The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 671

Chapter 671

Yet everything comes with pros and cons . The immune system is like a double-edged sword that implicates severe side effects after an organ transplant . Take for example a recipient of a kidney transplant . Even if the operation succeeds, the recipient still has to constantly consume immunosuppressants in exchange for better sustainability for 85% in a year, 60% in 5 years but merely 1% over 10 years!

Having been transplanted into Sheyan’s body, the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ now had to face resistance from his bodily immune system . Moreover, this was a war the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ cannot win, because if it did, that would signify Sheyan’s bodily immune system crumbling; a consequence akin to contracting full blown aids .

Fortunately, the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ would rely on the capabilities of the progenitor virus, to deceive Sheyan’s immune system; tricking into believing it was an organ part of his body . . . putting it bluntly, the immune system was like a gate and the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ a guest . A guest wouldn’t trample over the gate to enter, lest any thief could freely enter to plunder . Instead, a guest would knock, before the gate receives him in and shutting once again; thereby guarding against any robber… . . .

Thus at this moment, it was all up to the progenitor virus of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ . However, the sapling ‘Stairway of the Sun’ had been polluted and inhibited by the coiled serpent’s venom . Therefore after experiencing numerous variations, one couldn’t be sure if the progenitor virus was still present, or perhaps even if it was, would it still be as potent as before . Its effects could no longer be forecasted .

After slicing off that ‘true nucleus’, Old Aram hooked out another overturned skull mug, and poured its foul smelling contents into Sheyan’s mouth; forcing him to gulp down large mouthfuls . Swirling within that filthy liquid, were tiny dead birds, fragmented bones of dead rodents and fur . All in all, the drink was utterly repulsive, and would probably leave behind a mouthful of sediments . . . .

After performing all these, Old Aram employed his amateur techniques and begun setting Sheyan’s sternum back to position . . . . of course, he wasn’t trained in stitching . Instead, a plentiful cluster of common jungle vines was brought over . After pressing out starchy white sap from the vines and heating over a nearby fire dyke into a paste, he smeared it across Sheyan’s wound as though attempting to glue it together .

Meanwhile, Sheyan wasn’t paying attention to such details at all . Ever since the sapling ‘Stairway of the Sun’ was transplanted into his body, an unfathomably searing pain tormented him . Such agony was truly indescribable, and the closest estimate would be countless hands consecutively pinching one’s muscle fiber; like infinite acute pricks terrorizing one’s nervous systems! A pain that surged furiously along his bloodstream, stretching towards a hundred bones and his four limbs, and eternally unquenchable .

Even though Sheyan possessed an unyielding mental fortitude, he was already on the verge of crying out to give up . If not for his paralyzed body, he would certainly struggle fanatically and escape . Still, he persisted and endured the pain .

After what seemed like a few generations, but actually five minutes in reality, the pain gradually faded after drinking down that incredibly disgusting skull beverage . Next came a strange tingling itch . The source of this sensation was extremely palpable, stemming from around his chest wound where the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ infiltrated; upsurging a wild impulse within him to viciously claw at his chest .

Being under such torment, Sheyan was actually hallucinating about illusions of surveying cells floating in his blood . Those cells fissioned into various queer forms and proceeded to gobble up each other one after another . . . . .

Not long after descending into hallucinations, he straightforwardly fainted .

In the following day, Sheyan switched between the states of acute pain, fainting, tingling itchiness and even clarity . His deep unconsciousness lasted for 24 hours . Soon, one could evidently notice that Sheyan’s period of clarity became increasingly longer, while his state of agony and itch became much shorter .

Fortunately, staying in Port Qom only cost 1,000 utility points per hour . Otherwise, the realm would’ve started pawning away his equipment… . . .

Finally, after 48 hours, Sheyan finally received a late arriving notification from his nightmare imprint .

[ Royal Ndipaya secret Babu-Babusar ritual has concluded ]

[ You are infected with the ‘Ancestors’ Virus ]

[ You are now an A-Virus carrier ]

[ You have become an A-Virus host ]

[ You become immune to all virus effects . This effect takes ‘Domain Precedence’ ! ]

[ You acquired the ability: Babu-Babusar – You can utilize any bodily means, to break off or resume the circulation of your virus stream; thereby letting external effects affect you, or subsequently removing it ]

[ You obtained a fraction of flora characteristics ]

[ Ability: Photon-rejuvenation – Where the light rays are the weakest, healing gaseous will emit from your mouth, nose, and pores; bestowing 5 HP/ second regeneration to surrounding allies ]

[ Aforementioned effects take ‘Domain Precedence’! ]

Sheyan breathed deeply upon browsing through these notifications . . . . his unceasing perseverance was finally rewarded! Just a single ‘Stairway of the Sun’ morphing into a virus circulatory system, granted him a list of absolutely frightening passive rewards . Moreover, the effects all possessed ‘Domain Precedence’!

Needless to say was that ‘Pestilence Monarch’ rank S ability he obtained! Moreover, Sheyan paid special attention to the three monumental prefix attached to the ability – secret, variated and evolvable! He reckoned that only with many unconventional elements combined, did such an invincible ability materialized .

Yet after the initial crazed delight of possessing a rank 9/S ability, he immediately remembered one practical fact!

His ‘Uruk-hai gene-mixes’ came from the rank 6 ‘Black Art mix Technique’, and already forced him to become a conspicuous spender of achievement points . As for an ability with 9 tiers and evaluated with an 'S' rank… . . . heavens!!!! Wouldn’t its achievement point consumption be sufficient to kill?

Carrying such complication emotions, Sheyan started to inspect the specifics of his ‘Pestilence Monarch’ ability .

[ Pestilence Monarch requirement: Possessor must be a stabilized A-virus host ]

[ Rank: 9 tiers ]

[ Evaluation: S – Variated / Secret / Maturable ]

[ Description: The A-virus is an abnormal strain of the Progenitor virus . This virus strain substantially lowers the destruction and mutations done to the human host body . Instead, it works towards evolving the virus system by devouring and duplications ]

[ Further descriptions: If one claims the most famous strain of the Progenitor virus to the be the T-virus, whose aim in Resident Evil is to become the perfect biological weapon, then the A-virus can be considered to have broken new grounds for the progenitor virus . A completely new biochemistry virus whose aim is perfection through duplication and evolving, thus given the name – The Pestilence Monarch ]

[ Details: Ability user can grasp all sorts of viruses, with the main battling tactic of stealthily compounding multitudes of viruses onto the enemy; torturing them to death without a sound nor trace! ]

[ Pestilence Monarch ability: Disseminate – The unrivaled survivability of the A-virus strain propels your virus disseminating radius by 100% ]

[ Pestilence Monarch ability: Immuno-invalidation – The A-virus relies on the host’s immune system to survive as well . Thus, it possesses unparalleled invading capabilities, being able of completely negating the opponent’s immune, resistance born from physique, and even various regulations . Only a specialized virus resistance ability can counter it . This ability takes ‘Domain Authority Precedence’ ]

[ Pestilence Monarch ability: Toxin-stealth – The A-virus strain can invade an opponent’s body without triggering their perceptive sense . Only after symptoms concludes, would the enemy receive the relevant notifications . This ability takes ‘Domain Authority Precedence’ ]

[ Note: Your body contains a living ‘Stairway of the Sun’ . All achievement points, utility points, and potential points cost of strengthening viruses is reduced by 50% ]

Sheyan skimmed through towards the end of the ‘Pestilence Monarch’ ability specifics . Yet upon careful examinations at the end, he shockingly discovered three evolution options .
