Soul of Negary

TN: Yes, that is the title that the author gave to this chapter.

〖 This means that if the Authority [Super Plague] really does exist, the Holder would not be me 〗

Negary calmly assessed the situation without any worry:

〖 After all, I’ve already caused the greatest possible plague in history 〗

〖 If my actions are still unable to promote my Authority into [Super Plague], then it could only mean that Authority belongs to somebody else 〗

Negary was constantly monitoring the proliferation of his germs:

〖 Or perhaps, the new Disaster King might actually be born during this plague I cause 〗

〖 Despite how random the distribution of Authorities is, within a world where the concept of ‘destiny’ exists, all randomness will happen with certainty, and occurrences with the tiniest chance of occurring will surely occur as long as they are necessary 〗

〖 From the looks of it, the Authority of [Super Plague] has already been determined by ‘destiny’, which should be this world’s countermeasure against me 〗

As Negary walked through the chaotic, messed up streets, desperate cries and screams could occasionally be heard.

…

“Die, monster!” this shout sounded from afar as a man swung his baseball bat to strike the zombie whose body was covered in black blood vessels.

These zombies were the victims of the virus that mutated from his [Spiritual Inception] germs. Negary didn’t specifically name them this way. It was due to the symptoms displayed during the initial stage of infection that made the infected appear like zombies that they were called zombies.

These zombies had wax-like skin that dripped as thick liquid to the ground, revealing the black blood vessels all over their bodies while the skin that wasn’t dripping appeared completely bruised and black due to asphyxiation. Their teeth and mouths were clapping nonstop like fishes that couldn’t wait for flesh to fall into them.

They were waving both arms forward aimlessly, trying to grab whatever they could. Despite how silly they appeared, thanks to their bodies being entirely out of germs, the power they could exert was overwhelming. If someone was caught by one of these zombies, it would be impossible for them to escape with their own strength, even a healthy young man at his prime wouldn’t be able to achieve such a feat.

The man with the baseball bat didn’t seem very afraid, as he continued to breathe following the Spiritual Inception method, his senses were being heightened. His mental fortitude was also quite considerable, otherwise he couldn’t have found and adapted to the correct breathing method so quickly after being infected.

His shout from before was mostly to vent his emotions, after a while of observation, he noticed that these zombies had already lost their sense of hearing and were actually using some sort of other sense in order to recognize the lucky survivors.

Being thrusted into a dangerous situation so quickly, if he didn’t vent it appropriately, Chen Di Xi felt like he might develop some sort of mental issue very quickly, which was detrimental to his own survival within this hellish doomsday.

The baseball bat in Chen Di Xi’s hand continued to swing at the zombies. He found that although these creatures were strong, their bodies weren’t very solid, in fact, they could be considered fragile instead.

With every hit of the baseball bat, the sound of fractures could be heard all over their bodies, sometimes if the zombie exerted too much force, they would even break their own bones. Because of this, after a short while of rampaging, some zombies would become helpless to do anything but slowly creep along the ground.

Most survivors didn’t want to waste their strength and clean up these creepy crawling things, and thus created the opportunity for the massive number of crawling zombies to transform into what later came to be known as the ‘Ground Huggers’. After they finished assimilating these bodies, the germs manifested a layer of slimy liquid that could undergo basic color changing to camouflage themselves.

While avoiding the zombie’s attacks, Chen Di Xi swung his baseball bat onto the zombie’s head, causing it to crack and splatter, defeating it.

Cautiously watching the fallen zombie, Chen Di Xi exhaled in relief. While the zombie was ragged and dirty, the brand name on his clothing could still be recognized, not to mention the fancy watch on his wrist that signified his status as a successful person while he was still alive.

However, this once-successful person had now fallen at his feet, while Chen Di Xi enjoyed his qualifications to survive.

After just a short period of time, Chen Di Xi felt like he might enjoy this world.

He was just a nameless nobody in society, but as disaster struck, thanks to his adaptability, he was the one who managed to survive.

The information regarding the Spiritual Inception method in his mind informed him that as long as he could find a Disasforce material weapon, he would be able to push forward to the next stage of Spiritual Inception and awaken his own superpowers.

Thanks to this disaster completely messing up societal order, an insignificant nobody like himself might be able to become a VIP in the future.

〖 You truly have a lot of potential 〗

This sudden voice startled Chen Di Xi and caused him to almost swing his baseball bat behind his back out of reflex.

〖 Within my senses, your progress of cultivating Spiritual Inception is the fastest 〗Negary slowly stated as his terrifying aura crept up and surrounded Chen Di Xi.

Suppressed by this aura, Chen Di Xi couldn’t turn around, he didn’t even have the courage to say a single word, only stand there and shiver while frozen by the fear. From the other party’s words, they were extremely familiar with the Spiritual Inception method, in fact, quite possibly, this abrupt incident might have had something to do with him.

〖 As the one with the fastest progress, let me grant you a small reward. Unleash your ambition, I’m very much looking forward to seeing how much you would be able to achieve 〗

Negary pierced his index finger directly into the man’s heart from his back.

His finger then broke off, morphed into a tentacle and fused with the man’s body. At the same time, it also transferred a certain piece of information into his mind.

As Negary pulled his hand back, his index finger had already regrown. He continued heading towards the next area to confirm the situation of the other specimens.

Chen Di Xi stood exactly where he was without moving a single bit, only after Negary had gone completely out of sight did he collapse to the ground, his entire body soaked in cold sweat. For the rest of his life, he would never forget that stifling sense of dread and terror.

Chen Di Xi was clutching his head, during that incident just now, a piece of information appeared in his head almost the same way that the Spiritual Inception method did, which convinced him even further that the man behind him earlier was the one who created Spiritual Inception.

The information he received not only told him of where to find one Disasforce material weapon, but it also recorded the forging method of another type of weapon.

“Biomass Gear…” Chen Di Xi turned his gaze towards the constantly writhing zombies on the ground, thinking of the information regarding the virus within these zombies that he just obtained.

The parasitic [Spiritual Inception] germs inside everyone’s respiratory tracts and the virus that turned these dead people into zombies were two sides of the same coin. Since the zombies were able to consume [Spiritual Inception] germs in order to strengthen themselves, as long as one knew the appropriate technique, they would naturally also be able to take control of the zombie virus using their [Spiritual Inception] germs.

And the information that appeared in Chen Di Xi’s head was exactly that. By taking portions of a zombie’s body that had been completely consumed by the virus, through a branch breathing technique of Spiritual Inception, he would be able to refine and mold this virus into various shapes and attach them to his body as Biomass Gear.

This way, not only would he obtain the great strength of the germs, but he would also obtain a certain level of protection for his body. The zombie bodies were fragile because most of it had already been consumed by the virus, but by turning the virus themselves into Biomass Gear, its defenses would be enough to block handgun bullets without any issues.

“Unleash my ambition and look forward to how far I can go?” Chen Di Xi’s gaze gradually became firm as he looked at the zombie at his feet: “Then let me show you!”
