The Haru army arrived quickly and left even faster. They didn't even bother to glance at the dead, mutated Haru on the ground.
These companions were no longer the companions they knew; they were merely deformed puppets.
Just after Haru's army left, a mutated Haru struggled to open his eyes.
It was no surprise that it had been stabbed in the heart, but the stab was slightly off-center.
With its powerful life force, this god, parasitizing Haru, consumed a large number of mushrooms with the rest of Haru's life.
While eating mushrooms to boost physical potential might prolong life for a while, death is inevitable for such a body.
The god didn't care whether Haru lived or died; he only wanted to use this body to complete his final mission.
Protozoa are not uncommon here; there is a huge one not far from this Haru.
Haru forcefully unleashed its potential to climb to the top of the Protosporum, swallowing several handfuls of spores directly into its stomach.
At this point, the deity used its own methods to begin separating the virus from Haru's body and then recombine it with the DNA of the Protozoan spores.
Having completed this step, Haru's life force was exhausted, and he collapsed to the ground, dying completely.
However, within Haru's still-warm stomach, a group of true demons is brewing, more terrifying than any war, and they are about to affect the entire world!
These mutated spores no longer require secondary development; they are rapidly germinating and developing white mycelium within Haru's nutrient-rich body at the rate of viral division.
In just a few minutes, white mycelium had already sprouted from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the Haru corpse.
This scene was even more bizarre and terrifying than Haru's original mutation and evolution. Haru's body was rapidly deflated, like a punctured balloon.
From the appearance of the mycelium to Haru turning into a skeleton, only about a minute passed. The next moment, even Haru's skeleton began to be invaded by the mycelium, melting and completely decomposing until there was not a trace left.
The mycelium may not have received enough nutrients yet, and those white mycelium began to spread outwards like a tide.
The corpses of other Haru on the ground, wild grass, and trees were all within the range of the mycelium's invasion. Now these Protosporum have become like wild horses, destroying all energy matter in their path at an unbelievable speed.
Now even the original Protozoa parent organisms are not spared; they have all been replaced by this new type of mutated Protozoa.
At this moment, the abandoned sinkhole became a paradise for the Proterophytes, and the Proterophytes began to spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The dense, overwhelming mass of them was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Haru's army, with their families in tow, was still fleeing, while Tang Yi continued to relentlessly pursue them.
What they didn't know was that the war itself was no longer important; they were all now facing the same crucial problem.
This issue will affect the survival of all living beings; it's no longer a question of who will be wiped out.
Rather, everyone could face extinction, including the insects that the gods longed for; none could escape this catastrophe.
Those gods only valued the speed at which the virus reproduced, but forgot that they themselves were originally created from single-celled organisms by these native fungi and evolved step by step to achieve what they have today.
When it comes to evolution, these seemingly unassuming fungi are the most terrifying, having evolved for over a billion years.
The reason their form hasn't changed over such a long time isn't because they don't want to change, but because after trying countless different forms, they've decided that the fungal form is the best choice for long-term survival.
The more advanced life forms that existed before fungi were afraid that these new life forms would replace them, so they added many restrictions to their genes to prevent them from developing too quickly.
However, the mantis-men, who were also eager to revive the species, inadvertently helped Harasuga.
The key to Pandora's box has been turned, and the long-dormant demons within will once again descend, inevitably leading to a major reshuffling of the world.
However, even the mantises didn't expect that the Protoceratops they wanted to use already had its own plans.
In order to eliminate all the organisms that threaten it, this time the Protozoa chose not to absorb carbon dioxide and release large amounts of oxygen.
This time it's the opposite; it will absorb oxygen and release large amounts of carbon dioxide day and night.
In that case, regardless of the type of organism, unless it can evolve the ability to breathe using carbon dioxide in a short period of time, all living things will be doomed and will suffocate.
This move can be described as extremely vicious, eliminating all living things without leaving any blind spots. With only the Protocerasifera species remaining on the land of the entire world, nothing can threaten its position anymore.
In the end, everyone schemed and plotted against each other, but no one won. The biggest winner was actually this inconspicuous fungus that took control of the entire world.
The Haru had lost its direction and began to flee aimlessly. The Haru, running non-stop, had already traveled dozens of kilometers north.
Even the strongest body can't withstand constant exhaustion, so Haru had to stop and rest for a while before continuing his escape.
As soon as they stopped, Haru, who hadn't slept for a day and a night, immediately felt as if his eyelids were filled with lead and couldn't be opened. Even the guards had fallen into a deep sleep.
The sentries now being posted are the Haru forces that were originally stationed in the sinkhole. These forces are several levels weaker than the main Haru force.
There were people of all ages, including women and children, but now it was a time of life and death for the race, so no one cared about that.
Tang Yi and the others, who had been chasing Haru for a day and a night, were also extremely exhausted. Seeing that a large number of Haru had already rested, they found a suitable tree to rest on the spot.
The task of keeping watch was temporarily assigned to Pat and Top. Last night, in order to preserve some manpower, Pat and Top were carried by Dante and Dony to rest for the night.
They are in high spirits now, but it's still no problem to see where Haru is going.
Tang Yi judged that these Haru wouldn't wake up so soon, and with Pat and Top on lookout, he dared to climb the tree to rest for a while.
They both fell asleep almost simultaneously, and they didn't know how long they slept. When Tang Yi and the others woke up, the sun had already risen to its zenith.
Top and Pat remained dutifully perched on the branch, carefully watching the movements of the Haru on the ground. Several Haru had already awakened.
Perhaps they were a bit hungry from their long journey, so Haru's group started a fire. They had brought some food from their own lair, and now that food was roasting over the fire.
