Goku, who travels through countless worlds starting from Marvel.

Chapter 224 Lord of Light and Shadow

"Strange, where did this boy come from? Could it really be due to a mutation? That shouldn't be the case!"

At the very top of the wrecked spaceship, a young woman with striking short white hair watched everything unfolding below through advanced instruments.

Her name is Bai Yuekui, and she is an octogenarian neuroscientist.

Because of the injections of the Angel Potion and the Miracle K Potion, they gained eternal life, an ageless body, and immense power.

She has been dedicated to destroying the mana ecosystem that is threatening the world and saving humanity.

Her presence here was primarily to observe one of the skeletal clones, Subject 4, Mark.

But they unexpectedly saw a mutated boy with a tail who used his physical strength to punch and destroy several giant Devouring Beasts.

Although this level of power is far from what she possesses, it has actually surpassed the limits of normal humans.

Even in Dragonbone Village, which she founded, no one among the power-enhancing Awakened has reached this level.

The key boy is not from Dragonbone Village, has not undergone the development of his source potential, and is not an awakened one.

However, based on her understanding of the Devouring Beasts, even if she ate them every day, she wouldn't experience such a mutation.

She knows a lot about Mana ecology and Devourer Beasts.

In short, the mutant boy was shrouded in mystery, and even she couldn't quite figure him out.

"Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect the plan, let's ignore it for now."

Bai Yuekui shook his head and disappeared from the spot with a few leaps.

Her primary goal now is to find an opportunity to make the fourth test subject, Mark, a life chimera with unique triple-stranded DNA.

To complete the final plan to eliminate the mana ecosystem and completely resolve the issue.

Nothing else matters.

An hour later.

On the desolate plains, the hunter convoy was heading towards a giant lighthouse-like mechanical structure floating in the air.

That colossal mechanical structure is the beacon, humanity's last refuge, where tens of thousands of people live.

"Wukong, is your tail like this because you ate the Devouring Beast?"

Inside the armored vehicle, Erica stared at the tail swaying behind Goku and asked bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Little Wukong shook his head: "I have never eaten a Devouring Beast. I had a tail from birth."

"You don't have a tail? How pitiful."

"You're the pathetic one! No normal person has a tail!"

Erica bared her teeth, almost speechless at Goku's antics.

"If you don't eat Devouring Beasts, what do you usually eat?"

Jeff then asked in the narration.

The appearance of Little Goku was shrouded in mystery, and he and Erika were the first people to come into contact with him.

So Captain Mark told them to try to find out as much as possible about Goku's situation on their way back to the lighthouse.

"There's so much to eat: chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, crab, beef, lamb, wolves, tigers, dinosaurs..."

Little Wukong listed out all the ingredients he usually ate.

Jeff and Erica stared wide-eyed, but then raised their hands to interrupt him.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Because of the existence of the Devouring Beasts, things like chicken, duck, and fish should have become extinct on the ground long ago.

The lighthouse has these animals only because there are specially designated areas for them to be scientifically raised, resulting in a limited supply.

Generally, only the higher-ups of the Lighthouse can enjoy this without any scruples, even if they are upper-class citizens or elite members of the Hunters.

It also requires sufficient contributions to earn it.

Little Goku said that eating those things on the ground every day is simply impossible.

And then tigers and dinosaurs appeared later on, which made it a complete joke.

They assumed that Goku was lying because he didn't want to talk, even though he looked innocent and didn't seem like he was lying.

"By the way, do you still have family living on the surface?"

Erica was a little curious.

One of the three laws of the Lighthouse is to abolish family relationships and prohibit the occurrence of old-world intimate relationships such as kinship and love.

To prevent emotions from interfering with decision-making or forming family power.

Once discovered, they will all be executed.

All breeding tasks are arranged by the Lighthouse's Light and Shadow Society and completed in the Dawn Hall.

The newborn children were immediately taken away for centralized care.

Therefore, Erica was curious whether the family relationships of the old world still existed for a child like Goku who was born on Earth.

At the same time, it was also to further investigate whether there were any other living humans on the surface.

"No, I was abandoned in the mountains when I was a child. My grandfather adopted me. Later, my grandfather went to the underworld, and I lived alone."

I am currently practicing diligently, hoping to find a powerful master to spar with and improve myself.

By the way, who's the most capable person at your lighthouse?

Little Wukong replied calmly.

However, his reply clearly left Erica and Jeff somewhat bewildered.

Abandoned at a young age, were his parents among the very few survivors who had struggled to survive on the surface of the earth?

If so, it's probably not that it was abandoned; it's more likely that its life essence was absorbed by the Devouring Beast and turned into its physical form.

The grandfather who saved him might have been one of the old men they exiled from the lighthouse.

He died later.

This child was left alone to wander the world. Because of his naturally mutated and powerful body, he kept fighting off the Devouring Beasts that wanted to eat him, and that's how he survived.

Through continuous mental conjecture and understanding of Little Goku's words, they came to a general guess about Little Goku's background.

"If you're talking about the most powerful guy in the Lighthouse, then it must be the Lord of Light and Shadow. After all, that guy is touted as omnipotent."

Jeff casually answered Goku's question.

But his expression revealed his disdain for the Lord of Light and Shadow.

The Lord of Light and Shadow is the god worshipped by the Light and Shadow Church, the only religion of the Lighthouse.

The Church of Light and Shadow brainwashes everyone every day, attributing all good things to the blessing of the Lord of Light and Shadow and to the prayers of their Church of Light and Shadow.

The hunters fight the Devouring Beasts to the death every day down there, while the Shadow Society takes the lion's share with just a few words.

Isn't that infuriating?

Therefore, the hunters all scoffed at the so-called omnipotent Lord of Light and Shadow.

"Jeff, you'd better watch your words. If the Church of Light and Shadow finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

Erica quickly offered a reminder upon hearing this.

Even their captain, Mark, wouldn't dare mess with the movie screening, let alone them.

"I'm not afraid of them."

Jeff retorted stubbornly, but didn't continue complaining.

However, their conversation made Goku remember the name "Lord of Light and Shadow".

He planned to go to the Church of Light and Shadow to spar with the Lord of Light and Shadow once he reached the lighthouse.

"This is the Wilderness Hunter. The gathering mission is complete. The Wilderness Hunter requests to return."

At the front of the armored vehicle, Captain Mark, who had been listening to Little Goku, Erica, and Jeff behind him, confidently pressed the communication button to connect to the lighthouse.

On the other end of the communicator, a sigh of relief came from the voice that the data collection mission was complete, followed by a reply: "Captain Mark, welcome back. Descend to elevator ES01!"

"Hunter received."
