333 The Sky Is Blue

"Island ugly? You'll meet him soon, as to why I call him that… well, because he's managing the island and he's very ugly." Relaxed, Virus replied. While pronouncing those words, the manner of his speaking was so normal a person might mistake it as him muttering something like 'well, because the sky is blue.'.

However, that answer instantly made Amara speechless while she screamed within her mind in disbelief, 'For real? That's your reasoning for calling him that?'

'Also! Why is it that most men surrounding you are all uglies while the women are simply out of this world beauties without exception? What's wrong with you!' She thought in frustration. Truthfully, Amara had long investigated Virus and the people closest to him. For instance, she knew the women around him, for example, Bella, Ella, or that FBI agent were all extreme-level beauties. While on the other hand, the men who could step forward and represent him like the CEO of his company, the head of the Legal department of Virus Industries, and now this so-called Island ugly all had hideous faces.

"Oh, I see. So that's why…" however, not uttering any of those deliberations out loud, she simply nodded her head while acting enlightened.

By now, the jet had successfully landed on the atoll, so, grabbing their essential stuff, the trio exited the jet one after another.

"Welcome back, master!" Immediately, spotting his master walking out of the jet, the Island ugly who had been already waiting there greeted him. It was at this point when the last person, Amara, also strolled out of the entrance of the aircraft while pondering, 'He's indeed very ugly, alright? But did he call Aizen 'master' just now? Is he perhaps some kind of…'

Finally realizing the presence of someone else, the Island ugly queried surprisedly, "This lady is…?"

"Oh, she's Amara Martin, she's… you could say she's a friend of mine." Virus introduced after a brief pause in between.

"Ah… what an auspicious occasion! I think this is the first time we're having a guest on the atoll, welcome!" While a repulsive smile which was apparently supposed to be a pleasant one crept over his face, the Island ugly greeted her.

"Thank you!" Hearing it was the first time they were having any guests on the atoll gave rise to a happy and sweet feeling within Amara while she wondered, 'So even 'she' was never brought here…'

…

While being on their way to a certain building which was the entrance to the underground world, looking at the beautiful scenery of the ocean, seashore, flying flamingos, giant tortoises, and overall the green environment, Amara couldn't help but praise in incredulity, "Woah… this place is simply a piece of art! My… god, creating a resort island here would be the best type of investment!"

Yet, cracking up as if he had just heard a joke, Virus rejected the idea, "Haha… of course, but that's not gonna happen, ever."

"But why not!? It's going to return so much profit!" Being the daughter of one of the best car corporations in the world, of course, she was extremely enticed by the notion of investments that would return a good profit.

'Because this island is the most advanced secret facility on the entire planet.' Amused by the question, Virus answered it within his mind. But obviously, he wouldn't admit that out loud.

However, wearing a proud face, he clarified his audible response, "Isn't that clear? Because it's a pity to turn this atoll into a resort island for the most destructive race on the planet, humans! I mean… did you know that this atoll is considered one of the most biologically diverse and undisturbed raised coral atolls in the world? That it has remained largely untouched by human beings and as such is an outstanding instance of an oceanic island ecosystem in which evolutionary processes are still active?! So how can I even consider ruining something so precious like this? Impossible!"

Listening to his enthusiastic explanations, flabbergast, Amara's eyes had long gone wide-open. She was feeling as if a bombshell had dropped over her head while she felt greatly impressed by his enthusiasm.

'He's so righteous! Ah… he's even more handsome while being a just man! Ssss… hearing those words of his made my heart thump so fast for a moment there... calm down my anxious heart.' These absurd notions went through her mind while she touched her heart unconsciously.

After that, opening her mouth, she started voicing her own perspective on the matter, "Um… you're an amazing guy indeed. But as someone who was raised to be a realist above all, I mean as a person who primarily considers practical profits rather than impractical insights… I disagree with such idealist views. I do admit, however, if I stop being selfish about my own individualistic greed, you're right! It would be a sin to destroy this paradise due to human contact." She asserted eventually.

After arriving at a particular building which was the entrance to the underground world, Virus notified Amara, "Lil Belle and I have something to do, in the meantime, the Island ugly will show you around the island or serve you some tea, okay?"

"Eh… can't I just come with you guys?" was Amara's inquiry in return.

"Unfortunately, no. We'll come back soon, so, please just go entertain yourself shortly." Shaking his head, he promptly refused the idea. There was no way he was going to show her the underground world, which was one of his largest secrets on the planet!

Disappointed by that answer, she could only agree helplessly, "Ah, okay then…"

Afterward, the golden beauty and Virus entered the elevator before taking off to the underground floor. Soon, reaching their destination, the two walked before a large device that was responsible for producing the blue fire which purified the internal areas within every cell present in the human body.

…

Time passed as the golden beauty entered into the device which was almost as big as a room, then, after Virus inputted hundreds of thousands of essential codes to the device, the entire interior compartment of the tool was covered in azure flames as it burned away any impurities within the golden beauty's cells.

And just like that, a short time later, the golden beauty achieved the final level of the Purifying Stage…

The [10th Level: Cleansing The Cells]!
