I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

The plaza lay in ruins.

Lafa's figure had already slipped into the Spirit World, vanishing without a trace.

Floey lay quietly at Chen Lun's feet, as if she had fallen asleep.

Chen Lun's face was grave as he surveyed the surrounding devastation.

After the dead tree and high wall had blocked that sword strike, Floey summoned a giant hand made of dead trees to grasp at Lafa. However, Lafa's body had completely entered the Spirit World, causing the attack to miss and only shattering the stone slabs of the plaza.

Immediately after that, Floey lost her strength and fell to the ground, unable to rise.

He quickly knelt down, picked Floey up, and began to check her condition.

"The mysterious contamination inside her body has become seriously imbalanced..."

Chen Lun thought this was bad news.

On the mission panel, the countdown for her continued to shrink, from the original twenty days to now just two hours.

"What a foolish girl."

Chen Lun took a deep breath, flipped his hand, and clasped "Wake of Insects" between his fingers, placing his palm above Floey's forehead. A luminescent green light flickered, and Floey's pale face turned rosy.

But his expression changed slightly.

Because he found that the life force he infused could only temporarily delay Floey's condition but could not remove the mysterious contamination. Unless the imbalance of contamination was resolved, her death was just a matter of time.

Furthermore, the "Sun-avoiding Potted Plant" inside her, upon feeling the power of "Wake of Insects," became extremely restless. Floey consequently furrowed her brows slightly, displaying a pained expression.

"Where exactly is that 'High Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance'?!"

Chen Lun thought to himself in silence.

If he hadn't been involved in these events, following the original trajectory...

Chen Lun, holding Floey, suddenly rose to his feet.

"Lafa..."

As a High Sequence Transcendent, only His incarnation could possibly contain that mysterious substance. Chen Lun, having realized all this, took the "Peeping Eye of Fate" out from the Grape Ring.

Wearing it, his Insight would exceed 30 points, reaching the minimum threshold to see into the Spirit World.

"To save Floey, I must kill Him!"

Chen Lun's eyes gradually became icy cold.

"Incarnation of the Saint..."

Experience exclusive tales on empire

After a brief clash, Chen Lun roughly sensed the strength of Lafa's incarnation, which was merely at the level of Sequence Seven. But His true body, having already transformed into a Mythical creature, possessed extremely rich combat experience and high-authority attributes.

In addition, with the "A-rank Mysterious Object - Bone Gallery" in His possession, an object transformed from a Saint who was once an Archbishop like Monroe, Lafa was very familiar with it, which caused His Combat Power to skyrocket.

But His true body was far away in the Royal City of Amber, and controlling the incarnation across the long distance to fight was like dancing with shackles on.

The power left in His incarnation was now very little, and Chen Lun was confident that he could kill Him and seize the Spirituality contained within His incarnation.

Although he was only a Low Sequence Transcendent of Sequence Eight, he had the Attribute bonuses from the panel, and aside from his Supernatural Power not yet undergoing a qualitative change, his actual Combat Power was already close to Sequence Seven.

Earlier, by using the advantage of high Hell Resistance, he had severely injured Lafa's incarnation with an incendiary Supernatural Flame bomb, causing Him to expend a massive amount of Supernatural Power to restore His battered body. This forced Him to interrupt His subsequent plans and retreat reluctantly from the stage.

Chen Lun planned to wear the Silver Pot and press on with the pursuit, seeking Lafa in the Spirit World.

But then he suddenly remembered something.

Turning his head, he saw Rosa clutching her brother Noah, utterly distraught.

The Supernatural Flame unleashed by Lafa's secret technique, "Moonshine," was immensely powerful. Rosa was somewhat disheveled from being slightly contaminated, and Noah had been reduced to a "blackened lump."

Noah was one of the future predetermined members of the team; he couldn't be allowed to die here.

Chen Lun, holding Floey, quickly moved to the siblings' side.

After examining with the "Peeping Eye of Fate," Chen Lun silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because Rosa had been using her own Supernatural Power to suppress the flames from harming Noah, he was still clinging to life.

However, his Life Points were at rock bottom and still decreasing. If not treated promptly, death was a certainty.

"Miss Rosa, I can save him."

Chen Lun said in a deep voice.

Rosa suddenly looked up, her face filled with hope. Tear stains had smeared her eye makeup, making her originally charming face seem even more pitiful.

"...Mr. Jack," Rosa solemnly said, "on behalf of the Silver Dragon Family, I request that you save Noah's life. Whatever you need, just say, and I will fulfill it."

Rosa spoke earnestly.

Chen Lun nodded without making a sound.

He hid the Wake of Insects in his palm and reached out his hand towards Noah.

Green fluorescent light flickered as the Sanity Value remaining in the Maggie Statue rapidly plummeted, and carbonized parts on Noah's body began to crack, then peel off, revealing the flesh beneath.

The skin began to heal over, as if he was being reborn.

Soon, Noah returned to his plump, boyish appearance, as if the previous injuries had been an illusion. However, his current state was quite disrespectful, with all his clothing burned away, leaving him naked on the ground.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Rosa's face lit up with joy.

She was about to reach out her hand and flick her brother in a teasing manner.

But she quickly realized that they were no longer children, so with a wave of her hand, a silver mist veiled Noah like gossamer.

Chen Lun, realizing that his own clothes had been burned to tatters from the recent battle, gently put Floey down and took out a clean set of clothes from the Grape Ring to change into.

Turning her head to look at Chen Lun, Rosa noticed that the black-haired youth looked somewhat weary, mistaking it as a sign of his exhaustion from using his Supernatural Power to heal Noah.

So, the gratitude in her heart deepened even further.

"Thank you very much for your assistance, Mr. Jack."

[Rosa's affection for you has increased! It is now Friendly!]

Chen Lun revealed a smile, and amidst Rosa's grateful gaze, he said:

"Miss Rosa, could you please take care of Floey for me? I will be back soon."

"Of course, rest assured."

Rosa nodded her head.

Chen Lun took a deep breath and picked up the Silver Pot.

Suddenly, he felt someone tugging at the hem of his clothes. Looking down, he discovered Floey had awakened and was looking up at him.

"Don't go..."

Her eyes closed tight, two trails of black tears streamed down from her eyes, crossing her pale cheeks.

Chen Lun silently watched her for a few seconds before slowly squatting down, supporting her against his shoulder.

"Floey..."

His expression became complicated.

Ever since their paths crossed and he intervened to change her Destiny, he inadvertently caused the Parasitism of the Sun-avoiding Potted Plant. Then, in search of that High Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance, he set out for the journey to Amber City.

His time and interactions with her during that period made him increasingly realize that this was no longer just a game, but a real and genuine world—a Miserable World with the supernatural.

Floey was a real person, not just a segment of false data.

She had her own thoughts and preferences.

But Chen Lun had never expected that, at the last moment, Floey preferred to exacerbate the mysterious contamination within her, using the power of the Sun-avoiding Potted Plant to block that horrifying sword strike for him.

"Actually, I'm very happy. These past two months have been the happiest time of my life...

If it wasn't for you taking me away, I would have never known that there are so many ways to cook, what café beverages taste like, how wearing an evening gown is uncomfortable yet pleasant, how moving operas are, and how dancing with you makes my heart race..."

Floey said with a smile on her face, her ethereal voice speaking.

Chen Lun looked at her, unable to say a word.

After a long pause.

"Don't say anymore, Floey. I promised you, I won't let you die; that's my commitment...

There is a larger world waiting for us to explore; we can't stop here!"

Chen Lun finished softly, placing the Silver Pot upon his head.

Boom!!
