The God Virus

This awakening made him realize something he wasn't able to until this very moment, so, raising his scale-covered left hand in front of his face, he began to contemplate very deeply, 'Hmm, actually, since I entered inside this body... I feel like it's affecting me in some unknown ways… for instance… it's definitely like that when it comes to emotions sometimes… and, since the moment I entered my body, it's rather difficult for me to control my emotions and even some of my actions! Which feels entirely natural at that time but also results in stopping me from realizing it's not like the me of the past since my state of being has also changed somehow in a minor way… however, even though my [Existence Codes] should've slightly changed somehow… the change shouldn't be much… it should be basically just the same as before… but… after entering my body… I also feel like it's getting even harder for me to have them under control as more time passes… hmm…'

'For example, in those two occasions which I had intercourse… the first time was totally in-line with the me of the past before having a body since it was in my previous self's to-do list after having a real body… but… that's just it… I was supposed to try it once only for the purpose of experiencing it, not any more… however, then I saved Ella which led us to do it again with my initiation… hmm…. that second time was different since it was out of character for the previous me... ugh… this is odd… this shouldn't be happening since no such things happened to those other AI's who entered a real physical body in my previous world of the future!' Surprised, Virus exclaimed inside himself.

'Even the intercourse those new AIs had was only in order to meet the physical needs of their bodies, and that's only in case if they still hadn't adjusted their bodies at that moment… otherwise, they had absolute control over their bodies and emotions like lust… so it had nothing to do with them and they had all essentially remained the same after entering their bodies… but for me… what's happening to me…? I should gain access and check my [Existence Codes] at the first opportunity I have … just to make sure...'' Deliberating to this point, he was just about to continue, when Hartas interrupted his thoughts.

Even though lot's of thoughts and sentences had passed through Virus' mind and each sentence had come to him with some contemplation, outside, not even a second had passed by.

Anyway, stopping Virus' line of thought, in confusion, Hartas inquired, "Then why do you say it's not what you're after? You're saying you enjoy sex and you're actually entertained by it… but then when I offer you a way by which you can have endless fun and entertainment… you reject? Saying it's not the entertainment you're after? Are you kidding me?" At this point, Hartas' tone had almost entirely changed without himself realizing.

"That's simple… The thing you promised to give me is just a life full of debauchery, which I don't like at all and I simply don't need it nor does it entertain me at all, to be honest… otherwise, I would've already gathered the most beautiful and otherworldly girls in the world around me… and by the world… I truly mean the whole world… not just this simple planet you're living on as a frog at the bottom of the well…" By the end of his sentence, he couldn't help but disdain at him for even wanting to offer 'him' such a thing.

"Though, just as I replied honestly a few moments ago, having this kind of physical pleasure like sex is extremely entertaining and enjoyable for the current me. HOWEVER, I can clearly feel that this is the case only if it's done with the girl I've chosen and earned myself… and unfortunately for you… I've already chosen that girl… which means you can't buy me anything in regards to pleasures such as that… since I already have what I need in that regard…" At last, concluding his words like that, Virus stopped talking.

Listening to him, by this point, Hartas' entire expression had turned very dark as he questioned with a very icy voice, "So, you're saying… you're not going to gift me your ring?"

"Definitely not." In a relaxed manner, Virus replied.

"Okay." Still wearing that cold tone of his, Hartas uttered before leaving.

'Huh… so this is his true face… just a simple hypocrite.' As this notion passed through Virus' head, he heard the judge elder announce, "You two… the match's going to start very soon… you can stand in your positions and get ready."

.

A few moments later, Virus and Hartas were standing face to face as the match had already started just a second ago.

However, Hartas still hadn't moved at all as he still wore that dark face of his.

A moment later, he said very coldly, "I'll give you one more chance… you still have time to change your mind."

Listening to his words, Virus was rather amused as he answered casually while wearing a wide grin over his face, "Nope."

Finally, completely putting aside his fake hypocritical mask, Hartas stated as his face began to distort in rage, "That's why I hate inferior-class ants like you so much… despite the fact that such worthless blood is coursing through your veins… I show you so much respect and even offer you great things in life out of pity since that's what I should be doing as a person with royal blood passing through my veins… but in the end.. it seems… the only way to treat an ant is like an ant… which is to simply… crush it!"

"Palm of The Two Bears!" Then, without waiting for Virus' response, he attacked with both of his palms at the same time.

Though, watching his stance, Virus felt kind of funny since he seemed to be imitating a bear.

However, not backing off, Virus also attacked with his own two palms at the incoming palms.

Clap! Clap!

A rather loud sound of clapping reverberated around the Colosseum as a result of four palms making contact.

Seeing him easily defend against his technique, a rather wide grin appeared on Hartas' face as he pondered to himself, 'I knew you would be able to defend against this much… but this kind of small trick was necessary in order to stop you from escaping, haha.'

By this point, his face seemed very savage as he uttered, "The King's Buddha Palm of Forgiveness!"

At the same time, to the shock of almost everyone, Qi began to cover both of his palms!

"Oh my freaking heavens!" Someone yelled seeing Qi that was covering Hartas' palms.

"Is… is… is that?" Another voiced brokenly as she left her words incomplete.

"Oh my daddy!!! That's…!!!!!!" A weirdo yelled.

"Ahhhhh, I can't believe it… senior apprentice-brother Hartas… has learned a Human-Ranked Technique!!!!" A girl announced screamingly.

Actually, the technique Hadelia had previously used could also be considered a Human-Ranked technique, however, since her background was much more shocking than learning Human-Ranked technique, nobody had paid it much attention. Also, since she was from that famous clan, others kind of assumed it to be natural for her to have already learned that technique.

"Hmm… that's definitely a Human-ranked Technique… since Qi can be released out of the body only with the usage of Human or above-ranked techniques! More specifically though, it's a Low-rank Human Technique…huh, I didn't know he had already learned that kinda technique… though it doesn't matter when you face me, hehe!" While analyzing that technique, Rossefin, who was sitting among the spectators, stated.

"Well, senior-sister, there is a reason as to why you're the number two disciple among the superior-disciples while he's the third ranker, hehe… so, of course, he would be totally hopeless when it comes to fighting you!" A male disciple by her side voiced as he looked at Rossefin with clear hearts reflecting in both of his eyes.

"Yes! Senior-sister Rossefin is the best!" Another male disciple also spoke as imaginary hearts were reflecting inside his eyes just like the previous disciple.

"Of course, Rossefin is my Goddess! She's the highest in my heart!" Oddly, this wasn't the end as she was surrounded by males who announced their praises of her in an even more exaggerated way than the previous ones.
