The terrifying sounds continued to rage on, growing ever "larger"!
As the screams, wails, and sounds of collapse spread, the entire world began to break down and disintegrate!
Moreover, as Chu Hao injected more divine fire deep into the creature's Inner Sea, its body itself began to undergo further changes!
Its size rapidly expanded, and more murky eyes, torn mouths, trembling tongues, and deformed limbs began to grow from its body.
Without exception, all these newly grown limbs and organs were twisted and malformed.
Just by observing with the naked eye, one could sense the unimaginable torment the souls had suffered deep within the Inner Sea after being fused!
And as these transformations continued, Chu Hao also discovered with interest that the sounds it produced were gradually evolving into "curses"!
These terrifying sounds, which at first could only shatter the flesh, began to contaminate the soul. Chu Hao even observed that part of the surface of some creatures' Inner Seas was slowly being occupied by this sound.
"Hehe…"
Chu Hao smiled and lightly snapped his fingers.
Immediately, the divine fire he had released backfired, sealing most of the previous holes.
As a result, the whispers from the creature quieted considerably.
"So this is the beautiful future your leaders promised them? A future without disputes, hunger, or suffering?"
The heads of the former world leaders fell silent.
Only the female animal head continued to struggle in defense.
"You don't understand. Such a massive collective consciousness requires a leading mind!"
"Without it, the entire consciousness would fall into a purely unconscious state, unable to act at all."
Chu Hao smiled faintly.
"Yet from what I see now, your current state is hardly different from a purely unconscious one."
"Too much malice and pain has caused them to pollute your entire Inner Sea, a pollution that has even infected your own thoughts!"
"And in my view, the suppressed collective consciousnesses you controlled already have their own ideas: revenge and cruelty, seeking vengeance against all beings with positive emotions and normal minds."
"Even without divine fire or divine status, your power seems sufficient to carry this out."
Chu Hao did not continue and instead changed the topic.
"Enough about your experiment. I already understand quite a bit. But I have two questions."
"First, where did you store the formulas used for the fusion experiment?"
"Second, since you began the all-race fusion program, why did the Hayes Tribe, the little 'rats' outside, survive?"
Chu Hao had long been curious how the Hayes Tribe had avoided the fusion process and lived until now.
It was clear from their invasion of other worlds, providing scarce resources to these monsters, and the tributes left outside the palace, that the Hayes Tribe retained a certain loyalty to this "mad god."
"The formulas and experimental data were stored within our Inner Sea."
"As long as you fulfill your promise to help us, the data will be given to you afterward!"
As former high-ranking leaders, these arrogant creatures still retained basic intelligence.
They would not give Chu Hao what he wanted most until he had saved them!
"As for the Hayes Tribe…"
The female head's expression twisted with hatred and loathing.
"It's because of those brainless idiots that everything was ruined!"
"Oh?"
Another unexpected answer. Chu Hao's interest was immediately piqued.
"The Hayes Tribe existed long before the rest of us began the fusion."
"But at that time, in the eyes of other races, they were the most useless, the most dispensable species!"
"They were ignored by everyone else. Weak bodies, low intelligence, excessive desires, no unique culture or technology, merely reproducing at the bottom and using their numbers to consume the world's resources!"
"Thus, during the fusion process, we completely abandoned them. Such a race was just a burden to us."
"However, because of this, we high-ranking individuals who began the fusion saw a small remnant of value in them."
"We chose to educate them, giving them part of our technology and knowledge at the start of the fusion."
"Originally, we intended to turn them into workers and builders, but unexpectedly, we gained a large group of followers!"
"At a time approaching the end of the world, these ignorant, flat-haired beasts actually worshiped us with supreme intelligence as true gods!"
"Although this was not part of our plan, the result was effectively the same."
"While we had not yet gone mad from excessive fusion, with our intelligence aiding them, these rat-people developed quickly."
"They helped us hunt other races, helped us reshape the world, and truly acted like vassals, constantly obeying our orders."
"They rapidly adapted to the increasingly ruined world, and we even used some magical abilities to modify a portion of them, making them even more loyal."
"Their power increased, and their loyalty grew."
"But…"
"Due to the later fusion process being too hasty, our sanity began to deteriorate."
"The suppressed lower consciousnesses gradually started to compete for control of the body, and during this process…"
"These tiny rat-people, hearing the 'false' divine revelations instilled by the damned lower intelligences, began invading other worlds, feeding the beings from those worlds into our fused bodies!"
"Chaos erupted completely!"
"Our sanity finally collapsed due to the increasing number of fusions, causing near-irreversible contamination and madness!"
"This madness could have been slowly reduced by stopping the fusion."
"But those damned flat-haired beasts, seeing our madness, mistakenly thought they had angered us and began throwing even more chaotic beings into our bodies, fusing them!"
"Several times we tried to warn them, but having lost control, each attempt failed!"
"The beings fused without selection had Inner Seas full of resentment, anger, violence, and bloodlust, and their emotions easily polluted the vast Inner Sea!"
"In the end, we went completely mad!"
"These damned, ugly, worthless creatures caused all of this!"
"We despise them deeply!"
