Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Then, for some unknown reason, the terrifying roar seemed to cause a strange change throughout Innsmouth; the road beneath their feet seemed to be greatly lengthened and distorted.

It took them half a night and a whole day to barely escape Innsmouth's radiation range.

Kingston let out a deep breath and said, "Hurry! There's a military camp not far ahead. Tell them to leave here immediately and retreat back to Arkham."

"Yes!" Joseph's face was also very pale at this moment, and Gina and the others who were weaker had already turned pale, their hands trembling uncontrollably.

The youngest, Karma, had already lost the ritual and was being carried on Kingston's back.

"What is this thing? It's terrifying. If it weren't for our captain, we would all be dead inside by now," said Ruger, the trap expert in the team, in a low voice.

During their escape, they clearly felt that they were moving away from that terrifying presence, but they still felt an unknown, heavy presence pressing down on their souls, constantly whispering in their ears, and driving their reason to madness.

Kingston said in a low voice, "Don't think too much about it. Our goal now is to escape from here and then report the intelligence we have to Mayor Arkham."

They have a lot of alarming intelligence to report right now.

First, those monsters that were transformed from humans, although they were only level twelve minions after complete mutation, could reach level fifteen in combat power once they came into contact with a lot of water.

Such data is terrifying, because these monsters, which resemble deep-diving creatures, have a much stronger body structure than humans. Their scales can absorb about 40% of the damage from bullets, and their spikes are as sharp as iron knives.

However, these monsters are not the most crucial element; the most crucial element is the invisible whisper.

The whispers that kept ringing in your ears were constantly sketching out the darkest and most insane things in your heart, and these superhuman beings still had a fairly firm will.

Of those who fled with them, seven more transformed into terrifying monsters over the course of those dozen or so hours, while the rest fell into a state of mental confusion, teetering on the brink of mutation.

Fortunately, they managed to leave the area affected by the strange whispers by the afternoon.

"The whispers had a radius of at least five kilometers, and the source was still unknown, but if nothing unexpected happened, it must be that unknown monster in the sea," Kingston said with certainty.

As they moved quickly forward, the sound of a car engine came from the opposite direction.

Looking up, I saw several military vehicles driving towards us.

Kingston waved hurriedly.

After the military vehicle stopped, a square-faced officer with a resolute appearance stepped out; it was Captain Oyok.

“What happened?” Captain Oyok asked.

Kingston exclaimed urgently, "Captain! The entire city of Innsmouth has fallen! Unknown monsters have descended upon it, and all the residents have been transformed into monsters!"

Oyok frowned slightly; he naturally wouldn't believe this man's words so easily: "Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

Kingston and Joseph exchanged a glance, their faces showing a dilemma. As an extraordinary Oathbringer, he didn't want the officer to know too much, but letting them go like this would only increase casualties.

Just then, a calm voice came from the awkward moment.

"Captain, he's right, he is the spy sent by the mayor."

Upon hearing this, the two men were stunned. They turned around and saw Jik leading two other Arkham policemen walking over from the military vehicle behind them.

"Officer Zeke!" Upon seeing Officer Zeke, whom they had once suspected of being a monster, Kingston and the others were overjoyed, as if they had seen an angel descend.

Upon hearing this, Oyok led Jike aside and said, "The mayor of Arkham wants us to meet them?"

Jike nodded: "Yes, Innsmouth is extremely dangerous right now. They know intelligence about what's inside Innsmouth, and the mayor's intention is to leave as soon as possible after picking them up."

"You also need to abandon the entire camp and withdraw the troops back to Arkham."

Oyok frowned slightly. The retreat of the military camp was a major event, and he couldn't make the decision on it himself, since he was still under the command of the regimental commander.

Jike calmly said, "Don't worry, your commander should have received the Queen's orders by now."

Oyok's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, then he nodded knowingly and said to his men, "Get these wounded people into the vehicles! Retreat!!"

Chapter 0150: No more pretense, the truth is out.

Arkham City Hall. Los, Daryl, Charles, Major General Pigo, Elizabeth, Dr. Laban, Danny, and Dr. Armitage, eight people sat in the conference room.

Apart from the person in charge, the four most influential municipal representatives in Arkham have all arrived. These four individuals represent more than 70% of Arkham's total wealth.

They had just finished listening to Kingston's report, and the soldiers of the Third Independent Regiment of Massa, located on the outskirts of Innsmouth, would be withdrawing to Arkham in three hours.

Major General Pig said with a grim expression, "The Third Independent Legion cannot be withdrawn. They will be the first line of defense against those monsters. As soldiers of the Empire, it is their duty."

Elizabeth's eyes widened immediately: "What do you mean by their duty? If that's the case, General, your soldiers are also soldiers of the Empire. As the army guarding Massa Province, the matter of Innsmouth is simply within your duties."

"The Third Independent Corps' primary duty isn't protecting the Massa province; their mission is to guard the coastline!"

boom!

Major General Pig slammed his hand down and hissed, "Clark, know your place. There's no room for you to speak here."

Elizabeth was naturally not afraid of him, but just as she was about to speak, Los interrupted her, saying, "Major General, although Miss Clark's words are somewhat extreme, her direction is not wrong. According to Kingston's report, that monster has the power to corrupt minds. We should gather all our forces first, and then think about countermeasures."

Major General Piggle glanced at Los and said indifferently, "Leaving aside whether what that Kingston said is credible, you have no right to comment on this matter. You just need to take care of your citizens."

Los smiled after listening, looked around and said, "You said you'd call everyone together for a meeting to discuss countermeasures, but then you said none of us have the right to speak. Isn't that a bit too much? After all, this matter jeopardizes the stability of the entire Arkham and threatens our own interests."

Major General Pigu sneered: "These are extraordinary times, so extraordinary measures must be taken. Everything is for the benefit of the Empire. I didn't call you here today to discuss anything with you."

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this, but Los said calmly, "Major General, if that's the case, then it won't be interesting."

"Oh? Then tell me, what's so interesting about it?" With that, Major General Pig raised his hand. Instantly, the door and the walls on both sides were smashed open, and genetically engineered warriors wielding bizarre flesh-and-blood weapons and clad in armor rushed in.

These people generally possess strength above level 20, and the strange weapons they wield, writhing with flesh and blood, exude a powerful danger.

Also entering at the same time were Barlow and Helen, two powerful superhumans.

Elizabeth and Dr. Laban's expressions changed, and they looked at Los. They had come at Los's invitation, and if it involved him and the military setting a trap to kill them both, they would have no chance of resistance!

Major General Pig turned his gaze to Los and sneered, "I know your methods very well. Do you really think the Empire can't even deal with a mere mayor like you? The reason I've kept you here is simply to use you to summon all these municipal councilors so that I can deal with them all at once."

Los remained calmly seated in his chair, not even glancing up at the arrogant Major General Pig, and sighed, "I thought we still had room for cooperation, but since you've said that, it would be too unethical for me to keep lying like this."

"Oh? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? You can use them right away." Major General Pig had a confident smile on his face.

At this moment, his elite troops completely surrounded the place, the entire building was filled with his people, and he also had a senior investigator from the Eye of Insight by his side, as well as Danny who had been successfully turned to the side. No matter how this guy in his early twenties rolled around, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble!

Los leaned back comfortably in his chair, slightly reclining, and said to Charles beside him, "What are you still looking at? Stop pretending, it's time to lay your cards on the table!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, including Piglet. The next second, under the horrified gazes of Piglet, Elizabeth, and Dr. Laban, Charles, as Major General Piglet's most trusted confidant, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Master."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Pigsy felt as if struck by lightning, his mind going completely blank.

Before he could react, Danny, Barlow, and Helen attacked simultaneously. Three superhumans above level 30, each with their own special abilities, simultaneously attacking a gene warrior in the early 20s—it was an absolutely crushing massacre.

In an instant, a bloody battle ensued. When Elizabeth and Dr. Laban came to their senses, they were shocked to find that all twenty genetically engineered warriors in the circle had lost their ability to move.

As Pigu stared at the splattering blood, his eyes widened, and he roared, "Then let's all die together!" Immediately, the twenty-odd genetically engineered warriors could be seen raising their hands to strike their own heads.

In that instant, countless jet-black hairs suddenly appeared, pouring in like a flood from the windows, roof, doors, and walls on both sides, instantly engulfing these genetic warriors.

"What the hell is this?!" Major General Pig felt that his whole body was completely bound by these hairs, and he even lost the ability to move his fingers.

Elizabeth and Dr. Laban stood there, stunned, their strange hair radiating a chilling aura, each strand like a steel wire.

They brushed past them, rubbing against their skin; so smooth and soft, yet they sent shivers down their spines. When it was all over, the black tide had receded.

Elizabeth's eyes regained focus, and she saw Major General Pig and more than twenty gene warriors hanging from the ceiling, bound by countless black threads, like objects entangled in spider silk.

At this moment, Lilith quietly appeared beside Los, and behind her, her hair, which was of unknown length, stretched out from the doorway to an unknown distance.

Los patted Lilith's cheek with satisfaction, stood up and looked at Major General Pig, who was hanging in mid-air, and said, "Let's talk this out. Why did you have to smash the wall? My city hall is very precious."

At this moment, Charles, Barlow, and Helen knelt on the ground with respectful expressions. Charles then whispered, "Master, Pig has a special token that can be used to mobilize the army on his behalf."

Upon hearing this, Major General Pig's face was filled with disbelief and anger: "You! You! You monster! What have you done to them?!"

Los smiled and said, "It's nothing, it just gave them new hope."

Chapter 0151 The Consolidation of Power

Major General Pigu never imagined that his early fame, his lifelong battles, and the imminent rise to the rank of general would end in such an unbelievable, humiliating, and desperate way in this small town.

Suspended in mid-air by that jet-black hair, his skin could clearly feel that each strand of hair seemed to possess its own life. They even seemed to be constantly eyeing the pores on his skin, waiting for their master's command so that they would frantically burrow in and devour everything in their target.

Just thinking about all of this is terrifying and fills one with dread.

The sight of that hair alone made Major General Pigu turn pale and tremble inwardly.

The hair outside seemed to confirm his earlier guess. Just as he was worrying, the hair on his body suddenly began to wriggle, like countless self-aware nematodes, raising their bodies and burrowing into his body.

This immediately terrified Major General Pigu.

As a core member of the military, although not a high-ranking official, he was very clear about the military's plans.

He had seen many of his own people use various methods to torture the enemy and conduct related experiments, including similar methods.

Ignorance breeds contempt, but the more one knows, the more one understands the pain and terror of such methods.

"No! No! Don't burrow into my skin!" Major General Pigu screamed suddenly, sounding like a frightened little girl.

Elizabeth was immediately alarmed when she saw Pige's appearance. She knew this relatively young major general to some extent. Having experienced a great deal of bloodshed on the battlefield, he should possess considerable courage. She couldn't imagine what kind of methods could frighten this iron-blooded general into such a state of disarray.

Los was also somewhat surprised, and tilted his head slightly to ask Charles, "What's wrong with him?"

Charles explained, "In military experiments, there is a method called the muscle worm parasitism experiment."

"Through special abilities, they can cultivate a muscle worm with instinctive activity. This worm is very thin, like a threadworm, and it has an innate fascination and attraction to human muscles."

"The military uses these muscle worms to test the strength and potential of the muscles in test subjects, and to perform preliminary modifications on targets by fusing the muscle worms with the muscles."

"The modification method involves letting those insects burrow into the human's pores and gradually gnaw on the flesh under the target's skin. The whole process is extremely terrifying and painful. More than 99% of the test subjects will suffer a mental breakdown during this incident and become like this walking corpse, perfectly controlled by the military."

As Charles spoke, he looked at the gene warriors who never spoke and were like robots.

Upon hearing this, even Danny's expression changed slightly, and Dr. Laban's eyes twitched twice, indicating his shock.

Dr. Armitage was pale, as if he had been frightened.

Los smiled after hearing this: "No wonder!"

As Major General Pigu struggled and roared, the hair did not pierce his skin, but instead pulled out an oval-shaped metal object with a special pattern on it from his pocket.

Los casually tossed the thing to Charles and said, "You're in charge of things outside the city."

"understand!"

Turning to look at the more than twenty gene warriors who were suspended, one could clearly see from the cross-section of their wounds that the muscles in the blood seemed to have a life of their own, constantly writhing and performing other combinations, trying to stitch the wounds back together.

"The idea of ​​completely fibrousizing the muscle structure is good, but unfortunately, you used the wrong method."

"Lilith, send these guys to a sanatorium and see if Dr. Murthy has any relevant modification methods. After all, they are quite a fighting force."

"Yes, Master."
