The Beginning: Simulating the Apocalypse - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: The Only Way to Defeat the Faceless Behemoth

【Soon, the Faceless Behemoth stepped onto a new landmass, spreading pollution and corruption freely, turning the land it trod on into a hell of abominations. Its nature was too chaotic and twisted. Even if it didn’t deliberately spread corruption, the souls of ordinary people would unconsciously be corrupted the moment they saw it.】

【One, two, three… The Faceless Behemoth continued to advance, destroying all the countries along the way, bringing the tragic songs of blood and flesh. A large number of ordinary humans were infected and turned into devotees of the Evil God or transformed into the semblance of deep-sea creatures… In less than half a month, the Faceless Behemoth completely reversed the declining situation of the abominations.】

【In order to stop the further corruption by the Faceless Behemoth, the remaining countries on Blue Star vigorously manufactured Alien Serums and created a force of over ten thousand Alien Warriors, hoping to defeat the Evil God with the power of the Evil God.】

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi felt something was amiss and instinctively frowned.

In the end, the power borrowed from the Alien Serum still belonged to the Evil God. Every human who consumed the Alien Serum could be seen as an alternative abomination with their own will.

Normally, it was fine, and they could still control themselves stably without being corrupted.

But if facing a high-level servant of the Evil God like the Faceless Behemoth…

“This is playing with fire and self-immolation,” Jiang Yi murmured.

【As the host noticed something wrong, the army composed of Alien Warriors had already assembled. They stood confidently before the Faceless Behemoth, ready to unleash various abilities of abominations and engage in battle with the Faceless Behemoth. However, they found themselves losing control of their bodies.】

【Chaos, distortion, madness, wailing… Indescribable feelings filled the minds of every Alien Warrior, interfering with their thoughts, distorting their wills, and corrupting their souls.】

【In front of a high-level servant of the Evil God like the Faceless Behemoth, the corruption hidden within the Alien Warriors was completely detonated, devouring the human aspect and turning them into the most devout believers and fanatical followers of the ancient dominator… When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Humanity could never have imagined that their most trusted trump card would turn into a weapon against them.】

“I knew it would be like this,” Jiang Yi sighed.

From a high vantage point, he could clearly see a large number of Alien Warriors rushing into human gathering places, slaughtering humans in extremely eerie abominable forms.

It was hard to imagine that these were the heroes who once protected humanity from the invasion of the Evil God’s devotees.

“The drawbacks of the first generation of Alien Serum are too significant. If the enemy is on the side of the Evil God, there is almost no way to maintain self-control,” Jiang Yi pondered.

Compared to the Gene Elixir that developed the potential of the body – if both of which were first versions – the Alien Serum seemed much more powerful.

However, correspondingly, the drawbacks of the Alien Serum were so visible.

If humanity couldn’t solve this drawback of the Alien Serum in subsequent simulations, Jiang Yi would decisively abandon this plan.

【As the host sighed, the world of Blue Star had already encountered an unprecedented catastrophe, with almost all the land being eroded and polluted. Everywhere, there were twisted abominations. Only a few remaining humans hid underground, temporarily avoiding the fate of slaughter.】

【In this near-genocide situation, the remaining humans were filled with grief and indignation, tirelessly researching Gene Serums and Alien Serums, finally glimpsing more possibilities.】

【Scientists combined Alien Serum Type I with Gene Serum Type IV to create a brand new second-generation Alien Serum, the Alien Serum Type II.】

【The Alien Serum Type II abandoned the concept of symbiosis with abominations, focusing on developing the potential of human genes, with the ability to absorb and devour abominations as a supplement. It allowed the user to use abominations’ powers at will while continuously enhancing human genetic potential, ensuring that their own wills would never be lost.】

“Oh?,” Jiang Yi squinted, revealing a playful expression. “Alien Serum Type II? Absorption and devouring?”

“To absorb and devour abominations, and to promote the transformation of human genetic potential with the power of corruption. Not bad, this is indeed an excellent idea.

“Although compared to Gene Serums that can be cultivated independently, it still has significant drawbacks, it can still be considered a very significant improvement.”

Jiang Yi didn’t hesitate to express his admiration for the scientists behind this simulation. After all, to think of a way to resist the source of corruption, that unnamed ancient ruler, was indeed an extraordinarily wise move for humanity.

【As the host appreciated, the surviving humans on Blue Star had consumed the Alien Serum Type II. They emerged from their underground fortresses and engaged in fierce battles with the countless abominations on the surface.】

【The second generation of Alien Serum was extremely powerful. In front of the new Alien Warriors, no abomination could stop them. Even so, everyone did not relax. They knew very well that the Faceless Behemoth was the real obstacle.】

【In the end, humanity once again confronted the Faceless Behemoth head-on. Unlike the first encounter, all the Alien Warriors remained clear-headed. They were unaffected by the aura of the high-level servant. Even so, humans were horrified to find that, even with the consumption of Alien Serum Type II, it was very difficult for them to surpass the Faceless Behemoth in terms of sheer strength.】

【The ones who consumed Alien Serum Type II still, in a sense, belonged to mortal bodies. But the Faceless Behemoth was different. It was a truly extraordinary creature, far surpassing humanity in essence. If they wanted to defeat the Faceless Behemoth, there was only one way — to surpass the limits of humanity!】
