"What is this world really like?"
"It’s just like this, where the strong can easily destroy cities and capture strongholds, while the weak can only helplessly endure, barely surviving..."
As he looked at Wen Yu enveloped in a halo of black and white light, Tang Hao unexpectedly thought of a conversation that had once taken place during the rescue mission of Tang Haofei, between the Sea King and another member of the team.
No...
This was no longer about capturing strongholds...
This was merely venting anger, this was simply slaughter!
Having never experienced those most difficult times, Tang Hao did not understand Wen Yu's ruthlessness, but strangely, he did not try to dissuade him.
One reason was that it was pointless—Wen Yu's decision could not be changed by anything.
The second reason was... he was also afraid...
One thing he had to admit was that at that moment, Wen Yu's methods and killing intent made Tang Hao feel deeply alarmed.
Gone was the kind and gentle demeanor of a godfather; what remained was pure rage and murderous intent.
Until corpses began to float up from the ocean below, a thick layer of them covering the entire sea surface—of course, more had long since evaporated with the vast amounts of seawater, completely vanishing from the world.
At this point, Wen Yu finally spoke again.
"Not enough!"
"Uh..."
Tang Hao responded with a nasal tone, his voice revealing no sign of joy or anger. Meanwhile, Wen Yu, while collecting the soul energy of these marine creatures, spoke to Tang Hao.
"These are still not enough. It is certain that there will be many remnants of the Sea King clan scattered throughout the Layered Battlefield. Now, Tang Hao, I want to assign you a task."
"To kill them, right?"
For some reason, Tang Hao felt a bit downcast, but he dared not refute Wen Yu's words.
"Yes, go to District Six, find the mountain puppets and let them assist you in eliminating the remnants of the Sea King clan… then..."
Wen Yu seemed to want to say more, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Then, in a flash, a yahagi clone appeared next to Wen Yu.
"Never mind, I’ll handle the rest myself."
"Um, godfather, is there anything else?"
Tang Hao hesitated to ask, while Wen Yu let out a cold laugh.
"Don't forget, that transformation array has been activated more than once! Besides the Sea King clan, there are bound to be other races... even humans who have betrayed this world! I will definitely capture all of them, not leaving a single one behind!"
"But..."
At this moment, Wen Yu made Tang Hao feel a chill all over. He wanted to offer some words of comfort, but he saw Wen Yu's indifferent eyes.
His words suddenly choked in his throat, while Wen Yu just looked at him. After a moment, he patted Tang Hao's head.
"Right now, Bai and I are already enemies... and they are Bai's people."
"Emotionally and rationally, we are adversaries, and unfortunately, I have the ability to eliminate enemies."
"So you see, it’s as simple as that. There's nothing complicated about it; it’s simply a quest for revenge..."
"Bai wants to kill me, right? Now that I have the initiative, even though I can’t find him, I can find these rotten fish and shrimp in the Immortal Heroic World! Since I can find them, why should I let them live?"
Wen Yu's twisted reasoning made Tang Hao's head spin, but upon thinking it over... it seemed to be true...
If it weren't for Bai, perhaps Wen Yu wouldn't care about these matters—after all, he didn't concern himself with these things. But with Bai involved, the situation became clear.
"So, don’t hesitate, don’t doubt whether what you’re doing is right..."
"At this point, any hesitation is weakness and unreasonable."
"All I can teach you is this; now, go do your job."
Hearing Wen Yu’s guidance, Tang Hao hesitated for a brief moment, but ultimately took his leave.
Wen Yu, on the other hand, looked at the slaughterhouse he had created with his own hands, smirking coldly as his main body and clone immediately dispersed.
The clone needed to deal with other mutated biological groups—besides the Sea King clan, there should be a few other treacherous races in this world.
