Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Boss, I'm going back to my room now." Shenli said goodbye and returned to his room.

Seeing this, Chen Shu returned to the master bedroom, and the girl followed him in.

After the girl entered the room, she looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the bathroom. "Boss, I'll go run a bath."

Chen Shu looked at the girl who had given him work to do and nodded... She shouldn't be an assassin.

Chen Shu was about to ask her how she got here when he suddenly realized he didn't know her name. "Um... what's your name?"

"Boss, you can just call me Xiaoxue." Xiaoxue's voice came from the bathroom.

"Okay, Xiaoxue, how did you get here?"

As soon as Chen Shu finished speaking, only the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom. After a full half minute, Xiao Xue's voice, slightly softer, came out, "Boss, the water's ready. If you want to listen, you can listen while you soak."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu immediately became interested; what was the story behind it?

Entering the bathroom, it was clear that Xiaoxue was feeling down. Chen Shu lightly jumped into the bathtub. "Hmm...it's probably a sad experience. Maybe I shouldn't talk about it."

"It's alright, maybe you can help me after hearing this, boss." Xiaoxue smiled, trying to sound relaxed.

"Actually, before I came here, I always admired my brother. My brother loves archery and practices with a bow and arrow for five or six hours almost every day."

“When he was a child, he often told me that he must be the most talented archer in the world. Although I often jokingly refuted him, I always believed in him. Later, he won the national championship as he wished.”

"The night he won the championship, he was so happy that he took me out to dinner, saying that we had to celebrate."

"But on that stretch of road, a group of men with guns rushed out. They were like madmen, beating my brother severely without saying a word. Then they turned their attention to me, and I passed out in an instant."

"When we woke up again, we were here, but they didn't beat us anymore. They just left us here and told us to figure out how to survive."

"Fortunately, my brother survived because of his physical strength from years of archery training, but that was all we did."

“Because of me, my brother is often ostracized and even beaten by others, but he always tries his best to protect me.”

"Just today, the people from War Axe found him and said that I should serve a mysterious master. If I agree, they will guarantee that my brother will no longer be bullied."

“Although my brother disagreed, I didn’t want him to be bullied anymore, so I pretended to disagree at first, and then I secretly went to the Tomahawk Squad.”

"Actually, I was very scared before coming here because I had heard the word 'mysterious' from other people."

Hearing this, Chen Shu sighed. It really felt like listening to a novel plot, so unreal, but here... it was real.

Xiaoxue turned pale when she heard Chen Shu sigh. "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just... I just..."

"It's alright, it's alright. You've probably heard that this is my first day here too. I'm just a little unaccustomed to this kind of thing." Chen Shu waved his hand.

"Does this Tomahawk squad have much prestige among ordinary believers?"

Xiaoxue nodded. "The residential area for ordinary believers is divided into ten streets, and each street will have a strongest person or team that stands up to manage that street."

"The Tomahawk Squad is the manager of Number One Street. There are six of them in total, and basically no one on our street dares to mess with them."

"I see." Chen Shu nodded. "By the way, are all the members of the Battle Axe Squad good people? Why didn't they have any bad intentions towards you?"

"I don't know, but... I'm really clean, boss." Xiaoxue looked a little flustered and shy.

I go!

Chen Shu looked at Xiaoxue's appearance and was speechless. Did he really look like a bad person? Why did he always suddenly say such things?

"Don't be nervous, that's not what I meant. It's just that I'm new here and need to learn about things here."

"Boss... can I ask you for a favor?" Xiaoxue's voice was soft and pleading.

"...You go first, but make it clear that I won't do anything like murder."

"No, no, I just wanted to ask you to come with me to see my brother tomorrow. I'm afraid he'll worry about me."

"No problem, don't worry. I'll go with you tomorrow. Okay, that's enough soaking, time for bed."

"Boss, let me wipe you down, then you can rest first, I'll take a shower."

"Whatever, don't ask me about such a small thing."

Xiaoxue nodded, picked up a towel and began to carefully wipe Chen Shu's face. After that, she picked up a hairdryer and slowly started to dry him.

Feeling Xiaoxue's small hands gently caressing his body, coupled with the warm air from the hairdryer, Chen Shu immediately felt that having Xiaoxue come over was a good thing.

"That's enough, boss. You can go and rest now," Xiaoxue said softly as she gently put the hairdryer back in its place.

"Mmm." Chen Shu nodded, walked out of the bathroom, jumped onto the bed, and lay down comfortably.

I had just lain down when I heard the sound of water running from the showerhead in the bathroom.

Feeling Dahuang's body, Chen Shu also had the idea of ​​changing into a human body.

However, if we were to make a change, but didn't want to replace the person with a living one, then the limitations would be too great, and many secrets might be exposed.

To obtain this ability, one must either be strong enough to never need a host again, or rely on the system's lottery system.

Thinking about the lottery, Chen Shu suddenly remembered that the Snake Woman was killed by the symbiotic offspring, so maybe she also had a chance to win a prize.

"System, do I have a chance to win a prize now?"

"Host's remaining lottery draw count: 1."

"Sure, even those killed by symbiotic offspring count. System, start the lottery!"

"Okay, the lottery is in progress..."

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Extremis Virus (Improved Version)]!

"【Extremis Virus】? Wait, why does it keep pulling out Marvel stuff? Isn't it supposed to be able to pull out anything? Does this mean I can't use it?"

Upon seeing the Extremis Virus, Chen Shu's hopes were instantly shattered. If he had a human body, he could have evolved using the Extremis Virus and gained superhuman abilities.

Remember in the comics, Iron Man used the Extremis virus to fuse with his armor.

If I could use it myself, I might be able to use this method to achieve free movement in a "battle armor" or similar body.

However, I generally can't use the things the system gives me, so it seems I'll have to wait a while longer if I want to walk freely in a human body.

"The Extremis Virus (Improved Version) is different from the Super Soldier Serum. The improved Extremis Virus can be used by the host."
