Virus King - Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Abyss and Plague! Two Professions?

TL: YYang

“Your profession!?”

This question not only left the Plague Cult bishops standing before him astonished but also piqued the curiosity of Song Ziqiong.

Rumors had long circulated on the forums about Chen Bai’s legendary SSS-Rank profession, known as the Scourge of the Living.

From all appearances, it indeed seemed to be the case.

Chen Bai’s profession truly seemed to be Scourge of the Living, but Song Ziqiong always felt there was more to the truth than met the eye.

And now, it seemed that the mystery was about to be revealed!

Chen Bai looked at the five individuals before him. The events outside the door earlier had not escaped his attention. Naturally, he understood their concerns.

However, Chen Bai held the Plague Cult in high regard. Regardless of other factors, they had played a critical role in his achievements. It was thanks to Pukashumi’s ultimate sacrifice that he had been given the opportunity to obtain the Scourge of the Living profession scroll.

Now, upon meeting these bishops of the Plague Cult once again, Chen Bai felt a deep sense of trust toward them.

But instead of speaking too much, he smiled faintly and said:

“I have already met Pukashumi.”

At the mention of this name, their eyes lit up slightly.

“Pukashumi sacrificed his life for me. Here, in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, he offered the entirety of his Saint-level power, his life, and even his soul in a ritual sacrifice to unlock the Secret Realm of the Historical Vortex. Only then did I obtain the Scourge of the Living profession scroll. This profession transcends the Child of Misfortune, a profession purely fused with the Authority of Plague and divine power. It is an SSS-Rank profession. So, you can rest assured!”

At these words, the bishops’ eyes lit up even brighter.

SSS-Rank!

The Plague Cult had originally prepared only an SS-Rank profession, yet true to the nature of a True God, Chen Bai had achieved the impossible, as if he was destined to be their king.

In the hands of a True God, impossibilities became possibilities, including the acquisition of this invaluable SSS-Rank profession.

Sarulance, the Black Star Bishop leading the group, spoke with an exaggerated tone full of reverence:

“To contribute to Your Divine Descent was Pukashumi’s honor. If necessary, we are also prepared to offer our lives and everything we possess!”

Song Ziqiong, standing at the side, was utterly stunned.

What kind of people were these?

Level 80 beings willing to offer their lives so readily for their master?

Such faith was undoubtedly that of fanatical zealots, wasn’t it?

And what exactly was this Plague Cult? What kind of sect was this?

Chen Bai raised his hand, and the light of the Plague Sun shone forth.

However, Chen Bai did not spread the virus. Instead, he activated the power of Blossoming of All Things, allowing the living beings of the Plague Cult who had traveled great distances to truly feel that the figure before them was a genuine True God.

“This power! This is the Authority of Plague! The Great True God truly…”

Feeling the greenish glow of the Plague Sun, Richmond, whose figure was slightly plump, trembled beneath his dark green robe, looking comical and absurd.

Yet before he could finish his words, he and the other bishops froze in place.

For on Chen Bai’s right hand—

The verdant glow of the Plague Sun had not yet dissipated when a faint trace of purple-black lines began to spread across his hand.

These lines had no discernible shape or pattern.

There was no reference point for their appearance, but upon seeing them, an inexplicable sense of malevolence spread swiftly from the depths of one’s soul.

It was as if these purple-black lines were the most sinister substance in all of existence across the multiverse, beyond comparison.

The darkness seemed capable of devouring everything.

The power concentrated within these black lines caused even these level-80-plus Plague bishops, capable of walking among the stars, to tremble and shudder uncontrollably.

What kind of power was this!?

The five bishops stared in disbelief.

“This is?!”

“This is the Authority and Power of the Abyss!”

Chen Bai declared without hesitation.

He made no effort to conceal anything, nor did he care about Song Ziqiong standing nearby. There was no need for pretense. Previously, he had refrained from speaking because it wasn’t necessary.

But now, with the protection of the Abyss, Chen Bai had no fear of revealing the truth.

“The Abyss…”

These two simple words left the five bishops frozen, staring at the wisp of darkness in utter shock.

The Abyss—any being in the multiverse was familiar with its existence.

It was the dark side of the universe, the aggregate of all negative forces, the final culmination of all darkness. It could devour everything, and potentially, even the entire universe itself.

Demons were merely its inhabitants and citizens. While the Abyss represented demons, demons could never fully represent the Abyss.

The terror of the Abyss was well-known, even within the Plague Cult’s dimension.

And now, the True God they had sought so arduously—their destined king—was displaying the power and Authority of the Abyss before their eyes!?

What did this mean!?

Festus, usually the silent one among the five, spoke in disbelief:

“The Authority of the Abyss… how could a living being control it? According to legend, even the gods cannot enter the Abyss… Moreover, Your Excellency, how could you possess the Authority of the Abyss when you already wield the Authority of Plague!?”

This question left the five bishops—Saints and Emperor-level powerhouses—staring at Chen Bai with the curiosity of children discovering the impossible.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Ziqiong’s mind had completely crashed, her thoughts echoing a single sentence.

Chen Bai, her master, had two professions!?
