Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 785 - 156: I Am Your Power...

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Wipe out these flies!"

"Boom!!!"

The explosion and wailing sounds echoing endlessly in the mind.

This is a dream...

But even knowing it's a dream, Tang Haofei still can't escape this state—like being pinned down by a ghost, his mind is clear, yet his body is completely out of control.

Blurred images flash continuously in Tang Haofei's mind.

Not just the recent battle and the loneliness between life and death, but more...

Nightmares from the previous life, comrades from the past, the smooth sailing of this life, and the supreme power in hand now...

Scenes shift one after another, then freeze on another face.

Tidy military uniform, black mixed with white hair, resolute appearance, and bright eyes...

"Tang Haofei..."

"I want to know, your attitude, are you more attributed to the Humans, or more to the Divine Beasts?"

"Then... for humanity... the Sea King control plan is imperative..."

"What, will you kill me?"

The memory of the secret conversation with Lin Haifeng flashes continuously in his mind. For Tang Haofei, this is a complete nightmare!

The entanglement of ideals and reality, the confrontation of principles and goals...

Looking at himself trembling all over, sitting across from Lin Haifeng, Tang Haofei seemed to return to that time, back to when he was forced by Lin Haifeng to make choices against his own heart...

A sudden thought flashed by.

"If I had killed Lin Haifeng earlier, what would have happened? If I had taken control over the Humans, what would have happened then."

In the next moment, Tang Haofei's consciousness fluctuated violently, the nightmare suddenly cleared!

...

"Huff... huff..."

Breathing heavily, everything from the dream slowly fades, becomes blurry. Yet, the conversation with Lin Haifeng persists in his mind.

"Damn this..."

Tang Haofei scoffed at himself, then shook his head vigorously.

A dream, just a dream, Tang Haofei deeply understands his identity and position—for lack of a better word, he is just a martial artist, can only be a martial artist!

And the highest leader of the Humans, only Lin Haifeng has the ability to sit in that position!

This is unrelated to strength—an excellent leader is not the strongest, but the one with the most comprehensive ability, highest prestige, most sensible judgment in the big picture, best at recognizing and using people!

In prolonged contact, although Tang Haofei has many grievances against Lin Haifeng, he has to admit that Lin Haifeng is indeed the only qualified person for the position!

The withering feeling in his mouth bursts incessantly, forcing Tang Haofei to get up from bed, slapping his cheeks forcefully.

The stinging sensation on his face slightly restores Tang Haofei's consciousness. Perceiving the swelling feeling in his mind, Tang Haofei picked up the cup on the table and drank it—here, the servant is considered responsible, everything from snacks to beverages is available in the room.

The icy liquid passed through the esophagus, Tang Haofei exhaled comfortably—since the five times of Rebirth, Tang Haofei's state has been terrible, which Tang Haofei attributes to fatigue—at least in Tang Haofei's heart, that is the only explanation.

Waves of sleepiness surged, after drinking water, Tang Haofei crawled back into bed once more.

Consciousness began to blur, dreams slowly emerged, then, Tang Haofei vaguely saw the figure in the dungeon.

"Did my death have any value?"

Xie Yan, Lin Haifeng's pawn and subordinate, ruthlessly pushed into suicide in the Sea King control plan, asked with a blank face.

"It did..."

The same answer as before, yet, Xie Yan slowly lifted his head.

A weird smile appeared on Xie Yan's lips.

"No!! My death had no value!"

Tang Haofei paused suddenly...

"Why have the Sea King control plan, why does Lin Haifeng sacrifice us loyal subordinates! Why can't we see the sun of tomorrow! Why! Why!!"

The sorrowful roar echoed throughout the dungeon, afterward, Xie Yan's expression calmed down.

"Tang Haofei, why did you agree to Lin Haifeng's Sea King control plan?"

"I..."

Tang Haofei's tone stuck, a sudden thought crossed his mind, and in the dream, Tang Haofei simultaneously spoke.

"The Sea King control plan is for the Humans, controlling the Sea King can exponentially improve the Humans' overall strength..."

This is Tang Haofei's true thought.

But...

"The mindset of a weakling..."

Xie Yan's expression was icy cold: "Do we need the Sea King? Do we need the Sea Clan?"

"No! We don't need it! We don't even need Lin Haifeng, we don't need this Yanjing Assembly Site, we need you..."

"I..."

"Tang Haofei, you can destroy a Demon Clan City similar in scale to Yanjing Assembly Site, you can kill without restraint on the seventh floor of the Heavenly Palace, you can easily eliminate Level 7 Breakthrough Achievers and Level 7 Limit Breakthrough Level demon spawns of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, you still have 6 resurrection chances now, your strength is so strong, you obviously can solve everything with absolute strength, why are you with Lin Haifeng, fiddling with these things that make everyone furious?"

"The entire Yanjing Assembly Site combined isn't enough for you alone, why do you listen to Lin Haifeng, why are you colluding with him, calculating me? Calculating Qin Tian? Calculating Wen Yu? Why..."

Tang Haofei had no words to say.

A thought arose in his mind: "Yes, why..."

...

"No! It's not like that! I didn't have the strength at that time! Besides, individual power can't handle the apocalypse, can't handle the Demon Tribe…"

Tang Haofei's argument flashed through his mind briefly, and the next moment, the scene abruptly changed, with Wen Yu's figure appearing before him.

"I want to kill Lin Haifeng!"

Looking at Wen Yu's angry face in front of him, Tang Haofei gently sipped his coffee, then said calmly, "Then go ahead…"

Then, the scene shifted again…

Tang Haofei watched as Wen Yu broke through the defense line of the Yanjing Assembly Site, dismantling the gigantic Xuanwu War God into scrap metal, and then Tang Haofei stood beside Wen Yu, looking at the tragic death of Lin Haifeng on the ground.

"Satisfied?"

"Thank you…"

Wen Yu expressed his tired gratitude, but there was no post-vengeance satisfaction on his face—revenge feels good for a moment, but the subsequent issues…

"What about the Yanjing Assembly Site? What about the humans?"

Wen Yu thought of these things.

Tang Haofei shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, everything is on me…"

After speaking, Tang Haofei looked at Wen Yu beside him with a full smile, and the next second, Tang Haofei grabbed Wen Yu's neck, then, a wriggling, maggot-like white worm was directly stuffed into Wen Yu's mouth by Tang Haofei!

"But, these things, I can't handle alone… So, Wen Yu, my friend, my comrade, my ally, my brother…"

"Are you willing to help me?"

...

The scene shifted again…

Tang Haofei sat high on the giant chair meticulously crafted by the people below, looking at the shadows below.

"Master, the Demon Tribe has been cleared from Earth, what should our next step be?"

"Next step?"

Sitting at the highest point, Tang Haofei sneered softly, then stood up.

The majestic power instantly diffused across Earth!

"Wait for my return…"

The next moment, the scene changed once more, with Tang Haofei in an unknown space, watching a struggling figure in front of him.

"Dominator… state your last words…"

The unclear figure slowly raised its head: "I didn't expect…"

"Bang."

The head exploded like a watermelon, and looking at the corpse at his feet, Tang Haofei's face held a faint smile.

"Sorry, I don't want to hear it!"

...

The sunlight in the sky slowly spilled down, with Tang Haofei floating mid-air, the light emanating from him continuously, even more dazzling than the distant Sun!

"We won! No… I won!!!"

Like a voice of a divine being instantly spread across the globe, followed by enthusiastic shouts from below: "Long live Tang Haofei! Long live Tang Haofei…"

A voice as if talking to oneself arose: "So, why follow behind Lin Haifeng like a tagalong? What chemical reaction would occur from the Life and Death Battle Execution and the Challenger Trial, have you never thought of that? You can't even see your own strengths, merely placing humanity's hope on Lin Haifeng…"

"Why must the powerful be dictated by the weak?"

"Why can't the powerful do whatever they please?"

"Why can't the powerful become lofty divine beings, controlling everyone's life and death? Orchestrating the fate of this world with one hand?"

"Why? Why…"

"Do you see it? Standing above everyone, controlling their life and death, do you feel this…"

A wave in consciousness: "No! This is not right…"

"Why is it not right? You wanted to expel the Demon Tribe from Earth, you wanted to uncover the truth of the apocalypse, you wanted to escape the Dominator's control, hasn't all this turned into reality?"

"No… No! It shouldn't be like this!!!"

In the next second, Tang Haofei opened his eyes wide!

...

"Who? Who's scheming against me?"

"Hehe…"

A chuckle arose deep in his heart.

"It's me…"

"You…"

"I am your strength…"

Tang Haofei only felt a dizziness, in the deepest part of the soul invisible to the naked eye, Tang Haofei's Soul Body sat quietly in place, the next moment, a black breath slowly emerged from inside the Soul Body, painting Tang Haofei's Soul Body as black as ink, then slowly dissipated.

"Bang…"

The sound of falling reverberated, Tang Haofei collapsed directly onto the bed, then loud snores ensued.

...

"Oh…"

In the distance, the Demon Lord lying in bed slowly opened his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh.

"The cost of power…"
