Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

At the moment when the obscure wave passes by, the crystals in the body of anyone infected with the Apocalypse Virus will instantly activate, completely swallowing the host's body, allowing the crystallization to spread throughout the body until it breaks into powder and disappears.

In the previous investigation, as long as the symptoms of crystallization appeared, it was basically regarded as hopeless. Even the most advanced panacea could only be suppressed and used to survive. It was necessary to create something that could relieve the symptoms. Just like Dionysus, in addition to having rare talents, he also has sufficient samples and time.

The fact that Finn and others showed symptoms of crystallization at such a close distance is proof that their souls and bodies are abnormal after continuous upgrading.

The spread of this wave had not stopped yet. Before Roland could attack, the purple crystal broke on its own and turned into a dazzling pillar of light. As if it had no entity, it passed through the underground layers layer by layer, as if it was about to pierce the sky.

Then, more terrifying fluctuations spread from the light pillar.

What came out of the light pillar was a muddy and monotonous singing voice.

"aaa——aa——"

That tune contained a frequency that humans couldn't understand at all. In addition to the simplest harshness, it also had a restless feeling. Even Roland felt a little upset, and an already manic guy like Bert covered his head and was infected. After entering the place, it looked even more riotous.

"Ahhh!"

Even for high-level adventurers, the screams are coming one after another. Compared with the injuries sustained in the battle, the pain caused by flesh and blood turning into crystals, bonding with the body, and constantly corroding is worse than many tortures. .

"Drink the panacea quickly, at least to ensure your fighting strength as much as possible!"

"Calm down, the virus is not spreading that fast!"

Finn, Riveria and others did not care about their injuries and began to try their best to calm the emotions of their companions. At this time, Gareth also showed the irritability of a dwarf. He had rushed to the attack who was still uneasy. Standing in front of Bert, who was staring at the surrounding wall, he knocked him down with a punch and began to forcefully pour the potion into his mouth.

Roland didn't care so much at the moment, but concentrated on staring at the light beam in front of him, watching the scene emerging from the layers of colors.

That was, looking down at the city from the sky, like a god-like perspective. When the song symbolizing the Apocalypse came, the world fell into mourning.

Countless lives were quickly crystallized, broken into powder, and scattered like snowflakes, but were gathered into the sky by invisible forces. In the face of the disaster that began to destroy cities as units, the sky was quickly dyed. In addition to the turbid and dull colors, the sunlight is blocked by these powders, and can only reflect a blurred brilliance.

Purple rivers like long snakes headed towards Orario with a twisting trajectory, gradually blending into the purple light pillar.

At this time, complicated and various emotions suddenly came to Roland.

Fear, malice, numbness, joy, sadness... countless malicious and negative emotions stimulate the rapid growth of the evil in this world that is distributed with the divine wine. Although due to the insufficient number of individuals, they cannot escape this retroactive force. The flow of coercion.

But in an environment composed of countless soul fragments, these greedy guys still ate their fill, grew rapidly, and fed back the sin and pain to Roland.

Feel the negative emotions filling your mind, like the sinful karma that is constantly eroding your will and soul like a whetstone.

Looking at this scene, Roland's eyes narrowed and he made a sound like he was talking in his sleep.

"It's such a clichéd ending, so cliched... that it makes people despair."

The singing continued, and became louder and louder. The divine power belonging to the sheep in Roland's body was also flashing. As the singing continued, it was no longer simply waking up the sleeping virus and activating it, but using the sound to activate it. As a medium, the genes in people who are not infected are also distorted.

If this continues, not only is it the return of the gods, but the server of this game called Netherworld will be gone.

"How long will you continue to look like this?"

Roland sighed and looked at the people behind him with cold eyes.

"Since we are not dead yet, we should act quickly. If this continues, the gods and cities on the ground will be destroyed before us."

Hearing these words, Ota stood up first, continued to show his indifferent expression, and pulled up the members of the family next to him.

"Indeed," Finn also endured the pain, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stabilized his shaking body, "compared to dying after becoming a crystal and breaking into pieces, it is more valuable to die fighting the monster."

But compared to these top adventurers, the first person to come to Roland was the girl with hair as golden as sand.

"This sound is very painful..."

Ais lowered her eyes slightly, and there was actually a hint of sadness in her voice that had been calm in the past.

She also looked at the beam of light, as if she could feel something.

"Ais, are you okay?"

Roland looked at Ais with some surprise. He didn't see any purple crystals on the surface of her exposed skin.

She was resisting because of her own strength, but how did Ais do it?

Reminiscent of the fairy blood in the other party, as well as her abnormality when she heard the song of the orb fetus before, plus the name 'Arya' in Ruiweisi's mouth, Roland's idea of ​​the object possessed by the spirit of the Virus Queen is Everyone probably knows it.

"Well," the keen girl noticed Roland's gaze and shook her head, "it just sounds a little uncomfortable."

"Then, let's start taking action. The next step is undoubtedly the final battle,"

Roland walked without hesitation towards the place where the piranha flowers had appeared before, and sure enough, he soon saw the existence of the stairs.

The final chapter of everything will be revealed at its exit.

In a mysterious space, the man in white robes woke up from a cockpit-like place made of purple crystals and plant tentacles with a gloomy look on his face. After casually pulling out the tentacles that pierced his head, he He pressed his head where the pain still lingered, and let out a resentful voice.

"Damn hero..."

Everything was going smoothly, but unexpectedly a disruptor like that appeared. Fortunately, the ritual of recovery was successfully initiated, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

"Where did he come from? There are still such orthodox heroes in this era," the man in white robe said with a gloomy face: "Fortunately, the Apocalypse virus spread smoothly, and the materials for the ceremony have been collected completely. ”

He looked at the purple crystalline powder floating in the air around him. These were all made of materials from the dead. Unlike Rui Weisi who focused on the practical side, he was more inclined to understand the nature and power of the virus itself. .

When it comes to understanding the Apocalypse virus, not even the gods in this world are more authoritative than him.

"The materials for the ritual have been collected completely, and the carrier has been separated from the host. Soon, I will be able to wake you up."

The man in white robe watched the huge soul energy gathering in the air, gradually pouring into the appearance of the pink-haired girl sleeping in the crystal, talking to himself with a longing emotion.

When the soul energy is completely injected into the crystal in front of her, the girl will be awakened. She will completely control the river of souls in the sky, allowing the final apocalypse to come and destroy the old world.

And he will begin to survive in the new world as a member and prophet of the new humanity.

If it was the ambition of that idiot Rui Weisi, that would be the end of it.

The man in white robes sneered at his dead companion, staring at the perfect face of the girl in the crystal.

His ambitions don't stop there.

He wants to become the god of the new world and guide the evolution of the new world with her whom he admires, but he cannot let the Virus Queen make such a choice by himself.

Therefore, when he discovered the external force, not only did he not expel it, but he cooperated with it to integrate it into the ritual on a deeper level.

Anyway, even if he doesn't do anything, the sleeping virus queen can't resist this essentially beneficial fusion, so why doesn't he just go with the flow and seize the benefits for himself?

"Hey," he frowned and said loudly in the empty space with a fearful and eager tone, "I have done everything you asked for, now it is time for me to be rewarded!"

There was no echo in the silent space, but a huge emotion suddenly began to appear in the gathering of purple powder.

That emotion was filled with hesitation and hesitation, as if he had seen something incredible.

The moment he felt this emotion, the man in white robe, thinking that the other party was trying to break his promise, became even more uneasy, and he roared angrily.

"You promised! That power belongs to me! You should also understand that no matter what, you must hand over this power, and besides me, is there anyone else who can do this?"

He opened his arms, completely exposing his twisted face, and looked at the blurry shadow in the sky.

"Do you have any other more suitable choices?"

And following his voice, the emotions in the air also nodded as if they were reminded of something.

Then, a faint blue light bloomed out of thin air, with a strange double helix structure like genes, circling each other like snakes, and then they swarmed towards the body of the white-robed man.

“Ahhhhh——!”

The next moment, the tragic wails caused by pain sounded again in the silent space.

——

"According to the records left by the Zeus family provided to us by the guild, the fifty-ninth floor should be the world of Glacier... Of course, at the moment when such a change occurs, this kind of information cannot be fully trusted."

"More than I can't believe it, what happened on the 59th floor? We're almost at the exit, and we can't feel the cold at all. So aren't we wearing the fire dragon armor for nothing?"

Soon, some of the adventurers murmured because of this abnormality, and then received an even more unkind reply.

"Do you think this is a good thing? It can cause mutations on an independent level. It seems like this is a fierce battle."

"Hmm..." Finn breathed out, biting his thumb to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

But suddenly, he saw Roland beside him, stunned for a moment, with a serious look on his face.

He had never seen this kind of expression on Roland's face. Even when he was in command of the expedition team, he always looked indifferent. To be able to show him this kind of expression, could there be some accident ahead?

"What's wrong?"

"It's not clear yet...but it seems that something new has changed."

But this time Roland had no intention of hiding it, but his answer was still very ambiguous.

He looked at the back of his right hand. At this moment, it was aching again, just like the precursor to the command spell forcibly given by the Holy Grail.

Roland also vaguely noticed that there was a powerful soul wave at the stairwell in front of him, and there was an emotion like longing coming from him, as if it resonated with him.

"Then let's go."

Finn didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the cave first with a determined face.

The adventurers followed closely behind, welcoming the unknown with vigilance and anticipation. Then, the scene that came into view made all words other than exclamations disappear.

There is no ice everywhere on the 59th floor, no biting cold wind, only a grotto that is far larger than the 58th floor, and a purple oval sphere that almost covers the entire grotto.

What was even more shocking was that the crystallized appearance of the female monster with a huge plant lower body was very similar to the orb fetus that Roland and Ais had encountered before, but it was far superior to it in terms of breath and size.

"How could...that be?"

"It's impossible..."

But the moment they saw the monster, no one among the adventurers cared about the fact that the monster here was also parasitized. They just stared blankly at the top of the female monster.

Looking at the beautiful long hair, slim figure, green skin and green dress, she has a beauty that is not inferior to that of a goddess, breathtaking, but lifeless face.

"The fairy has turned into that!"

That's right, in front of that majesty, everyone knows the true face of the female monster, the messenger who assists the heroes, the darling of the gods, the existence closest to the gods.

Fairy spirit.

Many people have turned their attention to Esther in Roland's hands, and still can't understand why the noble fairy turned into a monster.

And why, at this moment, has she become an empty shell?

"What kind of existence can make the fallen fairy spirit leave the body... It's as if it has been sublimated..."

Uneasy whispers continued, but the adventurers still clenched their weapons.

"In short, if you break that barrier, you can find the culprit and eliminate the disaster, right?"

Finn narrowed his eyes, connected the previous clues, and came to a conclusion.

"It seems that is indeed the case... Riveria."

Roland took over the conversation and called to the magic user beside him. After a quick chant, Riveria quickly released a magic and attacked the barrier, but it did not leave any traces. Moreover, as she Actions.

The soil outside the barrier was constantly churning, and many huge flower buds emerged from the ground, turning into piranha flowers. Among their roots, there were also swarms of worms.

Everyone was not surprised by this result. They quickly picked up their weapons and prepared to face the tide of monsters. At this moment, an arrogant voice also appeared.

"You stubborn idiots! I didn't expect you to actually come here..."

Above the purple crystal, a piece of crystal gradually became transparent, revealing the figure of the man in white robes. However, compared to before, his right hand was covered with bloody crystal vines.

The vines growing out of the flesh are still growing at a slow but steady speed, piercing into the body of the man in white robe. With the eyesight of the adventurers present, it is not difficult to see that there is bright red blood in the crystal. It was ruthlessly extracted by the vines and flowed to the arm.

But the man in white robe seemed to have not seen it at all, still shouting excitedly.

"But now, I have to thank you for your stupidity. After all, how can this power that belongs to the new king not have witnesses?"

His mental state seemed to be getting more and more crazy, and he kept roaring.

"Next, witness my power!"

The man in white robe sneered. Under Roland's thoughtful gaze, he raised his right hand and stretched it into the purple river next to him. The flying crystal powder seemed to be inspired by something and gathered into A long stone, then shattered into pieces.

But when the outermost layer of powder dissipated, he held an incredible cannon-shaped void in his hand.

The man in white robe raised the hand cannon and fired a shot in the direction of the adventurer. After directly destroying the magic of Riveria's attack, he actually left a large hole in the monster group unabated. pit.

"Hahaha——! This is the power of the void! The power that belongs to the king!"

Watching the purple-black bombardment continue to explode and spread, the man in white robe let out a proud laugh.

Then, his vicious eyes focused on Roland.

The two looked at each other silently, and then, the man in white robe raised the muzzle of the gun again, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"It's your turn! Sword Hero!"

Faced with such a threat, Roland just shook his head helplessly and raised a hand.

In the huge grotto, the only sound was his voice.

"This power is indeed amazing. However, you are wrong about one thing. Although you can use this power, at best you can only use it as an outer packaging to store gifts. This power."

Roland's expression changed, and he let go of the protection of the horse charm, responding to the fluctuation and resonance in the air.

"--belong to me!"

Suddenly, a silver spiral quickly appeared from the white-robed man's right hand. After blowing up the surrounding crystal vines and the entire arm, it turned into a rainbow and rushed towards Roland in the posture of a baby swallow. That raised arm!

"no no……"

Not even caring about the pain in his body, the man in white robe with dilated eyes could only watch in despair as the silver double helix wrapped around Roland's raised right hand. After tying it tightly, he obediently transformed into a strange figure. The mark floated on the back of the hand, and then slowly disappeared.

It was completely different from the state in which he struggled and struggled in pain after receiving this power before. Every time he used it, he had to let the power of the void absorb his own life force in order to control it.

After the silver spiral broke away, the already unstable void in his hand turned into powder again, leaving the man in white robes with no chance to get angry and attack.

"Hands, my arms...

He could only hold his broken arm and let out a heart-rending wail in Roland's direction.

"——My king's power!"
