Then.
Chu Yunyi came to his senses and looked at the golden-eyed boy. "You don't have to be so formal. I have a few more questions for you."
To the golden-eyed boy, Chu Yunyi's words were like a command. After becoming an [Apostle] transformed by an ability, he would obey Chu Yunyi.
Chu Yunyi had always been the type to say what was on his mind, so he asked directly:
"Will the viruses disappear after Mo Xun dies?"
"No."
"The Seven Deadly Sins Virus will continue to exist, but there won't be any new infected."
"Except for the Gluttony Virus, all the infected were deliberately selected by Mo Xun, who then released the viruses on them." The golden-eyed boy answered decisively.
Thinking it over.
Chu Yunyi decided he couldn't let the remaining infected run rampant any longer.
Though firepower could suppress some of them, it was possible that some infected had already reached the middle stage, or were even approaching the late stage.
By then.
Heavy firepower wouldn't be enough to deal with them. They would need at least one hydrogen bomb, perhaps several.
That wasn't something Chu Yunyi wanted to see.
Though he could travel to countless worlds, his true home was Blue Star alone.
Thinking it over.
Chu Yunyi immediately activated NO.19 [Apostle of the Mind] and bestowed abilities upon the golden-eyed boy.
In an instant, information streams appeared and formed a summary.
Chu Yunyi looked at his nineteen abilities and fell into thought, staring blankly at NO.1 [Void Gate].
If I limit his access to gates within Blue Star...
That would be good.
I don't want my subordinate to be able to travel to countless worlds. That would be too chaotic.
Chu Yunyi thought.
NO.1 [Void Gate] in the information summary instantly turned into a gray icon, with a golden lock hanging at its lower-right corner.
"So... it means it'll do as I wish?" Chu Yunyi murmured.
Then.
Chu Yunyi picked and chose, bundling some abilities together.
They were:
NO.1 [Void Gate (Limited Version)].
NO.3 [Blood Control].
NO.4 [Eyes See All Directions].
NO.5 [Eidetic Memory].
NO.6 [Words of All Spirits].
NO.7 [Perfect Order].
NO.8 [Effortless Mastery].
NO.9 [Ground Wave].
NO.13 [Wall-Piercing Spell].
NO.15 [Portable Space].
NO.17 [Rapid Recovery].
These eleven abilities, none of them core abilities, were all bundled together and given to the golden-eyed boy.
Feeling the sudden surge of power within him, the golden-eyed boy's eyes filled with delight, but NO.7 [Perfect Order] quickly suppressed it.
"Thank you for your generous gift, my lord!"
Watching the golden-eyed boy pledge his loyalty again and again, Chu Yunyi thought:
He really is as timid as a mouse.
But when he looked at the golden-eyed boy.
He realized he didn't know what to call him.
Then an idea occurred to him, and Chu Yunyi spoke again:
"By convention, you should be given a codename."
Hearing this.
The golden-eyed boy lowered his head and said, "Please give me a name, my lord."
Chu Yunyi's chuunibyou tendencies hadn't faded yet, and he continued:
"For your generation, you'll be named after the twelve Chinese zodiac animals."
"And you're the first of the [Zodiac]."
"Your codename will also be your name from now on."
"You'll be called..."
Chu Yunyi's eyes gleamed with interest, and two words suddenly came from his mouth:
"Zi Shu."
Upon hearing that, Zi Shu immediately bowed low, expressing his feelings.
Seeing this.
Chu Yunyi waved a hand, then said:
"Enough. I'll go eliminate Mo Xun."
"Your mission is to eradicate the remaining infected on Blue Star. Can you do it?"
Zi Shu slowly stood and clasped his fists. "This subordinate will do everything in his power."
But upon hearing the name Mo Xun, Zi Shu didn't immediately carry out Chu Yunyi's order. Instead, he asked worriedly:
"My lord, forgive me for asking..."
"That's [Seven-Day Demon King Mo Xun]! The ruler of Seventh Heaven, and a true Deity. Will you... win?"
Chu Yunyi took the question to heart, then grinned confidently.
"I'll win."
Chu Yunyi wasn't being arrogant. He'd never lost once in his life!
At that moment.
A feeling that he was the one and only in this world welled up inside him!
He, Chu Yunyi.
He was practically the child of destiny! He was practically destined to destroy the apocalypse!
Everything had gone smoothly along the way, as if someone had carefully paved the road for him!
Smooth! Too smooth!!
Thus.
For a change, Chu Yunyi was in high spirits. After a day of fighting, he planned to head straight to Mo Xun's lair and wipe him out in one fell swoop!
Suddenly.
NO.7 [Perfect Order] activated. Even though Chu Yunyi was excited, rational thought began to take hold in his mind.
"Since I have the ability, I'm bound to face [Mo Xun]."
"If I kill him, I might be able to seize all the remaining abilities of the Round Table!"
"From Zi Shu's information, Mo Xun may be a Deity, but he isn't all that absurdly powerful. He's about on par with Thor from the Marvel movies, though he has a few special abilities." Chu Yunyi mused to himself, one corner of his mouth lifting.
Then he thought:
Even if I can't beat him...
With NO.15 [Portable Space] and NO.1 [Void Gate] working together, I can escape instantly. There's nothing to worry about.
Having made up his mind.
Chu Yunyi decided to set off!
Waving a hand to hurry Zi Shu along, Chu Yunyi said, "Go kill the infected, as many as you can. You've mastered your abilities, right?"
Hearing that, Zi Shu looked at Chu Yunyi's confidence and felt that something was off, though he couldn't say what.
But he still replied:
"Mm, oh!"
"I've mastered them all. It's like I was born knowing how to use them. I'm off, my lord!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunyi patted Zi Shu on the shoulder, then reached into NO.15 [Portable Space] and handed him the Walther.
"Use a gun for now. Once I've killed Mo Xun, I'll upgrade your equipment."
Holding the Walther, a large-caliber pistol, Zi Shu silently nodded and set off.
Zi Shu came to the dormitory door, turned the handle, and said, "Take me to somewhere near the weakest infected."
Then the door opened, and Zi Shu walked through. The dormitory door leading elsewhere slowly closed behind him.
Watching this, Chu Yunyi said with a smile, "He really is as timid as a mouse. Zi Shu certainly lives up to his name."
"I'm different."
"A python swallowing an elephant? No."
"I'm going to make the powerful dragon press down on the local snake!"
Chu Yunyi also turned the doorknob, then used the complete version of NO.1 [Void Gate] to enter the special space known as [Void Gate].
Inside [Void Gate].
Chu Yunyi stood on the rippling sea of Void Gates, gazing at the endless doors. He spoke toward the air:
"I want to go to the world of [Seven-Day Demon King Mo Xun]!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
A door appeared in the distance and slowly drifted toward Chu Yunyi.
It was a door formed from thick clouds, but filthy blood kept seeping through both sides of the clouds.
In appearance, it had transformed from the Gate of Heaven into the Gate of Hell.
Looking at the door.
Chu Yunyi was just about to turn the doorknob.
Suddenly.
NO.7 [Perfect Order], a mere white-tier ability, quietly activated once more!
