Chapter 51 Natural Disease
At the other end of the portal, Bai Zhe stood quietly, gazing at the battlefield spreading in the distance. Although the Rotten Abyss Curse was quickly cleared under the suppression of the Silver Moon Guardian's "deletion" power, there was no panic in his eyes, but rather a calm and profound insight.
He knew in his heart that this dramatic turn of events was merely one link in a game he had already meticulously planned. Even though the momentum of the Rotten Abyss Curse was suppressed, Bai Zhe remained unmoved by the current situation. Because everything was within his expectations, and even proceeded more smoothly than anticipated.
"The Rotten Abyss Curse, seemingly a simple material existence on the surface, is far more than that in essence." A meaningful smile flashed in Bai Zhe's lowered eyes, his voice deep and magnetic, "Although these monsters, which seem to have crawled out of the abyss, appear so terrifying, and their rampage has almost destroyed everything, what lies behind them is an even more terrifying power—the Curse."
"The Heavenly Disease, as its name suggests, the word 'Heaven' represents the information dimension, and it carries a certain indescribable high-dimensional aura." Bai Zhe tilted his head slightly, as if recalling the source of this power, "It does not simply rely on the corruption and collapse of matter, but has penetrated into a higher level."
The power of the Heavenly Disease extends far beyond corruption; its life is no longer confined to the material world, but rather, through the channels of the information dimension, it has acquired near-immortality. Each monster's existence serves as a bridge between information and matter. Its life information has long transcended physical boundaries, subtly infiltrating the enemy's body from the information dimension, re-editing and rearranging the enemy's life structure, thereby resurrecting it in the material world. Corruption and rebirth alternate endlessly, in a seemingly inexhaustible cycle.
"Even those high-ranking Silvermoon Guardians, with their powerful 'deletion' ability, destroyed the corrupted flesh, but still couldn't touch the true essence of the Heavenly Disease." Bai Zhe chuckled, his deep voice carrying a hint of disdain. "What they call 'reality' is merely the material world within their perception. As for the information dimension, it's like an invisible void to them, completely absent from their vision and understanding."
Bai Zhe's gaze never left the battlefield. He knew that even if the Silver Moon Guardians exerted all their strength, they could only eliminate the corrupting creatures on the material level, but could not reach the source of the disease hidden in the information dimension. He slightly curled his lips, seemingly secretly appreciating the Silver Moon Guardians' futile efforts.
Just then, his gaze suddenly fixed on an ordinary soldier. The soldier was pale, his legs swayed precariously, and his eyes had lost their light. Bai Zhe could clearly sense that the Heavenly Disease virus was spreading silently, and the soldier's body was rapidly mutating and decaying almost instantaneously. Bai Zhe's lips curled up slightly, as if he were watching a meticulously choreographed performance.
The Heavenly Disease began to spread, and at this moment, Bai Zhe discovered a crucial detail: the virus of the Rotten Abyss Heavenly Disease Curse could only infect ordinary soldiers and had no effect on high-ranking Silver Moon Guardians.
"I see." Bai Zhe said thoughtfully, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "It is the Reality Distortion power possessed by the Silver Moon Guardians that creates an invisible protective shield. Because they cannot perceive the information dimension, they are also immune to the Heavenly Disease."
He paused, a hint of smugness on his lips, "The reality in which the high-ranking Silvermoon Guardians exist is shaped by their own reality-distorting power. The reality in which they exist is fundamentally distorted; for them, that information dimension simply does not exist. Therefore, the Heavenly Disease is 'unreal' to them, untouchable, and cannot harm them."
However, ordinary soldiers, lacking the protection of the Reality Distortion Force, quickly became the most direct carriers of the Rotting Abyss Curse. As the disease spread, the infected soldiers were like ghosts trapped in the abyss, their bodies undergoing rapid and drastic changes. Their skin rotted, flesh sloughed off, and even their bones began to dissolve. Their bodies rapidly merged with the corpses of other soldiers around them, forming new Rotting Abyss Curses that quickly expanded and spread throughout the entire battlefield.
"It seems that 'deletion' is not a panacea." Bai Zhe murmured softly, his tone tinged with a cold laugh and smugness. "The limitations of the Silvermoon Guardians are obvious. The power they rely on is ultimately finite and cannot reach the true core."
"Or rather, the power of the Reality Distortion ability allows the Silvermoon Guardians to protect themselves from attacks from external dimensions, but the limitations of this power also make them vulnerable when exploring other dimensions and understanding other levels of knowledge, thus limiting their potential for development."
He slightly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the expanding, corrupt battlefield, his mind already calculating the next steps. "From now on, the focus of the war should be on the information dimension," he murmured to himself, his voice filled with a sense of impending victory.
As more soldiers contracted the disease, Bai Zhe's plan became increasingly clear
