Chapter 1283: Ring

Liao Xingchen was startled; even Charizard, who was roasting the snail, and Wo-Chien, who was being roasted, turned their gazes over.

Then, they all saw the gentle, refined smile on Lin Sen's face, even though he was in a sorry state.

Wo-Chien knew that such a smile from its ally was a disguise. Since its seal was broken, Wo-Chien had been following Lin Sen.

This period was not long, only a year or two, but for Wo-Chien, it was the first time it had met an ally who shared its ambitions. Together, they had wantonly plundered life force and traveled between various weak alliances.

Then, not long ago, the Aokigahara Forest they were originally heading to was destroyed by the rampage of an unknown legend. For some reason, Wo-Chien was filled with fear at the blue flames it saw in that magical box called a television.

It was as if those flames were its natural enemy.

Because of the destruction of the Aokigahara Forest, they had to change their plans and came to this Viridian Forest, where they met this detestable human and Charizard.

Wo-Chien considered itself Lin Sen's closest ally, which was why it would rather endure the burning to protect Lin Sen first.

It was just a bit of pain; it had survived being sealed for such a long time, so what was this little bit of pain?

As an embodiment of disaster, it would not die so easily; otherwise, it wouldn't have been sealed.

But when gazing at Lin Sen's usual smile, Wo-Chien suddenly realized that it seemed to know nothing about this person's past. Their shared memories seemed to consist only of the constant plundering of life force, which it also viewed as the most intimate thing allies could do.

Wo-Chien knew Lin Sen seemed to be working for an organization, but the name, location, and even Lin Sen's superior were things it had never seen, and Lin Sen had never contacted them in front of it.

Lin Sen would only show a gentle smile after contacting them in private, and then take it to spread disaster.

Wo-Chien suddenly found that it could no longer see through the smile of this ally, Lin Sen, as if a thick wall separated them.

The distance between them seemed very far.

Enduring the burning of the flames, Wo-Chien widened its eyes, and a weak voice sounded through telepathy: "Ally..."

Lin Sen did not look at Wo-Chien at all, but instead focused his gaze on Liao Xingchen, laughing: "You have been fundamentally wrong about one thing. I did not choose to join the Nova organization because my research on the Treasures of Ruin was blocked; these things are irrelevant to me."

"Research blocked? Then do it in private, or change the target. The thing this world lacks the least is legends to serve as research subjects."

Liao Xingchen widened his eyes, as if re-recognizing this old friend from his youth: "Lin Sen, you..."

Lin Sen asked: "In your eyes, I seem to be a very good person, right?"

Liao Xingchen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

That was correct. In his memory, Lin Sen always wore a gentle smile, helped others enthusiastically, never cared about gains or losses, and lived an open and honest life.

Lin Sen seemed to be on a roll and didn't care about Liao Xingchen's feelings, rambling on: "But those were just illusions I faked. On that day, I touched the true 'self' and completely tore off my disguise as a normal person."

"I like to watch the expressions of people going from having victory in their grasp to despair. I like to watch disaster ravage the land and the panicked expressions of those humans and Pokémon. I want to destroy all order and bring complete disorder to this world."

Lin Sen wanted to touch his chest; his heart must be beating violently there, but unfortunately, he was bound and unable to move.

Even so, Lin Sen changed from his previous gentle calm and looked at Liao Xingchen with a fanatical expression, laughing wantonly: "Looking at that expression, you must want to ask me why, right?"

"Then let me tell you the answer: because from the very beginning... I was already broken!"

Liao Xingchen frowned at Lin Sen, his fists clenched: "You have completely... fallen into the demonic path."

"You are too dangerous. Take one last look at the sky; you will have no chance to see it again." Liao Xingchen closed his eyes, sensing

the scorching aura rushing in from behind at high speed, and sighed faintly.

"No, you are wrong." Lin Sen chuckled, looking up at the sky above his head. "Such a beautiful sky would look even better if it were stained red or black."

"Also, although you have been cautious enough to even lay down a spatial interference field that ordinary Champion-level Pokémon cannot break through."

"But, you are still too conservative, Liao Xingchen."

Suddenly, a very subtle fluctuation appeared in the space above Lin Sen's head, and a golden ring made of mysterious material slowly emerged.

Liao Xingchen opened his eyes quickly, stunned.

What is that golden ring? ===== CHAPTER 1284 =====
