The dark Chen Pingchuan felt a secret delight, yet his face remained serious.
"I know of a ritual, but it requires a small price. Perhaps only then can we defeat him."
He ntally calculated how to corrupt and transform the two won. No matter how the island's natives were modified, the highest they could reach was the strength of a level-seven powerhouse. But these two won… if they cooperated with the transformation, perhaps…
On the beach, Chen Pingchuan was completely unaware of his dark counterpart's conspiracy. He was imrsed in his own thoughts, attempting to find a clear thread from the tangle of chaotic clues.
Ti slipped by quietly in the whispers of the waves, and the simulator's cooldown was gradually ending.
"The stars are out, but there is no moon."
Chen Pingchuan lay on a large rock, watching the sky. For a mont, he started to miss ho again.
It had been over four years since he'd co to this world. While his old life hadn't been great, it had at least been stable. But ever since acquiring the simulator, he was constantly on the move, eting many different people along the way. Though not much ti had passed, he felt like he had lived through an eternity. And in a way, he had.
Finally, the notification that the simulator's cooldown had ended sounded in Chen Pingchuan's mind. He took a deep breath, flipped to his feet, and stood up.
"The sooner this ends, the better. The longer it takes, the more variables will appear."
"Ti to get to work!"
Chen Pingchuan didn't act as recklessly as before. Instead, he cautiously planned his route based on the experience from the last simulation, deciding to first avoid areas where ambushes might occur.
Several hours later, because the target locked by Chen Pingchuan's "Just a Bit Faster Than You" skill had expired, it still took him hours to arrive outside the Divine Hall, even at full speed. The appearance of the Divine Hall was the sa as yesterday, without any change.
Chen Pingchuan carefully pushed the door open.
This ti, his advance was unnervingly smooth. He t no resistance and heard no sound, to the point it felt suspicious. The air was terrifyingly still.
Damn it. They must have a nasty surprise waiting for up ahead.
Chen Pingchuan rarely cursed. Before, he had been more like a god looking down on mortals; now, he was more like a man full of passions and desires.
When Chen Pingchuan arrived at the mirror space again, it was still a vast expanse of white. The only difference was what lay before him: two huge, black spheres floating in the air, each containing the silhouette of a person.
Chen Pingchuan took a closer look. The two silhouettes were clearly Lilia and Lu Jiaojiao. Their faces were contorted, and a nauseating black mist emanated from them. Sothing was clearly wrong.
"Lilia? Lu Jiaojiao?" Chen Pingchuan softly called their nas.
"Hmph, Chen Pingchuan, stop pretending!"
"When you abandoned them back then, you should have considered the consequences. To be honest, sotis I don't even know who is truly evil. It feels like you, the manifestation of humanity, are even more wicked than ."
As Chen Pingchuan was observing the two, the figure of the dark Chen Pingchuan appeared on the other side of the passage. He looked the sa as yesterday; the only difference was his clothes. He wasn't wearing yesterday's combat suit. It seed that suit was even more valuable than he had imagined.
"So, this is your goal? To threaten with them and make surrender? You should know that's impossible," Chen Pingchuan probed, uncertain of his opponent's true purpose.
But the dark Chen Pingchuan simply waggled a finger, gesturing that he was wrong.
"No, no, no, you're wrong. They are far more valuable than you can imagine."
"Of course, now is not the ti to talk about them. Let's continue yesterday's topic. I still don't understand, what do you gain by killing ? In the end, you'll still be killed by that divine one. Why can't you join forces with ?"
Just as the dark Chen Pingchuan was about to continue his rambling, Chen Pingchuan suddenly summoned two weapons from his storage space and hurled them toward Lilia and Lu Jiaojiao.
The dark Chen Pingchuan's face changed as he cursed inwardly.
Damn it! How did he know I was stalling for ti? Just one more day, and I could have transford them into level-eight Dark Polluters. In another week, I could have raised them to late-stage level-eight powerhouses! If I had enough ti, given their talents, it might even be possible to create a level-nine powerhouse!
While the dark Chen Pingchuan was seething with internal rage, Chen Pingchuan had already seized the initiative.
"Just a Bit Faster Than You."
"Sleight of Hand."
The next mont, a pitch-black longsword brimming with berserk energy appeared in Chen Pingchuan's hand. It was the sa Pollution Sword from yesterday—any weapon that clashed with it would be corrupted and corroded, turning into a pile of scrap tal.
"What did you do? You are definitely not Humanity! He wasn't this powerful!" the dark Chen Pingchuan exclaid, shocked and angry, the surprise on his face beyond words.
He had originally thought the opponent's talent could only be used once every few days, but once a day? That was simply impossible. Furthermore, the way his opponent had taken his combat suit and weapon went beyond the scope of a re talent. That was the power of cosmic laws, sothing only a god could master.
Although the dark Chen Pingchuan summoned shadow creatures to block the two weapons, they were quickly destroyed by Chen Pingchuan. It was no easy feat for him to create these shadow creatures, even as an embodint of extre evil, and in just a few short days, Chen Pingchuan had eliminated over ninety percent of them. He no longer dared to summon his minions to block Chen Pingchuan.
"In that case, don't bla ."
"You forced my hand! Co forth, my Extre Evil ssengers!"
As the dark Chen Pingchuan's voice faded, the enormous black spheres floating in the air began to tremble violently. Black mist roiled like boiling ink as two figures slowly erged from within—it was the completely corrupted Lilia and Lu Jiaojiao. Their eyes flickered with an eerie light, and a dense, dark aura swirled around them, their power now a level above what it was before.
Lu Jiaojiao's form had beco more agile, her speed so great she left afterimages in the air. A blade condensed from dark energy had sohow appeared in her hand, radiating a chilling presence. Lilia, anwhile, levitated in mid-air, her long hair whipping about wildly. Her telekinesis was now powerful enough to warp the very space around her, and countless black energy spikes orbited her body, poised to tear their prey apart.
"Kill him!"
