It has been proven that the solidity of the soul connections created by the soul creation technique is indeed extraordinary.
Even when separated by two realms, information from Little White can still reach Wen Yu.
Regas's determination, Zero's attitude... everything, not a single detail escaped Wen Yu's ears.
Zero's attitude is quite understandable—restrictions do not mean everything. After escaping with her life, whether Zero becomes a traitor or a proper demon is entirely up to her own mindset.
In reality, Wen Yu never really regarded Zero as a significant factor. However, after Regas issued the command to engage in battle once more, it seems Zero's situation... has become complicated again...
Regas's attitude is even more interesting.
As a member of the Supreme Council, responsible for a major war zone, having already suffered defeats in the first two zones, if the African war zone fails again, Regas's life will certainly not be easy.
Right now, he does not care about how the battle situation unfolds; he simply wants to preserve the name of the African war zone.
Without a war zone, can one still call oneself commander-in-chief?
He cannot let go of this power, which also means there are still many points to exploit—at least for Wen Yu, there is now a source of "food."
Regas's determination has a significant impact in Wen Yu's eyes, and the intelligence he gathered is very helpful. After a brief consideration, Wen Yu made several arrangements based on the meeting's content and then no longer paid attention to the matter.
Clear footsteps echoed outside the Soul Laboratory, and after a moment, Arcade's figure appeared at the end of the cave in the laboratory.
The one coming to collect the debt...
Fortunately, Wen Yu truly has the time to fulfill the promise he made to Arcade earlier.
...
"Wen Yu, big boss."
Arcade's expression was calm, his body radiating vitality. It seemed he must have been doing a lot for Wen Yu during this period.
"Sit."
Wen Yu smiled and nodded at Arcade, as he always treated those who genuinely helped him with kindness.
Arcade hesitated for a moment, looking at the green vines covering the ground, resembling the vines rooting into the mountain puppet's body, unsure of where to step.
At this moment, the vines on the ground stirred slightly, a series of unnerving sucking sounds echoed in the Soul Laboratory. Remembering the mountain of demonic creature corpses he saw outside the laboratory, Arcade immediately understood Wen Yu's state.
Without stepping outside, merely relying on the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's spreading ability, placing it outside the mountain puppet's body, the puppet legion would naturally supply the demonic corpses for the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to consume...
This truly reflects the reality of gaining strength while lying down.
"Let’s skip the formalities; it seems there’s no place for you to sit. Let’s quickly resolve the issues with your body and put your mind at ease."
Wen Yu said, and then a surge of purple light erupted beside him. A purple rune appeared out of thin air, and then Lolo's body peeked out from the soul realm space.
Through their mental connection, without needing Wen Yu to say much, Lolo already understood her task. The surrounding space trembled, and in a moment, a palm-sized ant appeared on the ground, scuttling towards Arcade.
The sharp mandibles pierced through the skin; the tiny bit of defensive ability provided by his physical condition couldn’t even block the ant’s attack...
Imagining the troubles brought by his low physical condition during this time, Arcade couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. He felt a sensation akin to mosquito bites, and then the strange toxin enveloping his body began to flow out slowly through the wound.
Strength was starting to return...
...
The gap in power often signifies not just a "gap in strength," but also a disparity in levels, just like the current relationship between Wen Yu and Arcade.
As the second in the human race ranking and one of the strongest beings in this world, the toxin problem that had troubled Arcade for a long time was really not a big deal for Wen Yu.
