Awakening Disease, clearly a kind of "compounding" disaster that escalates in value, or in other words, life accumulating life, just like the World’s Reason of Lu Ping’an himself.
And its biggest weakness is glaringly obvious... In the initial stages, it can be completely strangled, as long as enough Strongmen carry out a wide-scale extinction of life, then everything will suddenly stop.
After that, with precautions in place, such as video recording equipment circumventing the subconscious block, and timely execution of all mutants, this disaster can become utterly meaningless.
"....But if I had given it enough wealth from the start, Your Excellency, how would you deal with it."
Theoretically, Newborn Awakening Diseases cannot erode eighth-tier beings, but if an eighth-tier being voluntarily lets down their guard, allowing the erosion and even actively fuses to become a mother, what then?
"....What a big fish!!"
"It looks delicious, can it be cooked and eaten?"
"Perfect, I have some blaze..."
That monster casually evolved three heads, instantly becoming schizophrenic, and at least two of the voices and speaking styles belong to Lu Ping’an himself.
If it were merely an extraordinary monster in strength, even a genuine high-tier life form would not be considered a disaster.
The problem is that it’s Lu Ping’an’s Awakening Disease body... That is, it has at least copied a Virtual Persona of Lu Ping’an, whether it be combat experience or combat skills, all have been replicated to some extent.
Then, taking the existence that uses those thousands of Life Points as a culture medium as the starting point, it can be seen as an Extraordinary combat power starting from the eighth-tier.
Of course, without the real body’s external belongings... yet, when Lu Ping’an transforms into a Legion, that’s when his combat power is at its peak.
From the "Lu Ping’an" infected body, countless bizarre lifeforms fell, mostly constructed like Fishmen..... Only the body structure is similar, the main components are still Tentacles and limbs aggregated, like nightmare-born bionic tentacle men.
This "Lu Ping’an" does not have a Courtyard, so there is no Legion that belongs to him, but shaping fodder using shared Life Force is just instinct to him.....
The Legion that walked out of the nightmare is actually ablaze with black flames.
The black King returns from the nightmare, the Burning Legion appeared on this planet in this manner...
"Ugh, hope it’s not going too far."
As an Observer, Lu Ping’an himself is somewhat bewildered, seemingly underestimating his own War potential.
If the Dark Fire spreads in this world, it probably won’t be much worse than the Awakening Disease, and when the two combine....
And Lu Ping’an’s concerns are still too naive; the moment that mutated Lu Ping’an got his hands on the Legion, he turned them into bombs without hesitation.
The Life’s Black Water turned into blaze and explosions, bringing more destruction while also activating "Lu Ping’an’s" War Game.
One by one, halos appeared on the ground, and individuals who successfully killed enemies gained "Experience," directly receiving Black Flame Armor, weapons, Abnormal Ability, achieving an Upgrade on the battlefield.
But shouldn’t those self-destructing entities who gained experience be thoroughly dead?
The next moment, those standing twisted monsters are the answer... As long as the Sea of Life is not exhausted, they are beings of Infinite reconstitution, the Undying-nature of Lu Ping’an’s ability combined with the high-level life series Trait, constructing an Undead Legion.
"Tsk, isn’t this cheating?"
Lu Ping’an was surprised himself, and he also felt some admiration for that Conductor’s battlefield command... It immediately thought of combining "Undying-nature," "Corpse Explosion," and "Kill to Upgrade Life" stacking together. Instead of killing slowly, it would be better to directly transform its Legion into an Undying exploding Legion.
As long as the Life Energy and Life-points gained from killing exceeded the consumption, theoretically, this is an infinite cycle...
"...It seems, I’ve released a monster."
Lu Ping’an subconsciously touched the Life Encyclopedia, where the "mother" existed.
Lu Ping’an could not control the pathogen of the Awakening Disease... but since it was created through the Life Encyclopedia, he could choose to erase it.
Of course, this ability was not very reliable... Viruses and Parasites are Masters of mutation, and after a few mutations, they might directly break free from the connection, and this risk of losing control always existed.
By the time that happened, even if Lu Ping’an eliminated the mother and cut off their source, he could probably only weaken, not completely kill them.
But for now, Lu Ping’an still had the ability to end it all.
Yet in the end, he shook his head.
It’s still too soon to consider these things, let’s focus on winning the battle first.
Lu Ping’an also didn’t think that being could retain his persona for much longer... Regardless of the Awakened undergoing Fusion, thoughts and Memories blending with each other, it was inevitably destined to fall into Chaos and madness.
But it now appears that his "contribution" could indeed cause tremendous harm.
A part of the "Black Legion" began to scatter in all directions, they did not have the concepts of fear and survival... Continuously spreading the Awakening Disease and their "self" within the Spiritual Network were their instincts.
The heavily damaged Fishmen did not intercept either, they had to deal with the trouble at hand first.
Continuing to observe the battle, he looked at the "Lu Ping’an" who was going mad... Although his trump cards were limited, unable to replicate his own Life investment, he could only use his Career Abilities, yet he still exerted a terrifying effect.
The current Lu Ping’an was known not for the strength of the individual but for the ability combination, even just those high-level professions, coupled with a continuously reorganizing Legion, was already astonishing.
At least, Lu Ping’an himself could not see when it would end.
"Let’s go, it’s about time..."
Looking at the twisted Lu Ping’an who was mad enough to clash with the Quasi-God, Lu Ping’an, who was smiling, decided to leave.
He had already sensed it, the seeds of the Awakening Disease had been spread by the "Deserters", and he feared this matter would be endless for the time being.
The only thing that could slightly reassure him was that this virus was still targeting the Octopus Race... And Lu Ping’an had proved with himself that this lock was not secure.
He shook his head and took one last look at the monster brawl not far away, then stepped into the shadows.
The trait of the life system is that it can’t be finished in the short term, when I return home, I could probably still watch the live broadcast... At least all the parties involved must have prepared the recordings.
The only troublesome thing for him was that this time around it would probably expose a lot of the composition of his Professions and his trump cards, but thinking about how his own growth path is nearly transparent, and indeed he now needs more prestige, this could also be a good thing.
"Just this small price, to take away so many Fishmen, and even involve and consume a Quasi-God... I hope this good fortune continues. Mmm, good luck, this disaster of a disease, should have nothing to do with me..."
Lu Ping’an somewhat understood why Lord Xiuyi and Lin Nu’s Church acted the way they did. If you do just a little bit with the life system, you’d be blamed for too much, hard to shoulder.
Better still, everyone knows you did it, but you steadfastly deny it, then, as beneficiaries, the Eastern Country and the Eastern Country Official might pretend not to know who did it, maybe they’ll even quietly give you some policies, benefits support, a roundabout reward.
And the development of the situation soon proved Lu Ping’an’s conjecture.
Because this "Lu Ping’an" was a sufficiently nourishing culture medium, the Awakening Disease not only spread successfully, becoming a nightmare for the Fishmen, and greatly hindered the Legion from continuing to attack the mainlands of the Eastern Country in the short term... it was also never contained long term, destined to trouble the Multi-universe and the Octopus Race indefinitely.
