Chapter 303 (1/2)

Even now, when Lilisse recalled that memory, she still felt some lingering fear. But at that time, Lilisse, who didn't have much intelligence, didn't even know what fear was. All she found was that her aging genes, cells, and limbs were rejuvenating at a maddening rate, returning to their youthful vigor. But what was terrifying was that this wave of vitality came too violently.

The cells split and regenerated in a near berserk manner. Every second, countless cells would form in Lily's body, and countless more would die.

Every second, Lilisse was evolving.

It was as if the amount of time needed to evolve in a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years was condensed into a few hours. Just like Lilisse, the mutated beasts that survived the rapid evolution brought suffering and death upon them!

Every minute and every second, strange creatures would die. The way they died was extremely strange. Some died as their bodies exploded, while others shrunk into dried meat, or their limbs multiplied endlessly, until they became large chunks of meat that had no meaning at all.

As for Lilisse, she too was struggling on the brink of death. While she was struggling like this, Lilisse suddenly shouted a name.

That was the name of the child in her memory. It was also the first human language she had spoken in the past five years since Lilisse turned into a living corpse. This meant that Lily had exceeded the definition of an ordinary living corpse, but she was also not a butcher or a Ripper. Strictly speaking, Lilisse was now a living corpse that had regained her consciousness.

In Lilisse's mind, there was something else as well, as well as an additional piece of information.

The pitch-black crown was a perfectly shaped crystal. It existed in Lily's brain and was connected to countless neural networks. It was the source of Lily's power and also the source of evolution. At the same time, it sent a message to Lily.

It was in an indescribably majestic palace, surrounded by countless lights. Something darker than darkness rushed left and right like a trapped beast, but it was unable to break through the encirclement of light. Thus, Lily understood that those lights were the prison of darkness. At this moment, a piece of information was etched into Lilisse's mind.

Evolution, becoming stronger, releasing me!

The simple, yet inviolable, order was deeply engraved in Lily's mind. At the same time, it was engraved in the minds of the other six beasts that survived this brutal evolution like Lilisse.

The seven mutants who had completed their evolution were the true kings of other mutants. In the black crown in their minds, there were not only the sources of their strength and evolution, but also the blueprints for their different biological kingdoms. When their evolution reached the standard required by the Dark Crown, the kingdom's blueprint would be unfurled for them, allowing them to build terrifying empires that could rival humans.

After obtaining the Dark Crown, Lily and the other six beasts were collectively known as the Seven True Kings. The True Kings agreed to meet a few years later, and when they all became strong, they all came back together to release their ”mother.” Yes, the darkness that gave the Black Crown to the True King in an unknown way, they called her mother.

The seven True Kings dispersed just like that, each going their own way. They were scattered all over the world, hiding out of sight, and moving quickly along their own evolutionary path. At the same time, seven biological kingdoms quietly appeared.
