Chapter 123: Vol2 Ch21: The path

〖 After everything, it is still necessary to break through my own limitations 〗Negary frowned . Because he didn’t have a True Spirit and was unwilling to possess one, he was currently unable to improve the quality of his soul .

He currently had over 100 crows all over the 6th domain that acted as a form of personal security, held a form of essential technology in his possession, and had risen to become an upstart member of the upper society in record time, but if this continued the way it did, he would eventually integrate into this society and become a part of it, falling under the domination of this life .

Simply put, he didn’t have the right to act as he pleased by just relying on these factors .

〖 The only right way to do this is to strengthen myself 〗

〖 My path right now is still reliant on the sustenance and support of others 〗Negary narrowed his eyes . If he had people who had achieved the second stage of release to sustain him, his soul would naturally be able to grow .

However, could someone who had achieved the second stage of release actually fall completely under his control? Negary wouldn’t underestimate anybody who managed to achieve the second stage of release .

If he really tried to find and capture someone at the second stage of release right now, it was likely that their will would contaminate him and turn him into their pet instead of the other way around .

〖 Unless the person at the second stage of release is walking the same path that I am 〗Negary recalled the novels that he had once read, the majority of which had something called a ‘cultivation scripture’ .

But in both the worlds that Negary had been in, there wasn’t actually anything that could actually be called a ‘scripture’ .

In this Disaster world, supernatural power came from disasters, the emergence of an Authority wasn’t achieved through cultivation, but rather from pure luck .

In the Flame world, if he really stretched the meaning, there were 2 things that could be considered a cultivation method .

One of them was the [Respiratory Art], but the essence of the [Respiratory Art] was to simply perceive the frequency of the Flame world’s first flame and harmonize with it . Strictly speaking, it was nothing but a highly applicable trick . Outside of the Flame world, it would lose most of its supernatural abilities and the most it could do was allow the practitioner to have a sharper sense of perception .

The other one was the Witchcraft cultivation method that Granny Seal’e provided him . This method’s essence was the stimulation of one’s [Origin] through various means, allowing it to gradually awaken and become released, but this was also useless to Negary .

〖 If there are no paths, then I will create a path for myself 〗Negary already had a rudimentary model in his mind, but it still needed to be pondered on a bit more carefully .

“Mister Wang Yuan, it is great to see you . I still have to thank you for your treatment” as Negary got off his car, a middle-aged man walked up and extended his hand: “My name is Liang Liang”

Through his connection with the germs, Negary found that the [Black Crow] germs had already spread through this man’s entire body, and from the concentration of the [Black Crow] germs, Negary was able to roughly estimate his age .

Obviously, this was one of the people who had their lifespans extended by Negary . About a week ago, this man was probably on his deathbed in a hospital somewhere, but Negary’s ‘life extension serum’, which was actually just [Black Crow] germs, managed to revitalize .

〖 It’s my honour 〗Negary kept up his smile .

“I’ve set up a banquet to welcome Mister Wang Yuan after your long journey” Liang Liang said with a smile: “Mister Wang, you truly must join this one for a couple of drinks”

Negary squinted his eyes . This kind of social interaction was essentially unavoidable in modern society . If Negary truly yearned for such social rules, he might be able to take advantage of it and prosper at a rapid rate . But for Negary, such things were essentially useless and a waste of time .

After resonating his willpower with the [Black Crow] germs within the other party’s body, Negary patted Liang Liang’s shoulder twice and replied: 〖 I’m not going, you guys have fun 〗

“Ah, I understand” Liang Liang nodded, turned around, and left .

〖 Let’s go to the lab first and release our first product . This will help us ease up the current situation 〗Negary’s company was still relatively new, he barely had enough office workers to count on one hand and a few more scientific researchers .

During his time in prison, Negary provided a certain amount of [Black Crow] germs in exchange for certain benefits . The company’s venue, lab equipment, and funding were all provided through this method .

If you asked Negary which of his products he understood best, it would naturally be the [Black Crow] germs . By implanting them in various places in one’s body, they could replace any diseased or exhausted organs, exert superhuman levels of powers, and even extend one’s lifespan if it was spread to one’s entire body .

The first two effects could be sustained normally, but to extend one’s lifespan, they must use the [Black Crow] germs to absorb the vitality of others . The germs must turn into tentacles, pierce into the body of others and consume their flesh and blood to function .

Even though Liang Liang seemed to be only middle-aged, he was actually 70 years old . With the absorption efficiency of the [Black Crow] germs in mind, he had reverted a total of 30 years and 5 months, which equated to absorbing the life of around 30 young adults at the prime of their lives . If he did it in the ‘peaceful’ way that didn’t permanently harm their bodies, this estimated number would triple .

Negary had only provided the [Black Crow] serum just over a week ago, which meant that man just now consumed the lives of at least 30 people in a mere 7 days .

Regardless of whether or not the upper class of the government were willing to utilize this kind of ‘cannibalism’, they would definitely not agree for it to spread into society .

But what truly surprised Negary was that they did not restrict Negary from spreading his germs like he expected them to . After all, the more he spread his germs, the greater his Disasforce grade would become, and more people would be working for Negary .

In fact, there should already be a theory that anyone infected by Negary’s germs would fall under his control .

And yet, instead of restricting Negary from spreading his germs, those people even suggested that as long as the germs weren’t too harmful, he could even sell them as products .

This gave Negary a feeling that they were looking forward to Negary’s growth, perhaps even urging him to grow as fast as he could .

〖 Then the first product shall be this one 〗Negary didn’t put too much attention on the company . He had no need for excessive wealth, the only reason why he even established this company in the first place was to make it convenient and justified for him to spread the germs, at the same time providing an adequate environment to research more germs and viruses .

Besides the side effect of increasing the rate of metabolism within the infected, the [Diffuse] germs were perfectly harmless to the body, so after Negary adjusted their characteristics slightly, he released it as a product .

Taking advantage of its only side effect, the germs were marketed as a fitness medicine . By injecting the [Diffuse] germs into one’s body, their fat and daily calorie intake would be consumed at an accelerated rate, leading to them slimming down after a bit of time . Furthermore, they wouldn’t grow fat again no matter how much they ate . It was essentially the miracle drug that fat people had always dreamt of .

After the drug was sent in for testing, it was easily allowed to circulate without any hindrance . Negary found the government and the D . E . R division’s attitude towards him to be even more bizarre .

Regardless, since it wasn’t blocked or restricted, this germ medicine quickly spread . Although it wasn’t quite the same as before where his germs completely filled an entire region, it was still enough to bring Negary plenty of information and created him an intelligence network .

〖 Now, I can research my path with peace of mind 〗sensing his ever-increasing Disasforce, Negary calmed his mind and started to complete his idea .
