Chapter 1318: Opportunity

Opportunity

Ning Ruyu's eyes lit up!

"Master, are you finally going to take action to help Little Junior Brother?!"

"The infighting of the Calamity of Mockery cannot be interfered with by any external force. Otherwise, why would I have gone through such a large detour to force him to the Integration Faction?" The Red King shook his head helplessly. "...This step, Old Six can only walk it himself."

"But didn't you say someone cheated? This is unfair to Little Junior Brother!" Ning Ruyu's brows tightly locked.

The Red King spoke faintly,

"Ru Yu ah, you need to have confidence in your Little Junior Brother."

"Do you think your Little Junior Brother reached where he is today because of his good luck? Because of my help?"

"You are wrong..."

"The world only sees Chen Ling's high-profile rise, thinking he only relied on the Calamity of Mockery's innate strength to reach today. But in reality, he didn't rely on anyone."

"Everything he possesses regarding the Calamity of Mockery was snatched by him relying on his own abilities."

"No matter how cunning the cheater is, it is ultimately just opportunism. I believe that with Old Six's intelligence and wisdom, he will eventually find a way of Breaking the Deadlock... What he needs is merely an opportunity to turn the tables."

Hearing this, Ning Ruyu immediately asked: "Master, where is the opportunity?"

The Red King smiled.

He casually played with the small ball of imprisoned Thought Storm in his hand and answered unhurriedly:

"Isn't the opportunity right here in my hand?"

After speaking, a trace of faint red intent drilled into the Thought Storm.

Smack——!

The storm in the Red King's hand surged violently and was forcibly crushed like a Glass bead!

...

Ghost Mockery Abyss, Underground Palace.

Pfft——!!

The black-robed theatrical shadow sitting on the throne suddenly turned pale and violently spat out a mouthful of blood!

He staggered up from the throne, his eyes staring dead at a certain spot in the void. Brutality and resentment filled his pupils, as if he couldn't wait to tear that theatrical robed figure into pieces.

"Red King... You wait for me!"

"When I completely swallow the 'original ego's' soul and recover my strength, I will definitely go to the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path and smash your corpse into ten thousand pieces!!"

The black-robed theatrical shadow recovered for a long time and finally recovered from the backlash of his thoughts. He looked towards the main door of the Underground Palace, a ferocious smile hooking up at the corner of his mouth again, and slowly walked outside.

He was a personality born from Chen Ling's body, a product of the negative emotions Chen Ling accumulated after swallowing a massive amount of Audience;

He felt that the original ego Chen Ling was too cowardly.

A dignified Calamity of Mockery was actually bound by human values. For a group of neither fish nor fowl cheap Fusion goods, he voluntarily took the Vow Gu-Insect, left the South Sea Domain, got accused and abused by a group of fly-like commoners, and even turned around and left like nothing happened...

In this world, no one should have the right to threaten him;

In this world, no one should have the right to abuse him;

Since Chu Changqing used that group of Integration Faction people to threaten him, he should have backhandedly killed all the children of the Integration Faction, then united with the Calamity of Taboo outside to directly charge and smash the entire South Sea Domain;

If that group of commoners dared to curse him with even half a word, he should have immediately launched the Centipede army to slaughter the entire street on the spot, cut off their heads and stuff them into their asses!

But now it didn't matter anymore...

He had already defeated the original ego. He was now the new master of this body. From now on, he would use his own way to retaliate against this era.

Those humans who once had bonds with the original ego Chen Ling, he would kill them one by one with his own hands. This was not only his malicious taste, but also his way to completely sever the original ego Chen Ling's connection with humanity. Friendship and emotions were the most useless things. A King should be alone, stepping the entire era under his feet!

He had just used the Thought Storm to spread nightmares to everyone who had seen the original ego Chen Ling. One was to show off, and two was to tell everyone that the former Chen Ling was already dead, and the current "Chen Ling" had obtained a new life!

As for now...

Let's have some fun playing with the Ghost Mockery Abyss first.

The black-robed theatrical shadow slowly walked out of the Underground Palace. A massive centipede glowing with a hint of red intent was respectfully prostrating at the entrance of the royal palace, its body already covered in dust.

Six days had passed since Chen Ling started Slaughtering the Calamity. Immersed in the slaughter on the Stage, Chen Ling didn't feel the passage of time. But outside, Wu Yi had loyally waited for six days, not going anywhere during this period.

Firstly, because it didn't have such an urgent need to eat now. Secondly, because it was somewhat worried about the abnormal movements previously transmitted from the Underground Palace, worried about Chen Ling's safety.

As that familiar figure walked out of the royal palace, Wu Yi was first delighted, then suddenly froze in place...

It could feel that the King who came out this time... was somewhat different.

Seeing Wu Yi respectfully prostrating outside, a hint of ridicule and eerie glimmer surfaced in the black-robed theatrical shadow's pupils.

"It's you..." The black-robed theatrical shadow's mouth grinned to the base of his ears,

"You've been waiting here for a long time, haven't you? Are you waiting for me, or... waiting for him?"

Wu Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

An inexplicable chill surged into Wu Yi's heart. Its instinct was to turn around and flee, but in the next moment, a palm firmly pressed down on its long and slender body. The World-Ending oppressive feeling from the King of the Ghost Mockery Abyss directly imprisoned its figure!

This centipede was the trusted aide of the original ego Chen Ling. The black-robed theatrical shadow could feel that the original ego still liked this centipede very much...

Since that was the case, this centipede could not be kept.

The black-robed theatrical shadow's light chuckle sounded as if coming from the netherworld:

"In my royal palace, there seems to be some small 'toys' specifically used to deal with centipedes... Wu Yi, come play with this King, alright?"

...

Stage.

A fragmented theatrical robed figure fell onto the old wooden planks. The severed head faced sideways towards the densely packed Audience seats below. Chen Ling's pupils were unfocused and hollow.

Chen Ling was not dead.

This was the Calamity of Mockery's spiritual world. He was an "Audience", not a human. Even if his head was severed, there was no concept of "death".

Here, there was only one true death... that was being completely devoured by one's own kind.

The black-robed theatrical shadow was merely a personality born from Chen Ling's body. Only by devouring Chen Ling could it truly become whole. But Chen Ling was not like those other shriveled "Audience" members. The "information" contained within Chen Ling's soul was too massive. The black-robed theatrical shadow fundamentally couldn't completely digest it in one bite. If it tried rashly, it might cause split personality...

Therefore, the black-robed theatrical shadow's best choice was to cut Chen Ling into segments like cured meat and swallow a little bit each time, to ensure its own personality wouldn't be affected.

The black-robed theatrical shadow, currently preparing to torture Wu Yi, didn't notice that,

As a trace of faint red light flashed across the void, the pupils of Chen Ling's head, which was originally lying hollow on the ground, actually recovered a sliver of faint spirit...

Two faint rosy blushes surfaced from the corners of Chen Ling's eyes.
