Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

And what happened next was even more straightforward.

They couldn’t defeat Tang N, but the gap in strength wasn’t great. Plus, within the World of the Heart’s Image, they were all immortal beings, which made this battle drag on until now, with no clear victor.

During this process, Tang Big Fool also discovered the wonderful use of power transfer and union amplification—this wasn’t a difficult problem for Tang Haofei and the others.

In summary, their powers were about the same, their methods were similar, but their ideologies were discordant. It’s predictable that without external interference, these two groups could continue indefinitely.

”I need your help.”

Tang Haofei said this, and then he looked at Wen Yu, who only nodded in response.

He would definitely help Tang One...

Just because the Dominator was watching from outside, and within the World of the Heart’s Image, Wen Yu didn’t have a complete solution for Tang Haofei and the others. Actually, the current situation was a good thing for Wen Yu.

Rather than rescuing Tang Four or Tang N, Wen Yu preferred to save Tang Big Fool, who Tang One recognized.

”So, what do you need me to do? Is it sealing again?”

Faced with Wen Yu’s question, Tang One decisively shook his head, took a deep breath, and then replied.

”This time, we’re not going to play with sealing. I have a method to solve the cost of power once and for all.”

Wen Yu silently nodded, but secretly curled his lips.

The Dominator doesn’t even have a way, and you say you have a solution? You must be teasing me...

...

”So, what’s next?”

The first step for Tang One was to capture a Tang Haofei—it didn’t matter which group, and it just so happened that Wen Yu had a ready candidate.

Tang Four.

At this moment, Tang Four was thrashing about in the seal Wen Yu had set up. However, decades had widened the gap in power between Wen Yu and Tang Four once more. Just a tiny bit of power escaping from Wen Yu’s fingertips was enough to completely seal all of Tang Four’s actions.

”Release the seal.”

Tang One sat cross-legged on the ground, Tang Two stood by, while Tang Three was bound with chains, leaning against the wall. Seeing this, Wen Yu snapped his fingers lightly, and then the seal melted and broke apart.

”Boom!”

Accompanied by flashing thunder, Tang Four, who had just escaped, was about to flee when Wen Yu slapped him down, then stepped on him.

”Control him... well, it seems you’ve already done that...”

Tang One said this—as the movements of Wen Yu and Tang Four appeared like lightning in Tang One’s eyes, incredibly fast.

Wen Yu merely shrugged, indicating he wasn’t a fool either...

”What’s next?”

Wen Yu kicked Tang Four unconscious again, then looked at Tang One.

Tang One gave Tang Two a look, and then Tang Two, with determined eyes, walked towards Tang Three.

”What is this...”

Wen Yu watched as Tang Two held Tang Three’s hand, eyes full of doubt, while Tang One only smiled bitterly.

”Union as one.”

”Hmm, I’ve seen this trick before, what’s it for?”

Wen Yu thought it should be a stunt like the union amplification Tang Four had shown before, but he was indeed mistaken.

Wen Yu and Tang One said this while changes started appearing on Tang Two and Tang Three.

...

Tang Two was calm, and Tang Three was still frenzied.

However, the moment their hands touched, Tang Three’s frenzied demeanor inexplicably calmed. He trembled slowly, as if enduring some kind of external pain.

”I only thought of this more than ten years ago.”

Tang One, still unhurried, slowly explained his thoughts on the matter to Wen Yu.

”Humans are divided into good and evil, I naturally have good and evil sides. Perhaps others born from the cost of power are inherently evil, but it’s not absolute.”

These words deeply resonated with Wen Yu.

Once, Tang Two’s temperament was also quite vile, but under the subtle influence of various events, he now didn’t repel or loathe Wen Yu as much.

More straightforwardly, the chaos now occurring in the World of the Heart’s Image was exactly the clash between Tang Haofei’s good and evil sides.

”When Tang Four first appeared, he had the means to devour other Tang Haofeis, and I’ve always been pondering one question... Why didn’t Tang Four devour all three of us, so I made a hypothesis: It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he couldn’t.”

”The existence of us three must be special.”

How special, Tang Haofei didn’t say, but Wen Yu briefly thought, and realized that when Tang One, Tang Two, and Tang Three were in power, Tang Haofei was normal in some aspects. But after Tang Four appeared, this entity named Tang Haofei became immediately strange.

”During these thirty years, I kept searching for answers, forming hypotheses, experimenting and verifying, until finally I realized the root of the problem lay in him.”

Tang One raised his hand and pointed at Tang Three.

”Him? Isn’t he just a fool?”

”Yes, but rather than a fool, I prefer to compare him to a blank slate...”

”Because with a blank slate, you can paint it any color...”

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Yu immediately understood. He looked at Tang Two and Tang Three, his eyes instantly lighting up.

”So, you will use him as a basis to reshape a complete Tang Haofei? As for whether the newly born Tang Haofei is good or evil...”

”It depends on whether my good side or evil side prevails in this current World of the Heart’s Image!”

Listening to Tang Haofei’s theory, Wen Yu pondered briefly, then lightly shook his head.

”It’s neck and neck, to be exact; your evil thoughts have a slight upper hand in strength, but I think this method should not only rely on brute strength. However, this method still has major flaws.”

”But isn’t it the only method?”

Wen Yu remained silent, then nodded.

He turned his head, once again looking at Tang Two and Tang Three, and after a moment, saw Tang Three’s body suddenly tremble while Tang Two fell cleanly to the ground. Then, Tang Two’s fallen shell instantly shattered, turning into dust. As the dust further decomposed into smaller particles, all traces of Tang Two’s existence were completely erased in just a moment.

Wen Yu slowly swallowed, then he saw Tang Three slowly open his eyes, a spiritual glow blinking in them. He nodded gently at Wen Yu, then broke free from the chains and walked to Wen Yu’s side.

”One good thought, one evil thought, both battling in the same body, but this time, the competition is not just about strength and order of birth, but belief.”

”I think, on such a battlefield, we should not lose to these beasts without ideals, goals, or direction.”

In this way, Tang Three, controlled by Tang Two’s thoughts, grabbed the lying Tang Four. As both bodies kept trembling, the second fusion began.
