〖 The first step of preparations has reached an ideal point 〗sensing the situation within the infected zone, Negary nodded in thought.
The ability obtained from the release of [Origin] was, to a great extent, dependent on the attribute of one's [Origin], but it was also dependent on the state of one's soul, personal willpower, as well as various circumstances related to one's physique at the point of release.
For example Negary, most likely, Wang Yuan's [Origin] contained the attribute of 'domination', combined with his cause of death being mutated germs, resulted in the pseudo-release ability that Negary obtained to be virus manipulation.
There were many other similar examples, that was also why the [Origin] ability of each individual seemed specifically suited for themselves.
Even though Negary had stockpiled quite a bit of Disasforce weapons, compared to the number of people who were forced to practice Spiritual Inception, it was nowhere near enough.
Germs that contained Disasforce could be considered a kind of pseudo Disasforce material; but due to them being living creatures rather than items, an individual would need to either undergo a deep level of symbiosis with these germs, or completely overwhelm the consciousness of the germ, thus taking them over with their own consciousness, in order to use them as a bridge the same way Disasforce weapons were used.
This was the real reason why Negary came up with Biomass Gear, from the beginning, Biomass Gear was supposed to be the secondary path to releasing one's [Origin].
However, even though Negary had already come up with the general idea and created the derivative breathing method necessary for Biomass Gear, there was a need to experiment with the exact method for undergoing symbiosis with the germs, as well as taking over the germs with the human consciousness.
One of the reasons why Negary regarded Chen Di Xi so highly was due to his [Origin] naturally having the 'soul' attribute, it was also because of this reason that he was so quick to adapt to Spiritual Inception, a cultivation method deeply associated with the soul.
Sure enough, Chen Di Xi successfully created his own Biomass Gear, then awoke a corresponding ability under Negary's silence guidance.
Because he used his Disasforce weapon as a conduit, Chen Di Xi's ability was named [Soul Blade].
He was able to change the form and nature of his Disasforce weapon so that it no longer affected the body but directly acted on the soul instead.
Through [Soul Blade], he could graft the soul of one creature to the body of another, allowing them to form a symbiotic relationship.
Using Chen Di Xi's [Origin] ability to experiment, Negary was able to obtain a large amount of data regarding symbiotic souls, slowly but surely formulating the Biomass Gear cultivation method, which in turn gave more chances for Spiritual Inception practitioners to advance.
〖 Perhaps later on, two factions will form, one being 'Weapon released' and the other being 'Gear released'〗Negary briefly envisioned what could happen later on, then no longer paid any attention to it.
Lan Shan was still walking behind Negary, slightly tilting her head to look up at Negary's relatively towering figure. Through the [Super Plague] Authority, her understanding of Negary could be said to even surpass her understanding of herself.
She was able to read and understand Negary's every single thought, even the information hidden inside his germs, their mutations, their usages, she knew all of it.
Furthermore, she could follow the track of the so-called Soul's Blood in order to draw out some of Negary's memories, his past, his goal, the information he recorded within, she was able to find out everything.
For that reason, she was fully aware of his initial confusion and anxiety, she knew of his fear and dread of vanishing, and she knew his determination to slowly change himself, as well as his personality of trusting no one but himself.
She even knew about more than ten of Negary's countermeasures that he prepared against her at this moment, and as she understood it, there were even more that she wasn't aware of.
Step by step, she followed behind Negary, despite how well she understood Negary, she couldn't clearly understand herself.
Should she hate Chen Di Xi? Indeed she should. Because his action of stealing the Disasforce weapon caused her to lose her father.
Should she hate Negary? Perhaps she should. Because Negary was the one who spread the [Spiritual Inception] germs for the sake of his ambition, and he was the root cause of her current situation.
Should she hate the destiny of this world? Perhaps she should as well. Because it was this world's destiny that caused her father to accidentally discover the Disasforce weapon that Negary prepared for Chen Di Xi, and it was also destiny that made that supermarket collapse.
However, when Negary reached his hand out to her, telling her that she was needed, she still reached her hand out in response.
Her mother turned into a zombie and wanted to kill her, and her father killed her mother in order to save her. This trauma completely destroyed her incomplete perception of the world.
She understood that her father only made the right decision, but she couldn't accept that truth, so she shut herself away within her own mind. When her father died as well, she finally felt that her existence no longer had any meaning, and since she didn't know what to do about herself, she chose to sit there and waited for her death.
Negary needed her, thus giving her a new meaning. After seeing Negary's memories, she agreed with Negary's philosophy, Negary didn't need a meaning to exist, because he was the meaning for others' existence.
You could say that she was contaminated by Negary when she came into contact with him, perhaps even brainwashed by him; or that she had only seen the greatness of Negary, thus deciding that he was her meaning of existence and followed him.
I.
I am too weak.
I'm only a human.
Since I don't know what to do with myself, all I need to do is simply follow Lord Negary.
〖 Let's go, my base is up ahead 〗Negary softly told her. Lan Shan had already told him her abilities, so Negary understood that she knew and understood all of his thoughts. In a way, Lan Shan was the one who could counter Negary the best, but also the one who would empathize with Negary the easiest.
〖 It can be said that Lan Shan is now another Righteous of mine 〗
"My Lord" Noah emerged from the base, greeting them. For the past few days, after Negary put the Cataclysm plan into motion, he had been stationed in this base.
Rather than calling it a base, it would be better said that this would be Negary's main battlefield. There were numerous of Negary's arrangements and experiments inside this building, and he would need to face Fang Ze in this place, or rather, face 'destiny' in this place.
〖 Lan Shan, follow my lead, use your ability 〗Negary smiled as he walked into the base.
With Lan Shan's help, the possibility of Negary winning against 'destiny' would increase by quite a bit.
At least, with Lan Shan's control over germs, he might be able to simulate his Dragon of Eternal Sin form to a higher level.
His base started to shift, the outside material changed and manifested a forcefield that enveloped the entire structure, the two waves of originally immense Disasforce fluctuations were completely suppressed.
…
Fang Ze who was still on the move abruptly scowled, just now, the Disasforce fluctuations of both Wang Yuan and Disaster King Black Death vanished at the same time, coupled with what he learnt from the monster hotel they ran into before, he understood right away that they had gone into the same environment.
"The last place that their fluctuation showed up was here"
Fang Ze took out a map and pinpointed the location, then felt his heart becoming heavy. That place was his previous home and where He Qiao was currently staying.
He volunteered to go on this trip into the infected zone in search of Disaster King Black Death, one reason for which was because he truly wished for the world to return to normal, but the other reason was that he wanted to ensure that He Qiao was safe.
However, it seems like He Qiao has fallen into his hands huh?
"Regardless, Wang Yuan must be defeated" Fang Ze clenched his fists tightly and renewed his determination.
