Virus King - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Farewell Helrose! Crow: It Was Clearly Me First!

TL: YYang

“Humble mortal, your abilities have gained the recognition of the Black Building. Let me see what kind of Evolver is capable of completing my trial!”

A cold voice echoed throughout the large floor.

This voice, Chen Bai would never forget. It was like the voice of fate itself, indistinguishable in gender, with a faint hoarse and cold tone that was completely different from Mekanshut’s feel.

Helrose always gave the impression of being high and mighty, as if she was naturally destined to be that exalted existence.

As if she was naturally meant to stand above all gods!

However, Mekanshut had once mentioned that Helrose’s origins, in a very ancient era, were that of an ordinary elf.

Yet, through her own abilities and various opportunities, she had reached where she was now.

Mekanshut, on the other hand, was born as the Succubus Queen, inherently holding the authority of Lust, and was born a deity!

Chen Bai exhaled slowly, looking directly at the face before him.

The ethereal divine emblem gradually transformed into a giant human face!

This face had an indescribable sense of pride and exquisite beauty, as if all the world’s beautiful things could be described on this visage!

If Mekanshut was the most enchanting and alluring being in the world, then Helrose before him was the most aloof and stunning true goddess.

Despite the black veil on this goddess, there was an added special allure and a hint of mischief.

No one could describe the beauty of this face, and even Chen Bai, who had grown accustomed to Mekanshut’s visage through frequent encounters, was momentarily stunned.

Aesthetics are relatively subjective, and for Chen Bai, purely in terms of facial features, Helrose’s face was actually more attractive than Mekanshut’s!

And undoubtedly, Helrose’s allure was unimaginably powerful. This was evident from the completely dazed expressions of Meng Meng and Crow beside him!

Chen Bai did not speak. He even took a slight step back, fixing his gaze on the giant goddess face with purple eyes.

The massive purple eyes turned slightly, carrying an indescribable sense of mystery amidst their beauty, looking at Chen Bai, who also looked at her!

As their eyes met, Chen Bai clearly saw a glimmer of light on that giant face.

Chen Bai, however, suppressed all his expressions, remaining indifferent and impassive, as if he knew nothing.

But the face before him spoke again, addressing Chen Bai directly:

“Human, do you know me? Your heart and soul seem to have some special resonance with me!”

Chen Bai decisively shook his head.

Even with the Authority of the Abyss, the gap between him and Helrose was unfathomable.

Although the Authority of the Abyss seemed to make him fearless, capable of resurrection and world traversal, the impression Helrose left on him in his past life was too profound.

Who knew what other tricks this deeply scheming goddess might have?

Chen Bai was never one to be arrogant and reckless. Even with the Authority of the Abyss, he wouldn’t express any emotions towards Helrose at this moment.

But Helrose clearly had no intention of letting him go.

“I can sense traces of Lust’s presence on you. An interesting human indeed. I wish to explore the secrets within you! Are you an Evolver who has accepted the dark legacy?!”

Chen Bai shook his head again, pointing to Crow, who hadn’t yet recovered:

“It’s him!”

Helrose’s massive purple eyes turned slowly to look at Crow, visibly frowning with a hint of displeasure.

Chen Bai knew that this special goddess from the elven race was a seasoned aesthete. Her elven bloodline made Helrose fond of all things beautiful and disdainful of all things ugly, including people!

Zhao Zhen finally snapped out of it, hurriedly picking up the broken scroll fragment. He didn’t know what this thing before him was, but undoubtedly, the giant face alone, with its manner of appearance, was proof enough of its complexity.

“Very well, humble human, state your request as a reward for completing the dark trial!”

Crow pursed his lips, feeling indignant! He was the one who triggered the task, yet the giant face’s attitude towards him compared to Lord Bai was too hurtful, wasn’t it?

But he still honestly said:

“I want a profession truly suited to my power!”

Helrose glanced at him, nodding. For a human who met the requirements of her dark trial, his talent was indeed exceptional, and it was truly fitting for this power!

However, Helrose did not pay further attention to him and instead continued to look at Chen Bai with interest:

“Human, what is your name?”

“Chen Bai!”

Chen Bai instinctively replied, his mind still pondering the relationship between Helrose and the Black Building, or rather, the Tower of Night.

Upon receiving the answer, Helrose spoke again:

“Very well, human. As a reward for passing the trial of the Black Building, you may also receive a reward!”

Chen Bai raised his eyebrows slightly but shook his head:

“Your Grace, I don’t need anything! Please, focus on fulfilling the request of my companion instead!”

Helrose’s enormous face showed a slight surprise, and in the next moment, purple-black light gathered in her eyes. Then, the giant face suddenly twisted, transforming into a swirling vortex, which quickly condensed into a special scroll!

“Interesting human with hidden secrets, I will remember your name. We shall meet again! Farewell! Consider this scroll my gift to you as a greeting!”

The hollow voice vanished.

The empty floor of the Black Building turned dark once more, with only Chen Bai, Crow, and Meng Meng standing there. Crow looked at the scroll slowly landing in Chen Bai’s hand with deep resentment!

Damn it!

How could this happen?

It was clearly me first!?
