#178 - Chapter 178 Failed Possession
“The purpose of war has never been to create winners, has it?”
The instant Wu Wei grinned and uttered these words, an unbearable, intense pain flooded his mind.
This pain didn't stem from physical illness but from the tearing of his soul.
To elaborate, the essence of this pain was the entanglement and struggle between Wu Wei's thoughts and the Abyss Overlord's.
Thoughts, in essence, are the collection of values, ideas, concepts, and everything else.
As an independent individual, Wu Wei possessed his own independent thought.
Despite the Abyss Overlord's overwhelmingly powerful thoughts, they were not Wu Wei's own.
Their experiences, positions, and even their very natures differed greatly. Thus, when Wu Wei used Dark Infusion on himself, his own thoughts were immediately suppressed.
This suppression was an extremely dangerous act.
If the Abyss Overlord's way of thinking completely crushed Wu Wei's own, he might lose himself.
Fortunately, Wu Wei and the Abyss Overlord had vastly different ideas about war.
So, when Wu Wei used the Abyss Overlord's thinking to consider the war he faced, his soul immediately awakened.
【No, the purpose of war is to produce winners!】
Wu Wei's thoughts were torn apart, and uncontrollable ideas flooded his mind.
【The opponent's loss does not mean one's own win!】
【Moreover, even if subordinates fail, it doesn't mean they are worthless!】
As he thought this, Wu Wei's headache intensified.
The next moment, to the exclamations of Mara and others, Wu Wei convulsed and fell to the ground.
When Hell picked Wu Wei up, they were shocked to find that Wu Wei's right eye, marked with a black and red vortex, had exploded!
Blood mixed with a large amount of tissue fluid flowed from Wu Wei's right eye socket, a horrifying sight.
“Lord!”
“Lord, what's wrong?”
Amidst the calls in his ears, Wu Wei's consciousness began to fade, and he fell into a coma.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Wei suddenly opened his eyes.
“Where... is this?”
Wu Wei awoke on a vast, arid land.
On this dry earth, there was no sign of life.
It was like an absolute forbidden zone for life, inspiring awe.
Yet, on this arid land stood something Wu Wei recognized very well.
The Abyss Throne!
A throne similar to the Abyss Throne Wu Wei possessed, but older and more blasphemous, stood in the center of this land, with its back to him.
Moreover, to Wu Wei's surprise.
Countless dark congeals were swirling around the throne.
However, these dark congeals were somewhat different from what Wu Wei had seen in the past.
These dark congeals, surrounding the throne, had no violent emotions.
They were incredibly gentle, incredibly quiet, and to some extent.
These dark congeals could be said to be incredibly “well-behaved.”
They gently caressed the existence on the throne, like the embrace of a lover.
“....”
Seeing this scene, Wu Wei couldn't resist his curiosity and walked towards the throne.
He wanted to see what the existence on this throne looked like.
What kind of powerful being could make the violent and ruthless world of the Abyss show such tenderness.
However, when Wu Wei actually reached the front of the throne, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Because on the front of the throne, there was no physical entity, only a faint, shadow-like illusion.
This illusion was in the shape of a human, without discernible gender.
But in the right eye position of the illusion's head, it still retained an eye.
An eye marked with a black and red vortex!
In other words, the gentle dark congeals had only been gently caressing a long-gone illusion from beginning to end.
Even though the only thing left of this illusion's owner was this eyeball.
“You...”
Just as Wu Wei tried to communicate with the other party, this eyeball, with the help of the surrounding dark congeals, turned at an angle.
The black and red pupil looked at Wu Wei in the darkness.
The two stared at each other...
————————————————
“!”
At that moment, Wu Wei's body in reality awakened.
Seeing Wu Wei wake up, many, including Hell and Mara, felt their hearts sink.
Because in the instant Wu Wei woke up, the violent, mad, and indifferent aura that had been on him vanished.
Replaced by the aura emitted by the “weak,” but increasingly familiar, Wu Wei.
“Lord, you're finally awake!”
As soon as Wu Wei opened his eyes, he found himself in Hell's arms.
A group of subordinates were surrounding him, checking his physical condition.
Wu Wei shook his head, stood up, and quickly confirmed his current state.
Because at this moment, he really couldn't tell whether the area he was in was reality or another illusion.
The reason for this was that after Wu Wei accommodated a trace of the Abyss Overlord's thoughts, he began to feel that this illusion he was in, no.
The entire world he was in felt somewhat fake!
Just as Wu Wei was still confirming, he suddenly felt an itch in his right eye socket.
It turned out that because Wu Wei's right eye had exploded before, a newly born eyeball was growing rapidly.
In the aching pain of the new eyeball's gestation, Wu Wei's feeling of the world's falseness began to gradually disappear.
“Well, I'm fine.”
After the feeling of falseness disappeared, Wu Wei's state finally returned completely.
Wu Wei pressed his forehead and then said to his subordinates, who were worried about him.
“Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my body.”
“I was just being stupid.”
Wu Wei took a long breath and said with a smile.
“Lord, what exactly did you do just now?”
Compared to the brainless demons, the fallen angel Liz was the most nervous at this time.
Because the aura that Wu Wei had exuded before was too terrifying.
That extreme violence, that indifference to all life, that feeling of being at the top of all living beings, could never be possessed by Lord Wu Wei!
Because it didn't belong to him!
Wu Wei's answer did not disappoint Liz.
“Actually, it's nothing big.”
“It's just that I was almost taken over by the Abyss Overlord.”
“But his takeover failed!”
“I won!”
Wu Wei said the most terrifying fact in the calmest tone.
