Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

The Tier of Evil Thought is only Golden Lower Tier, at least ten levels apart, yet it can still crush its opponent.

It must be said, a taboo truly lives up to its name.

Sprinting all the way, the surrounding buildings became increasingly desolate, with no signs of human habitation in the abandoned structures.

This is actually the Nightmare World’s self-completion mechanism; the formation of a Nightmare World is very difficult, and it should ideally replicate everything from that era.

Unfortunately, the Nightmare World cannot replicate [Evil Secret·Black Death], but it appeared due to some remnants of the Ancient God Sessis and the Evil Secret Black Death.

Racing further on, a dark mass could be seen not far ahead.

Pu Sheng, whose feet were pulled off the ground, couldn’t help but point a finger at the dark shadow: ”Mr. Baiyi, it’s him, it’s him! Charles!”

The Master of Calamity was forced to accept a major task from the Divine Showcase, which made the Master of Calamity very angry, directly severing the connection with him, the Divine Favored.

The Master of Calamity believed he had collaborated with other Ancient Gods to trick it, making his future growth exceedingly difficult.

Because his own Rules had been transformed into Calamity, and for one spurned by God, finding a new path was almost impossible.

In the coming decades, he must first appease his God and find a new path; otherwise, when the God’s power can descend more, his position as the God’s Spokesman will surely be replaced, or even killed.

All of this was brought about by Charles, and now he wants nothing else but for Charles to pay the same price as him.

The darkness seemed to sense something too, an indistinct curse was heard, and it flew upwards into the sky.

Mr. Baiyi halted and set Pu Sheng on the ground, raised his hand, and several Worker Bees flew out, forming a long Barrett in his hand.

It had been a long time since he used this thing, but its attack power could still threaten the Golden Upper Tier, and its impact on the Middle Tier would be greater.

Buzz~

As the aura of Evil Thought gradually attached to the Barrett in Mr. Baiyi’s hand, an even more terrifying killing intent emerged.

In recent days of studying Evil Thought, Mr. Baiyi discovered many things, such as the power of Evil Thought being of very high quality, with each thread of Evil Thought Power containing a lot of malice.

Once this malice invades someone else’s body, it will pollute the power within their body and erode their mind.

This was also the reason why Pu Sheng decisively surrendered after two collisions with Mr. Baiyi.

If he continued to fight, he might cause some injuries to Mr. Baiyi, but he would certainly die.

The darkness in the sky suddenly stopped, revealing a head amidst the darkness as it looked down towards Mr. Baiyi who was currently aiming.

Charles grinned awkwardly: ”Mr. Baiyi, hey, how about we cooperate once more? The three of us together, we can definitely take down that God, what do you say?”

Mr. Baiyi smiled: ”Come down.”

Charles quickly waved his hand: ”No, no, it doesn’t make sense for us to fight, how about we fight the Ancient Gods together? We can sign a contract, I’ll come down once we sign it.”

”Mr. Baiyi, you can’t listen to him, those who sign contracts with him never have a good ending.” Pu Sheng said quickly, glaring angrily at Charles in the sky.

Charles’s expression changed, also glaring angrily at Pu Sheng: ”Who says that? Mr. Baiyi and I have signed a contract before; that mask bit down hard on my shoulder. Don’t slander me!”

Pu Sheng: ...

He thought of the terrifying object that was pulled from his flesh moments ago, and his gaze towards Charles was not just filled with resentment, but a hint of admiration. To endure such a thing, he must be truly strong.

Mr. Baiyi wanted to hunt down these two guys first to avoid backstabbing; if he exhausted all his trump cards in a deadly fight with the Ancient God, these two would become very dangerous.

Now, seeing them kneeling together in such harmony was unforeseen, but as long as the effect was the same, he didn’t mind having two more helpers.

He raised his hand, a single-layered scarlet contract appeared, and Mr. Baiyi held the Barrett in one hand while extending a fairly fair contract.

”I still need the mask, sign this contract, and if you act like last time...”

Charles quickly reviewed the contract’s content; it was roughly about him having to give his all during the conflict with the Ancient Gods this time, with no allowance for mutual backstabbing.

A simple contract, Mr. Baiyi did not place himself as a superior, and seeing as Pu Sheng almost died earlier, Pu Sheng had no other choice,

and now he hadn’t yet clashed with Charles. Mr. Baiyi could feel Charles was much stronger than Pu Sheng, and he didn’t quite want to fight him first, nor did he want to waste the Golden Level Barrett’s bullets.

If they could peacefully go into battle together, that would be best; if not, he would need to remove the threat of Charles first at some cost.

Charles was somewhat surprised, looking at Mr. Baiyi with more solemnity: ”This contract is very fair, well then, Mr. Baiyi, looking forward to our cooperation.”

As the contract vanished from Charles’s hand, the tense atmosphere in the scene suddenly relaxed.

Pu Sheng was somewhat resentful, muttering softly: ”This is unfair...”

But no one paid him any mind, as Charles descended and saw the Barrett transform into the form of Worker Bees, he sighed: ”Alchemists really are convenient.”

Mr. Baiyi looked up, his tone calm: ”Judging by your movements just now, is the Ancient God up there?”

Charles nodded: ”That’s right, Sessis clashed with the Evil Secret over Xiya Continent’s skies back then, and the Nightmare World replicated this detail, but going in is more dangerous than bringing it out, after all, it is the Divine Domain.”

He spoke while looking towards Pu Sheng, clicking his tongue: ”I told you your method wouldn’t work, didn’t I?”

Pu Sheng was about to explode, just about to start ranting, but felt Mr. Baiyi’s chilly gaze, and he immediately fell silent, glowering at Charles gloomily, his head lowered, not uttering a word.

”How do we bring it out?” Mr. Baiyi asked.

”It’s simple.” Charles said, as a unique aura rose into the air, striking a white cloud in the sky.

Thump~

The dull sound was like thunder in a clear sky, another extremely weak Ancient God aura appeared, as if a severely wounded Ancient God suddenly appeared in that cloud.

Soon, scarlet gradually spread across the entire sky, and in the city of this Upper Space, that rotten aura grew heavier.

Mr. Baiyi even felt an extreme sense of distortion, attempting to twist his body, but it was ultimately blocked by Evil Thought.

Mr. Baiyi, Pu Sheng, and Charles simultaneously vanished, then reappeared, all in sync.

The three exchanged glances, an unspeakable silence.

”Charles should go in front, I’m an Alchemist, it’s not suitable.” Mr. Baiyi said decisively.

Pu Sheng quickly chimed in: ”Right, Charles is the strongest, he should be in front, the Dark Monarch gave you quite a few good things, right? You haven’t used them all yet, have you?”

Charles looked speechless at the two, finally gazing at Mr. Baiyi: ”Either we go together or we each fight for ourselves, we did sign a contract after all.”

Mr. Baiyi remained silent; above in the sky, the scarlet was becoming more terrifying, and a dreadful mutation was causing the city to age rapidly.

Clearly, the real God was about to emerge.

”Together then.” Mr. Baiyi said calmly, noticing something: a new light dot had appeared on the seemingly insignificant panel.

Inspect.

[Special event triggered: Face-off with Ancient God.

Scan panel upgraded.]

[Scan, able to view items up to one Great Realm higher than yourself, can scan Personal Attributes, and based on the comparison between your Charm Attribute and the opponent’s Charm Attribute, view the opponent’s panel.]

Mr. Baiyi’s brief excitement quickly vanished, feeling somewhat speechless — of all attributes, why Charm?

How does one account for negative Charm?

Facing strong foes, he would surely enter the Dark Side state directly, would he lose outright?

In the sky, the scarlet gradually thickened, covering the entire sky like blood. Mr. Baiyi glanced at Charles, decisively activating the scan.

While there was still a little time, he wanted to first see the determination of the Charm Attribute.
