Teacher Li's Transcendent Talent was a C-rank [Heaven-and-Man Induction], considered a spiritual-type talent.
However, its effect was not as good as the Inspirer's, and it had little practical value.
In addition, Teacher Li was just an ordinary C-rank Transcendent, whose profession could not compare with geniuses like Jiang He and Du Lingwei.
Even more so, with Jiang He possessing the 「Extreme · Stealth Insignia」, able to sneak invisibly into the Wolf Pack's base, Teacher Li's identity had no value at all.
Not to mention his disgusting memories.
Jiang He directly deleted his transformation from the Ever-Changing Mask—
That kind of transformation simply polluted his Artifact.
It was too revolting.
The existence of such trash only deepened Jiang He's understanding of the Wolf Pack Organization.
This evil organization, catalyzed by extreme ideology, held a darkness far beyond his imagination.
When the time came for him to act, he did not even need to worry about accidentally harming innocents—
Transcendents who grew up in such an environment, even if they had once been innocent children, after long years of brainwashing and molding, had already undergone a fundamental transformation.
In such circumstances, striking cleanly and decisively was instead giving them release.
Moreover…
Jiang He could not help but glance at the Craftsman God, a flicker of relief flashing in his eyes.
Fortunately, the Craftsman God's talent was heaven-defying.
Even if he was a "tool," he was the most precious kind of "tool."
He did not need to be stained with blood.
As long as he ensured his strength grew and obediently forged equipment, that was already the greatest contribution to the Wolf Pack Organization.
A genius valued so highly by the Wolf King would not be sullied by anyone, nor would anyone dare attempt anything indecent against him…
"What are you looking at me for?!" The Craftsman God noticed Jiang He's gaze, anger flashing on his face.
"I've never been touched by anyone, damn it!"
"…I know." Jiang He, of course, knew, turning his head away, trying not to look at him.
But the Craftsman God's heart had long been riddled with scars, becoming sensitive and fragile.
His face flushed red, his fists clenched tight.
Damn Wolf Pack!!!
The two of them leaped over mountains and lakes, arriving at a remote area deep in the wilderness.
This place looked deserted, seemingly perfect as a hidden den for an evil organization.
Clearly, the Wolf King thought the same.
He had used his own talent to modify this place, setting up a large-scale domain.
When Jiang He used the method from Teacher Li's memories to trigger this 「Realm of Nothingness」—
In an instant, the mountains vanished like an illusion, replaced by a cold, imposing steel fortress standing before him.
This was the "Wolf Fortress" in Teacher Li's memory.
But it was not the "Base Exterior" Jiang He had seen in the Craftsman God's memories.
That was not surprising.
Even rabbits had three burrows.
The Wolf Pack, a Transcendent organization with ambitions for the world, could not possibly have only one lair.
For Jiang He, though, as long as he found one lair, everything would begin to fall into place.
He and the Craftsman God landed, completely ignoring the defensive devices and sentries arranged around the fortress, striding boldly inside.
As they walked down the corridor, none of the Transcendents they passed along the way seemed able to perceive them at all.
Or rather, they could not see their figures to begin with.
This was Transcendence!
As long as one possessed enough power, all conspiracies and schemes were as fragile as children's games.
One force could break ten thousand laws!
Of course—
This was also the dilemma Jiang He and the Craftsman God faced—
The core of the Wolf Pack Organization was their leader, the Wolf King.
Even if they found the wolf lair, if they could not find the Wolf King, it meant nothing.
But just as they could rely on the 「Extreme · Stealth Insignia」 to come and go unimpeded, how could the Wolf King, who possessed the [Realm of Nothingness] talent, possibly be found so easily?
Jiang He asked: "So what do we do next?"
"Stay in this Wolf Fortress, wait for him to show up himself?"
"Or search for more lairs, narrowing down their traces bit by bit?"
"We don't have time to waste.
Just start killing!" The Craftsman God said murderously.
"The Head Wolves all have the right to contact the Wolf King.
You have the Ever-Changing Mask.
As long as you kill one Head Wolf and seize his memories, you'll learn the method…"
"Then we can lure out the Wolf King and kill him!"
Jiang He could tell—the Craftsman God was truly desperate, eager to slaughter the entire Wolf Pack on the spot.
Understandable.
With the Craftsman God's experiences, who wouldn't be?
As long as he still wanted to hunt wolves, not destroy the world, then there was no problem.
Jiang He followed along: "Then let's kill."
As they spoke, they moved according to Teacher Li's memories, quickly passing through the indoctrination zone, the breeding zone, and heading straight for the core area.
Along the way, Jiang He saw many children dressed in prison-like garb, being harshly drilled by adults.
It was already past midnight, yet they were given no rest, their minds stretched to the breaking point—
Only when they finally broke down could they be molded into brand new Evil Wolves.
Seeing this, Jiang He's fists clenched hard, but he still endured, refraining from alerting the enemy.
Only by eradicating the Wolf Pack as a whole could the root problem be destroyed, and those children truly set free.
...
Wolf Fortress, Core Rest Chamber.
He Feisong lay lazily in his chair, fiddling with his phone.
The wolf-head mask symbolizing his status lay tossed aside on the ground, too much trouble for him to pick up.
On his phone screen, he watched members of the Arc Light Organization being executed, while in the comment section below, people cheered.
He sighed.
"Ah… when will days like this ever end?"
Remembering the past, a flicker of nostalgia passed through his eyes.
Once, as an A-rank Transcendent, he had been the guardian of a city, admired and revered, basking in endless glory.
But unfortunately, after taking on an order from above and making a trip to Central State City…
His identity was gone.
In the end, he could only stay in the Wolf Pack, hiding his name, becoming just another nameless Evil Wolf.
Yet what had he done wrong?
He had only killed a few people.
And all of it had been tasks assigned from above.
He sighed again.
"Powerless to choose one's fate…"
"And then there's the World Destroyer… might as well let this world be destroyed."
At that moment, He Feisong seemed to sense something.
His body flickered, the wolf-head mask snapped onto his face, and an invisible blade of air sliced across, splitting the entire room in two.
Everything shattered and crashed down in a pile of rubble.
But there was no "blood" as he had expected.
He Feisong froze.
Beneath the wolf mask, his brow furrowed slightly.
A mistake?
But he had clearly felt someone in the room just now…
No—it was no mistake!
He Feisong's body locked up, forcibly immobilized by an unseen force, unable to break free.
He stared in shock at a boy appearing out of thin air.
The boy wore golden battle armor, holding a small hammer in hand, like a judge delivering a verdict, striking down with force.
The invisible power binding He Feisong turned into golden shackles, instantly snapping into place around his body.
In that moment, realization dawned—
He was guilty.
He had already been judged.
The sentence was "Deprivation."
At once, He Feisong's energy level was stripped away, dropping instantly from A-rank to B-rank!
His strength diminished a hundredfold or more!
This was—
The power belonging to the current Speaker, [Absolute Judgment]!
He Feisong stared in shock at the boy before him, blurting out: "Who are you? Did Absolute Judgment send you to kill me?!"
"I'm your damn father." The boy sneered coldly, his small hammer transforming into a snow-white long blade, slicing through the air.
"Die, bastard!"
