As Ye Wen and the others were chatting idly, the explosion within the Absolute Cube finally began to subside.
Thick smoke churned violently within the barrier. Even the embers in the smoke conveyed an intense heat.
However, Ye Wen did not show any sign of slackness despite the grand scene. Instead, his eyes gleamed as he stared intently at the barrier, as if piercing through the dense smoke and directly observing Kindness and Evil inside.
"How amusing. The once lofty God Kings, facing such a desperate situation, actually thought they could deceive their way out with such a laughable tactic.
Do you think I'm blind? Can't I see that you're still alive?" Ye Wen said indifferently.
The smoke inside the barrier continued to drift slowly, with no response to Ye Wen's query, as if Kindness and Evil had truly perished in the great explosion.
Ye Wen was not angered by this. He simply raised his hand, causing the barrier, originally tens of thousands of miles wide, to begin shrinking rapidly.
So you want to play dead and escape?
But if I compress the space to its limit, I don't believe you can continue pretending.
Sure enough, just as Ye Wen had anticipated, after realizing his intentions, Kindness and Evil could no longer maintain their act of playing dead. They simultaneously channeled their divine power into one spot, launching a violent attack on Ye Wen's barrier.
But it was all in vain. They couldn't even destroy a large-scale barrier; how could they possibly damage this concentrated essence?
As Kindness and Evil launched their attack, the previously murky smoke was swept away, revealing their figures.
Just as Ye Wen had expected, they had already been pushed to their limits by Huo Yu'er's spatial explosion. After enduring another spatial explosion from the god realm, which was no less powerful than Huo Yu'er's, their fusion technique had completely shattered, reverting them back into two separate entities.
But that wasn't the most important part. Most crucially, the two super divine artifacts that constituted the indestructible nature of the faceless angel now bore significant damage.
Kindness and Evil were in a wretched state.
Seeing that their long-planned surprise attack had not achieved the desired effect, even the usually benevolent Kindness God King's expression turned unusually gloomy.
As for the Evil God King, he was thoroughly dispirited. Faced with Ye Wen's heavyweight enemies, he no longer harbored any evil thoughts and only wanted to escape.
But the previous attack told him that was just wishful thinking! Both his and Kindness's lives were now in Ye Wen's hands.
When it came to using their brains, the Evil God King always left it to the Kindness God King, so he looked at her.
The Kindness God King remained silent, deep in thought.
After their previous skirmish, both sides had effectively sealed their enmity. However, the fact that there hadn't been any real casualties on Ye Wen's side made her breathe a sigh of relief. Soon, her previously fluctuating expression turned kindly again.
"Esteemed sir, I believe we can talk," the Kindness God King humbly said, lowering herself greatly.
To this, Ye Wen sneered disdainfully and coldly said, "Talk? What is there to talk about? You injured my wife and child, obstructed my plans—you have no path but death."
With that, Ye Wen lifted his hand to accelerate the contraction of the barrier, seemingly intending to crush Kindness and Evil to death with this method.
The Kindness God King's beautiful brows furrowed again. She hadn't expected the other party to be so resolute. But since they truly couldn't overpower the opponent now, she could only suppress her anger and speak softly.
"Esteemed sir, we sincerely admire your strength. If you are willing to spare us, we vow to serve you faithfully. As for the offense of harming your loved ones and obstructing your plans, we will become your sharpest blade in the future as compensation. So please reconsider.
Moreover, showing mercy when possible is a virtuous act. Surely a great being like you will make a wise choice."
Ye Wen's expression froze momentarily. He hadn't expected the supposedly cunning Kindness and Evil to be so shameless.
And at this point, they still attempted to use the God King Technique·Moral Blackmail on him?
It was simply outrageous! A reversal of fortune!
Thus, Ye Wen decided to retaliate, mockingly saying, "I see you've been high and mighty for too long; your minds aren't sharp anymore. Killing you, your divine position heritage will still be mine!"
Seeing Ye Wen remain utterly unmoved, the Kindness God King lost her composure and exclaimed, "Don't push it too far. At worst, Evil and I will self-detonate our divine positions, leaving you with nothing!"
To this, Ye Wen merely shrugged indifferently, "Go ahead, it'll save me some trouble."
The divine positions of Supreme God Kings were indeed valuable, but that depended on the laws involved.
Although the laws of Kindness and Evil were very effective against Bibi Dong's Desire Law, which was close to reaching the Supreme God King level.
When it came to cultivation and understanding of these laws, unless one was a special emotional life form like Kindness and Evil, ordinary humans or soul beasts wouldn't be able to comprehend them deeply.
The entry threshold for this path was essentially locked from the start, so while valuable, the value was limited.
If Kindness and Evil self-detonated now, it would save Ye Wen some effort.
But under Ye Wen's mocking gaze, Kindness and Evil ultimately didn't choose this path. They simply stopped pretending and glared at Ye Wen with murderous intent.
Suddenly, Ye Wen raised an eyebrow. Life fearing death was normal.
But if the opponent was a special life form, that was interesting.
For a moment, Ye Wen's eyes shone brightly as he began analyzing the true nature of Kindness and Evil before him.
Faced with this ability to perceive the essence, Kindness and Evil revealed a panicked expression for the first time in front of Ye Wen.
But soon, Kindness and Evil thought of something and simultaneously suppressed their tension, their eyes reflecting a resigned acceptance.
Kindness and Evil cast one last lingering look at the brilliant starry sky, then gazed at each other, their eyes filled with determination to die.
But just as they were about to self-detonate their divine positions, they suddenly realized they had lost control of their bodies!
???!!!
First confused, then shocked—They had been controlled!
At this moment, Ye Wen's voice echoed faintly, "I underestimated you. Initially, I thought you were merely special life forms similar to Formless Demons, never expecting you to actually be Formless Demons yourselves. Though not offshoots of the Ancestral Formless Demon, but rather independently evolved Formless Demons—how intriguing."
Now, the killing intent in Ye Wen's eyes surged even more. If he had initially intended to simply annihilate them, he now elevated his killing intent to the extreme, planning to completely erase their existence from this universe!
Because from the earlier insight, Ye Wen discovered that while they could be killed, they couldn't be entirely eradicated. They had already prepared contingencies—special causal lines on their bodies indicated that they had placed two special soul avatars somewhere unknown in the cosmos. Similar to how the fallen Angel God could leave behind a divine consciousness.
Unlike those rootless floating weeds, Ye Wen's analysis showed that if the present Kindness and Evil died, the hidden Kindness and Evil avatars in the unknown void of the universe would revive.
To describe it forcefully, the existence form of Kindness and Evil was akin to Liches in Western magic. If their phylacteries weren't completely destroyed, they couldn't be exterminated.
This was absolutely unacceptable to Ye Wen, who advocated complete eradication of evil. If he had been a bit slower just now, those two old-timers might have escaped.
"Indeed, villains are hard to kill," Ye Wen remarked.
After saying this, Ye Wen himself felt somewhat embarrassed because his countless avatars, in some ways, were even more overpowered than Kindness and Evil. Back then, only his main body had died, but as long as his avatars survived, it meant his alternative continuation.
Meanwhile, the immobilized Kindness and Evil were now completely undone.
Choosing suicide had already consumed a lot of courage, for although the split-off avatars were still themselves, the demise of their main bodies was not a pleasant experience—it might even make them question whether they had died or been reborn as copies.
Now, hearing Ye Wen's tone, it seemed he really had special means to deal with them. Even the usually composed Kindness God King completely dropped her facade, her beautiful eyes filled with terror.
From their previous conversation, it was clear that Ye Wen had no intention of sparing them. Without needing to communicate, Kindness and Evil channeled all their divine power, resisting Ye Wen's time law, hoping to detonate themselves.
Otherwise, even a false rebirth would leave them without a chance!
But Ye Wen wasn't the kind of idiotic villain who spouted endless nonsense, giving the enemy a chance to turn the tables.
A faint trace of divine power emerged from Ye Wen's fingertips as his eyes shimmered.
Though weak, this trace of divine power appeared infinitely terrifying to Kindness and Evil, making their eyes scream with ultimate despair.
"Consider yourself honored. The last person to die from this move was considered a King of God Kings.
Super Divine Skill·Endless Eternal Damnation Great Annihilation!!!"
Ye Wen whispered, then flicked his fingertip forward. Instantly, the faint divine power sliced through the Perfect Cube that Kindness and Evil had used every means to try and break.
Simultaneously, it cleaved through the bodies of Kindness and Evil.
Although Ye Wen lacked a dedicated super divine artifact and corresponding divine armor, the opportunities in this world had deepened his understanding of his own Oceanic Laws.
Therefore, even though Ye Wen hadn't fully unleashed this move capable of annihilating the Ancestral Formless Demon, for the critically wounded Kindness and Evil, it was no less than a dimensional strike.
Even after Ye Wen lifted the restriction of the time law, the halved Kindness and Evil felt as if the once brilliant universe had returned to chaos, everything becoming meaningless.
As their divine bodies gradually eroded and decomposed, even their hidden contingency measures weren't spared. In her final moments, the Kindness God King asked unwillingly,
"Why… our attacks couldn't reach you. Why… does a monster like you exist in this universe!"
Ye Wen calmly watched the Kindness God King's demise without responding.
At this moment, Ye Wen also had some doubts. As the holder of supreme laws and having reached the level of King of God Kings, how did the Dragon God die at the hands of Kindness, Evil, and the Asura God?
Although it was intentional on the Dragon God's part, what was the reason?
What a millennium-old riddle!
After all, although madness had caused some damage to the Dragon God's strength, Kindness and the others at that time definitely hadn't reached their current level. Ye Wen himself was confident that he could single-handedly defeat them in a soul battle back then.
Thus, Ye Wen could only attribute it to the Dragon God being a genuine madman.
This shows that either you must be your own boss, or absolutely avoid working for such a neurotic boss—it could cost you your life.
In the end, with the utmost reluctance of the Kindness God King, all their backup plans were thoroughly obliterated by Ye Wen's combination of causality and ultimate laws. All schemes were aborted.
Watching the completely defeated Kindness God King fade from view, Ye Wen finally exhaled in relief.
There was no helping it. The Formless Demon race was simply too troublesome and disgusting. If their ultimate boss didn't come out, they would endlessly harass—anyone would find it annoying.
But soon, the cautious Ye Wen had to face other vexing issues again.
Leaving aside other parallel worlds, in his own world, even the Asura God King had been defeated by him, yet there was no trace of the Kindness and Evil God Kings, which was troublesome.
After all, unlike the Asura God King, the essence of the Kindness and Evil God Kings was Formless Demons. Although he had ultimately exterminated the Ancestral Formless Demon and all other God King-level Founding Formless Demons,
due to their racial characteristics, the remaining God-level Formless Demons were absolutely not easy to completely eradicate. If the hidden Kindness and Evil God Kings found an opportunity, it was hard to say they wouldn't become the new leaders of the Formless Demon civilization.
Moreover, judging by their age, the Kindness and Evil God Kings were definitely older than him, possibly even reaching the level of the former Dragon God.
This meant these two old-timers might secretly have broken through to the level of King of God Kings, which would be much harder to deal with than the Kindness and Evil of this world who foolishly walked right into his trap.
"Troublesome," Ye Wen sighed painfully, rubbing his temples.
He had originally planned to stay longer in this world, but thinking of the safety of his own world gave him the illusion that he couldn't stop. It seemed he needed to quickly settle things here and return home.
Huo Yu'er said nothing. She only knew she had to firmly stand by Ye Wen's side.
At this moment, Ye Wen seemed to recall something and solemnly said to Huo Yu'er, "Yu'er, your cycle laws have been stuck at the Supreme God King level for a long time. When we return, exchange more ideas with Xue Di. She also practices cycle laws, but one governs the cycle of life, the other the cycle of the world. Together, your chances of breaking through to King of God Kings are high."
Although she didn't know why Ye Wen suddenly brought this up, Huo Yu'er joyfully nodded.
The feeling of being cared for by her husband~ Happy >3
