At that, the look in his eyes as he stared at the Mushroom changed completely... Being hunted by the Pope twice had left him deeply scarred.
'Could this Mushroom be connected to the Pope somehow?'
'Or... has this Tier Five Mutated Fungus actually been parasitized by the Pope?'
'If that's true, then the bodies underground would make sense. The Evolution Divine Teachings must have sent them!'
'The Evolution Divine Teachings delivers the corpses of refugees for their Pope's avatar to absorb and grow. It makes perfect sense.'
"Pope!" Su Ze called out tentatively. He appeared quite certain, but in truth, he wasn't sure at all.
"Su Ze," the Mushroom's voice resonated in his mind. "I didn't expect you to grow so quickly. I truly missed my chances the last two times by not making you a part of me. But it's not too late."
'It really is him!'
Su Ze instinctively sensed the danger and wanted to flee. He really had no desire for any further contact with this twisted creature.
