Chapter 37: The Temptation of the New World
Madara and Izuna stared at Su Xiuyu in confusion.
"What do you mean by genetic defect?" Madara asked, his brows furrowed.
At this point in time, Madara had yet to delve into the study of human genetics, so the term was unfamiliar to him. He struggled to grasp its meaning.
Su Xiuyu patiently explained, "It's different from blood-inherited diseases like the Shikotsumyaku. When someone awakens the Shikotsumyaku, they become extremely prone to developing blood-related illnesses."
Madara's eyes narrowed.
"You know about the blood disease linked to the Shikotsumyaku?" he asked sharply. "Xiuyu, I'm starting to seriously suspect you're hiding far too many secrets."
It was rare for Madara to probe into Su Xiuyu's affairs. Usually, he respected his friend's privacy. But today, Su Xiuyu had revealed one shocking truth after another. Even someone as knowledgeable and cunning as Madara felt overwhelmed.
Su Xiuyu internally sighed, realizing he had probably revealed too much from his God's perspective. Still, the real secrets remained buried—these were merely surface-level revelations.
He chuckled lightly.
"I just know a little more than you," he said casually.
Madara snorted in disbelief, his eyes narrowing with mock disdain.
