Virus King - Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Terrifying Attributes! Entering Hell!

TL: YYang

The Influenza Virus was always the strongest ability Chen Bai possessed among all his virus powers.

With two evolutions of Influenza, once it infected someone with a strength similar to Chen Bai’s, whether an Evolver or an enemy, victory would become utterly impossible for them.

Even gods were no exception!

This fact had been proven when he entered the Abyssal Trial previously.

Any Abyssal Lord—even those Demon Lords blessed by profession abilities—once infected with the Influenza Virus, would be rendered completely powerless.

All Chen Bai had to do was evade quickly and prolong the fight. That alone was enough to drag these terrifying entities, whose power was comparable to gods, into a state worse than death.

This was the Influenza Virus.

Compared to the Plague Sun’s widespread infectivity, the Influenza Virus was far more tyrannical in its effects.

Of course, the Plague Sun’s primary role was to broaden its channels of rapid spread. Moreover, after infection, it would trigger an additional infection of the Black Death.

It could be said that the real power of the Plague Sun lay in the Black Death’s instant-death effect.

However, Chen Bai’s opponents were unlikely to be creatures of the same level.

Higher-level beings, due to their cultivation realms, skills, and abilities, tended to have significant immunity to such instant-death effects.

This was where the Influenza Virus came into play!

Previously, Chen Bai had checked: further enhancing the Influenza Virus in its current “inflammatory outbreak” state would require 150 Evolution Points and a Constitution attribute of 500 points.

For the old Chen Bai, these numbers were like a pipe dream. But now, the required Evolution Points were available, just barely.

Chen Bai didn’t hesitate. Although other infectious diseases were tempting, his familiarity and affinity with Influenza made it the clear choice.

With this decision, the precious Universal Evolution Points began to drain rapidly. At the same time, a light appeared on the Influenza Virus’s Talent Tree, glowing like luminous dew, slowly spreading along its branches.

Then, the next branch belonging to the Influenza Virus on the Talent Tree was illuminated!

At that moment, Chen Bai instinctively began coughing.

The sound resembled a broken bellows, emitting wheezing and hissing noises.

This was the first time Chen Bai had felt the effects of his own ability so vividly.

The intrusion of the Influenza Virus even caused Chen Bai himself to feel its effects momentarily.

However, this impact came and went quickly.

In less than half a minute, it vanished completely.

Simultaneously, the effects of this new Influenza upgrade appeared before Chen Bai’s eyes!

[Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Infection and transmission can now occur directly via the tuberculosis virus without requiring the base Influenza Virus. Once transmitted, the infected can indiscriminately spread the virus to all living creatures!]

Additionally, the Virus Sovereign can control the outbreak at any time, directly inducing states of “Asthma,” “Inflammation,” and “Exhaustion.” The effects of these three states caused by tuberculosis infection are enhanced by 100%!

“Hm!?”

Chen Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. The enhancements from the next stage of the Influenza Virus didn’t introduce entirely new abilities.

Instead, it optimized the existing Influenza Virus and strengthened the three states from the previous stage.

In essence, his innate ability had been further enhanced in this area. Moreover, it no longer required Chen Bai to actively spread the infection, allowing him to freely control the timing and scope of the outbreaks.

In terms of raw power, the improvement was enormous. Additionally, the flexibility of the virus outbreak had significantly increased.

Chen Bai nodded in satisfaction.

With three categories of Virus Enhancements now fully upgraded, he had used up all the available Evolution Points.

Although the Darklight Virus still had many branches to explore, Chen Bai hadn’t thoroughly examined those new abilities yet.

Even so, he estimated that the remaining Evolution Points likely wouldn’t be enough to make a meaningful impact.

Chen Bai shifted his gaze to his attribute panel.

At that moment, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath:

[Chen Bai (Doomsday Tyrant)]
[Evolver ID: 001]
[Talent: Virus Sovereign (SSS)]
[Professions: Abyssal Overlord (SSS), Scourge of the Living (SSS)]
[Bloodline: Pureblood Demon Sovereign (SSS)]

[Strength: 1024 (+393)]
[Agility: 1105 (+421)]

[Charisma: ???]
[Luck: ???]
[Gold: …]

[Talent Skills: Influenza, Darklight Virus Series (omitted), T-Virus Series (Telekinetic Manipulation, Telekinetic Impact, Telekinetic Shield)]
[Profession Skills: Omitted]

What was terror?

At that moment, Chen Bai felt an unparalleled sense of dreamlike strength.

And yet, this wasn’t even his full power.

If he activated his Demon Transformation and doubled his attributes again, using his maximum Spirit as a benchmark, Chen Bai’s full-force Spirit would soar to an astronomical seven to eight thousand!

While attribute values only represented one facet of strength, they were undoubtedly a direct reflection of one’s raw power.

Combat wasn’t merely a numbers game; life-and-death battles relied on skill, strategy, and more. But there was no denying that attributes served as the most intuitive measure of one’s might.

In that instant, Chen Bai truly felt an illusion of invincibility.

No, it wasn’t an illusion—it was reality!

He was invincible at this moment.

As he sensed the chorus of voices from the Abyssal Well, countless demons called out to him, surrendering to his might.

Chen Bai’s eyes turned crimson, glowing with an eerie scarlet light.

The next moment, the Hell King’s Ring, adorned with demonic horns, began to emit a deep, black radiance.

Taking a step forward, Chen Bai leaped through the dark door before him.

Simultaneously, the voices of Cosmic Will and Abyssal Will echoed in unison—not only speaking at the same time but uttering the exact same words:

[You have accepted a special SSS-Rank mission: King of Hell!]
