Chapter 14 (2/2)

There was one notable case where a villager contracted a disease that seemed similar to cancer. Wang Yuan wasn’t a medical student so he didn’t really study them, but he noticed that a tumour had formed inside that villager’s dying body and was growing at a rapid pace.

As Wang Yuan’s bacteria entered his body, they would quickly mutate thanks to the existence of the tumour. The mutated bacteria quickly got out of Wang Yuan’s control and grew at an insane rate, forming numerous black spots on the villager’s body.

At the same time, the black spots were also quickly expanding until it turned him into a literal ‘black person’, feathers were also visibly growing from his body, but before they could thoroughly sprout, the man had already died.

This mutated bacteria was then preserved by Wang Yuan and fed at regular intervals, maintaining the vitality for these germs that he named [Black Crow].

When the villager mutated, he showed off powers that regular humans would never be able to do. A normal, originally dying sick man after the mutation was able to leap 5-6 meters with ease and destroyed a house pillar with one punch. Wang Yuan believed that this [Black Crow] bacteria had a lot of breeding potential, but required more improvements.

Besides the [Black Crow], there was another type of bacteria that was worth Wang Yuan’s preservation. It came from no one else but the living person infected with his germs the longest, Comoros.

Perhaps the [Progenitor Germs] were suppressed for too long inside Comoros’ body, it began to mutate in a strange way and slowly became dormant. But as soon as Wang Yuan acted on these germs, they would trigger the release of two different substances inside Comoros’ body. The first of which caused Comoros to feel extreme happiness, while the other caused extreme fear.

Wang Yuan was in full control of which substance would be released, and in fact, even without Wang Yuan’s interference, Comoros would not die from the germs inside him anymore.

This type of bacteria that could trigger happiness and fear was named [Domination] by Wang Yuan. The deeper meaning of which was that if someone were to be infected with them, they would never escape from Wang Yuan’s control. But more importantly, the current Comoros was similar to the mutated crows, he was able to supply Wang Yuan with Soul Essence, which was the cool aura.

Unlike the crows, the Soul Essence that Comoros supplied was similar to how it was when he absorbed the Soul Essence of the dead, it carried emotions as well as bits and pieces of memories.

“This seems to be similar to the worshipped Gods from my past life. Could it be that Soul Essence was actually ‘Faith’?” Wang Yuan had such a thought and rejected the Soul Essence Comoros supplied.

Wang Yuan didn’t want to become a worshipped God like in the stories. Those Gods might appear to have absolute control, but they were in fact also being controlled by their collective worshippers, which was something Wang Yuan couldn’t stomach. He could accept selective, active changes to his personality, but not passive changes like this.

For his goal, Wang Yuan wanted to become a true manipulator of all things, but not a God. In fact, if such Gods existed, Wang Yuan also wanted to one day dominate them as well.

“These [Dominator] germs are quite useful, unfortunately, their infectivity and spread have also become exceedingly weak. I can’t make them spread widely, so Comoros is the only carrier for now” Wang Yuan sighed, then continued to experiment with the different changes that the [Progenitor Germs] went through in different hosts.

“Comoros’ mother should go into labour quite soon, shouldn’t she?” Wang Yuan recalled.
