Pretending To Be A Boss

It was as if time had come to a halt, the world frozen in this very moment.

It all began with tiny raindrops or perhaps debris and rubble; then, even the leaping flames became imprisoned.

After that, countless creeping spiders came to a complete stop, and even the iron-cutting creatures found themselves unable to move.

Like the coldest wind from the depths of the icy hell, it howled past, and everything was instantly frozen.

The overwhelming telekinesis continued to spread, causing a brief pause throughout the entire battlefield beneath the spider web.

For a moment, creatures like the Mystical Bird, Gorgon, Gold-Breaking Beast, Taowu, and other leaders all turned their gaze toward the source of this anomaly.

Bai Mansheng looked on in disbelief at this scene.

[Humans... can actually possess such power!]

The voice of the Mystical Bird was filled with incredulity.

On the other side, Tang Xian was already immune to human harm, so even though the telekinesis from the Element Mist could penetrate the spider web, he couldn't feel it.

But among the humans present, aside from himself, there was only the Element Mist.

Tang Xian was still pretending to be useless, playing the role of prey trapped in the spider web, secretly building up resistance to the Sinew Spider.

"It seems the Mystical Bird is muttering about Element Mist..."

This was an unexpected surprise, for the battle came much earlier than Tang Xian had anticipated. He had expected that one day he would be besieged by the Court of All Beasts, but he never expected that day to come so suddenly and without his noticing.

"The odds of victory have now reached forty percent."

The tyrant-transformed Akasi had a speed even greater than that of Lei Xiao. Even his other combat stats had obviously been enhanced.

However, the evolution of strength among tyrants was clearly not uniform, and while Akasi had indeed broken through to extreme speed, it came with significant drawbacks.

What realm Element Mist's tyrant had elevated his combat ability to was another unknown.

The terrifying telekinesis, as if changing the coefficient of gravity, made every presence on the battlefield feel restricted with every step.

But for calamity-level creatures, such telekinetic constraints ultimately only slowed them down a little.

They were capable of battle, merely astonished that the seemingly weakest human youth possessed such strength.

Throughout the process, Element Mist remained motionless, and when his blank eyes began to reflect a certain scene, that scene started to show absolute destruction.

Like shards from a shattered mirror.

In that moment, the horrific telekinesis converged within his gaze, tearing through the space where the iron-cutting creatures were, making the rifts visible to the naked eye.

As this sense of fracture increased, the iron-cutting creatures in Element Mist's view also fragmented along with the space itself.

Their bodies, torn into pieces, appeared as if slashed by the sharpest intention of the Gold-Breaking Beast, ending in myriad ragged shards.

A broken mirror can hardly be made whole, and even if pieced together, visible cracks remain.

All was as Ju Mang said, human love is beautiful and redemptive, but in Xi He's eyes, it was all a weapon.

Having met Tang Xiaojiu, Bai Mansheng, Tang Xian, Suzu, and Element Mist, he began to find redemption in life, but the experiences in the Evolution Zone were like indelible cracks on the mirror of his heart.

These cracks became his obsessions.

His telekinesis was thereby amplified into a rule-based ability.

Space rupture.

Within the area of his gaze, everything, regardless of combat strength, along with that space, would become fragmented.

No matter how fast the iron-cutting creatures are, can they outrun a glance?

The three-headed serpent, the iron-cutting creatures, and the six-tailed fox all retreated, and the beasts realized the unimaginable transformation this human had undergone.

This was the ultimate weapon crafted by Xi He, this rule-based power that gave even the strongest of beasts a dominant advantage.

Element Mist stared blankly at the shattered world in his eyes, his anger mixed with profound loss.

He had finally arrived in a world filled with human warmth.

In this world, people sincerely welcomed and liked him; in Baichuan City, no one treated him as a monster.

He had friends, with whom he could greet on sunny days, discussing pleasant and tranquil matters. When bored, he could go to the Fresh Sense Café, order a coffee, and sit quietly, idling away the time.

No one would make him fight to the death in a cage or command him to collect serum from a dangerous creature.

There was still a long life ahead of him, the bloody past seemingly washed clean since meeting Tang Xian.

But all this was forever missing one person.

The fury of the tyrant was far from over.

His lost and shattered gaze no longer looked toward the beasts; this powerful rule enforcement also meant that Element Mist's transformation into a tyrant would be even more fleeting compared to Akasi.

His regret and self-reproach for the broken mirror and his anger at Xi He did not drive Element Mist mad; instead, the moment he stepped into tyranny, he became clearer.

The dead were gone, and the living were still waiting for his protection.

No matter how angry he was, he was still the gentle Element Mist.

Element Mist's first gaze was towards Taowu.

Its immense figure was not easy to dodge, but Taowu moved quickly, displaying agility that belied its size.

The gaze only rested on Taowu for less than a second before Taowu hastily evaded it.
