"Well, can we catch them and put nice clothes on them?" Looking at the little people below, Nini said eagerly.
"You can play however you want, as long as you're happy." Shanshan said, putting Nini into the low tank, reaching out and grabbing a small pile of puppet clothes in his hand.
Watching the other person carefully changing clothes for the little guy, a hint of doting flashed in Shanshan's eyes. She now felt that she did not gain a new friend, but a new sister. Perhaps before long, the relationship between the two would become that of a daughter or granddaughter.
No matter what it is, as long as she is by my side, I will at least feel better.
Rest time always passes quickly, and soon two hours passed. Just when Shanshan was about to send Nini home, Shanshan suddenly felt something, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot.
When she appeared again, she had arrived at the door at the bottom floor of the Hope Island Relics Research Institute. This was Anna's secret place. Except for the people she controlled, no one else knew of its existence.
Pushing open the door, a giant tentacle monster with black scales on its tentacles twisted madly in a magic circle made of machinery and runes.
That was Anna's true form. Most of the scales on her body had been lifted off. Next to her was a huge mechanical arm as tall as two buildings, moving quickly with a steel wire, trying to forcibly sew the giant scarlet eye, which was as big as her body, back in.
This process of forcibly stitching together flesh and blood looked extremely painful. Anna screamed madly, and the sound was so loud that even the mice and people operating the machine were stunned.
The mice nearby quickly operated various mechanical arms in an attempt to restrain her, but it was ineffective as Anna's strength was too great to be controlled by metal alone.
When Shanshan saw this scene, he said nothing, quickly revealed his true form, stretched out his tentacles and began to wrap around his mother.
With the help of Shanshan, the flesh and blood grafting process went smoothly, and the deformed eye was finally sewn into Anna's body.
Her appearance became more and more hideous. She now looked like a deformed black-scaled starfish with many whiskers, and her body was inlaid with huge blood-red eyes as big as a small house and full of blood vessels. As she stretched her body, her tentacles covered the entire magic circle.
Some Western Sea wizards wearing black robes who had been prepared nearby began to chant in a low voice. It seemed to be some kind of spell. The pitch of the spell was extremely high and it caused the air around it to resonate.
As the sound grew louder, all the mages began to shed tears of blood. The blood did not fall to the ground due to gravity, but instead began to flow upwards, eventually condensing into an eye on their foreheads.
Then, something floated out of their bodies. It was a wriggling mass of flesh with hair and facial features growing in a random pattern.
As the mages' voices grew louder and louder, when they reached a climax, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The frequency of the sounds they made was beyond the limit of what human ears could accept, but they still kept chanting, opening and closing their mouths in excitement.
At this most critical moment, Anna's body began to tremble violently, and blood vessels stretched out from her eyeballs like vines and spread to her body.
"Pah, pah, pah!" When those lumps of flesh exploded without warning, Anna stopped trembling, and her long-dead eye began to come to life, and a large cross-shaped pupil began to condense in the center of the eyeball.
As the scarlet giant eye slightly opened, everyone on Hope Island couldn't help but tremble in their hearts! Many people even fell to the ground in pain, covering their heads for no apparent reason.
They felt a voice screaming madly in their heads, and that voice made their emotions approach extreme despair.
However, this feeling came and went quickly. When Anna controlled her eye to slowly close, the feeling disappeared.
She successfully merged the body of a god into her own, and her power finally began to move beyond the realm of human and began to move towards that of a god.
"Mom, I don't think this is a good idea. The power of God is not so easy to control, and you are only able to resist it with the help of the All-Seeing Eye. I'm worried that your sanity will be affected." Shanshan expressed her concerns to her mother.
Anna's body shrank rapidly, and when it was halfway through it suddenly got stuck. The human flesh and blood and the black tentacles merged into a horrifying monster. Finally, she repeated it several times with difficulty before she could barely turn into a human form.
Anna smiled exaggeratedly and said, "Of course I know. My consciousness is being destroyed all the time. It feels like there are a bunch of lunatics living inside me, constantly spewing their crazy words at me."
"However, as an expert in mind control, your mother can still handle this little situation."
Shanshan looked at her mother with a complicated expression, "There must be something seriously wrong with Dad, right?"
There was no way she would take such a risk for no reason. If Anna wanted to absorb the power of the gods, she could just do it slowly like before. No matter how good her words were, there were definitely risks in forcibly increasing her strength.
Anna smiled and walked up to her daughter, reaching out to touch her head. "My people have connected with the Heike tribe. They are very cautious in answering Charles' question and said they will give us a reply as quickly as possible."
"Dad is okay?" Shanshan asked with surprise in her voice.
"No, this just shows that Charles' situation is not optimistic. The Heike tribe has no say in this matter. The false god behind them will definitely do something to Charles. I even think the Foundation has joined in on this matter."
As Anna waved her hand gently, everyone around her retreated. "Daughter, your father is really a delicious bun. Everyone wants to keep him."
Twinkle wasn't in such a good mood, "What should I do? Should I just rush in and bring dad back?"
"Don't worry, they won't kill your father. We need to gather our strength during this period of time. If possible, we can take this opportunity to capture them in one fell swoop, especially the corpse of the god they have. This thing is very rare in the entire Earthsea." Anna's eyes showed deep interest.
"But... they look so strong. I can't say I'm 100% sure of dealing with them." For the first time, Shanshan showed unwillingness on his face.
Suddenly she thought of something, and took a few quick steps to stand in front of her mother again, "Should we call the governor of Earthsea over again? Let's save Dad together?"
Hearing this, Anna shook her head in disapproval, "No, no need to call them."
