After seeing Wen Wen, Grandy’s chaotic eyes brightened, and his face showed longing.
He actually had no thoughts or consciousness anymore. His reaction to seeing Wen Wen was merely his last lingering obsession.
That obsession was the pursuit of death, an unwillingness to be forever submerged in pain.
Wen Wen spoke no words and directly extended his right hand towards the flesh mass. Black chains snaked out, coiling around the entire embryo.
Ink-green energy appeared from nowhere, opposing the black chains. This energy was the strongest protection for the embryo.
However, this energy could not break through the seal of the black chains, let alone harm Wen Wen.
Seeing that the protective shield was ineffective, the strange fetus inside the embryo shifted its posture, facing Wen Wen directly, and began to utter words that were incomprehensible but chilling.
Indescribable sounds poured from its mouth, enough to drive ordinary low-level supernaturals mad, but Wen Wen only found it somewhat noisy.
The preparations he had made, coupled with the black chains providing some insulation against the sound, prevented the fetus from influencing Wen Wen at all.
Next, Wen Wen forcefully pushed his hand into the energy shield and began to absorb the energy within the shield.
In less than a minute, the black chains drained the protective shield dry and then inserted themselves into the embryo, starting to absorb the vast amount of corrupted energy within.
As the absorption began, the strange fetus became somewhat flustered. It opened its eyes, revealing pupils as dark as an abyss.
Wen Wen's consciousness instantly blurred. When he regained his senses, he found himself on a vast platform covered in green mist.
The platform was inscribed with bizarre, indecipherable runes, resembling an altar for some kind of ritual.
Then Wen Wen looked up. The moment he did, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly crouched down, covering his eyes.
He had just seen a colossal monster floating above the platform, with the upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a grotesque mass of flesh!
The monster’s distance from the altar was unknown, but it appeared so colossal that Wen Wen’s perception of distance seemed to have gone awry.
And Wen Wen had an intuition that this was the source of the corruption, an evil god from another world!
He was actually facing an evil god!
No, if it were a true evil god, that single glance would have already turned him into a twisted monster.
That thing was merely a phantom, and Wen Wen should now be in the mental world constructed by the fetus!
He felt relieved then, having thought he was about to perish here.
The green mist on the altar swirled into a vortex, and from it emerged a tall, humanoid figure.
This figure had a round, bulging belly, a pair of large, tattered bat wings trailing behind its back, and a head covered in slimy octopus tentacles.
"Tsk, aren't you the fetus inside that embryo? Did you eat fertilizer to grow so fast?"
The tentacles beneath the octopus head wriggled, and it sternly addressed Wen Wen, "Stop, or you'll regret it!"
Wen Wen scratched his rear, narrowed his eyes, and said somewhat comfortably, "If I stop just because you tell me to, wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?"
"I can grant you eternal life!"
"Like that pathetic super-powered individual outside? I'll pass," Wen Wen said with some impatience.
The octopus head's eyes widened, and it roared at Wen Wen, "Damn human, you have no idea what true hell is!"
"I don't need to know."
Wen Wen moved, his body becoming a blur. He instantly reached the octopus head's position and punched forward, piercing its skull. The fierce fist wind made its body somewhat translucent.
Wen Wen was currently lacking in patience, becoming annoyed after just a few words.
While his intelligence was compromised in his Ruffled Baboon state, its power was the strongest among the physiques Wen Wen could currently utilize!
When combined with his Vampire physique, it represented Wen Wen’s strongest frontal combat state.
"Alas... it's just a phantom. It seems you have no way to deal with me and can only use these things to stall for time."
Seeing that Wen Wen was impervious to both persuasion and force, the octopus head became increasingly enraged. The tentacles on its face twitched, the force of their movement enough to kill a fly.
Wen Wen licked his lips and said, "Tsk, the tentacles on your face look quite chewy. If you cut them off and gave them to me to eat, perhaps I'd consider delaying a bit."
"Ah! This is too much!"
The octopus head could bear it no longer. It swelled up, transforming into a grotesque, giant octopus with countless tentacles, and it grew larger and larger, soon occupying the entire platform.
Wen Wen was startled. With nowhere to dodge, he quickly raised his hands to shield himself and shouted.
"Don't touch me!"
"Don't come near me!"
But soon, the octopus figure passed through Wen Wen’s body. Although it looked disgusting, it caused him no harm.
Wen Wen's face fell as he said, "Alas... this is also a phantom. Can't you play anything else? Stop scaring me."
The octopus head had its own grievances. It hadn't fully descended; only a portion of its consciousness had arrived, but it hadn't brought any power.
Moreover, Wen Wen was immune to its mental influence, which further rendered the octopus head helpless against him.
Therefore, all it could do was conjure illusory shadows to frighten Wen Wen.
"Never mind. It seems you're just a paper tiger. I'll head back outside then and absorb you completely as soon as possible."
Wen Wen touched his badge, concentrated his mind, and the illusion before him gradually disappeared.
The octopus head extended a pleading hand, filled with resentment, towards Wen Wen and said, "Wait, don't leave! Leave your name!"
"Heh, do you think I'll tell you?"
"I will find you, and then you will experience true despair!"
"We'll talk when you find me. Besides, by then, you'll just be bringing me gifts. A true man never changes his name or flees his surname. My name is Wu Wang. Come find me if you dare!"
After saying that, Wen Wen forcefully withdrew from this mental space, leaving the octopus head to rage impotently within it.
Emerging from the illusion, no one could stop Wen Wen from absorbing this energy anymore.
As the absorbed energy increased, Wen Wen could feel the Disaster Gloves subtly changing. Starting from his shoulders, blackness spread across his body, gradually expanding its reach.
Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice appeared in Wen Wen's mind, making him chuckle.
