Chapter 008: The Fate of the Poisoners

In Hell, high-ranking demons were immensely powerful not only because of their formidable magic and mastery of sorcery, but also because every high-ranking demon possessed a powerful innate talent.

For instance, Caroline's magic carried a corrupting force; anything it touched, whether living or inanimate, would decay in an instant.

Even without using magic, Caroline could easily slaughter hundreds of mid-ranking demons and thousands of low-ranking demons with her corrupting magic alone.

The more powerful she became, the more terrifying her corrupting magic grew, until eventually even planets could decay.

When Clark saw the gray magic surging toward him, his heart pounded, and he instinctively dodged the force, raising his vigilance to a high level.

"Enough!"

Wang Bo snorted coldly, and a burst of powerful solar true qi erupted from him, setting everything ablaze wherever it passed. The corrupting magic was instantly burned to ashes by Wang Bo's solar true qi.

Caroline shuddered and quickly knelt before Wang Bo. "Please forgive me, master."

Wang Bo did not punish Caroline, since she had acted out of anger on his behalf. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't act on your own next time."

"Thank you, master." Caroline nodded fearfully, stood up, and stepped aside.

Wang Bo met Clark's gaze directly, and Clark returned the look without flinching.

"No," Wang Bo shook his head. "I can travel between worlds, Clark, and there are countless parallel worlds. So I can always find a suitable one."

"For example, a world where humanity has not yet emerged, or a world without humans. I have enough patience, Clark. I have no need to create a virus to exterminate humanity and take over this world."

"Moreover, if I were truly behind this, why would I have saved over a hundred million people? Wouldn't it be better to let them all die, Clark?"

"You are a man of intelligence. Can't you see this?"

"Clark, I am different from Zod. Don't judge me by the same standards."

Clark was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."

"Your suspicion is only natural. I won't blame you for it, Clark," Wang Bo said. "After all, you are also our kin."

The reason Wang Bo treated Clark this way was that he wanted to win Clark over.

After all, this was the real Superman.

The Man of Power, the Son of Tomorrow, the God of the Earth!!!

He was the first naturally born Kryptonian in Krypton's long history, possessing talents that no other Kryptonian had. If he soaked in the sun for tens of thousands of years, he could become a monster like the Golden Superman.

Having such a being as a subordinate would be an impressive feat.

If he were willing to join Wang Bo's ranks, he would become Wang Bo's top fighter, surpassing even Faora.

Naturally, Wang Bo had to show goodwill.

"Now, do you have any other questions, Clark?" Wang Bo asked. Answering questions was what Wang Bo did best; as an honest man, he generally did not lie.

Clark shook his head. "The Codex is inside my body. Can you extract it?"

Wang Bo turned to look at Radlow; he was the one who would extract the Codex.

Meeting Wang Bo's gaze, Radlow said excitedly, "Of course. I swear, extracting the Codex will not harm you in the slightest."

Clark said, "Then let's do it."

Once Clark agreed, Radlow almost eagerly performed a minor surgery on Clark.

Extracting the Codex from Clark's body.

The Codex had been implanted into Clark's cells by his father right after his birth, and now it was extracted in less than ten minutes.

For Kryptonian technology, this was indeed a minor procedure.

After the Codex was removed, Clark spent a few minutes in the sun to confirm that his body had not been harmed, then let out a sigh of relief.

After giving up the Codex, Clark did not return to the DC world but instead made a request to Wang Bo.

"What? You want to go to the Resident Evil world?" Wang Bo was quite surprised.

Clark nodded. "I want to help."

As expected of Superman, truly warm-hearted. Upon hearing that the Resident Evil world was in trouble, he immediately wanted to assist.

This was a true saint.

"Alright." Wang Bo did not refuse and instead called for Caroline.

"Master."

Wang Bo said, "Take Clark to the Resident Evil world and hand him over to Ada Wong."

Caroline nodded.

Wang Bo turned to Clark and said, "Ada Wong is my subordinate and also a traveler. She is currently leading fifty thousand demons to save humanity. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Ada Wong."

Clark nodded. "Alright."

"Also, remember to disinfect when you come back. The virus in the Resident Evil world spreads through the air. You wouldn't want to return to your own world and trigger a生化 crisis there, would you?"

Clark's heart tightened, and he nodded in agreement.

This was not something to take lightly.

…

The day after Clark left, Malthus returned.

He did not come back alone; he brought with him a large group of humans, several hundred in number.

"Master, the task you assigned me is done. These are the humans who spread the virus across the world and caused its collapse."

Malthus felt like giving them a trophy.

Thanks to these people, he had been able to absorb a vast number of souls, growing stronger and securing a leading position. Among his master's demons, aside from Caroline, no other demon could rival him.

Even Afra, who had once been ahead, was now left behind by him.

Not to mention the newly promoted demons. Frankly, Malthus could take on ten of them without issue.

For this reason, he was very grateful to these humans. But unfortunately, they had offended his master, and no one could save them.

Wang Bo looked at the humans Malthus had brought back with disgust and said to Malthus, "Inform all surviving humans of these people's existence. Let humanity decide their fate."

Malthus nodded respectfully. "Yes, my master."

As for those humans who had already collapsed in fear, he cared nothing for them. To him, his master's orders were absolute; everything else was unimportant.

A day later, the identities of the poisoners were revealed, and the survivors of this world erupted in fury.
