Virus King - Chapter 366

Chapter 366: The Legacy of the Cult of the Plague! The Plague Cauldron!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai’s words immediately brought the five bishops back to their senses.

At that moment, they finally snapped out of their previous state of shock.

The Cult of the Plague had sacrificed an entire world, and naturally, treasures accompanied such a monumental act.

These treasures were offerings to their god. Chen Bai’s statement only served to ease their minds, leaving them with no lingering doubts or reservations.

As long as they could aid the birth of their god, for these fanatics who devoted their lives to the faith of plague, even sacrificing their own lives was worthwhile!

Under such circumstances, the legacy of the Cult of the Plague naturally belonged to the True God standing before them!

The Black Star Bishop, Sarulance, glanced at Song Ziqiong, to which Chen Bai smiled and said:

“The Child of Misfortune’s profession comes from the Cult of the Plague. She is, without a doubt, one of you. Don’t overthink it.”

“Understood!”

Sarulance replied with a firm nod and extended his hand. The other bishops followed suit, raising their hands in unison.

At that moment, Chen Bai’s gaze landed on the dark green rings on their hands. Almost in sync with their movements, a soft green glow emanated from the rings.

Simultaneously, a spatial vortex appeared before Chen Bai.

Even standing at this end of the vortex, Chen Bai could feel the boiling power emanating from the other side.

Within this energy was an unimaginable sense of intimacy.

It was the aura of Authority!

Clearly, the treasury of the Cult of the Plague contained countless unimaginable treasures!

“True God, the treasury of the Cult of the Plague holds everything you could possibly need, whether it be equipment, items, skills, various Plague Eggs, or even Plague-related buildings!” one of the bishops said.

Chen Bai nodded. “Buildings and Plague Eggs can wait. Once the Plague Plane is fully established, they can be utilized. For now, bring out the most valuable items in the treasury for me to see!”

The most valuable items!

The bishops exchanged glances before, moments later, two objects slowly emerged from the green vortex and appeared before Chen Bai.

Almost immediately upon their appearance, the entire villa seemed to shift subtly.

Without hesitation, Chen Bai summoned the Plague Sun. The green orb absorbed the dense fungal spores floating in the air, leaving the surroundings clear once more. Only then did he focus on the two objects before him.

The most eye-catching of the two was the primary source of the airborne plague fungi in the room.

It was a massive cauldron.

Its diameter spanned 1.5 meters, and its surface was entirely dark green, perfectly aligned with the aesthetic of the Cult of the Plague.

Inside the cauldron was a viscous, dark green liquid.

A glance at it would make any ordinary person feel uneasy. Yet, to Chen Bai, it exuded an unparalleled sense of intimacy, as though it were a natural extension of his power.

This cauldron was the greatest treasure of the Cult of the Plague. It was also the main source of the Plague Authority Chen Bai could sense within it.

As expected, the moment Chen Bai’s eyes fell upon the cauldron, its properties and abilities appeared before him.

[Plague Cauldron (SSS)]
[Special Item]
[Virus and Poison Resistance: +10,000%!]
[Plague Transformation: All beings can undergo a plague baptism within this cauldron, transforming into Plague Creatures!]
[Virus Cultivation: All viral fungi can be purified and evolved within the cauldron. Additionally, viral fungi with different effects can be fused to create new strains!]
[Plague Blessing: Any being blessed by the plague will randomly contract a disease and suffer eternal torment. However, their lifespan, strength, level, and overall power will be significantly enhanced! Each being can receive up to three blessings, corresponding to levels 10, 50, and 90.]
[Entropy Reversal: Living beings can be broken down within the Plague Cauldron, reducing them to their fundamental viral and fungal forms. The effects and applications of this ability remain largely unknown…]
[Usage Requirement: Mastery over the rules of ‘Plague’ Authority!]

This thing?!

Chen Bai blinked.

These abilities and effects were indeed aligned with his hopes.

If he could fully control this item, he wouldn’t need to scour the world for new viruses or fungal strains to earn Evolution Points for his Virus Sovereign Talent.

This single Plague Cauldron was essentially a bottomless goldmine of Plague Evolution Points.

However, one aspect of its abilities puzzled him—the final listed ability: Entropy Reversal.

What did that even mean?

In the Cult of the Plague’s religious texts, there were mentions of such a concept. The God of Plague was described as the supreme deity who could grant eternal existence to life.

The very nature of life itself was said to be free of hierarchy—whether it be minuscule, filthy viruses and fungi or the most powerful transcendent beings, all life was equal in the eyes of the Plague God.

Yet, the Entropy Reversal ability of this Plague Cauldron left Chen Bai scratching his head.

For now, he decided not to dwell on it too much. Judging by its description, it was a sinister ability.

To break down humans and creatures into fungal matter? That seemed to be the basic interpretation.

With that thought, Chen Bai exhaled deeply. He could feel his Plague Authority surging as his hand gently touched the cauldron.

At that moment, his profession abilities began to boil within him.

The Plague Authority seemed to have grown by an additional 0.2%.

Though the Plague Cauldron wasn’t classified as equipment, it was undeniably an SSS-Rank item.

Plague Authority and divinity were deeply entwined within it.

As Chen Bai asserted his control over it, the cauldron emitted a dark green glow. The liquid inside bubbled vigorously, as if it had finally found its rightful master.

The sight left the bishops of the Cult of the Plague visibly moved.

The Plague Cauldron had always been the source of the cult’s strength and its very foundation.

Yet now, for the first time, such a phenomenon had occurred.

It was clear: the being before them was undoubtedly the future True God of the Cult of the Plague.
