Virus King - Chapter 202

Chapter 202: The Scourge of the Living! The Plague Sun! The Virus Spread by Light!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai experienced an incredibly unique sensation—one so real, so powerful, that it felt as if his very being was reshaped by it.

And this overwhelming strength, without a doubt, came from the two professions he now bore, the power bestowed by them surging through him at this very moment.

Suppressing the turbulent waves of emotion within, Chen Bai finally turned his gaze toward the first of his professions.

[Scourge of the Living (SSS) (First-Transfer Profession): Upon each level-up, gain +10 Strength and +10 Agility, and +15 Constitution and +15 Spirit! Additionally, receive 20 free attribute points with every level gained!]

Chen Bai’s eyelids twitched slightly as he stared at this information.

The initial abilities of Scourge of the Living alone were enough to make him exhale in astonishment.

With each level-up, a total of 50 attribute points would be gained! Compared to the 15 attribute points of his former S-Rank profession, Demon Hunter, this was a full threefold increase. And that wasn’t even counting the bonus of 20 free attribute points.

Of course, while these stats were indeed extraordinary, they weren’t enough to defy all logic. Chen Bai understood well that the true value of an SSS-Rank profession lay not merely in its stat growth, but in its skills.

He quickly swept his gaze downward, and sure enough, beneath Scourge of the Living, several skills had already appeared, skills he now possessed:

[Plague (Profession Authority): All plague-type creatures, plague-possessed beings, and all entities with total attributes inferior to your own can be controlled and manipulated at will.

Additionally, all plagues, poisons, and similar special effects cannot harm you. For every plague creature under your control, the effects of Scourge of the Living’s profession skills are enhanced. Your mastery over virus and fungal effects is significantly improved.]

[Plague Sun (Profession Skill): All plagues are the product of the sun’s negligence! However, the Plague Sovereign’s plagues can harness this very sunlight for transmission!

Through your abilities, you can condense a Plague Sun, allowing sunlight to carry your viruses to any place it touches. Cooldown: None. The Plague Sun’s size and duration depend on the amount of Spirit Energy you supply.]

[Black Death (Profession Skill): A transcendent-level virus. Anyone infected with any virus will simultaneously contract the Black Death, marked by the appearance of black lesions on their body.

Each lesion inflicts viral damage upon formation, and triggers an instant death check. Cooldown: None. Every instance of viral infection will add an additional check for infection.]

That was all.

Chen Bai blinked. Despite this being a first-transfer profession, apart from the core Profession Authority, there were only two skills available?

Just these two skills were supposed to represent the power of an SSS-Rank profession?

Certainly, he assumed that new abilities would likely unlock as his level and strength increased in the future. But for an SSS-Rank profession, weren’t these starting skills just a little too… meager?

Chen Bai found himself somewhat perplexed. Compared to other profession skills, these two abilities didn’t seem to demonstrate their full potential on the Cosmic Will Evolver’s Panel.

After mulling it over, Chen Bai decided not to immediately check the abilities of Abyssal Overlord. Instead, he slowly extended his hand.

Beside him, Redo looked confused, unsure of what Chen Bai was doing, but still stared at him in astonishment.

The next moment, a ray of light suddenly burst forth from Chen Bai’s palm.

A dark green glow, mixed with black shadows, instantly enveloped the entire mountain peak!

It was a massive sun—composed entirely of black and dark green hues.

The surrounding landscape of the 1st Layer of the Abyss was shrouded in this dark green light. With a single thought, Chen Bai channeled the Influenza Virus, the only virus under his control thanks to his Virus Sovereign talent, into the Plague Sun.

Then, the dark green glow radiated indiscriminately across the area!

The 1st Layer of the Abyss didn’t house overly powerful demons, but its ranks did include lower-tier demons, most of whom were around level ten. These made up the majority of the 1st Layer’s strength.

Though Chen Bai’s current location wasn’t densely populated with demons, the range of the Plague Sun’s glow was simply enormous—stretching across several thousand meters in diameter.

What’s more, Chen Bai’s Spirit Energy was sufficient to sustain the massive Plague Sun for an extended period of time. After all, he hadn’t even exerted himself fully!

It was easy to imagine just how vast an area this Plague Sun could cover.

However, if the skill only excelled in sheer range, it wouldn’t be particularly remarkable.

What made it terrifying was what happened as the dark green sun rose. One by one, demonic figures turned their heads, drawn irresistibly toward the direction of the light.

The dark green glow reflected off their faces, and then, something horrifying occurred.

Almost instantly upon gazing at the Plague Sun, a series of violent coughs erupted from their throats. Blood spewed forth as they hacked uncontrollably.

In less than 0.1 seconds, black spots began appearing on their bodies.

Under the irradiation of the dark green sun, the spots rapidly spread across their flesh.

From the moment these demons entered the glow of the Plague Sun to their final breaths, no more than three seconds had passed.

The black spots spread over their entire bodies, and these once-powerful, bloodthirsty, and frenzied demons stared in disbelief, gasping desperately for air before succumbing to their deaths.

Not only did the rapid onset of Influenza cause inflammation and organ failure, but the Black Death Spots—manifestations of the transcendent viral ability—also proliferated. The Black Death inflicted devastating viral damage and triggered lethal infection checks, sealing their fates.

In mere seconds, after the Plague Sun ascended, the surrounding area became a land of deathly silence.

All demonic creatures within the Plague Sun’s range perished under its horrifying viral onslaught, reduced to corpses beyond saving.

Chen Bai stared at the massive Plague Sun he had conjured, suspended high above his head.

This dark green sun offered no warmth—only the terror of unstoppable pathogens and the Black Death Spots that ravaged all infected.

Even Redo’s Projection, clad in a full set of protective gear—including an anti-virus mask—fell silent. Despite his measures to isolate himself completely, the dark green light had still penetrated his transparent visor, reaching his exposed skin.

Redo stared at his palm, where a faint black spot had appeared. His silence spoke volumes.

What forbidden spell, what divine miracle, could rival the power of this Plague Sun at this level of strength?

At this moment, Chen Bai truly understood the meaning of ‘Scourge of the Living’!

The Scourge of the Living profession, with just this single skill—Plague Sun—was already on par with any other profession of its rank!

As Chen Bai gained control over more viruses and fungi in the future through his Virus Sovereign talent, the synergy with this profession would transform him into a true walking disaster.

The combination of Virus Sovereign’s innate talent and the Scourge of the Living profession was far more than a mere 1+1=2.

After all, if a virus could be spread through light itself, then no one would be spared.

…

Chen Bai really said, “Let there be light!” 😂😂
