The Dark Knight picked up the glasses, noticing a barely visible set of runes carved into the edge of the lenses. Within the lenses, a thread of red energy slowly moved.
As he put on the glasses, everything before him instantly transformed, becoming extremely distorted as if the world was filled with malice. Sultan Novel Network.
"You mean this thing can tell who has been corrupted?"
"This power gives off a bad feeling, with a certain similarity to the power within Ye Haimo."
Wen Wen explained to the Dark Knight, "Most superpowers originate from the eight supreme rulers of the inner world; you should already know this."
"And in the real world, the power used by most monsters comes from seven of those supreme rulers. The power of the eighth ruler rarely appears."
"The power the Great Sage uses to corrupt superhumans comes from that one supreme ruler."
The Dark Knight's expression changed, "You mean… The Nameless King!"
Wen Wen nodded, "The power within these glasses, which I call 'madness,' also comes from The Nameless King. Therefore, one can see the Great Sage's power through these glasses."
"Later, I suggest you go out with these glasses. The scene you will witness will be unforgettable."
Wearing Wen Wen's glasses, the Dark Knight flew out of his base. He saw the blue-purple threads, and at the end of those threads, in the direction of the Australian region, a colossal blue-purple silhouette.
After watching for a long time, he flew down from the sky.
"I will prioritize the mass production of these glasses. We must be fast; we don't have much time left."
Wen Wen nodded, "You only need to produce the lenses and the runes on them. Then I will inject the madness into them."
Afterward, wearing the glasses, the Dark Knight quickly scanned his employees. He found that none of the regular staff members had been corrupted, but among the superpowered employees, about one-tenth had been corrupted by the Great Sage.
He recalled all the uncorrupted employees to the factory and began full-speed production of Wen Wen's glasses.
The materials required for the glasses were simple; the only complex part was the rune used to store madness. With the manufacturing capabilities of the Dark Knight's factory, it could be easily produced.
Once a certain quantity of mass-produced glasses was available, Wen Wen would then inject madness into them.
However, carving the runes took time, so Wen Wen and the Dark Knight continued to research the Great Sage's power together.
"What about Ye Haimo?" the Dark Knight asked.
He knew Wen Wen had sent Ye Haimo to a strange place, which was likely Wen Wen's trump card, and Ye Haimo should have woken up by now.
Wen Wen immersed his consciousness into the containment facility and found that Ye Haimo had woken up in a cell, looking at the dark cell with some fear.
Especially after seeing the慘狀 (tragic state) of the other two disaster-level monsters and the occasional passing Bai Mo, his scalp tingled.
However, in Wen Wen's eyes, the blue-purple aura on him had disappeared, leaving only a light-colored mark on his neck.
Wen Wen released Ye Haimo from the containment facility. Upon seeing Wen Wen and the Dark Knight, Ye Haimo's face lit up with joy.
"Why are you guys here? I'm telling you, I was captured by a terrifying place, and there…"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Haimo rolled his eyes, and then blue-purple tentacles appeared from the light-colored mark on his neck. His eyes became increasingly dangerous.
Wen Wen immediately grabbed him again and shook his head at the Dark Knight, "It seems his condition can only be slightly alleviated when I have him captured. Once he returns to reality, he will be controlled by the Great Sage again."
This was not good news, as it meant that although the disaster-level powerhouses corrupted by the Great Sage were not in mortal danger, they could no longer participate in the fight.
Furthermore, it was not yet certain if they would recover after the Great Sage's death. They might have to stay in Wen Wen's containment facility for the rest of their lives.
The two continued their research and made a new discovery.
There were two groups that were not affected by the Great Sage's corruption.
One group was the containment facility staff. Since the Great Sage began its corruption, some staff members had disappeared, but there had not been a single case of anyone being corrupted and controlled.
Wen Wen knew why this was the case: they were all protected by the facility's power, making it difficult for the Great Sage to complete its corruption.
The other group was ordinary people without any powers.
Perhaps it was because the Great Sage disdained to do so, but the fact that not a single ordinary person was affected seemed strange.
Therefore, Wen Wen and the Dark Knight conducted experiments using some death row inmates.
They eventually discovered that the Great Sage's power could indeed corrupt ordinary people. After all, with the power of ordinary people, there was no reason for them to resist the Great Sage's power.
However, ordinary people now had 'Qi' within their bodies. Qi was the manifestation of spiritual and physical power. Once they were corrupted, their Qi would dissipate.
After the Qi disappeared, the person immediately became listless, their eye sockets sunken, their skin black and blue, and they emitted an unpleasant odor. They could be seen as corrupted with the naked eye.
Wen Wen suddenly remembered what Vice President Srisin had said.
To safely resolve this disaster and achieve the best outcome, they would have to rely on the New Human Project.
Now it seemed that this prophecy was truly accurate. If the Great Sage could corrupt ordinary people without restraint, given the stealth of this power, even if they could win in the end, there might be less than one in ten ordinary people left.
"While the glasses are being produced, let's go and check on our Punishers. Hopefully, only Ye Haimo among them has been corrupted, otherwise, the consequences could be catastrophic."
The two exchanged glances and quickly boarded Wen Wen's Black Moon, flying rapidly to the locations of other disaster-level powerhouses to check them one by one.
For those who were corrupted, they placed a temporary mark. For those who were not corrupted, they were informed of the truth.
In just one day, they had visited all the disaster-level powerhouses on the Association's side.
The results were not optimistic. As expected, in addition to Ye Haimo, others had also been corrupted.
These individuals were unaware of their condition, but with just one command from the Great Sage, they would turn into enemies of the Hunter Association.
The worst situation was that of the Serpent God Kukulcan. Unlike Ye Haimo, whose will was merely affected, Kukulcan had been corrupted from the inside out by the blue-purple power.
Kukulcan was a deity born of faith. The indigenous people who worshipped him had all been corrupted by the Great Sage, and this corruption had also affected Kukulcan…
