Chapter 280: Divine Man's Rampage, Ancient God's Image, GOD-023 - Divine Son Adam

"It's been so long, why is there still no news?"

Sky Tower, Level 1049, Xu Corporation Biology.

Xu Mu De stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance at Yuan City, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

He had a sense of foreboding.

The last time he received news from Xu Wen Kui was several hours ago, saying she was about to make contact with Sch Jing.

Logically, with her eye abilities, it should have been a swift and decisive operation.

If she succeeded, she would definitely send him a message...

But now, several hours had passed, and there was still no news, which meant the situation was probably...

Could it be that Sch Jing was truly that difficult to deal with, even unable to take down the Eye of the Tranquil Abyss?

"Mr. Xu!"

Just as Xu Mu De was secretly anxious, a voice of urgency came from his side.

He straightened up, thinking that there was finally some news, and immediately turned to look, only to see his subordinate with a look of panic:

"Mr. Xu, something seems to have gone wrong upstairs!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu De's heart sank.

This was the worst news he didn't want to hear, even worse than the failure of the ambush on Sch Jing.

"Buzz—"

At this moment, a vibrating hum came from above, and the floor-to-ceiling window beside him cracked, with several cracks gradually spreading and expanding.

Seeing this, Xu Mu De's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered:

"Destroy all the experimental bodies, quick!"

"Yes!"

...

Xu Wen Kui felt herself sinking infinitely downward.

She couldn't control herself, as if she had fallen into a pitch-black swamp, being swallowed by it, sinking deeper and deeper, without even a chance to struggle.

In a daze, she saw countless strange illusions.

In a chaotic space without up or down, left or right, past or present, she vaguely saw many great entities dwelling within.

Yes, for some reason, she instinctively referred to these strangely shaped entities as 'great'.

She saw an endless red mist, a black flesh mass larger than a star yet exuding motherhood without causing fear, and a sudden void beside the red mist and flesh.

She saw a towering dead tree taller than the Sky Tower, a throne formed from solidified death, a dim halo of decay and ruin, and countless tentacles extending from a colorless void.

She saw a strange robed figure in a red giant lake, a beautiful pair of golden and mercury twins, an eternal thinker imprisoned in a strange jail, and a furnace that burned the world within itself.

She saw a cancerous tumor perched atop a planet, a scaleless giant fish in an eternal frozen hell, and a fat creature with a rat's head, laughing as it devoured filth.

Finally, she saw a strange entity entirely composed of eyes.

She was slowly drawn into this mass of eyes, about to merge with it, her consciousness peaceful and serene, feeling extremely relaxed, as if she was about to dissipate.

After an unknown amount of time, just as she felt herself becoming lighter and lighter, as if about to disappear, she suddenly regained weight.

Cold, trembling...

Xu Wen Kui opened her eyes involuntarily and woke up.

Xu Wen Kui felt weak all over, her eyes moving subconsciously, looking at the boy sitting in the chair beside her, holding a phone and staring at something.

Seemingly sensing her awakening, the incredibly handsome boy glanced at her, raised his eyebrows condescendingly, and said with a smile:

"You're awake? The surgery was a success."

Hearing these words, her memories flooded back like a tidal wave, and she gradually became more lucid, remembering the current situation.

"Hmm..."

Xu Wen Kui sat up, covering her head, and only then did she realize that she was completely naked, with only a gray coat draped over her body.

She pulled the coat up to cover her full chest and didn't say anything more, as it was not unusual for a captive to be mistreated.

"Why didn't you kill me? Why is my mutation rate..."

Xu Wen Kui asked in confusion.

Sch Jing put away his phone and put it back in his pocket, saying,

"Miss Xu, you seem to have misunderstood the situation. It's me who should be asking the questions, not you."

Xu Wen Kui tilted her head and calmly said,

"Then ask, I'll tell you everything."

Sch Jing smiled and said, "Very good, obedient child."

Xu Wen Kui's face showed a hint of strangeness.

Being called an obedient child by a boy who hadn't even reached adulthood yet...

Sch Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Then, first of all, why is Xu Mu De so eager for the Primordial Wind? What does he plan to do with it?"

Xu Wen Kui didn't hesitate and immediately whispered, "'Divine Man Project'..."

"He intends to create a stable and controllable 'Divine Man' based on himself, using this to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Xu Corporation. He needs the Primordial Wind to suppress the not yet fully mature and potentially rampaging Divine Man experimental bodies..."

Sch Jing raised his eyebrows, "What is this Divine Man?"

Xu Wen Kui looked at him in surprise, "You're the person of that Wu Miss, and you don't even know this?

Sch Jing's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Answer my questions and don't say anything unnecessary."

Xu Wen Kui tightened her coat and replied, "The Divine Man is a byproduct of 'Adam'..."

As she spoke, she observed Sch Jing's expression. Seeing his confusion, she immediately added, "GOD-023, the Divine Son Adam, is a biological godly relic... It is also the only godly relic born from human hands to date."

"Its specific origins and the reason for its birth are highly classified. Only a few people in this world know about it, but according to our speculations, it is very likely related to 'God.'"

"'Adam' is a human-shaped, human-structured creature... It has no consciousness, has never awakened, and remains in a comatose state. However, it is immortal and indestructible, its physical state eternally unchanging, requiring no nutrition to survive."

Xu Wen Kui spoke slowly.

"According to the information from the New Northern Ocean Council, the reason for Adam's condition is the existence of a special element called the 'Divine Factor' within its body..."

"This element has numerous uses. For example, if one wants to undergo the 'Immortality Surgery,' a large amount of the 'Divine Factor' is required."

"The so-called 'Divine Man' is a biological weapon created based on 'Adam'..."

"This biological weapon is extremely powerful. Not only does it possess an exceptionally high physical quality, rivaling Transcenders, but depending on the amount of the Divine Factor in its body, it can even reach levels comparable to five or six Transcender stages. Moreover, some special individuals possess various extraordinary abilities that defy the laws of physics."

"Originally, many forces within Zhuxia coveted the power of the Divine Man, but without 'Adam' as a reference, all plans to create Divine Men had made little progress."

"However, recently, Xu Mu De somehow managed to strike a deal with the New Northern Ocean Council and obtained a portion of Adam's flesh and blood..."

As Xu Wen Kui narrated, Sch Jing gradually understood the cause and effect.

So, the experimental subjects with appearances similar to Xu Mu De that he encountered on the 1097th floor were the so-called 'Divine Men.'

"Divine Men do not possess the higher intelligence of humans, and there is no conscious light of awareness within them. They act solely on physical instincts, making them prone to rampaging. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare the Primordial Wind to suppress them at any time; otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Even now, there is a possibility of a Divine Man rampaging... No, without the Primordial Wind and my eyes to suppress them, they might have already started to run amok."

Xu Wen Kui said calmly.

Sch Jing smiled thoughtfully and said, "Miss Xu, you're quite straightforward with your words. Earlier, you directly revealed that Xu Mu De sent you... What's your purpose now?"

Xu Wen Kui shook her head. "I'm working for the Xu Corporation, not Xu Mu De. Before, I wanted to spite him, but now... As a captive, I have no choice but to speak. The Sixth Bureau also has many things that could force me to talk. Hiding anything now is pointless."

Sch Jing nodded. "You're a real talent. I almost don't want to kill you... But if I let you go just like that, it would make me seem too kind. In the future, wouldn't everyone think I'm easy to bully?"

"What do you think I should do?"

After hearing this, Xu Wen Kui silently let the coat she was wearing slide off, revealing her voluptuous figure.

Sch Jing's expression remained unchanged. "What are you doing?"

Xu Wen Kui stood up and walked towards Sch Jing with a calm demeanor. "Paying the price..."

Sch Jing's lips twitched. "Are you paying the price or am I? Sit down."

Xu Wen Kui silently sat down on the ground, her long legs slightly bent, showcasing her above-average physique.

... These women must have some mental issues.

Sch Jing was speechless.

He felt like every female enemy he encountered would pull a stunt like this.

Damn... Do I really look like a lustful ghost? Sch Jing stood up and walked out, stepping on the coat on the ground.

As he left the compartment, the coat on the ground rose without any wind, enveloping Xu Wen Kui tightly. An invisible rift opened in the void, and a steel rope emerged, binding the coat-wrapped Xu Wen Kui tightly, as if wrapping a zongzi (a traditional Chinese rice dumpling).

In the cabin, Ning Yuan Tai immediately stood up and asked when he saw Sch Jing exiting the small compartment.

"Brother Xue, how was it?"

Sch Jing recounted the Divine Man Project as Xu Wen Kui had explained it. After listening, Ning Yuan Tai frowned and said, "So that's how it is... What should we do now, Brother Xue?"

Sch Jing pondered for a moment and replied, "First, we must notify the Inner Ring Government... These 'Divine Men' may rampage at any time, so we need to ensure they are prepared."

"As for us..."

He paused and continued, "Let's head straight to the Skyreach Center."

Strictly speaking, the primary responsibility did not lie with him... But since he had stolen the Primordial Wind, he should do his best to try and prevent this disaster.

...
