Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Facing the immense pressure from Luo Hai, Wen Yu’s current state was beyond what mere bitterness could describe.

Using the Netherworld to continuously teleport and widen the distance from Luo Hai was merely a tactic akin to drinking poison to quench thirst—a temporary fix with dire consequences. The physical exertion of Netherworld teleportation compared to the energy Luo Hai consumed in his foot pursuit—the disparity was clear at a glance!

Furthermore, Luo Hai had already entered combat mode and showed no desire for pointless exchanges with Wen Yu. Under Luo Hai’s rapid attacks, Wen Yu didn’t even have time to open his space ring to take medicine!

The battle had just begun, and Wen Yu’s situation was already rapidly descending into the abyss, but solutions were not entirely out of reach.

The light of the Netherworld flashed, and Wen Yu quickly teleported to another location. Watching Luo Hai from afar, he saw him instantly cross the battle area of Ah Gui, the child, Tang Haofei, and Zang, swiftly arriving in front of him. Wen Yu had no time to react; another teleportation was needed!

Two teleportations bought a negligible amount of time. It wasn’t long, but it was enough for Wen Yu to take a cursory look at the battlefield situation.

And Wen Yu’s chance at survival, his path to victory, was hidden within this very battlefield!

...

”Hah!”

The baby-like voice, yet it carried an awe-inspiring power.

The ferocious sound wave attack sent Ah Gui staggering. The short duel with the child had already caused Ah Gui considerable suffering; even his body had sustained minor injuries.

The true strength of Luo Hai’s squad was actually weaker than Wu Long’s squad. Eight people were weaker than four, indicating a massive gap in individual strength!

This wasn’t just because Wu Long was a fighting powerhouse; every member of Wu Long’s squad possessed strength that allowed them to look down upon professionists of the same rank.

Even though Ah Gui knew before the fight that he couldn’t beat the child, his innate pride and confidence in his own strength made him believe he could withstand the child’s assault—that even if he couldn’t win, tying the child down shouldn’t be a problem...

But that was precisely the problem—it was certain Ah Gui couldn’t win, and he hadn’t managed to tie the child down either! I definitely can’t win, and I haven’t even managed to tie the child down!

Watching the small child, about a meter away, swing their tender fists, the roaring wind pressure and suffocating force assaulted him. Ah Gui had no time to react and was directly blasted far away by the child, landing headfirst on the distant ground.

Under the heavy blow, Ah Gui’s body became sluggish, while the child, after throwing the punch, also paused slightly due to the reaction force.

Wen Yu, who had been observing the two, ignored the nearly-upon-him Luo Hai and instantly activated the power of the Netherworld.

WHIZ.

Wen Yu instantaneously switched positions with the child. Luo Hai’s full-force strike landed squarely on the child’s head, driving the child’s body into the earth like a nail.

It was simple logic—since I can’t beat Luo Hai, I’ll switch opponents. Although, based on current strengths, I’m definitely the weakest link on the battlefield, facing the second-weakest opponent is far better than facing Luo Hai!

And the second weakest... was undoubtedly Ah Gui...

...

Swapping places with the child exhausted the last shred of Wen Yu’s energy.

Pale-faced, he collapsed where he stood. Ignoring his surroundings, Wen Yu instantly disengaged from combat mode, directly activated his 4th Soul Realm, and summoned Faceless.

He took out a pile of elixir pills from his space ring and, without even looking, stuffed them all into his mouth. Simultaneously, a small glass bottle appeared in Wen Yu’s palm.

Uncorking the bottle, Wen Yu quickly poured the crimson blood inside onto Faceless’s body.

The dough-like body visibly swelled, and within a few seconds, the Faceless before Wen Yu had transformed into Tang Haofei’s appearance—Perfect Duplication activated.

With a bodyguard by his side again, Wen Yu relaxed slightly. The blood just poured onto Faceless’s body was from Wen Yu’s recent collection. This meant that, on the surface, the current Faceless’s combat power was not far from Tang Haofei’s.

At least, in its current state, Faceless was more than capable of dealing with Ah Gui!

Re-entering combat mode, Wen Yu successively boosted himself with Ultra Mortal Combat, Dragon Blood Amplification, and the power of the Netherworld. Only then did he exhale deeply and look towards Luo Hai’s position.

At that moment, Luo Hai was staring with an ugly expression at his feet, where a tender little hand had burst from the earth to grab his ankle. The tremendous power emanating from the hand left Luo Hai utterly immobilized...

Although Wen Yu’s Netherworld teleportation had enraged the child, the primary target of their squad’s mission was Luo Hai himself, so...

To the child, whether the opponent was Luo Hai or Ah Gui was completely irrelevant!

Anyway, they’re all going to die!

The next second, the ground cracked open, soil and rock flying amidst the billowing dust. A tiny figure soared into the sky, its small hands instantly clamping down on Luo Hai’s head!

The tender, adorable little face, at this moment, became utterly ferocious in Luo Hai’s eyes!

An unknown power instantaneously immobilized Luo Hai. The child before him curled its lips into a savage grin, and a voice like a devil’s whisper sounded in his ear.

”Turn... into... Candy....”

The next second, Luo Hai’s body immediately began to transform!

...

Turn into Candy (Species-specific Esoteric Level - Active Skill): Place both hands on the target’s head and utter the phrase ”Turn into Candy.” Instantaneously depletes all physical strength, turning the opponent into a palm-sized gummy candy, causing instant death! Upon consuming this gummy candy, the user recovers all physical strength and injuries!

Note: After acquiring this skill, the user’s appearance will permanently freeze at eight years old, and no measures can eliminate this negative effect!

Note: Once this skill is activated, it cannot be interrupted by any means, and this skill ignores any level disparity!

Note: This skill overrides the law of cannibalism set by the Dominator!

It was an absolutely terrifying skill that resulted in immediate death. Despite its somewhat comical name, the true terror it presented left anyone who became an enemy of the child unable to laugh—as long as the skill landed, it led to an absolutely fatal outcome.

Although the activation conditions were strict—requiring both hands on the enemy’s head, along with the utterance of a slightly humorous ”activation phrase”—once the skill was successfully released, the lethal effect was self-evident.

At least at this moment, for Luo Hai, who had been struck, a fatal end was already certain!

An unknown power steadily compressed Luo Hai’s body. Under the terrifying mysterious force, Luo Hai let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. His entire body rapidly shrank, while a sweet aroma continuously emanated from him.

Within about three seconds, Luo Hai had transformed into a palm-sized, detailed cartoon version of himself in gummy candy form!

...

The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent.

Four pairs of eyes stared unblinkingly at the child, who stood panting heavily, and at the cartoon gummy candy lying on the ground.

A sense of absurdity and terror permeated everyone’s hearts.

Luo Hai’s strength was not insignificant on this battlefield, yet in an instant of contact, he had turned into a sticky piece of gummy candy...
