"Just a spatial jump? And here I was, thinking you were so capable."
Qi Suian watched as the special zombie took heavy damage from a failed spatial jump. He easily caught up to it.
Profound energy was perfect for disrupting the structure of spatial transmissions. Paired with a more powerful AI brain and his Floating Cannons, it was naturally much easier than when he faced Chunyu Bao.
However, in terms of ability quality and level of mastery, the special zombie was far stronger than Chunyu Bao.
After all, as long as the special zombie had the Spirit to expend and a strong enough physique, it could use spatial jumps without limit.
The ability originally belonged to the zombie. What one obtained through Immortal Surgery was a lesser version—not only was its power weaker, but its potential for growth and its upper limits were inferior as well.
As for Qi Suian, if one had to classify him, he was also a type of zombie, albeit a slightly different one. It was only with the help of the Profound Virus that he had obtained the complete ability.
"Sp... spare me..." the special zombie stammered, "I can be your servant."
Qi Suian didn’t respond. Without hesitation, he enveloped the special zombie in the Divine Purification Force Field.
It had to be said, the creature truly was special. Faced with the Divine Purification Force Field, it wasn’t instantly vaporized but instead crumbled away bit by bit.
The entire process lasted nearly ten seconds before it finally dissipated completely.
But after it dissipated, it began to coalesce again, similar to Qi Suian’s ’Death Reforging.’ The only difference was that it wasn’t re-forming from black particles, but from crimson granules of flesh and blood.
Before the special zombie could even fully form, its resurrection process was being worn down by the Divine Purification Force Field.
Shattering and re-forming at the same time. This tug-of-war filled the air around Qi Suian with a constant swirl of vaporizing dust and reconstituting flesh.
’I thought the process would start after it revived, but I didn’t expect it to happen *during* the resurrection.’
’This way, the special zombie can’t revive even if it wants to.’
’But the problem is, in this state, how am I supposed to throw the special zombie into the Melting Furnace?’
It can be acquired in sections and burned in multiple batches.
This plan is feasible as long as the intensity of the Divine Purification Force Field is properly controlled.
I recommend you execute this plan as soon as possible. If the special zombie dies too many times, it will lead to excessive mass loss, reducing the acquired evolution energy.
According to data module projections, the special zombie cannot resurrect indefinitely within the Divine Purification Force Field. It has enough energy for at most another thousand resurrections before it will die permanently.
The Divine Purification Force Field was indeed incredibly powerful against zombies primarily composed of the Profound Virus.
If it weren’t limited to the Profound, this module would definitely be graded higher than SSS-rank.
For example, the Divine Purification Force Field was ineffective against the effects created by the Blood Moon Shadow. This was because although the Blood Moon’s light was related to the Profound God, it was not the Profound Virus, rendering the Divine Purification Force Field completely useless.
’Will that work? There’s still a zombie burning in the Melting Furnace.’ Qi Suian knew that the Melting Furnace’s efficiency was rather limited when dealing with this type of Extraordinary Life.
It was one thing to burn Tang Jingren, but adding the special zombie to the mix was truly more than it could handle.
Even if he only added a little at a time.
It can be weakened by simultaneously injecting suppression and weakening agents, and the Melting Furnace can be run on overload.
For every ten seconds that pass, you will lose one unit of resurrection energy.
When Qi Suian heard this, he agreed immediately.
"Execute immediately!"
’If the AI brain is confident, then that’s good enough. I can’t just wait for the special zombie to die on its own.’
If this dragged on, he wouldn’t get anything at all in about two and a half hours.
’Besides, if I just toss it in bit by bit, and with the weakening agents, I won’t have to worry about the special zombie fighting back.’
’As for the burning... prioritize the whole zombie. Keep the fragments of the special zombie isolated for now.’ Qi Suian knew that if Tang Jingren wasn’t converted into evolution energy first, what would happen if he suddenly snapped out of it?
He wasn’t dead yet, but he was barely hanging on.
That he could last this long was thanks to his SSS-rank Talent Virus Monarch and his S-rank ability, Energy Manipulation. Otherwise, he would already be dead.
According to estimates, it would still take about three more minutes to burn Tang Jingren to death.
But even if Qi Suian focused on him, with the way he was overdrafting himself just to survive, he could only last another two minutes.
A sliver of the special zombie’s flesh was tossed into the Melting Furnace. Without the Divine Purification Force Field to dissolve it, the flesh naturally began to regenerate.
But before it could regenerate, the Melting Furnace began to break it down and burn it.
At first, there was a bit of a back-and-forth, but the sliver of flesh was ultimately too small. It was no match for the Melting Furnace.
Soon, it was completely burned away.
The process was largely uneventful. Only as more of the special zombie’s flesh was added did the furnace’s burning efficiency begin to drop.
Containment of special zombie complete. Estimated gain: 2 armor points.
Qi Suian wasn’t surprised. Even though the AI brain had been controlling the Tai Sui God to collect the special zombie’s flesh, the Divine Purification Force Field had been continuously eroding it the entire time.
As a result, energy was lost very quickly throughout the process.
The AI brain was controlling the Divine Purification Force Field, yes, but to ensure the special zombie remained completely suppressed, it hadn’t lowered the intensity.
If the intensity were lowered, the special zombie’s regeneration speed would just increase.
’The last thing I want is to get punched by that thing.’
Both the Tai Sui God and he himself were, in essence, squishy.
’Two points is two points.’
’If I hadn’t done it this way, I wouldn’t have even gotten these two armor points.’
’Combined with the 1 armor point from burning Tang Jingren, if the armor cost for evolution hasn’t changed, I can evolve the Tai Sui God three times.’
’So I can’t be too greedy.’
’The Blood Moon Shadow’s corruption has deepened again.’
’Thankfully, I can neutralize it with the Profound Virus.’ Yu Qing’s expression was tinged with helplessness.
He was the number one survivor under the banner of the ’Doomsday Game,’ possessing the SSS-rank talent, Bloody Clan, which allowed him to gain ’Blood Power’ through slaughter.
It was a special type of energy that allowed him to strengthen his body, master Blood Techniques, control blood, and more, but his personal stats were too low to support such powerful uses.
But even so, it had granted him immense power.
With his dual stats at 1.3, he was leagues ahead of the other survivors.
He hadn’t received any attribute point rewards; he’d raised them all himself using his Master of Blood talent.
However, after the Blood Moon arrived, his own Blood Power proved to be too weak and was completely drained by the Blood Moon Shadow.
Even though they both had ’Blood’ in their names, they were completely different things. If he hadn’t found a way to neutralize the effect, he’d be dead by now.
’This is only the second phase... can anyone really survive this?’ Yu Qing didn’t know how the other survivors were faring, but judging from his own bleak situation, he figured not many would earn a ’New World Pass’ and make it to the next world.
