Virus King - Chapter 395

Chapter 395: The Heart of Fury! An Ultimatum?

TL: YYang

Chen Bai glanced at the casual banter in the group chat, then at Chang Liu and Liu Huai, who were nearby. Their discussions about the Underworld sparked his curiosity.

Afterward, he shifted his gaze to the forum posts from the Goguryeo side, which had been directly translated by the platform.

[The northern territories rightfully belong to us, the Goguryeo Empire. They were merely divided into north and south before. Now, naturally, they are ours!]

[If you dare, come and fight us. Our Great Han Underworld Nation is not to be trifled with!]

[Exactly. Doesn’t the Dragon Nation have that so-called White Emperor? If he’s so capable, let him come! Our Lord Baek San would never fear him!]

[According to historical records, our nation once unified the entire East, including the Dragon Nation. If you ask me, the people of the Dragon Nation should remember who the true masters of this land are!]

[The people of the Dragon Nation are only fit to serve us. Considering the apocalypse now, it seems inevitable that evolvers from our Great Han Underworld Nation will dominate the world!]

[As for that so-called White Emperor? He’s nothing. Even entering a secret realm dungeon, he has to bring a few women. And those women? So beautiful—imagine how many times they’ve been played with…]

[And that ridiculous ‘Group Chat No. 001’? Just a group of Sinites entertaining themselves. In our Great Han Underworld Nation, they wouldn’t even make a splash! Laughable!]

[…]

The posts flashed before Chen Bai’s eyes.

His expression remained unchanged. Chen Bai had long understood the darker aspects of human nature.

When humans were divided into factions, conflict was inevitable.

Truthfully, Chen Bai had little interest in the battles between human nations and their factions.

His sights were set on the heavens and myriad realms, on the gods across dimensions. His enemies were those he imagined: Hell’s King Beelzebub, the Dark Mother Goddess Helrose, and other unknown yet hostile deities.

Blue Star’s God and Devil Trial Grounds held the potential for one to ascend to godhood, but it wasn’t something everyone could achieve.

Even producing a handful of such individuals would be an incredible feat.

Under these circumstances, Chen Bai truly didn’t care about the disputes surrounding the trial grounds.

Still, being assigned to a faction made certain confrontations unavoidable.

Although Chen Bai neither cared nor thought much of it, many ignorant people would still seek him out.

Take the current situation, for instance.

Chen Bai bore no goodwill toward the people of Goguryeo but had never planned to take action against them.

Yet, the comments about him here stirred a faint anger within him.

Among the Seven Deadly Sins, Satan had claimed that pride was the strongest, but the power of wrath undeniably ranked in the top three.

Pride, wrath, and envy—those were the strongest.

Soon, Chen Bai calmed the anger in his heart, though a savage feeling began to spread within him.

What era was this?

The apocalypse had arrived! The appearance of the God and Devil Trial Grounds and evolvers had erased past rules entirely.

Now, the strong could do whatever they pleased.

Compared to life before the apocalypse, this era was far more raw and primal.

This was the apocalypse.

Yet Chen Bai always reminded himself: he controlled his power, not the other way around.

Because of this, Chen Bai rarely unleashed his power indiscriminately.

It was part of how he maintained control over his path to godhood.

Still, looking at certain groups in certain regions, he couldn’t help but feel they were unnecessary.

In his dimly lit room, two ghostly green lights gleamed in his eyes.

Perfect.

Chen Bai had yet to figure out how to complete his Second Profession Transfer Task for the Plague Mission.

The construction of the Plague Garden was still unclear, but one aspect of the mission was undeniable:

Spreading the plague and turning the land into a paradise of pestilence—a forbidden zone for life—would absolutely progress the mission!

This was a good chance for Chen Bai to test his current strength.

Slowly rising, his emerald-green pupils glowed faintly as he gazed at the White Emperor City under the night sky.

After some thought, he refrained from taking immediate action.

He had already made up his mind, but the world wasn’t black and white. Among the so-called “sticks” of the peninsula, there were a few decent ones.

Factions drew clear lines, but every nation had people who understood things clearly.

Moreover, in his previous life, Chang Liu often brought him entertainment—whether girl groups or wealthy heiresses—which left Chen Bai with a shred of pity.

Because of this, Chen Bai didn’t mind giving them a chance.

He had never posted anything on the forum before. It wasn’t for any specific reason; he simply had nothing to say.

However, tonight, amidst the universal forums where evolvers from all nations gathered, a post appeared—along with a name that caught everyone’s attention.

[White: In five days, I will visit the Goguryeo Peninsula. During this time, you may leave the territory of Goguryeo or choose to switch factions. If you fail to do so, or if five days isn’t enough, blame only your own bad luck.]

It was a simple post. The forums were full of such threats.

However, this post stood out for two reasons:

First, the username bore a golden star with the number “1,” marking it as the account of the top-ranked evolver.

Second, the unique ID left no room for doubt.

The poster was none other than the White Emperor himself—the very person who had reclaimed first place on the leaderboard and ruled the largest evolver city, White Emperor City.

Since the arrival of the God and Devil Trial Grounds, this name was one of the most recognized across Blue Star.

This figure had never spoken on the forums before, yet tonight, he posted such a statement!?

Whether he had been disgusted by the foul words of the peninsula or had some vested interest in the Underworld Nation, everyone knew one thing:

Things were about to get interesting.
