The assistant arrived almost immediately, bowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let anyone know I’m not here,” Admiral Ru instructed calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Boss Su comes asking, delay her. Make up something—say I’m in meditation or recovering from the attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, sir,” the assistant nodded without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru gave Madam Queen a final look, then gestured for her to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they left through a hidden passage behind his private chamber, quietly slipping out of the Rover Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sleek black car waited a short distance away, parked behind a cluster of collapsed metal beams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked ahead briskly, eyes glinting with calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, he opened the driver’s side and sat in. Then he waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen paused for a beat, scanning the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was testing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Madam Queen always liked to ride shotgun—said it made her feel like she was “in control, but still pampered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Madam Queen casually slid into the passenger seat without hesitation, Admiral Ru’s shoulders loosened a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in his chest eased. That’s how she always did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he started the engine, and the car sped through the dusty path leading away from the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable—at least not for him. He needed time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At exactly fifteen kilometers away, he pulled the car over beside a rock formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out and pulled a round metallic orb from his coat pocket. With a flick of his wrist, he threw it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orb bounced once, then a flash of blue light exploded out, forming a shimmering portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru turned to Madam Queen. “Come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped out without questioning and followed him through the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature dropped instantly on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were standing in a vast desert-like wasteland. The sky above was a hazy purple-gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath their feet cracked dryly with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of them stood seven towering white pillars, cracked but somehow still glowing with eerie light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of those pillars was a throne—but no one could see who sat on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The throne shimmered oddly, as if cloaked by a veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the figure was invisible, a suffocating pressure weighed down on Madam Queen’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs felt weak, and she unconsciously stepped closer to Admiral Ru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t take her to the throne or the pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he veered left, leading her toward a seemingly out-of-place office building nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure looked old but intact. Gray walls, steel windows, and flickering lights greeted them as they stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the building, the air was unnaturally still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans wandered the hallways and rooms… but they weren’t alive. Not truly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were vacant. Their expressions emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved like puppets, guided only by routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen said nothing, but her fingers tightened around the edge of her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru noticed. He frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Madam Queen he remembered wouldn’t have been so quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used to smirk at these humans, treat them like toys. She used to say they were her “guilty pleasures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he lifted his hand and gestured to a nearby figure—one of Madam Queen’s former favorites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was young, lean, and shirtless. His skin was marked with old bruises, and a dullness lingered in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still responded immediately, walking forward like a dog summoned by its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru didn’t say anything. He simply watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen turned slowly… and the moment her eyes met the human’s form, her expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pupils dilated, and her gaze darkened with unmistakable desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smirk curled her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru exhaled silently. That’s more like it. He had been overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the torture had made her a bit quieter than usual, but her instincts were still intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s get you fully healed,” he said, motioning toward a room down the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, a superhuman with healing powers sat in a chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman looked about thirty, with faded blonde hair and sunken cheeks. Her eyes were vacant, just like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Treat her,” Admiral Ru commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer slowly raised her hands. A soft, golden light began to pulse from her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Admiral Ru stepped out of the room, the healer moved toward Madam Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands hovered above the bruises and lash marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm light washed over Madam Queen’s battered skin, and the pain dulled into a bearable ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Admiral Ru left the room, Madam Queen’s expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around, studying every corner of the small office room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air smelled sterile, mixed with a faint metallic tang, like blood and antiseptic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human healer sat quietly on a stool near the corner, staring at the blank wall like he was in a trance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were dull, lifeless. No spark. No resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen took a slow step toward him. She waved her hand gently in front of his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reaction at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he even aware of her presence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello?” she whispered, her voice echoing faintly in the quiet room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if following some silent command, the healer’s hand moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up like a puppet on strings and walked to the cabinet, pulling out a small white jar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were mechanical, slow, and hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a cotton cloth, opened the jar, and dipped it inside. A faint herbal scent filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned toward her, motioning for her to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen slowly lowered herself onto a steel chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healer knelt beside her and began tending to the bruises on her arms with practiced hands. H\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is touch was gentle, careful, but completely devoid of emotion. It was like he wasn’t really there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen couldn’t help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen lifeless humans before, but this was… different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people weren’t just broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were emptied out, like all their desires, thoughts, and identities had been scrubbed clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the healer continued working on her, she glanced toward the small window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, she saw one of the white pillars standing in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the healer pressed his palm to her shoulder, and a warm light glowed from his hand. Madam Queen’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healing power felt different from Admiral Ru’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… don’t have a choice, do you?” she muttered softly to the healer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no answer. Of course, there wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at her arms. The bruises were already fading. Her cuts sealed shut, and the pain ebbed away. She should have been grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, all she felt was dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the door creaked open and Admiral Ru stepped inside again. His expression was calm, composed, but his sharp eyes immediately landed on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quiet,” he noted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen blinked and quickly nodded. “I was just… tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at her arms, now mostly healed. “Good. You look better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to your arrangements,” she said sweetly, hiding her unease behind a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You used to like talking more. You’d be asking questions about the pillars by now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then gave a small laugh. “I was just waiting for the right moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a short nod and turned toward the healer. “That’ll be enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human stepped back, returned the jar to the cabinet, and resumed his blank stare at the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru motioned Madam Queen to follow him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s someone I want you to meet. Someone who’s been… helping with our cause. You’ll like him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen stood up, her legs still a bit shaky from the healing. “Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stopped at a wide steel door, covered in ancient markings that pulsed with faint blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Ru placed his hand on the center, and the markings shifted, glowing brighter as the door hissed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a wide chamber, dimly lit by glowing symbols carved into the stone floor. At the very center, a woman sat cross-legged within a glowing circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was slender and petite, wearing a long white cloak embroidered with intricate blue patterns that shimmered faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her black hair was tied into a low braid, and a blindfold was wrapped tightly around her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood ran down slowly from the corners of her closed eyes, trailing down her pale cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was chanting—soft, rhythmic words in a language Madam Queen didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words made the air hum with power, and the circle beneath her feet pulsed in time with each phrase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Queen stared, frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elisha,” Admiral Ru said softly, his voice respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her, the chanting woman, and for a moment, a flicker of something passed through his eyes—pity, perhaps, or guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisha had once been a brilliant seer—gifted, powerful, too bold for her own good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she made a critical error during an operation that cost them vital resources and lives, she was sentenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her punishment: pluck out her own eyes every full moon and offer them to the pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>",1551,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","173ef40d43a05532146f57f1195c97c13d3d64fb0e8b2608d6a1f5db633e41d2","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-482","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-480",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
