Virus King - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: 30% Darklight Progress! T-Virus Branch!

TL: YYang

[Virus Sovereign (SSS): Possesses unparalleled control over all bacteria and viruses within your body! Any virus type can be utilized by you! Each time you absorb or come into contact with infectious bacteria or viruses, you can gain Evolution Points and develop additional abilities! Current Evolution Points: 1,318. (Darklight Virus: 805 points, T-Virus: 350 points, Universal Evolution Points: 163 points)]

This was abundant beyond measure!

Now, the talent tree of the Virus Sovereign had been significantly illuminated.

Compared to its initial state, where only a few core nodes were active, the difference was like heaven and earth.

This time, before entering Hell, Chen Bai naturally sought to greatly enhance his strength once again!

Previously, during his time at X Company Headquarters, he had extracted a significant amount of X Virus Serum. However, while the initial acquisition yielded the most, subsequent gains saw diminishing returns in effectiveness and Evolution Points provided.

Thus, despite the feedback from the X Virus Serum, the Evolution Points for the T-Virus were substantial but not overwhelmingly terrifying.

As for the Darklight Virus, there was no need to elaborate.

The frenzied slaughter over this period had led to an unimaginable amount of Evolution Points through devouring and absorption.

And this time was no different.

Additionally, the Universal Evolution Points obtained from absorbing plague creatures and the continuous accumulation from the Plague Sewer were the most precious.

This time, Chen Bai prepared to initiate three simultaneous upgrades!

Darklight Virus, T-Virus, and Universal Infectious Diseases!

First, the Darklight Virus, which was the most crucial.

The enhancement of the Darklight Virus had been the greatest bottleneck.

As Chen Bai’s level reached 21, the capabilities of the Darklight Virus could finally be further developed!

At the same time, its abilities consumed the most Evolution Points. Fortunately, acquiring points for the Darklight Virus was the easiest—kill and devour, and they would come.

All the branch abilities of the Darklight Virus, including the most resource-intensive ones like Claw Form and Earth Spike, had already been fully mastered by Chen Bai.

Thus, the enhancement of the Darklight Virus purely focused on advancing its awakening progress!

[Darklight Virus: In initial awakening, current progress: 20%! Further evolution +1% awakening progress requires 40 Evolution Points! Evolution Points can also unlock other branch abilities of the Darklight Virus! Current Darklight Virus-specific Evolution Points: 805 points!]

[Strength +340, Agility +340, Constitution +340, Spirit +280, Health Recovery Effect +600%!]

There wasn’t much difference from before, but there was a slight improvement. After devouring that Mutant Golden Python, the health recovery effect had been further enhanced!

Exhaling deeply, Chen Bai initiated the evolution process within the darkness and depths of the Abyssal Well.

21%, 40 Evolution Points consumed.
22%, 44 Evolution Points consumed.
23%, 48 Evolution Points consumed.
24%, 52 Evolution Points consumed.

…

The Darklight Virus surged instantly, causing the temperature of every inch of Chen Bai’s flesh to skyrocket. His entire body turned red, almost purple, as if every drop of his blood had transformed into molten flames.

In this searing heat, his flesh seemed to be fusing and merging.

This scene appeared each time the Darklight Virus advanced further in its awakening.

Chen Bai welcomed it eagerly.

The growth of strength through this awakening method was incredibly pure.

So pure that he didn’t even need to comprehend it—this explosive power surged into him without resistance, making him almost instinctively desire transformation.

And yet, the awakening continued!

25%, 56 Evolution Points consumed.
26%, 60 Evolution Points consumed.
27%, 64 Evolution Points consumed.
28%, 68 Evolution Points consumed.
29%, 72 Evolution Points consumed.
30%, 76 Evolution Points consumed.

In mere moments, the terrifying amount of Evolution Points Chen Bai had accumulated was over halfway depleted!

A staggering 580 points of Darklight Virus Evolution Points evaporated entirely!

They became the perfect nutrients for his body’s power.

The Darklight Virus progressed from 20% to 30% in awakening!

This enhancement and growth left Chen Bai intoxicated by the power!

But Chen Bai knew this was only the beginning. He glanced at the core changes in the Darklight Virus:

[Darklight Virus: In moderate awakening, current progress: 30%! Further evolution +5% awakening progress requires 300 Evolution Points! Evolution Points can also unlock other branch abilities of the Darklight Virus! Current Darklight Virus-specific Evolution Points: 225 points!]

[Strength +500, Agility +500, Constitution +500, Spirit +350, Health Recovery Effect +600%!]

“Hm?!”

Chen Bai was slightly surprised. The awakening level of the Darklight Virus had transitioned from initial to moderate awakening.

More importantly, each further awakening would now directly increase the progress by 5% instead of 1%. However, the Evolution Points required for each increment had also become absurdly high.

But these weren’t issues.

Chen Bai didn’t even bother to examine the newly unlocked branch abilities from the 30% awakening progress of the Darklight Virus.

Chen Bai shifted his gaze to the other side of his talent tree.

The T-Virus!

Previously, he had already enhanced two abilities of the T-Virus, but only up to two stages of strengthening.

The Evolution Points consumed weren’t insignificant, but they weren’t exorbitant either.

Now, with the substantial amount of X Virus Serum he had obtained, the cost of using these Evolution Points was negligible in comparison.

More importantly, due to the absorption of a considerable amount of X Virus Serum, the Evolution Points required for further enhancements of the T-Virus had significantly decreased.

Chen Bai turned his attention to the branching evolutions on the T-Virus talent tree for further strengthening!

To his surprise, after reinforcing the T-Virus this time, two entirely different branches emerged in its next stage of evolution.

[T-C Virus: Greatly enhances mutation capability, allowing the host to mutate limitlessly based on the environment and needs. However, the mutation direction cannot be entirely controlled. Evolution Point Cost: 300 points.]

[T-Super Enhanced Virus: Further intensifies the concentration and potency of the virus, significantly boosting physical abilities and mental power. Evolution Point Cost: 300 points.]

(Note: Only one branch can be selected for enhancement. Once chosen, the other branch will disappear and be fully integrated into the selected branch.)

Staring at these two distinct branches, Chen Bai fell into deep contemplation.
