Ocean Master

Chapter 187 - Life As A Test Subject.

In the blink of an eye, another 3 weeks passed with Sebastian still in captivity.

During these weeks, Sebastian had nothing doing. Though he woke up long ago, he could do nothing since his power did not recover completely with him. His power recovered in an agonizingly slow motion.

For this one month, he was nothing more than a test subject.

And now, once again, the enthusiastic doctor was back with his dangerous crew to perform their dark works on his body.

"Raise the iron cage, increase the pressure of the steel bars".

"Yes, Doctor Statham".

"Inject 5 doses of mannequin torium into his bloodstream, the Megalodon proved more resilient than we thought to the suppressants".

"And also, suppress his magic organ with 2 doses of killer wine tonic".

Whoosh!

With a loud sound, the cage that Sebastian was held in was raised up, high above the other cages as it was hung against a giant hook that was attached to the top of this laboratory.

After doing this, tight ropes were attached to Sebastian's enormous body, and he was pulled up, turning his body upside down in the cage.

After this, even stronger ropes, this time metal ropes with a faint red light flickering through them came as they were attached to Sebastian's body, keeping him firmly in place.

These strong metal ropes not only restricted Sebastian's body firmly but also tightly restricted the flow of the still weak magic power in his body.

Paired with the 2 tonics that were just injected inside his body, he was firmly suppressed and restricted.

After this, the group of apprentice doctors heaved a sigh of relief, the big fellow was finally restrained and could now be worked on.

While this was done, Sebastian began to feel dizzy and weak. He didn't panic though, he was used to this, these were the effects of the 2 tonics that were just injected inside his body which he had already gotten used to over the past month.

"Inject the nerve killer".

Whoosh!

After this, Sebastian's nerves were temporarily fried, he could not feel any pain again, granting the doctors the perfect platform that they needed to work.

Throughout all these, Sebastian was as calm and obedient as a mouse.

Under the leadership of Doctor Statham, the apprentice mage doctors started working on his body, of course, this was accompanied by tearing and cutting.

Ptui!

His belly was cut apart, but the blood did not flow out because of another mechanism that was activated by the Atlantian Doctors.

Doctor Statham hovered at the side, calmly ordering his apprentices.

This Doctor had a firm face like a rock, with flat facial features that made him look like a wall. His hair was messy and curled like fried pasta rolls, his eyes were sharp but dark like the abyss like they could see through everything.

He was clothed in a white flowing robe, a robe that did not get wet despite the water submerging this laboratory. And in his mouth stuck a toothpick which he occasionally shifted from the left side of his mouth to the right.

With his dark eyes that glimmered occasionally with wisdom and excitement, he stared fixedly at this priceless test subject.

This was the man who saved Sebastian's life and also captured him.

After over a month of being worked on by him, Sebastian already knew him from head to toe, from his habits, to his catchphrases, and to his strange hobby of always having a toothpick stuck in his mouth. 

The excited look on the Doctor's face whenever he laid his eyes on him, Sebastian also already got used to it. He felt nostalgic anytime he saw that look on the Doctor's face, it felt like he was looking at himself on earth.

Due to the casualties during the operation of rescuing and capturing Sebastian and the purple-tier old toad, it attracted the attention of the leader of the Crimson Fleet, Sergeant Barnes.

Of course, Doctor Statham was ready for the Sergeant.

As the head Doctor of the whole fleet, and the only master-level anatomist of the fleet, despite not being a soldier, he was someone with status.

Despite this, it could not warrant the death of so many soldiers. It could not warrant it, but he had an explanation.

First, due to Sebastian using his cardiac sphincter constrictor skill, he was too eye-catching, being the first-ever orange tier Great White Shark that the doctor has seen towering at such an enormous size.

Though later, he shrank back to 15 meters, it didn't matter anymore since it was discovered that this big fellow was actually a Megalodon!

This changed the narrative immediately. In the whole history of the Crimson Fleet, this was the first time that their doctors were capturing a real ancient Megalodon which had great significance.

Just this alone was enough of an explanation.

The bloodline of this shark was not only extremely valuable, but his body's research value to the fleet was also priceless, and most significant of all was that there was a high chance of the race's target being him.

In history, every Black tier predator always left an inheritance before death. And those that always inherited them were frighteningly talented predators, which was a category that Sebastian fit in perfectly.

Without a doubt, Sebastian's value was priceless.

Due to this, Doctor Statham received the Sergeant's full support, which granted him all that he needed to experiment freely on the shark.

This was not without fruits. After 2 weeks of experimenting with the Megalodon's blood, he created a tonic that could help the fleet's mages in recovering their vitality in battle.

The best fact was that this was 3 times more effective than the tonic originally available to the fleet, this was the benefit of experimenting on a Megalodon and he believed that there were more benefits.

Because of this, he worked on Sebastian every 3 days. The intervals were to allow the shark to rest and slowly recover from the strain each time.

Throughout this one month, Sebastian remained docile not only because he was powerless, but because as they experimented on him, he also got the privilege to see more of Atlantians and understand them.

Sebastian was now like a captured army General, without his troops, he could only lie low and strategize on how to escape and make a comeback.

And after this one month, he already had some breakthroughs. And this breakthrough was mostly because of this Doctor Statham, this was why Sebastian never threw tantrums, unlike the old toad who wreaked havoc each time.

2 hours later, the experimentation finally ended.

As soon as Sebastian was released and placed back safely in his cage, with the Doctors leaving, his originally dizzy and weak eyes snapped open.

He wasn't looking at the departing doctors, rather his consciousness was focused on his system notification, an old system notification.

Precisely, the unique system clue after he woke up from the disaster.
