Chapter 449: I’m Betting on a Plague
Her mind immediately conjured up the image of that stupid brain turning into a massive lump of flesh and blood being rapidly devoured by those mechanical insects. Just thinking about it sent shivers of terror through her.
Lynn didn't say another word. He tossed the monocle into the System Space, then reached out and ripped off all his Night Doctor gear, throwing it into the System Space as well.
At this moment, wearing only a pair of boxers, Lynn stood smiling and enigmatic amidst the howling gale.
He reached down.
He threw his one and only pair of boxers behind him as well.
"I know exactly what I'm doing. In fact, if I don't use this, my plan won't work at all."
*Click—*
He popped the cork off a bottle of [Flesh Proliferation Potion]. The blood-red liquid instantly emitted a faint, metallic scent.
The corner of Lynn's mouth curled up. He then reached out with his fingers, *squelching* them into his right eye socket, slowly prying his eyeball out.
Into the dark, empty socket.He stuffed the [Cursed Eye].
"It might hurt a bit. Could even be the most painful experience I've ever had. But it's fine. Pain is good for your health."
In an instant, Lynn sharply turned his gaze towards the surging "dust" storm, a frenzied grin abruptly tearing across his face.
"Zuo Zuo! I'm going berserk!"
The crimson Flesh Proliferation Potion was instantly poured down his throat.
The scorching medicinal liquid cascaded down his esophagus, flooded into his stomach, and then rapidly transformed into a violent surge of power that rushed towards every tissue in his body.
"This isn't enough yet. Let's add a curse."
Lynn violently smashed the empty Flesh Proliferation Potion bottle on the ground. The Cursed Eye fixed its gaze upon his own hands.
In that instant, it was as if countless evil spirits were cackling madly within his eyeball.
Black blood and chaotic dark lines erupted from his black pupil, instantly spreading across half his face.
"Curse!"
"Flesh and Blood Riot! (ps: see Chapter 367 for details)"
"Activate!"
[Warning! Warning! You are casting a curse upon yourself! This action may lead to anomalous consequences! Proceed with caution!]
But Lynn completely ignored the System's warning.
Almost in that same moment.
Under the combined effects of the Flesh Proliferation Potion and the Flesh and Blood Riot curse.
His body suddenly began to swell. His frenzied grin was instantly crushed and buried within the riotous flesh expanding chaotically around him.
Massive tentacles sprouted and extended from the riotous flesh.
Ten meters!
Fifty meters!
One hundred meters!
As the flesh expanded and proliferated madly, Lynn was completely transformed amidst the riot into a massive flesh polymer, utterly unrecognizable as a human form.
Under the influence of the Flesh and Blood Riot curse, he had almost become a massive, twisted entity similar to the one Sen Yi had been "pleasured" to death by earlier.
Eyeballs sprouted one after another from the gigantic flesh polymer.
Frenzy!
Riot!
Indescribable!
"Such a huge lump!!"
The Commander linked to the Aberration Fortress instantly (ΩДΩ) freaked out.
[Ding! Commander SAN -10!]
Seeing that riotous flesh, he was now one hundred percent certain that Lynn was absolutely a high-ranking officer of the Plague Doctors. Because only the Plague Doctors, allied with the Flesh and Blood Cult, possessed the ability to transform themselves into such a state.
That was a curse!
A terrifying curse from the Flesh and Blood Dominator!
But what was he trying to do?!
While such a massive Flesh and Blood Riot would be highly effective against other enemies, what they were facing now were nano-clusters!
And in that very instant, Lynn, controlling his flesh construct, created a vacuum within his own body and completely enveloped Hei Xianyue inside.
Inside his body, he molded a cavity in the shape of Miss Puppet!
"Now, bring it on."
Lynn's deep, gravelly voice rumbled out from the massive flesh construct.
Immediately after, the second wave of Hei Xianyue's energy riot instantly spread out in all directions. All nano-clusters within the area were once again severely affected.
"Decompose him."
Tens of thousands of Mechanical Consciousnesses within the Hive all witnessed Lynn's transformation at this moment.
They were indifferent, not taking him seriously at all.
They even found it laughable.
Because they couldn't fathom the purpose behind his actions.
Becoming so massive would, at most, only delay his death. In fact, doing so provided them with even more material, allowing the nano-clusters to manufacture and divide more rapidly.
"Attack!"
In an instant.
The swarming nano-clusters descended like a storm, instantly covering Lynn's flesh from all directions. His massive, twisted flesh construct began to decompose at a visible, rapid pace.
A portion of the nano-clusters even tunneled deep into the innermost parts of his body, their target precisely Hei Xianyue, whom he had enveloped at the very core.
[Warning! Warning! Your vitality is rapidly draining! All pain has been converted into S&M Power!]
Accompanied by the System prompts ringing in his ears.
Lynn's S&M Power almost instantly reached the max level.
But this time, Lynn did not release it immediately.
Under the impact of the rolling waves of excruciating pain, he maintained an unprecedented level of calm.
"Brain! Stupid Brain!! I already told you! Doing this is useless! Sure, you've become powerful this way, but after losing mobility, you'll just become a sitting duck for them!"
Zuo Zuo screamed urgently.
He was like a lion on the verge of rotting, facing an omnipresent swarm of mosquitoes that wanted to eat his flesh and suck his blood. His massive claws flailed weakly, capable of easily crushing boulders, yet utterly ineffective against the mosquito swarm.
"Brain! Brain!!" Zuo Zuo reminded him anxiously.
Because she simply couldn't figure out Lynn's reasoning for doing this.
"I'm betting."
Lynn replied calmly.
"Betting on what?! Betting that Miss Puppet can sever their connection to the Mechanical Cult before you're killed?!"
Zuo Zuo screamed urgently.
Lynn stated calmly, "No. I'm betting on a plague."
Zuo Zuo shuddered.
Lynn stared intently at the "dust" frantically clinging to and devouring him, saying deeply:
"They are too small. Their numbers are too vast. But this is both their advantage and their disadvantage. And I also know that after severing their connection to the Mechanical Cult, they might become even more terrifying. But at the same time, they will also lose the organizational capability and response mechanisms of the Mechanical Cult."
It's like introducing a pathogen into an ant colony.
It's like releasing an infectious "Poison King" into a city of a million people.
If there is absolute order, mobilization power, and organizational capability, then the moment the slightest sign of viral spread appears, it would immediately attract the organization's attention, leading to comprehensive quarantine and control.
This would contain the casualties within the smallest possible range.
But what if there is no such orderly organizational capability?
What if it's within an absolutely free and absolutely chaotic group?
What would the result be then?
And what Lynn wanted to do...
[Ding! You are performing Random Diagnosis on the nano-machines. Do you wish to immediately exert influence?]
