âDisasforce level 3â
In front of everyone, a young man was breathing a bit heavily as he muttered the results of his calculations.
ã Passed ãwearing a white lab coat standing next to him, Negary nodded: ã After this, wait a bit and youâll be able to go and receive this weekâs salary ã
âThank you, Mister Wangâ Li Chang happily said.
The salary in this laboratory was extremely generous, even a weekâs worth of salary was enough for his living expenses for 2 months.

ã By implanting parasitic germs that carry Disasforce in the respiratory tract and form a miniature pseudo-organ, combined with the use of [Respiratory Art], it is possible for humans to perceive Disasforce ãNegary recorded the data and sighed.
The current scale of Disasforce only ranged from grade A to F, while the Disasforce provided to other people through Negaryâs [Otherworld Invasion] Authority usually didnât even reach grade A. For this reason, it was necessary for him to come up with a more detailed scale of Disasforce energy level.
Negary divided the Disasforce below grade A into ten levels, ranging from level 1 to 10.
The experiment that the young man performed just now was to use [Respiratory Art] to perceive the level of Disasforce contained within a nearby petri dish.
ã By breathing at this specific frequency, the germ micro-organ within the respiratory tract would adjust and function accordingly. During that period, the small amount of Disasforce within the test subjectâs body becomes active, through guidance, it can be directed to the True Spirit ã
ã Unfortunately, in such a case, the test subjectâs soul would first be destroyed by the Disasforce and succumb directly to death ãNegary muttered. Even with the D.E.R divisionâs data and records, it was still an almost impossible task to condition Disasforce to be suitable for the soul.
ã Perhaps I should alter my train of thought a little bit ãNegary retrieved the data on the manufacturing of Disasforce resistant material as well as the record on forging soul weapons.
This was a technology he obtained from the Church of Divine Grace back in the Flame world. They would extract the souls of devout Divine Grace followers, mix it with supernatural materials with various properties and forge them into weapons, one example being the Popeâs scepter.
Meanwhile, the manufacturing process of Disasforce resistant material was to keep a certain material constantly within a field of Disasforce, use that power to break it apart, then reform it through their unique technology to finally create materials that had adapted and became resistant to Disasforce. In this way, it wouldnât be incorrect to call them Disasforce material.
ã Instead of conditioning Disasforce to become suitable for the soul, I should instead condition my soul to adapt to Disasforce ãNegary had such a thought: ã Through combining [Respiratory Art] and visualization, guide oneâs soul to sense the frequency of Disasforce. Allow the soul to slowly adapt to Disasforce while using the soul weapon forging method to change the nature of oneâs soul ã
ã However, while this method is plausible, it is also extremely dangerous. To change the nature of my soul while also coming into contact with Disasforce, one wrong step would result in the destruction of my soul itself ã
ã If I widely spread this method, itâll result in too many deaths. But if I only limit it to a few elite people, I wouldnât be able to obtain enough data to complete this method ãNegary wasnât feeling his conscience haunting him or anything of the sort, as long as he could produce this method, he didnât care how many people would have to die. But doing that would cause too much hatred that it would be inconvenient for his follow-up plans.
ã Perhaps I should borrow âhisâ power ãNegaryâs eyes flickered. To anyone else, using a mere one or two specimens to obtain a comprehensive list of data was basically impossible, but the meaning of âhisâ existence itself should be to make the impossible possible.
We had a common name for such people: The Protagonist.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Negary put his hand up to where his heart was. There wasnât a heart inside his chest, but rather a Dragon of Eternal Sin. Nowadays, whenever he did something, especially when it was related to the possible âProtagonistâ Fang Ze, he would always use the Dragon of Eternal Sinâs error property to determine whether or not he was being affected.
ã In that case, letâs go ahead and implement it ãafter confirming that there were no issues, Negary swiftly prepared a detailed plan.
ã Fang Zeâs protection is too tight, and those people wonât allow me to use Fang Ze to experiment ãNegary mused: ã Then let me choose an intimate supporting role as the target instead, I suppose Fang Ze wouldnât want them to die ã
Knowing the people in powerâs desire to allow powerful Authority Holders to grow, Negaryâs plan was indeed to promote Fang Zeâs growth. This way, not only would they not try to stop him, they might even choose to contribute to it and make sure it happened.
ã Of course, itâs best not to leave too much evidence to be caught ãNegary was constantly perceiving the information coming in and out from his information network and easily formulated a scheme against Fang Ze.

âA Qiao[1], do I look good now or what?â Zhang Yu Lu smiled brightly. After losing a bit of weight, her charms were showing themselves more and more, including her attractivity to men that she inherited from her mother.
âMoreover, I donât even need to regulate my meal. No matter how much I eat now, I wonât get fat againâ
If this was an age of famine, having this increased level of metabolism would be walking to your death, but in the peaceful modern society, without a shortage of food, people were instead more worried about obesity.
âDrop it, A Ze said that itâs better not to inject that thing into your bodyâ He Qiao shook her head with a slight look of sadness in her eyes.
During this period of time, Fang Ze had been deliberately avoiding He Qiao, only when she was just about to inject Negaryâs companyâs first product did he come out to persuade her against it.
âDidnât that guy leave you after he got a girlfriend to live with?â Zhang Yu Lu glanced at her and sneered: âI canât believe that youâre still listening to him like this, itâs like you were brainwashed or somethingâ
âWhat are you talking aboutâ- I ââweâre just neighbours...â He Qiao hurriedly retorted.
âCome on, your expression has betrayed youâ Zhang Yu Lu scoffed at her friend: âYou really donât use your advantage as a woman at all. If you had taken the initiative and tempted him a bit, you might have already captured that little brat a long time agoâ
âMy mother told me that as women, as long as we play to our advantages, weâd be able to firmly hold the men in our handsâ Zhang Yu Lu said confidently.
He Qiao didnât notice the strange tone of her friend and felt a bit sad instead. She practically watched Fang Ze grow up to become who he was today, having been close to him since they were young. The sense of pride she felt when seeing the kid she used to take care of growing up also manifested as an indescribable feeling in her heart towards the boy three years younger.
âHah, donât think too much about that. Thereâs a Negary store just up ahead, how about you try it out and change to a new image? Maybe that guy will have a change of heart?â Zhang Yu Lu urged her.
In her confusion, He Qiao didnât realize how Zhang Yu Lu was being a bit more lively than usual today and was already pulled by her friend into a Negary pharmaceutical store to receive a slimming injection.
The guards who were responsible for protecting He Qiao hurriedly notified their superiors. The slimming injections contained the Disasforce of the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority Holder, which was equivalent to a permanent marking.
Because of this, the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority Holder might come into conflict with the Disaster King Apophis.
[1] A Qiao: the âAâ before the name is the Chinese equivalent of the -chan or -san suffix, only used by either people close to you or your seniors
