Chapter 559: The Heartwarming Backstory

Before the horrified eyes of everyone, suddenly, a hideous and ugly tentacle grew out from Chen Chen’s palm.

Then, Chen Chen’s body began to swell rapidly and there was a sound of bone growing in his body. Chen Chen could not help bending down and bowing his body. Following that, there was a sharp “crack” and huge bone spurs sprouted out on Chen Chen’s back!

“Roar—!”

At the moment when those bone spurs erupted, Chen Chen only felt an extremely pleasant release. He roared in a low voice but his voice had turned into a dull bass boom. Still, although it was bass, it rumbled until many soldiers threw off their helmets and armor, and quickly covered their ears!

Chen Zeyu only felt the rumbling in his ears and his ears immediately overflowed with blood but before he could react, he was dragged back by a few bodyguards. At this moment, anyone could see that Chen Chen was not in a normal state!

“Rip!”

After that, there was the sound of cloth tearing. At this point, Chen Chen’s flexible skin was stretched to the extreme, tearing apart to expose the swelling and growing muscles inside!

However, Chen Chen’s skin began to heal at an even more alarming speed and at the same time, a thick bone layer emerged on the surface of the skin. This bone layer continued to grow across his body and even his face started to change!

The corners of Chen Chen’s mouth were pulled up in a beastly grin and the two rows of teeth that had been growing continuously became densely packed fangs. Moreover, the bone layer covered his cheeks like a mask!

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

A bellows-like panting constantly erupted from Chen Chen’s chest and a trail of hot mist continued to spray out from Chen Chen’s nose and mouth. Chen Chen closed his eyes slightly. Everyone only saw that his hollow eye sockets were dark at first, then two scarlet pupils flared up like charcoal embers!

“Power, I feel endless power!”

Chen Chen straightened up again but at this time, his body had grown from 1.8 meters to 4 meters. He stretched his body wantonly and looked down with a grinning smile at the Chen family who was retreating quickly. “Isn’t it a little late to run now?”

With that, Chen Chen stepped off one foot.

“Boom!”

In an instant, Chen Chen rushed into the line of defense at a speed close to the speed of sound. Many soldiers could not react at all before they were flipped over by Chen Chen into the air. Blood streamed into the sky like a never-ending fountain!

At this moment, Chen Chen’s reaction speed had reached a terrifying extent. In front of him, the entire world seemed to be in slow motion. Even when he flung away dozens of soldiers, their faces had not even twisted into an expression of terror and the splashing blood seemed to be frozen in the sky!

Chen Chen stepped forward once again and he created ripples directly in the air. At this moment, the air seemed to become liquid. Chen Chen continued to flick at the soldiers on the right. The tentacle in his hand was like a whip, halving a group of soldiers at their waist!

Even so, the soldiers had not even aimed their muzzles at him!

This kind of speed and reactivity was already worlds apart from human beings...

Whether it was guns or swords, bullets or rocket launchers, they were all projectiles that were only moving at Chen Chen’s speed. He squatted and swiped again. More than a dozen soldiers were crushed to pieces. The line of defense built by sandbags was like paper and mud, and it could not hold back Chen Chen at all!

This was purely Chen Chen’s physical power!

However, Chen Chen discovered that after slicing open the bodies of the soldiers, the tentacles in his hand instinctively sucked up the blood of those soldiers. At the same time, a sense of satiation poured into Chen Chen’s body, replenishing part of Chen Chen’s body that had exhausted an immense amount of energy.

“This is...”

Chen Chen’s heart jolted.

However, at the next moment, several dish-shaped fighters suddenly flew out of the darkness at a height of 100 meters. In the fighters, those pilots had already locked onto Chen Chen’s figure.

“The target is in our camp. If we fire now, it will cause a lot of casualties to our army!”

Faced with the order from the higher-ups to immediately destroy the intruder, the pilot who was the captain replied immediately.

“Don’t worry about our troops, fire immediately. I repeat, fire immediately!”

However, the radio still gave the death order to fire.

Seeing this, a rueful look flashed in the captain pilot’s eyes and he resolutely said, “All formations listen to my order, fire immediately. I repeat, fire immediately!”

“Swoosh!”

In an instant, five missiles swaying with scarlet tail lights sped toward Chen Chen with lightning speed!

“Hmm?”

Chen Chen tilted his head, watching the missiles that were gradually moving toward him. He suddenly took a deep breath and at the same time, the Field in his mind burst out!

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”

In the next second, the ground in front of Chen Chen exploded as if there was a buried high explosive and next was the area further ahead. The concrete surface, weighing a thousand pounds, erupted endlessly in flying smithereens. If one looked down from above, one would see that the ground in front of Chen Chen was cracking outward continuously in a spreading fan shape. The aftershock of this explosion quickly moved forward. At the moment it came into contact with those missiles, all the missiles exploded directly in the air!

Even so, this was not the end. The invisible force continued to move forward. The five fighters did not even have time to react before they exploded and turned into five bright fireworks...

Only then did everyone react. They only saw that the ground in front of Chen Chen seemed to have been bombarded by cluster bombs. The invisible shockwave had even rushed into the sky, completely detonating the fighter planes hundreds of meters high!

“It’s not only my physical body, but my Field power has also been greatly enhanced. This power... Is it more than ten times stronger than my original form?”

Chen Chen looked at the palm of his hand in surprise and then once again set his eyes on the group of trembling soldiers. His charcoal-fiery eyes just scanned them once and the remaining soldiers knelt to the ground without thinking, and shakily put down the weapons in their hands.

“Surrender, we surrender!”

Rows of soldiers knelt down one after another, their spirits having been disintegrated by Chen Chen’s Earth-shattering power.

“Capture them!”

Seeing this, Chen Chen also stopped. He was not a bloodthirsty person. Since the opponent had stopped, he did not bother to continue slaughtering this group of troops who could not put up any resistance.

Following Chen Chen’s order, a dozen Black Knights immediately stepped forward and captured the hundreds of soldiers.

As Chen Chen walked back to X-112, X-112 could not help asking with some worry, “Sir Commander, why did you transform yourself again? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Uncomfortable?”

Chen Chen cracked his neck and laughed in a low voice like a bellows. “I’ve never felt better.”

Seeing this, X-112 stopped asking. He turned to look at the Blacklight Building. “Chen Zeyu has led most of the Chen family to escape back into the Blacklight Building, but don’t worry, our Black Knights are waking up so they can’t run away. Now, what I’m worried about is the military camp a dozen kilometers away from Blacklight City. Currently, the first batch of reinforcements has been defeated, but at least 50,000 troops are on the way. Can your power defeat them?”

“It’s just fifty thousand troops from the Second World War. I can’t be bothered with these people.”

Chen Chen stretched out a fist and squeezed it slightly. “But what about our memetic weapons? Does the other party have such power?”

“Don’t worry, Sir Commander.”

X-112 immediately replied, “X wouldn’t possibly allow anyone other than you to own this deadly weapon. What’s more, even if you give it to them, they will not have the conditions for research. Those memetic weapons have all been transferred to Mars and there’s none of that left on the Earth.”

“Very well.”

Hearing this, Chen Chen nodded. He thought for a while. Suddenly, a cloud of mist hissed out over his body and then his body shrank again. In just the blink of an eye, Chen Chen’s body had shrunk to the size of an ordinary person and he had recovered his previous appearance.

“As I thought...”

Chen Chen looked at himself and he found that he had not become skinny as he would have previously. There was just a slight sense of weakness. This inference immediately made Chen Chen’s heart leap with joy.

“It turns out that since the last injection, the G-virus has remained in my body. Now when it encounters the psionic activation of the Consciousness Stealer, such a huge reaction is produced...”

At this point, Chen Chen understood almost everything.

Consciousness Stealers could be reborn. In addition to infecting human consciousness and turning them into its nourishment, it had the ability to also fuse human bodies.

This ability naturally came with the so-called psionic energy, which was a weird power that could alter the DNA code.

Therefore, after Chen Chen’s Field energy and psionic energy were merged, his Field energy also began to show psionic traits. This ability allowed him to re-optimize his DNA and turned him into the form that had been injected with G-virus.

Those tentacles were the power of the Consciousness Stealer that Chen Chen had stripped away. This power allowed him to continuously absorb nutrients and replenish the nutrients in his body.

Therefore, Chen Chen remained in his previous state even after he changed back into his own form, instead of being weakened for more than a month like when he was injected with G-virus.

Even his Field had been greatly enhanced.

Nonetheless, what surprised Chen Chen was that this state could be activated at any time. As long as he absorbed enough nutrients during the battle, he could quickly make up for it.

The only flaw was that Chen Chen was becoming farther and farther away from being a human.

“Find me a shirt first.”

Chen Chen said with an icy expression, “After half an hour, I want to see the Blacklight Building reopen, understand?”

“Yes!”

...

Half an hour later, before the reinforcements of Blacklight City arrived, a new melee broke out in the Blacklight Building. This melee occurred extremely abruptly and even the group of prisoners were stunned.

Nevertheless, this battle lasted only about ten minutes. The gate of the Blacklight Building that had been closed was now reopened. At the same time, teams of Black Knights rushed out and beside them, the beaten-down Chen family was detained.

Among these people, Chen Lin and Chen Zeyu were all included.

Looking at these dejected Chen family members, Chen Chen seemed to be looking at strangers. At the same time, some Chen family members were already spinning their brains, thinking of ways to win Chen Chen’s favor.

After all, seeing that Chen Chen did not even do anything to Chen Zhicheng and his two subordinates, all of whom had offended him, a seed of hope had sprouted in some of their hearts.

It seemed that Blacklight City was about to undergo a major reshuffle...

“Sir Commander!”

The Black Knight stepped forward again and X-112 reported, “I’ve regained all the authority of Blacklight City including the authority of the army. All the troops have been ordered to retreat and return, and those high-level Chen family members who didn’t obey the military order have also been arrested by their own adjutants. They can be sent to Blacklight City tomorrow.”

“Very good.”

Chen Chen nodded stoically. He walked slowly to Chen Zeyu and stared at this younger brother who was closest to his bloodline.

Chen Zeyu slowly lowered his head, afraid to look at Chen Chen’s eyes.

“Where are Mom and Dad?”

Suddenly, Chen Chen asked in a low voice, “Where did Mom and Dad go in the year of the Great Fusion?”

“They died.”

Chen Zeyu shook his head, looking numb. “The Consciousness Stealer overturned the entire Eco Science City and our parents died almost at once.”

Hearing these words, Chen Chen could not help taking a deep breath.

Although this was just another timeline where he existed, it did not mean that this was not the real world. This world was not any different from his reality, except for its history.

At this time, hearing the news of the death of his parents in this world, Chen Chen’s thoughts suddenly became a little complicated.

Chen Chen could not tell what kind of feeling it was. It felt like gladness, rage, and remorse.

Chen Chen was glad that in his original world, his parents were still alive and he had defeated the Consciousness Stealer, which meant that his parents could live a long, long time. With the development of Blacklight Biotechnology, his parents could live even longer.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen took a deep breath. He looked at Chen Zeyu as if he was looking at a dead man. “Very well...”

Chen Chen nodded, turned, and walked toward the Blacklight Building.

The Black Knight immediately followed him. “Sir Commander, what should we do with this group of people? Also, after this fierce battle across the entire city, many people are already thinking of escape.”

“Escape? Where would they escape to?”

Chen Chen asked.

“It may be Survivor City in the North Sea Continent or it may be Fantasy Night City also in the North Sea Continent.”

X-112 replied, “These two cities aren’t far away from us.”

Hearing this, Chen Chen could not help but hesitate and then said, “I’m here to take advantage of the strength of the Joint Resistance Army, so I can’t swoop in and take over just like that. In that case, for the sake of legitimacy and the maintenance of the city’s order, you have to prepare a public trial assembly.”

“A public trial assembly?”

X-112 tilted his head, seemingly puzzled.

“That means, I’ll judge them myself.”

Chen Chen gave a cold smirk. “Collect all the evidence of the crimes of this group of people and publicly expose all the crimes they have committed over the years. Don’t tell me that this group of people hasn’t committed any crime over more than 300 years?

“Of course, that’s impossible.”

X-112 shook his head immediately. “On the contrary, most of them have committed crimes, many, many crimes...”

“Then, what are you waiting for?”

Chen Chen replied and walked forward step by step, moving into the core of Blacklight City, the Blacklight Building, with the air of a victor.
