My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 2274 "An experimental subject?" Nash recalled the many modified humans he encountered previously in Gorgeous Country.

Sterling nodded. "Yes, but not exactly."

The others did not quite understand Sterling's words. Only Nash grasped his meaning.

Sterling then explained to the rest, "It's no longer in the realm of humans. In a sense, it's a true deity..."

Sterling then squeezed out a force from within himself. Due to his constitution, he could store others' true energy or other items inside his body, as he had demonstrated before.

Sterling released a black shadow, from which emerged a humanoid monster resembling a watcher.

Everyone stepped back, but Sterling explained, "Don't be afraid. I've completely absorbed this watcher's true energy. It's now under my control. It was through the watcher's aura that I discovered that basement."

He continued, "We encountered similar artificial deities in Drakonia before. Those were godly powers inhabiting soulless replicated bodies, so they were particularly weak. But what I sense now is completely different from what we encountered before.

"The thing in the basement, the original host or creator of the watchers, has somehow brilliantly fused godly power with human consciousness and body. That's why I say it's a deity. Although its power is certainly not as formidable as a true god with a divine body, it's definitely not to be underestimated."

Hearing Sterling's explanation, the others did not seem particularly surprised as similar incidents had occurred in previous missions tasked by Universal Group.
