"How do you grow more powerful?" Nick asked.
The Specter explained what it did, and Nick didn't like the answer.
It grew more powerful by suppressing humans, binding them with tentacles, and torturing them.
As long as they suffered physically, it would grow more powerful.
"How many humans are suppressed right now?" he asked.
"Four."
At this moment, four Late and Peak Heroes were currently undergoing tremendous torture inside the Specter.
They couldn't say the Sentence since it kept their necks and mouths destroyed while isolating their senses.
It also stopped them from killing themselves in any other way.
It was literally a life worse than death.
This was a problem for Nick.
'If the captured Agents get out, they will return to Aegis. That will put eyes on me. Even if they don't see me, they know that it must have been a human who saved them. Another Specter would just use them as its own food supply.'
