Soul of Negarychapter 185: the [origin] plague

Chen Di Xi was no stranger to Yang Yong Xing's eerie change, in fact, he had even spent time researching this phenomenon.

There was also a special mention of it within the Spiritual Inception cultivation method, calling it Origin Assimilation.

When human willpower could not catch up to the rate of release of the [Origin], they could easily be corrupted by the [Origin], thus undergoing Origin Assimilation, their rationality would collapse and be destroyed, turning them into indescribable monsters.

However, this phenomenon would only occur on those without a strong will, or those who were at the verge of releasing their [Origin], once the released [Origin] stabilized, its corruptive properties would gradually recede.

Even if a person became depressed or unstable afterwards, they would not undergo Origin Assimilation. Otherwise, with Chen Di Xi's ability to attack the gaps in his opponent's psyche and mentality, many would have been broken by him, so why was Yang Yong Xing the only enemy to mutate this way?

What Chen Di Xi didn't know was that this phenomenon was actually the prelude to the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon's invasion.

During the second cycle, the psychic civilization had reached the peak of prosperity, even when there were traitors, they were only the minority. The true calamity that caused the world's collapse was this Super Plague that they spread.

This Super Plague caused the majority of psychics to go insane and undergo Origin Assimilation, thus causing heavy casualties to the Disaster World.

In essence, this 'plague' was actually the power of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon that infiltrated this world. Their understanding of the [Origin] had far surpassed the people of this world, allowing them to manifest their power as a plague; when the plague spread, if they did not have the home field advantage, the people of Disaster World wouldn't have even noticed it.

At the same time, countless cases of Origin Assimilation began to occur.

"Lan Shan!" at the D.E.R division's board of directors headquarters, all of their crucial members had gathered, including Negary, for a total of 10 Disaster Kings.

Fang Ze had awoken from his rut, because that was the need of the 'people', he had no choice but to awaken. At a glance, he was still as enthusiastic as he ever was, completely ready to leap into action, as if he had managed to escape from his shadow of defeat under Negary.

Although his expression became extremely sour when he heard that he needed to cooperate with Negary, he didn't act up and try to fight Negary, because the 'people' needed Negary.

This was certainly an extremely uncomfortable position to be in; not only did Negary's men kill his closest brother that he had been with since birth, but he had also caused his woman to fall into a comatose state, and yet Fang Ze had no choice but to cooperate with him.

"Miss Lan Shan, please use your Authority to stop this plague" An Ping told Lan Shan who had followed Negary here.

But to An Ping's grief, Lan Shan simply sat on her chair, one hand holding onto Negary's shirt and blankly staring forward, completely ignoring An Ping's words.

"It was my mistake, your excellency Wang Yuan, please have Miss Lan Shan act" An Ping regained his composure and respectfully turned to Negary, his mind feeling nothing but sadness.

Lan Shan had been their ally for the past several cycles, but couldn't manage to perform the Reflection Cast technique during the third cycle in time, which ended up with her losing all of her memories and restarting from scratch in this cycle.

Without her displaying her unique qualities, they had no way of discovering Lan Shan, because the [Origin] would always return to an unreleased state after the timeline resets. They won't necessarily begin to grow immediately as the cycle began, so the birth of each person could be altered as well.

For example, during the previous cycle, Lan Shan would have already been over 20 years old at this point, but she was still only 12 right now. This was the uncertainty caused by the [Origin].

They had arranged people to come and pick up Lan Shan, but due to Negary's 'error' property, the Great Cataclysm was brought about early and Lan Shan's 'destiny' was broken, leading to them losing a crucial comrade.

〖 Lan Shan 〗Negary softly called her.

"Understood, my Lord!" Lan Shan cleverly answered, then started to use her [Super Plague] Authority, putting the plague derived from the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon's powers under control.

〖 This plague…〗borrowing Lan Shan's senses Negary managed to observe the source of this plague, discovering that it was not a germ, but rather a sort of power that contained a will.

They would abruptly manifest in this world, search for anyone with a released [Origin], violently invade it, and cause the [Origin] to go out of control.

Negary carefully observed the way this power plague operated. Any person stronger than yourself would always have one or two points that were worth learning from; and one shouldn't blame one's weakness on their lack of luck or the better backgrounds of others. And when it came to this, Negary was especially humble.

He meticulously studied the techniques and tricks that the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon utilized to produce this power plague, all of which were very useful skills that Negary might be able to utilize soon, saving a lot of his time and effort.

〖 Great! 〗Negary sat with his hands supporting his lower jaw. An invisible change had begun to occur all over the world, if not for Negary's [Otherworld Invasion] Authority, he might not have even noticed these changes.

The invisible willful power penetrated this world through angles that Negary simply could not comprehend, which swiftly emanated a fluctuation to force this world to undergo some sort of unclear change.

After that, the world itself seemed to have become extremely weak, as cracks appeared all over the world. Some of these cracks manifested in the sky like a bolt of black lightning that was stuck there, while others appeared on the ground and all over buildings as well.

A certain power surged from inside these cracks, some of the people who happened to be where the cracks manifested were either swallowed up and vanished without a trace, or struck by the sudden eruption of power and broke into grains of particles that faded into the air.

A pair of hands suddenly reached out from inside one of the cracks, then pulled it apart, the crack immediately opened up for a person with a naked torso to emerge.

「 This time, I, Samira, will thoroughly destroy you all 」as soon as this person with the naked torso appeared in this world, he spoke in a familiar, yet also foreign language to Negary; intense howling wind also started to manifest from where he stood.

〖 Samira, the Cauchy people's God of the Storm 〗

Noah used to invoke this God's name in order to summon the wind to attack, while the language he was speaking was an ancient language of the Flame World. For the sake of reading ancient records and books, Negary had studied this language.

〖 The flow of time between worlds was also different 〗

Negary had such a thought.

So many years had already gone by in the Flame World, but Negary still managed to catch up to the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon. This sensation of interweaving history and present was both strange and wondrous.

〖 I wonder, would I be able to meet the God of Disease and Omens, Negary? 〗

"Your excellency Wang Yuan" An Ping requested from him again: "Please activate the Path of Error, after it is successful, we will hand the Source Pool authority over to you"

Negary looked straight at An Ping, then smiled: 〖 Then it shall be done 〗

As the biological-mechanical hybrid machines all over the world were activated, the expression of Samira who had entered this world changed.
