“So… the Evil God is a rock?” Anthony looked at the submerged object and said.
“I’ve never seen the true form of the Evil God before… Of course, in theory, it could take any shape,” Leisk also seemed surprised, “But if it can’t move, how does it turn people into parasitic species?”
Evil God? Parasitic species?
What are these people talking about? Pedro wanted to ask, but after a glance at Anthony, he ultimately shut his mouth.
“Go find a way to connect to the outside, a satellite phone or a radio transceiver will do,” Chaoyang told Ailuodi.
“I’ll check the control room,” Angel turned to the others, “Don’t touch it yet.”
The control room was next to the laboratory, separated only by a pane of protective glass. Ailuodi couldn’t be bothered to look for a new entrance and simply shattered the glass with the Gale Sword before jumping into the control room.
She quickly found an internal phone.
Not only that, but the quick-dial buttons on the phone were marked with transfer numbers, and the 090 key could directly switch to international long-distance calls. Ailuodi tried dialing the mobile number specifically configured for Chaoyang and soon heard his voice through the receiver.
“Good job, I’m connected,” he said.
Although the signal went through multiple transfers and was protected by virtual numbers and firewalls, these measures were merely a slight detour for Chaoyang. After infiltrating the control room, he immediately gained full access to the main laboratory; the alarm for the airtight malfunction subsided.
Chaoyang quickly realized there was a large amount of blank space in the data system. This wasn’t because there were barriers on the access paths but rather a physical blank—the hard drives storing the experimental data had been taken.
He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and copied all remaining files into his laptop.
One of the files, named “Experimental Operation Manual,” caught his attention.
After a quick scan, Chaoyang basically understood how those parasitic species were cultivated.
“So that’s how it is… The researchers here discovered that the source of the Evil God emits a special band of light radiation after absorbing energy. The organisms exposed to it would generate a new substance they named Alpha. When these substances aggregate, they turn into black cloth strips,” he summarized briefly, “They also found that exposed people in a dormant state reduce the activity of Alpha, so it’s necessary to inject them with anesthetic agents in advance to put the subjects into a deep sleep, and the Alpha mutates more actively seek targets carrying energy…”
“So the targets carrying energy, could it mean… Angel?” Ailuodi was shocked.
“Perhaps Demons carry it too, only they couldn’t find any living Demons,” Chaoyang muttered to himself, finally understanding why Tiffany had been kidnapped here and tortured.
“What they did to Tiffany was fundamentally forcing her to use her abilities, thereby releasing energy. An archive once recorded details about the experimenters, and although the content was taken, the revised records suggest there might have been as many as two thousand victims, of which only five could provide energy. The last file was created in October 2022,” he detailed.
Ailuodi clenched her fists in anger, “…Tiffany went missing around that time as well.”
“Whoever is behind Corona Company, we will find them, but our immediate priority is to deal with the source of the Evil God,” Chaoyang reassured.
Angel took a deep breath, “You’re right… No matter how they obtained this thing, we should destroy it. Do the files left behind mention anything about its origin?”
Chaoyang closed his eyes and searched again before shaking his head, “I can’t find it. Probably this information is as important as the experimental data; they haven’t left any clues.”
Just then, an alarmed cry from Cui Zhen’en suddenly came from outside the window, “Not good, look—It’s beating faster and faster!”
“Damn it, Miss Ailuodi, can you do something? Like inject it with some sedative or something?” Anthony also started shouting.
“Chaoyang?”
“No use, most of the tubes are connected to sensors, and I haven’t found any options related to sedatives.” Chaoyang was somewhat surprised too; from the design of the entire device, it seemed like it hadn’t considered the possibility of preventing the “stone” from coming to life.
“Keep looking!” Ailuodi flipped over the windowsill and ran back in front of the glass column.
She found that the others were right, the rhythmic pulsation was becoming more and more pronounced, and more and more intense. With the naked eye one could see the distortion had expanded to the base of the jar, while the surface of the stone bore many cracks, with red liquid seeping out from the inside as if something was about to break free from its restraints.
And her arrival seemed to intensify this change; if this pulsation was seen as a heartbeat, then its frequency was now comparable to that of running!
Thump, thump, thump—
No one knew whether the urgent beating echoing in their ears originated from the essence of the Evil God or from their own hearts pounding wildly.
“Prepare for a fight!” Zhang Zhiyuan racked his gun!
Ailuodi gathered up a whirlwind in the palm of her hand too!
“Who has an extra gun? Give me one, I can fight too!” Pedro shouted.
Right at that moment, the glass column suddenly shattered, with culture fluid splashing everywhere! Everyone saw clearly that the cracks in the “stone” were now completely connected, then they expanded into an intricate network of wounds. The red viscous liquid spilled out like blood, a sight that reminded Ailuodi and Cui Zhen’en of the crimson crescent that tore the sky and the blood waterfall cascading from the bottom of the mine.
After more than ten seconds, the “stone” appeared to have drained all its blood and fell with a plop into the luminous water of the glass column.
The group dared not even breathe heavily, their guns firmly trained on the origin of the Evil God, ready to fire without hesitation at anything that might crawl out.
But after a full half minute, nothing happened.
Anthony hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward, poking the shriveled core of the Evil God with his gun barrel—that’s when they realized the “stone” was extremely soft. Its texture and color resembled a rock, but it felt more like a piece of orange peel covered in ridges. The Russian drew his dagger and prised open the top, only to find the inside completely empty.
“The blood!” Leisk suddenly realized, “The blood that flowed out is the real entity!”
Before his words even finished, the same voice echoed in everyone’s minds. The speaker was not Chaoyang, but an unheard voice, somewhat childlike and yet somewhat muddied, “I’ve finally broken free! Well done, my children! Be it the Rot God or Chenxing, neither can bind me forever!”
Ailuodi involuntarily tilted her head back.

She saw a red mist converging above the laboratory, resembling a swirling vortex, or slowly unfolding nebulae. Through the mist, she seemed to glimpse an endlessly distant future, as if peering into the origin of all things. The sensation was indescribable, for its vastness exceeded the limits that words could convey.
Then it dropped, hitting the ground and bouncing twice, looking like a blob of moving transparent jelly, or rather… Slime.
