Infinity, The Arcade Age-Chapter 345: The Rampaging Gene

Staring at Dr. Calamity as his body slammed onto the ground with a resounding thud, Qin Ming and even those who had been preparing to take off were momentarily dumbfounded.

Not only was Qin Ming stunned—Dr. Calamity, who had been forcibly stripped apart, was also at a loss for words, taking a long time to recover before he finally flung his mouth open and screamed wildly:

"Idiot! You absolute idiot! What's the difference between a body without intelligence and a beast? This is my body! How can you eliminate me? I am the most perfect part! You damned fool! Fools..."

BOOM!

Before Dr. Calamity could finish his rant, a tremendous explosion suddenly rang out.

In the very next moment, his already mutated flesh suddenly received a vicious kick that stomped down hard, instantly striking his head and, in a very physical way, forcing his mouth shut.

After all that, the mutated body—which had already undergone its third evolution—suddenly roared to the heavens.

On the opposite side, Qin Ming looked on in complete shock as a gigantic behemoth over six meters tall roared wildly.

This thing had truly mutated into a complete monster!

[Name: Dr. Calamity – Final Form]

[Strength: 100]

[Constitution: 100]

[Agility: 10]

[Spirit: 1]

[Skills: Unstable Gene (S-class), Fusion Flame (S-class)]

[Description: Pure, extreme flesh; pure, extreme strength; pure, extreme beast.]

Staring at this colossal entity, to be honest, Qin Ming found himself momentarily at a loss for words to describe its appearance.

This so-called perfect gene body now looked anything but perfect: a bloated, enormous mass with severely degenerated limbs, and with nine slender dinosaur heads sprouting from its body.

This thing had transformed from a lightning-fast hunter into a pure meat shield—completely abandoning speed!

What is this situation? Could it be that it hurt itself and decided to play defense to the end?

Before Qin Ming could recover from his bewilderment, a roar suddenly pierced the air.

It turned out that the gene monster before him had now lowered its head, aligning all nine heads toward Qin Ming.

Those heads, gleaming with the pure radiance of a wild beast, simultaneously opened their mouths wide, and then...

WHOOSH!

A blinding light suddenly erupted! Nine beams of light shot out simultaneously, slicing through the trees!

Immediately, under Qin Ming's astonished gaze, the trees in the path of the beams broke uniformly into pieces!

Laser Beam Attack!

"F---!"

After a startled shout escaped his lips, Qin Ming finally understood what those nine heads were for. Hastily, he activated his flying backpack and accelerated upward.

As he soared above, the nine beams chased after him, continuously sweeping through the air.

Wherever the beams passed, rocks were sliced apart, trees were severed, and even the building in the background was cut through with a gash.

This third-stage mutated Dr. Calamity had evolved into nothing less than a fixed artillery turret—transforming from a fighting vehicle into a battleship!

He had forsaken all close combat and mobility, completely switching to a siege warfare mode!

Drifting in mid-air in a state of terror as he dodged laser cuts, Qin Ming broke out in a cold sweat.

Facing such a level of firepower, Qin Ming dared not attempt to activate his blood absorption skill to engage in a mutual barrage.

With that kind of ridiculous killing power that can slice through anything in an instant—and with no fewer than nine heads—it wasn't a matter of counterfire at all; it was a death sentence!

Qin Ming was completely convinced that if he dared to engage this enemy head-on, his body would be sliced to pieces like tofu in the next second—even his steel-like damage immunity wouldn't save him!

Isn't this what happens when gene evolution goes to its extreme? How can gene evolution, when pushed to its limit, turn into pure firepower? This evolution must be wrong!

Where are the Ultraman heroes? If even Ultraman had evolved into a monster, why hasn't Ultraman come out and shoot him with his beams yet?!

Outside the building and in the forest, the rampaging gene body continued its relentless shooting, with nine beams mercilessly cutting through everything around.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming, flying like a fly in the sky, darted back and forth, weaving between the barrage of beams.

At this moment, he was very grateful—grateful that Dr. Calamity had been stripped of his human part, causing this monster to lose its intelligence and become a mere beast, unable to predict his moves.

Otherwise, if it knew how to control its beams and coordinate them to corner him, Qin Ming was sure he would have been swept down long ago!

Zipping through the sky, Qin Ming looked down at the forest that was nearly flattened, and at the bulky, still-firing monster in the midst of it all. With gritted teeth, he suddenly accelerated straight toward it.

This way of fighting wasn't sustainable! He always had his mistakes—and a mistake would mean death!

So he had to shut it up! Physically shut it up!

Staring at Qin Ming wildly rushing through the sky, and at the gene construct below carelessly firing away, all nine heads simultaneously lifted and fired beams of light directly at Qin Ming.

At the sight, Qin Ming's pupils constricted. Instead of dodging, he accelerated headlong toward them.

At the same moment he charged, the item in his hand began to glow.A "Three Kingdoms" item—Fish-Scale Vest! Dull silver quality! It grants physical invincibility for 3 seconds!

WHOOSH!Furious beams of light collided with Qin Ming's body! As his surface began to shimmer, Qin Ming immediately activated his Heavenly Glide skill, ramping up his speed and charging forward against the beams.

Simultaneously, the nine beams struck the surface of the Fish-Scale Vest. In the next second, they were forcefully refracted outward, redirecting to sweep across the surroundings and continuously slicing the earth.

Relying on the item to counter the beams, Qin Ming instantly closed the distance to the gene construct!First, the nine refracted beams, as the distance closed, changed their refraction angles and began to sweep onto the gene construct itself, cutting deep wounds all over its body.

Then, Qin Ming crashed headlong into the gene construct, successfully injecting White Flame into it to weaken its defenses.

In pain, the gene construct roared wildly, its nine heads spitting out beams as it pursued Qin Ming relentlessly.

Meanwhile, with the item's duration ended, Qin Ming, having successfully closed the gap, controlled his flying backpack and began soaring at high speed right along the gene construct's flank.

He flew ahead while the beams chased him, slashing back and forth in midair. Not only did they fail to hit Qin Ming, but they also repeatedly cut into the necks of other pursuing dinosaurs.

Those extra-long dinosaur necks—grown specifically to enhance flexibility and maneuverability, resembling those of a long-necked dragon—proved extremely effective for long-range shooting. However, once enemies got close, each of the nine heads attacked independently, completely throwing the formation into chaos.

Some beams swept wildly, others pursued with vicious bites—and without any intelligence to control their angles, the nine dinosaur heads began to attack one another in a frenzy.

As the gene construct's body was injured, it grew increasingly enraged, and the more furious it became, the harder its blows landed, causing even more damage—a vicious cycle ensued.

Eventually, amid its frantic roars, these nine dinosaur heads—clearly not sharing a single processor but each possessing its own mind—actually began to fight among themselves!

Random beams of light were wildly sprayed, while the extended brains tore at each other in desperate bites. In Qin Ming's astonished gaze, the mutant began a bloody internal conflict...

BOOM!After more than twenty minutes and amid a tremendous crash, the colossal creature in the woods finally collapsed.

It had ended up destroying itself—its own gene construct, after fighting itself, finally died; not by Qin Ming's hand, but by its own internal strife.

Even as its body suffered severe damage, it continued to mutate, with each of its nine heads transforming differently.Some began to spew fire, some hardened, and some even split further into additional heads.

The uncontrollably mutating gene eventually starved from lack of nutrients.After more than twenty minutes of internal warfare, it finally burned out and faded away.

At the moment of death, its heads had proliferated to over forty, and the number of mutations reached as many as eight!

Gazing at the deformed monster, its body shriveled from lack of nourishment and collapsing to the ground, Qin Ming couldn't help but admit that he was truly frightened by the research results of Dr. Calamity.

Eight mutations! What a terrifying display of life force!And yet, it didn't ultimately die from mutation—it was literally starved to death!

Whether Dr. Calamity's research results were perfect or not, Qin Ming didn't know, but he was sure that this thing was terrifying.It was just too stupid—and it had taken the wrong path in the end, splitting its consciousness until one brain became nine.

Nine minds sharing one body! They were bound to eventually tear each other apart!

Shaking his head in disbelief, Qin Ming strode over, ready to pick up the treasure chest from the gene construct.

He was sure that this time the haul would be extraordinary! With the combat power and tenacity on display, it was incomparable to any final boss from another world!Maybe he would even obtain a high-grade treasure chest he'd never seen before—dazzling golden quality, or perhaps even the legendary epic grade!

Just the thought made Qin Ming extremely excited!But as he retrieved the treasure key from the gene construct, his smile suddenly froze.

Because the key's grade was... dull silver?!

Staring in disbelief at the key in his hand, Qin Ming was utterly flabbergasted.Silver? How could it be silver?!

Even if the monster had died from internal strife—and even if the Nightmare Space had siphoned away most of its value, greatly reducing the key's worth—such a terrifying monster should at least grant him a golden chest! How could it be silver?!Defiantly, Qin Ming quickly pocketed the key and began frantically rummaging around.

Moments later, when he finally picked up his loot, Qin Ming stood dumbfounded.In his arms, there were over forty dull silver keys!

The loot from this gene construct was calculated separately—each head counted as a BOSS! What kind of absurd loot system was this?What use are so many low-level silver keys?!Even if he merged them all, they wouldn't add up to a single epic key!
