Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 505 Why
"Where is Zhang Heng?" When Zhan Lan finished assessing her own condition and came back to her senses, she couldn't find Zhang Heng anywhere.

Qi Teng shrugged and laughed, "I helped him decipher the writing on the outside of the Saint Cloth Box, it said something about refining it... and then he rushed back to his room."

"Looks like it'll be a long time coming, otherwise he definitely would have done it in front of us." Zheng Zha couldn't help but laugh. "By the way, it shouldn't interfere with the next horror movie, right?"

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "It's not that bad. He's been strengthening himself all at once, and his internal cosmos is now on par with the Saint Cloth. If he wants to refine it, these few days should be enough. If all else fails, let him go back to a horror movie."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xi in the pillar of light: "Unbeknownst to us, the number of double A-level enhancements in our team has been increasing."

Liu Xi's enhancements were naturally still focused on the Three-Eyed Clan bloodline. Returning to Resident Evil 2 twice also provided her with sufficient funds. Although her luck wasn't great, with only a B-rank side quest and 5,000 reward points from the random rewards, it was just enough to complete two A-rank side quests.

With advanced Three-Eyed Clan blood, she possesses A-level telekinesis… While A-level telekinesis isn't anything special in the current Central Continent Team, it's not something everyone in the entire Reincarnation World can possess. Moreover, what she needs is the true advantage of her advanced Three-Eyed Clan bloodline… computational power!

[I wonder how much of an improvement the S-rank three-eyed royal bloodline will bring... Even if her gene lock level isn't high enough then, she'll probably still be able to smash bricks with her strength.]

As for Overlord, everyone originally planned to help him enhance his Fenrir bloodline to S-rank, but the man himself refused. He was quite satisfied with his current attribute enhancements, but somewhat dissatisfied with his firepower... Mu Xiang wanted to say something, after all, the Central Continent Team didn't lack side quests, and another S-rank enhancement would be good.

However, after Ba Wang revealed the weapon he wanted, Mu Xiang remained silent for a long time before suggesting that Ba Wang's proposal to fulfill it be approved.

That weapon was a Class A ultra-high-tech weapon. The reason it was described as a "unit" is because its scale and power were not to be underestimated. The weight of this single weapon alone was measured in tons.

Its name is the Anti-Biowave Cannon. Mu Xiang last saw this name in the "Primordial Era". And its user is named... Campa Rovsky.

Afterwards, Mu Xiang and Ba Wang examined the description of the weapon given by the main god. Perhaps it was Ba Wang's intuition that led him to choose this weapon. If they could exchange for it, the boost to Ba Wang, a firepower specialist, would indeed be even more terrifying, and the cost-effectiveness for the Central Continent Team would also be the same.

“Anyway, my current gene lock level is not high enough. Even if I exchange for the Fenrir bloodline, I can’t unleash the combat power of a fourth-tier, right? After all, the real strength of that bloodline lies in the second giant wolf transformation based on the werewolf, but my level is not high enough to support this state for long…” That’s how the Overlord explained it. “But weapons don’t have this limitation.”

However, he was wrong about one thing... The Anti-Biowave Cannon, as a single-soldier weapon comparable to a demigod's combat power, has a terrifying weight limit, and given his physical abilities, he no longer has any concept of this weight.

After all, the Overlord isn't the kind of werewolf that can be instantly killed by a miniature nuclear bomb or trapped by a wall...

Watching a colossal machine slowly take shape within the beam of light, Ba Wang rubbed his hands together excitedly. Zhang Jie punched him lightly: "Don't be so polite with me, buddy. Once your gene lock is upgraded, I'll definitely save up that bloodline for you... You're asking for special treatment, refusing my money, how can I stand it?" Ba Wang laughed heartily: "Of course, then I'll have to... uh, rely on you."

As for Qi Tengyi, he used his reward points to manifest the Universal Dictionary, leaving the other side quests for later. For him, the most important thing was to continue developing his dictionary abilities; nothing else was a concern.

And some dictionary abilities that exceed its own capacity... cannot be solved with the current side quests.

The same logic applies to Zero Point's inability to withstand the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception... Ultimately, their physical size is insufficient. Even with extremely strong physical self-healing or mental willpower, they cannot withstand such a terrifying backlash at the first-tier level. The best way to solve these problems is to increase their own gene lock level.

Zhang Jie's two returns to the horror movie world yielded results that were unimaginable for ordinary reincarnation teams... He decided to keep his own opinion to himself and offer assistance to the others if needed, but Mu Xiang gave him a different suggestion.

“Thanks to your guide privileges, you are able to fully utilize your existing abilities… For those whose realm is no higher than yours, you are indeed a mid-level fourth-tier being. But this time, when facing Muroshi, you should have realized that your realm is still somewhat insufficient.” Mu Xiang said, “Before, you shared the side quests with everyone because you had the resources. But now that we are facing increasingly stronger opponents, my suggestion is to find ways to enhance yourselves.”

Mu Xiang had already discussed the possibility of other systems with Zhang Jie. After all, Zhang Jie already possessed intermediate-level fourth-order mental power, but if they continued with the gene-lock system, he would become a healer who couldn't govern himself. No one can escape their inner demons, and the inner demons of mental power controllers have always been a theoretically unsolvable and practically non-existent problem.

The reason it is said to be non-existent is that, let alone legendary-level mental power controllers who have not overcome their inner demons, even high-level mental power controllers comparable to the third level are rare. After all, they are walking the gates of the lower dimensions, and corruption and distortion are only a matter of time.

The Celestial Serpent Clan painstakingly crafted their spirit puppets with this very consideration in mind... and the terrifying power of a mental controller trapped in inner demons is unimaginable.

If the inner demons were to completely spiral out of control, triggering a dark backlash in the sea of ​​the mind, it would be a catastrophe worthy of being recorded in history... In Mu Xiang's memory, there was only one record of such an event.

The extremely powerful mental controller went out of control and went berserk, causing all those present to disappear, including two high-ranking saints, nine ordinary saints, and the complete extinction of the 64th race of the primordial world at that time... Everything was annihilated in this catastrophe, leaving only this legend.

Therefore, when Zhang Jie enters the fourth stage of the gene lock, he will become the biggest threat to the Central Continent team... Even if Mu Xiang could become a near-saint at that time, he would not be confident in dealing with the loss of control of a fourth-stage mental power controller without casualties.

He couldn't possibly kill Zhang Jie, could he?
