Chapter 51
Qi Lin, the First to Eat Meat
"The Violent Worm Virus? What's this new thing?" Morgana raised an eyebrow, her tone inquisitive.
What new and interesting thing has Karl come up with this time?
"A special virus with its own consciousness," Karl explained softly, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"It can infect all organisms carrying genes that indicate a tendency towards violence, not only enabling cross-species transmission but also prompting the host to complete... a kind of alternative evolution."
He paused, his tone remaining calm: "Most importantly, without specific methods, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate it."
After hearing Karl's description, Morgana's eyes widened.
This……
If what Carl says is true, this virus would be a catastrophic threat to existing civilizations in the known universe.
The key lies in its terrifying contagiousness.
Without effective prevention and control measures, it may not be long before the entire ethnic group and civilization are eroded by it, ultimately leading to complete collapse.
After a brief moment of shock, Morgana quickly regained her usual arrogance.
"That sounds like an interesting little toy. But Karl, what makes you think the Queen would do such dirty work for you?"
"The Violent Worm virus will bring chaos to civilization... countless souls thirsting for power in despair. When justice and order collapse before the virus..."
His voice was seductive: "Those lost souls will naturally turn to the demon queen who can give them a new life."
Morgana's red lips curled into a dangerous smile: "That's right, only I, the Queen, can bring them new life, but..."
Morgana's expression suddenly changed: "Stop making empty promises to the Queen! Two sets of fourth-generation divine body resources, plus three sets of third-generation divine body resources. Less than one, and it's off the table."
Karl's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Queen Morgana, I really don't have that many reserves."
"Don't give me that!" Morgana scoffed.
"Don't think I don't know you. Don't try to fool the Queen. If you don't have the resources, you'll have to deal with that yourself. As for whether that bitch Keisha will find out... that's none of my business."
"I can offer at most one resource from a third-generation god," Karl conceded.
"One set for four generations, two sets for three generations." Morgana didn't believe him at all. "Don't try to fool me."
"Queen Morgana, I..." Karl wanted to say something more.
"Alright, alright!" Morgana interrupted impatiently. "A quarter of the resources from three generations—that's my bottom line. If you try to bargain any further, you can deal with this yourself!"
Carl was silent for a moment. "Deal." There was a faint sigh in his voice. "I'll send you the resources, the Violent Worm virus, and Demon One together."
"Alright, alright, I know, you're such a big man, always dawdling," Morgana waved her hand dismissively.
After saying that, he immediately hung up the secret communication.
"Earth... could there really be something special about it?" Morgana murmured, gazing at the distant blue planet.
I have a feeling that Carl's focus on Earth is a bit abnormal.
Morgana thought so
.... .... ....
"Um... Qilin, you..." Rose looked at Qilin in front of her, her expression somewhat subtle, but she swallowed the words back.
Qi Lin's cheeks flushed slightly, unsure how to explain. Should she say that she had accidentally tripped and fallen last night?
Even she herself found this excuse far-fetched.
A hint of loneliness and envy flashed in Ah Zhui's eyes.
The reason for all this dates back to this morning—
As usual, Ah-Zhui got up early to prepare breakfast for everyone.
Because of Liang Bing's words last night, Qiangwei slept soundly for once and woke up earlier.
The two met in the living room, exchanged brief greetings, and then naturally began to chat.
While helping Ah Zhui prepare the ingredients, Rose asked curiously about the Angel Civilization, Super Soldiers, and the distribution of the major powers in the known universe.
Ah-Zhui smiled and patiently answered the questions for the "little girl" cherished by the Heavenly King.
Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, footsteps came from the stairs.
It turned out that Qilin had woken up and was slowly walking downstairs.
only……
Watching her walk with a slightly difficult gait, each step tinged with discomfort, Rose and A-Zhui exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a mixture of understanding and complexity.
After all, if I remember correctly
Last night, it seems that Qilin and Cangyu were staying in the same room.
Qi Lin noticed the meaningful gazes between the two, and her ears turned even redder.
She tried to remain calm as she walked to the counter and reached for the coffee pot, but the movement caused her to gasp slightly.
"Let me help you." Ah Zhui considerately took the coffee pot, gathering holy light between his fingertips to slightly heat it. "Do you need sugar?"
"Just a little bit, thank you," Qi Lin said gratefully, her face slightly flushed.
Rose arranged the cut fruit on a plate and asked casually, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Qi Lin took the coffee from A-Zhui, her fingertips trembling slightly: "It's...it's alright..."
She sipped her coffee slowly, trying to shield her burning cheeks with the rim of the cup.
At this moment, Cang Yu had arrived in the living room at some point. He walked naturally to Qi Lin's side, gently patted her back, and softly asked:
"Why didn't you sleep in a little longer this morning?"
"I...I'm used to waking up early..." Qi Lin responded softly, unconsciously leaning against Cang Yu's chest, her tone filled with dependence.
Cang Yu gently took the coffee cup from her hand and placed it on the table, then bent down and steadily lifted her up in his arms.
"You should get some rest." He looked down at Qi Lin, whose cheeks were flushed, and said with a hint of teasing.
"Isn't it because someone became incredibly stubborn after awakening their super gene last night, and now they're even having trouble walking?"
With that, he picked up Qilin and turned to walk towards the room on the second floor, intending to let her rest for a while longer.
Behind them, Ah-Zhui watched their intimate figures, her eyes filled with envy. She gently clenched her fist, silently making a decision in her heart.
I need to be more proactive.
Before, it was just me by his side, and it was fine to take things slowly. But now, there are more and more girls around him... I can't keep waiting like this.
As for what Sister Yan said about at least observing for a thousand years first...
Ah-Zhui said, "I'd rather die than see your father's wife. By then, it'll be too late."
She chased after him until she didn't even know where the queue was anymore.
And roses...
Rose didn't have so many thoughts on it; after all, she had already made up her mind after Liang Bing's guidance.
so... ...
Just wait, it's my turn, Time and Space Rose's turn!
Cang Yu gently carried Qi Lin back to the room and carefully placed her on the soft bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, his fingertips gently tracing her cheek, and said softly, "Get some rest."
Qi Lin gave a soft "hmm," her eyelashes trembling slightly, like a small animal being soothed.
Cang Yu smiled slightly and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
The kiss was as light as a feather, yet it carried an unspoken tenderness and promise.
