Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”You didn’t deceive me.”

After a moment of silence, the Dominator spoke again.

”You’re neither on my side nor on the Demon Lord’s side; you stand only on the side you believe is right. This mindset... is good.”

The Dominator nodded, forcefully uttering the word ”good”, and Wen Yu observed with the corner of his eyes, realizing that what the Dominator meant by ’good’ was indeed just ’good’.

”You’ve passed this test...”

After a while, the Dominator spoke again with a long and slow tone.

”I have thoughts about you. Even if you’re not smart, you’re not foolish either. Now you can see that I’m not genuinely helping you; I have my own demands.”

Though the Dominator did not elaborate on ’His demands’, Wen Yu understood what the matter was; it was as if the Dominator was intentionally revealing the cards.

To the Dominator, the intelligence Wen Yu painstakingly gathered might just be a minor secret the Dominator casually ignored—realistically speaking, the Dominator didn’t care what Wen Yu thought or felt.

He was certain he had Wen Yu cornered.

”Then let’s move on to the next topic. Where did you find the method for race conversion?”

Wen Yu answered swiftly.

”Once, at the Heavenly Palace, the Almighty Immortal Emperor gave it to me.”

Throwing the blame on a dead person generally wouldn’t cause any issues.

”What about him?”

The Dominator pointed at Tang Haofei.

”I don’t know.”

The Dominator watched Wen Yu, squinting as if trying to discern Wen Yu’s true thoughts, but Wen Yu merely lowered his head, displaying a respectful demeanor.

He feared Him playing a mind manipulation trick...

He also feared the Dominator behind him making some unwise moves...

But fortunately, amidst all these considerations, the Dominator didn’t react excessively.

Once again, silence from the Dominator and anxiety from Wen Yu.

After a while, the Dominator made his final judgment on Wen Yu.

”I will revoke the warrant for your arrest and no longer interfere in any of your actions... and, you shall once again become part of my sequence.”

”That is the first matter.”

The Dominator spoke, and Wen Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Soon, the muscles and bones on Wen Yu’s forehead flickered, revealing a fragment of the Demon Realm’s Core, shining with black light.

”This.”

He pointed at the fragment on his forehead, inquiring the Dominator.

”Due to the race conversion, I’ve been removed from the sequence system.”

”I have a way.”

Calmly, the Dominator spoke, then stood up, pacing back and forth, thinking as He spoke.

”Frankly, compared to you being a pawn of the Demon Lord’s rebirth, the race conversion angers me more!”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu nodded lightly.

From the Dominator’s attitude, Wen Yu had already detected the difference between these two matters in the Dominator’s eyes—regarding rebirth, the Dominator merely asked briefly, then moved on, but faced with race conversion, the Dominator almost brainwashed Wen Yu.

There lies the distinction.

”Within the professionist system, no creature can elude my location or power deprivation—these, you should have understood before race conversion, right?”

”Yes, I know. Precisely because of this, I chose to convert races.”

Wen Yu acknowledges this, and for this reason, there seems no need to dodge responsibility.

Indeed, I just can’t trust you.

”However, exclusively for the Demon Tribe, I’m unable to locate or deprive power. The difference here will not be discussed now, but as for the sequence, I do have my own methods.”

Wen Yu merely listened.

”Power deprivation isn’t possible now. In this situation, I can no longer deprive your power, so if you provoke me further, I can only destroy you humanely, and all of this hinges on one prerequisite—I need to be able to locate you, meaning I need a new positioning method.”

After speaking, the Dominator waved His hand, accompanied by a flash of white light, which shot onto the prone Tang Haofei, then entered his body.

”You see, here’s the method. I mark you with a tracking seal on your bodies, and with your powers, you should be unable to wash off this seal, which sets a new location. Although it’s not perfect, it will do.”

Saying this, a glow appeared on the Dominator’s hand again, He looked at Wen Yu until Wen Yu voluntarily reached out and touched the light.

As the white light integrated into his body, Wen Yu immediately felt an invisible net enveloping this carbon copy of himself.

”This should do...”

Seeing Wen Yu’s understanding, the Dominator nodded lightly and sat back in the chair, speaking slowly.

”Positioning complete, as for the sequence, well, that’s just a title. The power ranking chart I whimsically created holds little actual significance; at most, it selects the strongest among this world.”

”So the sequence is just a title like ’Commander-in-Chief of Yanjing’. Naturally, I can reintegrate you into the sequence system.”

What the Dominator said was vague, but Wen Yu knew the implications.

The beautiful part was that the Dominator hadn’t realized he was speaking to just one of Wen Yu’s carbon copies...

Wen Yu thought briefly about it and dismissed it from his mind.

”Two months from now, I will reopen the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle. Whether you or Tang Haofei become Sequence Number 1 is irrelevant, but one thing is certain: both of you must fight with all your might! I need to assess your specific power levels.”

This was the test, and Wen Yu had no grounds to refuse.

”So, this leads me to the second matter I want you to handle.”

”About him!”

The Dominator reached out, pointing at the perpetually prone Tang Haofei.

...

”I know that after I left, unpleasant situations occurred between the two of you. Now, tell me, do you wish to kill him?”

”I do! He is an unstable factor.”

”Hmm, to me, he’s quite stable... so abandon your intentions, you both are not allowed to engage. You can’t kill him, and he won’t bother you, understand?”

When the Dominator asked ’understand’, it meant it was settled.

So Wen Yu nodded.

”However, he is currently facing some trouble regarding the cost of power...”

After speaking, the Dominator turned his gaze to Wen Yu.

”I can’t solve his trouble right now... thus I need your help, to awaken Tang Haofei.”

”Here, right now?”

”Indeed, right here? Is that possible?”

This ’is that possible’ is akin to ’understand’.

”What should I do?”
