Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Lend me a hand!”

As soon as the thought formed, a tremendous force surged through his body!

This power was overwhelming, vast and limitless; in just an instant, the golden light restraining the demigod shattered into dust.

And this was just the beginning; breaking the restraint was merely a side effect of this immense power...

The power surged wave after wave from his heart, unending. At the moment of its emergence, the demigod felt everything around him slow down—space and time seemed to freeze completely; even Lin Haifeng and Fran’s indifferent expressions were suspended.

It was like bullet time, but much stronger...

The demigod stood still, contemplating briefly, while Lin Haifeng voiced his surprise.

”You...”

The word ”you” stretched beyond recognition, possibly taking over ten seconds to utter in the demigod’s time stream, prompting a fleeting mix of confusion and anticipation in the demigod’s eyes.

”So this is what power really is...”

In the next moment, the demigod chuckled lightly and then extended his hands.

...

He gently placed his hands on Lin Haifeng and Fran’s shoulders, and in the next second, the Netherworld opened once more!

However, this time it was different! The Mysterious Power mingled within the Netherworld, and its teleportation force instantly crushed the surrounding restraints. The two forces clashed, and in a blink, all the methods Lin Haifeng set up in the Supreme Commander’s room were nullified!

A massive storm erupted from the command room, penetrating walls, shattering the roof, transforming the room into a gigantic bomb in an instant.

Accompanied by a loud ”boom,” cement, tiles, and steel fragments sprayed everywhere; under the conflict between the Netherworld and the restraints, the command room was obliterated.

”Buzz~~~”

This time, the teleportation force of the Netherworld faced no obstacles! It enveloped the demigod, Lin Haifeng, and Fran, allowing multiple shifts in position over a short time. As Lin Haifeng was teleported, the Yanjing Assembly Site’s defense system activated, with runes and energy waves surging toward the demigod, yet they appeared powerless against him...

To the demigod, once the command room was breached, the external defense system was mere decoration!

Thus, after the tenth teleportation, the demigod, along with Lin Haifeng and Fran, had exited the Yanjing Assembly Site. By the thirty-eighth teleportation, they were already at the Bohai shore.

The entire process took less than a second.

To the uninformed observer, it seemed as if the command room exploded with a ”boom,” and the demigod, Lin Haifeng, and Fran vanished without a trace.

...

”Ugh...”

As soon as they reached the shore, the demigod’s body weakened, spitting fresh blood, which was blocked by his mask, instantly covering his face with blood—a picture of utmost disgrace...

Meanwhile, the borrowed power within his body slowly calmed and eventually dissipated into the world, merging with it entirely.

Despite the hardship, the first step was finally completed...

”Origin Energy? How could it be Origin Energy?”

Lin Haifeng cried out in shock, clearly baffled by his son’s betrayal and the sudden appearance of Origin Energy—the demigod possessed Origin Energy, and it seemed borrowed...

The implications here were enormous!

While Lin Haifeng was disoriented, Fran beside him did not dwell on the situation. The elderly man with flying silver hair swung his cane toward the demigod’s head!

He did not need to ponder how things had changed; he only needed to know the demigod was now an enemy, and that was enough...

Moreover, Fran’s own strength...

He was Sequence Number 6 of the Human Race!

The cane swung swiftly, with a whistling sound explosion, aiming at the demigod. As Origin Energy dissipated from the demigod’s body, he felt hollowed out, weakened; though he could see the oncoming attack, it was difficult to evade.

The demigod made a feeble attempt to dodge, trying his best to evade the attack, but was unexpectedly pressed by an unknown power.

Time halted; Fran’s Power of Time had been activated.

In the next second, with a ”bang,” the demigod was hit squarely, the tremendous power shattering his mask, and the cane pierced through his skull from behind.

”Your son?”

Gazing at the demigod pierced by the cane, mask shattered, revealing his face, Fran coldly inquired—whose son he was mattered little now. As an enemy, there was no mercy, and he believed Lin Haifeng shared this view!

Indeed, Lin Haifeng did not directly answer Fran’s question but rather stood up and gave the demigod a kick!

”He’s not dead; the demigod has no vital points!”

Before the words finished, the demigod’s figure vanished...

The Netherworld activated again; a brief period allowed the demigod to gather the energy to trigger it.

...

”Cough cough cough...”

Half-kneeling by the shore, the demigod coughed violently, drops of fresh blood dripped from his mouth, looking utterly pitiful.

Fran and Lin Haifeng stood not far ahead, not launching another attack at the demigod; the two elderly men merely watched him grimly... as the waves gradually rose behind him!

”The Sea Clan then... in other words, the former Sea King control plan failed, didn’t it?”

Fran’s tone was calm, as if unsurprised—surprise was useless in such circumstances now.

”It probably failed, but who would’ve thought this Sea King hid for so long.”

Lin Haifeng squinted, eyeing the blue head gradually emerging from Bohai Bay, and after a while, sneered.

”By this account, the insectoid enemy Skyray probably came too; I underestimated my son!”

The words ”my son” were uttered through gritted teeth by Lin Haifeng. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and promptly pulled a communicator from his waist, dialing Wen Yu.

The demigod had planned for a long time. Though Lin Haifeng could not understand the demigod’s purpose quickly, contacting Wen Yu never went amiss when trouble occurred.

However, a busy signal kept sounding; Wen Yu never answered...

”Signal jammed, or Wen Yu was caught up in something, likely both.”

Lin Haifeng quickly deduced, immediately dialing Fang Bai’s communicator, followed by another busy signal.

”Alright, signal jammed. Old pal, this time, it’s all up to the two of us.”

Fran shrugged, then turned around, positioning himself behind Lin Haifeng, as they watched a haze dragon rise abruptly in the distance. In no time, a gigantic insect creature, emerald, seemingly a hybrid of spider and mantis, appeared before Fran.

King of the Insect Tribe, Skyray...
