The deeper the Evolution King walked, the quieter the underground city became. No cocoons lined the walls. No wandering zombies guarded the passage. Only absolute silence remained.
Eventually he arrived at the heart of the underground city. Floating at its center was an enormous sphere of pulsating flesh. It measured hundreds of meters in diameter. Its crimson surface continuously expanded and contracted like the beating heart of an ancient titan.
Thousands upon thousands of black veins stretched outward from its body, burrowing into every wall, every pillar, every tunnel, every corner of the underground city.
With each heartbeat, the entire city pulsed alongside it.
Thump… Thump… Thump…
The sound echoed endlessly through the darkness.
The Evolution King slowly approached the gigantic sphere. Despite its monstrous appearance, his expression remained calm, almost respectful. He gently placed one hand upon its warm surface.
