The possibility of a hidden ailment within himself left Wen Wen with a lump in his throat.
Problems weren't frightening; what was frightening was not knowing one had them. Wen Wen's body was like a little superman's; ordinary illnesses simply couldn't affect him.
Moreover, he didn't even have a scar on his body, nor could he have developed a craving for medicine due to external injuries.
After much hesitation, Wen Wen swallowed a pill, ready to transform into the Disaster Warden at any moment.
As long as the universal medicine had any issues, he could immediately switch to the Disaster Warden state. His cataclysmic-level strength could suppress any anomaly.
After waiting for thirty seconds, the medicine began to take effect. Wen Wen didn't feel the pain that Wei Su had experienced.
The medicine's effect seemed to turn into a stream of water, impacting a certain barrier within Wen Wen's body. This barrier was what had previously prevented Wen Wen from awakening!
The obstacle hindering Wen Wen's awakening was as solid as a steel plate, while the stream of water formed by the universal medicine's effect was like strong acid!
That indestructible barrier was gradually softening and dissolving.
Wen Wen's eyes widened in pleasant surprise. The awakening opportunity he had been searching for so hard had come to him on its own after the plague was resolved!
However, Wen Wen was also secretly puzzled. The medicine's effect was impacting the barrier, which meant the barrier was deemed harmful to the body. But Wen Wen had never heard of such a hidden ailment.
Furthermore, it was obvious that Wen Rui was a superpowered individual, so as his son, Wen Wen shouldn't have such a problem.
But all of that could be put aside. What Wen Wen was most concerned about now was his own awakening!
The medicine continued to impact the barrier for five minutes. The barrier had begun to loosen, but the medicine's effect was subtly weakening. The barrier, which had started to loosen, was slowly recovering!
Wen Wen gritted his teeth and swallowed another universal medicine. If he missed this opportunity, he might have to waste another universal medicine.
After the second pill went down, the medicine's effect became fierce. The already precarious barrier was abruptly broken through, and the remaining medicinal effects began to cleanse Wen Wen's body, resolving minor issues that couldn't be called illnesses.
This meant Wen Wen was no longer troubled by hidden ailments, and no one could stop Wen Wen from awakening his superpowers!
Wen Wen excitedly opened his hunting terminal and searched for suitable cases.
"Next, I should find a special case to stimulate my awakening ability, similar to this sea urchin case..."
While halfway through scrolling, the hunting terminal in Wen Wen's hand dropped. His pupils suddenly dilated.
A malicious energy entered Wen Wen's body through the barrier opened by the universal medicine, flowing through his entire being.
Without any external stimulation, Wen Wen's ability awakened naturally.
But this ability seemed somewhat wrong. Wen Wen's sanity was rapidly disappearing, similar to his previous loss of control, but ten times stronger.
His eyes began to turn bloodshot, and a red aura emanated from all parts of his body. From afar, Wen Wen looked like a boiling pot constantly emitting red steam. This red aura was similar to rage, but more brutal, more insane, and utterly irrational.
He didn't even have time to activate the Disaster Warden's power before he completely lost himself.
Now, his mind had only one thought: slaughter.
Humans, monsters, ghosts, anything was fine; he just wanted to annihilate anything with consciousness.
Without his will, he didn't know how to open the cells, so he instinctively walked towards the room where the guards were.
His intuition told him that there were vulnerable humans there for him to toy with and kill.
Wherever Wen Wen walked, he left red footprints that also emitted ominous red smoke, causing the monsters in the surrounding cells to instinctively stay away from the corridor.
Step by step...
The closer he got, the more ferocious Wen Wen's expression became. His fingers opened and closed unnaturally, a twisted smile on his face, and saliva mixed with blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
The central administrator of the disaster zone, the man in the metal suit, instantly appeared beside Wen Wen. He stared at Wen Wen with utter shock.
Although the power emanating from Wen Wen wasn't strong, the hysterical madness made the man in the metal suit instinctively feel threatened. Hidden beneath the appearance of madness was a cold desire for slaughter.
Wen Wen was now very dangerous!
The man in the metal suit had the ability to stop Wen Wen at this moment, but he couldn't take action against Wen Wen because Wen Wen was the highest authority in the containment facility. He could not have any physical conflict with Wen Wen.
After walking for a while, Wen Wen found the guards. They were busy with their work, unaware that a crazy, bloodthirsty existence was approaching them.
When the guards saw Wen Wen walking towards them step by step, they stopped working. Looking at Wen Wen's瘋狂 appearance, their scalps tingled with fear, but they could only respectfully salute Wen Wen.
They were just ordinary people and didn't know what was happening to Wen Wen. They just thought Wen Wen was going mad again.
Wen Wen looked at each of the guards, his gaze filled with twisted desire. A guard looked up and stole a glance at Wen Wen, then froze.
In those eyes, he saw the vision of his own death!
What now dominated Wen Wen was the superpower he had always pursued, his own superpower: the insane power of slaughter!
Once this ability began to be used, sanity could not be restored without completing the act of killing. After completing the killing, the mind would become clearer, and the power would become stronger and purer. But at the same time, the desire for the next kill would become even more intense!
It was precisely because Wen Rui saw that Wen Wen, like himself, possessed such dangerous potential that he sought numerous methods to block Wen Wen's path to becoming a superpowered individual.
But now, this path had been reopened by Wen Wen himself!
...
In the old study, Wen Rui sat by the window, reading an old book. The dim kerosene lamp illuminated his face, giving it a unique charm.
Suddenly, his hand trembled, and the heavy book fell to the ground. For someone as devoted to books as he was, he didn't pick it up immediately.
"The spell has been broken. He's going to awaken his abilities?"
"This means the power he displayed earlier was not his own ability, but borrowed from external sources..."
After a two-minute daze, Wen Rui's lips curled up. "Interesting, truly interesting. Someone should be in trouble now. I really miss those days."
"You will definitely regret why you insisted on awakening your abilities, but it's your own choice, so you have to bear the consequences."
"But I'm even more curious about what secrets you hold. The power you displayed before couldn't be achieved by ordinary containment objects..."
Gradually, the atmosphere in the study became strange. Wen Rui's expression was normal, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
There was only one way to suppress the desire for slaughter: to find an even stronger desire to replace it. And Wen Rui chose the desire for knowledge!
Under this desire for knowledge, there was nothing he couldn't abandon!
