[ WP ] With most of the population infected , you are left with two options : pour all your efforts into developing a cure that may not exist or modify the disease to kill off all living host 's , stopping the plague but killing millions .

The man had an ultimatum. He had to play God. 
 
 Good thing he was born of the light. 
 
 `` Where there is a will, there is a way''. The ruler said to himself aloud. Knowing that the fate of the world rests in his hands. 
 
 `` No! We have to modify this disease! It will kill its hosts off and be rendered non-volatile!'' Screamed the scientist in front of his peers trying to rally them. 
 `` If we kill modify the virus to kill the host, sure millions will die, but the virus will cease to spread.'' 
 
 `` I have always hated the mundane and linear minds you scientists permit yourselves to be crunched into. MY WORD IS LAW, and the LAW says that the people must be cured! Not murdered..'' 
 
 `` Bu-'' 
 
 `` LISTEN TO ME YOU GOD-DAMNED FOOLS!'' Screamed the ruler, finally losing his legendary sagacious patience after 10 years of leading. `` If we modify this virus, we can find a way to stop it from spreading, by killing its hosts.. You know what that is? That is genocide. You want us all to commit genocide. You want me to be the next Adolph Hitler. NO. WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS. If we attempt to modify this virus, it could mutate and become even more virile and even more virulent. Then BILLions of people will die. No. We will work with everything we have to cure this. We will let this virus run it's natural course while we simultaneously cure it. Only then can we manage it. We can not manage it by changing the nature of it completely and mutating it! Then it will only adapt exponentially.'' 
 
 `` Cure the disease, find cures for the disease, as many as possible, anything, think outside the box.. But if you make any further notion of committing genocide upon my people, I will bring back capital punishment, Just for you.'' 
 
 The group of scientists looked among themselves and nodded and reached an accord.
