Chapter 166

As more and more people practiced Spiritual Inception, the method to release [Origin] through Biomass Gear had also been unknowingly spread.

At this point, some people were even actively hunting down germ creatures in order to obtain the raw materials for Biomass Gear.

This was how interesting it was to switch between hunter and prey.

Of course, there were also times when a hunter would be killed by their prey due to a lack of strength, not to mention the fact that some of the germ creatures had evolved to a ridiculous level.

Fang Ze's journey home took a lot longer than he had expected, mainly because of the various enemies that appeared on the road to stop them.

For example, there was a germ creature hiding inside a bicycle, which accidentally infiltrated the [Traffic Jam] Authority Holder Lu Tong's body through the back door, causing them to go astray. It wasn't until Fang Ze noticed that something was wrong that he managed to save him.

But at that point, they had already gone astray and had to spend quite a bit of time to return to the right path.

Or there was a germ creature that had evolved into a hypnotic voice that enveloped an entire street block. Whenever they walked on the street, they would inexplicably feel like they were walking around in circles, only after they killed that germ creature did their sense of direction return to normal.

There was even a germ creature that had disguised itself as a survivor. That germ creature took the form of a 12-13 year old girl and used their sympathy to beg them to save her so-called father, stalling them. If Xiao Ba Fu hadn't accidentally discovered that it didn't have any bones, even Fang Ze wouldn't have been able to tell that it wasn't human.

In short, these germ creatures had evolved into various abilities and used various means to stall Fang Ze's group.

Other than the germ creatures, there were also various Spiritual Inception practitioners that appeared along the way. Some of them used Biomass Gear to achieve the release of their [Origin] and obtained all sorts of strange abilities to attack Fang Ze's group. They were either people who had been bewitched by Negri, or had their thoughts controlled by Biomass Gear in order to obtain more power.

It wasn't until later on that Fang Ze defeated the Spiritual Inception practitioner and converted him into one of his own. Borrowing the other party's ability to sense germ creatures, they were able to increase their speed, otherwise, a journey that would have taken over a day would have taken at least half a month.

Even so, when Fang Ze arrived in a familiar environment, it had still taken them over a week from when they first sensed Disaster King Black Death's Disasforce fluctuations.

Sometimes, pure power couldn't solve all problems. If one couldn't make use of their own power, they would only get half the results with twice the effort.

Fang Ze was no exception. In terms of strength, he was terrifyingly powerful, perhaps even one of the most powerful beings in this world, but even with such power, he would still be stopped by some insignificant germs. This was Fang Ze's limitation.

Of course, he was also constantly growing, constantly overcoming those weaknesses, making himself stronger.

"We're finally here." Xiao Ba Fu sighed in relief. The strange abilities and monsters they encountered on the way were truly exhausting.

"En, I'm going to fight that guy soon." Chang Xia glanced at the worried Fang Ze and comforted him: "Wang Yuan will not harm He Qiao, although we don't know his goal, but he really needs these infected to become stronger"

"We can definitely defeat them and save He Qiao."

Fang Ze nodded and said, "I understand. I'm just thinking about Wang Yuan's methods and what I should do next."

"Let's stop here" At this point, a long-haired man spoke up in a dejected tone: "There's no longer anything that requires my abilities here, I … I don't dare to take another step forward"

This man was called Luke, also a cultivator of Spiritual Inception. He was wearing a Biomass Gear, and because he had formed a symbiotic relationship with the collective consciousness of the Biomass Gear, he was brainwashed by Negri and came to attack Fang Ze's group, causing them quite a bit of trouble.

In the end, he was defeated by Fang Ze, who used some sort of ability to dispel the brainwashing effects of Negri and woke up. In order to repay Fang Ze's group, he used Spiritual Inception to scout the path for Fang Ze's group, otherwise, Fang Ze's group wouldn't have arrived here so quickly.

"You don't know how I felt when I was being controlled. My morals, my goals, my dreams, all of them were twisted and turned into that person's. I could feel that at the time, I was wholeheartedly pursuing him, treating him as the meaning of my life"

"Even though I've been beaten awake by you, I still feel a deep sense of fear towards him. I'm afraid that after I see him again, I'll once again pursue him" Luke's expression was twisted, his tone was extremely fast.

His body continued to tremble, and his tone could no longer be distinguished between fear and excitement. "It's like there's another me in my body. He's constantly telling me that pursuing that person is the meaning of my life."

"It's alright, it's all in the past now" Fang Ze softly consoled him.

On one side, Xiao Ba Fu and Zhang Zi Jie's expressions were also grim. They recalled the first time they met Negri, the feeling of being completely dominated by his presence, as if he was their food.

"I wish you good luck, I hope you'll be able to defeat him" Luke spoke in a low voice. Under Fang Ze's consolation, he finally regained his spirits, but from his still gloomy expression, it was clear that he still hadn't gotten rid of the shadow that Negri had cast on him.

Luke turned around and walked away, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to repay Fang Ze's group for saving him, he would have left this place as far away as possible.

Walking along the abandoned path, he carefully looked out for any possible germ creatures around him. Although he had successfully released his [Origin], who knows what kind of germ creatures might suddenly appear to ambush and kill him.

However, his body abruptly froze as a terrifying aura enveloped him, evoking the remnants of his fear. His [Biomass Gear] continuously vibrated, sending a sound wave that normal people couldn't hear into his surroundings. As soon as it came into contact with something, it would be transmitted back to him, manifesting a 3D model of his surroundings in his mind.

This was his [Origin] ability, similar to the bat's ability, but much more powerful. He could use the biological effects of his ultrasonic waves to attack others, causing their body temperature to rapidly rise, or even cause them to explode on the spot due to the cavitation effect.

However, at this moment, he couldn't sense the enemy's existence at all, but that unforgettable feeling was still lingering in his mind.

"Come out, I won't be afraid of you, I won't submit to you again, I won't surrender myself!" Luke shouted in a frenzy, causing several objects around him to explode due to the cavitation effect.

"You shouldn't be afraid of me, because I'm the one you're pursuing" A voice slowly spoke up, causing Luke to panic. His [Biomass Gear] began to move, revealing a person of fatal charm in front of him: "Otherwise, why would you still refuse to give up on your Biomass Gear?"
