Chapter 743 About a fish's ability to fly?!

William glanced up at the elderly man, recognizing his attire immediately.

The old professor!

Such individuals typically displayed their academic talents during their studies and devoted themselves entirely to research. Apart from their specific topics, it was difficult to engage their interest in anything else.

Social niceties?

To them, these were utterly irrelevant.

It wasn't that their approach was bad,after all, human energy is limited. Once they focused on something, it was hard for them to be distracted by other matters. Only through such dedication could they achieve perfection in their academic research.

"Dr. Sanger, this young man named William understands various habits and weaknesses of the mutated creatures. I've asked him to organize some data," Samuel explained, his usually good temper helping him maintain a careful smile, especially since he had used the computer without permission from such a respected scholar.

Frederick Sanger had only stepped away for a short rest when he heard from his assistant that Samuel had brought someone to access the main computer of the data library.

This was unacceptable!

Frederick stormed back into the lab, only to find a young man sitting at his computer.

He knew his computer contained numerous research materials, the results of countless hours of work and the sacrifices of many.

He could tolerate personal attacks, but tampering with the data on his computer was absolutely off-limits!

If Samuel wasn't the highest commander of Arcane Village, Frederick would have already called security to remove him!

"He understands the habits and weaknesses of the mutated creatures?" Frederick paused for a moment, pushed up his glasses, and asked, "Which mutated creatures are you referring to?"

William looked at Frederick and said, "All known mutated creatures."

Others might respect the elderly, but William only had additional regard for Frederick because of his dedication to scientific research.

"Then hurry up and organize the relevant data!" Upon hearing William's statement, Frederick's eyes lit up. There was no hint of skepticism, as if it was perfectly natural for William to know all this.

"Let's get started then!" Samuel knew Frederick's temperament well,he wouldn't be upset knowing that William had more information about the mutated creatures.

Without wasting time, William booted up the computer and quickly located the database on mutated creatures.

Currently, the Arcane Village base had just over five hundred documents related to mutated creatures, categorized by different levels from SSS to D, with each level having its own folder.

He casually opened the first folder labeled SSS.

It contained a photograph taken from the sky.

The photo showed an immensely large monster bursting through the surface of the ocean, creating terrifyingly high waves, with its sharp, enormous teeth looking ferocious and dreadful.

[Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth]

[Suspected mutation from a Bryde's whale.]

[Length: 4000 feet, Weight: about 11,023 short tons]

[Strength: Unknown.]

[Danger Level: SSS]

That was all the information available.

Seeing this, William asked, "This information about the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth was deduced from satellite surveillance, right?"

"Of course," Frederick replied. "The Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth merely surfaced, and the resulting tsunami submerged three coastal cities, causing thirteen million deaths. It's probably the most powerful mutated creature we know of so far, and its detailed data is hard to control."

"But based on our assessment, the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth should still retain the living habits of a Bryde's whale and would not come onto land."

William nodded and said, "Generally, it retains the habits of a Bryde's whale, but after mutation, it has developed a preference for blood and has become more murderous. Importantly, it has now acquired the ability to fly."

Frederick furrowed his brow, "The ability to fly? What makes you say that?"

"If the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth just lived at the bottom of the ocean, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to creatures on land," William explained. "But if it has the ability to fly, that changes everything."

"I won't explain further. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do," William said. He was there to provide information, and with tens of thousands of pieces of data, most of which were unknown to humanity, it would be impractical to explain each piece in detail.

"Science demands rigor!" Frederick insisted. "Without relevant evidence, making unfounded claims is unacceptable."

William responded with a smile, "Science at best explains phenomena that have already occurred. For what science cannot explain, we turn to theology. Now, with Soulmancers everywhere, you talk to me about science?"

Frederick stubbornly shook his head, "Even though there are many Soulmancers in the world today, it doesn't mean that science cannot explain how one becomes a Soulmancer. Theology isn't beyond scientific explanation either."

"Dr. Jhin once said, there's nothing that science cannot explain!"

Jhin was Dr. Lopez from the 13th Bureau, who had researched how to combat Soulmancers. William had some interactions with him, and Jhin greatly admired William.

William also held high regard for Jhin, who had tried to challenge divine beings with mere human inventions. His creation, the space ion cannon, had once blown the head off a powerful demon, a being nearly as strong as a Nature Deity...

As a pioneer in using science to challenge theology, Jhin was revered by countless scholars.

"Uh, alright, let's move on to the next one," William said, his consciousness already reaching into the deep sea, where he found a Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth asleep.

"You! Fly for me! Keep it quiet, slowly ascend to the sky. I don't want to see anyone die, or you will!"

William's consciousness conveyed this message to the sleeping Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth.

The Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth shuddered in fright, causing countless fish to flee in panic in the deep sea.

As the dominant creature of the deep sea after its mutation, it was acutely aware of how terrifying the consciousness that had just communicated with it was.

If it didn't comply, it faced certain death.

Can't a single human die?

The Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth slowly made its way from the deep sea towards the surface.

Its movements were a bit slow.

William was somewhat dissatisfied: "Are you sleepwalking here? Hurry up!"

It had to be fast, yet not a single human could die.

The Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth felt conflicted. It could only swim towards the sea areas far from land, continuously using sonar to scan the surface of the water.

What if there are humans on the surface of the sea?

If a human died, wouldn't it mean death for it too?

However, its concerns were clearly unnecessary. Since the global mutation, the seas had become even more dangerous than the lands, and no one would risk crossing the sea.

Finally, the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth reached the surface and slowly poked its head out.

The massive head appeared, immediately detected by space satellites.

Almost instantly, all the bases around the world received the information: "Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth spotted at the center of the Pacific."

At the same time, the bases also received live video feeds.

Nowadays, with major cities around the world isolated from each other and researchers dispersed, many pieces of information had to be shared online.
