Jayr POV - Earth, Geia, ter for Disease trol and Prevention - 2010

  I don't waste any more time and directly admit, "Indeed... I have a really bold idea on how to actually eradicate this virus. You see, in traditional medie, there is a saying that in a few words means fighting poison with poison. Basically, it is the idea that sometimes to cure a poisoned patient you have to administer a stronger poison that will actually kill the first one before taking care of the sed one. My idea behind the cure is the same, it is a virus that is causing all these problems then only another virus deal with it, a very specifid of virus... a virophage."

  Shortly after I said that, Dr. Jenner looks utterly stunned by what he just heard while Rick, Shane, and Daryl are obviosly fused looking at oher hoping that one of them finally asks the question that is likely roaming in their head.

  This siles for a few seds until Daryl lets out a sigh, steps forward, and asks, "So, Doc... what the hell is this viropgue you are talking about? And why does the older Doc seem to be so shocked about it?"

  In respoo that, I quickly correct him, "It's virophage." before I calmly start to expin, "Virophages are small, double-stranded DNA viral phages that require the fe of another virus. The feg viruses are typically giant viruses. Virophages rely on the viral replication factory of the feg giant virus for their own replication. One of the characteristics of virophages is that they have a parasitic retionship with the feg virus. Their dependence upon the giant virus for replication oftes in the deactivation of the giant viruses. Because of that some virophage may improve the recovery and survival of the host anism."

  Hearing that, Daryl tilts his head and asks, "Okay... and in English that means...?" which makes me once again expin in a more simple way, "Using a simir example to the one we used before, it is like someone breaking into your house to use your kit but this time, he brought someone else with him. The virus still brought its own recipe, and again it o use your dishes, measuring cups, mixer, and oven to make it. But this time unknown to the virus that someone he brought is actually a mole that works for us who tampers with the virus' recipe and as and after it has gained everything it needs from the virus it kills it and leaves the house mostly untouched, after it ed up the pce."

  In response, a wary Rick 't stop himself from asking, "This is all good and well but... it is safe to do something like this? I mean we are all in this situation because a virus, likely a man-made one, got out of trol and spread all over the world. How are you so sure that this virophage won't make the situation even worse?"

  Hearing that question, Dr. Jenner snaps out of his stuate and replies, "No we 't be absolutely sure that it is going to be safe, after all, even if Dr. Pucci's idea is absolutely brilliant there are a lot of variants that one has to sider, almost too many and with a single, minuscle mistake things easily go horribily wrong when talking about viruses... This is almost to the level of humans pying God..."

  While Dr. Jenner is saying that, I almost 't hold back from rolling my eyes while thinking, 'How dramatic... It is only a simple virus created with the single objective of iing the Wildfire Virus and all its possible strains and eradig it from the hosting body before modifying the host immune system to make it able to fight off the Wildfire Virus on its own before it self-destructs, nothing so difficult. Especially when there is an actual God of Healing behind its creation, this isn't a case of "Humans pying God" but of "God pying Humans", after all, if I had access to my Spiral o I could have fixed everything with a snap of my fingers.'

  Shortly after thinking that, I focus ba the discussion and reassure them, "While it is true that it could be very dangerous, that is only in the case that we are too careless. But I won't be careless with something that could affect the future of the whole human species, I'll make sure that the virophage we will create will only target the Wildfire Virus and its possible strains and that will also improve the immune system of its host making it able to fight off the Wildfire Virus on its own, basically doing almost the same thing a vae does. Luckily, it is quite easy to find samples of both the dormant and active virus to study as they are basically everywhere."

  In respoo my words, Rick, Shane, and Daryl look a lot more relieved but Dr. Jenner is still dubious and asks, "But what about the possibility of the virophage mutating in a more harmful dire than intended? It isn't totally impossible, isn't it?"

  Hearing that question, I focus on Dr. Jenner, and with a fident smile I reply, "No, it isn't pletely impossible but that be prevented by eng very specific sets of instrus in the virophage's DNA which will cause the virus to immediately self-destru cases of ges outside the ones we intended beforehand by gumming up the works of the usual replication process, causing the virophage to die without produg any offspring."

  Shocked, Dr. Jenner's eyes open wide as he excims, "Something like that is actually possible!?" to which I nod with a smile and reply, "Yes, it is possible... I read the results of the researchers at Northwestern Uy and at the Uy of Arizona where they were able to do something simir using other means such as introdug it into the pathogen DNA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), a highly antibiotic-resistant and deadly bacterium or by introdug a modified protein that screws up the replication process... So it is indeed something possible."

  Shortly after expining that, I answer a few more of their questions, mostly those of Dr. Jenner, before I ask Daryl, Rick, and Shao go out of the building with a few other people and capture a walker for us as we need a sample of the active virus to create an effective virophage that targets only the Wildfire Virus and its possible variants, I also remind them of cutting off the arms and the jaws of the captured walker to take away their ability to grab and bit thus making them harmless and way more docile.

  While Rick's group goes out to capture a walker so that we study the active virus, I teach Dr. Jenner how to produce the Rad-X and the RadAway and I also teach him their formu so that he teach it to others and they produce it even when I'll leave this world.

  Son Goza POV - Earth, Geia, Unnamed Woods - 2010

  I'm still aimlessly walking through the same thick, humid forest I found myself in when I first arrived in this universe when I passed through the Unigate and even if 7 days have already passed, I still wasn't able to find a way out or at least find out in what universe I actually ended up.

  Luckily I'm not pletily clueless about that st point, in fact, there are a few clues that helped me narrow down the possible universes I could actually be by quite a bit.

  The first clue, ohat I noticed as soon as I set foot in this universe, is the absolute absence of Ki or any other supernatural energy, this was quite easy as the Ki in my body became i as soon as I arrived.

  Moreover, the same be said about my much weaker Magic Power, which is quite a shame as while I'm not as strongly talented in Magic as I'm with my Ki, the things I learned from, Dende, Popo-san, and Piccolo-san could have been very, very useful in my current situation as I learned how to heal, jure, transmute, and seal using Magic.

  Anyway, thanks to that, I at least learhat I'm in a universe where Magid Supernatural Powers do s.

  Luckily as a Saiyan, I'm still way strohan a regur human which means that I'm pretty safe as long as I don't get hit by a nuke or something at that level, even more so because I'm pretty sure that the teology of this universe isn't as advanced as the one in my home universe.

  The reason behind my fiden that statement is the sed and most important clue that I found shortly after my arrival in this universe, zombies.

  I met a small horde of zombies after wandering around this forest for some time, and their presence made me instantly realize that I'm likely in one of the many, many universes that are tered around a Zombie Apocalypse.

  The only bad news is that the Zombie Apocalypse theme was quite popur in my previous life and I wasn't too much of a fan of the genre and only know of the most famous and popur works, so even with the exclusion of supernatural powers and magic, the possibilities are just too many for me to guess just where I'm actually am, the only thing I know for sure is that I exclude is that I'm not in World War Z Universe as the Zombies aren't running faster than Usain Bolt, nor I'm in the Resident Evil Universe as only humans seems to be affected by whatever caused them to turn into zombies.

  I also exclude the High School of the Dead Universe from the list, for a very simple reason, because the chest of all the female zombies that I have seen until now is quite regur, something that is almost impossible sidering the gravity-defying assets of all the female characters, moreover, the faost of the zombies I have seen until now have more westerures thaern ones which makes it quite uhat my current location is actually Japan.

  In fact, sidering just how varied the ethnicity of the zombies I have seen, it is more likely that I'm somewhere in Europe or America, but it is more likely that I'm in America as I have entered a bck bear before and I remember reading somewhere that the bck bear is an animal that is exclusive of North Amerid 't be found nowhere else.

  *Grrrrr!*

  Once again, my stomach growls loudly which makes me stop and casually ent, "I'm hungry again... That means that 5 hours passed since my st meal whi turn means that it is around midday..."

  Shortly after saying that, I started to look around and think, 'Time to once again hunt for something to eat... I hope I'm able to find another bck bear or at least two deers, those are the only animals I found that have enough meat to easily fill my Saiyan's stomach. After all, I don't want to already use the emergency food supplies that I stored in the dozens of capsules that I safely put into my Soulbouory yet... It is better to hold on to them for as long as possible, after all, if there is something that is on for all the Zombie Apocalypse stories I have heard of is that food quickly bees very scarce.'

  At this point, I let out a sigh and tio let my mind wander as I searched for prey, 'Luckily, I have more than enough food for someoh a Saiyan appetite to st for about a year or so. Which means that I have enough food to feed a small unity for six months or so if I ration it well... Damn, now that I think about it we Saiyan really eat a LOT!'

  Of course, the Capsules full of food aren't the only things I have stored in my Soulbouory, together with them there are also a fesule Houses that Bulma gifted me when I asked her for some, and some others that tain useful and important objects like Electric Rice Cooker and other portable cooking devices, a Closet with my spare clothes, a couple of empty Caps. A big fridge to store any other excess food I could find, a Capsule taining a portable Gravity Room for my daily training, a couple more useful Capsules, and many more empty Capsules that I use to store any useful or precious object I may find iure.

  Then there are also a couple of other useful things that would surely help in my current situation, but at the moment, I think it is wiser to y low and gather some more information before I take them out to make my life easier.

  Not seeing any prey in my immediate surroundings, I y eyes and foy other seo try to pick up the sounds of some nearby prey to hunt down.

  At the same time, I 't help myself from internally pining once again, 'Geez! I hought I would miss the presence of Ki so mu my life! Not only I 't use my Ki Sense which makes me feel almost blind as I have to rely on my other natural and way more limited senses. But I 't even do things that I thought as natural and easy like flying or starting a fire with a simple trolled Ki Beam.'

  Shortly after thinking that, I pick up a weak shuffling sound in the distance, and without aation, I start to carefully move toward it while thinking, 'Please not another zombie. Please not another zombie. Please not another zombie.'

  In these seven days, I was wandering this very big forest, I have almost entered way more zombies than actual animals.

  Luckily these zombies are way too weak to eveely be a threat to me as I easily get rid of them by using the shockwaves produced by a simple punch before they eve close to me.

  Of course, even if they get close, I doubt that their teeth are strong enough to pierce through my skin so even if they are able to bite me for some improbable reason, they still won't be able to harm me.

  Another w detail is that until now, I haven't been able to enter any living perso but that may be because I'm still in this very vast forest that is apparently in the middle of nowhere as I still haven't seen any nearby town, city, or vilge when I climb up on top of a tree to sy surroundings from time to time, in fact, the only thing that I saw is only more forest.

  Of course, that doesn't mean that I'm actually trapped in this forest as I could easily find more information about my surroundings by jumping very high, but I refrain from doing that for two reasons.

  The first one is that I'm not in a hurry to find any kind of "civilizatio as it is very likely that they are of the less savory kind than actually good people, especially if I'm in some kind of universe where it is inspired by some of the many games around the genre, which would imply that most of the people still alive are likely some kind of raiders armed with all kinds of ons.

  The sed and most important one is that I still don't know what the other Champion who arrived at this universe at my same time is capable of, for all I know he could be someoh very advaeology to the point that he or she has already the whole p under surveilnce by using some kind of satellites that he somehow unched in the sky and that will notify him or her of any unusual activity.

  That is the reason why I decided to y low and calmly wahese woods that fun as a good cover from very possible unwatention while using as little of my superhuman physique as possible.

  On top of that, if the Champion iion is a ruthless or even evil person, it is likely that he or she won't hesitate to attack me with an orbital strike or a hout g about the sequences just to get rid of me.

  That kind of attack isn't something that I survive at the moment as I only make use of my Saiyan physical body and the powers that my Blessing granted me, which still be used even if this universe doesn't allow the existence of supernatural powers which also implies that the other Champion also use the powers of his or her Blessing ahing to be wary of especially if his or her Blessing level is at a higher than mine.

  Talking about the Blessing that the cept of Void gave me, I have to admit that I am quite happy with it as I was very lucky because it potentially be very OP.

  At the first level, the Blessing gave me the ability to survive in the Void, and I'm not talking about only the void of the space, but the true Void the thing where nothing exist and everything is ed.

  It also gave me a very high affinity with everythied to the void, may that be teiques, magic, creatures, and so on, which is quite the advantage, especially if one remembers what kind of nightmarish horrors actually live in the void.

  Meanwhile, at the sed level, my Blessing granted me a very weak form of Nothingness Manipution.

  From what the cept of Void expio me, Nothingness Manipution allows the user to create, shape, and manipute nothingness, the absence of entities or substance, with this the user remove energy and matter from existence, by simply making things disappear, preventing energy from ever being ceived or via varied other means.

  At higher levels, the user trol the essence of oblivion, allowing him or her to delete ay, remove targets from all timelines in every dimension, alter, reverse, ate energy, etbsp;

  This could also lead to an ultimate goal of "destroying matter and energy" as in bringing it out of existe is far superior to Destru and Erasure, which merely cel/remove targets from existehis power allows me to trol the very nature of nothingness, allowing the user to break any attad defense sinything that es into tact with it disappears irremediably without leaving any trace behind especially when it's the user's own void.

  Of course, all of that is iure when my Blessing level gets higher, at the current level it only allows me to at most create a small, weak region of space that is devoid of any matter and energy, but this isn't as OP as it sounds as the region of space created still be overwhelmed and broken by a high tration of energy or force outside of it which means I 't use it as an ultimate form of defense, as my father's Kamehameha painfully taught me.

  Soon, I arrived at the area where the sounds I picked up were ing from, it was a small gde, a grassy meadow uhe opy of the surrounding trees, and in the middle of this gde was luckily not a zombie but an animal but unfortunately it isher a deer or a bear like I hoped.

  Instead, the animal was a medium-sized coyote who still didn't notice my presence as it was too focused on ripping ks of meat from the carcass of a cottontail rabbit.

  Seeing that se, I almost let out a sigh while thinking, 'Well, for sure this isn't the animal I wao hunt... I would have preferred entering a deer or a bear as I'm more used to their taste and they have a lot of meat... but well, a coyote is fioo. But before I hunt this o is better to make sure that is a male coyote, or at the very least that it isn't pregnant in case it is a female one as I don't want to harm a pregnant animal.'

  ing to that decision, I sloroach the coyote l my presence as much as possible until I get close enough to it and take a close look at the coyote ahat it is indeed a male.

  Then without aation, I send a quick, precise punch to the neck of the coyote, breaking his neck, well, more precisely his spinal cord to provide the animal with a fast, painless, and easy death. Shortly after that, I bring out a couple of capsules from my Soulbouory which tain all the electrical cooking devieeded and a cooking robot built by Dr. Brief in person whrammed it to be able to do just about anythiely ected to cooking which strangely enough includes cursing like a sailor when someone does something wrong and singing when it is cooking a particurly well-done dish.

  With a puff of smoke, the cooking robot together with the electrical cooking devices appears in the middle of the gde and without wasting any time nor receiving any and, the cooking robot quickly moves toward the body of the dead coyote and quickly drains his body of all the blood before it starts to skin it and butcher it.

  As the cooking robot does its job, I calmly sit on the ground and start to think back about everything I have gohrough in these st few years.

  After the defeat of Majin Buu peace returo earth once more but I khat it wouldn't st too long and that I wasn't anywhere strong enough to face what was i, so I decided to head to the Lookout to ask Dende, Popo, and Piccolo-san to trai only to help me gain trol over my Legendary Super Saiyan state, but also to learn magi them.

  Just like that, the years quickly passed from training almost stantly while a e that I made use of Tien Shinhan's Multi-Form went to school just to keep Mom happy.

  After some time, my brohan and I graduated and Goha on to bee aomologist, and shortly after that, he married Videl.

  Shortly after Gohan and Videl's wedding, I finally pleted my training and was able to get my Legendary Super Saiyan Transformation under trol, and just in time at that as not too long after, the dread purple cat and his -skitendant/master came to Earth searg for the Super Saiyan God and damn that fight was a brutal one even with Beerus going easy on us.

  I wasn't able to keep up with him even with my Legendary Super Saiyan 2 Transformation, he was just that good luckily in the end everything ended well when Father transformed into a Super Saiyan God with our help and it seems that our battle with him earned enough of Beerus' goodwill to make the p fall under his prote, that or Earth's cuisine.

  After that battle, I followed through with my pn and requested Whis' help in training to help me trol my Oozaru Transformation so that I could finally fulfill my ambition to master the coolest Transformation ever created, the Super Saiyan 4.

  Unfortunately, I was forced to cut my training short to take part in this Random Battle but before that happened I already had some modicum of success.

  Suddenly, I hear the crig sound of something stepping on a dried brand breaking it which makes me realize that something is approag my current position.

  Realizing that I do not hesitate to pull the cooking robot bato the Capsule and turn off all the cooking equipment before I prepare to face whatever is approag my impromptu camp.

  I don't have to wait for long before I see three figures slowly walking toward this gde, but I immediately realize that two of those figures are actually zombies as they are clearly missing their arms and lower jaws and more importantly they have a colr around their ied to a that is held by the figure walking in front of them.

  The figure is clearly that of a woman who is armed with a katana on her free arm as she stops iig my presenbsp;

  I 't see her face as it is covered by a dark green hood but despite that, I still find this womanly figure somewhat familiar like I have seen something like this before.

  After looking at it for a few more seds, a memory of a show I watched in my previous life suddenly appeared in my mind and I immediately realized where I was, 'Oh my Zeno! I'm in the freaking The Walking Dead Universe, ain't I!?'

  Odyin
