Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 740 Gift of Power

Wen Wen naturally did not know of Maiyami's malicious intentions. Seeing that he was allowed to continue speaking, he began to tell the terrifying-looking fallen angel about his plan.

Maiyami's eyes grew brighter. If he followed Wen Wen's suggestion, he might actually have a chance to defeat that bug this time.

In the battle two thousand years ago, Maiyami had actually been utterly defeated.

The Cicada Ancestor had been nailed to the cross for the entire duration. After the battle ended, he was merely sealed by the cross again due to depleted energy.

As for Maiyami, the Radiant Angel, his body had been shattered into fundamental particles by the Cicada Ancestor and scattered evenly across every inch of soil in Xihong City. If not for his special abilities, he would not have had this opportunity to recover.

Therefore, although Wen Wen's method was absurd, it might actually allow him to defeat Maiyami. If he failed, he would simply die for another two thousand years. But if he succeeded…

He might become even stronger than in his prime. This was a rare opportunity.

Thus, his gaze towards Wen Wen turned somewhat dangerous.

Only he needed to be privy to this plan. Any more people would mean more risk of exposure. As for Wen Wen, who provided the plan, it would be safer for him to be dead.

"The arrow is in your hand, so what value do you still have to me?"

Maiyami's tone became menacing. Wen Wen understood that he was about to discard him after use. For fallen angels, this was just standard operating procedure. Demons at least adhered to contracts, but fallen angels truly knew no bounds.

Therefore, when dealing with fallen angels, one needed some insurance. Wen Wen had naturally made provisions.

"What you see is only the arrow. You still need the accompanying longbow to shoot this arrow and achieve your desired outcome. I was prepared when I came."

"That bow has been placed by me in a hidden location. As soon as I lose my freedom, or even if I am merely out of my senses for a second, that bow will be destroyed, and you will never have the chance to defeat the Cicada Ancestor again."

Maiyami's tone became menacing: "Are you threatening me?"

This question seemed to carry a peculiar power. All the small creatures around, such as snakes, insects, and rats, began to mutate, transforming into monsters resembling demons. Fortunately, there were no humans nearby, otherwise, this single sentence would have caused a tragedy.

"Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare threaten you..."

Wen Wen lowered his head subserviently, appearing utterly terrified, and then immediately said something else.

"I also have a special bomb hidden within me, capable of releasing flames that engulf everything nearby. The temperature is close to the limit achievable under a cataclysm. You, of course, would not be killed by such a thing, but it would affect your recovery to some extent..."

The earlier statements were indirect hints, but the latter was almost a direct threat.

Upon hearing this, Maiyami's eyes widened in fury. Wen Wen was pushed back dozens of meters by the corrupt energy emanating from him.

Wen Wen did not wish to court death, but Maiyami's nature was unpredictable. Being too timid might make Maiyami think Wen Wen was easily bullied, thus leading him to kill Wen Wen directly.

After being angered, Maiyami also scanned Wen Wen's body with his single eye and truly discovered a spherical energy body containing terrifying power.

If that energy body were to erupt, it would indeed cause significant damage to him, who had not yet fully recovered.

The so-called limit achievable under a cataclysm did not mean that those at the cataclysmic level could ignore it. Just like Wen Wen was only at the lower tier, but his speed of escape was generally faster than that of true mid-tier individuals.

Especially since Maiyami did not know the damage range of that thing, he dared not act rashly. Although he would not die from fully withstanding the power of that thing, Maiyami did not want to pay such a price for a weak fallen angel.

But to let this insolent ant go just like that?

The single eye on Maiyami's forehead spun twice, revealing a sinister smile.

He rapidly appeared before Wen Wen and extended his finger, its bones exposed, and touched Wen Wen's forehead.

An extremely powerful fallen force surged into Wen Wen's body, rapidly strengthening his fallen angel physique. Wen Wen's back began to itch, and then a bone grew out.

The bone was quickly covered with muscle and fascia, and then black feathers began to grow.

After one was completed, came the second, the third...

It did not stop until Wen Wen had five wings on his back.

Wen Wen licked his lips. This was a pure gift of power, so it did not have any adverse effects on him. After growing five wings, his Evil Light Angel physique immediately advanced from the lower tier to the upper tier!

This speed of advancement was something every superpowered individual dreamed of, but this was merely a casual gift from Maiyami.

"You must help me complete that plan. Having only lower-tier strength will not suffice. With such strength, it's possible to shoot that arrow into that disgusting bug's body with my cooperation."

Wen Wen touched the wings on his back and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If you were going to gift power, couldn't you have been more generous? What was with five wings, couldn't you have given one more?

Moreover, the position where these wings grew was somewhat awkward, not two on one side and three on the other...

Afterward, Maiyami and Wen Wen chatted for quite some time, appearing to have a sense of mutual appreciation.

Hei Wu returned and stood by the side, not interrupting their conversation.

Seeing this, Hei Wu thought they had a good relationship. He had no idea that Wen Wen had almost been killed by Maiyami just now...

After all the plans were clarified, Wen Wen smiled and waved goodbye to Maiyami, preparing to fly away.

However, these five asymmetrical wings felt uncomfortable to use. After thinking about it, Wen Wen directly pulled off the five wings, but did not completely sever them.

This action left Maiyami somewhat stunned. He had never seen a fallen angel destroy its own wings before.

After arranging these five wings, a flash of evil light emanated from Wen Wen, and the wings began to move.

However, they did not flap; they rotated...

The five wings spun like a fan, with an energy outlet in the center. That outlet spewed out black energy, causing Wen Wen to disappear from Maiyami's sight at a speed faster than that of ordinary fallen angels.

"Hahaha... In all my years of living, this is the first time I've seen a flying angel."

After laughing for a while, Maiyami's expression turned sinister. Was his power so easily accepted?

By accepting this gift of power, Wen Wen's life was now in Maiyami's hands. Once the plan succeeded, Maiyami only needed to think a single thought to take Wen Wen's life!

Unfortunately, what he did not know was that in a critical state, all of Wen Wen's enhancements would be transported back to the monster providing the physique on a one-to-one basis...
