Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Mad, you bunch of shit!”

In a fit of rage, Fran couldn’t help but curse loudly, yet Treasure Land Protector Number 28 remained expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard Fran’s outburst at all.

Fran, consumed by anger, charged fiercely to the front of the defense barrier. He waved streams of energy and struck them hard against the barrier, only to see not the slightest ripple.

Level 8... compared to Level 11... aside from some outliers, it is simply an insurmountable gap!

Treasure Land Protector Number 28 didn’t pay much attention to Fran. He just gazed in a certain direction until a high-pitched dragon’s roar rang out. A black figure carrying a tiny Ants rushed rapidly before the Treasure Land Protector.

”Gentlemen, the higher-ups have commanded, please cooperate with the inspection... Uh, though this order is a bit odd, there’s nothing I can do, can everyone just try to understand each other?”

The Treasure Land Protector spoke sincerely; in fact, he seemed somewhat bewildered about all this as well——Number 28 wasn’t anyone’s secret agent; he merely served the Dominator, someone with a lower number and greater strength who just wanted to while away his days as a normal Treasure Land Protector.

But Protector Number 2 had ordered, and for a high price... what could he do?

As for the black barrier outside, Number 28 had naturally seen it——there’s surely something fishy, but what does that have to do with him?

With the Dominator absent and the authority of Number 2 not as great as Golden Armor’s, but still, not someone he could afford to provoke, he took the benefits, did the job, then pretended not to see anything.

Star and Luo Luo, upon hearing this, communicated with their boss in their minds, exchanged a few words, then Star immediately spat out a Dragon Flame!

Wen Yu had given straightforward orders——a simple sparring match, make it look urgent for them...

But don’t go overboard.

Treasure Land Protector Number 28 naturally didn’t know about this, he merely sighed helplessly and then waved his hand to set up another barrier.

In an instant, the barrier flickered with light and shadow——Treasure Land Protector Number 28 leaned towards defense, he dared not, nor could he, with deadly intent against Wen Yu’s soul pet in the tiered battle ground, let alone considering that entity called Luo Luo wasn’t an easy one to handle either.

Whereas Star and Luo Luo did truly exert their full strength——yet it didn’t make much of a difference, Luo Luo didn’t summon the ant swarm, lacking combat capability with just the original body, and Star, though strong, had to mind who he was facing, right?

...

While Star and Luo Luo were hemmed in by the Treasure Land Protector, Wen Yu, upon receiving the message from Luo Luo, immediately set out himself——as this was his own arrival in person!

Behind him, Faceless transformed into Wen Yu’s likeness following closely, with Cyclops and Victor naturally residing in the Soul Realm space.

Recalling what Lin Haifeng had told him the last time they met, although Wen Yu looked down on Lin Haifeng’s scheming, this time, he genuinely admired Lin Haifeng’s grand vision.

Wen Yu, passing through the teleportation array formation, didn’t take much time before arriving at the mainland bloc where District 8 Outpost Base was located. Yet, just as he passed through the teleportation array, three silhouettes awaited ahead as if they had been waiting for some time.

”Wen Yu... In accordance with the Dominator’s command, we are here to capture you and take you back to Earth, hope you won’t make a mistake.”

The leader, with green skin, offered a reasonable explanation——compared to the Treasure Land Protector in Star and Luo Luo’s direction, Protector Number 2 blocking Wen Yu had a better excuse.

Wen Yu first looked at Protector Number 2 who spoke, then glanced at the other two beside him.

Their aura was all Level 11, without a doubt, they should be Treasure Land Protectors.

”You timed this pretty well.”

With a touch of sarcasm, Wen Yu remarked, and Number 2 just smiled lightly, bending down and making a gesture of ”please”.

Both sides were aware of each other’s intentions, and the reason given by Number 2 was just to uphold a pretense, in case of some probing later, to have an excuse. Number 2 clearly intended to keep Wen Yu from reaching District 8 Outpost Base, and Wen Yu was more than happy to play along...

However, this time, the ”play” between the two wasn’t going to be that simple.

If one side showed weakness, then Number 2 wouldn’t mind actually capturing Wen Yu and taking him back to Earth, and Wen Yu wouldn’t mind dealing with Protector Number 2 right here.

As the black energy wave suddenly surged, enveloping all five people including Faceless within, then the barrier formed by the dark energy instantly pulsated and resonated!

...

District 8 Outpost Base.

Inside, the few soldiers left watching the black veil were at a loss, no matter how they tried, they couldn’t find the defense limit of the veil.

Thus, the relief for the Supreme Command Headquarters turned to an illusion swiftly, and at this moment, within the Supreme Command Headquarters of District 8 Outpost Base, lay a different scene altogether.

The giant octopus stretched its body, firmly wrapping around the entire building, with purple slurry continuously seeping into the headquarters, then transforming into bizarre purple rubber-like creatures. As soon as these creatures appeared, they immediately began a massacre——their strength averaging at Peak Level 8, which to the civilian staff in the headquarters seemed like an unscalable summit.

The only ones with battle capability were possibly Lin Haifeng himself and his few trusted aides.

Lin Haifeng’s trusted aides held fast to the headquarters’ main gate, unwavering against the surge from those purple monsters, yet suddenly, the floor beneath them trembled unexpectedly, and with just a moment’s disorientation, the entire headquarters collapsed and disintegrated.

Externally, the giant octopus contracted its body once more, accompanied by a powerful squeeze, the entire structure was instantly torn asunder, thereafter, the giant octopus used its body to raise an external barrier anew, ensuring the target had no chance of escape.

Although this operation had gone unexpectedly smoothly, the giant octopus didn’t relax its vigilance, unleashing all its Perception Ability, soon spotting a figure rising from the rubble.

”There, take a look, is it him?”

The giant octopus’s voice resounded, then suddenly a masked head emerged from within the barrier constituted by the octopus itself, observing Lin Haifeng for a long moment, until their eyes met, a stunned expression appeared on Lin Haifeng’s face, then the Demigod withdrew the head.

”It should be him, though whether it’s a clone or a surrogate will require you to apprehend him, and then I’ll inspect further.”

Tricks with clones and surrogates, the Demigod was familiar with those, indeed, the Demigod still had dozens of surrogates——with a similar build, just cover with a mask and it was done.

But the Soul can’t be faked!

Once Lin Haifeng was captured, the Demigod only needed to conduct a close check, and he could verify the authenticity of Lin Haifeng’s identity!

”Then, let the hunt begin!”
