The God Virus

Chapter 477 – Where Is He?

“Where is he?” Following afterward, shockingly, the titanic ant moved its mandibles and talked in human language to no one in particular, “Find him!” it declared while the smaller ants dispersed in every direction!

In case Virus didn’t have his spacecraft, without the shadow of a doubt, he would’ve been tracked down and slaughtered before he had the opportunity to escape very far.

Meanwhile, inside his spaceship that was heading north, Virus commanded the spaceship to fly as high as possible in its invisible mode.

Even though he could guarantee no one on this Earth would be capable of seeing past the invisibility of his spaceship, it never hurt to be more cautious.

‘Now, until I reach my destination, I better rest and recuperate.’ Examining the wound that was already mending itself, Virus decided.

After inspecting the open injury and the state of his broken bone with his sense of awareness, Virus was confident that the pill he had taken was strong enough to gradually heal his bones over time.

The only downside was that healing the bone was going to take a few days at least and during that period, it was advised that he doesn’t use his arm and just sleeps and rests.

…

Eight days flew by at the snap of a finger. During these eight days, Virus did nothing but rest in hopes of getting better faster.

And today, he was just stretching his hand out when the spaceship’s basic Artificial Intelligence notified him of their arrival at the destination.

That immediately attracted Virus’ undivided attention as he stood up and looked out of the spaceship at the scenery below him.

Currently, Virus could see a large ancient city beneath himself surrounded by nothing but desert in all directions. It was clearly noisy, energetic, and cheerful as people were walking around in all directions. 

“So, this is Ricando. The city inhabited by the Poison Deity Clan.” Virus voiced coldly while glimpsing at the boisterous city down below.

Ricando was surrounded by two layers of gigantic walls in the shape of rings that accommodated the city within themselves.

The first ring wall that was covering the larger outer segment of the city was called the outer wall and it naturally lodged the outer area of the city.

In order to enter the Outer Ricando, one had to pass through the gates of the outer wall.

Moreover, deep into the city itself, there was a layer of another wall that had given rise to the Inner Ricando.

As he was done inspecting the general picture of the city, Virus commanded the basic A.I. to descend.

Afterward, landing some distance away from one of the four gates that were pasted to the outer wall, Virus got off his spaceship and ambled toward the closest gate.

While strolling in that direction, he also continuously tested the functionality of his restored arm, making sure it had healed up to a perfect state.

Swish!

Also brandishing his sword around a little, Virus guaranteed that there was no problem with his arm anymore, the bones had been reverted to the state they were prior to the injury.

‘Hmm, that must’ve been a valuable pill.’ He ascertained with a relaxed brow free of frown lines. He felt truly grateful, not for the priestess that had given him the pill, but rather Hellarose who had persuaded the old lady to step up by promising her probably something extremely valuable.

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, Virus realized that he was already near the entrance.

Inspecting the surroundings, Virus spotted a short line of people waiting to legally pass into the city.

Virus as well, entered the orderly line as he bided his time until the people in front of him were gone.

Around fifteen minutes later, when it was finally his turn, Virus was stopped by one of the city guards who shouted, “Who are you? Show me your Identification that’s been issued by the Ricando state.”

“Identification Stone? I don’t have that. It’s my first time visiting this place.” Since there was no need to lie, Virus simply told them the truth.

Learning that he was a foreigner, the guard’s treatment and tone worsened by a level. Apparently, the foreigners weren’t perceived the same as the native ones. Therefore, he said dismissively, “Huh? Then you need to pay ten Qi Ingots of the first grade so as to certify your identity by the Ricando governor’s office.”

Honestly, Virus was unbothered by the guard’s tone and felt it was beneath him to even consider the idea of retaliating against the man since barking back at a barking dog only lowers one’s own worth.

Rubbing his chin, he casually answered, “Hmm, but I don’t have any Qi Ingots with me right now… can’t I enter the city and make some quick money before paying the city-state?”

Sadly yet, hearing that Virus had nothing to pay for, the city guard’s behavior experienced an even sharper turn for the worse. “If you have no money, then get the hell out of the line and stop bothering us!” 

Even though the way he was treating Virus before wasn’t that nice, to begin with, after hearing Virus was a poor person with nothing to offer, his gaze transformed entirely. Now, it was as if he was looking at nothing but a disgusting homeless peasant.

On the other side, Virus calmly carved the other person’s face while putting on his warmest smile, he may not bark back at the dog, but he can always kill it some time in order to stop the annoying noise.

‘I suppose I can only hop over to the outer wall using my spaceship.’ As that thought popped into his brain, Virus quickly returned to his spaceship.

Then, the spaceship stealthily moved toward the open space above the outer wall. 

Bam!

Suddenly, the spaceship crashed into something, sending intense tremors within the interior.. That immediately garnered Virus’ focus as he looked outside to see what was up.
