Virus King - Chapter 359

Chapter 359: Fallen Angel Bloodline! Secret Realm Development Order!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai, within the depths of hell, had not merely acquired the bloodlines of demons and devils.

As one of the primary species in hell, Fallen Angels were creatures Chen Bai had also slain in large numbers during the prior First Embrace Ceremony.

Naturally, through the devouring effect of the Darklight Virus, he had acquired some of their bloodline. However, Chen Bai had yet to consider integrating the Fallen Angel bloodline into the nine bloodlines of his Abyssal Blood.

Fallen Angels were a highly peculiar species. They were originally angels altered within the Abyss and later entered hell, where Satan had severed that realm from the Abyss and entrusted the Authority of Pride, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, to the Fallen Angel King—His Excellency Lucifer Morningstar.

This profoundly influenced certain abilities derived from the Fallen Angel bloodline.

If demons were physically formidable and devils were spiritually potent with various abilities, the core strength of Fallen Angels lay in their mastery of dark magic.

Magic, in essence, was the manipulation of elemental forces.

Darkness, too, was a fundamental and straightforward element. However, when dealing with anything associated with darkness, particularly its attributes and authority, one could never escape the grasp of the Dark Mother Goddess, Helrose.

Of course, to delve deeper, the ultimate pinnacle of darkness naturally fell within the Authority of the Abyss.

Yet, Chen Bai had no desire to directly clash or contend with Helrose over a singular authority like darkness—it simply wasn’t worth it.

Thus, he did not bother collecting the Fallen Angel bloodline for his own use. Instead, he decided to take advantage of the current opportunity to sell this S-Rank bloodline to other Evolvers in need, potentially setting off a bidding frenzy.

As expected, the moment the Fallen Angel bloodline appeared, Group Chat No. 001 erupted with excitement. A message quickly popped up.

[Crow: Lord White Emperor, what do you need in exchange? Is there anything I can offer, or are you only taking gold? What price are you looking for?]

Crow was clearly intrigued. Whether it was his talent for embodying fear or the dark attributes of his Night Dancer profession, both had close ties to darkness.

The Fallen Angel bloodline’s unparalleled mastery of dark magic was irresistible to him. After examining this rare S-Rank bloodline, Crow immediately sent his message, expressing his strong desire for it.

But obviously, Crow wasn’t the only one interested. Among Group Chat No. 001 members, apart from Han Xiao, who had received an S-Rank devil bloodline as a mission reward, nearly everyone else had yet to fuse any bloodline abilities. Seeing such a rare and prestigious S-Rank bloodline naturally piqued their interest.

Moreover, the Fallen Angel species, legendary for its powerful abilities and striking appearance, was undoubtedly appealing to everyone, regardless of gender.

In an instant, the entire group chat erupted into heated arguments.

Chen Bai, however, did not intervene to stop the bickering. Smiling faintly, he watched these individuals—many of whom were renowned in his past life, some even having reached Emperor-level status at the pinnacle of the God and Devil Trial Grounds—debate among themselves.

While Chen Bai didn’t need additional tools, he also wouldn’t reject reasonable trades of items in lieu of gold as payment.

It was clear that, among those arguing, many were merely bluffing. But the one who went all-in without hesitation was none other than Crow.

Although Crow was among the last in Group Chat No. 001 to complete his profession transfer, no one dared underestimate him. He was one of the rare SS-Rank talent holders in the group, second only to the SSS-Rank talents of Meng Meng and Chen Bai.

Moreover, Crow’s profession transfer had granted him an SS profession, making him one of the most promising members of the group. He had even gained the mysterious identity of the Black Building Floor Manager.

The specific functions of this identity remained unknown even to Chen Bai, but Crow’s rapid progress in strength over time was undeniable.

He had even climbed the ranks to become a level 16 powerhouse, firmly placing him in the first echelon of the God and Devil Trial Grounds’ leaderboard—behind only Chen Bai and the meteoric rise of Han Xiao.

The items Crow offered to purchase the Fallen Angel bloodline left the entire group chat stunned.

He spent 80,000 gold coins in total.

Of course, these 80,000 gold coins weren’t solely from his personal earnings. Part of them was borrowed in private from the God-King, the group’s infamous wealthy benefactor.

The God-King, restricted in his own spending, had no qualms about lending gold to group members. After all, befriending powerful Evolvers like those in Group Chat No. 001 was a desirable goal, both for the God-King himself and the high-ranking officials of the future Dragon City.

In addition to the 80,000 gold coins, Crow brought out another item—something so extraordinary that it even stunned Chen Bai.

It was something Chen Bai had heard of but never owned in his previous life—a special item of immense value.

[Secret Realm Development Order]

[Special Item]

[A unique item containing a fragment of the Cosmic Will, capable of transforming all life forms below level 30 within a specified area into a dungeon secret realm. The grade and loot of the secret realm are randomized.]

This was a truly exceptional item.

Despite its level restrictions, creating a new secret realm dungeon was an invaluable asset. For the leader of any Evolver settlement, having access to an additional secret realm dungeon was an irreplaceable treasure.

The sheer rarity of the item was evident from the God-King’s reaction.

[God-King: Crow, do you have another one of those Secret Realm Development Orders? I’m willing to buy it for 80,000 gold coins!]

Chen Bai, ignoring the God-King’s interruption, swiftly finalized the transaction with Crow.
