"Settlement and return."
In the pure white settlement space, the cold system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Scenario World: "Resident Evil 2" settlement in progress...]
[Ding! Killed Zombies × 78927, Killed Story BOSS: G-William (Mutant), Pursuer (Modified). Overall Evaluation: S+.]
[Basic Reward: Points +100, Free Attribute Points +2.]
[Kill Reward: Points +500]
[Item Harvest: None.]
[Mission Objective: Obtain g-virus Sample (Incomplete), basic reward deducted.]
[Current Total Earnings: Points × 500.]
[Ding! Your current comprehensive evaluation is A, Hunter rank increased to E+.]
Rank A evaluation.
This result was slightly higher than Lilith's expectations.
To still receive an A-rank despite not completing the main mission, it was clear that those last two mutant BOSSes contributed more than half.
Although it was a pity to have two Free Attribute Points deducted, fortunately, the comprehensive evaluation was still acceptable.
With an E+ Hunter rank, she would be able to reach D-rank next time, and at that point, her Mall would also undergo an update.
The items available for purchase would also be updated.
As the white light faded, the familiar Cave scenery came back into view.
Lilith's massive body slowly turned at the Cave entrance, her four scarlet vertical pupils scanning the territory.
Her colossal 18-meter body felt somewhat uncoordinated at this moment.
This Cave, which was once spacious, had become somewhat cramped for the current Lilith.
She could no longer enter the depths of the Cave; now, she could only stay in the periphery.
"Now that I've completed three Mutations, it's time to evolve. I wonder what kind of skill this evolution will grant."
[Wing Blade Slash] was the skill obtained after the last evolution; this time, barring any surprises, another skill should be granted.
Lilith stepped into the Cave, and on a spacious natural stone platform at the periphery, she slowly coiled her body, shrinking her massive form into a white mountain range full of power.
Afterward, Lilith opened her panel and sent a message to William.
[In the vicinity of the Cave, during the period when I have not issued an order, anyone is forbidden to come here. If there are violators, kill them directly!]
Evolution was her greatest secret, and under deep evolution, it was also when she was most vulnerable.
Therefore, no mistakes could be tolerated.
After a while, once Lilith received William's reply, she sank her consciousness into her body and issued a command to her talent.
[Detected that conditions for the Second Life Sublimation have been met! Beginning gene sequence integration...]
[Base Template Locked: Class Mammalia · Order Pterodactyl · Vampire Bat · Albino Mutant · First Evolution Form]
[Scanning fused gene bank...]
[Selected Fusion Genes: Brown Bear, Xenomorph Queen, t-virus.]
[Integrating gene sequences... Compatibility check passed... Energy supply sufficient...]
[Integration complete! Starting Second Life Level Evolution! Estimated time: 72 hours.]
The moment the command was confirmed, a deep drowsiness swept over her.
It wasn't fatigue, but a protection mechanism where consciousness is forced offline while every cell in the body enters a state of deep restructuring.
Lilith did not resist; her scarlet vertical pupils slowly closed, and her breathing became long and steady.
The evolution had begun.
First was the change on the body's surface.
Between the gaps of the silver-white Bone Armor, dark red energy pathways, like blood vessels, began to flow slowly and glow.
This energy was not dissipating randomly but was flowing along biological patterns, sketching complex and sinister totems on Lilith's body.
On the Bat Wings behind her, those eye totems that were originally just decorations suddenly snapped open.
Dozens of scarlet vertical pupils emerged on the wing membrane surface, each possessing independent focal lengths and fields of vision. They turned slowly, coldly surveying the surrounding 360-degree space, as if providing non-stop surveillance for the sleeping main body.
The most significant change came from Lilith's coiled body itself.
Translucent blood threads, condensed from highly concentrated blood energy, seeped out from every pore of Lilith's Bone Armor.
They were not tangled messily but were like living loom threads, wrapping Lilith layer by layer, round after round.
The blood threads intertwined, thickened, and solidified, finally forming a giant dark red blood cocoon five meters high and over eight meters in diameter.
The surface of the cocoon was not smooth but covered with slightly pulsating vessel-like protrusions. From within came a low heartbeat, as well as the dense sounds of faint bone grinding and tissue restructuring.
This time, Lilith's form did not undergo much change.
Because the Gene Dominator talent's judgment was very clear: the current Tyrant Form had reached the most perfect combat form in terms of physical structure.
Blindly changing her size would instead reduce her mobility and energy efficiency.
The focus of the Second Sublimation lay in refinement, integration, and qualitative change.
Embedding the absolute strength of the Brown Bear deeper into the core of the muscle fibers.
Upgrading the Xenomorph Queen's biological armor technology to the molecular level, giving the Bone Armor automatic repair and energy resistance.
Developing the Tyrant power contained within the t-virus to the extreme.
But the existence of the g-virus was destined to bring unknown uncertainty to this evolution.
The blood cocoon flickered with a faint red light rhythmically in the darkness, as if a world-ending behemoth was about to be born... While Lilith fell into deep evolution, changes in the outside world were sweeping the globe at an even more ferocious speed.
The Main God Game also underwent its first large-scale update after three dungeons.
[Update Announcement: Space Expansion — Trading Platform Open]
[1. Every player can purchase an exclusive room in the Main God Space. A new Trading Platform access point has been added, allowing direct teleportation from the room to the Trading Platform.]
[2. The Trading Platform is a ring-shaped corridor structure, with a diameter of 12 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer. At its center is the nine-story "Tower of Myriad Phenomena."]
[3. The plaza area between the ring-shaped corridor and the "Tower of Myriad Phenomena" is open for land plot purchase permissions.]
[4. A total of 10 platforms are open. Players can choose a platform to connect to their room; each room can only connect to one platform.]
[5. The Trading Platform will officially open in 10 days.]
[Special Tip: Forces or individuals who successfully purchase plaza land plots will receive a piece of rare intelligence regarding rapidly increasing strength.]
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Ten platforms, for billions of players worldwide, were merely ten large cities. It could be said that every piece of land would have ambitious major factions fighting tooth and nail to purchase and occupy them.
And the temptation of the intelligence provided by the system made all ambitious organizations red-eyed with greed.
Points instantly became a hot commodity, the target of plunder for major factions as they prepared to purchase a piece of land.
War, plunder, trade, and alliances—the world's chaos entered a new stage after the system announcement.
And within this torrent, the name of Apocalypse was spreading outward at an alarming speed... Transformation tomorrow (˵¯͒♦¯͒˵)
