Fantasy Simulator - Chapter 289
Chapter 289: Chapter 289 – Carried Over Power
“Is that so…”
Hearing that researcher’s words, the middle-aged man thought for a moment before nodding, “Very well.”
Elsewhere, Liu Xiong looked down at his phone, which had been sent new information.
As such, he thought for a moment before saying, “We have received news that according to the researchers, this might be the result of humans evolving.”
He spoke loudly as he continued, “Just as many creatures have evolved, humans also have the potential to evolve.
“This was the case in the past as well. It was just that in the past, those affected by the mutated creatures became Corpse People and lost their reason.
“However, this boy is similar but different. His evolution has been even more perfect: Not only did he gain terrifying strength, but he also retained his intelligence.
“In a sense, this represents a possibility for all of humanity.”
As Liu Xiong spoke, he felt that it was somewhat of a pity—from his perspective as a researcher, something like this would have been the perfect test subject.
If they could properly research him for a while, they might be able to discover why he had such great power.
It was a pity that the government had locked all passageways to the outside world, and those passageways would not be opened unless there was something of critical importance.
Thus, such a precious research subject could only be left outside.
…….
Thinking about it, he could not help but sigh.
Despite this, he remembered his role and continued to explain.
“Overall, whether or not this boy is still a human is yet to be determined. It is possible that he has already lost his intelligence and memories, and that performance just then may just be a short stimulation. However, all of this requires more observation to determine.”
…
After easily dealing with the Corpse Person, Chen Heng turned and looked ahead.
As he looked out, he could clearly see the scene of the city ahead.
The ruins of structures were still there, but they were covered with dust.
In the surroundings, dense vines covered the streets.
It was a scene of complete desolation.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng’s body paused as large amounts of memories appeared in his mind.
From those memories, he understood the situation in this world, as well as this body’s identity.
“Era of Catastrophe, huh…” he muttered as he thought to himself.
This world had experienced a terrible catastrophe, destroying the previously-prosperous civilization and leaving behind only ruins.
The survivors had hid underground and were living there.
However, during that mass-retreat, some people had been left behind—Chen Heng’s body had been one of such people.
Of course, back when humanity had retreated underground, this body had still been very young. He had been with his parents at a different place and had missed the opportunity to go underground.
After five years, this body’s relatives had all died, and in the end, he too had perished.
What the people underground had thought was true: The body that Chen Heng had taken over had indeed died.
If Chen Heng had not come, this body would have been devoured by that Corpse Person, or he would have become a Corpse Person himself.
However, Chen Heng had indeed come here.
“I seem to have brought over a portion of my power…”
Standing there, Chen Heng examined his body.
This simulation was very much different to the previous ones.
Before, his start was determined by the state of the simulation body, but this time, he had brought some of his main body’s power.
This was the first time this had happened.
This seemed to be because his main body contained something—the Divinities.
Chen Heng could clearly sense the Divinities within his body, as well as the massive power that they contained.
This was the power that the Divinities had stored up over the past few months, and it had all been brought over by Chen Heng.
This was why Chen Heng had not become food for the Corpse Person just then and had instead been able to easily kill it.
In a sense, Chen Heng’s body was just like before and was incredibly weak.
The reason why he had been able to display such strength was because of the power that the Divinities contained.
In other words, if he lost the support of his Divinities, he would immediately go back to being incredibly weak.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng paused and thought to himself seriously.
The two Divinities appeared within his body, but they now seemed much fainter.
From Chen Heng’s senses, he could tell that the power that they contained had greatly decreased and still had about two-thirds remaining.
This meant that the fight just then had used up one-third of their power.
Chen Heng could not help but shake his head.
He had stored up this power over many months in the World of Gods. He had thought that this would be quite a large amount, but now, it seemed that it was far from enough.
He shook his head and slightly raised his hand.
A faint white light flashed, and changes began to appear on his body.
Under the effects of his Divinity, his wounds quickly healed.
