Chapter 307

Jenova virus is a virus that exists in bodily cells and on the spiritual level; its horror lies in the fact that this virus not only erodes your flesh but also alters your mind, turning you into its puppet.

Claude was originally just an ordinary Shinra infantryman, not particularly strong. But after being altered by the Jenova virus, he gained an unimaginable physique. As for his combat experience, where does it come from? Jenova cells simulate a powerful being's combat on the spiritual level, and Claude chose to simulate Zack, so he has such excellent swordsmanship.

Before crossing over, there was a popular saying online that Sephiroth finally lost himself completely and utterly became a puppet of Jenova.

However, upon encountering this Jenova virus, it would be done for me; the life energy and chakra I control, even evil energy, can inflict massive damage on this virus.

"Come on, Mr. Luode, completely eradicate this virus from my body; I no longer want to be controlled by Sephiroth." Claude said with a determined expression.

"I understand! In a moment, no matter what happens, none of you should approach the two of us; it will be a bit painful, but endure it and there will be no danger to life." Luode approached Claude, while the others stood to one side.

Placing his hand on Claude's head, Luode used his own life energy and the spiritual power of chakra to first pull out Claude's entire soul.

Then he directly employed evil energy, beginning a cellular-level search of Claude's body; wherever Jenova virus was found, the evil energy would strike without hesitation, then destroy the virus.

The Jenova virus has indeed evolved to be incredibly perfect and miraculous, but put simply it is also a life form; any life is restrained by evil energy, and there is no life that evil energy cannot kill.

At this point, to outside observers, Claude's eyes and body were entirely glowing green light, with even faint cracks appearing around his skin, through which threads of green light seeped out.

Under the relentless onslaught of evil energy, over half of Claude's cells were killed, while Luode's life force combined with chakra power began repairing his normal cells, ensuring this body would not die.

Evil energy is the frontline warrior, responsible for dealing with the Jenova virus, while life energy and chakra power handle the repair work and battlefield cleanup.

Claude's body would flash dark green light, then shimmer with emerald light, then emit a pale blue glow, the three colors continually mingling within him.

"Hey! Hey! This guy's turned into a colorful lightbulb— is he alright?"

"Don't worry, since Lord Luode said it's fine, there's definitely no problem; we also need to believe in Claude, you idiot!" Tifa clenched her fists and started cheering for Claude.

"Dumbass! Don't worry! With Mr. Luode taking action, there's definitely no problem." Alice also spoke to comfort everyone.

How strange— that emerald-green force resembles the power of the Life Stream, and seems even purer than it. As for the blue force, it also contains a life force.

But that dark green force is different— it is pure destruction, devastation, evil; indeed, even in Alice's feeling, it seems more terrifying than the Jenova virus? What immense power does Mr. Luode wield!

After about half an hour, Luode set up an evil energy barrier around himself! Some Jenova virus, seeing it could not remain in Claude's body, tried to flee, but were blocked by the barrier and then destroyed.

Finally! All of the Jenova virus inside Claude was burned away completely clean by Luode's evil energy.

After doing all that, Luode then shoved Claude's soul back into his body.

Moreover, his cells were basically cleaned out; if not for the protection of life energy and chakra, this guy's body would have been burned to ashes by the evil energy!

At this moment, the blond handsome guy was weak to the extreme, sitting on the bed with a listless expression.

His originally inexhaustible stamina and the formidable combat power granted by Jenova had all vanished.

"Claude! Are you alright?" Tifa stepped forward, showing a concerned expression as she asked.

"I'm fine, Tifa, I I feel much better." Claude now only feels utterly weak all over.

"Now I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news to tell you— which would you like to hear first?"

"Mr. Luode, tell the good news first! Let everyone be happy." Alice said.

"The good news is that the Jenova virus inside you has been completely eradicated by me, and I have also cleansed your spiritual level spotless, so you will no longer be affected by Sephiroth."

"Great! Finally rid of that guy, thank you, Mr. Luode!" The lingering nightmare in my heart—the Sephiroth spirit that occasionally appeared before me—will no longer appear.

"Don't rush to thank me; next is the bad news: all your power came from Jenova, and losing it, you should also know what the consequence is.

You went from being a top-tier super warrior to an ordinary person, like your days as a Shinra grunt— in terms of combat power, you're only slightly stronger than an average person!

"It's fine, Claude; you can retrain, and I believe you'll surely catch up." Tifa comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Claude gave a bitter smile, wondering if he could really catch up; he himself knows his aptitude— without the Jenova virus's help, he would be just an ordinary person.

After so many years in the Shinra military, he didn't even qualify for the Shinra soldier enhancements; starting from scratch, how could he possibly gain great strength!

"Sorry, Tifa, I'm afraid I can't fight anymore!" Claude shook his head and said.

He now can't even lift his Buster Sword for sure, and even the few spells he once mastered came from materia.

"Mr. Luode, can you give Claude great power?" Alice approached Luode's side and whispered her question.

"There is, but what's in it for me?"

"How about I accompany you on a date once more?"

"You haven't fulfilled what you said last night!" Moreover, compared to dating, I prefer a home run! Bastard! Isn't dating just for men to hit a home run with women?

"Otherwise, who would want to accompany a woman shopping?" "Don't be so greedy! How about I wear a swimsuit for you in private?" Alice said.

"You put it on, then let me cough cough! I'll help this kid gain great power." Luode whispered in Alice's ear.

"I want to play the unspoken rule now— what can you do to me?" "Ah!! Mr. Luode, you're being too greedy!" Alice's face flushed red as she spoke.

"This is too bold! She originally thought her offensive would leave the young man unable to resist, but she didn't expect Mr. Luode to be even more direct!"

Although Mr. Luode claims to be a demigod or even a true god–level being, Alice has a vague feeling that he is about her age, perhaps only a few years older. Moreover, from him emanates a verdant life aura and immense life energy.

This indeed made Alice deeply intoxicated; even smelling Luode's scent excited her to the extreme, purely physiological excitement— you know, last night she was excited and didn't sleep.

A powerful life form actually has a deadly attraction for her, an ancient Cetra.

"At least go on a couple of dates with me! I don't know you very well yet!"

One sentence, will you answer or not?

All right, all right! I'll let you off easy, I'll just agree to you.

After I go back, I want to... mess with you.

Sigh! Over the top! I regret it!

Regretting is useless!

Who asked you to come flirt with me? If I don't give you a proper beating, how can I live up to my demigod title?

Actually, even if Alice doesn't come to ask, Luode intends to restore Claude's combat power; although Genoa's power has been removed.

But the combat experience was preserved, Luode still wanted to watch Claude and Sephiroth love and kill each other! "Don't worry, I will give you a new kind of power, this power is called chakra, which can give you strong combat power, and I will also teach you how to use rage energy." Luode said.

After dragging this world into the Warcraft universe, this planet will also spread the various professions of the Azeroth world; broadcasting rage energy now is not a big problem.

This kind of power, Haki, must be trained in the pirate world, but if it's fel energy or rage, chakra and such, as long as Luode has mastered it, then in other worlds Luode can also broadcast it.

Warrior's rage energy. Put simply, it is a mental power combined with life force, using intense anger to stimulate the body, burning life, erupting in strong combat power.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Luode. Please, please teach me this power! Let me be able to defeat Sephiroth." Claude said.

Luode nodded, then injected a spiritual energy seed into Claude, and used a strand of life energy to activate his body, making his physical strength increase.

"I'll teach you another move; this move is called the Eight Gates Formation. It is a technique that trains the physique to its extreme, then erupts, instantly gaining great power. Besides that, there are various warrior skills." Luode said.

Claude isn't very good at practicing magic, so taking the pure warrior path based on the body is enough.

Spiritual energy-based body technique, combined with the Eight Gates Formation, and then combined with the warrior's rage burst, the combat power won't differ much.

Luode really wanted to see Claude open the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, of the Eight Gates Formation, and then turn into a blood-red storm to violently beat Sephiroth.

But it seems not enough! Sephiroth's power at his peak—this kid has rage, and even if he bursts the Eight Gates, he might not be a match, after all, Jenova is a cheat.

So I'll also give you a cheat, then. In the parallel world of Naruto, Luode completely absorbed the Nine-Tails' spiritual energy and soul energy.

After letting the Nine-Tails' soul recover to its peak state, then completely erasing the Nine-Tails' soul memories, turning it into a blank slate, and then injecting a large amount of Ten-Tails' spiritual energy, letting it return to its peak.

This tailed beast is merely an experimental work; as long as not too much Ten-Tails' spiritual energy is drawn at once, this creature can also recover itself.

Luode directly sealed this blank Nine-Tails into Claude's body; then he would watch Claude activate the Nine-Tails Spiritual Energy Mode, then burst out the Eight Gates Formation, burst forth the warrior's soaring rage, and go strike Sephiroth.

A crimson spiritual energy power rose from Claude's body, then vanished, forming a black seal pattern on his chest.

"The usage of spiritual energy, as well as the warrior's skills, I have already imprinted into your mind; you just need to practice and learn on your own. As for the new power I gave you, that thing inside your body is called the Nine-Tails."

"It is a pure energy-being life, equivalent to a newborn child; you can communicate well with him, then draw on his power—remember to befriend him!" Luode said.

Let me test just how strong this Nine-Tails I made is.

"Hmm! I will try to befriend him." Claude felt the strong power re-emerging inside him, and with a determined expression said.

This is no longer Jenova's power; I can finally rely on this power to defeat Sephiroth.

"Heh heh, then doesn't that mean there's a newborn baby inside Claude's body?" Barrett said.

"." Claude.

"." Tifa.

Oh no, my childhood friend has a newborn baby inside; what should I do?

At this moment, Claude's appearance also suddenly changed—six beards grew on his face, matching that head of blond hair, really quite stylish.

"Hey hey! Claude! Why did you grow such weird beard? It's like a fox!" Barrett said.

"This counts as a minor side effect, after all, the thing sealed in your body is a nine-tailed fox."

"It's fine, if it's just a beard, I can shave it off." Claude said.

It's just a beard, not a big problem.

"No! The side effect is that the moment you shave off the beard, it will instantly grow back." The beard grown from the Nine-Tails' power—try shaving it.

A blond-haired youth's face needs six beards to be perfect!

Next, Tifa, Barrett, and Claude three will go out on a mission, acting as all-purpose mercenaries, to increase their strength and become familiar with spiritual energy and rage power. (End of chapter)
