Chapter 487: The Bite

The Supervirus.

That is what Diana called the virus that created the supers of Earth. Riley did not really bother asking her for more information, and Diana didn't seem to have any more information to give anyway.

The origin and cause of the virus are unknown, it was impossible to trace it as Diana arrived on Earth too late—and whatever caused the virus to sprout probably dated back to the dawn of the homo sapiens. She had been on Earth for a thousand years, and she seemed to have only scratched the surface of the planet's mystery.

The infection rate is extremely low, and the only reason it spread the way it did was that people were unaware that it was even a virus in the first place. And even if they did, they wouldn't be able to stop it.

One thing was for sure, though—the virus is airborne.

"...Why didn't I know about this?"

"Your parents are inferior, Miss Hera."

"...Excuse me?"

"A virus… that grants special abilities?"
