Virus King - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Plague Bishops! Could This Woman Really be the True God?

TL: YYang

Before his last venture into Hell, after Chen Bai successfully cleared the Plague Sewer, the mission given by the Cult of the Plague saw another transformation.

His talent activated the mark left behind by the Cult of the Plague, enabling the Plague Envoys within the God and Devil Trial Grounds to sense changes in the world. This synchronization caused his mission’s progress to connect with the judgment of Cosmic Will, decreeing that he would arrive at White Emperor City in fifteen days.

Now, by calculation, it seemed there wasn’t much variance in timing.

Upon hearing the report from the Evolver Patrol Battalion, Chen Bai immediately issued orders.

Today, Song Ziqiong had not left the villa. Although she was unaware of the matters concerning the Cult of the Plague, she was intrigued by Chen Bai’s unusually solemn attitude. With Chen Bai neither rejecting nor objecting, she remained in the central villa alongside him, eager to see what sort of connection these strange, plague-robed figures had with her master.

It didn’t take long before the robed figures, draped in dark green cloaks, arrived at the East Mountain Villa District.

The expansive cloaks, paired with veils of the same dark green hue covering their faces completely, left no discernible details visible. This eerie appearance heightened their sinister aura, so much so that even the Evolvers escorting them instinctively distanced themselves.

With their enhanced strength and heightened senses, the patrol Evolvers could feel the overwhelming danger emanating from these individuals.

It was clear these visitors were far from ordinary.

However, the patrol team members, constrained by fear and awe, failed to notice the fervent, ecstatic, and reverent gazes beneath the veils of the robed figures.

To these figures, it was as though they were finally meeting the divine entity they had yearned for. Their fanatical faith was even more profound and unyielding than the loyalty and fear exhibited by the Evolver guards.

Faith, by its nature, was an illogical force in this world.

The followers of the Cult of the Plague had proven this repeatedly. They had even sacrificed the life of their High Priest to perform divinations. To make closer contact with the prophesized divine being during this trial, they had offered their entire world and plane as a sacrifice.

Such an act was utterly inconceivable to any sane mind.

Still, their abilities proved formidable.

Through divination, they had identified the appearance of the Virus Sovereign Talent.

Their willingness to sacrifice their world and planes to secure their survival and entry into the God and Devil Trial Grounds demonstrated the immense strength the Cult of the Plague once held in their original world.

Now, having expended such an enormous cost to arrive on Blue Star and enter this God and Devil Trial Grounds, those who remained were undoubtedly of significant power.

The earlier display in the chemical plant of Magic City by Plague Bishop Pukashumi’s strength served as proof.

Of course, their level of strength was constrained within the Trial Grounds; they could not act recklessly or intervene freely.

Now, however, after paying such a hefty price, they had successfully located the divine being of their prophecy within such a short span. This, without a doubt, signified that the Cult of the Plague was destined to rise.

With the divine protection and favor of a True God, every sacrifice they made would be worth it.

Soon, the group arrived at the central villa atop the mountain peak.

During their time in the Trial Grounds, they had gained some understanding of the layout and context of the area.

At that moment, the villa’s gates opened.

A stunningly beautiful woman stepped out.

On her body was an aura they were all too familiar with—the aura of the Child of Misfortune.

Among the highest-tier profession scrolls left in the Plague’s Legacy Cache was precisely the Child of Misfortune.

For the prophesized being destined to become their True God and who had long since established ties with the Cult of the Plague, this connection was undeniable.

It could only mean one thing.

Could this woman be the True God they had been awaiting?

The five robed figures wasted no time. Without even daring to use their perception or investigative skills on a deity, they knelt simultaneously and exclaimed:

“Great God…”

They spoke not in their original language but in the language they had learned since arriving on this world.

Even Song Ziqiong could understand their stilted words.

She froze for a moment. These individuals made no effort to conceal their powerful aura. Activating her Amethyst Eyes, she glimpsed their levels instantly. What she saw left her brain momentarily unable to process.

[Black Star Bishop: Sarulance (Level 85 – BOSS)]

[Pustule Bishop: Richmond (Level 83 – BOSS)]

[Leech Bishop: Festus (Level 82 – BOSS)]

[Plague Bishop: Falk (Level 76 – BOSS)]

[Plague Bishop: Romary (Level 74 – BOSS)]

Song Ziqiong stared in utter disbelief at the figures before her.

Three of these individuals had levels above 80?

Even the other two were above level 70!

According to the markings from Cosmic Will on the forums, those above level 70 were already considered Saints.

At level 80 and beyond, one was an Emperor-level being.

How could entities of this caliber descend upon Blue Star?

What shocked her more was the unfathomable respect and reverence they exhibited toward her.

Could it be that in their worldview, kneeling did not carry the same meaning it did on Blue Star?

But how could that even be possible?
