Otaku Witch-Chapter 698 - 487. Evil Breed
"So-called 'Evil Breeds' are actually..."
Under the intense gaze of the onlookers, the Director of the Mediterranean Institute quickly confessed everything.
"Evil Breeds" are in fact another research subject preserved within the institute, a Superpower User.
With the advancement of technology, the exploration of human potential and research on gene editing technology inevitably became prioritized, making the birth of Superpower Users a matter of course.
Even though within the Magic Republic there were already the paths of the Heroic Spirit Armament and Magic Girl, both of these professions had such high barriers to entry that they couldn't be made widespread among ordinary people.
However, with the successful advent of miniature nanomachines, some scientific researchers turned their attention toward human genetic modification. They quickly achieved certain results and created some so-called Superpower Users.
It's just that the abilities of these Superpower Users were mostly quite weak. They were nothing more than some enhanced physical abilities, or chameleon-like camouflage skin, and other biological capabilities. They only surpassed the scope of human beings but had not yet reached the level of stepping out of the mundane world.
Even the most successful ones merely mastered the control of elemental forces such as water and fire to the extent that they could not freely manipulate them.
In any case, they were no match for the Heroic Spirit Armament or Magic Girl. Currently, this technology could only be considered a toy for the wealthy.
But "Evil Breed" was different. She was not one of those artificially evolved Modified Humans from the laboratory; instead, she was a natural Superpower User conceived by two Modified Humans.
This was abnormal because, according to research, the modified genes of Superpower Users apparently didn't have hereditary traits. Their children would generally remain normal humans. However, "Evil Breed" was thus far the only exception.
Moreover, the little girl's superpower was extraordinarily strong, far beyond the false powers of her parents.
Her ability was "Mind Reading".
Such a precious sample naturally caught the entire Magic Republic's attention. Genetic modification scholars from all over the country went crazy for it…

"So you took her into your institute? She's just a child?"
The plump director was still recounting the tale when a voice, choked with anger, interrupted him. Turning around, they saw the Black Sheep Witch, filled with fury in her eyes, struggling to suppress her killing intent.
Dorothy could understand Koreya's feelings; such a past must have touched on the old wounds of the Black Sheep Witch. After all, once upon a time, she was nearly captured by heretics who worshipped her Demon God father to be turned into an experimental subject.
Besides, the future Black Sheep Sage was famously fond of children, and she loathed seeing children mistreated more than anything. If these institutes were indeed forcibly taking the young girl to experiment on her, then such actions were undoubtedly touching the Inverse Scales of the head of the Magical Armor Knight Order.
In fact, Dorothy was also quite angry. After all, while human experimentation had its necessity, those conducted without the subject's consent were unquestionably evil acts, especially when involving children as the subjects. Such acts were inexcusable and merited immediate capital punishment.
If Dorothy still had her previous life's temperament, she might have already exploded with rage ahead of Koreya, but now she felt more sorrow than anger.
Although a large forest inevitably hosts all kinds of birds, and the Magic Republic was so vast that having some darkness was to be expected, rationality aside, the thought of her own nation, after five hundred years of development, engaging in such vile acts still saddened her.
Especially since the ruler of this country was her own good sister from childhood.
With Denisha's abilities and strength, there was no way she could be unaware of the laboratory's activities, so was she just watching all this unfold?
If it were the God King in reality, endorsing human experiments would not be surprising; she was capable of such actions. But this Denisha of Witch's Night...
Dorothy thought her good sister might have changed somewhat, but now it seemed...
"Lord, what are you talking about? Are you questioning my devotion to the Church of Machinery as a Mechanical Monk? The principle of human-centered theology is something we always keep at the heart. You should read fewer of those conspiracy theory novels on the market. We Mechanical Monks aren't that bad."
Upon hearing this, the until now docile Director of the Mediterranean Institute immediately furrowed his brow, then he lifted his head and puffed out his chest, showing off his chest badge sparkling with the sparks of a forged Holy Hammer.
This was the identity proof of a Mechanical Monk of the Church of Machinery, which was not surprising since most of the scientific researchers in the Magic Republic were Mechanical Monks of the Church of Machinery.
In the Magic Republic, Mechanical Monks were essentially equivalent to the scientists of Dorothy's previous life.
It's just that they weren't only scholars, but also devout believers, even first and foremost believers, and only secondarily scholars.
You could question their character, question their knowledge, but what couldn't be questioned was their devotion and loyalty to the Church of Machinery.
And within the doctrine of the Church of Machinery, human experimentation of an oppressive nature was strictly prohibited.
