Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1200: Gene Mutation

The female assistant lay on the ground in pain. Her once proud golden hair was burning off, and her body was constantly undulating under her clothes, causing Josh's heart to be filled with fear.

"Save me, sir, save …" The assistant's voice became vague, and in the end, he was speechless. Instead, he let out a beast-like roar. She looked at Josh, the muscles on her face crazily wriggling, then the nose bone and even the lower jaw protruded forward, stretching. Under the torn muscles, one could see that the skeleton of the assistant was changing on its own. They proliferated and grew, causing the assistant's head to deform violently, forming a canine-like structure.

The muscles were also growing rapidly, and one could see pieces of tissue crazily twisting together, gradually covering the torn parts, sealing off the exposed bones.

The assistant lowered her head painfully. Now, Josh could not confirm whether she was still human or not. He only knew that this woman who had slept with him a few times had undergone a change, and this change was a fundamental change. It didn't seem to be evolution, it was more like a genetic mutation. Suddenly, Josh remembered the disappeared blood samples. A terrifying but bold idea flashed through his mind.

Before he could grasp the vague idea, he heard the people screaming. Looking down, the assistant's arms suddenly swelled. The swollen muscles cracked the pitiful sleeves. The skeletons of his feet deformed and contracted. When the structure of his body was fixed, Josh saw the hooves of the cloven-hoofed animals. A pair of horns slowly appeared on the head of the man who had already turned his head. At this moment, the assistant did not have the slightest bit of his usual charm. Right now, she looked like a demon from hell. The assistant finally raised her head, and two flames suddenly lit up in her eyes that had been blinded by the flames. She, no, she has to talk about it now. The creature opened its mouth and let out a violent roar. Josh's eyes suddenly lit up. There was a flame spurting out from the middle of the horns, covering its head like a fiery red mane!

"Heavens, what the hell is this" Josh retreated to the elevator door. Right now, he only wanted the elevator to stop. He didn't want to stay inside for a moment.

He didn't know what kind of creature this was, but Alan knew. If Ellen was here, he would have discovered that this was a Fire Horned Demon, the kind of life that only existed in his world of will. But now, this kind of life actually appeared in reality, and it came from a mutation of humans. Even Alan probably wouldn't know what this meant, let alone what it meant.

The female assistant, who had completely transformed into a Fire Horned Demon, no longer had any personality or reason to speak of. It was instinct that controlled this body. The Fire Horned Demon stood up and suddenly pounced on the man closest to him. With a loud roar, he pulled his hands together and pulled off one of the man's arms. Blood splashed everywhere. It opened its mouth and bit the man's throat. Then, it rushed towards a woman.

The elevator screamed.

In front of Josh was a scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere. His face was splashed with the blood of his companions. Just when he thought he was going to die here, the elevator finally reached the target floor. Josh crawled out. At this moment, another man wanted to crawl out, but behind him, the Fire Horned Demon's eyes lit up and grabbed his leg with one hand. He reached out to Josh and pleaded, "Please save me, sir."

Josh trembled and said, "I'm sorry." Then open the next concealment device on the elevator panel and hit the self-destruct button. It was a device that was installed to seal the exit in case of an emergency. When Josh hit the button, the elevator door closed and the noose on it broke, causing the entire elevator to fall down the stairwell.

Hearing the long scream coming from the stairwell, Josh barely wiped his face and staggered out of a nearby door. Behind the door was the east side of the high wall on the surface of the Iron Prison. There was an emergency apron here. A mana airship was ready. The airship was equipped with a small team to escort Josh and his research team away. However, the captain only saw Josh run out covered in blood, but he did not even bow to half a person behind him. He immediately asked, "Sir, what happened?"

"They're all dead." Josh shook his head. "Don't ask me anything now. Take me away."

The captain nodded and helped him to the cabin door. Josh shouted when he got into the cabin door. He felt a burst of heat coming from behind him, as if he was injured. The captain asked, "Are you alright, sir?"

"It's fine." Josh drilled in.

The captain shrugged. He could tell that something was wrong with the lab director. Josh seemed to be sick and his skin was unnaturally flushed. However, the captain did not think too much and ordered his team members to enter the airship. A moment later, the flying ship took off. Not long after leaving the Iron Prison, a bright red light suddenly shone from the ship's porthole, followed by cries of alarm and gunshots. The flying ship seemed to have been greatly disturbed. Its hull shook violently, and suddenly its engine exploded. The flying ship swayed and fell into the desert, finally raising a fireball in the deserted desert.

In the Iron Prison, the entire cabin of the elevator that had fallen to the ground had already deformed, but the Fire Horned Demon did not die. It came out of the elevator. In front of it was a dim passageway. Lights were constantly flashing in front of it. The Fire Horned Demon let out a low roar. At this moment, a black figure appeared around the corner and something flew out. The tattered wings struggled to flap the air. It looked like a large baby, but its skin was fiery red. It was staring at the Firehorn Demon with its round eyes.

This was a fire boy.

The Fire Horned Demon whispered to the fire boy as if he was ordering something, and then the two alien beings left together.

Not long after, cries of alarm and gunshots came from afar, as well as the roars of wild beasts …

A faint beast roar came from the ventilation pipe. Belmord frowned when he heard it. He thought that he had heard wrongly. Where did the beast come from in the Iron Prison?

"Where are you looking?" A female voice sounded.

Belmord saw the female major general walking over. Behind her was a ball of human-shaped light. She could vaguely tell that she was a woman. However, the female projection did not have hands or feet. Instead, it was fluttering with many ribbons of light. There were dozens of ribbons of light, as if they were the projection arm. In the previous battle, it was the projection of these ribbons of light that shattered Belmord's chaos blade grid. But even so, the female major general's body was contaminated with a variety of negative energies. It didn't look easy on her.

But her high fighting spirit gave Belmord a headache.

At this moment, a strange feeling flashed through his mind. Belmord looked in a surprised direction. At this moment, Mirren pushed away another major general and flashed to his side. "This is a battlefield. It's not a good habit to be distracted casually."

"Sorry." "But I can feel Young Master's aura," said Belmord. "He seems to be fighting."

"Ellen is fighting?" Mirren laughed. "That's good news. Go. Leave this to me. You can go back to Alan."

"But you only have one person" Belmord frowned. The two Federation Major Generals had already gathered together and were eyeing them covetously.

Mirren shrugged and said, "Alright, I don't need a mercenary to worry about."

Belmord smiled gently and didn't say anything else. He turned around and flashed. Seeing this, the two major generals naturally charged forward, but the two mimicry pistols stopped them. Mirren pointed her pistol at them and said, "Didn't you understand what I said just now? The two of you better stay behind for me."

The male major general grinned coldly, "General Mirren, I admit that you are very difficult to deal with, but do you really think one person can stop the two of us? Or does Sirius look down on us like this?"

"No, I don't mean to underestimate you at all." Mirren shook her head. The radiance of Origin Energy dissipated from his body, and his aura soared like a rising tide. "On the contrary, you guys underestimated me."

The female major general suddenly shouted, "He's not only Level 25!"

Mirren smiled and said, "That level was a long time ago." A ball of silver flames suddenly erupted and a silver pillar of light shot up from Mirren's body. The intensity of the flames caused the surrounding space to dim, forming a strong contrast. Within the silver pillar of light, Mirren's two mimicry pistols disintegrated, dispersing into primitive Origin Energy and merging into the pillar of light.

An intense light pulled out a long shadow behind the two major generals. The female general took a few steps back in disbelief before looking at her companion and saying, "This level of Origin Energy has already exceeded Level 30. He …"

"His true strength is already equivalent to that of a Federation Admiral, damn it!" The male major general cursed hatefully.

After Mirren's Origin Energy reached Level 30 in one breath, her Qi gradually slowed down and the pillar of light gradually disappeared. When the light in the space returned to normal, the two major generals saw that Mirren was already wearing a silver armor. The armor was translucent, apparently formed from Origin Energy. Its shape was somewhat similar to that of a medieval knight's armor, except that there were some complicated golden patterns on its surface. The two major generals were sure that the patterns weren't just decorations, they were also the origin power circuits of the armor.

This was the Seal Armament, the Armament that belonged to Mirren!

He opened his eyes in the mimicry helmet, and two silver flames sprayed out from Mirren's back, dancing behind him like two banners. He stretched out his hand and held it. Countless Origin Energy fluorescent lights appeared from the void and gathered in his palm. Then, a cone-shaped Knight Spear appeared in Mirren's hand. The knight's spear was completely silver white, and a golden line connected the spear's center to the end, forming a golden cross with the horizontal line on the spear hilt.

"Galactic Light." Mirren's gentle voice sounded under her helmet, "Apart from Marshal Windsor Belo, this is the first time I've shown such a gesture in front of outsiders …"

"Your strength is already firmly in the position of general, but you throw away the rank of major general. Why is that?" The female major general asked.

"The reason is very simple, because if the old party found out that Sirius had an additional general, those old men would have a headache, right? Also, I think it would be good to be a major general on Sirius." Mirren lowered her voice and said, "Then let's talk about another matter …"
