Chapter 427
Yesterday, the System had used the Adaptive Reward Conversion to turn his pain into power. It had welded thick, dark iron scars over his bleeding wounds. It had protected his body from the zombie bites. But now, the fuel tank was completely, absolutely empty. There was no energy left to keep the magic scars strong.Jonah looked down at his stomach.The thick, glowing iron scar tissue that had sealed the massive scythe wound was beginning to crack.Crackle. Snap. Small, jagged lines appeared in the dark metal skin. It was not red blood that leaked out of the cracks. It was a thick, sick, black slime.The System flashed a new warning. The letters turned from blue to a terrifying, flashing red.[WARNING! VIRAL CONTAINMENT FAILED.][ZOMBIE PATHOGEN DETECTED IN BRAIN STEM.][NEUROLOGICAL CORRUPTION IN PROGRESS.]Jonah’s eyes went completely wide in terror.When the starving "Blessed Ones" had bitten Jonah yesterday, their sick black saliva had entered his blood. The System had used its ma

The sun was a cruel, burning eye in the sky. It was Day Two. Almost forty-eight hours had passed since Jonah was nailed to the rusted steel cross.The brief, glorious moment of ultimate power had faded. Yesterday, Jonah had felt the massive, one-million-percent energy charge. He had flexed his arm. He had bent the thick iron spike. He had scared the guards hiding in the church.But a human body is not a machine. A human body cannot hold the energy of a nuclear bomb forever.The energy had burned out like a fast, bright firework. It had consumed all of his calories. It had burned all of his fat. And then, it had completely vanished. Jonah had fallen unconscious, hanging helplessly on the cross once again.Now, the reality of his terrible situation crashed down on him.The air was incredibly hot. The gray ash falling from the sky mixed with the sweat on Jonah’s face, turning into a thick, dirty gray mud. His lips were cracked and bleeding. His tongue felt like a piece of dry sandpaper.

"You are a fool, Cain," Silas hissed. His voice lost its sweet song. It became sharp and dangerous. "Look at the cultists in the yard. Look at their faces."Cain looked through the glass.The thousands of followers were not looking at Jonah with hate anymore. They were looking at him with awe. Some of them were whispering to each other. Some of them were even bowing their heads toward the glowing giant instead of the church."You wanted to show the world that he was just weak meat," Silas explained coldly. "You wanted to kill the myth. But look at what you are actually broadcasting. You are broadcasting a man who cannot be killed by your holy virus. The monsters bite him, and he burns them away. He takes everything your sickness can do, and he survives it."Silas pointed his gloved finger at the glowing, terrifying figure on the cross."You are not killing a legend, Cain," Silas said. "You are cementing it. You are showing every survivor on the planet that a human being can stand aga
Chapter 424
The zombies chewing on Jonah’s stomach suddenly stopped. They felt a terrible, burning heat radiating from the giant’s skin.The hyper-regeneration began. It was not a gentle, magical healing. It was a violent, brutal, agonizing process.The zombie virus that had entered his blood was instantly attacked by the System. The magic energy boiled Jonah’s blood, literally burning the corrupted black slime out of his veins. Black smoke poured out of Jonah’s mouth and nose as the virus was incinerated from the inside out. Then, the machine began to rebuild his flesh.The massive hole in his stomach, where the zombies had torn away chunks of meat, exploded with red light. Sizzle. Crack.The muscle fibers shot out like fast-moving snakes. They grabbed onto each other. They welded the terrible wound shut in a fraction of a second. But they did not just grow soft pink skin. The System used the Adaptive Reward Conversion to upgrade the damage.The new skin turned instantly into incredibly thick,

The cold wind blew across the dirt courtyard. It carried the terrible smell of rotten meat and old blood.Jonah hung on the massive, rusted steel cross. Thick iron spikes were driven completely through the palms of his hands and the tops of his boots. He could not move. He could not kick. He was completely trapped.Below him, the horde of Blessed Ones gathered. They were not fast monsters. They were slow, starving, heavily mutated zombies. Their skin was covered in the pulsing red and black slime of the Dead Zone. Their jaws hung open, dripping thick, dark saliva onto the gray ash.They looked up at Jonah. They smelled his fresh, hot blood.The first zombie reached the base of the cross. It was a man missing half of his face. The monster raised its dirty, sharp claws. It grabbed Jonah’s left leg.The monster opened its rotting mouth. It bit down incredibly hard into the thick muscle of Jonah’s calf.The pain was absolute. It was raw, burning, and completely human.Jonah locked his ja

BANG! The spike went deeper, locking Jonah’s left hand permanently to the metal cross.The man walked around to the right side. He placed another thick iron spike over Jonah’s right hand.BANG! The spike tore through his right palm. Blood sprayed onto the rusted steel.Jonah’s entire body shook with the terrible shock. His breath came in fast, sharp gasps through his nose. His vision went completely black for a second. The pain was an ocean, and he was drowning in it.Without the magical System, there was no auto-healing. There were no pain blockers. He was feeling every single terrible sensation a human body could feel.BANG! The second spike was hammered deep into the steel.Finally, the man knelt down at Jonah’s feet. He took one last, massive iron spike. He drove it directly through the tops of Jonah’s heavy boots, pinning his feet to the bottom of the steel pole.BANG! BANG! It was done. Jonah was crucified.He hung there in the cold wind, bleeding, broken, and helpless. The pain
