Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 414 The Wish for Evolution
Xiangzi walked to Xu Feng's side. After all the other veterans woke up, this reincarnation world, in addition to the veterans and the creators, also had a man and a woman as newcomers.

However, the physical condition of these two newcomers is far inferior to that of the veterans, and they are expected to wake up in a few minutes.

"What should we do after the plot begins?"

Xiangzi asked:

"Judging from the environment of this auditorium, the plot hasn't even started yet. Are they going to intercept the Void Genome that will make the protagonist, Ouma, king?"

The East Sea team does not follow the storyline in most of the reincarnation worlds.

Sometimes the reason is that the main god has already modified the plot to the point that even the original author doesn't recognize it; other times the reason is that these reincarnators recklessly modify the plot in order to obtain resources in the reincarnation world.

In the storyline, the Void Genome, which allows one to extract Void abilities, is extremely valuable.

In the anime's setting, the Void is the personification of the inner world and soul of a boy infected with the Apocalypse Virus, possessing different abilities.

A person's personality and mindset often determine their ability to perform in the virtual world.

The Void of the Gentle Girl is a bandage that can repair items.

The void in the cheerful boy's mind is a camera that can unlock doors.

…………

This is also why Zhao Yingkong believes that the void and the light of the soul are connected.

The Void Genome is another form of the Apocalypse Virus, which allows people to extract the Void from others, and is also known as the Power of the King.

In the anime's setting, there are a total of three Void Genomes, but only two actually appear in the story, and both are injected into the protagonist, Shu Ouma.

"Everyone's inner light is different, and so is the power of the void."

Zhao Yingkong analyzed, "Ouma Shu's void ability is to contain the void of others, which is also a piece of the puzzle for him to complete his mission of saving the world."

"Intercepting that Void Genome will definitely make our mission more difficult. Although we don't need to worry too much about that difficulty, since the natives of this world can create Void Genomes, it shouldn't be too difficult for the captain to create a new one."

Miss Assassin has great confidence in Xu Feng.

She believes that anything humans can do in this era, Hsu Feng can definitely do as well.

“We can’t pinpoint the exact timeline yet. The Void Genome was initially in the Source Gene Research Institute, then stolen by Funeral Parlor, and then accidentally fell into the hands of Ouma Shu. Judging from the current environment, the Void Genome is probably in the hands of the Source Gene Research Institute or Yuzuriha Inori, who was responsible for stealing the Void Genome. I think the captain should be able to make a move before it chooses Ouma Shu.”

"Let's talk about it after the plot starts," Xu Feng interrupted the girls' discussion.

"We have too little information right now, and we don't even know what risks we might encounter. At this time, we shouldn't think about getting benefits from this world."

"Before the story begins, everyone stay by my side so Tifa and the others can test the world's reaction," Xu Feng instructed.

He could vaguely sense an invisible energy surging beyond the protective shield.

Those lacking the strength to detect such fluctuations cannot, but it is no secret to him now.

This surging energy inevitably contains some kind of risk.

Xu Feng naturally wouldn't let Tifa be the first to experience those risks. This time, the East Sea team had eleven Creatures enter the Reincarnation World. Apart from Tifa, Bing'er, and Ruikong, there were eight Creatures who could be used to test the dangers in this world.

Xu Feng would not allow his teammates to take even the slightest risk before these people died.

No, it's not just these eight creators, there are also two newcomers... The newcomers don't have more than 20,000 reward points.

It is not difficult to enable ordinary people to possess combat capabilities comparable to modern civilization.

Shortly after.

The two newlyweds lying on the ground opened their eyes.

After a brief conversation with the two of them, Xiangzi got them to share all their life experiences, and in the process, he also got 100 reward points for explaining the rules from them.

The male newcomer's name is Yamanaka Kaneyuki. He is currently unemployed, but has served in the Self-Defense Forces.

The new female recruit is named Hazuki Mio. She is currently sixteen years old. Her main job is a high school student, and her side job is an idol singer. Naturally, a little girl like her has almost zero fighting ability. If you give her a weapon, she might even hurt herself.

While comforting the newcomer who had suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar setting, Shoko remarked with interest, "It seems like the God of the Sea is using the newcomer's talent to remind us of Yuzuriha Inori's importance."

Just as the story was about to begin, she led the bewildered girl to Xu Feng's side.

Another newcomer was quick-witted; after noticing the senior's positioning, he immediately copied it.

After the breeze blew by, nothing happened.

It seemed unnecessary for Xu Feng to have 'Little Mount Sumeru' fully expand its defensive domain.

"Is the danger only in the last few days?"

Xiangzi was somewhat surprised.

She didn't believe that the Lord God would be so kind.

Just as the mental controller was about to use her mental scan to investigate the current situation, Xu Feng reached out and stopped her.

"Don't use your supernatural abilities for now!"

Xu Feng then looked at Koizumi Masao's creation of a human, allowing the girl to leave the area covered by the Little Sumeru Mountain domain.

Nothing has happened yet...

But Xu Feng's expression turned serious.

He commanded Koizumi Masao to condense a ball of lightning. The next instant, the huge ball of lightning flew out and blasted a crater several meters in radius in the open ground outside the door.

"really……"

Xu Feng sighed softly: "She has become stronger! The invisible dangers of this world are deadly to you."

"Isn't becoming stronger a good thing?" Matsuoka Jintaka asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's a good thing, provided that the increase in strength is controllable and the direction of the increase aligns with one's own desires."

Xu Feng said expressionlessly, "The evolutionary path this world expects is the crystallization of the body, with the soul returning to the Garden of Eden; to those who accept it, this is a blessing from God, to those who cannot accept it, it is death."

Clearly, the reincarnators of the East Sea team do not approve of this evolution.

"But...why does using supernatural abilities lead to evolution? What drives this evolution?"

From Xu Feng's previous actions in preventing her from using her supernatural abilities, Xiangzi realized that the creation of humans using supernatural abilities was the reason that triggered the evolutionary mechanism.

"If we consider the world as a human body, its immune system is probably the rules within the world. After using a power that does not belong to this world, the immune system takes effect and locks in Masao Koizumi's creation of a human."

Xu Feng continued to explain, "And the Apocalypse Virus is its immune system... no, to be precise, it's the way it obtains power from outside the world after sensing unknown information." "The Apocalypse Virus can spread through resonance. The place we are in now is the site of the Lost Christmas outbreak ten years ago. If the world's consciousness is intentionally targeting us, it's not surprising that the Apocalypse Virus appears in our bodies."

“So…” Xiangzi frowned and said, “We’re in this world only able to refrain from using supernatural abilities?”

"I've encountered worlds like 'The Hobbit' and 'A Chinese Ghost Story' before, both of which prohibited the use of technological weapons; is this time I've encountered a world where the use of supernatural abilities is prohibited?"

In the world of Guilty Crown, the use of supernatural abilities is not explicitly prohibited, but based on the information obtained from testing, accidentally using supernatural abilities could have very unpleasant consequences.

"Not using supernatural abilities at all... doesn't seem to have much of an impact?" Mei didn't think there was much of a problem with this situation.

The East China Sea team's technological weaponry is also extraordinary.

The mechanical legion swept through the world effortlessly.

Humans are affected by this inexplicable evolutionary influence, while robots, lacking genes, are naturally not a cause for concern.

“No, if we don’t use our supernatural abilities at all, we simply won’t be able to survive this cycle of reincarnation,” Xu Feng said. “Evolution is just one of the problems; we will encounter many more in the future.”

"Wait, Captain, you've been using your supernatural abilities the whole time, haven't you?" Xiangzi's worry disappeared. "Is there a limit to the effects of this Apocalypse Virus?"

She realized from Xu Feng's calm expression that her captain was definitely not afraid of the so-called power of evolution.

Even if this captain triggered the world's immune mechanism, the Apocalypse Virus could not descend upon him.

Xiangzi then looked at the baby who hadn't shown many symptoms: "How is she? When will she have problems?"

"If there are no major changes, and she stops using her supernatural abilities from now on, she will crystallize completely in about ten months," Xu Feng stated, revealing the answer he had obtained from the timeline.

This takes a long time.

The East Sea Team's mission is simply to survive in this world for about eight months.

It doesn't sound serious.

Even if the created human cannot be saved, he can still live to return to the main god space.

There is a vaccine in this world that can suppress the Apocalypse Virus, so there seems to be even more time available.

But after thinking for a moment, Xiangzi realized a problem from the data: "If we can't make the plot develop according to our ideas, something will definitely happen... For example, the chances of survival on that day, whether or not the character was infected with the Apocalypse Virus, might be completely different during the desolate Christmas at the end of the anime."

"Anyway, Captain, you don't need to worry about this. We can just follow you without worry," Nan Yelin said with a smile.

"Well, before we get more information, you all follow me and let the robots and the humans created by the main god move around in the outside world."

Xu Feng nodded and said.

"However, before that, more experiments need to be conducted..."

Two small anti-gravity drones flew out from his palm.

Their vision was projected onto the broken walls, revealing the surrounding situation.

Xu Feng had already used his Heavenly Eye to collect all the information about the past and future of the solar system, so he didn't need the intelligence provided by the drones. This time, sending the drones out was just an experiment in a different field.

Just as the drone flew over a certain area, a buzzing sound came from it.

Then, the projected image disappeared.

Xiangzi paused for a moment: "Is it the power of the Apocalypse Virus again? Unable to affect the machine from the inside, it simply resorts to brute force damage?"

"It's not necessarily impossible to influence it from within."

Xu Feng calmly said, "The hacking technology in this world is much more advanced than in the real world. It also involves void resonance. If I hadn't prepared a backup plan, it would have been hard to predict what would have happened to those two drones."

The reincarnators from the East China Sea team exchanged glances.

The captain had clearly anticipated this; those drones were definitely damaged beyond repair before the inexplicable changes occurred.

However, all of this once again demonstrates that the situation in this world is quite troublesome.

Xu Feng glanced again at the direction in which the drone was damaged.

Yuzuriha Inori was right there...

However, it wasn't Yuzuriha Inori who damaged the drone, but rather the tube of Void Genome.

The East Blue Team entered the area the morning after Yuzuriha Inori, dressed in invisibility armor, stole the vial of Void Genome from the Source Gene Research Institute.

If the plot remains unchanged, Yuzuriha Inori will be influenced by Ouma Mana to come to this abandoned auditorium, where she will meet the protagonist, Ouma Shu, a few hours later.

The vaguely conscious void genome was repelling the drone, but the little robot in Yuzuriha Inori's arms was perfectly fine, even though it was closer to the void genome.

Xu Feng then took out a long-lost weapon from the Tun Tun factory, the Glock 18C. This weapon also exists in this near-future world, and Yuzuriha Inori is very good at using a similar pistol; the only difference is that it can fire infinitely under the modification of the main god.

After throwing the pistol to the female android, he made her fire continuously for half a minute in fully automatic mode.

Hundreds of gunshots proved it to be quite reliable.

The power of the supreme god has gained an absolute advantage in the struggle against this world.

Next, Xu Feng took out two Gauss pistols with unlimited ammo. These two items came from Zhao Zhuikong's black teammate in the East America team, and also from the main god. In addition, there was a magic revolver called "Death Dance". This revolver fired bullets with extremely high power and could also enchant ordinary bullets to attack spirit creatures.

After obtaining some results, Xu Feng had a general understanding of just how difficult this world truly was.

"As long as we don't intentionally die, protecting all our teammates shouldn't be a problem... The Ancient Bloodline completely counters all the dangers in this world."

The world gave birth to humankind, and as a part of the world, one cannot possibly defeat the world as a whole.

The Ancient Blood lineage allows one to leave the world.

As long as you don't enter the game, you will never lose!

"However, if you don't court disaster, you can't benefit from this world."

Xu Feng analyzed the Apocalypse Virus remotely.

Even he can gain a lot of benefits from this world, so Xiangzi and the others can only gain even more.

This time, the Supreme God has arranged a world where danger and opportunity coexist, and the opportunity seems to outweigh the danger.

"The most significant benefit is actually the storyline over the next 240 days, which can be described as the path to becoming king, the path to fulfilling the previous one's mission... but the dangers of replacing the protagonist on this path are too great!"

"Once infected with the Apocalypse Virus, it means that one has inevitably become a part of the world... Before returning to the Main God Space, one can no longer go to the 'outside the arena' where one is absolutely invincible!"
