Chapter 656: Fusion of Life & Death

Chapter 655: Fusion of Life & Death

Like ice beams, shards continued to slam into the ground, ensuring dazzling but blinding explosions.

Amidst the resulting explosion clouds, the silhouettes of the corpses came in sight.

"How is such a thing possible?!"

Miria was taken aback. She has opened a spatial tunnel for the Alphas, but these corpses were moving there. If they arrive on Earth, there was no saying what price humanity would pay!

But there was no stopping them now!

With Ice Queen attacking the ground and the number of corpses, it would require the joint efforts of all Alphas to stop this.

But the other Alphas were in no condition to react. The unbelievable sight of the corpses reviving made them forget the explosions and the existence of the escape route.

"Shouldn't death be a definitive end?!" Crimson Wolf asked.

Kiba shook his head and said, "Death is indeed a definitive end, but these corpses were preserved by Lord Xeced using some special method.

"Maybe this method healed their injuries and used lingering memories in the brains to develop a temporary consciousness. This temporary consciousness and muscle memory should make them a lot better than the so-called zombies.

"And providing energy to them shouldn't be that difficult for someone of Lord Xeced's caliber."

Crimson Wolf looked at Kiba.

"Even if what you say is true, there must be some serious side effects or lethal consequences. Otherwise, these corpses would have revived long ago!"

Kiba nodded but didn't reply. A golden glow swept out of his hand and morphed into a protective shield above the four of them.

In the meantime, Mountain Lord nodded in response to his friend. He said, "Most likely. For one thing, these revived corpses should be nowhere as strong as their former selves… and they must meet some special criteria to really come to life!"

As he reached this part, his complexion paled as he realized the criteria, "Legacy Orbs!"

"Yeap," Kiba nodded. "To be precise, beings from Earth who have acquired Legacy Orbs."

The expressions of Miria and Crimson Wolf drastically changed.

They have acquired Legacy Orbs. If they followed Kiba's line of thoughts, the obvious conclusion was that they were either food or foundation for these corpses! Neither of them sounded good!

"After one acquires a Legacy Orb, it takes a lot of time for them to serve their real use," Kiba explained. "The use is obviously transforming the consciousness of the host into that of the legacy master. Furthermore, with the host training in abilities similar to the legacy master, their body would also somewhat turn like that of the legacy master."

"….." Mountain Lord and others only silently listened.

"Such a host would serve both as food and foundation because his body wouldn't resist the corpse of the legacy master. After all, our bodies only refuse foreign agents…but with the mind in perfect sync, there should be no such resistance!"

Miria's eyes squinted.

"So the process of revival is fusing the dead and alive!?"

Kiba nodded yet again.

"Yeap! Because only this method ensures the natural laws can be tricked."

Mountain Lord understood what Kiba meant.

Nature has fixed rules about life and death, something it followed on the behest of Fate.

And they were impossible to break.

Crimson Wolf trembled. He couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't this also mean this isn't a true revival of the dead! Maybe it can be called a type of cloning or fusion, but definitely not bringing dead to life!"

"Well, even if this isn't true revival, it serves the purpose," Kiba explained with a wry smile. "After all, it ensures the Celestial Elysian Plane gets another chance."

Miria glanced at the furious Black Fog and then at Kiba.

"Since we have only recently acquired Legacy Orbs, we are nowhere near the perfect hosts. Is that's the reason behind fog's fury?"

"Partly yes," Kiba answered. "The other reason is there are countless Legacy Orbs without any hosts."

Miria nodded in understanding. Ice Queen's destruction has almost awakened 70% of the corpses here. Most of them wouldn't find the food and foundation they need, and in the end, they would decompose. It would be a terrible loss for the Celestial Elysian Plane.

"Grrr!"

Suddenly, her attention was pulled by a growling sound. She turned around and saw a female corpse charging at her, slashing a weapon that resembled a katana.

"My legacy master…" Miria whispered as she pulled her katana out of the scabbard.

The host would naturally try to acquire a Legacy Orb that has an affinity to their own abilities. This female corpse's abilities were similar to Miria's. Even though the Legacy Orb hasn't served its purpose, the corpse felt Miria was her ticket to nirvana. That's why she rushed at Miria instead of the spatial tunnel.

Clang!

As her weapon slammed into Miria's katana, a deafening sound erupted, and a force exploded between them. Both the corpse and Miria jumped back, and without resting for a moment, the corpse once again charged at Miria.

Just then, Kiba appeared behind the corpse and grabbed her throat.

"Evolution Obliteration."

The force that usually emerged from Evolution Field erupted from his hand and rushed into her throat. Her skin split apart, and her insides started disintegrating.

Miria was startled. She knew Kiba was strong, but not to such an extent that he could crush an alien being like a cockroach.

"Why are you helping me?" Miria asked.

She was baffled that he would not only explain the mechanism of corpses but even provide help.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not helping you," Kiba answered. "But only repaying you three for what you did in Delta City."

"?!" Miria, Mountain Lord, and Crimson Lord were confused. All they did was stop Extermination from his genocidal actions.

Why would that make Kiba feel like he owed them?

Kiba didn't explain. Letting go of the disintegrating corpse, he said, "Besides, you three can handle the corpses of your legacy masters. So destroying the corpses would hardly be a repayment."

He waved his hand, and three dazzling pills appeared before Miria and others. The pills released energy that resonated with their minds, making them feel it contained an essence that could boost their psyche.

"Long ago, someone tried to turn my mind into a vegetable and almost succeeded," Kiba said with a sigh. "I created these pills to avoid similar situations, but thankfully no situation arrived where they have to be used. Still, I recently enhanced them with Power Cosmic so that they could suit someone of my level in case a need arises."

Miria grabbed the pill before her and nodded. The other two did the same.

Legacy Orb targeted thoughts. While the pills might not be entirely capable of blocking that effect, they would greatly help them. After all, now that the three knew the dangers of Legacy Orbs, they would be on their guards. So it would be practically impossible for Legacy Orbs to transform their consciousness.

"In the future, you can ask for my help, but only for yourselves. That should settle the scores."

"..."

Miria and others didn't say anything.

Kiba put a hand into his back pocket and took out a card. He handed it to Miria and said, "Take care."

After saying this, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed away.

Crimson Wolf and Mountain Lord exchanged glances. Kiba has claimed he owed three of them, so why did he hand his contact card only to Miria?

Could it be that he didn't have enough cards?

Miria brought her eyes to the card and tapped it. A holographic projection activated, and magical words floated out.

Twin nurses emerged in the projection, and Miria felt they looked familiar.

[No matter the type of pain or injury, the doctor has the omnipotent tonic for you!]

The first nurse claimed with a sweet smile.

[You can take it orally or get it injected deep inside you! The choice is yours and yours alone!]

[Dr. NTR's glistening, sticky white tonic has a proven track record!] The second nurse added. [Over ten thousand testimonies from our loving customers!]

[Book an appointment now!] Both nurses claimed in unison. [Click here!]

A virtual button appeared, and the nurses pointed at it.

Miria: "Aren't these two the crazy twins?"

Crimson Wolf: "Seems so… but from when did they become nurses?"

Mountain Lord: "Can any patient be safe with them around?"

Miria felt the same. Still, she couldn't but help wonder, "Just what is Dr. NTR's tonic for the twins to praise it like that?"
