Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Would you like to move the Demon Realm’s Gate on Earth’s native lands? A gentle reminder: after relocating the Demon Realm’s Gate, there will be a three-day stabilization period. During these three days, the Demon Realm’s Gate will be forcibly closed. You can freely adjust the mainland bloc’s position and the Demon Realm’s Gate location. After three days, this privilege will be revoked, and the Demon Realm’s Gate will reopen!”

”Confirm!”

Three days’ time is considered a simple preparation period. Before that, the arrangement for Level 1 to Level 6 battle zones must be completely finished—this is the buffer period given by the Dominator for transferring the battlefield.

With the full activation of the tiered battleground’s master’s privileges, Wen Yu’s mind quickly lit up with the entire map of the Ring Star Sector. From this perspective, Wen Yu could precisely locate each Demon Realm’s Gate within a margin of error less than 1 centimeter!

”The first one...”

With a thought from Wen Yu, a certain Demon Realm’s Gate deep beneath the Earth’s oceans suddenly burst into a black light. The light grew weaker and dimmer, and when the light completely disappeared, the Demon Realm’s Gate seemed to shrink and gradually vanish. Simultaneously, as the Demon Realm’s Gate shrank, the soil at a certain location on District 1, Mainland Bloc Number 01 of the tiered battleground, suddenly exploded. Then, a mini Demon Realm’s Gate grew larger with the wind, restoring to its original size in less than a minute.

The relocation is complete.

Compared to relocation, Wen Yu preferred to describe it as an exchange—Wen Yu didn’t understand the specific operational principle, but the scene always gave Wen Yu a strange feeling...

This Demon Realm’s Gate, rather than a Demon Tribe’s method, seemed more like the handiwork of the Dominator—you see, when the Dominator’s program decides it should grow, it grows; when it decides it should shrink, it shrinks; when it wants it to open, it opens; when it wants it to close, it closes. As for the Demon Tribe? They’ve never seemed to move the Demon Realm’s Gate or perform any high-tech operations with it...

To the Demon Tribe, it’s just a gate.

Whose authority is higher is simply obvious!

Wen Yu only thought about this briefly before leaving it behind. Then, as one Demon Realm’s Gate after another was transferred by Wen Yu, the entire process finally ended after 3 hours.

A total of 52,314 Demon Realm’s Gates were relocated, which is the total number of Demon Realm’s Gates on Earth.

Wen Yu released the control panel and then looked at Lin Haifeng: ”Let’s go; now there’s just one last step remaining, activating the teleportation passage to the tiered battleground.”

Once the teleportation passage is established, the rest has nothing to do with Wen Yu anymore.

...

The two returned to the teleportation plaza in front of the main city of the tiered battleground. Wen Yu planned to set the landing spot of all constructed tiered battleground teleportation gates here, not only for easy management but also to bring significant economic effects to the main city’s commercial district.

Returning through the teleportation passage to the Soul Experiment Lab, as soon as they landed, the Mountain Kui carbon copy came up to greet Wen Yu.

”Master, just now the Demon Realm’s Gates on the African Continent collectively disappeared; the Corpse puppet has already been ordered to clear out the remaining Demon Tribe.”

Wen Yu nodded, indicating understanding.

”However, Master...”

Mountain Kui said the next words hesitantly, and until Wen Yu signaled, Mountain Kui then clearly explained.

”The number of Demon Tribe isn’t quite right. A large number of them returned to the Demon Realm through the Demon Realm’s Gate in the past two days. Now, on Earth’s native lands, less than half of the Demon Fiends remain, and their levels are generally quite low.”

After Mountain Kui finished, Wen Yu was slightly stunned, but Lin Haifeng provided an explanation.

”The Sequence Member-Ranking Battle is globally broadcast; the demon-controlled area also has Exchange Stone Pillars. They already know you acquired the tiered battleground, so it’s not surprising they left early.”

This matter Zero and Little White didn’t notify Wen Yu about beforehand, but these were already minor issues. Even if all these Demon Tribe were wiped out, it wouldn’t be significant, and Wen Yu’s focus wasn’t on these problems. Letting Mountain Kui take some Soul Puppets to support the Corpse puppet, Wen Yu went with Lin Haifeng to Yanjing.

The second permanent large-scale teleportation gate is planned to be placed on Yanjing’s territory, and the rest for Wen Yu is just running errands.

...

African Continent, demon-controlled area.

Blood and roars intermingled, fire danced with thunder. When all settled down, only one person stood.

It was a sturdy man nearly 3 meters tall, who was entirely naked without any body hair, nor any gender organs. The man’s features were regular, but upon careful examination, there was always a faint sense of evil.

”Looks like I arrived late.”

A thick voice sounded behind. In the distance, an earth puppet as large as a mountain strode with sturdy legs, making a rumbling sound as it approached. It glanced at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood around the man, couldn’t help but tease.

”Corpse puppet, your way of dealing with enemies...is still as unsightly.”

Indeed, it was very unsightly. The black Demon Blood stained the earth, and from far away, one could smell the stench here. The corpses were completely unformed, just scattered in small pieces on the ground, making even collecting them a daunting task.

”It’s for my own use, no need to present to Master, so being unsightly doesn’t matter.”

In response to Mountain Kui’s teasing, the Corpse puppet said as such. Soon after, blood and flesh tendrils suddenly extended from its body. These tendrils grew longer with the wind, picked up the chunks on the ground, and began assimilation and absorption, clearing the nearby battlefield in no time.

The Corpse puppet merely let out a satisfied belch, then announced the task complete.

”The Demon Tribe on the African Continent has been mostly cleared out. The remaining few scattered ones aren’t a threat, your kin can handle them.”

After the Corpse puppet finished speaking, it turned around to leave, but as if remembering something, it stopped again.

”By the way, Mountain Kui, did Master say which territory he’d allocate to me?”

”He did, in the Level 6 area, the location closest to the Level 6 main battle zone. Yeah, the place where wars are most frequent—it does fit your requirements.”

”That’s good.”

The Corpse puppet simply agreed, then turned to head towards the Star of Africa.

Born for battle, mad for battle, if Wen Yu is a lone wolf among the Human Race, then the Corpse puppet is an anomaly among the Soul Puppets.

The most unruly heart, the most terrifying killing intent, the most surging battle fervor, the most frightening combat power; thus, the name of the strongest Soul Puppet is established!

...

”Boom!”

Accompanied by the sound of tremors, a teleportation gate solidifies and takes shape at a pace visible to the naked eye, Lin Haifeng stands quietly watching this scene, until Lan Bo’s voice is heard beside him.

”Commander, the Seventh professionist collective army is ready, can depart at any time.”

Lin Haifeng merely nods, then, with the sound of wind, the army of over ten thousand Peak Level 6 professionists disappears from his visual range.

”Where have they gone?”

Faced with Wen Yu’s inquiry, Lin Haifeng’s tone is lingering.

”To eradicate Demon Fiends, the last batch on the Asian Continent.”

”Oh? The last batch, huh?”

Wen Yu’s eyes flicker, then suddenly reveal a smile.

”Does this mean your wish is coming true? That grand aspiration of restoring Earth to a bright and clear realm?”

Amused by Wen Yu’s teasing, Lin Haifeng seems to think seriously for a long time before abruptly laughing.

”I guess so, at least after this batch, my ideals should be considered realized from a certain perspective...”

Saying this, Lin Haifeng seems to find some joy, laughing until he’s out of breath, leaving Wen Yu bewildered until the old man looks up again, stifling his laughter.

”Do you hate me?”

The query is abrupt, catching Wen Yu off guard.

”Be honest!”

The old man suddenly puts an arm around Wen Yu’s shoulder, and Wen Yu, without struggle, thoughtfully considers for a moment, shaking his head afterward.

”I used to, but now it’s all in the past.”

”Hehe~~~”

Lin Haifeng laughs slyly, then asks, ”Do you think you’ve let anyone down along your journey?”

Wen Yu once again reflects, then shakes his head.

”I haven’t, my path has always been clear.”

”Yes, your path has always been clear, and quite carefree.”

”Why are you asking me this?”

”Just feeling sentimental, really...”

Saying this, Lin Haifeng’s face suddenly shows some distortion.

”I’m very proud, truth be told, I’ve contributed greatly to the creation of this era and its spectacle.”

”That’s true.”

Wen Yu never forgets Lin Haifeng’s ”sacrifice,” though this guy often does infuriating things, yet achievements are achievements.

This post-apocalyptic world is united, with little internal strife, its strength not only hasn’t declined but has grown stronger, Lin Haifeng deserves great credit...

”Though I’ve let down many people... I want to ask a favor of you.”

Lin Haifeng changes the topic, looks at Wen Yu, but eventually shakes his head.

”Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything...”

”Really? You’re so earnest, I’d definitely help with small things.”

”No need.”

”Really don’t need?”

Lin Haifeng hesitates for the first time, only to see Wen Yu transforming into Black Light and darting off into the distance.

”Then forget it...”

The voice echoes from afar, causing Lin Haifeng to widen his eyes, eventually, the old man lets out a long sigh, a smile returning to his face.

”That brat... really just let it go...”
