【Alias】: Black Tide
【Danger Level】: S-rank
【Origin】: During the Month of Divine Sight in 1990, the original Anomaly S-002 underwent a structural shattering, resulting in a large amount of [REDACTED] falling.
By deploying [REDACTED] and executing cross-suppression with top-tier Rule artifacts like S-003, it was finally contained after sacrificing [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and others.
After [REDACTED] was contained, it experienced rapid vitality exhaustion for unknown reasons, suspected of having suicidal tendencies.
To prevent it from randomly reincarnating elsewhere upon death—based on the law that "Anomaly energy cannot be completely destroyed"—the [REDACTED] Project was officially initiated.
Combining the "Silence" attribute of S-003 and utilizing the natural annihilation properties between the two, S-099 was eventually born through high-pressure laboratory cultivation.
The initial state of S-099 was extremely stable. Archive records indicate it appeared to possess a form of non-human intellect, even attempting to communicate with researchers (the following three lines of text are obscured).
In 2003, Sky Eye Headquarters was invaded by an unknown force, resulting in a containment breach.
A portion of S-099's matter escaped and was labeled S-099-A.
In 2008, Wilderness reports showed that nomadic tribes observed a phenomenon suspected to be S-099-A, calling it the "Stomach of Glat"; specific details are pending confirmation.
【Physical Description】:
S-099 is [REDACTED] (a large section here is blacked out) [REDACTED]. (Obsolete)
In its normal state, S-099 appears as an amorphous, black, viscous liquid. It possesses extremely high physical density and can absorb the vast majority of light waves and infrared radiation.
Current observation conclusions show:
Silent State: During its dormant period, S-099 regresses and dissolves into a black liquid, exhibiting no anomalous activity.
Active State: At the beginning of each month, its internal Rules undergo periodic abnormal proliferation.
At this time, S-099 rapidly transforms from a black liquid into a sea of organic tissue. Its volume can expand several times within seconds, and it exhibits extremely violent predatory behavior.
【Containment Behavior and Anomalous Properties】:
1. S-099 has an extraordinary "appetite" for the vast majority of Anomalies (especially those B-rank and above).
Experiments have found that aside from Anomalies, it has a lower predatory priority for ordinary humans, man-made metals, or conventional living creatures.
However, it shows extremely high interest in natural products such as soil, minerals, and especially "Red Tide sediments."
If left unchecked during its active phase, it will devour surface matter almost indefinitely.
2. Experiments have proven that if fed "Anomalies" possessing Rule energy during its active phase, it can enter a stable period lasting approximately one month.
【Special Association】: S-099 is suspected of having an extremely complex reaction to S-003.
When the two meet, a violent energy berserk occurs. The suppressive effect of S-003 on S-099 instantly transforms into physical "mutual annihilation."
【Containment Procedures】: During normal periods, it is contained within a specialized "gravity-sensing sealed chamber."
The feeding program must be initiated promptly on the 1st of every month.
Due to S-099's extremely high digestive capacity, Anomalies with a "low utility evaluation" are prioritized as sacrifices to maintain its stability.
【Utility Evaluation】: Low (extremely dangerous, not recommended for use as a tool)
Ren Yi was immersed deep within his sea of consciousness.
"What kind of garbage is this..." Ren Yi couldn't help but curse inwardly.
The screen full of black squares and deliberately smeared lines made the entire file look like a tattered net covered in patches.
The feeling was terrible, like a starving man opening a beautifully crafted tin only to find it stuffed with shredded waste paper and congealed ink.
As he delved deeper into the interpretation, Ren Yi's attention was first drawn to that special number.
S-099.
In general understanding, numbering often represented the order of discovery or the level of danger.
Ren Yi had originally wondered how it could be such a coincidence that he encountered such a specific number right at the start.
He had been somewhat puzzled—a single S-099 had made this Sky Eye Organization so paranoid that they dedicated an entire, massive land ship just for its containment.
Could it be that every one of the other 98 S-rank Anomalies had a "containment chamber" on the scale of a land ship?
That seemed like a bit too much of a grand gesture.
But he never expected that this "99" was actually a reverse-order marker.
Because it was man-made.
"Arranged in reverse order as 99 means that when the Sky Eye Organization established this system, they believed the limit of what they could control was this number. Or rather..."
Ren Yi pondered, "There might not be 99 S-rank Anomalies at all; there might not even be a double-digit number of them."
"This 99 is a position reserved for this 'man-made masterpiece'."
And what surprised Ren Yi even more were the raw materials used to create S-099.
The file explicitly stated: S-099 was cultivated using S-003—the God's Corpse—combined with something heavily redacted that, for now, he would just call "The Redacted."
Leaving S-003 aside, this "Redacted" stuff was no simple matter either.
It, or they, were produced from S-002.
Furthermore, a very interesting word was used here.
"Falling."
Ren Yi chewed on the word repeatedly.
This meant S-002 likely existed high in the sky. In this civilization devoid of aerospace capabilities, that was a dimension unreachable by humans.
Ren Yi could roughly imagine it, but he still needed to go outside and confirm it with his own "eyes."
In any case, first things first. By spying through Dr. Cyril's perspective these past few days, Ren Yi knew the current time was the end of the Pure White Month in the year 2009.
So all of this happened nearly twenty years ago.
That so-called "Shattering" in 1990 was more like a collapse from beyond the heavens.
Countless "Redacted" fell from the sky like the debris of falling gods, polluting the entire world with unspeakable calamity.
"So, S-099 is actually a hybrid of the God's Corpse and celestial fragments?" Ren Yi felt a sense of absurdity.
The Sky Eye Organization had poured everything into that major event and finally settled those "Redacted" things.
But it seemed that because their methods at the time were too brutal and they overdid it, the thing actually showed signs of "exhaustion."
It was about to die.
For ordinary people, this might have been a good thing.
But for the Sky Eye Organization, which understood the laws of Anomalies deeply, this was a nightmare.
"Anomaly energy cannot be completely destroyed."
This iron law was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over all civilizations.
If the "Redacted" thing completely expired, then according to the rules, its power would recongeal at a random coordinate decades or even days later.
When that happened, it would be another bloodbath.
Thus, the Sky Eye Organization initiated that mad project.
They weren't saving a life; they were more like "extending a lease."
Through various extreme experiments, they forcibly used the vitality of the God's Corpse to repair the fragments' exhaustion.
By some stroke of luck, this desperate, self-destructive measure actually birthed a monster—S-099.
In the early records of the file, one could faintly see how ecstatic the Sky Eye Organization had been.
At that time, S-099 was extremely stable and might have even possessed a form of docile intellect.
Its utility evaluation was likely marked as "High," and it nearly became a sharp weapon in the hands of the Sky Eye Organization.
Just when they thought they finally held the Creator's scepter and were prepared to use it to reshape the world order...
The good times didn't last.
Sky Eye Headquarters was raided.
