The dazzling light, hotter than flames and imbued with powerful purifying properties, swiftly dissolved the scarlet qi enveloping his body, akin to snow beneath the scorching sun.
If it hit, even the monster Wen Wen would undoubtedly lose a significant portion of its combat strength.
But the monster Wen Wen sharply sensed the formidable power of the attack, its chains whirring rapidly as a monster clad in armor and wielding a shield positioned itself in front of him.
The potent beam struck the monster, which, with Disaster Level strength, was melted away by the light. However, with its sacrifice, the remaining force was insufficient to harm the monster Wen Wen.
The monster Wen Wen landed on the ground, gazing ominously at Wen Wen while clutching his hair with his remaining hand, emitting an impotent roar.
He realized he had been completely overpowered in that brief encounter!
"Why are you stronger than me? This isn’t fair!"
"For half a year, I’ve been fighting, always suffering, you shouldn’t be stronger than me!"
He pulled more aggressively, yanking out clumps of hair without feeling any pain.
Wen Wen watched, feeling a tingling on his own scalp. Did he harbor a fondness for self-harm deep within his own psyche?
So, he pondered for a moment and realized that it wasn’t so surprising for someone who often found pleasure in battle to have such a quirk...
The monster Wen Wen became even more agitated, pointing at Wen Wen and saying, "It shouldn’t be ; you’re just a lucky coward, scared of your true self—a wimp!"
He continued to ravage his body and when his sinful hand reached below the waist, Wen Wen couldn’t bear it any longer.
No man wants to witness his own castration.
Thus, he leaped upwards, recoiled from the ceiling, and with steel rods in hand, stabbed towards the monster Wen Wen.
But the monster Wen Wen suddenly looked up, the corners of his mouth curving into a mocking smile.
Wen Wen was startled and forcibly changed his direction, then with a flick of his toes, he retreated over ten meters.
He recognized that smile!
He’d often worn it himself when deceiving others!
Sure enough, Wen Wen felt something was amiss as soon as he stopped. He found himself struggling to stand.
There was nothing wrong with his own state, it was space that was altering. The walls changed color at a visible pace, revealing bizarre, asymmetrical oil paintings that provoked an extreme sense of spatial distortion.
It wasn’t just a disruption to the senses like outside. The very fabric of space seemed affected, as if Wen Wen was standing on flat ground yet inexorably sliding down, as though on a slope of eighty or ninety degrees.
If he had recklessly approached, he would have been severely disadvantaged by this strange spatial distortion.
"He still has this annoying ability?"
Wen Wen looked at the monster behind the monster Wen Wen, covered in strange oil paintings on its face and body.
"That ability belongs to that monster; it can compel other monsters to use their powers for him through the chains!"
Wen Wen regarded the monster Wen Wen warily. If his thoughts were correct, then this guy was far more troublesome than many of the monsters he’d encountered before.
"Everything about you should be mine... You don’t deserve to have that thing!"
Seeing that his ambush had failed, Monster Wen Wen became even more agitated, hopping around like a child whose pocket money had been taken away.
However, he was already in an uncontrollable state, so expecting him to remain calm and composed was asking too much.
The giant chains picked up the arm that had fallen to the ground, attaching it to his own limb, and after a hissing of blood-red smoke, the severed arm was reattached.
Then, as Monster Wen Wen muttered incomprehensible words, his body rapidly inflated, clearly becoming stronger.
Wen Wen observed calmly, "The thing in his mouth must be the Sanctuary... so I indeed obtained the Sanctuary here, but for some reason, it split into two people, one stayed here, the other returned to the real world..."
"Wait... now that I think about it, my mental issues seemed easier to control after I went back, there have been only two close calls with losing control during this long period, and it has been getting more stable recently... I thought the improvement in my mental issues was because I became a superpower user, but now it seems, the crazy part of me was left here."
Before obtaining the Sanctuary, Wen Wen had voluntarily gone to the mental hospital, partly because he wanted to get a certificate of mental illness, but more so because his mental disorder was becoming increasingly difficult to control.
With just a little stimulation, there was a risk of losing control.
"At the same time... he must have taken away part of the Sanctuary’s abilities, and I have to take that part back."
No matter how you look at it, the pitch-black chains and the ability to manipulate monsters through them must be related to the Sanctuary.
The space around became even more chaotic, normal balance senses ceased to function entirely, and the changes in Monster Wen Wen’s body had stopped.
Wen Wen sighed and said, "It looks like you’re ready for battle, but this time I won’t hold back, I can’t allow an uncontrollable me to exist, I have to kill you... and then take back the part of the power I lost!"
Green streams of data enveloped Wen Wen, who was now prepared for battle.
Frankly speaking, although both sides were Wen Wen, this was an unfair fight.
The advantage Wen Wen had was too great, the Sanctuary had given him many powerful abilities, whereas Monster Wen Wen likely had nothing but those chains.
Moreover, his foundation was too weak. Although he radiated Disaster Level Qi, his fighting had no method to it, without any systematic training, his fighting style looked more like that of a Wild Beast than a superpower user, with only the madness-inducing gas posing a bit of trouble.
However, Wen Wen had no intention of fighting him on fair terms.
Since spatial senses had already been disrupted, there was no point in using terrain for attacks, close combat would play to Wen Wen’s strengths!
So Wen Wen easily ran up to Monster Wen Wen, swinging rebar, engaging in close quarters combat with Monster Wen Wen, whose body had swelled several sizes.
The fight was extremely easy for Wen Wen, even as his adversary fought with Perverted combat instincts, he was firmly suppressed by Wen Wen, who wasn’t even using his full strength.
In the beginning, losing control would make Wen Wen’s combat ability stronger.
But as he became more familiar with battles between superpower users, losing control now actually limited his performance.
And Yan Biqing’s physique, the calmer it was, the better it could perform.
The more Monster Wen Wen fought, the angrier he became; no matter how much Strength he used, Wen Wen would shatter it with precision.
After only a few breaths of fighting, his body had already been pierced by the rebar more than a dozen times, and were it not for the smoky Qi around him that allowed for rapid healing, he would have been slain by Wen Wen by now.
