Chapter 470: World Will! Ouma Mana! Gene Resonance!
"For the birth of a King, present a salute?"
What familiar words. The king he welcomed was Ouma Shu, who had purple crystals forming and gathering before the crystal pillar. "He's revived?" Although Tsugumi was shocked she could stand in the sky, she was even more shocked by his revival.
At this moment, the pink light cluster in Ren's hand was flashing madly. This was a soul that could not be complete without being attached to Inori. As for whose? "Ouma Mana."
Ren uttered the name and solidified her soul. The light orb left his hand, expanded, and stretched into a woman extremely similar to Yuzuriha Inori. Her appearance made Inori once again feel her body being called. This was her mission, to be a vessel.
Just as she felt her body was no longer her own, Ren held her hand. "Don't worry. You're not a vessel. You are Yuzuriha Inori."
"Ren…" she stared blankly at him. So reassuring…
Ouma Mana opened her eyes, looked at Ren, and asked her first question calmly, "Do you want to become Adam?"
"…" There was nothing wrong with the question, because she was the chosen Eve. But this should have been directed at Ouma Shu.
Narrowing his eyes, Ren chose to read all her memories. Instantly, he understood. It turned out that after Ouma Mana, as a child, came into contact with the Apocalypse Virus and became Eve, she discovered that Ouma Shu was not as simple as he seemed and began to distance herself. The current Mana was an Eve who could not be killed, appearing infinitely to fulfill her mission.
Whose mission? The Apocalypse and the World's Will. The virus was not alien but born from the planet itself. The so-called Apocalypse was actually the evolution of new humans and the elimination of old ones. It was because the world itself had given birth to a will. In its eyes, the Apocalypse was evolution. In humanity's eyes, it was elimination. And Eve's mission was to complete this evolution.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in being Adam," Ren spread his hands.
Ouma Mana said nothing and turned to look at Ouma Shu. If Ren refused, then he was the best candidate. She only needed to complete her mission. Just as she was about to approach him, Ren snapped his fingers.
"I see you've forgotten who pulled you out. From today onwards, Eve no longer exists."
"!!!" Ouma Mana froze. The moment he spoke, she found that her mission as Eve… had disappeared. She turned her head, looking bewildered. What use am I without my mission?
"I am kind-hearted. From now on, you are just Ouma Mana." Kind-hearted was false; he just wanted to see if severing her mission and consolidating all the power to Shu could create a Doomsday Upgrade. He was covetous of the tenfold reward.
Meanwhile, Ouma Shu immediately noticed his own changes. !!! He was both Eve and Adam, which meant he alone could unleash the Apocalypse. He grinned. "I will devour all the void in the world!"
He raised his right hand high. The pink energy net covering the sky began to undulate. Streaks of lightning-like energy fell, striking humans directly. This was genetic resonance. The moment each human was hit, they would completely crystallize.
Seeing this familiar scene, Ren started a live broadcast.
[Ding! Group member Ren has started a live broadcast!]
[Exusiai has entered the live stream!]
...
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Just entered and already seeing a big scene?]
[Ren: It's just like that. Ch'en, Exusiai, are you familiar with this?]
[Ch'en: …Is this Oripathy?] The sudden crystallization reminded her of it.
[Exusiai: But even with Oripathy, the crystals wouldn't grow so fast.]
[Ren: It's not. This world has an apocalypse virus. The key characteristic is the growth of amethyst-like crystals.]
[Ying Zheng: Indeed, there are all sorts of wonders under heaven.]
[Ch'en: Then why did they instantly crystallize when hit by that light?]
[Ren: It's a man-made Apocalypse, evolving and eliminating humans through genetic resonance.]
[Erza: Are we just going to watch?]
[Ren: Exactly. Wait.]
[Stella: But those people are all dead!] After confirming the reality of world travel, both of them had changed their names.
[Ren: Don't worry, they won't die. I'm waiting.]
[March 7th: Waiting for what?]
[Ren: Waiting for the Doomsday Upgrade.]
[Ding! Detected group member Yuzuriha Inori's world doomsday factor has upgraded! Doomsday level has changed!]
[Ding! Abnormal Doomsday level adjusted from 5-star to 6-star!]
[Ding! If Doom Companion personnel forcefully resolve this upgraded doomsday, the reward will be increased to 10 times!]
Ren's eyes lit up. Speak of the devil.
