Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 1231 The Fall of Gallanttan

The dark purple tentacles were still secretly expanding.

On the surface, those who were infected still pretended to be normal, fighting the monsters that attacked alongside the Hunter Association.

If this matter were exposed now, all the infected would immediately turn their weapons against them.

The Hunter Association would then face the monsters and enemies from within.

The most critical point was that the Hunter Association, at this current stage, could not distinguish who was infected.

If the matter were to explode, even if the Association were to win, the price would be too great.

Therefore, even though these infected were ticking time bombs, Wen Wen still had to watch the number of bombs increase until he found a way to defuse them.

The Knight of the Dark Night had to handle the superficial work first, so Wen Wen needed to resolve the matter before that.

The first thing was to retrieve the Museum of Mysteries. It was also a component of the original Containment Facility. Once it was brought back, the facility's strength would reach new heights.

...

"Wen Rui's aura has vanished. Is he dead?"

"This way, my plan will not be exposed before it is officially implemented. Besides him, no one should be able to discover my power."

"After all, this power actually originates from him."

"However, the Museum of Mysteries has also lost contact. And Ye Haimo, whom I sent to kill Wen Rui... something is not right."

The Great Sage frowned deeply. He did not know what exactly had happened to Wen Rui.

His abilities were not omnipotent. He only had a one-way connection with those infected.

Those dark purple tentacles could only transmit his commands unilaterally, and the controlled could not provide him with feedback.

The power from the Nameless King was born for destruction.

It was already quite taxing for him to keep the infected in their pre-infection state. At most, he could only transmit some commands to them beforehand and let them act on their own.

If he wanted to receive information in real-time from those individuals, even with the Great Sage's mental power, he couldn't bear it. His brain would explode.

"It doesn't matter. My momentum is unstoppable. No one can stop me now."

"In the end, this world will be destroyed, all life will meet its end, and I will become the apostle of the 'King,' destroying everything for him..."

"Lovely destruction, beautiful destruction, great destruction..."

Galenthan, the Dragon of Annihilation, suddenly raised his head and glared at the Great Sage.

"Human, why are my subjects dying one by one? This is not what you promised."

They were willing to emerge from the Abyss of Silence because the Great Sage had told them that no one in this world could resist the power of these subterranean monsters.

And now, his subjects were dying one by one, and he couldn't stop it.

"I didn't expect you so-called ancient overlords to be so useless," the Great Sage mocked.

Anger flared in Galenthan's eyes. Golden light shot out from his wings. Wherever this golden light landed, a massive mushroom cloud would rise, turning the vicinity into a living hell in an instant.

The Great Sage weaved through the mushroom clouds and flew into the sky a thousand meters high. Before he could steady himself, he saw the golden horn on Galenthan's crown flash with golden lightning, and then it opened its mouth towards him.

A golden lightning bolt erupted from Galenthan's mouth, dyeing half the sky golden.

The Great Sage extended his hand towards the golden lightning. A silver radiance emanated from it. The gold and silver neutralized each other, but after a mere second of resistance, the Great Sage was engulfed in the golden lightning.

After continuously spitting out over ten meters of golden lightning, Galenthan closed his mouth. The clouds in the sky and the smoke from the explosions were instantly swept away, leaving the entire sky exceptionally clean.

The Great Sage floated in mid-air, transformed into a battered and bloody mess. His outstretched arm was directly severed, and his clothes, hair, and even skin were destroyed by the immense power.

"Heh heh, heh heh heh..."

The Great Sage revealed a terrifying smile. Dark purple tentacles spread out from his body, and his body slowly recovered. However, it was evident that his strength had significantly diminished compared to the beginning.

"As expected of the Dragon of Annihilation, Galenthan. Among all the ancient monsters, only you are worth noting."

"The strongest of those other trash were only near the Disaster level, but you... you completely surpass ordinary Disaster-level powerhouses!"

"Your power is born for destruction. Even though I neutralized your power, I still ended up in this state."

"Only a creature like you is worthy of being my mount and accompanying me to destroy all other life!"

Galenthan tilted his head to look at the Great Sage. He was somewhat unclear whether this guy's brain had been fried by the previous attack.

The golden crown-like horns on his head lit up again, preparing to unleash another powerful blow on the Great Sage.

The Great Sage shook his head. "I am the Great Sage, the embodiment of wisdom. Do you think I wouldn't have considered facing this situation before releasing you?"

"I had actually prepared for your awakening long ago. The reason I dragged things out until now was for one thing: you..."

He did not finish his sentence. Galenthan's golden lightning had already surged forward, but this time the Great Sage did not dodge. The golden lightning surprisingly missed.

Galenthan's movements began to slow down. Dark purple tentacles continuously emerged from his body. His immense power could not be unleashed at all.

"To fully infect you, I spent ten years, six months, and seven days. It seems to be effective now."

Galenthan's thoughts gradually slowed, and his body became stiff. He said to the Great Sage, word by word, "Human—may you have a miserable death!"

The Great Sage shook his head. "A miserable death... Heh heh, heh heh heh... Hahahahaha."

His movements became incredibly erratic, and he began to laugh uncontrollably, it was unclear whether he was laughing at his plan or at the words "miserable death."

...

Creak...

Inside the Containment Facility, another door appeared. This door was the Museum of Mysteries.

Every exhibit here was an extraordinary containment item, at least on the level of the Amber Tyrannosaurus.

For the time being, Wen Wen did not intend to explore the items here. Once victory was achieved, he would see what good things were in here.

Now, he had more important matters to attend to. He arrived outside a prison cell in the Containment Facility. Clear snores could be heard from within; Wen Rui was sleeping there.

Wen Wen sat at the entrance of the prison cell and opened a novel. He would wait here for Wen Rui to wake up and then ask him about the nature of the Great Sage's power.
