Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”You’re quite bold. Despite your impending doom, you still went all out to reincarnate Wen Yu. Tsk tsk, this Wen Yu must be your final lifeline, isn’t it?”

The Dominator spoke with a mocking tone, but there was a deep conflict in Their eyes.

The situation is not easy for the Dominator to handle either...

Initially, everything was going perfectly. Wen Yu was neither an excess nor a lack in this round. If Tang Haofei was still normal, Wen Yu was a non-issue; just kill him!

But unfortunately, the super cheat given to Tang Haofei—Life and Death Battle Execution—was overused, and the consequences of the power started to spiral out of control.

Originally, the Dominator had been tightly monitoring Tang Haofei’s Life and Death Battle Execution... But remember how the consequence of the power was created?

In the Heavenly Palace...

At that time, the Dominator was trapped by the Demon Lord...

As a result, Tang Haofei died five times in a row, and the consequence of the power exploded directly, leading to the emergence of Tang Two. Understanding the terror of the consequence of power, the Dominator instantly chose to ”let go” of Tang Haofei.

The consequence of power is irreversible and will only worsen! But Wen Yu came out of nowhere and passed His ”memory search,” which made the Dominator overjoyed!

No problem, lose one, still have another! I don’t want Tang Haofei!

Under the influence of the consequence of the power, Tang Haofei is no longer considered the best pawn.

Looking at Wen Yu...

His power surpasses Tang Haofei; this pawn is more perfect than Tang Haofei!

But now, the Demon Lord has admitted that Wen Yu is His pawn...

So, do I use Wen Yu or Tang Haofei?

Deep in the consequence of power, Tang Haofei’s personality is atrocious, disobedient, and it’s impossible to use anything from Earth to threaten him. Moreover, he’s weaker than Wen Yu, and employing him to attack the Demon Lord isn’t as reliable as Wen Yu.

Use Wen Yu? Could the Demon Lord be setting a trap for me within Wen Yu?

This is indeed a conundrum...

Until the Demon Lord spoke.

”So... what will you do?”

Facing the Demon Lord’s counter-question, the Dominator fell silent.

”I will... haha, guess?”

The Dominator was about to say something but suddenly swallowed it back. They simply smiled while staring at the Demon Lord, Their eyes flashing with an enigmatic light.

”Do as you please...”

The Demon Lord said this casually and then fell silent.

...

”In summary, you’re not in much danger, since the Dominator wants to keep you as the Demon Lord’s last hope to avoid a mutual destruction scenario with Themself! They won’t harm you, but might restrict you, and although you won’t die, life won’t be easy...”

”Moreover, all of the above is just my conjecture, and I cannot guarantee the actual situation.”

Lin Haifeng’s reasoning concluded, and everything became clear.

Wen Yu merely sighed and shook his head.

”Putting aside that it’s just speculation, assuming you’re correct, the Dominator won’t kill me, but if They imprison me... that would be quite a mess...”

”So, we need to prepare more.”

”On that note, I actually have some advice for you.”

Wen Yu, hearing this, looked delighted and decisively asked,

”What advice?”

Indeed, being friends with Lin Haifeng makes him genuinely reliable...

”It still revolves around the Dominator’s ultimate goal.”

”The only known reborners in this world— you and Tang Haofei. Based on intelligence, once both of you reach Level 10, you should meet the standards of Heavenly Pride. If, and I stress, if the Dominator truly wants to determine victory over the Demon Lord in this world, They must cherish either of your powers.”

”But the current situation is quite interesting... Originally, Tang Haofei was the best choice—because he cared for humanity. As long as the Dominator threatened him with Earth, there was no reason for Tang Haofei not to obey... but this consequence of power... tsk tsk tsk... The Dominator can only threaten Tang Haofei with his life.”

”Stripping power or directly eliminating.”

”Looking at you... you’ve broken free from the Dominator’s control, They can’t strip your power, which is your disadvantage! But your current identity is an asset, do you understand?”

Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized.

This concerns the ”care for humanity” issue...

The so-called ”care for humanity,” indeed, care for humanity? I, Wen Yu, am the Commander-in-Chief of Yanjing. Whether you believe my care for humanity or not, Wen Yu believes it! Regardless of whether the Dominator believes it, Wen Yu does!

”If the previous assumption holds true, then for the Dominator, the best scenario is both of you stand on Their side, concentrate your powers to eliminate the Demon Lord, and fulfill the Dominator’s purpose. The worst scenario would be to have at least one usable person...”

”In summary, my advice is to strengthen your role in the Dominator’s eyes and weaken Tang Haofei’s role in Their eyes!”

Wen Yu understood instantly...

Wen Yu’s identity cannot change—he is a hybrid of the Demon Tribe and humans.

Initially, Wen Yu thought that breaking free from the Dominator’s control was a tremendous advantage, yet all things indeed have two sides. Now, faced with the threat of the Dominator, this is indeed a weakness.

Because the Dominator can no longer locate Wen Yu and strip his power!

Compared to Wen Yu, Tang Haofei has more advantages...

But this advantage... Wen Yu can disrupt it!

That’s right, Wen Yu is now in a competitive relationship with Tang Haofei in this matter. His advantage has become Wen Yu’s disadvantage, and Wen Yu must pull it back to the same level!

As for how to do it?

All the intelligence inferred by Lin Haifeng is completely unknown to Tang Haofei! And conspiracy is a projection of reality, reality comes from asymmetrical information.

Wen Yu currently holds the intelligence advantage; fooling the Dominator isn’t possible, but messing with Tang Haofei is the simplest thing.

”Actually, killing Tang Haofei is the best choice... But he won’t leave the treasure land, and you can’t get in... Alas...”

The situation is indeed thus, but being unable to kill doesn’t mean one can’t cause trouble; when it comes to causing trouble, Lin Haifeng is the progenitor of the troublemaking realm!

Wen Yu merely gave Fran a knowing look, and Fran immediately understood.

Concerning how to break free from the Dominator’s control, Wen Yu has already informed Fran and Lin Haifeng. As for Level 11 magic crystals, Demon Realm’s Core fragments, and Level 11 treasure land protector magic crystals, Wen Yu has them in reserve...

No doubt about it, these must be delivered to Old Tang, and of course, it must be done discreetly.

Wen Yu remains confident in Fran’s capabilities.

As for the rest... it is even easier to handle.

Wen Yu’s status as the Commander-in-Chief of Yanjing provides tremendous convenience, whereas Tang Haofei, plagued by the consequence of power, falls far behind Wen Yu in this aspect.

This may even erase the rebirth issue!
