'Nothing beats the original,' Reign chuckled to himself as he switched back to his old body.
Now that he was back in his original body he noticed how bleak and dark everything looked.
But, this feeling made him feel more at home and comfortable. In contrast, his second body always felt strange and unsettling.
'At least the transfer was quick,' he thought to himself.
He was amazed at how seamlessly he could transfer between the two bodies, even over long distances.
It showed that the soul transfer completely bypassed the laws of space.
But he knew he still needed to test it by going even further away. He was worried that the black miasma could block it.
Of course, he could have just asked the system about how it worked, but analyzing it himself gave him more peace of mind.
'My second body is waiting for the ID, so I should focus on more productive things,' he chuckled to himself.
It would be a waste not to take full advantage of having two bodies and being in two places at once.
With that in mind, he decided to leave Rosewood and move on to the next city to level up.
This way, he could gain experience points and have time to investigate what happened in Brentwood.
FLAP!
Wings spread wide, Reign soared high into the sky, feeling the rush of wind against his face.
With a powerful thrust, he flew and broke through the barrier.
Dark Miasma surrounded him once again, but by now, he was so accustomed to traveling in such an environment that it hardly fazed him.
He flew faster this time, knowing it would take him a few hours to reach his destination.
While in flight, he took the opportunity to scan the landscape below.
Spots of movement caught his undead eye—corrupted creatures wandering through the terrain.
'Sweet,' he muttered to himself, a small grin tugging at the corner of his lips.
He swooped down on the corrupted creatures, gripping his Skull Grinder tightly.
As he got closer to the first group, he turned it on with a loud roar.
The weapon's spinning blades came to life, ripping through the corrupted with unstoppable force.
Swinging the weapon in wide arcs, the spinning blades cut through the creatures effortlessly.
Each swipe sent corrupted creatures flying, their bodies slashed apart.
Soon, the ground beneath was covered in debris and corpses.
'Yeah, the Skull Grinder is still my favorite. Nothing beats the sound of meat just getting mangled,' he chuckled to himself, comparing it to his golden sword.
BOOOM!
One explosion after another rang out, and soon, the entire area was reduced to rubble.
The alarm blared through the city after his bold and blatant attack, but he paid it no mind.
Flying toward the station, he zeroed in on his next target.
With a sudden dive, he descended upon the station and started killing everyone.
His attack was relentless; he unleashed a barrage of powerful javelin that leveled the entire facility.
The underground building crumbled under the force of his attack, sending debris and smoke into the sky.
It ensured that no one in the city would escape the impending disaster.
Meanwhile, chaos quickly spread as the virus took effect.
Workers who had thought their coughing was just a cold soon started to panic.
They began collapsing on the streets, unable to breathe properly. Blood coughed up from their mouths, and their faces turned a sickly blue.
Their breathing became painful and ragged, as if their lungs were being torn apart.
Many fell to the ground, shaking and twitching.
Some tried to crawl to safety, leaving trails of blood behind them. Their hands grew weak, and their movements became slow and desperate.
Amidst the panic, one man staggered through the streets, his face pale but determined.
As a Divergent, he had some immunity to the virus, giving him a chance to escape while others fell victim to the spreading illness.
He pushed through the pain, his breaths coming in ragged gasps.
His mind raced as he spotted a narrow alley. He limped towards it, desperately trying to avoid the collapsing bodies.
Just as he reached the alley, a dark shadow loomed overhead.
Reign landed with a heavy thud a few feet away, his presence exuding a menacing aura.
The Divergent froze, his eyes widening in fear as he saw the imposing figure.
Reign's gaze was cold.
Without a word, he approached the Divergent casually .
The man tried to turn and run, but Reign moved faster.
In one quick motion, he swung his arm, delivering a powerful punch to the Divergent's head.
The force of the blow was so intense that the man's head was sent flying, spinning through the air before crashing into the nearby wall.
His body crumpled to the ground, dead and headless.
'You really think you can escape me?' Reign muttered with a sadistic grin.
