Chapter 877: Chapter 876: Sporangium

“Material analysis complete: [Black Water]”

Type: RNA virus

Properties: Highly secretive, highly erosive, highly mutable.

Purity: Extremely low

※Exclusive Trait – “Divinity (Mutation)”: Under special circumstances, it can induce a body to undergo mutations ‘against the rules of the world’, bestowing corresponding divine nature upon the host (the higher the purity, the greater the chance of induction).

It is strongly recommended for the main body to collect high-purity primordial Black Water to attempt perfecting its Plague Body system and obtain a “Perfect Body”.

…

“A Perfect Body? I remember in the ‘Alien’ series’ universe, the Alien Engineers developed the Black Water which, through a series of breeding steps, ultimately led to the creation of an individual Alien called the ‘Perfect Lifeform’.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

The ‘Alien’ has clearly been elevated and amplified within the World of Fate, even incorporating divinity.

This is interesting…

When it comes to divinity, the ‘Holy Blood’ flowing in my right arm also possesses it… paired with the ‘Mythical Contact (Ancient Egypt)’ corresponding to my left arm, it should be able to restrain it.

This is the World of Fate I’m looking for!”

…

A contented Han Dong left the laboratory to join his teammates.

“The invasive ability of the Black Water is so powerful, it must be related to the ‘Divinity’ it carries, right? If we can withstand this ‘Divinity’, we should be able to avoid being invaded by the Black Water to a certain extent.

Miss Mary is a good proof of that.

She went after the assailant and even though she was hit by a self-destruct attack, she was not infected by the Black Water… Her ‘Ancestor Body’ on a structural level, has already touched upon the film of myth, possessing a certain divine nature.

Moreover, the ‘Toad Clothes’ Miss Mary wears also serve as a layer of divine protection.”

Praised like this by Han Dong, even from beneath a cascade of curls hiding her face, Mary couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.

“Resist divinity, huh?”

Dumps nodded, affirming Han Dong’s statement… He naturally had plenty of methods at his disposal.

Abe also pondered his own situation, “Divinity… perhaps the unknown beast within me could serve to resist it.

My grandfather once said, what is inside me can compare to the Behemoth Beast from the myths.”

With that, only Mia became nervous, clutching Han Dong’s arm, “What about me… what do I do, Nicholas?”

“Don’t panic, haven’t you learned ‘Ancient Witchcraft’? This witchcraft, originating from the Secret Country, might be effective… did you use it when you were infected by the Black Water earlier?”

“Hee hee, I forgot… I’ll try it next time.”

“If you still can’t resist it, stay as close to me as possible.”

“Thank you, my dear.”

Mia wasn’t really that afraid, she was even willing to ‘give birth’ to another for Han Dong if necessary… after all, the concept of reproduction in insects is entirely different from that of humans.

As long as Han Dong could deliver in time and not threat Mia’s life, being infected didn’t matter.

…

The entire team donned their battle space suits provided by the Heberlion Company and gathered in front of the bridge.

“So, our next ‘exploration’ will mostly follow the escape route of the attacker… his escape must have had a purpose, and he might lead us to a village or an Alien city.

‘Prometheus’ is incredibly difficult, and what we’ve just encountered might have been just an ‘ordinary person’ on this planet.

Everyone, be cautious.”

“Ordinary person? Nicholas, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?”

“It might be a bit exaggerated, but not by much… It’s only natural for the intensity of ‘Prometheus’ to be so high.”

“The settings of ‘True Fate’ are incredibly difficult, which is why knights who apply to undergo their True Fate must pass through rigorous screening by the Knight Regiment and the headquarters.”

“The ‘Difficulty Level’ will soar linearly with each individual’s ‘number of entries’.”

Talent Points are not simply attained, one must enter True Fate with the mentality of trading with death.”

Besides, the presence of Lord Maritzis has elevated the average level of the squad.”

“The innate difficulty of ‘Prometheus’ probably corresponds to the standard of a third or even a fourth order knight… not to mention whether or not we can find a ‘path to life’.”

“The key to having everyone survive and clear the game lies in all of us improving during the process.”

Han Dong’s speech had a certain encouraging effect on his teammates, but it seemed like pointless talk to Maritzis.

She didn’t care at all about the deaths of these inferior humans… In fact, she would be happier if they died.

Of course, Han Dong was an exception.

[Exploration Begins]

The green plants growing on the alien planet were almost identical in structure to those in Han Dong’s concept.

However, one could often see black spherical fungal sacs on the forest floor and on the trunks of trees… breathing sacs that expelled micro spores laden with Black Water with every breath.

Without the protection of a spacesuit, once the spores were inhaled, rapid infection would ensue.

Naturally, Han Dong’s Demon Eye could see them.

Han Dong even directly scooped up a fungal sac to observe, finding that it contained about 10ml of Black Water… but the purity of this Black Water was still very low.

“These spherical fungal sacs don’t seem to form naturally but appear to be deliberately scattered throughout the forest… wait a minute!”

Han Dong gestured, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

Maritzis, leading the way, also halted and turned to look at Han Dong, feeling he was making a fuss over nothing… after all, she hadn’t sensed anything yet.

“The quantity and density of spherical fungal sacs are increasing as we delve deeper into our exploration.

I estimate we’ll soon arrive at some kind of ‘cultivation area’… The one who ambushed us is likely trying to flee there.

The loud noises from the interstellar spaceship’s landing, combined with the local’s self-destruction death, make it very likely we are completely exposed.

A large number of eyes hidden in the woods are closely watching our every move… It’s possible that similar assailants could suddenly emerge from unknown directions.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s level of vigilance rose a notch.

Only Maritzis remained unconcerned, “Making a big deal out of nothing… how powerful can such secretive things be?”

“Anyway, slow down a bit.”

Not far ahead, there lay a river riddled with many black spots, splitting the forest in two.

When they reached the other side of the forest by a log bridge, the environment changed completely… The trees on the opposite bank were denser, with their leaves blocking 90% of the sunlight, casting the entire woods in a gloomy and eerie light.

Just as Han Dong had anticipated.

Here, heaps of spherical fungal sacs covered the ground like some kind of ‘cultivation area’.

And there were also giant fungal sacs, over two meters tall… their surfaces moving slightly as if something was being bred inside.

Deep in the woods.

Even more massive fungal sacs could be seen, suspended from the branches, creating a particularly eerie scene.

“Hm? There seems to be a house construction about a thousand meters away in a clearing…”

Due to the dense Black Water spores floating in the woods, Han Dong could only glimpse the outline of the house.

Finding that place might lead to the main plot of ‘Prometheus’ and at the very least, trigger a valuable side quest.”
