Chapter 1521: Chapter 109 Tang Zheng’s Mutation

Black Long Straight was sleeping soundly, her blinded eyes closed, giving her an even more peaceful appearance, like a delicate orchid in an empty valley.

"Do not fear the power you have already felt; power itself is neither right nor wrong. It depends on why and how the user wields it. Use it to protect those you wish to guard. Don’t be confused; believe in yourself!" Xiu patted his head, thinking he had read too many comics, and his speech had become almost mystical.

"I hope you like this little gift." Xiu placed a crystal on the bedside table. Hearing noises in the hallway, he quickly teleported away.

"Everybody up!" Tang Zheng clenched his fist and pounded the cabin wall. Only the Warhammer team lived in this area, and he worried that Xiu might bring danger to everyone.

When Tao Ran woke up, she saw the crystal, and with curiosity, she reached out to touch it. As soon as her fingertips made contact, the crystal exploded into powder that reformed into the words Xiu had spoken before vanishing.

Black Long Straight was puzzled, and then she felt a burning pain in her blinded eyes, as if they were being stabbed by needles. But the next second, the pain disappeared, replaced by endless warmth, as though she was bathing in spring sunlight.

"Hela’s Eyes?" An enormous amount of information flooded into Tao Ran’s mind. She removed the eyepatch called the Time Goddess’s Broken Wing and looked in the mirror to find her vision restored. But in the next instant, her heart skipped a beat.

A strange magic array pattern appeared over her black pupils.

"What’s happened?" Tao Ran covered her eyes, almost crying out in panic. She wasn’t happy about receiving new power; instead, she was worried Tang Zheng would think of her as a monster.

"Did someone come by?" Pang Meiqin opened the hatch, her complexion grave, "I don’t know who left me a crystal. I touched it, and it turned into a string of words."

"What words?" Dantai also had a crystal in his room but he hadn’t touched it, being very cautious.

"As a successor to Pandora, after so many life and death struggles, you should realize that even without the Seed Ability, you are still a strong person. Let Pandora’s Seed merge with your body; that way, even Trojan cannot fully lock you down." With a Conqueror’s memory, it was entirely possible to remember every detail.

"What does that mean? All this mystic babble?" Old Soldier, an atheist, was irritated by such talk, "I have a crystal by my bed, too."

The group entered the room and saw Lin Weiguo touch the crystal. It shattered and turned into a sentence.

"You are an excellent soldier, a Combat mate to be relied upon, please contribute your power for Tang Zheng."

"I have one too." Lu Fan raised her little hand, pulling Tang Zheng to her room.

"Little witch, although your intention to help Tang Zheng is nice, Trojan World really isn’t for you. Please leave!"

"Hmph, I don’t want to." Watching the text appear out of thin air, Little Lolita huffed in dissatisfaction, hugging Tang Zheng’s arm, "I insist on staying with uncle."

"Who else has a crystal?" Dantai’s message was relatively simple.

"Born to be an Elite, you are very suited for competition and combat; prove your worth in the world."

Qin Yan’s crystal message was more extensive.

"Your Crown and Magic Gun should erase that false name and show off their real power. Seize the light that is yours; you have great strength and Lucky by your side!"

As these words appeared, the Magic Spear Thorn automatically sprang from the Wristwatch, morphing in shape, displaying various powerful effects. The false crown obtained from Snow White also revealed new additional skills.

Mu Nianqi actually saw the figure of the mysterious person and was pondering his identity while deciphering the hidden meanings left behind.

"Your opponents have become top beings in the Trojan World. You need to make a choice, reclaim the Blade, rush toward your opponent, and prove yourself. Past regrets should be remedied."

"Who left this, and why don’t we have one?" Yu Deye was upset, feeling that with his strength, he completely deserved a crystal message.

Yu Deye actually didn’t care what the message said; it was more about a sense of competition, and this situation made him feel overlooked.

"Tao Ran, are you okay?" Tang Zheng noticed Black Long Straight’s pallor and wanted to approach her, but in front of Xin Lan and the others, he just couldn’t take the step.

"I’m going back to rest." Black Long Straight shook her head, not knowing how to face Tang Zheng, and chose to escape.

"Everyone back to the cabin. If anything is amiss, sound the alarm immediately." Dantai clapped his hands and walked around, checking the surroundings.

The room’s cooling system seemed to be broken, making it somewhat stuffy. Tang Zheng couldn’t sleep, rehearsing the upcoming itinerary and worrying about the future of the others.

As the game became increasingly difficult, even the First Order barely stood a chance of survival, not to mention Lu Fan who wasn’t even Third-order yet.

When the Rising Sun appeared above the sea level, Tang Zheng finally felt sleepy, but before he could fall asleep, he noticed a slight fluctuation in the air.

"You dare to come back?" Tang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and entered Hero Mode at once. He launched the full power of Gravity Abyss at this uninvited guest.

Sister Q released her domain, and grass spread under her feet, forming a Castle. She didn’t use a Gun, instead blocking Tang Zheng’s attack with her bare hands.

"I’m not here to fight!" Sister Q frowned, "Don’t try to take off my mask, you won’t succeed."

"How do you know if you don’t try?" Tang Zheng noticed that Sister Q had no hostility, so he took advantage of this and made a strong move, twisting his wrist and grabbing a dagger.

"Stop, I’m running out of time!" Sister Q shrieked, her body unable to hold itself together, with some parts showing mosaic-like phantoms. This tearing agony made her very uncomfortable, even her movements became slow and stiff.

This was an opportunity. With Tang Zheng’s strength, he could completely take off her mask, but the worry in her words made him unable to act, his fist stopping in front of Sister Q.

"Why are you deliberately disguising your voice? Because we know each other?" Tang Zheng summoned Daylily to heal Sister Q.

"Being so kind to a stranger, be careful not to get taken advantage of," Sister Q thought warmly, though her mouth spared no mercy in mocking Tang Zheng, of course, deep down she felt some disappointment that he still hadn’t recognized her.

Tang Zheng didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on Sister Q’s body, slowly understanding that her bust was a bit larger, her body was fuller, and she even had a mature woman’s aura.

"You, are you married?" Tang Zheng suddenly thought of a possibility and asked subconsciously, then felt somewhat bitter, afraid to hear the answer.

Sister Q refused to answer and took out a forcibly seized Mitochondria gene core, treating it like an insignificant thing, and tossed it to Tang Zheng.

"You’re joking, right? This could be a game-changing prop!" Tang Zheng frowned as though about to crush a crab, feeling the core’s temperature; he could naturally tell it was the real deal.

"There’s no time left," Sister Q said urgently as her left leg had disappeared and most of her body had turned into a mosaic.

Daylily kept releasing Healing Magic, only to be stopped by Sister Q.

"It’s no use, save some Life Energy. Don’t you want to know my identity? Fine, I’ll tell you!" Sister Q walked up to Tang Zheng and suddenly hugged him.

With Tang Zheng’s caution, he originally wanted to refuse, but looking into those eyes filled with love, he couldn’t do it.

"Tang Zheng, don’t die!" Sister Q pressed her cheek against Tang Zheng’s chest, unable to help herself, tears flowing out, "I can’t help you in the battles to come. Remember, choose door number 63, and be wary of a guy with silver hair!"

Sister Q revealed too much, coughing out a lot of blood, her body breaking down even more.

"Are you okay?" Tang Zheng gently patted Sister Q’s back, holding back his curiosity.

"No!" Sister Q’s voice suddenly became hoarse, almost indiscernible, startling Tang Zheng, who didn’t know she was under assault by the forces of space and time.

Sister Q’s lips quivered, but she could no longer make a sound; she gave up and suddenly took out a glass vial.

The Mitochondrial prototype was bubbling in blue liquid, shrinking and expanding as if breathing.

"This is the last thing I can do for you." Sister Q opened the vial, stabbing it directly into Tang Zheng’s neck.

Sister Q, after all a Fourth Order hero, was releasing her domain, catching Tang Zheng off guard.

The green Mitochondrial prototype found a host, excitedly trembling and burrowing into Tang Zheng’s body.

Tang Zheng suddenly lost strength and fell to the ground. His limbs out of control, his temperature surged, and he even emitted steam.

Sister Q held Tang Zheng, lowered her head, and kissed his lips, also staining his mouth with blood.

"I was supposed to take your first time, but it seems there’s no chance now." Sister Q showed a pained smile, stroking Tang Zheng’s forehead, wishing to make him relax and be happy, then kissed him on the forehead.

"Strive to survive." Sister Q’s figure shattered into countless mosaics and disappeared from the cabin.

Tang Zheng couldn’t care about guessing her identity anymore; every cell in his body seemed to be revolting, like a fueled engine endlessly surging, almost self-combusting.

"She wouldn’t harm me!" Sister Q’s love for Tang Zheng was definitely real, not an act, and inside, with Tang Zheng’s control over his body, he naturally sensed an evolution in progress.

This was an upgrade higher than the Seed, after all, the Seed has no life, whereas the Mitochondria have wisdom, capable of adjusting the body at the genetic level after heavy damage and providing almost infinite energy.

Tang Zheng was in agony, as if every cell was being plucked out by pliers. He was Third-order, and with his weakened body, he could not fully withstand the Mitochondria’s transformation, even with their suppression failing, the Mitochondria began counterattacking, trying to take control and dominate the consciousness.

Boom, Tang Zheng’s arm swelled, writhing aimlessly like a predatory snake, striking at his head—if he lost consciousness, the Mitochondria’s control would be smoother.

Bang, Tang Zheng slammed his fist hard into the ground, creating a large hole. The Group Members heard the noise and rushed over.

"What happened to you?" Lu Fan was startled by Tang Zheng’s appearance and instinctively ran over.

"Don’t go." Dantai held back Lu Fan, his face solemn, "He’s mutated." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
