Project: Abyss Gate\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With wide, glassy eyes that weren’t human anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…They said they’d send me home…” it gurgled, its voice thick with anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jane hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that hesitation almost cost her— The mutant ripped free, moving faster than it should. But before it could reach her— Zoe’s tentacles wrapped around its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was tight, her lips pressed into a thin line. “This is so messed up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third mutant shrieked—a thin, withered thing, its body stitched together in places where it shouldn’t be. It trembled, arms reaching for Bella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Please… I don’t want to fight…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella snarled, a Fireball forming in her palm. “Then stay dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames engulfed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was short, brutal, and left a bad taste in their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last mutant collapsed, the silence that followed was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team stood in the aftermath, unspeaking, the weight of what just happened settling on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larissa kicked over the twisted remains of the last monster, her eyes dark. “That wasn’t normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No shit,” Shea muttered, wiping blackened blood off her blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian let out a slow breath. “They talked,” she said, her usual playful tone absent. “Not just random monster nonsense—they actually… talked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They remembered,” Jane added, voice low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe crossed her arms. “And that means something really bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen didn’t respond immediately. His gaze flicked to the surroundings, his mind racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then— A glow caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint red light, flickering from one of the broken machines nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, the others following as they spotted it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single button, half-buried in the wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella tilted her head, frowning. “That’s… new.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it got activated when we wiped those things out,” Zoe suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jane narrowed her eyes. “Or it’s a trap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shea crossed her arms, wings shifting. “I mean, considering this place? That’s a very high possibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian smirked. “Only one way to find out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment—nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then— A low mechanical whir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A holographic projection flickered to life, hovering just above the wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scientist, wearing a pristine white coat, standing in a version of the facility that wasn’t ruined, broken, or dripping in horror. The background showed functional machinery, well-lit hallways, and workers moving in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientist looked… tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He huffed, rubbing a hand down his face, looking as if he hadn’t slept in weeks. His eyes were sunken, and despite the pristine lab coat, he looked… defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Day 87.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was quiet, heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We got the order to take the injured soldiers… and make them into experiments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room seemed to grow colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientist let out a shaky breath, running a hand through his disheveled hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They can’t be fighters anymore,” he murmured. “So… we have to make them into something else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curled into a bitter, hollow smile, his fingers gripping the desk in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We lied to their comrades, of course,” he admitted, his voice distant. “Told them we were taking care of them. That we were treating them or sending them home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recording glitched, the scientist’s face flickering for a moment—before his tired, guilty eyes returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the image warped, as if the projection itself was struggling to keep playing. Then, with a low mechanical buzz, the recording continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We never should’ve accepted the deal,” the scientist muttered, his voice carrying a deep weight. “But when a high-ranking sorcerer says jump, you don’t ask why. You just do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen’s eyes narrowed, the words striking something familiar in the back of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientist exhaled sharply, leaning forward, elbows resting on a cluttered desk covered in notes and arcane symbols. “Brilliant beyond her years, they said. Respected among scholars and mages alike. A visionary. A pioneer in arcane research. Someone who believed in unlocking the limits of magic through science.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers tightened into a fist, his knuckles going white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She was one of the leading minds behind the project,” he admitted, his voice turning bitter. “A secret initiative designed to do the impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projection glitched again, and suddenly, new data flashed in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Codename: E. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Project: Abyss Gate ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Objective: Establish a pathway into the Devil Emperor’s domain. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shea cursed under her breath. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe’s tentacles twitched, her expression dark. “They were trying to break into our base?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientist continued, rubbing his temples. “They wanted to open a gateway. Directly into the Devil Emperor’s domain. A pathway for an army. A way to end him once and for all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen’s expression remained neutral, but his grip on his sword tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scientist let out a weak, humorless chuckle. “I know this is crazy. I know that none of us should be messing with something this dangerous.” He shook his head. “But yeah… we have to do it anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His next words echoed through the ruined lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a necessary sacrifice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recording was cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence that followed was deafening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, nobody spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice let out an irritated scoff, flipping her staff between her hands. “Uh… so this asshole sorcerer is the source of all this, huh?” Her violet eyes narrowed. “If I find her, I’m kicking her ass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian smirked, folding her arms. “Oh, don’t worry, sweetheart. We’ll all get a turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jane let out a slow breath, rolling her shoulders. “So… they were trying to invade us. And instead, they ended up creating a hellhole of their own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bella flicked some ash off her sleeve. “Love that for them. Real poetic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larissa crossed her arms, her crimson gaze locked on the now-dark projection screen. “This explains why the scientists started going insane,” she muttered. “They weren’t just experimenting on random subjects. They were breaking rules that shouldn’t have been broken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shea ran a hand through her hair, wings shifting uneasily. “And I’m guessing it went horribly wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-02T07:44:28.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","789e1fde744a057ca1738cd7abf1c0b9721c5f638236716f247512847b25c991","villain-mmorpg-almighty-devil-emperor-and-his-se-chapter-1441","villain-mmorpg-almighty-devil-emperor-and-his-se-chapter-1439",2048,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillain-mmorpg-almighty-devil-emperor-and-his-se-cover.jpg"]
