The 550th Chapter: The Primordial Body of the Dehua Virus (2nd Update)

Demiurge, a newly born Mystery, was a construct formed by the power of the Qliphoth Tree.

Like Kibutsuji Muzan, he had been remade from a human.

However, Kibutsuji Muzan was more like an experiment—a standard Mystery creature, powerful yet afraid of sunlight.

Demiurge, however, was different. Although he too had been reverse-engineered from a human and was a traitor to humanity, his transformation had been more thorough, more absolute.

Demiurge had been born under these circumstances, a continuation of the new Mystery creature line that had followed Jeanne d'Arc Alter and Bluebeard.

This time, the creator had become the Qliphoth Tree. Months earlier, it had infiltrated beneath Hokkaido and silently spread its roots through the underground, using its special abilities to draw one highly compatible person after another
