Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 504: Chapter 90 Game (additional updates with 300 monthly votes!)_1

Outside, nine duplicants of Qin Tian, twenty-two duplicants of Arthur, and twenty-seven bizarre-shaped Demon Fiends furiously charged toward the defensive line of Red Stone Hotel.

Meanwhile, within the Secondary Space, a mirror not far from Wen Yu faithfully broadcast the battle situation in the ”outside world.” The broadcast depicted a surprisingly peaceful exchange: both sides engaged cautiously, the Demon Tribe refrained from deploying powerful Demon Fiends, and casualties among the Human Race and mutant beasts were minimal.

The ”live broadcast” was crystal clear, vividly showing even the facial expressions of those involved. Consequently, Wen Yu didn’t initially doubt its authenticity.

After a quick glance, Wen Yu shifted his gaze to another object emitting a black light.

It was a black object shaped very much like a heart.

Seeing this, Wen Yu’s eyes lit up.

Undoubtedly, judging by its shape, this has to be the central control core of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

He quickly approached the central control core and examined the black heart before him.

Only when he got closer did Wen Yu feel the tremendous energy contained within the black heart.

All the life force extracted by the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier from deceased beings was converted into energy and entirely absorbed by this black heart. Mara then manipulated and controlled the energy output.

The pipelines surrounding the black heart served as channels for this energy output.

The operating mechanism was straightforward, yet its power was extraordinary!

Without Mara’s control, a large amount of energy had accumulated within the black heart. Influenced by an unknown force, the heart automatically stored this energy. Only when its storage capacity was reached would it convert any excess into defensive power for the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

It took Wen Yu only a few seconds, upon sensing the energy flow, to understand the entire mechanism of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier.

However, another choice lay before Wen Yu...

How to deal with this black heart.

Within a short time, Wen Yu had conceived two methods.

The first was to use immense power to shatter the black heart instantly.

Although the black heart possessed good defense, it couldn’t withstand a full-powered blow from Wen Yu.

But this approach had a downside...

The moment the black heart shattered, the energy contained within would explode instantaneously. Considering the current energy levels, Wen Yu wouldn’t die from such an explosion, but he would definitely be injured. Furthermore, everything in the vicinity of the Secondary Space would be obliterated—the blast’s power would rival that of a small nuclear warhead!

As for the second method...

A verdant green vine slowly emerged from Wen Yu’s palm and attached itself directly to the black heart. The next second, the Almighty Demon Vine opened its massive maw and bit down hard on the black heart.

A vast amount of energy was continuously transmitted into Wen Yu’s body through the Almighty Demon Vine, enhancing the limits of his physical constitution.

This was Wen Yu’s second method: directly seizing the black heart’s energy via the Almighty Demon Vine. This approach would diminish the black heart’s energy while simultaneously strengthening his own body—a true win-win situation!

Besides, the battle situation outside didn’t seem urgent...

Wen Yu let out a comfortable sigh, enjoying the pleasure brought by his increasing power while turning to look at the ”television set.”

Outside, the war was progressing ”peacefully.”

Thus, at this moment, Wen Yu found himself wishing the black heart contained even more energy!

「Outside.」

Mara looked in the direction of the Secondary Space, waiting calmly and relaxed...

When Wen Yu had been inside the Secondary Space for three minutes without any sign of activity, the corners of Mara’s mouth curled into a satisfied smile.

Interesting indeed, he really fell for it. It seems these beings called humans also possess greed, desires, joys, and sorrows...

As the Ancient Demon who controlled the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, Mara naturally knew Wen Yu possessed an item capable of absorbing energy.

Excitement flared in Mara’s eyes, the gleam growing brighter and brighter before she forcibly suppressed it.

I wonder, when you come out and realize the entire battle situation has completely collapsed, what kind of expression will you wear...

Ah...

This is truly an interesting show; it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy...

So, it’s about time to choose the protagonist for the next game...

As Mara mused on this, the image of another individual surfaced in her mind.

It was an Asian man holding a bone sword, his face cold and resolute, with a woman standing beside him...

At this thought, Mara’s entire body trembled with excitement!

Familial bonds, or romantic love... Tsk, tsk, tsk... to manipulate a creature’s emotions through such tangled choices... this truly is the most exhilarating game...

Thinking this, Mara could no longer control her elation and burst into loud laughter.

The powerful sound waves instantly disintegrated the surrounding Low-grade demonic creatures. Yet Mara didn’t stop, laughing until tears streamed down her face and her throat grew hoarse.

An irrepressible look of excitement and thrill on her face, Mara took out a communicator and quickly connected to the War Operations Command Center.

”This is Mara. The deployment of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier is complete. It will deactivate in approximately ten minutes.”

”Command Center, confirmed.”

”Also, I request independent combat!”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communicator.

”Mara, you need to understand, the Command Center needs you...”

”But I don’t need you... Let’s do this: give me one year, and I will bring you the head of Sequence Number 2. Consider this the price for independent combat, and also a military pledge. How about it?”

”That won’t be necessary. We have already laid an inescapable net outside. When the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier dissipates, it will be the end for Sequence Number 2...”

Before the voice on the other side could finish, Mara immediately interrupted.

”Let’s make a bet then. I’ll bet your so-called inescapable net won’t be able to stop Sequence Number 2. If you win, I will follow the Command Center’s operational arrangements. But if you lose...”

”Alright.”

”Then it’s settled!”

With that, Mara hung up the communicator, a slightly sarcastic smirk curling the corner of her mouth.

They recruited a few demon spawns and now act so fearless... What idiots! These fools don’t understand that, compared to strength, brains are the truly valuable asset!

Having said that, Mara leaned leisurely against the barrier of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, waiting for it to shatter and disappear.

The overall plan was complete, and the game had begun. There were only two reasons for Mara to remain here: first, to witness the expression on Sequence Number 2’s face when he realized he’d been duped.

And secondly...

The male lead, the female lead, and the primary male supporting character for the next act... They absolutely cannot die here!

Thinking of this, Mara, through the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, used some unknown means to transmit a series of complex instructions into the minds of a large number of duplicants.
