Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

The sound waves from Tang Haofei’s mouth ruffled Wen Yu’s Heaven-covering Robe, making it flutter, and the mouth carried a dense scent of blood, causing Wen Yu to feel dizzy.

It wasn’t from being overwhelmed by the smell, just the explosion of the massive sound waves.

Looking at the Tang Haofei in front of him, whose eyes were gradually turning red, Wen Yu fell silent—under the state of Soul Perception, he could no longer detect Tang Haofei’s current physical condition. Wen Yu didn’t know how many times Tang Haofei had died in the treasure land. However, there was one thing Wen Yu knew; with his current strength, he could indeed contend with Tang Haofei before he died. But after Tang Haofei died twice, he could only run away, and dying three times, even fleeing became a luxury, and dying more than five times...

To himself, Tang Haofei would become a complete grim reaper!

The pressure on his wrist was growing stronger, distorting out of shape, as Tang Haofei’s scarlet eyes were fixed on Wen Yu, and he spoke again.

”Tell me, why...”

It was like the calm before the storm, this time Tang Haofei’s voice wasn’t loud.

”It’s a promise.”

Wen Yu replied.

”To whom? Lin Haifeng? Or the original owner of this body?”

”The original Tang Haofei.”

”He may not necessarily be better than me.”

”Of course, I know he may not be better than you, but in my eyes, he is my friend. Although there may be some small conflicts between us, I actually value the original Tang Haofei very much.”

The force on the wrist loosened a bit.

Wen Yu continued, ”You may also have scenes of us together in your memory. He and I are different from others. Originally, we only had a cooperative relationship, but as I got to know Tang Haofei better, I felt more and more that he was a really good person. He was persistent, resilient, and most importantly, he had ideals, and he was willing to give everything for them. He regarded this planet as more important than himself. This world needs people like that.”

The Tang Haofei before him was silent for a while, then softly said, ”I can too...”

”No, you can’t!”

With his wrist still tightly gripped by Tang Haofei, Wen Yu took two gentle steps forward, almost forehead to forehead, staring into Tang Haofei’s red eyes.

”Do you know why I chose to help him and not you?”

Tang Haofei shook his head in confusion.

”Because people like you, I’m all too familiar with. Want to be a god? So do I! Everyone does! Except for the old Tang Haofei. But do you know why you want to be a god?”

”It’s just desire...”

”Do you know what I thought about the moment I found out I was reborn?”

”First, stay alive. Second, today has finally come for me! Right? I’ve run into the treatment that main characters in novels get! So I dreamed of being a supreme being, becoming a deity that dominates everything. In reality, I’ve already achieved it. As long as I want to, I can be just like you, establish my own base, have my own harem, occupy a continent, and become the human god of this land. Right?”

”Does it feel good being a god in Yanjing? Does it feel good playing with women? It must feel great, the feeling of ruling everything, where even the most powerful people in the world don’t dare to speak loudly in front of you.”

”But, if one day, when some great disaster and catastrophe occur, will you remember your identity as a god? Will you assume the responsibility of being a god?”

Tang Haofei paused for a moment and nodded solemnly.

”I will! I definitely will!”

”No, you won’t!”

”I will! Just like this time!”

”No, you won’t, I’m not talking about this time, but the next time, or perhaps the time after that. I’m talking about when destruction arrives when you face a problem even your strength can’t solve!”

”I will!”

”Hmph...”

Wen Yu sneered and said, ”I told you, you won’t! Because essentially, you and I are the same. To bring it back, why do you want to be a god? Isn’t it just for your pleasure? How are you different from me? Do you know why I insist you won’t? Because I won’t either!”

”We are truly the same kind of people, the kind who only care about ourselves and disregard others, the cold-blooded creatures who live with an ’I survive, who cares if others die’ mentality.”

Tang Haofei fell silent.

”There’s nothing wrong with that.”

”Yeah, for us, there’s nothing wrong with it. Sacrificing for others and striving to save the world, I neither want to nor will I do it, but there is one person who is not like this.”

”I guess when danger comes, that person will step forward first, even in a crisis that human power can’t avert, he would die laughing before everyone else. His name is Tang Haofei.”

”Not controlled by desire, not disturbed by external things, not bullying the weak with superior strength, not arrogant with invincibility, that is the Tang Haofei I know, the one I promised and acted for.”

”These, I bet you can’t do, right? So, you’re not Tang Haofei, you’re just a counterfeit!”

”Fake! Do you understand?”

”This world doesn’t need people like you, or me, but people like Tang Haofei, the real Tang Haofei. Don’t you even realize what you’ve done since you were born? Split the military? Build your own force? Messed around with a lot of women? Turned Yanjing into a complete mess! Besides that, what else? You’ve done nothing useful! At least I’ve chased the Demon Tribe out of Africa, and you? Think about it, now you’re just like I used to be, only capable of making a mess of things.”

”We are not the world’s saviors, we are not the Protector God of this world! We are just this world’s trouble! This world’s cancer!”

Wen Yu finished speaking, pausing lightly.

”For this world, having just one trouble like me is enough...”

Soul...

”Bang~~”

A fist that struck like light hit the mark, instantaneously causing flesh and blood to splatter, and Wen Yu’s headless corpse wobbled before collapsing to the ground.

The Soul Battlefield about to be activated did not elude Tang Haofei’s perception. When the skill had just started, Tang Haofei had already acted, delivering a lethal strike!

The difference in strength was so great that, in such close proximity, Wen Yu had no time to react to Tang Haofei’s attack!

Retreating his right fist calmly, Tang Haofei looked at the headless corpse lying on the ground, expressionless.

”I admit, everything you said is true...”

”But what does it matter? What’s important is that I’m stronger than you, I’m stronger than the original Tang Haofei, I’m stronger than everyone!”

”Strong! Stronger! The strongest!”

”Thus, I am the god!”

”Now...”

Tang Haofei gazed into the distance.

”Let me go to Yanjing to take back what I deserve! And by the way, kill a certain old dog who doesn’t know what’s good for him...”
