My Monster Fuses Everything

Hotels having underground storage rooms similar to parking spaces isn't anything out of the ordinary.

However, it was evident that this underground prison was located even further down and there were clear signs of movement coming from within, indicating the presence of a strong monster.

Wan Yuzhou had already been paralyzed and would likely struggle to awaken; moreover, getting clear information from someone like him wouldn't be easy, even with coercive tactics.

Su Han decided to check it out alone. He retracted the giant Scorpion Spider Demon back into the Book of Blood Spirit and then strode into the hotel.

"Everyone maintain your current positions, hands where I can see them, and don't make any sudden moves, or you'll be treated as combatants, understood?"

Inside the hotel lobby, Zhang Dahai had already gathered the non-combatants together, some of whom were already hiding in the lobby, while others had just been ushered down from their rooms.

Zhang Dahai's group was about twenty people or so, but with the Angel Envoys by their side, overseeing these two hundred-plus people was not a big issue.

Su Han walked in wearing Black Armor, and upon seeing him, Zhang Dahai hurried over to greet him.

"So far we have found a total of 264 non-combatants, among which 43 are slaves who were just released, another 216 are civilians, and 5 are managers."

Civilians was the term Zhang Dahai used to distinguish ordinary people because among these non-combatants, some also had Angel Envoys; their strength was just not formidable, their talents insufficient, and they either did not dare join Wan Yuzhou's combat ranks or had no desire to.

As for the managers, they were Wan Yuzhou's people, but compared to combat, their duties were more focused on maintaining the logistics and management of the camp.

Su Han nodded, his gaze sweeping over the people. Although he didn't exert any pressure intentionally, his appearance in Black Armor made his eyes seem even more piercing.

"Those who understand the hotel's layout, raise your hands."

Upon Su Han's command, four people tentatively raised their hands.

They looked frightened, yet hopeful, as if wanting to make a good impression on Su Han, who seemed like a leader.

Su Han knew there must be more than these four who were familiar with the hotel's layout, but he didn't care.

"You, speak."

Su Han pointed to a well-presented man wearing a black shirt and asked, "What else is there underground in the hotel besides the parking lot?"

"Yes!

The man immediately nodded, hurriedly saying, "There is a basement used for storage, where most of the supplies are now kept. There's also an underground boxing club... it was for providing guests with more thrilling performances, but... when the scrutiny became tighter it was closed down and later became the place where the boss and Yu Ge... Cao Yu dealt with the dirty work."

The man spoke candidly, hesitating before adding, "After the apocalypse, the boss didn't let others enter, just periodically putting monsters inside."

"What is your role in the hotel?"

Su Han's abrupt question made the man jolt, and he quickly replied, "I... I am the hotel manager. After the apocalypse, I started managing people... but I didn't dare mess around, didn't have the nerve..."

"Take me to the underground boxing ring."

Su Han didn't wait for more of his prattle and had him lead the way. Upon hearing this, Zhang Dahai grew concerned and suggested, "Su Han, why not take a few more people with you?"

Ordinary underground boxing rings would be fine, but that manager had clearly stated that Wan Yuzhou had been stuffing monsters inside, so who could be certain of what strangeness lay there.

After thinking for a moment, Su Han decided it would be good to have Zhu Xiong join, since he was already checking various parts of the hotel.

He nodded and said, "Call Old Zhu over."

Zhang Dahai nodded, "I'm on it."

Zhu Xiong was quickly summoned, accompanied by Cheng Xiyuan and several teammates.

"Let's go."

Once everyone arrived, Su Han got the manager to lead the way, and the group headed to the underground parking area via the staircase.

As a high-end resort villa planned for a small number of visitors, the entire underground parking area had only one level.

The storage room was on the second basement level, and originally the most convenient way would have been the goods elevator, but now they had to take the stairs.

Passing through the dim underground parking, they reached the storage room on the second basement level, where a heavy door was tightly locked and secured with chains.

"The entrance to the underground boxing ring is inside the storage room."

The manager took out a key from his pocket, and, being in charge of logistics for the camp, naturally he had the key to the storage room.

The iron door opened, leading into a vast storage room filled with all kinds of supplies piled up inside, a motley assortment, clearly the result of their collection efforts in recent times.

The hotel actually has a cold storage, but due to the power outage, it has been out of use, and now it's hardly storing much inside.

There is a generator in the hotel, but the cold storage consumes too much electricity, so it hasn't been used.

The manager led Su Han and the others to the very back, and indeed, behind the obstruction of the shelves, there was an incredibly thick door.

"What are you dawdling for? Open it."

When Zhu Xiong saw the manager hesitate, showing a troubled expression, he slapped him on the shoulder.

"This... Only the boss has the key to this place."

"Alright, move aside."

Su Han aimed his palm at the metal door, activating his Metal Control ability. The thick metal door quickly melted and then gradually deformed, revealing the passage beyond.

"Roar!"

As soon as it opened, a deep roar rang out, terrifying and profound.

The expressions of everyone changed slightly. Su Han strode in, with the rest following closely behind. The light from the Lamp Tree crystals illuminated the entire area.

It was a fighting arena completely enclosed, with a circle of red leather seats for the audience, neatly and circularly arranged in rings, the swathes of red somewhat glaring, like curtains of blood.

In the very center, surrounded by the stands, was the recessed field—concrete-poured circular walls, nearly five meters lower than the stands, forming a ring, with a flat surface. And in the very middle of the field, there clearly stood two huge metal cages, planted into the ground.

Square, with metal bars as thick as one's forearm, each cage measured about five meters in length, width, and height—a true metal prison.

Before it was sealed, this was where underground fight clubs were held, with extremely rough setup, devoid of any design.

It wasn't that Wan Yuzhou had cut corners, but rather such a raw and simple battleground was where the ultimate violence and bloodshed took place, life-and-death struggles, and not just between humans.

After it was sealed, this became the place where Wan Yuzhou executed disobedient people, many of whom had been locked up in these two cages.

They could be his subordinates, opponents, or even some who were just an eyesore.

Now, both cages were covered in bloodstains, with the gray concrete floor long since stained red. The old bloodstains had even turned black, and the smell of blood pervaded the entire arena.

One of the cages was empty, while the other contained a terrifying, towering figure.

The monster was covered in blood-red mucus, its form resembling a small hill, filling most of the cage. Its head and body were nearly fused together, with three jet-black eyeballs the size of fists, scattered across the upper half of its torso, greedily watching Su Han and the others.

Its gaping maw was just below its eyes, nearly as wide as its body, drooling saliva, as if it were a deep abyss ready to devour everything.

"Roar"

It let out a low, terrifying roar, with five or six twisted, human-like arms constantly reaching out from behind. Two arms on its sides were especially thick, almost two meters long, and below its form was a row of robust legs, like pillars.

"What... what kind of monster is this?!"

The manager who had come with them went weak at the knees. Although he had seen the monsters of the apocalypse, the one before him was exceedingly repulsive, continuously emanating malice towards humans.

Those messy, dense arms and row upon row of pillar-like feet seemed to indicate it had indiscriminately devoured countless humans, its body completely fused, leaving only this huge, twisted form and the distorted limbs.

Zhu Xiong swallowed hard and muttered, "Is this guy raising monsters for fun?"

Su Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head, saying, "It's probably his second Angel Envoy he's preparing. He should be close to a breakthrough."

Wan Yuzhou was not weak; even against another First Order Upper Grade, his Tyrant could easily suppress Cao Yu's Giant Macrophage Dog.

It was entirely possible for him to have reached the limit of First Order Upper Grade and gotten a glimpse into Divine Initiation.

However, Su Han was more inclined to believe that this guy had deduced the possibility of a second, third, or even more Angel Envoys from the start, based on the correlation between the Angel Envoys and the pages of the Book of Blood Spirit.

You should know that the strength of the monster before him was clearly higher than First Order Upper Grade. This is not something that can be restrained just by wanting to.

At least, not by Wan Yuzhou.

"The second Angel Envoy," Zhu Xiong sneered, "This guy sure dares to dream. But looking at these bloodstains, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of a few days."

Su Han nodded and said, "It must have been kept here from the start, and back then, it might not have had this form."

He looked at the manager, and as Zhu Xiong's hand landed on the manager's shoulder, the already weak-kneed manager nearly fell to the ground.

With a look of despair, he quickly said, "At the beginning of the apocalypse, this place was closed off by... by Wan Yuzhou. He locked up a bunch of flesh corpses and other monsters here, as an execution ground. Many disobedient people were thrown in here by Cao Yu and Zhou Ji, it really wasn't my fault."

Zhu Xiong's face creased into a smile that was not quite a smile as he tightened his grip and said, "Continue, what happened after that?"

"After... after some time, for reasons unknown, Wan Yuzhou only allowed himself and the two men, Zhou Ji and Cao Yu, to come in here. But monsters were still regularly brought in by them, mostly alive."

He pondered carefully, then hastened to add, "And sometimes, Wan Yuzhou would stay for quite a long time."

Confused, Zhu Xiong said, "Should we wake that guy up and ask? All this secrecy."

"No need," said Su Han, recalling the strange form of the Tyrant, and suddenly understanding the critical point. He slowly said, "Wan Yuzhou is breeding a gu. I have to say, the guy is quite talented."
