Linda decisively disagreed. "All the samples only exist in humans. If the fish-man conducts experiments rashly, he will simply seek death."
"They all have two arms and two legs, what's the difference? How many relics are there? Let me pick one quickly. I want to pick the most powerful one."
Linda felt that today's Dipper was a little different from the usual Dipper. "Why did you do this?"
Dipper looked at his webbed hands and said solemnly, "My abilities won't be of much help to the captain this time. I want to improve my abilities."
"Is it really necessary? We've already found the surface exit. We may not have to go out to sea anymore."
Dipper showed a disapproving expression on his face, "Of course it is necessary. I heard from the captain that there are billions of people on the surface. What if after we go up, we want to occupy the territory like the Earth Sea? What if the surface people come down to seize our island? "
Linda wanted to say something else, but was quickly interrupted by Dipper, "Don't wait, hurry up, I'm not afraid of death, so what are you afraid of."
"Are you really not going to discuss this with the captain?"
"Why would we even discuss this? He will definitely not agree."
Soon, the two came to a warehouse where various relics were stored. Most of the relics that could be used for experiments were static relics. After all, if they were living ones, it would be more troublesome to collect them.
"Generally speaking, although the abilities of relics are varied, the energy contained in them also varies. The greater the energy, the harder it is to fuse."
"I see..." Dipper looked carefully at the instructions on the box.
After looking at it for a while, Linda saw that he still hadn't made a decision, so she asked him, "Why? Don't you know which ability to choose?"
"That's not the case. The main reason is that there are some words on it that I don't recognize." Dipper said with a frown.
“… …” Linda didn’t know what to say for a moment.
After Linda's introduction, Dipper quickly selected the most powerful relic.
"I roughly calculated that if you don't consider the uncertainty factor that you are a murloc, based on the time you went out to sea, plus the energy of this relic, the success rate is about 70%."
Looking at the blue cube in his hand, Dipper nodded excitedly. "It's OK, 70% is not low. The captain has absorbed two. And the suicide note is already written. It's in my arms. If I die, remember to give it to the captain."
Soon, a laboratory was cleared out. The hard ground had grooves carved into it with the shape of the strange magic circle. The navy guards only had to carry sea salt and pour it in, which was both time-saving and convenient.
"Friends, are you ready?" Dipper said to the other personalities in his mind.
"I'm already tired of waiting!"
"Hmm... I think it would be better to ask the captain first."
"Two to one, no objection! Ready... Go!" Dipper cut his own abdomen fiercely with a knife.
"Idiot! Take out the source material first!" Linda instructed from the side.
Although there was some confusion, the experiment was eventually completed in an orderly manner.
Looking at Dipper sitting motionless in the dark sea salt, Linda couldn't help but feel a little worried for him.
At this moment, Dipper suddenly raised his head and twitched all over, and a flash of blue flashed across his body.
—————————
In the cold sea water, Anna in her complete form twisted her tentacles and dived underwater like an octopus.
Around her, there was a cluster of green light, flickering left and right.
Just as she was about to hit the bottom, a creature made of flesh and blood suddenly emerged from the thick sea mud, opened its huge bird-like mouth and bit towards Anna.
With a "swish", a group of green cross eyeballs instantly wrapped it up, and the next second, most of the body of the grid monster disappeared.
That was Shanshan, who was protecting her mother with all her heart, and her body was bigger than before.
Anna extended a tentacle and quickly stroked Shanshan's body, then twisted her body to search the seabed.
Anna searched for several hours in this dark and strange underwater world, but her hard work paid off and she finally found her target.
It was a pitch-black flat creature with a crack on its back. The darkness in the crack was extremely dark. Just looking at it for a few more seconds would make one feel as if they were trapped in it.
Anna's dozen tentacles twisted rapidly and rhythmically, and she nodded her eyeballs all over her body.
She flashed directly onto the back of the giant flatworm,
"Swish~!" Before the flatworm knew what was happening, the dark crack on its back and most of its back shell disappeared.
The next second, Shanshan appeared again and quickly wrapped up its own mother.
When Anna opened her eyes again, she found that she had returned to the top of the world.
After patting Twinkle on the head with her finger to praise her for a good job, Anna walked towards the torn flatworm back on the ground next to her.
Under the bright electric light, the black cracks in the flesh were still completely dark, and nothing could be seen inside.
Anna carefully extended a tentacle, but she couldn't even reach the ground after she put the entire tentacle into the gap. It was as if it was the entrance to an endless abyss.
Seeing this scene, Anna did not hesitate and directly drilled her entire body into the black crack.
Shining was around the thin back of the flatworm, with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Mom...?"
Shanshan moved the thing aside and found that there was only the floor stained with black juice underneath, and his mother was not there.
Just as she was wondering where her mother had gone, a tentacle dyed completely black emerged from the crack.
One, two, three, then half of the body. Finally, Anna got out of it completely.
Just as Shanshan was about to move forward with his tentacles shaking, a cut began to appear on Anna's body, and a dark, sticky, stringy liquid continued to spurt out of her body.
At first there was only one stream, but after a few seconds it turned into two or three streams, and the black water sprayed more and more.
Finally, only a layer of skin remained on Anna's skin, floating lightly on the black liquid and swaying from side to side.
"Mom?" Shanshan picked up Anna's skin and shook it slightly.
But the skin did not respond to it, lying loosely on her tentacles.
All the green cross pupils began to show sadness, and fluorescent green liquid dripped from her eyes, constantly
"Gudong~" a bubble emerged from the black water on the ground.
The bubbles did not burst but increased in number. When the bubbles were almost filling the entire room, a new tentacle stretched out from inside.
This tentacle was the same black tentacle that Anna had seen before, like old tree bark. The difference was that this tentacle was thicker and longer, and the place that should have been hollow was covered with some kind of uneven, semi-elastic black scales.
And Anna's whole body began to exude a disgusting, dirty and unclean smell that she had never had before.
The next second, all the tentacles and all the black bubbles shrank rapidly, and Anna slowly emerged with a smug smile on her lips.
"Now, I have finally gotten rid of the Diva tribe that can only manipulate thoughts, and moved towards a higher level of existence."
