Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 342 The Last Day

On the tenth day in the God's Space, Mu Xiang suspended all training, allowing everyone to relax or practice on their own.

Lunch was out of the question that day, as most of them had been rigorously trained and, knowing the next match would be a team battle, had put in extra effort. After the training was suspended on the tenth day, they slept straight through until the afternoon and couldn't get up even when they thought about it.

Mu Xiang got up early and went to the Main God Space. As expected, no one was there. He couldn't help but smile and went back to his room to meditate.

According to Mu Xiang and Zhang Jie's training methods, if their energy and physical strength are depleted during training, they will naturally receive repair from the main god; however, if training is over, they will not need to rely on the main god to restore their energy or physical strength. Returning to their rooms to rest and allowing their bodies to recover on their own will allow their physical body and energy to improve.

Pausing training on the last day also gives them a recovery period... Otherwise, excessive recovery would turn into overtraining, which would be counterproductive.

Mu Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, and simply by closing his eyes and meditating, without even mobilizing energy or consciousness, he was able to clearly understand the situation inside his body.

During these ten days, he, Zheng Zha, and Zhang Jie were also exhausted. However, this fatigue did not come from ordinary ability training, nor from the most intense combat training, but from training specifically for the fourth-order gene lock.

As they progressed deeper into the fourth-tier gene lock, Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's resistance to their berserk consciousness grew stronger, preventing them from losing control immediately upon activation. However, if they did lose control, the consequences would be far more severe. Now, when the two of them went berserk together, even Zhang Jie was finding it somewhat difficult.

However, Zheng Zha's development of his abilities is still impressive. Introducing berserk energy into the black flames has almost become his instinct... Although it is impossible for the black flames to completely contain it and there is still a possibility of him going berserk, it has both slowed down the berserk process and improved the level of the black flames.

Guiding the power of the mind is the path to unlocking the light of the soul...

Mu Xiang still needs the Clear Moon to integrate the rage into his power. Although it can enhance the power, it seems to be quite different from Zheng Zha's method, and he doesn't expect to be able to guide the light of the soul through this.

"My inner light... no, I haven't even seen a shadow of my inner demons yet." Mu Xiang laughed self-deprecatingly. Right now, the most important thing is to make the team battle in Resident Evil 2 foolproof, not to think about these things, right?
Absolutely foolproof...

Of course, while Zheng Zha was focused on the black flames, Mu Xiang wasn't idle either. In addition to training to unlock the fourth-tier gene lock, he was also paying close attention to his own physical body.

In "Halloween," he unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock and went on a killing spree, gaining a significant boost. Looking back, that body was truly suited for the Candle, as both his maximum output and recovery ability improved dramatically.

The rumor that the fourth-order gene lock can fill in any gaps is not surprising... especially since Mu Xiang's genes have become Kryptonian genes, it seems reasonable to develop something from them to fill in the gaps.

But Mu Xiang knew something was wrong.

The enhancement of the God's bloodline does not completely change one's genes. Whether you are human or vampire, there is always a special part of you that makes you who you are. After entering the fourth-tier gene lock, Mu Xiang's understanding of this became even clearer. Every time he recalled activating the fourth-tier gene lock, he would marvel at how this part of his genes could be used in such a way.

So that's the crux of the problem. He's certain that when the fourth-order gene lock was unlocked, many genes weren't extracted from a portion of the Kryptonian bloodline, but rather from his own genes. And it's these genes that make Kryptonian energy operate more efficiently, allow the light of the Candle to exert a stronger effect, and so on, countless others.

"That's true... but I'm not infinitely diverse." Mu Xiang thought of this, still completely baffled. "Am I not a fucking normal human being?"

Damn it, could it be that my original genes could actually enhance my fourth-tier combat style?!
If it were just about accelerating healing, Mu Xiang could barely accept it... but it's strange that it's related to extraordinary energy.

Zheng Zha is an infinitely diverse person, and it makes some sense that he has other extraordinary genes hidden in his body... But how could Mu Xiang, as a transmigrator, possibly have genes that are compatible with extraordinary energy? Moreover, this compatibility is highly specialized.

Is it that Kryptonian blood is exclusively mine, or am I exclusively a Kryptonian bloodline?

Such absurd ideas would occasionally pop into Mu Xiang's head, something he still couldn't understand.

Am I actually a local who went abroad to gain international experience?

Mu Xiang couldn't quantify all of these genes yet. He could only instinctively distinguish whether they belonged to the human Mu Xiang or the Kryptonian Mu Xiang... and had a vague understanding of their respective effects.

Aside from a portion of genes that are highly compatible with Kryptonian energy, some genes have yet to be fully utilized by the fourth-order gene lock. Although there have been records of them being activated by the fourth-order gene lock, they do not seem to have played a true role.

This is the question that puzzles Mu Xiang the most right now.

Zheng Zha, meanwhile, was watching a movie with Loli in his arms. Today's film wasn't a horror movie, but a lighthearted old comedy. Although Loli had seen it countless times since childhood, she always watched it with great interest. However, Zheng Zha's attention was elsewhere. He inhaled the fragrance of Loli's hair, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

Zhang Jie, on the other hand, was spending time with his wife to strengthen their relationship. Since there was no training during the day, he naturally wanted to get down to business...

Zhan Lan, waking up in the afternoon, wasn't groggy from her long sleep. On the contrary, having exhausted all her mental energy the night before, she felt refreshed. Upon waking, she felt completely recharged. After eating some food, she prepared to write in her diary. After all, she was going to the horror movie world after dinner tonight, so she had to finish her diary entry before bed.

Every time she picked up her notebook, she couldn't help but think of him, who had already passed away... Turning the pages that recorded the life of the Zhongzhou team, Zhan Lan silently wrote a new entry.

“Almost every time, new people create their own life forms…some are their family members, some are their lovers, some…” “But I still don’t want to do that, because what’s created then isn’t the real you…then what about you who’s already left? And what about the one I’m still missing?”

"I still miss you so much... but I will live on, just like you said, and live on with my friends... I did what I promised you."

At midnight, he was holding his little sister watching cartoons. Although he didn't have many forms of entertainment, he was beaming with enjoyment. Anyone else who saw that expression would likely be quite surprised.

As usual, Ba Wang was strengthening his relationship with his wife...

Following Mu Xiang's advice, Zhao Yingkong suspended her almost self-torturing self-training during the day... Today she did not go to the basement, but instead walked lightly and ethereally in the empty room. Every now and then, several other Zhao Yingkongs would appear, flashing by or turning into dark shadows with her.

During her occasional breaks, she would pick up a book and read her favorite passages. She casually picked up a book she was still reading, opened it, and was suddenly stunned by the delicate handwriting.

These were indeed her annotations, but the book belonged to Mu Xiang… After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yingkong picked up her pen and continued writing.

A book hung beside Qi Tengyi—a Grade A encyclopedia of all languages… Thank goodness, with Zhan Lan's support, he was able to exchange for it. The dictionary series exchange is quite unique: first, you can't exchange for a higher-level dictionary without fully manifesting the lower-level versions; second, there's no inherent power increase between higher-level and lower-level versions. This is also why the Central Continent Team didn't initially allocate any side quests to him.

But now, Qi Tengyi felt like he had struck gold. After spending some reward points, the Wanyu Dictionary had produced many long and complex sentences that he needed, which perfectly matched the other languages ​​he had compiled. Because of this, he was comparing the existing arrangement and details with the grammar of the Wanyu Dictionary.

Although it's impossible to fill the dictionary in the next team battle, and the process might even be terrifyingly long... but that's exactly what Qi Tengyi needs!

Long Taobing was still honing his skills. He knew the importance of the healer and the ever-changing battlefield situation, so he had to make no mistakes and provide support to everyone who needed it! Looking at his focused face under the holy light, his girl smiled gently and sat quietly to the side, waiting for him to finish his practice.

Liu Xi sat silently at her desk, surrounded by calculation problems she had redeemed from the Supreme God. These problems, which were beyond the realm of humanity, were nothing more than ordinary training for her. Adapting to the quantum brain and training her computational abilities were inseparable from these materials.

After finishing the last book of the day, she silently put down her pen without making any further movements.

Mu Xiang's words echoed in her ears; they were her requirements for the next match... but these requirements contradicted their cooperation.

"What does he want to do?"

Zhang Heng hesitated, looking at the green mask in his hand. He wondered what had gotten into Mu Xiang that made him hand the mask over so readily. Now, Zhang Heng no longer felt the same impulsiveness he had before. Firstly, he was gradually getting used to the mask's call to him; secondly, he was terrified that Mu Xiang would tear him apart alive…

The telekinetic floating cannons swirled behind him; this low-power control allowed him to best perceive the subtle connection between the floating cannons and life force.

Zhu Wen sat cross-legged amidst the deathly stillness of the cemetery, surrounded by scattered skeletons. But she was no longer afraid of them; the granite giant rising from the ground before her gave her a sense of peace.

But that's not enough; she needs to cultivate more necromantic energy... Only the part beyond that of the granite giant can she use freely.

This was a promise she made to Mu Xiang.

Xu Lin sped through the basement, his Tiger Armor completely enveloping him, making him feel invincible! Especially after acquiring the Gene Lock, he became even more adept at controlling the armor.

After launching all the miniature missiles he had loaded, perfectly hitting several targets below, Xu Lin landed with a somersault, letting out a triumphant roar. Although he had forgotten about his mask and his own voice made his ears hurt, he couldn't hide his excitement.

Sure enough, his aim, combined with this armor, really came in handy...

"If...if only I had that power back then..."

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to make final preparations.

As dusk fell, the members of the Central Continent Team had gathered in the square, watching the light of the Supreme God grow ever brighter.

Only then did Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha emerge from Mu Xiang's room. Noticing the somewhat surprised looks from the crowd, they said nothing, simply standing aside, waiting for the pillar of light to descend. Lori, standing not far away, cast an encouraging glance.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Everyone, get ready..."

Twenty beams of light descended from the sky, and the voice of the supreme god echoed in everyone's ears.

"Enter the beam of light within thirty seconds. Target locked. Resident Evil 2 initiating teleportation..."
