Chapter 866: Great Terror, Mysterious Existence, About to be Born!

In the distance, the players' expressions shifted slightly. They had never imagined that one of their ultimate secrets would manifest here. While observing in secret, some of them were completely dumbfounded by what they saw.

Suddenly, someone asked, "We gave each of the three infants a 'cheat' – innate spiritual treasures, to match their disposition. One is a portable muscle system, another is three alchemy plugins created by someone. What was the third one?""A virus," came the reply."What?! You gave him a virus? Isn't Super Saiyan, with full divine genes, immune to viruses?""Precisely because he's immune, we gave him one. He won't be afraid, but others will be. Coupled with the spread of 'Buddha light' radiation, 'saving all sentient beings' is how he becomes the Victorious Fighting Buddha!""Your plans are certainly elaborate."

Some were stunned, realizing how meticulously and comprehensively they had prepared before arriving here. Each of them was a master strategist, having considered every angle, with dozens of rigorous plans. However, the unexpected leakage of such a meticulously prepared secret weapon, and the unforeseen consequences, were beyond their wildest imagination.

"So, what happens if a wild virus isn't controlled by the Pillar Gods?""We don't know.""That's precisely what we wanted to test. That's why we brought it. Our theory is that when the number of sub-viruses reaches a certain level, a new Pillar God of Fate might emerge. We aim to control this new Pillar God, which is why...""You've unleashed Pandora's Box!""But how did he escape? Could the Pillar God virus have secretly taken him?""It's hard to say. Perhaps it truly was the Pillar God virus's trickery!""But the Three Pillar Gods shouldn't be able to control a virus this far away, especially without a network connection."

"Boom!" The space railgun fired once more. This time, the Super Saiyan randomly jumped and teleported, appearing in locations even he couldn't predict, making it impossible for the enemy to target him.

"It's no use," the Thirteenth Prince said with a faint smile. "Such frantic, incessant jumping will quickly exhaust him. He's merely prolonging the inevitable." Although the opponent had killed the cloned gods and possessed significant energy reserves, he couldn't absorb and convert it in an emergency. Exhaustion was unavoidable.

"But what about that golden, glowing land of his? Is it radiation? A scorched-earth tactic? Is he using radiation to pollute our land and mutate our creatures?" The Thirteenth Prince was perplexed but still frowned. "Even if he's exhausted, his continuous jumping means our space railgun strikes will cause widespread spatial collapse."

Indeed. This was precisely why they avoided using it on their own planet. Because the opponent kept fleeing, they often had to pursue him with the orbital space cannon, disintegrating him as he moved. The areas where these space cannon blasts landed would result in urban destruction, casualties, and collapsed buildings. While the dripping, distorted spatial residues could be cleared afterward, it was a very difficult and troublesome process.

Boom, boom, boom! As he continued to flee through high-dimensional spacetime, the Super Saiyan gradually succumbed to exhaustion."As expected, he won't last much longer!""Our civilization is truly formidable!""What if he is the descendant of an ancient cosmic entity?"In front of their televisions, countless viewers watched the live broadcast, cheering wildly.

But soon, something terrifying occurred. On the irradiated ground, people suddenly felt their bodies twisting, experiencing a strange sensation. In the streets, someone abruptly let out a horrific, beast-like roar and lunged at others. The dreadful situation had fully escalated.

The Thirteenth Prince frowned at the scene. "What is this? Some kind of virus? Radiation-induced mutations?" They had, of course, conducted research into genetic bio-viruses."Your Highness, we..." someone began, their face tense, "if this continues, it will spread quickly.""Have the local authorities immediately quarantine the affected areas and broadcast a message for citizens to stay indoors. Do not allow them to go outside," the Thirteenth Prince commanded calmly. "This is wartime. As long as they don't go out and get infected, we will be fine. We are about to defeat the enemy; his actions are merely an attempt to make me cease, but we cannot fail now!""Yes, Your Highness!" an adjutant replied.

Soon, the entire region was sealed off. The streets filled with wandering, beast-like zombies. However, as it was a highly advanced civilization, the populace remained orderly, even arming themselves to defend against the creatures. For a time, the outbreak lacked any real destructive power. After all, the infected were ordinary mortals, not supernatural beings, and thus transformed into common zombies without special abilities. They posed no threat against the advanced defensive weaponry. Undoubtedly, a technological civilization effectively nullified the supernatural Pillar God virus. Had it infected a world of super-beings, the resulting supernatural zombies would have possessed terrifying destructive and infectious capabilities. For a time, it seemed the outbreak was being rapidly contained.

"This virus is quite weak," the Thirteenth Prince mused with a calm smile.However, something truly horrifying soon unfolded. Viruses, being living organisms, were undergoing rapid evolution within the high-dimensional spacetime of the insect race. A single day for them was equivalent to a hundred years. Thus, in what seemed like mere moments – just over ten minutes of infection – the virus underwent a terrifying iterative update. The first generation of variants emerged, and the zombies began to resist ordinary firearms.

The Thirteenth Prince, an exceptionally shrewd individual, had always kept an eye on his opponent's last resort. He frowned now, asking, "Is the infectious virus being monitored?""It is under surveillance and being analyzed," a subordinate confirmed. "In our highest-level scientific laboratory, with the life force of a cloned god burning to assist them, several scientists have entered high-dimensional spacetime. At this accelerated time flow, we will decipher the virus in less than ten minutes!"This level of urgent deployment showed his absolute resolve to win this war. The cost of losing was simply too terrifying. It would give the other princes leverage against him, lead to the fall of a crucial central planet, and cost him any chance at the throne.

But soon, even more terrifying news arrived."Your Highness... this is terrible. We just discovered in high-dimensional spacetime that the virus is also undergoing astonishing evolution in high-dimensional spacetime! Furthermore, after reaching a certain quantity, countless viruses are converging, distorting specific laws, as if projecting and materializing some terrifying, unknown cosmic life form, which is now descending upon this world...""In the words of our scientists, it might be an entity on the level of a Ninth-tier Cosmic Dao Cultivator... an embryo is forming, and its offspring is about to be born into this world!""What?!" The Thirteenth Prince was utterly aghast upon hearing this information.He seized the informant, his face contorted with rage. "Nonsense! What are you blabbering about? Do you have any idea how absurd this is? A virus, in high-dimensional spacetime, what does that imply? That it's also the descendant of an Eighth-tier, a god?! Can a virus be the offspring of a god? What is that, a Virus Deity? Even more outrageous, you claim this virus is distorting biological laws? Oh! This is even more preposterous! That's something only the descendant of a Cosmic Dao Cultivator can do. The appearance of an infant of such an entity here is already shocking enough for our great civilization! Now another newborn has appeared, and it's... a virus? Do you even comprehend what you're saying?! A great viral entity that transcends cosmic laws?!"The Thirteenth Prince felt he had just heard the most ridiculous joke of the century! A great entity that transcends cosmic laws. Could anything be more ludicrous?

"Your Highness, it's true... The esteemed scientists guarantee it with their lives; it's absolutely real..." the informant cried out, trembling with fear. "They said it might be the very culprit that once annihilated a great civilization with countless Cosmic Dao Cultivators, leading to this fetus being cast out and arriving here...""And this fetus escaped to this place, and that terrifying, dark, forbidden cosmic entity—the 'Western Heaven Tathagata Pillar God' that destroyed everything—also followed..."The Thirteenth Prince's eyes widened in horror, as if a child on a full moon night had heard a clap of thunder, feeling as though his very bones would shatter. That terrifying, civilization-destroying entity had also followed into their civilization?! His mind raced, picturing terrifying scenes of universal destruction: planets shattering like pottery, the demise of countless great Dao Cultivators who transcended cosmic laws...

The next second, a voice jolted him back to reality:"They say if we don't control it soon, our planet will be doomed."
