Chapter 237: A Familiar Scene (1/2)

A few moments prior to the previous scene, within a sealed off quarter of the Body Shifter's main headquarters. Here, the giant nine-meter large Genetic Blood Corpse stood tall with its endless killing intention that saturated the room's entirety in a reddish hue, giving one an extremely intimidating air as if its sole purpose was to destroy all lifeforms.

The glass container that held Valoz's corpse was glowing in strange lights as the arm holding onto the leg of the Genetic Blood Corpse repeatedly sent energies into its body, resulting in a slight change now and then.

By now, the Genetic Blood Corpse couldn't be described as a corpse as it had a tinge of life within its previously dead flesh; its skin had a reddish luster as if it was suffused with life energy.

There was only one person within this room, observing each of these details with utmost devotion. This person was none other than the slender and gorgeous looking Pira seated in a crossed-legged posture before Valoz. Her face shrouded by her helmet as her hair flowed behind her head as if dancing to the energies scattering from the Genetic Blood Corpse. By now, her entire body emanated a power vastly superior to her previous standard.

Suddenly, Pira's helmet opened, revealing her beautiful eyes that stared at Valoz and the Genetic Blood Corpse as she thought to herself.

'Master Valoz is nearing the point of complete fusion; his essence should have already achieved 95% merger, maybe in a few more days it shall all be complete. Huhu, once that happens, who can stop us? Our kind will pave the road ahead and the World Tree's Blessing shall fall into our hands.'

As Pira's thoughts reached here, she was about to leave the room, but suddenly, the door behind her made a knocking sound.

Pira frowned before she spoke, ”Enter.”

Following her words, the door opened, and a few elite looking Body Shifters walked into the room; they stared at the Valoz before focusing their attention onto Pira as they bowed and made a greeting.

”We've come to report to Miss Pira.”

Pira looked at them and spoke, ”What is it?”

The Body Shifters looked at each other before one of them spoke, ”Miss Pira, there have been signs of distress from the nearby island facilities, we've received reports that a mere human party was threatening them, but we believe that this was nothing but a...”

The Body Shifter was about to say something, but as if Pira heard enough of his words, her eyes shrunk as she hurriedly cut him off.

”That's enough, hurry and command all forces within the base, tell them to double the security of the entire island.”

”This... but... aren't they just hu...?” The Body Shifter was about to speak again, but suddenly, a terrifying power filled the entire room, causing each of them to suffocate as Pira glared at them with glowing eyes as she shouted.

”Hurry and do as your told!”

”Y-Yes, Miss Pira!”

The Body Shifters replied as they left in a hurry, not daring to dally for a moment longer.

Pira, having calmed down, shook her head as she thought to herself, 'Those humans, so they've finally begun to search for our base, they're either reckless or more than prepared. I'd be foolish to underestimate them again...'

When Pira's thoughts reached here, her eyes coldly flashed as she stared at the direction of Valoz and spoke out loud, ”No matter, even if they do arrive, it's already too late. My strength has fully recovered to my past stage, and as for Master Valoz, he will be on an entirely different level.”

As if he sensed Pira's thoughts, a series of power began to condense around both the Genetic Blood Corpse along with Valoz's body. The two had instantly started to glow in bright red lights as Valoz's original body began to hover from the ground.

Pira was shocked by this; her eyes gleamed with excitement as she thought, 'It's finally happening, the master is entering the final process for the fusion!'

Following her words, she saw Valoz's body turned into a series of red lights absorbed by the Genetic Blood Corpse.

When this happened, a series of resonant heartbeats had started to echo across the entire room as with each beat; its genetic blood energy would rise by an alarming degree, spreading out far and wide as the whole room started to shake as if undergoing a tremor.

Eventually, even its eyes had begun to twitch as if at any moment, the giant would become conscious. The body started to show unusual signs as strange markings began to appear on the surface of its skin, its hair grew longer, and a sinister armor formed over its flesh, one that had mysterious engravings at its core.
