Inside the dimly lit room, the embryo sat in a grotesque, broken state. A large hole had been torn at its front, likely by the creature it once housed.

The embryo itself was massive, nearly the size of a full-grown elephant. It wasn’t hard to imagine the terrifying scale of the creature that had emerged from it.

The tubes connected to the back of the embryo hinted at an artificial method of providing nutrients. At some point in the distant past, the embryo had absorbed enough nourishment to successfully give birth to whatever was inside.

"Is that... an embryo from a dangerous species?"

Leon frowned, staring at the disturbing sight. Even with his experience, he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of disgust.

"What kind of dangerous species would require such an elaborate setup to cultivate?"

Maite adjusted his glasses. "Typically, a dangerous species’ offspring can be nurtured naturally by its mother. There’s no need for this kind of artificial embryo."
