Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Following the arrows, everyone had a very smooth journey. Truman was indeed a man of integrity, and Yiyin had to admire him for this.

Heading straight to Truman's lair, everyone seemed a little nervous. Especially Lion Hall, his heartbeat was racing with anxiety. Whether he could save his Great Saint King depended on this moment.

"Oh my god, what is this place?"

Thirteenth Princess covered her mouth in surprise.

They had arrived at a very messy room. There were numerous transparent containers with countless tubes inserted into them, but there were neither people nor monsters inside the transparent containers.

Despite this, everyone still felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that Truman lured them here just to strangle them here?

"Welcome everyone, hehe..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a half-human, half-mechanical head placed in the center of the room.

The skull was covered in countless tubes, especially around the neck. Even black mucus could be seen inside them...

"What kind of monster is this?" Shisanji fearfully grabbed Bubulu, who had just gotten off Shizitang, her voice full of fear.

"Monster? Unfortunately, I'm not a monster."

"I am Mr. D, or rather... Truman."

"fraud!"

Shuoyue was furious. "How dare you fool the 'son of the greatest diplomat in history of the Obili Empire'! You must be tired of living!"

"What a mess, I've never heard of it."

Truman ignored Shuoyue's anger and said to himself, "Since you have the courage to come to me, I will tell you the truth about Misty Island as promised."

Then, Truman began to narrate his tragic past:

As we all know, people who have unhappy childhoods spend their entire lives trying to heal them. Truman's childhood was certainly unfortunate, as he had an equally unfortunate father, Hinchard.

Sinchard is a very ambitious man. He has always wanted to develop mechanical weapons that are more powerful than monsters in order to gain supreme glory.

However, as fate would have it, the mechanical weapon that Sinchard had painstakingly developed ultimately failed to gain recognition from the Monster Master Management Association headquarters, and instead received a lot of ridicule.

Gradually, Hinchard's determination grew stronger.

As the only son of Sinchard, Truman can be said to have inherited this characteristic of his father very well.

As far as Truman could remember, the only things that kept him company were the dry scientific research books and the mechanical props that Hinchard had discarded.

Truman read tirelessly and gradually developed a sense of justice - he wanted to become the greatest monster master and fight to protect peace.

Sinchard also supported Truman and sent him to the Cross Base to study. Truman lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully became an excellent preparatory student.

However, his excellence was only reflected in his creativity. Due to his lack of communication with others, Truman was very unsociable. He was often excluded and even bullied.

Truman was very patient. He was friendly during the day, but at night he would secretly use his knowledge to transform his monster, Deus.

After a year of hard work, the D-rank earth elemental monster, the Desmos, was transformed into a cyborg. Its ability was upgraded from replicating its appearance with clay to creating a replica simply by scanning with a mechanical eye.

Relying on this incredible cheat, Truman successfully obtained a lot of credits until he was bitten back.

Misty Island is a hidden level designed by Sinchard himself. He never thought his son would die here.

During a test, Truman successfully broke into the interior of the Misty Island alone. At this time, the mechanical device of the Disu monster malfunctioned and began to devour its master!

Truman, isolated and helpless, could only watch himself being beaten to death by the monster...

Half of the monster's body was burned and it fell to the side and died.

Truman also died with strong regret and unwillingness.

"So that's how it is. You're so pitiful." Bubulu wiped away his tears emotionally.

"Hmph, a monster master who doesn't know how to cherish his monsters doesn't deserve any sympathy at all." Di Qi said disdainfully.

"Hey! I'm not finished yet! Didn't your mentor teach you not to interrupt others?!"

Hearing Truman say this, everyone shut up and continued to listen to Truman reciting his story of deep hatred and bitterness.

After Truman died on Misty Island, Hinchard and Dean Nicol personally went to the scene and brought back Truman's body.

To protect the reputation of Cross Base, the top brass decided to conceal the truth and permanently blockade Misty Island. As Truman's story spread, it became a strange rumor among the interns.

Hinchard suddenly realized that his research was worthless in the face of family affection. So, he spent the rest of his life living for only one purpose: to resurrect Truman.

After more than ten years of hard work, Sinchard finally transformed Truman into an ultimate mechanical weapon!

Yes, Hinchard still couldn't forget his mechanical weapon. Only in this way could Truman survive.

After completing all this, Hinchard passed away before he had time to say a word to Truman.

However, as smart as Truman was, he quickly understood Hinchard's intention.

Truman's head is now placed in the center of Misty Island, acting as an information terminal. The entire island replaces his body. When he's in a good mood, spring arrives. When he's in a bad mood, everything becomes dark and gloomy. His brainwaves can even float in the form of a white ghost...

"We have been in your body all this time? Oh my God." Jiaozi almost fainted.

"But you haven't told me your purpose yet," Selina said. "You disrupted our test and kidnapped the Great Saint King of the Lion Hall. What was your purpose?"

"I've said before, my goal hasn't changed since the beginning: to protect human peace. For the justice in my heart, I must annihilate all monsters. And the only thing that can punish powerful monsters is an even more powerful mechanical monster! So, I used my father's inheritance and used every possible means to replicate the monsters... Now, my most proud work has finally been born!"

boom--

As Truman finished speaking, the transparent container at the deepest part suddenly exploded.

A mechanical fusion monster that looked very hybrid crawled out step by step.

This giant mechanical monster had wings from the Thousand-Faced Demon Moth, a body from the Cylon Rat, four legs from the Barbary Golden Lion, and two hands from the Prajna Ghost King, holding the Great Sage King's Vajra Staff. As for its head...

"It's the monster Desmos that Truman died from!"

Selina introduced, "Instructor Konaro has told us more than once that transforming your own monster is illegal! Now I finally know why!"

"Alas! Without compassion, one will only continue to fall into the quagmire of revenge." Albus concluded.

"Hehehe..."

Truman seemed in good spirits. "Let me introduce you to my latest mechanical creation—the Kimeradren! It will fulfill my ideal of justice and eradicate all evil!"

Truman stared at everyone present and said in a creepy voice, "No one of you... will get away with it!"

At this moment, Yiyin received a system prompt.

"[Ding! Mission triggered—Defeat or assist in defeating Kimeradren. Success reward: Attribute boost; failure penalty: Obliteration]"
