CHAPTER 1082: 1080: INCIDENT

Yi Chen had experienced that feeling of being labeled as ’ingredient’, the concept of his whole arm forcibly seized and stored away, unable to be reshaped in any form as long as the concept of the arm exists.

This kind of concept theft is more terrifying than concept destruction;

it’s the unique ability of NO.2.

In the current situation, if Yi Chen’s answer to the question thrown by the other party contains any ambiguity or lies, he may be labeled again.

This level of existence from the other side also has the ability to search for answers within memories.

If he wants to retreat unscathed, he can only tell the truth,

"It’s not really a secret, nor is it my ability... but rather, the ability of a friend of mine."

Yi Chen briefly recounted the story about the flock girl,

and the NO.2 sitting opposite listened intently, "I wonder if Miss Lene, who is also part of the Tenth Disaster, has come?"

"No, she stayed with the crew in the City of Evil."

"What a pity, it’s rare to find something that fully piques my interest... Her palace might be the top-grade ingredient I’ve always been looking for.

This way, I might need to slightly alter my actions."

"Aren’t you supposed to have the Great Annihilation as your ultimate goal?"

Although Yi Chen was wary of the ability of the person before him, placing the Sick Focus matter at the forefront, if this person targets Lene, Yi Chen might make a rash decision.

The blond man in a suit responded to Yi Chen’s question with a friendly smile, "Of course, the existence of malice is to propel the advent of annihilation.

But before annihilation arrives, my personal desires are yet unfulfilled;

I’m unwilling to dissipate just like this.

Besides, given the current situation, even without much effort from me, Ruben will facilitate the annihilation ending... What I need to do is find the top-grade ingredients during the Great Annihilation.

Originally, I intended to savor the Gods crowned as "Supreme," but now it seems an extra item needs to be added to the menu."

The opponent had made his stance clear. In the past, Yi Chen might have directly battled the man before him, but being at the center of the war, he must consider the bigger picture.

He began to imitate William’s style, seeking opportunities in speech,

"Ruben’s ultimate goal is not the ’annihilation ending’,

He will create a world that completely obliterates the boundaries of reality and void using higher power after the annihilation ends and become the sole ruler.

Perhaps your situation might become dire."

These words made NO.2 pause slightly, but his expression did not change much. He slowly stood up, took off his brown suit jacket, folded it, and placed it over his seat. 𝙍ΑN𝙤BĘ𝙨

Walking steadily to the other end of the dining table, he rolled up his sleeves section by section with his fingers and secured them at the elbows with a clip he carried with him.

Standing behind Yi Chen, with both hands seemingly pressed against the chair back, Yi Chen felt as if they were pressing on his shoulders, he couldn’t breathe, and even felt countless tongues licking all over his body.

"Your ’speech skill’ is not proficient enough, far less so than the one resembling you, William, I can taste that such a speech skill is not your true intention;

you seem to be compromising on something.

Because I threaten your friend’s safety, so you try to divert the topic by pointing out my contradiction with Ruben, it’s too impure.

This world inherently reveres the strong, and the weak only become food on their plates.

And I, from Ruben’s perspective, am also a weak one. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been the one leaving the City of Evil back then.

If he has the ability to defy the root of the Great Annihilation, has the capability to create a new world, I am quite pleased to witness all this.

Unlike the Manager, I’m not rigid;

I just disdain living with the inferior and vulgar people.

Additionally, there’s one thing I haven’t told you.

I am a dietary purist, absolutely forbidding anything labeled as ’ingredient’ to fall into any place other than my stomach.

Your name is also on the menu of the Great Annihilation;

you should feel honored, as there are only a select few individuals chosen as my ultimate ingredient.

Hope your quality isn’t unacceptably low;

I am even willing to give you the opportunity to improve your quality, eat NO.7 within fifteen minutes."

A sand timer was placed on the table, seemingly symbolizing a countdown of life.

Yi Chen’s face turned completely gloomy as he lowered his head, "Oh? So, ever since we set foot here, you have already considered us as ’ingredients’, all conversations being one-way communication from the high to the low, mere emotional appeasement.

Even the food prepared for us was meant for cleaning the digestive tract."

"Very smart, indeed... I had long predicted Ruben’s arrangement to send personnel over, to exchange killing malice for letting Little Ye give me the entire asylum.

I thought only NO.7 would come, but I didn’t expect an unexpected gain."

Sigh... Yi Chen took a deep breath.

Drip~ A faint sound of a water droplet came from under the table,

The floor beneath Yi Chen’s feet had been completely eroded by the black water during the meal, even penetrating deeply.

With fully tense calf muscles exerting force at this moment, he stomped hard!

Boom! The canteen with a church structure suddenly quivered, the entire ground completely shattered, and the three fell simultaneously.

Being a concept, Yi Chen transformed into black water the moment the ground broke, immediately wrapping the old blind man’s physical form, accelerating the fall, striving to widen the distance from NO.2.

At the same time,

A special dumpling wrapped in black water was swiftly delivered into the old man’s mouth, and the prefrontal lobe he had just consumed began to regenerate, with the skull forming in sync.

...

[City of Evil]

After Yi Chen and the old man were sent to the seventh layer of Heaven,

The action proceeded to the ’third step.’

In the ancient mansion of the First Disaster, William was anxiously pacing while waiting here, immediately sticking to the ’Fake Ruben’ upon his return.

"Boss, why so long? Moreover, I don’t seem to sense Mr. Yi’s aura;

are they not back yet, could something have happened?

Shouldn’t we go pick them up first and then go to the Sick Focus?"

Ruben directly denied William’s suggestion, "No need."

It seemed he had long anticipated that the notification mission to NO.2 would run into problems, having no concern for the two disasters’ late return.

Additionally,

Ruben, who trusted Yi Chen due to the amusement park incident, had also privately discussed with him the matter of assassinating the Second Disaster, indicating that it wouldn’t matter if the action was brought forward.

Even if a severe disaster-induced infighting occurred, in Ruben’s eyes, it wouldn’t hinder the progress of the Great Annihilation, nor affect his process of establishing a new world. .

He had now reached a ’platform’ higher than everything else, and the Great Annihilation no longer required the entire Evil Circle to push it, he alone could do it.

"Prepare to depart, heading to the Sick Focus, just follow my current avatar."
