Chapter 375
A massive ring of crimson fire blasted outward from his foot. It rolled across the floor like a tsunami.Hundreds of monsters were instantly vaporized. The mechanical knights melted into slag. The meat creatures popped like bloody balloons. The clear dogs shattered into glass dust.The entire front half of the massive swarm was wiped out in a single, devastating second.The remaining monsters in the back of the cavern stopped. They turned around. They began to run away. The virus realized it could not win. The glowing, scarred giant was too dangerous.The battle was over. The platform was safe. The cavern was quiet again.Jonah stood alone on the spongy floor. He was breathing heavily. Thick steam poured off his broad shoulders. The glowing iron scars slowly began to cool down. They turned from bright red to a dull, ugly black.He looked at his massive hands. They were covered in thick metal plates of scar tissue. He opened and closed his fists. He felt the phantom pain of a hundred

The System responded instantly.[ADAPTIVE REWARD CONVERSION: ACTIVE.][CURRENT ENERGY RESERVES: LOW.][AWAITING NEW DAMAGE TO CONVERT...]Jonah opened his eyes.The dark brown color of his human eyes vanished. The terrifying, glowing crimson light roared back into his pupils. Rings of pure gold spun around his irises.The thick, iron scars on his stomach and right shoulder began to glow with a dull, hot red light. He looked like a furnace starting to burn."Dad," Kevin whispered. He stepped back. He remembered the horror of watching his father fight earlier. "You promised. You promised you would fight like a human."Jonah did not look at his son. He kept his glowing eyes fixed on the sea of monsters."I lied," Jonah said. His voice was no longer a human rumble. It was a vibrating, heavy, metallic sound. It sounded like an engine running on blood and fire.Jonah reached behind his back. He grabbed his heavy black rifle.He did not aim it at the monsters. He threw it onto the white ston
Chapter 373
The massive, jagged bone spine tore through the ceiling of the underground world. It rose into the dark sky like a monument to the end of the world. The terrible roar of the breaking earth shook the giant cavern.RUUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLLE!Huge pieces of gray rock and black metal fell from the high ceiling. They crashed onto the spongy, fleshy floor. Dust filled the cold air.On the clean white stone platform, Jonah sat on his knees. He ignored the falling rocks. He ignored the giant bone spine in the distance. He only looked down at his arms.Lisa was not breathing. Her small, broken body was completely still."No," Jonah whispered. His deep voice was completely empty. "No. No. No."Tears ran down Kevin’s face. Elena covered her eyes and sobbed. Even old man Marcus stood quietly, looking down at the brave mechanic who had died for them.The dark yellow fog swirled around the platform. The corrupted red light of the Dead Zone was gone. The shockwave of glitching energy had left Lisa’s body
Chapter 372
Kevin had picked up Elena’s dropped shotgun. He was firing with his one good arm, holding the heavy gun against his hip. BOOM! BOOM! Kevin was fighting bravely, shooting a rolling ball of teeth that was trying to bite his legs.Jonah gritted his teeth. “No,” Jonah thought fiercely. “I am a man. Not a monster.”Jonah fought against the System's temptation. He refused the easy power. He refused to be a slave to the pain.Jonah pulled his heavy hunting knife from his belt. He swung the thick steel blade down. CHOP! He cut the sparking cable wrapped around his ankle completely in half.The shock stopped.Jonah jumped back up to his feet. He did not glow with a 2000% power multiplier. He was just a giant, tired, bleeding man with a rifle and a knife.And the fight was incredibly hard.Without the massive energy explosions, the unstable creatures were a terrifying enemy. They moved with erratic, unpredictable speed. They did not have weak spots. They did not have brains or hearts to aim f

"It is a womb," Jonah whispered. Jonah looked at the pulsing red veins on the floor."The virus is not dead," Jonah explained. "It is alive. It is a living, thinking entity. When it crashed the System here, it did not just leave an empty hole. It started to rebuild the world. It is taking the metal, the dirt, the dead bodies, and the computer code, and it is melting them all together. It is creating a brand-new ecosystem."Kevin stared at the fleshy walls. "It is a transforming world.""Yes," Jonah nodded. "And it is reacting to us."Jonah looked down at his own body.His new System, the Adaptive Reward Conversion, was a massive source of raw energy. When he had taken the hit from the giant saw blade, he had exploded with incredible power. His glowing iron scars were still radiating heat.A drop of hot, dark red blood fell from Jonah’s torn shirt. It dripped off his stomach.Plop.The drop of blood hit the spongy, fleshy floor.Instantly, the floor reacted.The ground around the drop
Chapter 370
The giant cavern was perfectly quiet. Jonah walked across the smooth, black metal floor. His heavy boots made a loud noise with every step. Clang. Clang. Clang.He held Lisa tightly against his chest with his left arm. Her body was so still. She looked like she was already gone, but every few seconds, she took a very slow, wet breath.Haaaaa...The air filled her crushed lungs. The cavern remained dark.Hssssss...She breathed out. The dirt walls far away flashed with a sick, corrupted red light.Jonah did not look at the walls. He kept his glowing, dark brown eyes focused straight ahead. He was looking at the raised platform in the distance. The Echo Seed was waiting there.Behind him, Kevin and Elena walked slowly.Elena held the small silver lighter. The tiny orange flame danced in the cold wind. It cast long, jumping shadows on the floor. She was shaking. She looked at the broken pieces of the metal monsters Jonah had destroyed. She could not believe what she had just seen.Kevin
