Chapter 913 Ways

913 Ways

Michael made some progress. At least, it felt like he did after his True Extraction Essence and some of his curse power coursed through Zeke. The True Extraction Essence and curse power helped him use his Beast God Curses' knowledge of eons to analyze his friend's condition.

[This Blood Incursion is an interesting thing. It works the most efficiently on humans with a pure bloodline and alters their entire being...strengthening them while transforming them into devout believers of the Supreme Bloodline theory. Blood Incursion seems like a treatment used to influence the patient and transform them into higher beings. Lesser races, as long as their bloodline is pure, can transform into Elite or Superior races as long as they overcome the aftereffects of Blood Incursion.] The World Serpent hissed, not trying to hide how impressed it was.

[One of the First must have created this. I don't think anyone is old enough to understand the Essence of all Human races this well.] Fenrir growled in Michael's mind. [That would explain why the Supreme Human Alliance hates Curse Users so much.]

"Why does that explain their hatred toward Curse Users and the Nest?" Michael couldn't follow Fenrir's reasoning.

[Your friend's body is decaying because of the curse power circulating through his body. The Blood Incursion is negated and blocked by curse power from its appearance. However, as the Blood Incursion has already changed your friend, negating it will kill him. Before the Blood Incursion took effect, your curse power blocked it. That's why they had to call an Inquisitor to cleanse their Essences from your presence before the Blood Incursion worked, even though your friends have a very pure bloodline.]

Michael nodded in understanding, but he panicked a little, hearing that Zeke's body was decaying.

[Don't do anything. The healing serum works well against the decaying. There is not enough curse power inside him for Blood Incursion to decay him faster than your healing serum can heal him. If you want our help, you'll need to keep infusing curse power into him so we can analyze his essence and devise ways to stop the blood incursion.]

Before, Michael had felt like the Beast God Curses were merely curious about the Blood Incursion. That's why he channeled curse power into Zeke to discover what his Curses might know about Blood Incursion. However, he didn't expect them to feel like helping him anymore.

[Don't be mistaken. Fenri has an eon-long feud with the Supreme Human alliance. If one of the First created Blood Incursion, he would do everything necessary to stop him.] The World Serpent hissed while Fenrir growled again.

"Is that also why my Ancestor was killed? Or was that actually because of the Wicked Spear Arts?"

Do you mean Cleave Fenrir? He was a mighty fellow, and the Will would have chosen me as its Curse if not for certain circumstances. But the Wicked Spear Arts got him killed before the Supreme Human Alliance could act.]

"You know a lot about my ancestors. Why is that?" [I know everything about those who awaken a canine Curse in the Fenrir Bloodline. I don't know why your ancestors devoured the White Tiger, but I know all about your sister and other true descendants of the Fenrir Bloodline. I am Fenrir, after all!]

Michael raised an eyebrow but nodded.

"Okay...whatever. Let's proceed researching Zeke and the Blood Incursion," He mumbled, only to receive a message on the Origin Watch. Only a few hours must have passed since he and Hesta finished their business in the Galactical Plaza, but trouble awaited them there already.

[Fera: The Plaza was overrun. Bridges were altered. Invasion!]

It was a short message with barely sufficient details to explain what had happened, but Michael was confused nonetheless.

'Didn't we stop the Numbers before they could do anything? How is it possible that the Bridges were altered?'

Michael had no idea how it was possible, but he understood that he had to do something now.

He released more healing elixir to keep Zeke in stasis and continued to heal him while the curse power collected more data. In the meantime, Michael would have to move.
