Virus King - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Return to the 10th layer! Submit or Die!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai wasn’t particularly concerned about the Fang siblings, but he did start recalling the situation in Dragon City from his previous life. Power was a complex thing.

Before the apocalypse, society had order. But after the apocalypse began, power became an accessory to strength. After all, when individual strength could destroy everything, talking about power seemed quite laughable.

In the previous life, Dragon City had many powerful beings, even those at the Emperor level. However, Chen Bai didn’t have much contact with them, and as the apocalypse progressed, the area of Blue Star expanded significantly, becoming many times larger than before.

Each region was unimaginably far apart. For Saints and Emperor-level evolvers, it was manageable with various abilities to speed up travel, but for ordinary evolvers, crossing from one major city to another was extremely difficult.

Therefore, Chen Bai’s understanding wasn’t extensive. After pondering for a while and finding nothing of significant value in his memories, he decided to let it go. Compared to meddling in others’ affairs, Chen Bai needed to focus on his own matters!

Currently, he had reached level 18, standing above all evolvers on Blue Star! Meanwhile, after consuming the demonic beast cores from the Demon-Sealing Pagoda in Mount Shu, his attributes increased by another hundred points! Additionally, the Darklight Virus had finally reached 20%, further boosting his attributes by dozens of points, along with the level-up bonuses.

Now, even his lowest strength and constitution were nearing seven hundred points! In the previous life, even level 30 evolvers rarely reached such attributes. No, none could reach it!

Even with an SSS-Rank talent and an S-Rank profession, achieving the highest attribute growth post-transfer, one would gain just over a hundred attributes every ten levels. Generally, reaching 400-500 in all attributes was already considered an absolute powerhouse!

However, at level 18, Chen Bai’s other three-dimensional attributes were close to 900 in spirit strength. Such attributes had already allowed Chen Bai’s strength to skyrocket unimaginably in a short time post-transfer!

With this strength, Chen Bai was confident in conquering the 10th Layer of the Abyss! This Abyss had a master, a demon warlord named Aodu, who was a second-transfer profession. However, the demon warrior profession itself wasn’t particularly remarkable. Almost any demon could transfer to this basic low-level profession upon reaching adulthood.

Moreover, through the Abyssal Trial, Chen Bai had gained a clear understanding of Aodu. He was confident he could defeat him and bring the 10th Layer of the Abyss under the dominion of the Overlord! Most importantly, conquering the Abyss didn’t require killing the demon lord like in the Abyssal Trial. If possible, he could subdue him and make him a subordinate.

Of course, Chen Bai also knew that conquering the Abyss wouldn’t be as easy as the Abyssal Trial. The demons led by the demon lord would naturally join the battle if possible, increasing the difficulty accordingly. But it was worth a try!

Fortunately, the authority of the Abyss granted Chen Bai unlimited trial and error, allowing him to challenge at any time. It was no wonder that the Abyssal Overlord was considered the most profound and powerful profession across all realms. Its strength was destined.

After informing Song Ziqiong, Chen Bai’s figure vanished from White Emperor City. He was doing well as a hands-off manager, and Song Ziqiong wasn’t overshadowed by him. Of course, sometimes she was, but there were no constraints on managing White Emperor City!

The 10th Layer of the Abyss was still the same sphere-like structure. It seemed no different from the previous nine layers. Chen Bai appeared near the location of the Abyssal Well, observing and nodding. Redo hadn’t acted yet, but he had already chosen this spot to establish the first safe zone in the Abyss. All central points of the first ten layers of the Abyss would be concentrated on this 10th layer. Here, Chen Bai planned to build the first Abyssal City!

This marked the end of the chaotic and disorderly era of the Abyss. The era dominated by the Abyss was finally arriving! The Abyss would fully utilize its vast resources to rapidly develop this enormous realm!

Chen Bai’s heart was filled with grand ambitions, but a voice suddenly came from behind:

“I remember your figure. You’re that human, the one who completed the Abyssal Trial! But human, even if you completed the trial, making Aodu submit is impossible!”

Chen Bai turned around and saw his old acquaintance, someone he had killed at least two thousand times during the Abyssal Trial. He had only counted up to two thousand back then. After that, it became too frequent to remember. He sighed, knowing that even Gabul, Winifred, and Mekanshut had said that as soon as the Overlord arrived at their Abyssal layer, they would immediately submit and accept the Overlord’s rule. They understood that with the Abyss present, they could never truly kill or stop Chen Bai, as the Overlord’s power would continually resurrect him.

The result was that for these lower-level demons, it was incredibly difficult to make them submit without first defeating them thoroughly! The Abyssal Well on the 10th layer was situated on a desolate plain, which was also the domain of Aodu, the demon lord. Even as a demon lord, Aodu’s goal was merely to prove himself as the strongest on this land, rather than to rule or enslave other demons. Of course, this was just Aodu’s way.

Chen Bai exhaled deeply and said, “In that case, I have to say it.”

Before Aodu could react, Chen Bai’s expression turned cold, “Submit or die!”
