Chapter 140

The Devil hurriedly rushed into Adam's lab. "Master, it's not good …"

Adam did not even turn his head as he pasted the Devil to the wall with a Psychokinetic. "Shut up. Whatever it is, wait until I'm done with the experiment."

Rather than calling the third-generation virus an evolved version of the previous one, it was more accurate to say that Adam had added a self-destruct sequence to it.

The nature of the virus had already determined the upper limit of the infected body, which was at best comparable to an ordinary mage apprentice. This upper limit would not be broken through by the number of infected bodies that one body devoured, which was why when Adam released the control of the virus, they would inevitably head towards self-destruction as they devoured each other more intensely.

That was what the Devil saw.

Adam injected the third-generation stock solution into ten concentrated virus flesh at the same time before releasing the restraints on the virus. The viruses seemed to have developed an instinct at that moment, and after a few minutes of mutual probing, they began to devour each other. Adam threw a small daemon into the petri dish, and the viruses immediately gave up on attacking each other and worked together to tear the daemon apart before continuing.

"Not bad. The order's priority is temporarily higher than self-destruct."

After devouring the other viruses, the victor became stronger and stronger, and the aura of the last surviving body completely reached the level of an Anti-Mage apprentice. But that was already the limit, and when it found that there were no other bodies around it to devour, the virus genes began to die, and the infected body shrank inwards as large chunks of flesh turned grayish white, and was completely devoid of vitality after ten minutes.

After recording all the experimental steps, Adam turned around with the finished product of the third-generation virus and retracted the Psychokinetic that imprisoned the Devil. Before he could speak, he heard the Devil's terrified voice. "Master, this is the third-generation virus? My Garfields, you promised me that you wouldn't destroy it! "

Adam walked straight out of the lab and came to Garfields' side, and inserted the syringe into the Devil's body as its face was filled with grief, and without hesitation, he explained. "The third-generation virus is only effective on the child bodies, and the mother body will not be affected by the self-destruct tendency. But when all of the child bodies are destroyed, the mother body will also lose the ability to infect, and the virus genes will become normal benign genes."

The Devil did not understand, but it could tell that Garfields would be fine, and was instantly relieved as it pounced on Garfields and excitedly muttered.

"You can spread the third-generation virus after completing the few tasks I told you before. Also, what did you want to talk to me about? " Adam asked as he looked through the screen at the few small hills of metallic minerals on the ground.

"I just …" The Devil was still immersed in the joy of regaining what it had lost, and was momentarily stunned when it heard Adam's question. After a while, it replied. "Oh right, Master, something bad has happened. Those trial apprentices seem to have discovered our location."

Adam's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had never underestimated the intelligence of those apprentices, and had a premonition that his identity as the mastermind behind the scenes would be exposed one day, he could not help but hesitate at the last moment.

It was not that he was afraid of them, but he did not know how to deal with them.

Adam looked at the two magic circles that were about to take shape, and thought to himself. Those who came to participate in the trial were the true elites of The Fifth Element Holy Tower in the past hundred years. If he killed them all, would it cause a disaster?

"How long will it take for them to get here?"

The Devil thought for a moment and said. "They are too strong. Even if I keep luring Anti-Mage to the road to stop them, and with the harassment of the infected, we can only delay them for three days at most."

In the spatial folds.

"This is the analysis report of the apprentice Adam's personality and behavior." The female mage put a document on the table, and then continued. "According to his past behavior, if the trial apprentices angered him, then the railgun would move away from Anti-Mage's head and shoot at the trial apprentices instead. According to the calculations in the past few days, the full power of that magic circle is enough to destroy all the apprentices who have not been promoted. "

"Don't worry, Clayton. No matter what he does, as long as it's within the rules, we have no right to stop him. Every tower has already signed a contract before sending their apprentices, so no one will cause trouble for us because of this matter. Besides, didn't we already report this to Priscilla Hyperdimensional? "

"That's true, but the contract did not say that all the apprentices will die from killing each other. Moreover, if only one person from The Fifth Element Holy Tower passes this time, it won't look good on us …"

"Don't worry, it won't be just one person. Most of the little fellows in the War Alliance already have enough points. This kind of large-scale destructive magic won't kill them," another mage said casually.

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in the command center. Everyone bowed respectfully, and Priscilla Hyperdimensional's projection appeared in front of everyone.

"Mission Final Battle: Go to the Holy Fall Basin to eliminate the remaining Anti-Mage. Points will be doubled for the duration of the mission." Priscilla Hyperdimensional directly ordered, announcing the first and last mission of this war trial.

Clayton breathed a sigh of relief. At least this way, most of the apprentices who lacked merit points would give up on facing Adam and that magic that was far beyond the apprentice level.

Priscilla Hyperdimensional smiled. "Don't worry about anything else. No one dares to violate the contract of the Holy Tower. Don't forget the purpose of the trial. What we need is quality, elite, not quantity."

"As you wish," everyone said in unison.

The projection of the Hyperdimensional gradually faded, and she finally said, "After the trial is over, bring Adam to the Holy Tower to see me."

The devil felt very guilty. Most of the trouble this time was caused by its own initiative. If its master was really attacked because of this, it would only end up in an even more miserable state. Thus, the execution of the order increased again. The collection of resources and the construction of the magic array were carried out at a rapid pace.

But today, it suddenly saw a turning point.

"Master! Master! They've scattered. Caw! Caw! Seems like an internal conflict. Only five of them are flying towards us. "

At this time, Adam was looking at the merit bracelet in a daze. "The final battle, the Holy Fall Basin? An early final battle? Seems like this is the protection of the Holy Tower's rules for the apprentices. But I don't know if it's to protect me or them. "

The Devil looked at the silent Adam and said again, "Master?"

"Stop collecting resources. The third-generation virus has begun to spread. The central smelting circle has been activated. This trial is about to end. "
