Chapter 161: Hope Infecting the Whole World!

On Su Hao's body, there are two items that can increase their own volume by consuming energy.

One of them is the polluted meat lump, i. e., the current corrupted meat lump, which can convert surrounding objects into polluted meat lump.

The other is proliferating flesh, which, after absorbing energy, can complete self-proliferation.

According to Su Hao's speculation, if the corrupted meat lump and proliferating flesh are synthesized, the resulting new item will definitely have a higher proliferation efficiency.

Su Hao wants to build an army of hell demons in the future, which would require a large amount of materials; relying on trade or hunting them himself is obviously unrealistic.

According to Su Hao's plan, he intends to obtain the materials needed to refine hell demons through the replication of infinite cells.

To increase the number of infinite cells, a large amount of fresh flesh must be used.

That is to say, given sufficient energy crystals, the more fresh flesh Su Hao has, the more infinite cells there are, the more material can be replicated, and thus more regional demons can be refined.

So, Su Hao plans to synthesize the corrupted meat lump once again.

Immediately, Su Hao took out 100 kilograms of proliferating meat lump from his storage bag and used today's third synthesis opportunity.

Although the materials used in this synthesis are again a second-tier and a third-tier item, the required time is more than double that of the previous synthesis.

After over an hour had passed, the golden light sphere wrapped around the two items burst into dazzling golden light, and a meat lump weighing about 100 kilograms appeared before Su Hao's eyes.

Compared to the corrupted meat lump, this lump of flesh appears bloodier and more disgusting, with bright red blood flowing across its surface.

A strong bloody smell wafted from the lump, instantly filling the entire room.

Moreover, the blood-red meat buds on the lump appear more numerous and wriggle with a higher frequency, making it extremely unfriendly to those with trypophobia.

That is, as Su Hao is the Bloody Bone Demon, he feels no aversion to all bloody and disgusting things, so he can watch such a sanity‑shattering scene before him without any inner disturbance.

Immediately, Su Hao slightly moved his thoughts and used the Item Appraisal Technique on this bloody flesh.

【Corrupted Source Body】

Supernatural Grade: Fourth Tier

Effect: By absorbing the energy of surrounding objects, it can convert them into corrupted flesh, increasing the volume of the Corrupted Source Body and raising its Supernatural Grade.

If there are energy objects such as energy crystals to provide power for the Corrupted Source Body, it can achieve self‑proliferation and also speed up the conversion of surrounding objects into corrupted flesh.

After converting surrounding objects into corrupted flesh, there is a certain probability that they will become Corrupted Propagators.

Corrupted Propagators likewise have the ability to convert all surrounding objects into corrupted flesh, and their conversion speed is faster than that of the Corrupted Source Body.

The more Corrupted Propagators there are, the faster the conversion to corrupted flesh proceeds, the faster the Corrupted Source Body's self‑proliferation becomes, and the faster its Supernatural Grade rises.

……

"Supernatural Grade Fourth Tier?!"

Looking at the content displayed on the appraisal result, Su Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes; this is the first fourth‑tier Supernatural item he has ever synthesized.

As a fourth‑tier Supernatural item, the Corrupted Source Body's power is far beyond what a third‑tier Supernatural item can match. Although the appraisal results show that its effects are similar to those of the corrupted meat lump, in reality they are not.

First, after synthesizing the proliferating flesh, the Corrupted Source Body indeed gains the ability of self‑proliferation, thereby increasing the speed at which it expands its own volume.

Moreover, the Corrupted Source Body can convert surrounding objects into corrupted meat lump without needing extra energy.

Second, the Corrupted Propagators produced by the Corrupted Source Body are also stronger than the Corrupted Infectors produced by the corrupted meat lump.

Both have the ability to convert surrounding objects into corrupted flesh, but the conversion speed of the Corrupted Infectors cannot compare to that of the corrupted flesh itself.

However, Corrupted Propagators are different; their speed of converting surrounding objects into corrupted flesh can even exceed that of the Corrupted Source Body.

Furthermore, the more Corrupted Propagators there are, the faster the conversion of surrounding objects into corrupted flesh proceeds, while the Corrupted Source Body's self‑proliferation speed also increases, and the rate at which its Supernatural Grade rises becomes faster as well.

If the Corrupted Source Body can produce enough Corrupted Propagators, then even if Su Hao does nothing, simply placing the Corrupted Source Body in an uninhabited location will suffice.

It can then, by absorbing energy from surrounding objects, convert every reachable place into corrupted flesh and simultaneously generate more Corrupted Propagators, further accelerating the corruption.

As long as no external force interferes, any place will become corrupted flesh or Corrupted Propagators, turning into part of the Corrupted Source Body.

If this continues, the Corrupted Source Body will absolutely become a terrifying natural disaster, against which all things in the world find it hard to resist its erosion.

If left uncontrolled, theoretically the entire world could turn into Corrupted Source Body.

"At least the Dark Forest cannot resist this erosion; sooner or later it will become part of the Corrupted Source Body!"

Su Hao smiled faintly, somewhat looking forward to seeing that day arrive soon.

If that moment truly arrives, Su Hao could become the ruler of the Dark Forest with just a single Corrupted Source Body; however, even if he channels all his energy crystals into the Corrupted Source Body, achieving this is not simple and would require a great deal of time.

Subsequently, Su Hao, using the method shown in the appraisal result, left a mark at the core of the Corrupted Source Body, becoming its eternal and sole master, able to control its corruption speed and direction.

Next, he took this 100‑kilogram Corrupted Source Body, rode the Da Xiong Mao toward the outside of the Sanctuary, and arrived at a point about 15 kilometers from the Sanctuary.

"Right here."

Su Hao picked up an iron shovel, dug a deep pit in the ground, placed the 100‑kilogram Corrupted Source Body inside, and set the direction of corruption.

From now on, the Corrupted Source Body will take this location as its starting point and begin eroding along the territory's boundary toward the Dark Forest.

If things go smoothly, in the future the Dark Forest, aside from Su Hao's own territory, will entirely become part of the Corrupted Source Body, turning into a vast expanse of bright red flesh.

However, this position lies on the outskirts of the territory, and the current forces within the territory cannot form a protective force for this spot.

To ensure the safety of the Corrupted Source Body, sufficient defensive forces must still be arranged around it.

Afterward, Su Hao first gathered the previously refined Tyrannical Devil Ox and Demonic Flame Pumpkin Head.

However, this amount of strength is still a little too little.

Immediately, Su Hao took out the Secret Veil Cover, entered it, and began today's fourth synthesis.
