Pang Peng and Liu Shang turned their heads at the same time, looking at Wen Wen in surprise.
Had this guy gone mad? In this situation, he still dared to confront the two of them. What was his basis?
However, before Wen Wen could finish speaking, he painstakingly turned his head slightly and said to the two, "When did it become your turn to decide what I should do? I still have a pile of questions to ask!"
"Who are you two, where do you live, and who is the mastermind behind you? What are you trying to find from me? Does the Abnormal Association of this town know? If they don't, you have violated your agreement with the Association, and I will treat you as monsters."
Wen Wen's words became more and more arrogant, even Liu Shang frowned.
"As long as you sign the confidentiality agreement, we can let you go. But if you continue with this attitude, don't blame us if you die here."
Contracts were a product of the Inner World's influence on the real world deepening.
They might appear as mere pieces of paper, but they were more akin to rules popular in the superpower society. Superpowers found it difficult to go against contracts once they were signed.
However, contracts had to be signed voluntarily to be valid; even signing under the manipulation of superpower was invalid.
Different contracts had different effectiveness. For instance, the employment contract of the Hunter Association was quite powerful; once violated, one might even choke to death while drinking water.
Even with ordinary contracts of low effectiveness, superpowers were unwilling to go against them. Sudan Novel Network
If one truly weighed the pros and cons, as Liu Shang said, signing the contract to quell the situation was indeed a good choice.
There was no need to offend the Glorious Church, nor to fight the angel in front of him, who looked very powerful.
But Wen Wen didn't want to weigh the pros and cons; he only wanted to follow his heart!
Wen Wen never considered himself to have a conscience, nor did he ever place himself on the side of justice. He had always adhered to his bottom line: some things could be done, and some things could not, and if they were done, there would be consequences!
Even before he started becoming a pervert, he understood that those who often spoke of justice were not necessarily righteous individuals, and what seemed high-minded was not necessarily the truth.
As for the death threats from Liu Shang and the other one...
Wen Wen almost burst out laughing.
Was he afraid of death?
Perhaps he was. Besides perverts like Chu Wei, how many people could truly be fearless of death?
But the threats from these two were a joke in Wen Wen's eyes. He had just used a small trick to eliminate the Blood of Blasphemy's branch in the Hua Prefecture region. Even offending the Glorious Church further wouldn't be a big deal.
Moreover, could these two weaklings represent the Glorious Church?
So, after Liu Shang's brief admonition, Wen Wen's expression became even more arrogant, looking exactly like a street thug extorting protection money.
However, the words he spoke were full of righteousness: "From this moment on, every word and every action of yours will be presented as evidence, determining your ultimate fate!"
Liu Shang and Pang Peng exchanged glances, a trace of killing intent flashing in their eyes. Since Wen Wen was so unappreciative, he deserved to die.
Pang Peng shook his wrist and grinned sinisterly, carrying his greatsword to Wen Wen's side.
"You can't even move, yet you dare to provoke us. I don't know if you're bluffing or truly clueless, but it doesn't matter anymore."
He raised his greatsword, looking at the sword marks on it with a hint of pain. This sword and armor had been passed down through generations of the Glorious Church; no one would replace them if they were damaged.
But Wen Wen's short sword and its scabbard should be a good spoils of war.
Thus, Pang Peng swung down.
Of course, he predictably missed, as Wen Wen had already disappeared from his spot.
Pang Peng and Liu Shang looked at each other, bewildered. This person had just spoken righteously, and now he had suddenly vanished?
...
At this moment, inside the Disaster Containment Facility, Wen Wen had a slight headache.
He was immobile outside. To switch states, he had to return to the Disaster Containment Facility.
However, he was having trouble deciding which physique to use to fight.
The skinny-fat duo was easy; Wen Wen could kill them easily with his full strength. But the angel was a bit tricky; it had at least the strength of the Assimilation Realm!
"I could solve it with the Philosophy Bracelet, but I'm somewhat reluctant to use it."
Wen Wen didn't want others to know that a hulking figure like the philosopher was him, not even the dying.
So Wen Wen went to the prison in the disaster zone. He wanted to check Yan Biqing's recovery progress. If he could use Yan Biqing's physique, that would be ideal.
Activating the Disaster Prison Warden state and holding an iron rod, Wen Wen appeared in the prison and struck the sleeping Yan Biqing on the head.
Wen Wen didn't use much force with the rod, so Yan Biqing noticed it and didn't get hit.
Yan Biqing didn't know why Wen Wen was hitting him, but he wasn't one to passively await his fate.
He first adjusted his agility to its limit, dodged Wen Wen's several attacks, circled behind Wen Wen, and then adjusted his strength to its limit, punching at Wen Wen.
But as the punch was halfway thrown, Yan Biqing was entirely ensnared by black energy, unable to move.
Although the Disaster Calamity and Disaster realms were only separated by one level, the gap between them was unimaginably vast.
"You haven't fully recovered, but you're usable. Combined with that thing, it should work."
Usable?
Was this Disaster Calamity realm monster planning to release him to carry out missions?
But before Yan Biqing could figure it out, Wen Wen disappeared from the prison, leaving Yan Biqing utterly bewildered.
After coming out, Wen Wen chose the vampire physique and Yan Biqing's physique as his combat bodies to face the angel.
After switching physiques, Wen Wen didn't feel an explosive increase in strength; it was the same as when he used only the vampire physique.
But a strange feeling lingered in his heart. Wen Wen's attributes seemed to have become numbers, and he could move these numbers freely.
He narrowed his eyes, a barely visible green energy coating his arm, and then threw a punch. It surprisingly produced a thunderous roar out of thin air, with fierce fist wind comparable to his philosophy form!
Then, green light appeared on his feet, and Wen Wen dashed around the room, creating several afterimages in an instant.
Stopping, Wen Wen showed a satisfied smile: "The strength can rival the philosophy state, and the speed even surpasses it... However, when speed reaches its limit, strength is correspondingly reduced, and when strength reaches its limit, speed is very slow. But the speed of switching is very fast."
"Strange, Yan Biqing's previous strength was not this strong... and he hasn't fully recovered yet."
Wen Wen quickly understood after a moment of thought: "The ability to datamine bodies I'm currently using, although not complete, already performs better than Yan Biqing. This should be because my body's basic quality is superior to his."
However, Wen Wen knew that the true power of Yan Biqing's ability didn't lie in strength and speed; those were merely the most basic applications of the ability.
The real power was that he could allocate all his attribute points to any aspect, whether it was reflexes, vision, smell, or intuition. As long as Wen Wen wished, this one ability of his could reach the Disaster realm level!
This meant Wen Wen could adapt to any combat condition!
And the stronger the foundation, the more powerful this ability would manifest. If Wen Wen could capture another Disaster realm monster, then his strength...
"That angel seems like a good choice..."
Wen Wen mused, stroking his chin.
