My Substitute CEO Bride

"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.

Mallory then took out her phone and pulled up a mission briefing. "Take a look at this."

Sterling and Nash took the phone.

Mallory explained, "This was sent by someone codenamed Zero a month ago. Although we don't know who this Zero is, the intelligence they provided has been extremely useful. That's why we started targeting BrightState Enterprises."

The document contained a table, and the title on the table was particularly eye- catching.

"Experiment Plan, BrightState."

It recorded many of BrightState Enterprises' actions, though only those visible in the news.

However, the next page was strikingly different.

It was a photo of a paper notebook filled with scribbles and corrections. Only a few terms were circled as key points, 'Experiment', 'Mission and

'Deity'.

Nash and Sterling could now make a rough guess, but the specific details still needed to be verified.

"If that's the case, when do we start the operation?" Nash asked.

Sterling thought for a moment before saying, "The day after tomorrow. ve recently discovered others who have infiltrated like us Though not many, we've been interfering with the lower-level

After explaining the plan, Sterling said solemnly, "Everyone, don't push yourselves too hard."

They all smiled. Avery then stood up and patted Sterling's shoulder.

A day passed, and it was now the date of the mission.

At exactly noon, the cafeteria's tranquility was shattered by the crisp sound of a plate breaking.

A muscular man with a buzz cut and a fierce expression stood on a table, grappling with a smaller person.

Soon, supporters from both sides joined in, and the entire cafeteria descended into chaos.noveldrama
