this, Theo suspected that she was one of the women who had suffered at the hands of Mauricio, and that could explain why Dennis hadn't seen his mother yet…
However, he used his strong Divine Sense and could feel her presence, even if only a little, but he could not see her.
Of course, Theo was preventing him from finding where the experiment victims were… he still needed to see if he could save them.
Dennis came up with tears in his eyes as he asked, ”Theo, where, where is my mother? Why can't I find her?”
Theo sighed and said, ”I'm not going to lie to you. She's not in good shape, but I promise I'll try my best to help her recover, so you just need to wait for a little, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Dennis shook his hands tightly until he stabbed his fingernails into the palm of his hands and blood began to flow. His whole body trembled as he tried to restrain his tears that seemed to flow endlessly.
Dennis lost his young father already, and his mother was his only living family. He only managed to stand firm until today because he told himself that his mother was still well, and when he got stronger, he would save her. But now Theo said to him that his dear mother was not in good shape? Despite his young age, he could imagine what this could mean since he has seen many people here who could be described like that.
”So, in what state is my dear mother currently in?”
His mental state became chaotic, and he was losing control of his emotions, his Divine Sense was out of control, causing discomfort to those around him.
Theo shook his head and put him to sleep. He knew it wouldn't be good to leave him like this, but he didn't want to give him any false hope. He could only do his best and try to help them.
Theo communicated with the others in the Dimensional Room, summarizing what was happening. He said that they would have to stay in this place a little longer, but then he would take them to another location. After that, he went out to where his illusions were keeping the people who had suffered from the experiments.
There were a total of seven adult men in this group. They had no skin on their bodies and were the most deformed. If Theo didn't look close enough, he wouldn't have even noticed that they were human, let alone men, since they didn't have their genitals anymore.
There were also 14 deformed women with some extra arms and legs, bringing the total to 21 victims here.
Theo took a deep breath to calm his fury and revulsion as he examined what had happened to them.
”There's a great chance that the healing potions will fix them because they weren't born this way. If they're cured 100% by the potions, there is a great chance of them returning to normal.” Theo hoped it would work. If not, he'd have to see if he could find another way to help them.
'Let's try the one that seems to be in a better state.' Theo looked at a child who had four arms, two seemed to be his own arms, but the other two were very similar to monkey arms.
Taking it out of the transparent container with his Divine Sense, Theo bought three Apprentice Kingdom potions that would provide 40% healing.

Since this boy was only in the 8th Layer of the Apprentice Kingdom, it was really cheap for Theo to buy these three potions. He just hoped it would work as he thought it would.
This child looked at Theo with his dead fish eyes and didn't move an inch. Theo knew there was no point in changing his memories now, before bringing him back to normal, because he would only collapse again the moment he saw his current state.
Making this boy open his mouth with his Divine Sense, Theo put a healing potion in his mouth. Soon after, he gave him the other two.
”It worked!” Theo was happy to see the result. Gradually, the wounds on the boy's body began to heal, and the two monkey arms just below his original arms fell off, and the places where they were sewn on were healed.
The boy with his dead fish eyes, looked at his arms and body, intrigued. His reaction reminded Theo of the response of a certain wooden boy when he became a real boy.
