Walking back to the slums I infected people as I went until I saw a sewer grate at a dead end of a street, closed off by a metal gate. [I wonder if they have a similar rat problem as green leaf city. I could improve the rats maybe try some experimenting.]

Walking over to the gate I don't bother to pick the lock as I just move my cells around the metal beams and reform them on the other side. Once inside I walk into the dark using echolocation to see. walking alone through the sludge I use my empathy to attract any life in the vicinity to my location. When the life forms, mainly consisting of large rats, made it to me I would kill them before they could even register what they were drawn to.

[this is taking to long I should change my approach]. I stood still as I concentrated on sensing everything in a 7 Km radius and bringing it towards me. The result was a tidal wave of angry rats and the occasional stay animal. The angry wall of flesh hurdles towards me as I raise my hand and gently touching the lead rat.

Controlling its body I make it explode in a mass of tentacles that spread out and touched the other large animals. This created a domino effect as each animal touch by a tentacle exploded as I gained control.

With all the animals dead I made their deformed corpses into a ball of condensed bone, making it easier to carry around. Creating the wheels on my feet I speed along the walls, as the ground was covered in sludge, to repeat the process.

Once I had made my rounds around the smaller sewer I headed deeper into the larger tunnels after unlocking a grate. [It appears both green leaf and Arch city have the same sewer layout and they both seem to keep around the mutant rats as a training exercise].

Attracting the larger rats in the same way I overpower them with speed, strength, and control over their bodies. Killing the larger mutated rats I add their corpses to the bone ball as I continue going through the sewers. After an hour I decide to head back up to the surface so I can see the effects of the ‘zero virus’.

Leaving the sewers I am now on the surface heading back to the slums. [Not as many people on the streets today, should not be long before the fun really starts and I can kill all the slavers.] The people I do see I infect with the virus before I make it back to the slums.

[Well that's not something you see every day.] Walking through the slums I did not see a single person until I was greeted by the sight of a giant orgy. The mass of human bodies pressing against each other in pleasure was interrupted by me systematically killing and absorbing them into the bone ball.

[Innocents]I hesitate a little. [But this gives them a painless death as opposed to what is to come. The other innocents who become infected, I should be able to cure them all. But the people from the slums would have just been slaughtered.]

It seemed like most of the slum's population was gathered here but not one of them cared as I killed their partner as they were too intoxicated in lust. [This is going to take for ages if I keep doing it like this.] squatting down I place my hand onto a skinny bald man who was...fucking a dog [Seriously dude? There are like thousands of people here and you go for the dog?]

Placing my hand on his back I send a pulse of control through his body allowing my control to spread to those he is touching and the people touching them and so on. They were all weak compared to me so my control was not obstructed as I absorbed the mass of people into the bone ball.

Standing alone in the now empty streets I decided that it is now time to begin experimenting. The ball has thousands of corpses worth of body matter in it and weighed several tons. This may seem like a lot but the bodies were weak and unrefined and while I can solve that problem I can't give the body mass any mystical energy (Magic, aura or a power. Mystical energy is just easier to say.) First I absorb half of the body mass into myself, refining and condensing it to my body's standard while incorporating it into my biological structure, improving it.

With the first step done I split the ball into thirds while taking out six beast cores [It’s time to make some babies.] Monster crystals would not work for what I had in mind as the creatures would not be born of magic.

Taking the first ball I make a horse-sized dog with long hair and three rat tails focusing its build on speed. I give the large dog the ability to control its hair and to produce sonic scream similar to the mutant rats. Connecting both strands of nerves and ligaments required I place one beast core. Next, I give it the organs and cells to produce electricity while being resistant to electrical voltage. Moving on to the three 4m long rat tail I place two hooks and a blade made from keratin. Lastly, I connected the electrical cells and tail to put the second beast core into the currently dead creature.

Moving onto the second bone ball I get to work. Forming a vaguely humanoid body with a height of three meters and a build meant for strength. I give the creature a meter long snake-like neck with the head of a king cobra making it 4m overall. Making the arms 2m long with 50cm long claws I copy my own design giving it the ability to secrete acid into its claws. Forming a two-chamber scorpion tail on its back I fill it with my modified venoms. Lastly, I cover the body in bone plating like the guard's armor. I place a beast core in its spine and stomach respectively.

Now onto the last ball, I make a mass of tentacles around a sphere that was practically just a mouth and stomach with a small brain. I ended the tentacles is various keratin constitutions. Hooks, ax heads, knife blades, and morning stars. With no real focus, I just place the last two beast cores into its head while adding echolocation.

Bring all three of my ‘children’ to life I keep them in a deep sleep to inspect their bodies. All three and incredibly unstable and will most likely explode in an hour. [Ha, that's not what I was aiming for.] Using my control I fix the body's as much as I can. In the end, I gained an extra two days but ultimately the beast cores are from different magically evolved beats which are only meant to have one beast core at a time. [I will just have to hope they can evolve somehow in the next two days. But I do also want to see one explode though. It's a win, win either way.]

Finished with my creations I use my empathy to find the largest body of non-infected sentients in the area and head towards them. Their emotions lead me to a two-story house, which is odd as it is the only non-single story hut I have seen in the slums.

The house and the huts surrounding it are full of people who are feeling fear, anger, and annoyance, while some are showing the first symptoms of my virus.

I listen in on the house believing the people in charge to be there which will give me context to the situation.

“I am telling you, Boss, these people were crazy, just fucking on the street and then I saw these people just smashing some guys head like it was nothing.”

I silently jump onto the roof of the house as I begin to make a hole that went into the room that they were talking in.

“I say we should just join in. We would just get to have an orgy for free, and while everyone is distracted we can rob them all blind.” says one of the infected.

I change into my regular albino form as I send a tentacle into the room.

“Shut up you idiot, something is clearly not right. People acting crazy, I saw my nephew kill his sister this morning before he tried to kill me!” says the first guy.

“Shut up both of you!” Says who I assume to be the boss.

With my tentacle inside the room, I teleport inside, alarming the inhabitants. The Boss who was sat in the only cair in the room stood up with a sword in his hand as the infected guy drew a knife. The first guy just raised his hands in surrender. They both look at him.

“What, the guy just teleported without us even knowing he was here.”

Nodding at the ‘first guy’ I grab the infected guy's neck and snap it.

“Don't bother” I say while sending a pulse of my aura and fear into the Boss and ‘first guy’ who both were about to attack. “He was infected, and at the moment, death is the only cure I have found.”

Both men fall to their knees as sweat drips down their faces.

“So, you're the Boss? Are you the local gang leader? Don't worry I mean you no harm whatever your answer, I just want information.”

“Ye...yes I am the gang leader as you put it. I don't mind me asking, who are you? What did you mean by infected?” He stammers with a pleading yet hopeful look.

“Excellent. The crazed people you were talking about are infected with something. I don't yet know what but my source says someone in the slave market does. That's why I am here [It's not but I may as well go with it] I need you to tell me how to find the slavers. Oh and the names Jacob Willbreaker.”

He gives a dry laugh “Willbreaker sounds about right. I can show you where we do some of our...deals with the slavers but that's all I can do.”

I give a more intense pule this time. With a sadistic smile, I place my hand on ‘First guy's forehead and release all his hormones at once. This causes his skin to bulge as blood leaks from his eyes and ears before I make him explode. His last moments were agony as he screamed and cried out in pain.

“Tut Tut Mr boss ‘all you can do?’ really? Take me to them” I say as I reform ‘First guy’ and bring him back to the living. “I don't recommend lying to me a second time.”

‘First guy’ completely breaks down without my input as he curls up into a ball as he cries and screams with piss and shit leaving his body like rivers.

Downstairs I hear people yelling as they run up the stairs to investigate.” Shade my dear, could you?” She nods as she hopes of my shoulder, obliterates the door with some dark energy and descends the stairs. Downstairs erupts into chaos as screams can be heard.

Meanwhile ‘boss’ is shaking as tears run down his face. “So are you going to tell me about the slavers, or am I going to need to touch your special place next?” I move one of my arachnid limbs so that it is 3mm away from his eye.

“Ok, ok please don't, please...I...I will tell you where they sell their slaves. I know it is close to their base. People meet there before the slaves are brought out to be sold. It's in the underground tunnels from the old city…”

“Just show me, it will be easier. Stand up let's go.”

“But...Ahhhhh!!!” I send intense pain through his body.

“But what?”

“N...nothing...I will take you there. Pease…”

“Excellent shall we go? Don't dilly dally I have no sympathy for thugs who helps slavers.”
