Chapter 612: D-Level Authority
Chapter 612: D-Level Authority
"Doctor Ma really did give me D-level authority," Qin Muye muttered as he checked the data on his computer, unsure of what to say. He could only conclude that this person was indeed straightforward.
Qin Muye quickly finished browsing through the data. How should he describe it? Most of the anomalies here were pretty much useless, and not particularly harmful. For example, a meat-eating unicorn, a fountain pen that turns any color of ink into black when writing, or an itch-inducer that scratches people while they sleep.
His horizons were broadened, but Qin Muye was also quite taken aback. No wonder Beta-level anomalies were so loosely managed.
As for Alpha-level anomalies, they were not recorded in the D-level authority. When Qin Muye had not yet revealed his world-devouring nature and was just passing as the Son of Hades, he was already considered one of the most dangerous Beta-level anomalies.
For example, the meat-eating unicorn just needed to be provided with meat daily. The fountain pen was simpler; it could be kept in a safe with 24-hour surveillance. As for the itch-inducer, it was assigned to scratch the thirty or so prisoners while they slept.
So, the lives of Beta-level anomalies were actually quite good, unlike Omega-level anomalies, which were all confined in the dark, underground.
Even the Long Mai, which housed Omega-level anomalies, was contained, and the one in charge of its containment was Doctor Long.
In the past few days, Doctor Long would occasionally drop by to chat. Through these conversations, Qin Muye learned that Doctor Long had established numerous bases within the Long Mai.
He relied on a large number of Omega-level anomalies to contain the Long Mai. While it appeared to be used by the World Defenders Organization, in reality, it was only under limited control.
The Long Mai itself was a massive danger. If containment were to fail, it would surely bring about an end-of-the-world crisis.
Of course, Doctor Long wasn't really there to chat. He was preparing to create a device to suppress Qin Muye's world-devouring instinct, which required a deeper understanding of Qin Muye.
However, Qin Muye didn't want to delve into this with Doctor Long. Devouring the world wasn't a bad thing for him.
But given his situation, Qin Muye had to discuss it with Doctor Long, as it was a hidden flaw he needed to address.
He wasn't trying to solve his world-devouring problem but rather to find a way to devour the world more subtly, thus concealing this flaw.
But he couldn't tell Doctor Long about this plan, as he was currently playing the role of a good guy. If his malicious intent towards the world were to be exposed, it would likely cause a stir.
Doctor Long wasn't an easy person to deal with either. During their chats, Qin Muye also probed Doctor Long and confirmed that the man had lived for a very long time, at least a thousand years.
He looked like an ordinary person but seemed to have gained some power from long-term containment of the Long Mai.
He was usually around the 1st tier, but if he used the power of the Long Mai, he could reach the 7th tier. If he went all out, he could likely reach the 8th tier.
As for whether he could reach the 9th tier, Qin Muye wasn't sure.
This realization was quite shocking to Qin Muye, as the leap in power was immense, but he adapted to it.
What else could he do? Doctor Long had already shown his capabilities, and if Qin Muye didn't believe it, he would just be a foolish antagonist.
It seemed like an external force, but a normal person couldn't handle such immense power, let alone control it.
It was like a regular person wielding the power of a Primordial Sage and using it effortlessly. This was definitely abnormal, as the more likely outcome would be being overwhelmed and destroyed, not mastering the power instantly.
Doctor Long was such an abnormal existence.
This led to the perception that the world was weak at various levels, but if you dug deeper or caused widespread destruction, terrifying entities would indeed emerge.
Take the World Defenders Organization, for example. The twelve zodiac doctors were each at least 8th tier and possibly 9th tier, even if they usually operated at the 1st tier and preferred not to use their strength. This didn't mean they were weak.
Qin Muye usually didn't use his strength either, so was he weak?
Thus, Qin Muye estimated that the number of 9th-tier beings in this world might be far more than he imagined, though they might not be the typical 9th-tier beings but rather entities of some rule or law.
As long as he didn't provoke any trouble, there was no need to worry about offending the other party. Qin Muye was very excited about this. If he were to devour such a powerful world, wouldn't he become even stronger?
Just imagine the kind of Titan-level megastructure that could be created from this.
However, while the idea was tempting, he had no real confidence to act on it right now. After all, a fight to the death was not a game.
But that didn't mean there were no options. He needed to take it step by step. The Long Mai was a perfect place to start.
First, he would obtain the world essence from within the Long Mai. Then, after elevating the Endless Abyss to a 9th-rank territory, he would have 9th-rank spirits at his disposal.
Even if they were of a lower tier, their sheer numbers, reaching into the billions, would be enough to overwhelm any incomplete 9th-rank entities.
There was no need for intricate plots; brute force would suffice.
Actually, plotting and scheming were not very reliable, given the numerous variables. The entire anomaly world was constantly giving birth to new anomalies, and these anomalies were always changing due to various factors, some becoming stronger and others weaker.
Sometimes, a small change could turn a Beta-level anomaly into an Omega-level anomaly capable of destroying the world. This had happened before.
Moreover, there were anomalies like the Ghost Realm, which were Omega-level from the moment they appeared. If he were to rely on plots and schemes, the variables would be overwhelming, and plans would often fail to keep up with changes.
Therefore, Qin Muye decisively abandoned this option. He decided to spend some time in the Long Mai, and perhaps try to chat with the Omega-level anomaly known as the First Emperor, to see if he could uncover anything related to deities.
He was certain that the Long Mai contained a deity, though the specifics were unclear. It was likely a concept or some powerful life form.
The Omega-level anomaly known as the First Emperor had been contained in the Long Mai for a considerable time. From the conversations with Doctor Long, Qin Muye inferred that the First Emperor had been here since ancient times, contained by the predecessor of the World Defenders Organization.
Further details were not available, as Doctor Long deftly changed the subject whenever Qin Muye probed, clearly indicating that it was a core secret.
This is why Qin Muye was interested in the First Emperor. The World Defenders Organization must have thoroughly researched before placing him here; they wouldn't have done so without careful consideration.
Qin Muye had inspected the entire villa and confirmed that it was newly built, so there was no question of an existing containment facility.
For the World Defenders Organization, constructing a prison for an Omega-level anomaly was a minor task, both financially and logistically. As long as the anomaly did not pose a threat to their civilization and world, it was worth the effort.
"Who knows what other ideas they might have," Qin Muye thought as he attempted to further penetrate the firewall the World Defenders Organization had constructed using an anomaly.
However, the other party's willingness to go down with him forced Qin Muye to back off. He wanted information, not a confrontation.
"I wonder what kind of anomaly it is, to have such capabilities."
He had probed Doctor Long about it, but the other man had only given a perfunctory response.
Qin Muye eventually stopped asking, as it was clear that Doctor Long would not reveal anything, no matter how much he pressed.
After reviewing the Beta-level anomalies accessible with his D-level authority, Qin Muye closed the page, feeling rather bored. He then got up and headed toward the garden.
In the Long Mai, there was no distinction between day and night. Looking at the neighboring palace, he could faintly make out the characters "Tai Yi" on the plaque.
"Tai Yi Palace, the name sounds like a sword," Qin Muye thought as he approached the boundary of the villa. He decided to pay a visit. After living here for so long, it was unneighborly not to have visited.
"Going empty-handed isn't good. I think the First Emperor hasn't eaten, so a punch from me will serve as a gift."
