Chapter 19 New upgrades, first major problems arrive!

as Jack tried rolling over to get up one of the chopped off arms of the ferals touched his suit's chest area and the messages were both intriguing and disturbing!

<<WEAPONIZED LIMB DISCOVERED>>

<<BEGINNING INTEGRATION>>

<<CLAWS NOW AVAILABLE>>

Upon seeing that, the screen showed him an example of what was needed to change his hand, only need a fixed amount of nanobots or materials to change the limb but the feeling wasn't pleasant as his hand was being forcefully altered!

The next one was like thousands of fire ants biting into you as the suit attempted another thing to help him get stronger!

<<INTERGRATING TISSUE SAMPLES TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN BODY>>

<<ERROR ERROR ERROR>>

Sadly his body couldn't handle such things as he had no immunity against this virus that was completely different from the previous one!

<<CANCELLING INTEGRATION OF TISSUE SAMPLES DUE TO USER'S CURRENT IMMUNITY CURRENTLY UNABLE TO RESIST BODILY EROSION FROM CONTACT>>

If one could see his flesh they would see the rapid spread of rotting flesh as his eyes turned bloodshot from trying to resist the invading virus, the suit made sure to help at the right moment!

<<COMMENCING PURGE>>

His helmet opened up before he hurled out a good amount of this tar-like solution that stunk beyond normal landfills Making the main characters believe that he was infected!

<<NEW OPTIONS UNLOCKED>>

His suffering wasn't in vain as the result unlocked more abilities to strengthen his flesh as suit already made some changes for him if he ever has to deal with this horrifying virus!

<<NOW CREATING ANTI-BODIES AGAINST X-STRAIN>>

<<RECOMMENDED THAT USER INTEGRATES MORE SAMPLES>>

but his reaction made them confused as he got up while wiping his mouth as his back was facing them.

"*phew* man that was nasty!"

Saeko was preparing to chop his head off but he began stretching with his arms out completely before saying.

"alright where to?"

the people there were skeptical as to whether he was infected or not but his vigorous self seemed to tell otherwise as those that are infected tend to feel groggy, somewhat inarticulate, and with the new infection going around wouldn't be able to move yet this man had none of that!

So for a good while, as they made their way to the shopping center, they kept their distance from him and were ready to kill him in case he suddenly acts up!

But as for Jack, he failed to notice one notification at this moment when he was close to one of the girls.

<<NEW OBJECTIVE DISCOVERED>>

<<PROTECT THE SOUL SHARD HOLDER>>

----Meanwhile at the shores of japan----

The area was covered in thick fogs as it crowded by broken-down ships that looked like it was half-eaten by a large monster and each ship was either painted by the blood of the living or of some green solution.

The amount of blood and that green solution stained the waters giving it a hue of yellowish-red as the smell of the blood from the corpses of the living and dead, the oil and gas from the boats completely polluted the shore!

the traveling waves brought more corpses and debris to the shorelines the calm waves suddenly became erratic as a pair of large amber-colored glowing slit eyes had emerged from the thick fog as is form became visible, it was a humongous zombified snake its size rivaled that of a tanker as thousands of undead acted as passengers on its back!

On its large head was a figure sitting back on a chair made from beasts and humans bones that was embedded into the skull if the large serpent as if enjoying the view and the thick smell of blood and oil, the person didn't look human more like a ghoul from the fallout game series other than the oily hair that is, from the ragged clothes and the junk hanging for all to see this being was obviously a male.

He tapped his foot on the head of the snake as if gesturing it to hurry up since the serpent slithered to the shore even faster than before!

His scratchy voice echoed out shortly after his mode of transport finally reached the shore as he took a 'deep breath'.

"MHM nothing beats the smell of blood and gore~"

the man then clapped his hands together a few times as the zombies on the snake that stood so lifelessly suddenly moded as if pumped up with adrenaline running off of the snake on to the shores before disappearing into the distance!

The culprit of their action smiled widely exposing his yellow yet fang-like teeth before saying something that meant many things!

"How quickly will this country crumble compared to the rest I wonder~? and I wonder when I'll meet the 'champion' of this world~?"

"After this one, how will the united states handle my hordes?"

He approached the large pet that acted meekly towards him before patting it as he whispered something to it before it opened its mouth and the next scene could bring despair to even the bravest of soldiers, there were more 'ghouls' that came out yet they all had something in common each held strangely glowing guns, and each one wore exoskeletons that covered their bodies leaving only their heads exposed by a clear-visors.

"Now my loyal immortals, enjoy this upcoming slaughter to the fullest but remember one thing, the moment you find the champion, notify me! for his/her blood is mine to spill!"

they grunted in a uniform manner bring a smile to their leader's face as he delivered his next words that might be the reason why they were here!

His calm demeanor gradually changed into a bloodthirsty fiend towards the end!

"if you find my queen, Bring her to me...!

As he caught himself, the ghoul cleared his throat before trying to act like a gentleman then sent this armed and armored group on their way.

the sound of a mechanical stampede followed as the ghoul's soldiers rushed out in a more terrifying manner trampling everything in their way!

Despite his attempts to be like a gentleman the gleam of bloodlust and insanity could be seen in the Ghoul's eyes as he pulled out an old coin that many historians would recognize from the Achaemenid Empire of Persia!

"By our emperor's will, we shall Let the world Know that OUR GREAT EMPIRE STILL STANDS STRONG AND THAT I, THE GREAT GOD XERXES, HAVE RETURNED!!"
