Aberrant Being, the source of extreme evolution, all "Evil" and "Ill Omen" taboos, if zombies are genetic failures, and mutants are the embodiment of countless negative emotions, then Aberrant Beings are beings that amplify all "failures" and "negatives" infinitely, deepening, deepening, deepening...

  When any substance reaches an extreme, it will produce unpredictable changes and distort into extreme properties. The heteromorphic demon is such an existence that thoroughly abandons human nature, soul, hope for redemption, emotional memory, and ideological judgment... with despair as its source, with extreme evil as its soul, only retaining a kind of extreme evolutionary consciousness, the body and soul are completely demonized and extremely mutated.

  The PB virus is short for Pandora's box, and the mutated demon is the "extreme evil" and "ill omen" released by Pandora's box.

  Why is there an ominous aura surrounding the demon's lair?

  Because every evolving creature, whether it's a new human or other mutant monster, has no good ending when encountering the Devouring Demon, they all become the Devouring Demon's blood food. Moreover, as long as one is tainted by the Devouring Demon's aura, either their soul falls and loses humanity, or they head towards extreme evolution, ultimately leading to self-destruction.

  The demon of heteromorphism will not bring forth any source of evolution or ability, nor even beneficial substances such as blood beads and blood crystals. Death will only have a vast field of resentment, poison, and evil energy that can turn a place into a truly barren wasteland where nothing grows.

  However, the most ominous thing is that every time a mutated demon dies, there must be a creature that inherits the "extreme evil" of the mutated demon, passing on this curse to the next creature, becoming an extremely terrifying being.

  Mù Xiāo was once a new human who also walked the path of extreme evolution, but he did not become an "Aberrant" because his heart still retained humanity, self-trust, and memories that could not be forgotten. He also did not want to lose the last hope for redemption, whereas Aberrants only had despair, destruction, hatred, resentment... all the most evil sources of misfortune.

  But if one becomes a Devouring Demon, their combat strength can't be evaluated by common sense. However, it's certain that within the same realm, a new human would find it difficult to kill a Devouring Demon, even if the new human is several realms higher. This is because a Devouring Demon's power has transformed into negative attributes and extreme properties, which greatly restrain orthodox powers.

  The most important thing is that the heteromorphic demon has an extreme evolutionary power of destructive amplification, as long as there is an opponent who cannot be defeated by force, the heteromorphic demon will use its extremely self-injurious evolutionary power to fully amplify its own strength and rapidly rise to the same level as the opponent.

  Once demonized, there is no hope for redemption.

  However, Mizukage was once a Kagerou, and the most terrifying one at that, for she possessed self-awareness as well as the extreme evolution abilities of "Depravity" and "Calamity".

  ……

  So now, Muxiao can only pray that she has the bloodline of Shui Bailan, and can unconsciously harmonize the aura of the Deviant Magic. After all, the genetic basis of Shui Bailan's bloodline is unknown, but since she can control this extreme attribute of Deviant Magic, there must be something extraordinary about it. Moreover, the Deviant Magic outside is only in its initial awakening state, and Shui Bailan's bloodline has an innate advantage. Who knows, maybe Muxiao herself has the bloodline of Shui Bailan hidden within her own blood and energy.

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second, and all around was as oppressive as death itself.

  But the demon of alienation did not intend to leave, for that one strand of icy coldness, like the hellish aura of Avīci, continued to flow through these few streets, and the surrounding air was ionized into an extremely negative magnetic field.

  The mutant sensed that something special existed, but couldn't determine what it was or locate it.

  "Although it's not the worst-case scenario, I'm afraid this is the most desperate moment." Mu Xiushi maintained his low body temperature and almost imperceptible breathing, with all bodily functions seemingly halted, making him nearly indistinguishable from a stiff corpse. However, this was merely a state of pseudo-death.

  He clearly saw that the mutated demon outside had not left for a long time, and instead of chasing after that group of mutated dogs, it stayed here. It must have discovered that there was something special about itself, but couldn't find its own location, so this mutated demon wanted to find out what this unknown thing was.

  "Why did the anomaly appear just at the beginning?" Mu Xiao felt that even if he was reborn, he couldn't grasp all the evolutionary trajectories, and could only grasp the information he had seen, experienced, and known before. He couldn't know every detail of the changes in the world, but now after being reborn, his life trajectory had changed, and he encountered unexpected situations, which indeed gave him a great shock.

  Mushan quickly calmed down his startled mood and rapidly rummaged through his memories, thinking if there was anything suspicious.

  "At that time, I didn't leave the Magic Capital until three years later. In those three years, it was either killing monsters to upgrade my genetic resonance or fighting with a bunch of new humans...” Mu Xiao quickly fell into deep thought, ignoring the terrifying mutated demon outside.

  He can't take any measures if he's really discovered by the alienated demon, so it's only his own bad luck. So, during this time, he recalls the memories of the past, what exactly went wrong with this alienated demon.

  Mushan didn't believe in the existence of the butterfly effect. After all, he was just a small person who had been reborn and hadn't yet gained control over the world's power, nor had he truly become strong enough to be that one butterfly wing that stirred up the entire world's evolutionary trajectory.

  So he felt that Magic City might be hiding an unknown place. Similarly, institutions like the Lawyer's Building might not have been discovered yet.

  "The capital of magic has a military camp, but will there be any strange places there? However, many new humans have gone in to hunt and kill enhanced zombie soldiers before, and I've also personally ventured deep into the hunt several times, but haven't found any strange places."

  The most suspicious place in the Magic Capital, Mu Xiao had also visited several of them before, but now there was no point in investigating further.

  However, Mu Xiao can be certain that this abnormal demon is unlikely to be a normal awakening, and there must be something strange about it. The most likely possibility is that it is a human-made killing weapon created through research, like the existence of Shui Bailan, which may have gone wrong, leading to an unpredictable change in this humanoid killing weapon, awakening into an extremely terrifying abnormal demon.

  Suddenly, Mu Xiao remembered something important.

  "Is this related to their descent?" Mu Xiao's expression was as heavy as a deep pool, with an unresolvable gloom and chill.

  Perhaps it is only when that day arrives that there will be an answer.

  As the wooden shutter fell, a gust of howling wind came from outside, like a fierce ghost wailing, with a power as if a storm was approaching, bringing endless coldness and killing intent, indiscriminately smashing every house on each street, and a series of increasingly loud and intense noises followed.

  No matter how intense the commotion was, no mutant creature dared to approach, and as soon as a large group of mutants sensed the presence of the aberrant mage, they fled in terror.

  "Indeed, this is how you launch a surprise attack to break the tranquility. As long as you disrupt my breath and detect even the slightest unusual fluctuation, you can capture my position, right?" Mu Xiao secretly smiled wryly, but his mental state became even more stable, his willpower and divine power settling down without any ripples.

  Mushishi is undoubtedly a seasoned cultivator with an exceptional innate talent, whether it's his control over his aura or his abilities, currently there isn't anyone who surpasses him.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Like a hammer striking with fierce force, incessant and unrelenting, outside a multitude of glass shattering sounds echoed loudly, shards scattering everywhere, in the stillness of the dark night, piercingly sharp to the ear, as if performing a melody of violent aesthetics.

  "I don't believe you have the boundary of destroying several streets here, and the continuous power consumption is getting bigger and bigger. Even if it's a mutated demon, it's impossible to have endless power." Mu Xiao didn't care about the increasingly intense movement, as long as he held on and didn't appear flustered, the mutated demon wouldn't be able to detect anything unusual in this location.

  Like a tornado sweeping in, the windows outside shattered into pieces, and several shards of glass flew towards Mu Shao's side. He remained unmoved, the negative aura outside had already permeated the entire room where he was hiding, if he made even the slightest movement now, he would definitely expose his tracks.

  Just then, Mu Xiao's heart stopped beating and his breathing completely ceased, just like he had truly died, without a hint of life.

  The intense noise gradually faded away, and eventually there was no sound at all. The surroundings returned to a dead silence, and the dark, cold, hateful, and resentful negative energy dissipated without a trace, as if the alienated demon had left and given up its search.

  The wooden Xiao still didn't move, without any action of quickly escaping this place of right and wrong.

  Half an hour later, a chill, bloody, deathly, destructive... extremely terrifying murderous intent, like a ferocious beast from the primordial chaos, came back with a fierce storm.

  Hiss!

  A shrill, piercing cry unlike any living creature's, like a sharp arrow shooting towards the sky at incredible speed, instantly pierced through the entire night.

  Another round of violent outburst, destruction and noise, lasted for dozens of minutes, before these streets returned to calmness. That abnormal demon didn't stay but changed direction and left.

  One hour has passed, two hours have passed...

  The wooden Xiao seemed to have died in the past without any signs of life, until the third hour arrived, when the "extreme evil" pressure of the alien demon reappeared outside, and the negative resentment flowed continuously. This time, the alien demon did not stay for long, nor did it cause destruction, but rather seriously confirmed once again that there really seemed to be nothing strange here.

  The demon king left for the third time, this time seemingly truly leaving without any reservations.

  Mokusei alone maintained his "death" state.

  When night had passed, the sky was already dimly lit.

  At this time, a fierce and extreme aura flashed by, then left even faster.

  The sunshine is bright and beautiful, but it can't hide the chill in the air. These few streets don't even have half a zombie, they are desolate and eerie.

  One morning time, the alien monster came back twice, and by afternoon time it didn't come back again.

  At the moment when the sun was about to set, a dark corner suddenly appeared with vigorous life fluctuations like something that had been dead.

  "It's a good thing I remembered that obscure technique, the Turtle's Breath, which was considered useless. Who would have thought it would be so effective this time?" Mu Xiao took two deep breaths and his body recovered to its peak state. "If I hadn't studied the Deviant Magic before and fought against it, I wouldn't have been able to grasp its underlying rules."

  Muxiao knew from the start that the demon king wasn't someone who would easily give up, so he had been holding back all along. However, the demon king's patience was also limited. The calmer he seemed on the surface, the more violent his negative emotions became. When the demon king's negative emotions reached a boiling point, his behavior would become increasingly calm, until finally, that one stock of violent and explosive extreme negative emotion would erupt like wildfire or dynamite in the midst of his calmness.

  Otherwise, the demon of alienation will self-destruct with extreme emotions.

  The wooden Xiao calculated the limit of the demon's transformation, and only then did he understand that this was the safest situation.

  He lightly jumped out from the windowsill.
