Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628
1628: Chapter 1624: Awakening 1628: Chapter 1624: Awakening Disasters always come silently.
When malevolence began to spread, Death eroded the entire world, and only then did mortals realize the beauty of their past lives.
“…I, simply gave them Blessings.”
On this day, Calamity and Blessing descended together.
But what’s strange is that the first victims engraved in history felt nothing at all.
They, these Fishmen who were the starting point for the Extraordinary and the high levels of the invaders, just passed the summer days in their usual boredom…
They simultaneously ignored the Mutations occurring on their bodies.
“…I feel a bit, suffocated.”
A weaker Big Fishman felt inexplicably unable to breathe, but even with its face swollen red, it still ignored the four arms grasping its mouth and nose…
all of which were part of its own body, and two of them were its normal limbs.
The peculiar Extraordinary disease later termed “Awakening Disease” made its first historical appearance, creating scenes akin to horror films.
Everyone was laughing, eating, mocking each other, and even fighting…
The additional eyes, arms, legs, noses, and mouths on their bodies, however, raised no alarm, as if it were natural, as if they were naturally such deformed beings.
“…Am I the one that’s crazy?”
No, there was only one person, a lucky one…
or perhaps an unfortunate one, who noticed something was amiss.
She looked on in horror at everything before her, the “Princess Yizi” who was crawling out of her own body, that face she once called her own was now cursing and biting her.
“Traitor of humanity…”
The painful Laments and Curses, sounds too familiar to forget, that was herself, that was her once human self.
She felt suffocated, felt the agony of being choked…
but the next moment, she was somewhat surprised.
She actively resisted, easily blocking the arm that was strangling her, and due to excessive force, she even snapped off two arms.
But the scream came out from two mouths simultaneously.
Both “Princess Yizi” suffered the pain of having their arms torn off at the same time.
“Look, that idiot has finally gone mad!”
“She’s actually tearing her own arms off!!”
does she want to die?
Those monsters covered in eyes and mouths actually looked at her as if she were a fool…
At that moment, Yizi truly wondered if she was trapped in a nightmare, if everything before her was just a hallucination.
Heh, earlier than expected.”
Perhaps, that’s the most appropriate explanation.
Betraying her kin, betraying her country, it’s normal not to accept reality and go completely insane.
In the middle of the Parliament Hall, the Joker lay on the ground, tearing at her own arms, stopping her arms from strangling herself…
The “members of parliament,” the Masters were having a good hearty laugh, they had been waiting for this scene for a long time.
And in the midst, Fishman Yizi, who was subject to her own cursing, looked at the increasingly distorted monsters, demons, and ghosts around her, unable to respond to reality.
Perhaps, it really was madness…
after all, it couldn’t be that everyone else was insane, and only she was normal.
“Tsk, there are still some that slipped through the net…
no, is it a divergence caused by the mismatch of soul and flesh?
The human half, indeed, couldn’t possibly strangle the flesh of a Fishman.”
And amidst the shadows, the “puppet master” watched his own “masterpiece” with great interest.
Yizi wasn’t insane; to put it accurately, only she wasn’t insane…
or to phrase it even more accurately, she was the only one who refused Lu Ping’an’s “Blessing.”
More and more Life forms began to mutate, becoming hungrier and more belligerent, the new limbs and flesh naturally requiring vast amounts of nutrition.
It came naturally to them to begin feeding…
but more food carts only brought more “Blessings.”
Yes, Blessings, as confirmed by Lu Ping’an, stemming from his own.
[The Other Me (Unknown Tier of Divine Blessing): The new you, awakening from your own flesh…]
Lu Ping’an held his notes, taking an interested record of everything happening at the moment, watching the sole knower, that one who used to be a Mortal Princess, rolling on the ground fighting with herself.
As a researcher, as a Creator, he was pleased…
the very first experiment found a special case; look at the others, joyfully enjoying the new flesh, the delight in coexisting with another Self, never to be lonely again…
the first-tier infected didn’t show any discomfort; on the contrary, they generally fell into an abnormally spirited state, both physical and Spiritual Power at the peaks of their lives…”
In future pathological studies, Dr.
Lu, as the first to discover “Awakening Disease,” left precious “pathological records.”
“Awakening Disease is not an ailment, quite the opposite, it is a benign state; it is said that due to its beneficial nature, Life forms instinctively ignored the mutation…
Another theory is that by that time, the Self had already fused with the Newborn, it wouldn’t naturally find its own occurrence strange; they subconsciously rejected the ‘change’.”
Let alone future studies, the present special case drew Lu Ping’an’s attention.
If Yizi’s body was that of a Fishman and her Soul remained human…
then, should the Blessing stemming from the Newborn be effective on the soul?
So the spiritualized human Self was quickly discovered by the entity, and due to being weaker than the Fishman’s physical strength, there was no chance to resist?
The self-struggle continued amid the Fishman’s spectatorship, and the “insane Princess” had lost her last bits of dignity and decorum.
She ranted and cursed…
“You all are insane!”
“I’m fine, you are the sick ones.”
See, if she weren’t terribly ill or mad to the core, how could she spout such nonsense.
But no matter what she said, she remained just a Joker…
some were annoyed by her madness, intending to slap her to death, but for some reason, suddenly felt tired and fell asleep heavily.
And in a corner, Lu Ping’an, who had saved the other’s life, was just patiently waiting, waiting for the second-tier of the disease.
“Tsk, such a precious comparative sample cannot be wasted so easily.”
At this moment, the Awakening Disease, later termed the “Calamity of the Octopus,” was gradually evolving its true essence.
The starving Fishman Leaders ate up everything in sight and grew even more mouths and flesh…
They longed for more, pushing their servants to bring more food.
hunger is the first sign, is it the nutrients needed for the growth of the flesh?
Or is it the inevitable result of the double consumption after having two Selves?”
Lu Ping’an quietly recorded…
He watched those impatient mutated leaders slap to death the ordinary soldiers who were completely unaware of what was happening, urging these “mad-disease-infected” little Fishmen to bring over more food.
in the first tier, those who are not infected can directly detect mutation, but the patients themselves subconsciously refuse to acknowledge their illness.
At this time, could killing all those infected halt its spread…?”
Lu Ping’an took an interested record, documenting the source of the mutation that was expanding throughout the Island Country.
