Chapter 632: Epilogue

Planet Gaia: Southern Plains City, Life Unbound Biotech Private Limited

Three months ago, the shattered soul of Karlston possessed one of the researchers of the Life Unbound company, and had successfully driven out the former owner of this body.

Yet his condition now was no better than the poor soul whom he had unceremoniously kicked out.

Even if Karlston was a demigod, he wasnt like Mo Ke, who had the Devil King Idol to protect him as he crossed the dimensional barriers between worlds.

He had arrived in this world, a ghost of his former self. Had this been like his previous world, he could have easily absorbed the mana in the atmosphere in order to slowly heal himself. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy lingering in this world was corrosive to apparitions like him. Had he not possessed someone early, he would most certainly be dead right now.

In that sense, it was truly a stroke of good luck that Ke Nuoze, the unfortunate researcher he would soon come to possess, so happened to pass by the area of his descent. Even so, the damage to his soul was massive. His memories were a terrible jumble, and it was only through the thinnest of margins that he managed to remember what his mission was.

Speaking of his mission, it was fortunate that his experience as a necromancer had survived the traverse. Adding on his own prowess as a former demigod, along with Nuozes own experience as a researcher, Karlston was able to combine the necromantic arts with biotech. The end result was an undead virus, a strange mix of both magic and biology.

This undead virus was every bit like the zombie viruses one would find in movies those who were infected would turn into undead zombies. However, Karlstons variant was more powerful.

Any claw wound or bite mark from a zombie had a chance of infecting the person, turning him into a new zombie. This applied to both humans and living creatures in general. Essentially, it was a matter of a creatures internal resistance to the virus. Once that was gone, being zombified was only a matter of time.

In that regard, bite marks tended to have a higher chance of a successful zombification: 98% approximately, while a claw marks was just 79%. And as if that wasnt enough, such a zombie also had a chance of turning into a wraith even after being killed, though that probability was less than 2%

Thankfully, such wraiths werent able to act in the sun. However, the attributes of a traditional wraith were all present, such as being immune to physical attacks or being able to pass through walls.

Strong as this virus might be, it wasnt omnipotent. The transmission rate of the virus wasnt high. Direct exposure to air would cause it to naturally die off after a period of time, thanks to the spiritual energy within.

The company itself was a formidable figure locally, and as long as they kept the sales quiet, they could still prevent the government from getting wind of their activities.

Suddenly gifted with such fortune, Karlston happily accepted the boards request, even going so far as to give them an improved version of the serum

Just like that, the fate of this tourist paradise was sealed in the boardrooms of a greedy corporation.

Are you sure about this? Aques Lumen couldnt help but ask his expressionless student, standing there almost doll-like. If you fail you might never regain consciousness

I want to grow stronger. Nicole looked her teacher right in the eyes. In her heart, she had already resolved herself for the worst to happen, thus her eyes were clear as day.

Even if you were to obtain that sword, it might end up working against you instead

But Kes soul might still be suppressed by that she-devil as we speak. And if it is just me I cant do anything No matter what, I have to try.

I think you should at least discuss this with your father and Mille Nix. Seeing the resolve in her eyes, Aques Lumen knew he wasnt going to persuade her otherwise, so he offered a concession instead.

Theres no need for that. Even the mention of Roscar and her master wasnt enough to shake her resolve. If its my dad, he would definitely agree, knowing that I was doing this for Ke. As for my master I doubt she has the time to bother about my matters

Three days. You have three more days to consider. Aques Lumen sighed in resignation, then walked to his office table and sat down. Have some time off with Neneth. If you are still adamant after three days, Ill bring you there but Forget it, Ive never been one to be so wishy washy in the first place. If that is all, you may leave for now, I still have work to do.

Thank you, teacher. Nicole bowed respectfully then left the office.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
