Atkin, the former Fifth Councilman, is currently the strongest person on Earth (at least on the surface).

Excluding Luo Feng, who is deep in the ocean, Atkin's strength is indeed the greatest on Earth at this moment.

Yet, for Su Zhe to deal with Atkin, it is not as easy as one might imagine.

The instant kill of Yan Hai was largely due to Yan Hai's carelessness, coupled with the fact that Yan Hai never expected Su Zhe's attack to be capable of piercing the defense of the Black God Suit.

The Black God Suit is also a product of Black Ink Star.

Although its effects are not as potent as a true Force Battle Suit, the Black God Suit is still the most defensive combat uniform across the entire Earth; it possesses the ability to automatically shift and envelop the entire body, making it alien technology to the people of Earth.

If it weren't for the fact that the Nihility Devouring Flame reached the Planetary Level and its power further increased, Su Zhe would not have been able to kill Yan Hai so easily.

Of course.

After killing Yan Hai, the Black God Suit on his body naturally fell into Su Zhe's possession.

The Black God Suit can weaken attacks to one-tenth of their power; although there is an upper limit, it is still an upgrade for Su Zhe. Combined with Su Zhe's own defensive capabilities, it would be very difficult to find anyone on Earth capable of breaking his defenses.

At this moment, Su Zhe has already arrived in North America.

With the speed of a Planetary Level powerhouse, traveling from Asia to here takes less than an hour, not to mention that Su Zhe's speed far exceeds that of others at the same level.

North America, Washington Base City of the United States.

Atkin is right here.

The battle against the Devourer Beast ended not long ago, and all major nations, including the interior of the HR Alliance, are still in a period of turmoil, but Atkin has already used aggressive tactics to seize sufficient influence within the HR Alliance.

The next step is to force a re-election of the entire HR Alliance Council, allowing him to replace Isadora and become the new Councilman!

Su Zhe has already set his sights on Atkin.

This time, he intends to make Atkin a test subject for the Blacklight Virus. He is unsure if he can keep Atkin's intelligence intact, but turning him into a creature similar to a Hunter should not be a problem.

As a test subject, Su Zhe does not care whether he lives or dies.

If it succeeds, Atkin can continue to serve as his First Councilman and help Su Zhe consolidate the forces on Earth; if it fails... an Atkin turned into a monster will have no further utility.

At this moment, Atkin is inside a villa, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Su Zhe gazes at him from afar. Atkin is a Planetary Level 3 martial artist with very keen senses, yet he is unable to detect Su Zhe's presence.

Unlike dealing with Yan Hai, Su Zhe does not have the certainty of killing Atkin instantly.

But for now, there is no need to take direct action.

With a thought from Su Zhe, a wisp of blood-red thread condensed from the Blacklight Virus drifted out and merged into the air. Under the control of his Psychic Power, that wisp of thread silently drifted into Atkin's water glass along with the breeze.

This is the simplest method!

Even if Atkin is a Planetary Level martial artist, it is impossible for him to constantly monitor whether someone has poisoned his water glass.

Furthermore, the Blacklight Virus is hidden; without powerful Psychic Power, it is almost impossible to detect.

Su Zhe did not have to wait long—

Soon, under Su Zhe's expectant gaze, Atkin picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Virus infection!

Su Zhe's eyes narrowed as he watched that trace of the Blacklight Virus enter Atkin's body, gradually eroding his cells.

Although there is a qualitative difference between the cells of a Planetary Level martial artist and those of an ordinary person, Su Zhe is now also at the Planetary Level, and the Blacklight Virus has likewise undergone a qualitative change, becoming much more infectious.

If it were to spread now, it would likely cover the entire globe within a day.

After all, the Blacklight Virus can also spread through water sources and the air.

Su Zhe watches Atkin, who is completely unaware that a metamorphosis is taking place within his body.

Among the Blacklight Virus infected, there is a special type known as a Runner; they can retain their human memories and intelligence while also gaining the powerful abilities brought about by the Blacklight Virus infection.

The only problem is that Runners are exclusively female.

However, in the second game, other Blacklight Virus infected individuals appeared who could maintain their intelligence; while possessing great strength, they would also obey the commands of their creator, Alex.

Su Zhe does not know what Atkin will turn into.

However, the infection speed of the Blacklight Virus is quite fast.

It was not until the Blacklight Virus spread throughout Atkin's entire body and his body began to lose strength that he realized something was wrong.

"Someone..."

Atkin collapsed, his body weak and powerless.

At the last moment before falling, he saw Su Zhe's figure appear before him. He reached out with a trembling hand, wanting to grab at Su Zhe, but was swatted to the ground by Su Zhe's palm.

"Done."

Su Zhe clapped his hands.

The three giants of Earth, following Luo Feng's disappearance, have all been dealt with by Su Zhe within a few short hours!

Next, he only needs to consider how to clean up the mess left behind after their deaths.

As for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Hong's personal guards do not seem to have been killed, so that should not be a problem.

The upper echelons of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall consist of Yan Hai and Nehru; there should be quite a few problems within.

Beyond that, there are the five great nations and the HR Alliance. If Atkin hasn't died and has become a Blacklight Virus infected, let him be responsible for absorbing these forces on Earth, while Su Zhe provides support from behind the scenes.

"Blacklight Virus..."

Su Zhe looked at Atkin on the ground. Inside Atkin's body, the Blacklight Virus was attacking his brain.

As the Blacklight Virus spread, Atkin's body was also undergoing constant evolution.

This evolutionary process could be described as extremely simple and brutal. If one cannot withstand this "evolution," they will turn into a mindless infected; if their aptitude is good, they can become a Hunter.

As the Prototype and Matriarch, all Su Zhe could do at this moment was to try his best to slow the pace of the Blacklight Virus and reduce some of its aggression, giving Atkin a chance to catch his breath.

Under Su Zhe's subtle control.

Atkin's body began to change.

The process of change was not fast, but this was actually good news.

It meant that Su Zhe could perfectly control the spread of the Blacklight Virus!

As time passed.

The evolution occurring in Atkin's body gradually neared completion.

When the brand-new Atkin appeared, Su Zhe's eyes lit up.

"What... did you do to me?"

Atkin looked at his own hands in terror. He clearly felt the explosive surge of power within his body, and at the same time, a power he could not comprehend had taken root inside him.

"It seems it isn't forced enslavement."

Su Zhe murmured, attempting to control the Blacklight Virus within Atkin.

The next instant—

"Thud!"

Atkin's knees slammed heavily into the ground, and he knelt before Su Zhe.
