After listening to Tian En's account, Yun You was even more certain that this gentleman must be the "Vivian Hugo" she was looking for.
Because his main political ideology was the word "equality."
Equal burdens, equal responsibilities, equal rights.
"It seems like your Mokaka is quite a character indeed."
Yun You shook her head with so emotion, and softly said, "Clearly having such advantageous conditions, enjoying benefits without having to do anything, a lifeti of food and drink without worry, yet willing to risk everything for ideals, putting oneself in danger."
"No matter what, such people are worthy of admiration."
"Of course!"
Tian En nodded emphatically.
"That's why I said, using all the world's words of praise on Mokaka is not excessive at all."
"She is a true philanthropist, a person who cares for us weaklings..."
Saying this, the girl couldn't help but repeat her old habit, and started using all sorts of beautiful words to praise Mokaka, speaking continuously for over ten minutes without stopping.
Yun You automatically filtered out all the flattery but couldn't help but think.
Now that she considered it, Mokaka's actions seed quite reasonable.
After all, she, or rather Vivian Hugo, was handpicked by Old Jin to be the Lower City Mayor.
If she didn't have so grand ideals and concern for humanity, how could she catch Old Jin's eye?
But Yun You was still quite curious about the identity of Mokaka, who could carry nurous guards even under arrest.
This isn't sothing that ordinary privilege can accomplish...
Her real identity must be quite complicated.
[Hey! Snap out of it, Yun Zai]
[Look at where we are now!]
Suddenly, Master Zero's voice rang in Yun You's ears, pulling her out of her thoughts.
The girl instinctively looked up and saw a huge lake of blood and a steel dam, along with a fishy wind crashing into her eyes.
The rusted steel gate gripped the concrete dam body like a giant beast's fangs. Congealed blood waterfalls hung in the flood discharge passageway. From the broken glass windows on the dam top's observation station, scarlet gelatinous fluid wrapped in fat layers continuously flowed out, cascading along the wave wall into the lake.
On the lake surface, spherical fat deposits floated and bobbed amidst ferntation bubbles. The water depth was unfathomable, but one could faintly see tangled hair nets, in which half-lted eyeballs and cartilage were entwined...
"Squeak—!"
When the rusted gate suddenly let out a tallic tearing wail, the whirlpools ford by the rotten blood instantly swept a few floating corpses towards the flood discharge channel. The crisp sound of bones colliding with iron barriers mixed with organ fragnts and rushed towards the shore, with so blood even splattering on Yun You.
Yun You didn't know how many lives were buried in this lake, but at this mont, it no longer mattered, for they've already transford into breeding grounds for maggots, where microorganisms dance a sacrilegious dance.
"This is the 'Corpse Lake' located at the center of the Floating Island."
Tian En gently pinched her nose and whispered an explanation, "Because it's located in the basin at the very bottom of the Floating Island, the blood of the deceased from other regions would seep and converge here, making it a natural dumping ground."
"How about it, looks spectacular, right? When I first saw it, I almost vomited stomach acid..."
"..."
Yun You silently nodded, her stomach churning with physiological discomfort.
Previously, crawling out of the Yangshan Town's exit, the little girl thought that was cruel enough.
A total of over five thousand scattered corpses, white bones covering the ground...
But now it seed, that was rely a minor scene.
This sea of blood, the corpse lake, was the true embodint of death and atrocities.
[Tsk, quite a grand scene]
Even Master Zero couldn't help but speak out, quietly making sarcastic remarks.
[That's why I say, all that nonsense about mutant creatures, Death Domain incidents, natural disasters... it's only the poorest mimicry of you humans]
[You are the cruelest animals in the world, the death caused by your kind killing each other, more than the sum of all other causes, even the greatest natural disasters are small potatoes compared to your enterprise wars]
[Hey, it's funny to think about it, despite your technology having developed to such an extent, battleships can obscure the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, planetary illusion realms and genes within the body can be manipulated at will, yet that primitive bloodthirsty cruel instinct is buried deep in your bones, unchangeable]
[However, when thinking it through, it's really strange...]
[So many corpses are piled here haphazardly, and not disposed of, aren't they concerned about causing a large-scale Death Domain incident?]
[It doesn't make sense]
[...]
[Ah! Turns out there's a "Reality Stabilizer" suppressing the place]
[Yun Zai, take a look at the 12 o'clock direction]
Yun You was slightly startled, instinctively looking over.
She saw on the dark red lake surface, there stood a tal flagpole, about 3 ters high, as thick as a lamp post.
At the top of the flagpole floated a faint blue prismatic crystal, not conspicuous but it gave an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
"Reality Stabilizer..."
Yun You scratched her head and asked curiously, "What is that?"
[A 'Anti-Death Domain Device' developed based on Apprentice Death God power]
Master Zero patiently explained.
[The cause of Death Domain formation does not have a precise answer, but historically it is proven that the more 'abnormal' the place, the more 'corpse accumulation' or 'filth' present, the more likely a Death Domain is to appear]
[During previous enterprise wars, on the largest battlefields, due to the massive number of corpses, they ford mountains, thus Death Domains almost constantly appeared, turning the battleground into a forbidden area unsettled for decades]
[To suppress the ergence of Death Domains, Apprentice Death Gods developed a 'Reality Stabilizer,' capable of suppressing abnormal forces within an area]
[Regarding the principle, hmm... how should I put it, take this corpse lake as a simple example]
[The blood that appears to your eyes is liquid composed of red blood cells and water, the skeletons are just so proteins, fats, keratin like other 'normal substances']
[But sotis, Death Domain forces spontaneously appear, contaminating these normal substances, making them 'abnormal,' gradually transforming them into Death Domain creatures or mobile natural catastrophes]
[And the effect of a Reality Stabilizer is to suppress Death Domain forces, ensuring substances in an area remain in a normal state, without transforming]
Upon hearing this, Yun You sowhat understood.
The creators of the Floating Island Prison probably anticipated people would kill each other, creating this corpse lake, so they placed a Reality Stabilizer here in advance.
Thus, even if the thugs kill more people, it wouldn't cause a Death Domain.
"But if such a powerful thing exists, why not mass-produce them and construct more in the cities?"
Yun You asked in confusion, "With such a big impact from Death Domains, using a single crystal to suppress them should be good business, right?"
[That must be due to various limitations]
Master Zero casually replied.
[Speaking of which, this thing is quite expensive, don't let its small size fool you, if sold on the market, its price would be at least nine figures!]
[Moreover, you are too naive. If this thing that suppresses Death Domains is widely promoted, would the residents of Nest City still worship Apprentice Death Gods... need Apprentice Death Gods?]
[Death Gods can rule Nest City, suppress all opposition, but they also enjoy being 'needed' and enjoy being worshipped by others]
[If there are no longer any low-level people, how would they find that sense of superior dignity?]
[This is the fundantal reason why Reality Stabilizers cannot be widely promoted. Even the powerful Apprentice Death Gods cannot escape the constraints of human nature]
