Chapter 96 is all the truth.
"Between us...it was a forced love."

Mo Yu looked embarrassed and gave an ambiguous answer.

Govia looked enlightened.

Who is forcing whom?

Of course, the strong force the weak.

Who is stronger and who is weaker?

The humans before them did possess some strength, but only a little, as insignificant as ants in the mortal world.

After Govia arrived at the answer, her expression became even stranger, showing some self-doubt.

"Are you an Awakened One?"

"Yes, my body is different from ordinary people. I am very strong and have excellent physical fitness."

Mo Yu answered.

He was telling the truth.

He even gave a demonstration, tearing off the metal bar from the seat with his bare hands and kneading it into a ball like dough.

Govia nodded and said, "Sequence 17 - Super Physique, Sequence 31 - Enhancement, Sequence 91 - Force Field Manipulation... Many can achieve this level. Which one are you?"

"Neither," Mo Yu replied.

Govia nodded, not particularly concerned. If it was just a regular enhancement-type sequence ability, it wouldn't be of much value. She had countless experts under her command; Mo Yu wasn't even qualified to be a mere soldier. She labeled Mo Yu as "harmless and useless," but her curiosity hadn't waned.

She didn't understand Alice's choice.

What's so special about humans?

He is indeed very handsome and has excellent physical abilities, but... he's too weak!
After careful consideration, Govia unleashed her mental manipulation once more.

Mo Yu only dazed for a moment before breaking free of control.

Govia exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Your mental strength is this strong too?"

"What did you do?" Mo Yu asked back.

Govia said, "It's nothing."

This time, she didn't send her underlings to attack. Instead, she circled around Mo Yu, observing him closely before asking, "Whose side are you on now? The First Prince? The Second Princess? Or the Third Prince?"

Mo Yu replied, "What do you mean?"

"Hmph, stop pretending. Everyone who comes here is here for that thing, aren't they?" Govia pointed to the monsters in the distance. "See for yourself."

Mo Yu looked at the group of monsters, and then he heard something that left him completely bewildered.

The shark-man prison guard shouted through a megaphone, "Now line up according to your faction! The First Prince's people, come this way. From left to right: the Second Princess, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince... Don't line up in the wrong place!"

Six members of the royal family.

Six forces.

There are also spies from the Vampire Dynasty and the Kingdom of Beasts.

Mo Yu was speechless.

Were all the people who came undercover agents?!

And why are these people obediently queuing up?!
He observed carefully and found that the monsters were not in a good state. Their eyes were somewhat dull, their movements were slow, and their bodies were swaying, as if they were hypnotized and completely obeyed the prison guards' commands.

Govia has complete control here.

Alpha is right.

Her abilities are concentrated in mind manipulation. Despite being only a 3rd-stage evolved being, she can control 4th-stage evolved beings for her own use, and all the monsters in the prison obey her commands. The monsters that just entered were collectively controlled without even realizing it.

Mo Yu asked, "Are they being controlled? Why are they so obedient?"

Govia said, "Mind control requires an absolute difference in strength; I was just using a little trick."

When asked about details of her abilities, Goviya declined to answer.

Mo Yu wouldn't ask any further questions.

He also understood that it meant nothing to Govia who he served. She didn't care about the situation in the North Sea Empire; the monsters that came here would fall into her trap and become her toys. She was only there for the curiosities.

Mo Yu skipped over the question of her origins and pressed for information about her 'hiding place'.

"Are all these people looking for a 'hiding place'? You are too?"

"Otherwise what? I've been waiting here for half a year."

"Let me help you, I've always had good luck."

Mo Yu looked at Ge Viya with eager eyes.

This strange object must be very special, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted Govia to come here and stake it out.

Govia blinked her big eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled knowingly and replied, "I'm different from her. I'm not interested in humans."

Mo Yu: "?"

What is this guy talking about?
Wait, could it be that...

Considering his current role and Govia's mocking expression, he understood her second meaning. She was implying that he shouldn't be slutty; she and Alice were not the same person, and he shouldn't use her as a substitute just because they looked similar.

That's a good excuse.

He was still thinking of ways to find a reason to stick to her.

The ability to see through lies has significant limitations for him. He can't just make up an identity to deceive others; it's difficult to find a suitable reason that the other party is willing to believe.

The other party offered him a great excuse, which he used to back down gracefully.

With a sincere look in his eyes, he said, "Give me a chance, let me stay by your side."

Govia said, "If you can find the 'hiding place,' bring me the key, and I can make an exception and make you my retainer to stay by my side."

"It's a deal," Mo Yu agreed.

Both sides, each with their own ulterior motives, reached an agreement.

Govia beckoned to Alpha with her finger, unleashing a burst of powerful mental energy that lifted Alpha up and pulled it to her side, saying, "It's my pet."

Alpha: "Woof!"

Mo Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

It seems that Govia doesn't know what Alpha is, otherwise she wouldn't treat it like a pet.

Govia raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? You're reluctant to give it to me?"

"How could that be? Alpha, you must behave well with your new master."

"Wang."

The man and the dog exchanged glances.

Alpha retracted its tongue and stuck it out from the other side, panting heavily.

Govia turned and left.

"Wait a minute! Aren't you going to share some information about the 'hideout'?"

"Aren't you trying to prove yourself? Investigate it yourself. I'm granting you the right to act freely; they won't bother you."

After leaving a message, Govia disappeared through the door.

This guy is a real entertainer.

Mo Yu retreated back into the monster horde. Unlike before, the monsters now looked at him with more fear.

As he pondered how to proceed, blood-red words appeared on the panel before him.

[Legendary unit detected, one of the Eight Sages, the King. Find a way to capture him to unlock the related legend page. Quest reward: 1 Ability Point.]

As expected, the mission was triggered.

This time, killing is not allowed; the only option is to capture.

Mo Yu didn't even consider this task.

His capture of Alice was purely accidental. If he were to actually encounter a top-tier red-name boss like the Eight Sages, he wouldn't stand a chance. Capturing her was simply wishful thinking; the allure of his hideout was far greater.

He wanted to pull a tooth out of the tiger's mouth.

"This is your ID card, it has your room number on it. Go and collect your supplies yourself."

The shark-man prison guard took out a sign and handed it to Mo Yu, giving him a "do as you please" look, without restricting his freedom at all.

The privileges that Govia gave were pretty good.

As for the monsters that came in with him, they were like walking corpses, only taking action when driven by other monsters. They were divided into groups and taken to different areas according to their factions.

Mo Yu looked at the sign in her hand.

Room 36 in the central area.

The prison map hangs on the wall; it's shaped like a flower and divided into six symmetrical areas. The prison guards live in the central area, known as the central zone. The six sections are designated A, B, C, D, E, and F, housing prisoners of different types and backgrounds.

This prison can no longer be called a prison; it's more like a small castle. Govia resides at the top of the central area, in the former warden's private bedroom. The internal order has been rebuilt, with guards and prisoners completely intertwined.

They now share a common leader.

Govia.

Upon entering the central area, one can see a nearly 8-meter-tall metal sculpture of Govia.

Various portraits of Govia are hung on the surrounding walls.

Throughout the entire prison, all the monsters worshipped Govia with mad fervor.

The true king.

Mo Yu found her room, located in a higher area of ​​the central district. It was a single room, and it was clear that it had originally been the dormitory for prison guards.

The benefits are pretty good.

Standing on high ground and looking down, you can see the open central activity area.

This area is teeming with monsters, which are arranged in neat square formations and are engaging in a mysterious behavior: in front of each monster is a door, and they repeatedly open the door, go inside, close the door, circle around and come back to open the door again.
