Chapter 300 Arrows

After spending the entire day acquiring the two "arrows" of Morioh, Katz returned to his hotel.

After returning to my room, I used the room phone to book a flight to Italy for the next day.

His target was naturally the arrows in the organization's hands, but before that, he had some time to study the two arrows in his hands.

Kaz sat on the sofa, admiring his spoils.

For an ultimate life form, there is no experimental subject more perfect than itself.

He can sense and control every cell in his body; no microscopic change can escape his control.

With a thought, a small piece of tissue separated from his fingertip, wriggling on the table like a piece of living clay, and transformed into a squirrel.

Then the squirrel came to the first arrow it had obtained from Nijimura's house.

He controlled the cluster of cells, making it gently touch the rusty arrow.

In an instant, a heterogeneous "information" was perceived.

It was a virus-like entity, but its structure was far more complex than any known pathogen on Earth.

Like a miniature, self-willed intrusion program, it begins to attempt to invade his cell wall through the point of contact, trying to tamper with the internal genetic information and replicate itself.

It really was a virus.

A look of amusement appeared on Kaz's face.

He released the protection he had placed on the cluster of cells, allowing the tiny intruder to penetrate unimpeded.

However, the cells of the ultimate organisms, with their vitality and adaptability, represent the ultimate manifestation of four billion years of life evolution on Earth.

Although the foreign virus was strange, its rate of invasion was as slow as glacial drift in the face of his cells, which were as indestructible as a divine realm.

Each time a virus replicates, the immune mechanisms and repair functions within the cell easily neutralize, break down, and absorb it.

This was after he actively suppressed most of the immune response.

This efficiency is far too low.

Kaz shook his head slightly. It seemed that the physique of an ultimate life form had become an obstacle at this moment.

He was unable to observe all the phenomena that this virus could cause in ordinary organisms on his own.

With a casual wave of his hand, the window slid open silently.

A sparrow that happened to be flying by seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, defying the laws of physics, and flew in, hovering in front of him.

Kars extended his finger and, using the power of the Pillar Man, instantly invaded a portion of his cells into the sparrow's body, completely taking over its life system.

Then, he picked up the arrow and used the arrowhead to gently cut a small wound on the sparrow's wing.

The next moment, the sparrow's body began to convulse violently, and its tiny feathers stood on end.

In Katz's unique cellular perception, the virus surged into the sparrow's circulatory system like a flood bursting its banks.

It bypasses conventional immune cells, directly attacking nerves and organs, replicating and spreading wildly in a savage and efficient manner.

The sparrow's body temperature rose sharply, its heart rate soared to its limit, and all its physiological indicators collapsed at a visible speed, showing severe symptoms of septic shock and high fever.

On the verge of death.

That's it……

Kaz's gaze became focused. He immediately mobilized the cells parasitizing the sparrow's body, releasing precisely measured amounts of life energy, like a top-of-the-line extracorporeal circulation machine, forcibly maintaining the bird's heartbeat and breathing, keeping it constantly hovering on the edge of life and death.

Time passed slowly. About ten minutes later, the viral storm in the sparrow's body seemed to have reached a threshold, and its replication rate began to slow down. Miraculously, the bird's various physiological indicators also stabilized under Kaz's care.

It turned out to be the case.

After this meticulous observation, Katz finally understood the true nature of the "arrow".

In the storyline of the world he knew, awakening a Stand wasn't limited to being pierced by an arrow.

The descendants of the Joestar family awakened their Stands by resonating with the body of Jonathan Joestar, which was stolen by DIO.

There are also exceptional cases like Muhammad Abuder, who were born with the ability to use a Stand.

Therefore, the more accurate definition of the "arrow" and the virus it carries should be a "key".

A key that can forcibly unlock the door to human potential.

A "stand" is the manifestation of spiritual energy.

And it is precisely in extreme environments that the human spirit is most likely to unleash a power that transcends the norm.

Whether it's a life-or-death moment or unbearable despair, both can become catalysts for spiritual transformation.

This special virus, at the biological level, forcibly creates this "near-death" extreme state for its host, thereby compelling its spiritual power to evolve and manifest.

Having figured this out, Kaz couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

If that's the principle, then awakening his Stand will probably be quite troublesome for him.

His body could not possibly be "dying," and any virus or injury would be meaningless to him.

His gaze then fell on the second arrow.

This arrow, obtained from the Kira family, is different from the one from the Nijimura family. It is more similar to the Italian Insect Arrow and is an arrow that can evolve Stands.

In the original story, when Yoshikage Kira was cornered, the arrow would even respond to his intense mental fluctuations and pierce his body on its own.

So, will this special "arrow" be useful to him?

An idea popped into Kaz's mind, carrying a hint of challenge.

He didn't conduct any more external experiments, but instead picked up the arrow carved with the scarab beetle and aimed it at his chest.

Without the slightest hesitation, he forcefully thrust the arrow in.

The arrow pierced through the skin and muscle easily, and a cold, foreign sensation spread through the body.

As before, the virus entered his body through the wound. But this time, for the first time, Katz's expression changed.

This virus is completely different from the previous one.

If the virus in the first arrow was the invader, then the virus in this arrow is the conqueror.

It exhibited unimaginable activity and aggression, no longer tentatively eroding, but like a disciplined legion, launching a full-scale war directly against his cells.

Living things change themselves to adapt to their environment, and thus evolve.

As the ultimate life form, Kars's body has already evolved to its limit. He is adapted to all environments on this planet. He is perfect and does not need to evolve further.

But now, at this very moment, because of this unknown super virus from an extraterrestrial meteorite, Kars's evolutionary path, which had been dormant for 100,000 years, seems to have been forcibly pried open with a crack.

His body, the body he considered a perfect masterpiece, began to undergo an evolution that he could not foresee or control...
