Abyssal Wanderer.

Persephone Fanny's technology was genuinely researched for the Apollo biological zombie project.

Even the incomplete "Pegasus" is only incomplete in the "brain repair" function. But the "zombie switch" function is already complete.

Six Paths Theseus, a zombie puppet personally modified by Fanny, utilizes her most mature technological approach.

In this way, the aspect of the sun god is revealed.

So what about the aspect of Dionysus?

That's right, Jiang Zhou himself had already developed the iris bridge region, but Six Paths Theseus didn't. Even Hell Path, specializing in hacking abilities, didn't have the iris bridge region.

But at the Thracian Club, Jim Ritter was infected—the Dionysus virus had been maliciously injected into the emoticon projector he was connected to.

Someone had originally planned to use Jim to spread the Nyx Factor and the Dionysus virus to residents in the surrounding blocks. However, Jiang Zhou, who was connected to Jim through the Janus program, was also infected.

Next is Six Paths Theseus, who is connected to Jiang Zhou through the Puppet Circuit.

As the infection with the Dionysian virus deepened, Six-Path Theseus gradually transformed into Superman.

Silent, ruthless, focused, a superhuman who can intellectually treat ordinary humans like apes.

There were no conspiracies, no dark web AI, no secret arrangements by any board member... The Six Paths Theseus were always manipulated by themselves.

They carried out their operations based on the intelligence they obtained from themselves.

They figured out where the threat came from and worked together to develop and execute plans... No, perhaps many of them weren't plans at all, but rather improvisations based on the current situation.

They stand at a height beyond human intelligence, indifferently looking down upon the human social system.

Those plans woven by mortals are as clear to them as a few apples on a table.

The only ones qualified to challenge them are other infected individuals who are also superhumans.

Everything—whether it's the resettlement zone government or the Icarus Liberation Front, whether it's a professional team or a meme entity—is a pawn in their grand scheme.

Jiang Zhou tried to figure out the game between them, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could only glimpse a few fragments and could not see the whole picture of the scheme.

But the final result was that their strategy of exchanging pieces led to the current situation.

“I must say that your six brethren have a greater impact on our plans than Jim’s resurrection.”

Baptiste's statement can be seen as an admission of Jiang Zhou's speculation.

Yes, Jim's death was the beginning of it all.

It has nothing to do with Jiang Zhou, nor with Six Paths Theseus.

Eri Hayashibara's sudden shooting was no coincidence; she was sent there to assassinate Jim—to cover it up as a crime of passion.

"If it weren't for those unforeseen variables, the entire Hui family could have evolved into superhumans along with us... and we wouldn't have had to throw them out as a smokescreen."

Baptiste suddenly spoke up.

Jim, who was in the flying car some distance away, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

He suddenly understood something.

Why are there so many zombies in the Hayashihara family?

"You bastard!"

Unable to distinguish whether the anger stemmed from himself or Jim, Jiang Zhou cursed directly.

Baptiste's voice, coming through the loudspeaker, carried a hint of laughter.

"Just guess... what's the probability of turning someone into a superhuman when the Dionysus virus combines with the Apollo virus?" Hayashihara Eri said it was ten percent, because her whole family died, and she was the only one who turned into a superhuman.

But whether it was the driver of that all-terrain vehicle, Duanmu Youxue, or Wang Ying's colleagues, they were all clearly in a state of superhuman virus infection...

"It's almost 100%."

As he spoke, Baptiste burst into wild laughter.

"Hahahaha... Xiaohui's family members were not actually infected with the Dionysus virus. I just added some electronic hallucinogens to the mimicry they saw, and then she recklessly injected the whole family with the Primal Apollo virus. And because the dosage was too large, it completely formatted their personalities, and the Dionysus virus could not remedy it afterward."

"Buzz buzz buzz—Boom!!"

The electromagnetic railgun on Jiang Zhou's shoulder fired again.

Although the bullets still passed through his ghostly body and hit the elevator station behind him, they still silenced Baptiste.

"In short, thank you very much for your explanation, mortician."

Baptiste drew out the words "mortician" as if he were deliberately implying that he knew his true identity.

Then he turned to the draftsman and said:

"With the mortician's testimony, you should be able to believe that 'Superhumanization' will allow you to fully master these Depth 7 equipment, right? In fact, it's not just Depth 7; Superhumanization is a complete leap in intelligence. From now on, when you look at your peers, even other Coordinators who have reached the limits of human intelligence, you will be able to look at them like monkeys."

Baptiste's words revealed an irresistible allure.

It's indeed hard to refuse—after all, who can refuse to become smarter?
After all, in modern human society, even if one's intelligence is only slightly higher than that of others, one can leverage unimaginable resources.

The superhumanization process has given people the intelligence to regard their former kind as monkeys, which is already an evolutionary revolution.

The illustrator was clearly interested.

Jiang Zhou observed that the "Hellfire Furnace Core" at the center of the enemy's body began to produce a high-energy reaction—this was a sign that he was charging his armor.

He had already decided to kill himself.

"But what is the cost of becoming superhuman?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiang Zhou played this card directly.

"Perhaps the only price is loneliness, imagine living in a world full of monkeys... and whatever the price, you can solve it with your wisdom that far surpasses that of the past."

Baptiste Road.

Jiang Zhou scoffed at this.

"If there's no cost, why are you all so concerned about Jim Reit? Why don't you just use your super intelligence to escape from the Nord settlement and enjoy the wonderful life of looking down on those monkeys outside?"

Seeing that Baptiste had stopped speaking, Jiang Zhou realized that he had not guessed wrong.

"Hayahara Eri told me what her second wish was—to bestow upon all mankind extraordinary wisdom and eternal harmony. Extraordinary wisdom, I now understand what that is. Indeed, the wisdom of superhumans reaches a level that humans cannot comprehend."

"Tell me, what does that eternal harmony refer to?"

If all six members of Theseus are superhuman, then why... do they lack self-awareness?

Combined with what he said earlier, the other members of the Lin Yuan family had their personalities completely formatted due to the excessive dosage of the Apollo virus injection, and the Dionysus virus could not remedy the situation afterward.

The answer is obvious.

"So-called eternal harmony means losing self-awareness forever, right?"

"And Jim Ritter, the only one who has awakened self-awareness, is your last hope." (End of Chapter)
