Deep in the Living Chapter 204

Fish bone sticks full of active spikes are inserted in the sand, tightly grasping one of Hua Yuan’s arms. Surrounding them are scattered various pale pieces of flesh. The village chief still hangs in the air, maintaining a posture of hands clasped together, his human body almost unscathed. It’s rather the beach around the village chief that is littered with colors, colors that no longer flow or shimmer. That ethereal and substantial mass of color had a small part destroyed, only the surface layers, and it did not significantly affect the main body. The utterly dismembered Shea lay on the open ground hundreds of meters away. One side of her skull and some parts of her brain tissues were destroyed, thankfully the zombie’s nature survives without a brain, as long as the pituitary is intact. Although this is the case, the exposed pituitary is also tainted with color, and her thought processes have begun to be affected. Hua Yuan lay even further away, her body twisted like a pretzel, her head crushed, dead beyond dead. The already weakened Shea just felt nauseous when Hua Yuan crawled directly out from within her, making her already shattered zombie body even worse, and her limbs deflated like balloons. Hua Yuan did not express gratitude, as if this was part of their battle plan, for Hua Yuan to fight desperately while the zombie body bears the consequences. But such a battle plan was not ideal. Hua Yuan’s corner of mouth twitched gently, "Shea, if you don’t bring out your trump card now, both of us will die here... Surely you have more than this, right?" "Hua, wait a moment! I need to confirm something." In just ten minutes of engagement, Shea confirmed two things, The current [Monster Avatar], though incomplete, possesses a special ability ’targeting Pseudo-People’, any form of Corner energy once close would be neutralized and dissipated. Whether it’s viruses, Hua Yuan’s Invasion or Eyemie’s Pupil Skill, all immune. The only things that could cause damage were the most basic physical attacks, and the strange fish bone stick that Hua Yuan got from the game. the chances of victory for Shea, even pulling out her ultimate trump card, remained frightfully low. She finally understood why the core sisters in the past died over the Warrant issue, why the "Warrant" could directly award them a high-level Corner identity. Difficult, too difficult! She must reconsider, must confirm one thing. She began communicating with the Eyemie parasitizing inside her: 『Muo, you knew about Isabella’s ’problem’ all along, right?』 『And the information she ultimately provided is completely reliable, right?』 『Hua Yuan and I will continue to hold this guy off, and then find an opportunity to go to the marked location, and you take Hua Yuan there. Once I use this special virus, I’ll completely lose myself, even you would be consumed. So you quickly go to Hua Yuan...』 The source of thɪs content is novelFɪre.net Eyemie did not say much, she had long peered into Shea’s zombie body, very aware of the dangerously chaotic virus material hidden deep inside, a completely disordered virus sample. A giant eyeball on the zombie’s chest grew black hair, connected to Hua Yuan nearby. Eyemie also perfectly adapted to Hua Yuan’s body, even more so than Shea. As Hua Yuan sticks out her tender tongue, a small eye opened on the surface of her tongue coating. Eyemie seems to grow eyeballs in the most suitable positions according to different hosts’ characteristics, to achieve the best symbiosis effect. Hua Yuan also gained several times the visual amplification. "Wow! It’s been a long time since I felt such clear vision. Unfortunately, this means I can’t adopt a ’suicidal’ combat style anymore, I can regenerate through thoughts, but you can’t, Eyemie. Shea, you lead the attack! Get ready..." Hua Yuan’s words abruptly stopped, for she smelled a dangerous scent not belonging to the Monster Avatar, moved aside, and watched the paraplegic Shea with a cautious look. A special virus was released inside her body, engulfing her whole body in just seconds, even devouring Shea’s own zombie virus. Shea’s pure white eyeballs began to leak streams of pitch-black sticky blood, like silk threads crawling on her face. Her broken, shriveled, and even brain-incomplete body began to swell and expand... swoosh! Her original limbs were devoured in reverse, and four irregular, unaesthetic, and chaotically deformed limbs regrew. Like a beast’s legs, carrying her torso to stand upright. Two swollen arms heavily hung down, even exceeding the length of her body. The seemingly chaotic arrangement, seemingly structureless limbs. they are swollen yet strong, stacked yet complete, and even in a chaotic evolutionary state, her body seems able to further evolve. This special virus almost drains every cell of potential in the body, even able to reverse-extract the power of Corners. The cost is the loss of self, reverting to the most primal zombie. Or perhaps this is Shea’s true concretized essence, what she has always maintained as [self] is more like a constraint of humanity, and her daily training also reinforces this constraint. As much as possible to make her seem human, rather than a zombie. This is her first true release of self since coming out of the Fighting Hall. As her self-conscience is lost, Shea’s white-haired head swallowed by the chaotic body, moved to a position slightly above the abdomen. Or perhaps the structure of the head was discarded, the pituitary guarded in the deepest part of her body. Shea still gritted her teeth and persisted, restraining the last vestige of her humanity to recognize Hua Yuan and Xiao Eye, to avoid accidentally harming them in the upcoming battle. Seeing such a crazy and chaotic physical depiction, Hua Yuan actually felt a strong sense of [Empathy], holding his face in his hands with an expression of madness, "Ah~ This is my most powerful little sister! This is why I love the Corner!" Shea’s beast-like legs stomped on the ground, kicking up a large amount of dirt and debris. She charged directly towards the village chief floating in the air. when Shea got within two meters, bang! Her body hit some kind of indestructible barrier, a hexagonal color barrier. Any threat that approached the village chief, whether it was a living being or an energy attack, would trigger this barrier. When Shea was blocked, several color tentacles, like tentacles from different directions, came attacking. Piercing through her body, dismantling, and shredding it. The recently formed chaotic flesh had its limbs destroyed again, and even the body itself was riddled with holes, the blood flowing out stained with abnormal colors. It seemed as if Shea’s chaotic mutation was of no use, and instead made her an easier target to kill. The head contracted in Shea’s abdomen suddenly grew sharp teeth and bit the surface of the color film, forcefully creating a crack in the film. Entwined between the teeth was a weird viral substance that could not be completely neutralized by the colors. This made the village chief, floating in the air, tilt his head slightly. [Cell 100% activated, ultra-fast forced regeneration] The limbs that were supposed to be severed by color, suppressed regeneration parts, somehow forcibly burst from the inside, growing white flesh masses of even higher chaos than limbs. It didn’t look like regeneration, but more like devouring and restructuring the original body structure. The newly grown [limbs] had neither fingers nor bones. All over the surface of the flesh were mouth-like structures, all gnawing at the color barrier. This situation clearly exceeded the village chief’s expectations, no longer clasping his hands together but instead manually controlling. Hand-controlling the colors, multiplying the quantity, power, and effect. Shea’s chaotic flesh was dismantled again, even more completely this time, even the torso was torn into pieces not larger than ten centimeters. there was still a chunk of flesh with a mouth stuck to the surface of the color barrier, completely shattering the last layer of the barrier. And those pieces of flesh that fell to the ground were still madly wriggling, proliferating, splitting, and trying to fuse. The Monster Avatar sensed a threat, and naturally wouldn’t give an opportunity. A downpour of colored tentacles lashed out towards the ground’s shredded flesh, intending to pulverize them completely and eradicate this strange zombie completely. At the critical moment, catching the perfect timing, catching the absolute gap in view, catching the angle that all the colored tentacles couldn’t react in time, In a "victim’s posture", Hua Yuan leapt into the air in her little shoes, throwing a flirtatious glance at the village chief, her small student body carrying a huge Fish Bone Stick. With no film to block, the stick firmly landed on the village chief’s head, The village chief’s head was smashed to pieces, splattering flesh. Just as Hua Yuan showed a smile, A bird-like screech emerged from the shattered brain of the village chief. The Hua Yuan, who was smiling just a second ago, was now bleeding from all orifices, instantly losing all contact with the Corner, crashing heavily from the sky. But the moment she landed, Hua Yuan relied on her willpower to hold on, and swiftly picked up the largest chunk of zombie flesh, covering her ears with both hands and ran off, running over a hundred meters away. "Is it... too late... ***" Hua Yuan and the Eye Sister parasitizing inside her body, both witnessed a scene they would never forget. The Monster Avatar and the village chief’s body had already completed their internal fusion. The destruction of the head did not truly affect the core of the Monster Avatar; rather, it triggered the ultimate Fusion. The initially seen [Human] and [Monster] are now merging into one. Countless colors madly surged into the middle of the village chief’s opened head, The village chief floating in the air slowly descended to the ground. Above his neck was not the shattered head tissue but a soaring bunch of splendid colorful tentacles, loftily looking down at all beings. The entire sea behind him was dyed with colors, shimmering brilliantly.
