Chapter 99: Blacklight Virus, Show Me Your Limits!!!
"What's wrong, vampire? Is this all you've got?"
Chang Wei chuckled as he spoke.
In less than half an hour since the release of the River of Death, he and Anderson, the wielder of the Holy Nail, had almost completely wiped it out. Nearly a hundred thousand undead had been slain—or rather, devoured by the two of them.
Alucard knew this couldn't go on. He had underestimated these two unprecedented monsters. Even if the original Van Helsing were resurrected, he wouldn't stand a chance against them.
Each of them alone was enough to give him trouble, let alone both of them together. Though they were enemies, they were also a terrifying force to deal with.
So, he chose to recall the River of Death.
If he let it continue, these two monsters would consume all the souls within it, leaving him with nothing to fight with.
The overweight Major glanced at Ensign Schrödinger beside him.
It's often said that an observer sees the clearest picture. Ten minutes ago, he had already realized that Alucard's River of Death was powerless against these two creatures. The next logical step for Alucard would be to retract it.
At this point, he had nothing left. Chang Wei's sudden devouring of London had destroyed over ninety percent of his arrangements and plans. Even his contingency, Walter, was gone. The Doctor was gone as well.
All he had left was his final trump card—Ensign Schrödinger.
"Well then, Major, farewell."
Schrödinger grinned, turned around, and walked away, completely unconcerned with the Major's fate.
The Major didn't mind. Where he was now was safe enough for him to witness his final masterpiece before dying without regrets.
Blood began to flow in reverse!
The blood covering the ruins of old London, the River of Death itself, was now reversing its flow. It eerily lifted off the ground, surging toward Alucard. The spectacle was as grand as countless streams merging into a vast ocean. Overhead, rivers of blood flowed and were absorbed into Alucard's body.
Yet, even as he marched forward, drinking in the blood, Alucard also advanced toward Chang Wei and Anderson.
Drinking while fighting—that was exactly what he wanted.
But then, Chang Wei suddenly acted.
Everyone had assumed Chang Wei would remain motionless, waiting for challengers to come at him, only to swat them away with his invincible might.
They had grown used to his patterns, so none of them had expected him to move.
His target—Anderson, who had fully fused with the Holy Nail!
Chang Wei was greedy. He both feared and coveted the mysterious powers of this world—its gods, demons, and supernatural forces. The Holy Nail, a divine relic imbued with Helena's power, a fragment of a miracle, was especially tempting.
Even if it seemed vastly weaker than him, Chang Wei wouldn't pass it up. Bit by bit, small gains accumulate—this was something ingrained in him since childhood. Nothing should go to waste!
Anderson had no chance to resist. He didn't even register Chang Wei's speed before his body was impaled—his heart ripped out!
His heartless body stood still for a moment before countless thorns erupted from it, swarming toward Chang Wei in an attempt to reclaim the heart.
But before the thorns could even reach him, Chang Wei's Blacklight Virus had already devoured the heart. With a mere thought, he crushed the approaching thorns into dust with his telekinesis.
"So… this is divine power?"
As soon as he absorbed the heart, Chang Wei felt something trying to seize control of his body. The Blacklight Virus surged violently, fighting against the mysterious force attempting to overwhelm him.
At first, he worried that the Blacklight Virus wouldn't be strong enough. But soon, he realized he'd been overthinking it. The virus, having evolved to such an extent, was no longer ordinary.
The mysterious energies of vampire progenitors and werewolf blood had subtly influenced and strengthened the virus.
After all, it was a supervirus that constantly evolved. Every influence, every variable, was fuel for its growth.
Just like how Godzilla mutates—fall into a black hole, and it becomes Black Hole G; enter space, and it becomes Space G; descend into hell, and it becomes Hell G.
As long as it wasn't completely annihilated in an instant, the Blacklight Virus would continue evolving!
"You want to devour even my River of Death?"
Chang Wei noticed that, aside from the G-Virus, T-Virus, and the Progenitor Virus protected by the Super Virus System, the Blacklight Virus was absorbing everything else within him—devouring, destroying, rebirthing, evolving!
At that moment, the Super Virus System displayed a "Blacklight Virus Evolution Available" prompt.
To think that the Blacklight Virus had remained stagnant for so long, and now—suddenly—it was ready to evolve again?
No! The River of Death was an amazing ability! It had mist-form transformation, shadow-form transformation, and even my shadow legion…
"F*** it, take it!!!"
"Blacklight Virus, show me your limits!!!"
"System, give me all the points!!!"
The long-stagnant evolution restarted. With the help of the Super Virus System, the Blacklight Virus became unstoppable. The divine power of Helena's Holy Nail, which had initially resisted, was now completely overwhelmed.
It devoured.
It absorbed.
It fought.
It—was evolving!!!
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
Agony tore through Chang Wei's entire being. His cells, his genes, even his very soul—previously untouched by the Blacklight Virus—were changing.
He felt as if he had been thrown into a hydraulic press, crushed into powder, melted in a furnace, recast into a mold—only to be shattered and reforged again and again…
No idea how much time passed.
Chang Wei collapsed to his knees.
Alucard was puzzled. He had no idea what had just happened to Chang Wei. Why had he suddenly attacked Anderson, devoured his heart, and then fallen silent?
This time, the fusion was too complete. Anderson was gone, erased entirely—his consciousness, his existence, all turned to nothing.
"Die!!!"
Suddenly, a nun wielding a katana appeared before Chang Wei, her blade flashing toward his neck.
Father Anderson was dead.
Takagi Yumie had seen Chang Wei devour Anderson's heart, then watched as Anderson's body disintegrated into nothingness. She snapped.
Yet that alone wouldn't have driven her to a suicidal attack. In the original timeline, it was Walter's desecration of Anderson's remains that made her seek vengeance.
But now—this monster, this horror beyond horrors—was weak!
He had actually fallen to his knees, showing vulnerability for the first time.
She believed this was her chance.
Perhaps, by consuming Anderson's heart, Chang Wei had been harmed by its lingering divine power!
