Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 400: Shocking Revelations

Are these? Miles looked at the vials in bewilderment.

Yes, Mid and Body Serums of F-Series. Coin answered as he floated near the table. A set of Low-Tier, two sets of Mid-tier, two sets of High-tier, and three sets of Peak-Tier.

It is not surprising. In the mysterious room where I found the Maroon Armor Orb, there was information about these serums. At the time, I thought it was a genius scientist of the Ancient Races of Portal World who had created those, but it turned out it was that person Dawn. I wonder which race he belongs to. Miles thought out loud.

Yeah. I wonder what the connection is between us. Coin said.

Do you reckon he created you? Miles asked.

Probably not. It was Uncle Adam who created me. At the time, although, surprised, he was mostly excited as well. When Mother AI asked how a foreign coding language could appear in one of her kids, he said it might be about the core of the monster or other elements in play. But they could never find out the reason. Later, they sent me to Mother, and you found me. Coin explained.

I see. It doesnt make sense though. Miles shook his head. He couldnt wrap his head around it, as there werent enough clues. So he gave up on thinking further. What did you find in computers?

Oh, so many things. Coin excitedly said as he started to talk in his mind. The telepathic conversation took less time as it was inside his brain.

I found out the cause of the Walking Dead.

Cause? Miles frowned, Is it not a virus?

It is. Coin said as he showed a document.

One by one, they fall. I cannot find a solution to this invasion. I run millions of simulations, and in each, we fail. This world will perish, and everyone inside will die with it. Even I may die in this apocalypse.

Useless six races arent half as powerful as their ancestor. I wonder how they managed to devolve from that race. They were capable of surviving in the worst conditions and had extreme ability to adapt. But six races are weak. As if their ancestors genes split into six, and they took only a wisp of their powers.

I only have one other choice. Since they are useless in life, I will make sure they have some uses in death. I created a virus, that can resurrect death while researching immortality. Sadly it is fake. It raises the body back to life, but the mind corrodes. A new being is born in the former shell, and it is not cognizant. Still, they have no fear or desire. They only have one feeling and that is hunger. I will unleash the virus on the world when they are all dead. It will buy me some time.

So much information! Miles gasped in shock. Ancestor of six races? What are they, and how capable they were at their prime? Is this Dawn from that era perhaps? Or is he just lucky enough to find out about them? Why is he talking as if he wasnt part of the six races?

And the virus! It is manmade. There were so many theories on Earth, but no one thought a person could create such a thing. It was always thought that the walking dead are another weapon monsters were using to corner the races of those invaded worlds. But on Earth, Walking Dead was also attacking monsters, thus there were many rejecting that theory. Now it seems, they were right. The virus was created in that sense.

I have guided the six to create Awakening Serums, by giving them different key components. What a surprise, they all really created something different than I predicted. Their ancestors could awaken through energy, and never had serums. That is why there were many who couldnt awaken, as energy was too volatile. But with these serums, I managed to increase the number of powerhouses. Now, they have a chance to fight back.

Although they dont share with each other, that is good too. Now each race has a serum of its own, and their powers belong to one branch of ancient genes. And I have all seven. That will be my secret weapon when we escape this world. I dont think we can take this world back, as we were too unprepared. Although I hinted at AIs to create countermeasures, it also backfired. Now, beyond C-Circle is closed to us as well. What I had in mind was to create a barrier for monsters only, but Ultimate is temperamental. The more rules are added, the stronger it becomes. Thus, a solid wall that blocks all beings is stronger than an imaginary barrier that can only alienate monsters. Although it backfired, it was good too. Now, I have a longer time to find an exit. Like the one, I discovered all those years ago. I wonder if my subjects are still alive?

This again? Miles muttered. In the mysterious room, he found some evidence about awakening serums. Before that, he always thought it was Mother AIs invention. But in that room, he learned that the creator was someone else. Later, in the academy, he learned that all six races had different awakening serums that had a bigger percentage of awakening in one branch of the ancient genes. But this Dawn person says 7 branches. Wasnt there 6?

Superhuman Powers of Athena Race. Beastly Powers of Shaman Race. Spiritual Powers of Spiratas. Weapon Superpowers of Iron Race. Demonic Powers of Demon Race and Elemental Powers of Lares. Coin listed them. Six.

What the seventh might be? Miles asked in surprise.

I dont know, but probably something holy. Coin gave his opinion.

Holy? Miles asked. How so?

Well, Light elemental power can be considered holy, but rarely, there are some people who awaken holy powers. Before the Chanters went nuts and try to control the population through crazy ideas, a person who had awakened a holy superpower tried to gather everyone under his banner to battle against monsters by opening a portal outside of the walls of Unity. His superpower was Holy Angel. He could summon angels from thin air, and by making them preach, he almost managed to overthrow the control of the Army that Mercer and others worked so hard to achieve. Coin said as he showed some videos.

Miles looked at the man on the virtual screen in shock. It had brown hair and a fair face. His blue eyes look merciful. There were three angels around him and he could float in the air. The angels around him were preaching to the people who were on their knees. Some were even crying. Miles always thought that the ideology of chanters was twisted. They were playing with peoples hopes, by making false miracles. Like, at the time, almost all humanity had superpowers, but this person, just because had a power that resembled angels of old lore, tried to open a high-tier portal just outside of the walls. If he could do so, it would be extremely dangerous for humanity.

Angelic powers, huh? Miles muttered.

Have you checked the lock?

Yeah, it is not easy to open. It requires a certain combination, and from the looks of it, if we enter the wrong combination, the whole base will come down. Killing John is not a big deal, but if we cant get out in time, we will die too. Coin said.

Nothing to do then, I will just kill him, Miles said, as he walked towards the glass container. John, can you tell me what the cube does?

You wish, Lares! You can kill me right here, right now. I will not allow you to tarnish our holy artifact. No more, not after Dawn!

And here I was thinking, Shaman Race was good. Miles shrugged.

What now? Coin asked.

I will use serums to increase my strength before leaving. Need to find Val, but I may need more power. After all, Alex said Val was way stronger than him, and I am not much stronger than Alex. As he said so, Miles walked to the table and took the high-tier Mind Serum. He already used six of each serum, and this was his seventh.
