《Behold the Bacterium》Chapter - 6, Apocalypse

Quote:I have two important announcements to make
2. For those who didn't understand the sub phases of a realm,i am explaining here once more. For example in plaudit realm
* 0.1 to 20 % of bacterial recognition - entry phase of plaudit stage
* 20.1 to 40 % - early phase of plaudit stage
* 40.1 to 60 % - mid phase of plaudit stage
* 60.1 to 80 % - late phase of plaudit stage
* 80.1 to 99.99 % - peak phase of plaudit stage
and in advanced realms like the mitogene stage, these numbers remain the same but the process varies (eg) Formation of mitogene in cells instead of bacterial recognition
Fion readied his stance as he stared at the two tailed rat which was a meter tall , and the very next moment , he dashed towards it at very high speed and delivered a kick to the right side of it’s head. The rat has no way of reacting to his speed as Fion’s kick connected with it’s head.Crackling sounds could be heard as the head of the rat burst open and several pieces of the skull came out from the other side of it’s head .
“Dead already … Come on , this doesn’t even count as a warm up … but hehe … ” he felt a little sorrowful for not having a good fight but inwardly , he was very happy with his strength.
“Wait a minute , How the hell does a two tailed rat cultivated to peak phase of plaudit stage … strange … very strange ” Fion pondered , but didn’t dare to stay behind and hurriedly left the place.
Like Fion thought , a two tailed rat will always be an entry level plaudit stage in it’s entire life cycle and it will always be in groups of thousands. If all the rats in a group were at peak phase of plaudit stage , then even Fion will have a hard time fighting against these rats and that’s the reason he immediately left the place
He ran for about 4 hours without stopping and along the way, he encountered some beasts but he avoided all of them. And finally, he saw the borders of the town where he hoped to stay for the next few days. As he reached the town , he saw that there were no guards at the entrance.
After entering the village , he felt a grave atmosphere. He looked around and saw no signs of people.
“That’s strange , i am sure that this is the vinlev town and i even verified with the map … if it is so , then where are all the people … ” he roamed around the streets of town, searching for the people
When he arrived at the place which is the interjection of three streets , he found lumps and lumps of human bodies lying over one another as he immediately felt nauseated

“Holy mother of bacterias , what in the world happened here …. ” Fion closed his mouth as he tried hard to resist vomiting. Fion has never seen such a horrifying thing in his entire life.
“This much genocide will surely attract the attention of Yu Clan , better leave this place … but first let’s check out the town hall treasury and see whether any pellets are there ”
Fion’s main motive for coming to this place was to buy some red autumn pellets. Naturally , it is for advancing to the next realm . One cannot advance to next realm with the help of his bacteria alone , no matter how high talent he has , for example, if one wants to breakthrough to the mitogene stage , one needs several nuclei of vile beasts. For dissolving these nuclei, red autumn pellets or similar kind were required and only after completely dissolving, one can control the bacteria to absorb the essence and successfully form a mitogene in their cells.
When Fion reached the town hall and was about to enter it, he was ambushed by a person of peak plaudit stage. Unfortunately for him, Fion was on full alert after having learnt his lesson the hard way , When the person was about to chop at his neck , Fion grabbed his hand, twisted his body a little and slammed him against the ground.
“It seems there are still people living here , but why did he attacked me … ” Fion found his whole thing creepy. After inspecting the place and found no clues , he proceeded to the first floor of the Town hall where he was suddenly surrounded by a dozen experts
“Hmm .. 11 peak plaudit stage experts and surprisingly a mitogene expert ” Fion mumbled , At that time , a middle aged scar faced man stepped forward
“Are you from the Yu Clan ? Answer honestly or i will be forced to kill you ” he threatened on his very first conversation. Clearly , he can tell that Fion was from Yu Clan because of his robes.
Fion can also guess how he had found out and decided not to tell any lies “My name is Fion and yes , I was a member of Yu Clan , but that’s all in the past , i have broken ties with them ” Fion nonchalantly answered.
That middle aged man was compelled to believe him since his attire looks same as that of clothes , worn by the member of the main branch. If he really is a member of main clan, then he will be protected by guards and yet he came alone even in this situation outside the town. Also being a man of huge experience, he can see the vengeance in fion’s eyes when he told about Yu Clan.
“Let him come in” During this moment , they heard the voice of a man from inside the floor .
All the peak plaudit stage experts retreated into the room. The scar faced man then signalled Fion to follow him . They went together into a room which was very decorative and is completely different from outside of the town hall.

Fion surveyed the room and find several women with very less clothing , served alcohol to the men . His eyes then fell upon a man, who was sitting on a majestic chair.
“Greetings senior , eh ! Can i know who you are and what happened to this place ? ” Fion questioned.
“Oh ! me … i am the chief of the silver eagle group” the boss replied “ … and for your second question , don’t you know the answer yourself ” he doubtfully looked at fion
“Chief , i really don’t know what happened here , i broke ties with the clan and came here just now ” fion replied honestly.
“Hmmmm ” the boss of silver eagle group hesitated for a bit before replying “ Well , Yesterday a huge herd of two tailed rats attacked the town ,Each of them were abnormal and all of them were at least at late plaudit stage with some of them at peak phase of the realm , Not only that , the herd numbered around more than ten thousand and so the town didn’t stand a chance .Finally they left this morning after taking a large amount of deceased humans ”
“i was really lucky to face only a single rat ” Fion was shivering in fear on hearing this and wiped the sweat formed on his fore head.
The boss continued his explanation “ I heard from Artic City that the change in colour of the moon after being hit by green coloured ball like something, caused the bacteria in the bodies of animals to mutate ,so every martial beasts in the world were many times powerful than their previous self .Due to this , travelling through the wilderness has become extremely dangerous ” he took his time to explain all the things he knew about . It was because he saw that Fion was so young and yet he was powerful and also that how fion knocked one of his minions at the entrance. Clearly , he wanted to pull Fion to his side ,more over the fact that he was a member of Yu Clan main family can become handy in some situations .
Fion listened to chief’s explanation with utmost attention “ so that’s why these rouge group dared to do anything as they please … hmm since it’s like this , i have to be cautious when dealing with these guys “ Fion decided in his mind
“Thank you senior for notifying all the details , I have a request to ask of you … Can i buy some red autumn pellets from senior ? “ Fion asked showing a hint of respect
The Chief was very pleased with Fion’s demeanour , so he immediately told what he had in mind “Sure , You can take any amount of red autumn pellets , you don’t even have to pay anything but on the condition that you are joining our silver eagle group … and who knows, may be you can even become the chief of this group after my death ”
Fion raised his eyebrow’s as he thought of the chief’s proposal “Are you kidding me ? want me to join this puny group … ” Fion sneered in his mind but dared not exposed his thought
“Excuse me but i can’t comply with your request , I had my own intentions and can’t stay here for long. Also i was planning to leave as soon as i get the pellets” Fion told indifferently.
The Chief frowned on hearing Fion’s thoughts. He really thought that fion will readily accept his proposal since he had already broken ties with the Yu Clan and also because of the mutation of animals.
“Since you don’t want to join our group , i can’t give you the pellets. And work as a servant for me some 10 years and then you can think about leaving this place ,At that time, i will also give you the pellets you need ” the chief announced his decision.
Fion was obviously pissed off “Who are you to order me around ? and even the pellets doesn’t belong to you , Hand over the pellets and i will not cause trouble ” Fion threatened
“eh ! you are threatening me, haha … you are really funny ” he laughed a bit ,abruptly his face turned serious “ I am now the mayor of this town and i can decide how to spend town treasury , if you have any issues , ask the people of this town ”
Fion twitched since he can see that only few people survived and almost all of them were women and been enslaved. This doesn’t even count as a ballot.
And the chief continued “ But since you threatened me , i have to teach you a lesson ” as he glanced at the plaudit stage warriors.
Within a second , Fion was surrounded by the same 11 peak phase plaudit stage experts . He grimaced as he looked at the chief of the group
“I can easily take out these minions , but that scar faced man and the boss , both are at Mitogene realm … Seems like i can get a good fight and subsequently can fully test the limits of the body , and even if the situation becomes grave , i can use my trump card and escape from this place ” Fion smirked .
Then he went into a frontal stance with the forward leg bent at the knee, and the rear leg straight, while the hips and shoulders remain squarely facing forward towards these experts , before finally saying “Bring it on”
