Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Death is a feeling that Tang Two is not unfamiliar with, or rather, he is quite used to it.

Consciousness drifted aimlessly, as if immersed in an endless ocean, surrounded by darkness. Time, space, even everything else, had lost its meaning.

However, ever since acquiring the World of the Heart’s Image, the process of resurrection has changed significantly. With a single thought in the darkness, Tang Two appeared in the World of the Heart’s Image.

With this death, Tang Two sensed that the World of the Heart’s Image seemed to have expanded considerably. He raised his head and saw the dark cocoon imprisoning Tang Four, and Tang One enveloped by the power of the True Words.

”Why? Why do this?”

Tang One was no longer in his previous disheveled state. Now, he was calm-faced, merely asking.

”There’s no why... just feeling it’s a pity...”

Tang Two responded succinctly, ignoring Tang One’s long speech, and quietly waited.

He waited about ten seconds, yet the World of the Heart’s Image remained calm. Seeing this, Tang Two sighed deeply.

Tang N hadn’t appeared, implying that this refresh of the Life and Death Battle Execution was in vain...

Before Tang Two could finish sighing, a sudden noise came from afar!

...

Thunder in the sky began to coalesce, roaring bolts of lightning surged furiously, the thunderous boom shook heaven and earth, and within the surging Thundercloud, a figure gradually solidified!

A face exactly resembling Tang Haofei’s, with scarlet eyes, the newly appeared Tang N stood on the lightning, descending from the sky step by step like a Demigod, landing beside Tang Two!

Despite the grand entrance, the newborn Tang N looked bewildered. He glanced around, opened his mouth, but couldn’t produce any sound.

Like a newborn... he needed to digest all the shared information and knowledge of Tang Haofei, including language abilities.

But Tang Two knew well, the external situation wouldn’t grant him much time.

Thus, he placed one hand on Tang N’s forehead, transmitting streams of information, with the confusion in Tang N’s eyes gradually dissipating.

”Is that so... then I understand...”

Unexpectedly, this Tang N listened to Tang Two very obediently. He swiftly processed the information transmitted by Tang Two, then his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

...

Meanwhile, outside.

The room was filled with blood and severed limbs, the Soul Puppet attendants were caught off guard by the abrupt situation, but they snapped back instantly, conveying all the unfolding information into Mountain Kui’s mind.

Mountain Kui reacted swiftly to the crisis, on one hand gathering all the Soul Puppets in Wen Yu’s mansion to try capturing the Shadow, on the other hand quickly notifying Wen Yu, hoping for his backup!

Both actions were executed alternately; Mountain Kui did not know if Tang Haofei’s death this time would spawn a new Tang Haofei persona, it might, or it might not. If it didn’t, as long as the Soul Puppets in the mansion could capture the Shadow, Tang Haofei would lose external power and revert to his original crippled state, making all crisis vanish into invisibility. But if it did, this situation would be entirely out of Mountain Kui’s control—whether it would or wouldn’t, the matter had to be reported to Wen Yu, letting Wen Yu decide Tang Haofei’s ultimate fate.

Once the information transmission was complete, Wen Yu merely said he understood, then immediately disconnected the mental connection—Mountain Kui didn’t know the distance between Wen Yu’s secluded place and the tiered battleground’s main city, but considering Wen Yu’s pace and the seriousness of the matter, Mountain Kui believed their boss could return to the scene within minutes.

In all this, it was about seizing a time gap!

...

Upon receiving the news, the Soul Puppet attendant rushed to Tang Haofei’s wheelchair at once; previously seated there, Tang Haofei had turned into a heap of rotten flesh, yet that peculiar blackish object still lingered near the wheelchair.

The Soul Puppet attendant was exceedingly frustrated—originally intending to leave Tang Haofei a little private space, a bit of remaining dignity, yet a single oversight resulted in such a great incident. Now, in his anger, the Soul Puppet unleashed a heavy punch, smashing down on the Shadow!

However, the Shadow merely spat out a sarcastic ”child’s play,” and as the shadows on the ground shifted, they swiftly transformed into flying Strangulation Ropes, viciously entwining the Soul Puppet attendant. As the Shadow exerted force, these ropes seemed to turn into indestructible swords, instantly shredding the Soul Puppet attendant into debris!

As one of the main Soul Puppets of the Demigod, how could the Shadow be compared to these mass-produced items?

Yet the crisis wasn’t over, as the Soul Puppet attendant fell to the ground, the room’s roof was abruptly lifted, immediately countless invisible air masses swarmed in, sealing off every retreat of the Shadow. Then, endless wind blades whipped up a storm, recklessly leveling the whole mansion!

Under such circumstances, Mountain Kui was beyond caring about the impact. The urgent need was to swiftly kill the Shadow, sever Tang Haofei’s external aid!

The boundless Energy Wave swept in instantly, in the vast energy surge, the Shadow felt like a fragile candle flame, about to be extinguished by the furious Gale. Although individual strength among the Cloud Puppet Clan couldn’t match the Shadow, the quantity was truly vast. In the transformative effect of quantity change, within merely three seconds, the Shadow would be pinned here by these Cloud Puppets!

However, the sudden gleaming Thunder by the corner of the eye provided great psychological comfort to the Shadow...

Whatever happens to me... isn’t important anymore, the important task is completed, fulfilling the owner’s entrusted mission.

Consciousness began to slow, blur, until a sudden thunderclap rang out, then a large hand gripped the remaining tenth of the Shadow’s body tightly!

”Considering your decent performance, I’ll save your life!”

As the voice rang out, the Shadow felt an immensely powerful pair of hands grasp his body, then there was endless darkness.

...

From the residential area within the tiered battleground’s main city, looking toward the city center, a storm suddenly whipped up, a gigantic Tornado covered the sky. This wind came quickly and left swiftly, but as the winds died down, a sudden thunderclap resounded! This earth-shattering thunder dazed everyone! Following that, a figure flew rapidly from the center of the whirlwind, glimmering with flickering lightning, in an instant, it rushed into the teleportation array formation of the tiered battleground’s main city, then disappeared!

Everything happened extremely suddenly—summed up as a gust of wind, a clap of thunder, a human shadow, and then everything was over...
