——Two minutes earlier——
When the icy seawater completely infiltrated the "Box" through the two openings.
He Ao finally shivered and opened his eyes.
He was met with pitch-black seawater.
Endless pain emanated from every inch of flesh and skin on his body, as a twisted and bizarre force was forcibly remodeling his atrophied physique.
He could feel himself lying in this "Nutrient Pod Coffin," slowly sinking, like a feather slipping through the air.
His other kind of "vision" was still functioning.
Below the undulating sea surface, the twisted patterns were denser.
Some kind of invisible call was also entering He Ao's ears with the seawater, permeating his soul.
This call, stacking up with noise-like whispering, was tearing apart his mind.
A strong sensation of suffocation and the pressure of water pressed against his breathing.
In the midst of this severe pain, he held his breath and began to try to control his "body."
First his hands, then his torso.
