Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Mutation

"You still haven’t answered me, what is your plan?"

Wen Wen stood in front of Ning Zhewan, who looked at Wen Wen gratefully and quickly escaped the building.

"My plan is..."

Xia Weiyi seemed about to answer Wen Wen’s question, but the pages of the book in his hands began turning automatically, making Wen Wen secretly vigilant.

As Wen Wen had expected, Xia Weiyi wasn’t being honest. The continuously flipping book suddenly stopped on one of its pages, and a bright purple Rune phantom appeared on it. Then several lightning dragons burst forth from the Rune, with ferocious claws and teeth heading straight for Wen Wen!

Wen Wen raised an eyebrow and, without any panic, extended his right hand towards the lightning dragons, easily absorbing them into his hand.

Then, with a slight wave of his left hand, a column of lightning shot towards Xia Weiyi, but it was blocked by a defensive Rune.

What slightly concerned Wen Wen was that this Rune had appeared automatically from the book rather than being actively deployed by Xia Weiyi.

Once a Rune Array was activated, it held immense power, but it required some time to prepare, so a mere Rune Master wasn’t very powerful. However, a Rune Mage like Xia Weiyi, who could utilize various Runes at the wave of a hand, was something Wen Wen was seeing for the first time.

This probably wasn’t Xia Weiyi’s own ability, so Wen Wen pointed at the ancient book and said, "Hey, old man, that book of yours is something special, isn’t it?"

Upon hearing this question, Xia Weiyi instantly felt as though he was being targeted by a thief and quickly clutched his precious Rune Book.

Then Xia Weiyi saw, accompanied by a flurry of blue light, Wen Wen was already standing in front of him—he hadn’t even seen Wen Wen’s movements when suddenly a big foot kicked into Xia Weiyi’s stomach, sending him flying out like a cannonball.

Xia Weiyi crashed through three walls and flew out of the building, landing in a pond outside, where he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He hadn’t been able to react to Wen Wen’s actions at all. Had it not been for Lofvis’s Rune Book coating him with a protective film, he would have turned into a pulp by then.

He lifted his head and found Wen Wen already standing at the edge of the pond, looking at him with disappointment.

"As a behind-the-scenes manipulator, you’re really too weak. I thought you would at least be somewhat stronger than Ning Zhewan."

"But now it seems that you are just a lucky kid who happened to obtain a treasure."

The water in the pond, driven by a blue Rune, formed a muscular and turbid water person that punched towards Wen Wen. Wen Wen dodged the water person easily and lightly tapped its chest, turning it into a muscle man ice sculpture.

But the muscle man ice sculpture began to tremble violently and then exploded with intensity, enveloping the entire courtyard in an icy mist.

The mist contained elements that blocked perception, making Wen Wen somewhat uncertain of Xia Weiyi’s position. However, it wasn’t a significant problem.

Wen Wen took a deep breath and then exhaled a powerful flame. With the aid of high oxygen levels, the temperature of the flame rose instantly, vaporizing the surrounding ice mist, and the air cleared again.

Just a few meters in front of Wen Wen, a black hourglass appeared on Xia Weiyi. He was preparing to teleport away amidst the mist.

His goal was only revenge and... he did not need to fight Wen Wen to the death.

But before he could teleport away, Wen Wen appeared right in front of him, a blue light flashing on his arm, directly pulling him out of the black hourglass Array!

"How, how is this possible!"

Xia Weiyi’s face was full of disbelief. Space teleportation once started should not be interfered with—why could Wen Wen directly pull him out?

Moreover, in the fight just now, Wen Wen had used too many abilities. He had never seen a superpower user who possessed so many abilities simultaneously.

"What’s impossible about that, the Rune Array is strong, and it also has a broad range of applications, but its strengths are generally comprehensive."

"Unless they are powerful runes created at a huge expense, simple Rune Arrays can’t compare with superpower users who specialize in a particular ability in that specific ability."

"I, myself, have the ability of spatial attribute, so it’s absolutely impossible for you to escape from my hands with that slow spatial transfer."

Xia Weiyi widened his eyes, "Then why was Ning Zhewan able to escape from you?"

"Of course, it was to lure you, the big fish," Wen Wen shrugged his shoulders and said.

After speaking, Wen Wen grabbed Xia Weiyi by the collar and threw him into the air, then several black Light Swords flew out, piercing through his limbs and nailing him to the wall.

Once confirmed that Xia Weiyi was the mastermind behind the scenes, Wen Wen saw no need to hold back, so he subdued him with casual ease.

A yellowed book fell to the ground, and ’Lofvis’s Rune Book’ was written on the cover in Youta script.

Wen Wen estimated that this book was of a high level, so he did not rashly touch it himself but took out a Puppet from the Sanctuary and carefully studied the book.

While the Puppet researched the nature of the Rune Book, Wen Wen walked up to Xia Weiyi, grasped his chin, and said, "I hope you can tell me how to end this massacre, and just by doing that, I might spare your life."

"It’s a fair deal, isn’t it? Even if you don’t tell me, I can still end everything by purifying the resentment. It would just take a bit more effort."

Xia Weiyi’s mouth spilled a trace of blood, and he looked at Wen Wen with disdain, "I won’t tell you anything, and do you think you’ve won?"

"I certainly already..."

Boom!

A sinister burst of blood-colored energy exploded behind Wen Wen, causing his hair to flail wildly and his complexion to suddenly darken.

The source of this blood-colored energy was that very Rune Book of Lofvis!

The Puppet Wen Wen used was directly crushed by this blood-colored energy, which then shot straight into the sky, as if opening a crack in the void.

Behind the crack was a grayish-white world—it wasn’t the Gray Mist Layer...

It was the Inner World!

On the Rune Book floated a massive rune, extremely similar to the one in Ning Zhewan’s room but dozens of times larger.

Now Wen Wen finally understood what that partially blood-covered rune on the floor of Ning Zhewan’s room was.

It was a ritual to summon the Evil God!

"What is this?"

Wen Wen punched Xia Weiyi in the eye socket, demanding rapidly in his tone.

Xia Weiyi let out a hysterical laugh, "It’s a mighty entity from another world, a true Deity!"

"The resentment on Ning Zhewan’s body, along with those over seven thousand voters, were the sacrifices I prepared for the Deity’s descent!"

"Although the ritual wasn’t completed fully, making the sacrifices somewhat less effective, these were enough for the Deity’s descent!"
