Chapter 111: Chapter 111

The nutrient meat soup flowing from the factory mostly gets channeled here via the underground river, forming mud ponds between deep pits, which provide essential nutrients to the tree walls, accelerating the expansion of the entire forest.

Yi Chen decided to take a short rest here for some self-repair.

The incident was far from over; he would face the even more terrifying and unknown Church.

During the rest period, he needed to consider two things:

1. Reconnecting his left arm, which had been smashed by the Village Chief,

2. Considering the issue with the heart,

Little Grape had been bearing the function of the heart, which was not only tiring for it but also resulted in the loss of a very important “Visual Enhancement.”

Unless he cut open his right chest like he did against the Nag, exposing the heart might allow him to maintain vision.

A deep grey blood began to spread throughout the body from the chest down along the roots.

With it came an agonizing pain,

like steel spikes flowing through the blood vessels, piercing every area the blood passed through.

Veins as tough as steel cables protruded from every part of the body, even gradually losing control over the physique, the entire body began to harden, and breathing became obstructed.

When this grey blood flowed into the brain, it also brought the consciousness of the Village Chief, trying to invade the consciousness of Yi Chen.

However, it wasn’t dangerous.

The defeated Village Chief, having lost his will and hope, brought a very weak consciousness that couldn’t shake Yi Chen’s dominant position.

the grape slowly opened its mouth, and on the level of consciousness, a mouth as deep as an abyss appeared, swallowing the Village Chief’s residual consciousness within the Pathogen Core.

“Village Chief’s consciousness has been erased, now it’s your turn~ William.”

As the grape’s voice came through, Yi Chen started to fight against the ‘hardened blood’ that was spreading throughout his body, using physical control techniques he had learned from Zede.

His thoughts returned to that half-year of agonizing special training.

About the third month into the special training, there was a major accident,

Yi Chen got stuck in the waist and abdomen while using a device called the “Happy Roulette,” causing multiple internal organs to rip, leaving him at death’s door.

Zede moved him to the surgery room at the fastest speed,

considering he might die at any moment, the only option was to forcefully replace Yi Chen’s organs with those from a living corpse.

Although the organs taken from living corpses were perfectly integrated by Zede’s skilled medical techniques and functioned normally,

Yi Chen, who was pulled back from the border of Hell, instantly felt a sense of strangeness and rejection from his body as soon as he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, clearly sensing that the organs inside him were not his own.

Cold, foreign, and even bereft of life, filled with the essence of death.

Every time these organs functioned, they brought about continuous intense pain and even bruises on the skin’s surface.

Zede, however, comforted him with a relaxed face, gently touching Yi Chen’s body.

“Relax! Although these are ‘their’ things, you can still use them, after all, we are all classified as ‘humans’.

As a human, one has to be open-minded and learn to accept new things.

Consider our physique like a little miss who always has some sort of mental cleanliness obsession.

But she can’t always wear her own clothes, for example, if she’s stripped of her clothes on the street, it’s necessary to immediately snatch someone else’s clothes to wear.

If the little miss strongly resists wearing someone else’s clothes, then as the master, we must properly train her.”

After lying on the surgery table for half an hour, enduring the physical pain, Yi Chen, on the verge of losing consciousness, actually felt the body’s rejection slowly fade away, and those organs from the living corpses were transformed into his own.

An entire hour passed by,

The steel-like veins that covered the body were gradually suppressed,

Unlike the situation in Zede’s surgery room, Yi Chen didn’t choose to ‘wear someone else’s clothes,’ but rather remade someone else’s clothes into his own.

The Village Chief’s heart had been completely absorbed by the plants, replaced by a temporary heart woven from plants.
