    Chapter 191

    Su Hao had already noticed that every Mutant in Linyuan City was dead.

    Even the Origin King, whose sinister presence had lingered over the city until recently, had completely vanished.

    Not a single trace of his Blood Essence remained.

    Su Hao couldn't help but marvel.

    "So he even managed to kill the Origin King... This Fiend Lu is certainly capable."


    ---

    Su Hao had long since deciphered the Origin King's ability.

    The Origin King could completely separate his own cells, dispersing them among countless living beings.

    He nourished himself through those hosts, gradually growing stronger.

    At any moment, he could remotely control those he had parasitized...

    Or simply devour them from within, turning them into his puppets.

    Most hosts never even realized they had been infected.

    By the time the Origin King revealed himself...

    It was already too late.


    ---

    In a sense...

    Every parasitized body was the Origin King.

    As long as even one surviving host remained, he would never truly die.

    Even Su Hao would have found it difficult to eliminate every one of those hidden avatars without alerting him.


    ---

    After a moment's thought, Su Hao decided against entering the city.

    At least, not yet.

    This city had become a graveyard for Mutants.

    More importantly...

    It was unknown.

    And unknown dangers were always the most terrifying.

    Until he understood exactly how Fiend Lu had exterminated every Mutant inside...

    He had no intention of entering the city or confronting him directly.


    ---

    "I'll retrieve a few corpses using Transformed Diamond Armor first."

    "Once I determine the cause of death..."

    "Then I'll decide my next move."


    ---

    With that thought, Su Hao extended his Blood Essence and cells deep underground.

    They transformed into Transformed Diamond Armor, silently spreading beneath the city.


    ---

    His Radar Perception could only detect living creatures.

    It couldn't locate corpses.

    Fortunately...

    That wasn't a problem.


    ---

    Using the principle of reflected light, Su Hao created countless tiny mirrors beneath the ground.

    Through those mirrors...

    He could observe different parts of the city without exposing himself.

    Their field of view wasn't particularly large.

    But finding a few bodies was more than enough.


    ---

    Soon...

    He found one.

    A person lay peacefully in bed.

    From a distance...

    He appeared to be asleep.

    Only the absence of breathing...

    And the purplish-black tint covering his face...

    Revealed that he was already dead.


    ---

    The Transformed Diamond Armor silently spread over the corpse.

    Wrapped it completely.

    Then dragged it beneath the earth without disturbing anything on the surface.


    ---

    One after another...

    Su Hao retrieved five corpses.

    He placed them neatly before him and carefully examined each one.


    ---

    There were no wounds.

    No signs of struggle.

    No expressions of fear.

    It looked as though they had all peacefully fallen asleep...

    Never to awaken again.


    ---

    Instead of dissecting them immediately...

    Su Hao carried the five corpses toward a nearby rocky hillside.


    ---

    Stopping before a cliff face...

    He placed one hand against the stone.

    "One Room, One Hall Technique."


    ---

    The solid rock quietly opened.

    A hidden chamber rapidly formed within the mountain.

    Only a tiny ventilation hole remained connected to the outside.


    ---

    Su Hao had always preferred conducting research inside laboratories.

    Peaceful.

    Quiet.

    Undisturbed.


    ---

    As for Fiend Lu...

    Based on his current speed, Su Hao estimated it would take him at least half a day to leave the range of Radar Perception.

    There was no need to rush.


    ---

    A pair of crystal scalpels formed in Su Hao's hands.

    He looked at the nearest corpse.

    "Let's see..."

    "...how you died."


    ---

    ...


    ---

    One hour later...

    Su Hao emerged from Marble Space...

    Then suddenly laughed.

    He had figured it out.


    ---

    And the answer...

    Was terrifying.


    ---

    If he had entered Linyuan City carelessly...

    Even he might have died.


    ---

    His dissections revealed that every organ remained perfectly intact.

    Muscles.

    Bones.

    Blood vessels.

    Everything appeared completely normal.


    ---

    But when he observed the corpses at the cellular level...

    He discovered something horrifying.


    ---

    Every strand of DNA had completely collapsed into chaos.

    Every cell had lost all vitality.

    Without exception.


    ---

    In other words...

    Even if someone consumed these corpses...

    They would gain absolutely nothing.

    Their Extraordinary Genes had already been completely destroyed at the root.


    ---

    "Incredible..."

    Su Hao couldn't help murmuring.

    "A microscopic attack..."

    "Who could possibly defend against something like this?"


    ---

    According to his deductions...

    Fiend Lu had most likely released an invisible, odorless substance during the night.

    It silently spread throughout the city.

    Every Mutant who inhaled it...

    Died without realizing anything.


    ---

    For now...

    Su Hao designated this mysterious substance:

    Gene Toxin-1.


    ---

    Its infiltration was completely silent.

    Even Mutants with exceptionally keen senses...

    Would only notice something was wrong after it had already entered their bodies.

    By then...

    It was far too late.


    ---

    Even more astonishing...

    Gene Toxin-1 specifically targeted Mutants.

    Ordinary humans remained completely unaffected.


    ---

    It was almost as though...

    The toxin could accurately recognize Extraordinary Genes.

    Just as Su Hao used Cas9 to precisely edit genetic sequences...

    Gene Toxin-1 seemed capable of locating Mutant genes...

    Then selectively destroying them.


    ---

    Perhaps...

    Even Fiend Lu himself didn't understand the underlying principles.

    Yet instinctively...

    He could wield such an ability.


    ---

    Far from underestimating his opponent...

    Su Hao became even more vigilant.


    ---

    Because another thought occurred to him.


    ---

    In Su Hao's opinion...

    Fiend Lu was far more dangerous than he initially appeared.

    For Gene Toxin-1 to accurately identify every Mutant...

    He must have studied Mutants from every evolutionary sequence...

    At every stage of evolution...

    Accumulating enormous amounts of information before finally creating such a weapon.


    ---

    That line of thought reminded Su Hao of someone else.


    ---

    Gaili.


    ---

    More precisely...

    Gaili's identity as a member of the Prophetic Folk Sequence.


    ---

    Back then...

    Gaili had claimed his abilities consisted only of Acquisition and Analysis.

    Yet through later research...

    Su Hao discovered those abilities also included:

    Recording.

    Simulation.


    ---

    The Prophetic Folk Sequence possessed astonishing analytical capabilities.


    ---

    More importantly...

    Their abilities did not conflict with the other evolutionary sequences.

    That meant...

    Fiend Lu might not only belong to the Residual Poison Folk Sequence...

    He might also possess the abilities of the Prophetic Folk Sequence.


    ---

    Only someone with such extraordinary analytical talent could possibly develop a poison capable of targeting Mutant genes with such precision.


    ---

    Whenever facing an unknown enemy...

    Su Hao always assumed the worst.

    He preferred imagining his opponent as stronger than they actually were.

    Overestimating an enemy was far safer than underestimating one.


    ---

    Even so...

    Su Hao remained confident.

    No matter how powerful Fiend Lu might be...

    He could still win.


    ---

    Especially now.

    Su Hao already knew how Fiend Lu killed Mutants.

    Meanwhile...

    Fiend Lu knew absolutely nothing about him.


    ---

    The initiative...

    Belonged to Su Hao.


    ---

    Leaving the laboratory...

    Su Hao sealed the hidden chamber with a wave of his hand, burying both the cave and the five corpses beneath solid rock.

    Then he slowly began walking toward Fiend Lu.


    ---

    Now...

    Only one question remained.


    ---

    Knowing Fiend Lu's abilities...

    How should he kill him?


    ---

    It had to be a single decisive strike.

    One chance.

    One kill.


    ---

    If the attack failed...

    The situation would immediately become dangerous.

    After all...

    Su Hao still had no idea whether Fiend Lu possessed any other hidden abilities.

    And a single unknown trump card...

    Could very well cost him his life.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Fiend Lu continued walking leisurely down the road.

    His cold, emotionless eyes occasionally revealed a rare trace of anticipation.


    ---

    Every time he remembered the textile machine he had seen in Anliang City...

    His heart couldn't help but stir.


    ---

    He softly sighed.

    "Temple Forest City..."

    "I wonder who created such an exquisite machine."

    "I truly look forward to meeting its creator."


    ---

    The possibility that its inventor might be a Mutant...

    Never once crossed his mind.


    ---

    Whenever he thought of Mutants...

    Only one image came to mind.

    Food.

    Nothing more.


    ---

    His prejudice against Mutants had long since become absolute.

    And...

    Anyone who disagreed with him...

    Was already dead.
