Virus King - Chapter 217

Chapter 217: The Seven Deadly Sins! Blueprint for the Wings of Netherflame!

TL: YYang

A terrifying power continuously surged into Chen Bai from the Darklight Virus.

This power fascinated Chen Bai deeply.

However, despite being the devilish body of Zepar, its power had been entirely suppressed by the Cosmic Will. Though its status was incredibly high, it was clearly not at its peak potential.

Still, one should not be too greedy.

After the profession transfer, Chen Bai could further awaken his Darklight Virus abilities, achieving a true and ultimate enhancement of his strength!

The 200 exclusive Darklight Virus evolution points were already a massive boon, but Chen Bai’s main focus was on the skill transformation that came with it!

[Hellfire—Lust (S-Rank): A hellfire infused with the power of Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. When it envelops the user, all attributes temporarily increase by 50% for three minutes.

Additionally, when actively attacking an enemy, it can burn their soul. The stronger the opponent’s desires, the greater the power of Hellfire! Also includes a hidden effect. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

Amazing!

Chen Bai’s thoughts stirred, and a dark red flame flickered to life on his palm. The flame swayed, as though grinning like a devil of desire.

Satan gazed at Chen Bai in disbelief:

“This is the power of Lust from the Seven Deadly Sins? Honored Chen, the abilities you possess are like the Life Stone under the Fountain of Life—no one knows just how many mysteries they contain!”

Indeed, the devouring ability of the Darklight Virus was astonishingly incomprehensible.

Moreover, ever since Chen Bai had transferred professions to become the Abyssal Overlord and undergone further transformation from the Power of the Abyss, the devouring speed of the Darklight Virus seemed to have significantly increased.

This was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

However, Chen Bai didn’t dwell on it too much. He merely pondered inwardly: “Seven Deadly Sins?”

Satan seemed to sense his thoughts and continued with a faint smile:

“The Seven Deadly Sins were the source of my power in life—Pride, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, and Wrath! Truth be told, Lust was the weakest among them under my command.

Because, in the Abyss, the most ancient Succubus Queen, Mekanshut, had already claimed dominion over this sin at her birth. After my death, I suspect fragments of the Seven Deadly Sins’ power scattered, and many in Hell have likely acquired portions of these powers!”

Chen Bai nodded slightly, entirely uninterested in Satan’s past deeds.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the flaming energy from his palm. After glancing at the S-Rank Devil Bloodline that had also been devoured by the Darklight Virus and tossing it into his backpack, he finally picked up Zepar’s severed head from the ground.

But just as he lowered his gaze, another peculiar object caught his attention.

Perhaps because Zepar’s soul had escaped, preventing an official kill confirmation under the Cosmic Will, none of the usual loot appeared—no skill books, profession transfer scrolls, or equipment.

However, what lay before him was an exceptionally unique drop!

A blueprint scroll!

Another blueprint?!

Chen Bai was momentarily stunned when he saw it.

In his previous life, some knowledge of the apocalypse remained vividly fresh in his mind.

Blueprints could produce equipment that was immensely powerful, even beyond S-Rank.

At the same time, the drop rate for blueprints was notoriously abysmal—ridiculously low.

Whenever a blueprint surfaced on the market, it would invariably be so rare that it became priceless.

Yet, from the onset of the apocalypse until now, this was already his fourth blueprint!

The first was for Zombie Claws,

The second, an evolved version of the first, Biochemical Disaster.

The third, also from the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital, was the Hell’s Call · Shepherd’s Horn.

And now, what appeared before him was another equipment blueprint.

Moreover, this one left Chen Bai momentarily speechless:

[Wings of Netherflame (S-Rank)]

[Type: Special Armor—Wing Category]

[Description: Wings forged from Hellfire, imbued with extraordinary power!]

[Crafting Requirements: Abyssal Flame (Hellfire), 100 Phoenix Feathers, 1 Flame Core.]

[Remark: With these wings, you will not only conquer the skies but also tame the flames!]

Chen Bai’s pupils shrank sharply. Wings?!

Wing-type equipment was among the rarest and most sought-after, rivaling even the value of unique Soul Weapons.

This Sixteenth Demon God of the Abyss truly was a reliable comrade!

Stowing the blueprint securely into his backpack, Chen Bai exhaled deeply. He glanced at everyone still in a dazed state and spoke calmly:

“Alright, dungeon cleared. Let’s go!”

Han Xiao pursed his lips. The events that had just unfolded completely shattered his worldview—so much so that he struggled to process them.

It wasn’t until Chen Bai’s words pulled him back to reality that Han Xiao finally nodded hastily, still a little stunned.

Ding Ding and Yan Qi, however, didn’t seem as affected.

For them, while the BOSS’s appearance had indeed been spectacular, the overwhelming strength of the man before them was an established fact—something engraved in their minds through countless experiences.

But Han Xiao…

In his delayed realization, he looked incredulously at his mission panel, which had undergone a noticeable change:

[Devil Ancestor (S)]—Task Completed!

[You’ve finally uncovered the truth behind your family’s mysterious bloodline, as well as the origins of this power, which feels more like a curse than a gift. You chose to summon Zepar, the Sixteenth Demon God of Hell, intending to defeat him—a choice that, without question, was utterly foolish.

However, among your companions is a being of unimaginable greatness. Even a Devil Duke of Hell pales in comparison to a fraction of his power!

The secrets of your family, insignificant as they may seem to you, hold no interest to him.

Yet, as his companion, Zepar became his target as well. Thus, you’ve learned everything—including the whereabouts of your sister. Known now as ‘Lika,’ she was originally named ‘Han Li’ by your father.

Now, what will you choose? Will you venture into Hell to seek your sister, embarking on a brooding, melodramatic quest as a doting brother? Or will you entrust this trivial matter to the benevolent assistance of the great being at your side?

Of course, before making that decision, feel free to claim your task reward!]

[Task ‘Devil Ancestor’ completed. You have received the following reward: High-Rank Devil Earl Bloodline (S) × 1.]

Han Xiao stared blankly at the task prompt, utterly bewildered.

He turned his gaze to the figure before him, unable to comprehend why even the Cosmic Will had described Lord Bai in such terms within the mission hint.

Why? What kind of existence was this man that even the Cosmic Will referred to him with such reverence?
