Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 499 Mysteries and Arrangements

Although they were seated around the dining table, the members of the Central Continent Team were not in a relaxed mood. Some of them swallowed the boasts they were about to make, because what had happened earlier was indeed quite bizarre.

Lori gripped Zheng Zha's hand tightly. She hadn't been to the horror movie world, so she was already in a state of shock and hadn't planned on eating this meal anyway. Although neither of her hands could physically harm Zheng Zha, the tightness in her grip revealed the little girl's worry.

Zheng Zha couldn't help but smile wryly. He carefully moved his wine glass a little to the side. Zhang Jie, who was using telekinesis to pour wine for the others, chuckled inwardly, but his face remained serious as he filled Zheng's glass as well.

"Ahem, it's really not a big deal," Zheng Zha coughed. "Even if it really explodes, I can heal."

you……

The thought flashed through everyone's minds simultaneously, and Zheng Zha's scream immediately rang out. Unfortunately, his acting was too exaggerated, so Loli naturally pinched him a few more times.

Mu Xiang sighed: "It's not a question of whether or not to blow it up, but rather why you're having this adverse reaction..."

"Could it be because vampires are afraid of sunlight?" Zhang Heng wondered.

Zhan Lan shook her head: "It shouldn't be like that... When Zheng Zha exchanged for the vampire bloodline, the main god clearly stated that he had no weaknesses such as sunlight or silver."

As she spoke, Zhan Lan turned her gaze to Long Taobing: "Besides, didn't you guys do an experiment before?"

“Yes…theoretically, holy light and vampire energy can indeed conflict, but there is no absolute restraint relationship.” Long Taobing frowned slightly. “According to Mu Xiang’s speculation, this also falls within the scope of the conflict between positive and negative energies.”

Mu Xiang nodded, but said nothing.

In the infinite diversity of existence, there is no such thing as absolute one-sided restraint... Following the habit of a certain author, so-called restraint is always based on inherent conflict, where one side is overwhelmingly powerful and crushes the other. For example, even the Holy Light Bullet, which is clearly capable of restraining vampires, has a problem of size.

Unless one's level is insufficient and the Holy Light Sphere directly hits their body, even a third-tier Reinhardt can forcibly block the Holy Light with vampire energy. Take Zheng Zha for example, if he were to eat a pound of Holy Light Spheres, he probably wouldn't have any effect; a burp would be considered an effective Holy Light Sphere.

As for sunlight... it won't have any effect on Zheng Zha.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha had practiced extensively and were extremely familiar with each other's energies. In reality, any conflict would be a clash of their sizes, not even as intense as the mutual restraint between Holy Light and Vampire Energy.

“Speaking of which, your reaction just now was somewhat similar to your clone,” Mu Xiang said. “His heart provides energy that can violently conflict with vampire energy… even more significantly than my Kryptonian energy.”

Zheng Zha remained silent for a while, then shook his head: "At that time, my consciousness had not fully recovered, so I couldn't make any comparisons... Otherwise, perhaps it could be compared with the feeling of using the Samadhi Yin Yang Sword."

"Hey, at least it's resolved, right? Now that Mu Xiang has absorbed that energy, Zheng Zha definitely won't have this reaction again," Zhang Jie said, trying to comfort everyone who looked unwell.

Zheng Zha smiled and said, "It's alright. At the time, my consciousness was mainly focused on the enhancement... otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state. I fight with energy, so how many times have I've had my energy intertwined with that of the enemy?"

[That seems like a misinterpretation... The appearance of that energy is truly bizarre. But considering only the energy level, there's probably nothing to gain. The key is why it was activated in the first place.] As the vampire bloodline strengthens, the power of that essence blood is also activated, which is why Zheng Zha exhibits many characteristics not belonging to the vampire race... If that's the case, could the real reason be that Zheng Zha has unearthed the hidden power within Mu Xiang's blood?

This power is not something Zheng Zha can convert...

Although everyone had started eating and the atmosphere had eased considerably, Mu Xiang's mind was still churning with thoughts.

Could it be that my own blood is harder to absorb than the essence blood of dragons, phoenixes, and asuras? That's just ordinary blood, not specially refined or condensed essence blood.

Putting aside whether his subsequent bloodline enhancement and realm improvement would cause changes to his previous blood, even if there really was such a metaphysical connection, Zheng Zha's bloodline and realm were no worse than his own, so why did he have such a serious adverse reaction?

Mu Xiang dared to say that if he hadn't drawn out that energy, Zheng Zha would definitely have been blown to bits!

Although Zhang Heng started bragging again, few people agreed with him. Zheng Zha wasn't so bothered anymore, but he still had to appease Lori, so he just rambled on and on.

"By the way, what dangers did you encounter when you returned to 'The Trembling Black Hole'?" Long Taobing stepped on Zhang Heng's foot and looked at Mu Xiang and the other two.

Zhang Jie glanced at Mu Xiang, knowing he was still thinking, and took over the conversation, telling everyone about the Dream Realm.

Mu Xiang would nod occasionally or add a few words, but everyone knew that he was still thinking about something else.

After my battle with the Emerald Supreme, I discovered an anomaly in my own genes... To be precise, the genes that could enhance Kryptonian bloodlines existed within my original genes.

Mu Xiang recalled the question that had been bothering him back then, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... that what Zheng Zha activated but couldn't handle was information from this part of the gene?
This inference is quite alarming, but Mu Xiang can't completely deny the possibility... There are too many mysteries in his own genes, and perhaps he should wait for Chu Xuan to come back before discussing it.

If Mu Xiang were to think about it on his own... he would still wonder why he, a true-blue Earthling, would have such strange genes.

While Mu Xiang was pondering, Zhang Jie had already finished recounting the events of the previous day. The audience either listened with great interest or seemed thoughtful… Experiencing such a story firsthand might be too troublesome, but it was certainly interesting to hear.

Liu Xi put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "What are the arrangements after that?"

"The same as before, continue training as usual. Your attributes can still be upgraded, but before that, it's necessary to finish dealing with the matters in the Resident Evil world." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "You've explored that world quite thoroughly. Once you finish the entire series, you'll all receive decent rewards. However, before ending the series, I'll take you to get the T-virus source solution, which is a necessary raw material for creating the gene lock catalyst."

Zheng Zha couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Umbrella Corporation in that world is really unlucky. Counting the team battle, they went back once, and then twice more, which means they're going to be bothered four times in total."
