The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 334 (Patreon)

Chapter 334

The approaching individuals were all top-level Taskers with soul strengths that violated regulations. They resembled Xue Zhengyang's previous state, their eyes red, expressionless like puppets, swiftly surrounding Helian Feng and launching an attack on him.

The collective assault seemed tangible. Despite being at a distance, Ling Chunann could feel the earth-shattering momentum. His pupils contracted, but in a flash, he caught a reassuring look from the man, prompting him to retract the subtle move he was about to make.

Yin Fu smiled, unconcerned about facing a god. "What does it matter if you've lost your divinity? Your power is now less than that of an ordinary Tasker," he remarked, underestimating his summons.

However, Helian Feng did not feel honored. With a mere wave of his hand, those attacking him silently turned into dust, as if the tangible killing intent and their presence were merely an illusion.

Yin Fu's smile froze, "Impossible, the divinity is with me now, I am the god, how can you still have power? I've planned for years, you were supposed to be dead, I have replaced the god, I am the god!"

Lost in his thoughts, the surrounding space destabilized with his emotional turmoil, his grip strengthening.

Now was the moment!

Keeping an eye on Yin Fu, Ling Chunann slightly squinted his eyes. Several small daggers appeared in his hand, wrapped in soul power. Taking advantage of the man's momentary distraction, he thrust the daggers fiercely into his vital points.

These were no ordinary daggers; Ling Chunann had spent considerable time forging them with soul power, specifically to kill energy beings. He had initially prepared them to escape the system, but since 098 had always been obedient and the tasks interesting with high autonomy, he hadn't needed to use them. However, as his soul power increased, so did the energy he invested in the daggers, now confident they could seriously harm even if his own provisions were stabbed.

Far in another space, 098 sneezed, shivering, "Host, where are you?"

Ling Chunann's timing was impeccable, striking precisely when Yin Fu was shocked and distracted. Even when Yin Fu noticed his movements, it was too late to dodge.

With three daggers, one aimed at the heart, one at the throat, and another at the dantian, even Yin Fu's energy shields at these locations couldn't delay their assault.

The strange daggers mercilessly penetrated his body, and unfamiliar yet familiar energies rampaged within him, catching him off guard and forcing him to spew blood.

Simultaneously, a wave of pain swept through all his senses from deep within his soul.

The godly divinity that had obediently resided within him now began to resist his control. The powerful force nearly tore his soul apart, and as Yin Fu disintegrated, the space around him gradually collapsed.

"Ah—"

In extreme pain, Yin Fu's eyes reddened as he struck out at Ling Chunann with all his might, the surrounding space shattering with the force. Ling Chunann, having expended much of his strength in his earlier attack and being too close, had no time to dodge this powerful strike.

He had anticipated this when he attacked and didn't plan to dodge. Just as Yin Fu's hand was about to hit him, another hand pulled him away, and he found himself in a familiar yet strange embrace, the man's worried voice sounding in his ear, "Baby, are you alright?"

The familiar tone allowed Ling Chunann to relax, naturally wrapping his arms around the man's waist, rubbing against his chest, "I'm fine."

The strike had drained all of Yin Fu's strength, and he now lay on the ground, immobilized by severe pain for a long while before he managed to look up at the two embraced, his eyes venomous. His handsome face was twisted with hate, "No, I can't accept this, how could I fail? I had obtained the divinity... I am the god..."

"You are just a despicable thief," Helian Feng slightly loosened his hold on Ling Chunann but did not let go, pulling him closer to Yin Fu, "Did you think the divinity you got was complete?"

Hearing this, Yin Fu's eyes bulged, and simultaneously, his body began to turn transparent. He felt his foundational power crazily rushing toward the incomplete divinity, which started to become whole with his power influx, "You, you actually split the divinity?... You madman! Madman... cough cough, you didn't have..." He looked at Ling Chunann, a flash of realization in his eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it, his face showing resignation.

As Yin Fu vanished, a soft silver light appeared from where he disappeared, undoubtedly the divinity he had desperately tried to seize.

Ling Chunann watched the light, feeling a certain familiarity with it. Before he could ponder further, it flew towards him and merged into his brow, a massive power gradually integrating into his soul body.

This power was gentle, as if it had always been a part of him, making it easy to assimilate. As his power increased, Ling Chunann could distinctly sense the operational laws of various worlds; the world lines of each realm unfolded before him, seemingly responsive to his slightest touch.

However, Ling Chunann noticed that many of these world lines were relatively fragile. While they weren't on the brink of collapse, their energies had been almost entirely depleted.

He quickly detached himself from this overwhelming sense of control, and then truly realized the strength of the man standing beside him. With his current power, he could not begin to fathom the depths of this man.

He opened his eyes to look at the man intently watching him, Helian Feng, "What about the energies of those worlds?"

Helian Feng seemed slightly disappointed by his beloved's first question upon awakening but obediently answered, "I extracted them."

The moment Ling Chunann asked, he had already anticipated the answer. A god is bound by rules; he cannot directly extract energy from each world, so he used other methods to achieve his goal, namely the system.

From the information Ling Chunann had previously obtained from 098, all systems were created by a god. They select and bind Taskers, using them to disrupt the world lines, and the energies harvested from this disruption naturally end up with the orchestrator behind the scenes.

The purpose likely related to what Yin Fu had mentioned about splitting the divinity. As for the split divinity, Ling Chunann now possessed a complete new divinity and looked at the man with a hint of danger in his eyes.

Acquiring the divinity had provided Ling Chunann with some legacies, among which was the significance of the divinity itself. For a god, splitting the divinity was tantamount to suicide; no god had ever dared to do so before, but this man had taken the risk.

Thinking this, Ling Chunann sat down cross-legged right there, pointing beside him, "Sit."

They were currently in a void, surrounded by specks of energy similar to the task spaces Ling Chunann had previously experienced, clearly the work of the man before him.

Helian Feng complied and sat next to Ling Chunann, reaching out to embrace him, but Ling Chunann pushed his hand away, his expression betraying a hint of displeasure, "Baby."

It must be said, the man's current appearance perfectly matched Ling Chunann's aesthetic standards, and his physique, which he had felt earlier, could only be described as perfect. Coupled with his pitiful expression now, Ling Chunann's heart softened for a moment, though his face remained expressionless, "Sir, wouldn't you introduce yourself?"

The man instantly snapped back to reality, straightened his face, "I am Helian Feng, age unknown, a freelancer known as the god, unmarried." At this, his eyes filled with hope, "Baby, I may not have any property, but I can create worlds for you. Would you stay with me?"

Seeing the increasingly unserious fellow, Ling Chunann couldn't help but slap his hand over the man's mouth, the rising annoyance fading, "Alright, tell me about that Yin Fu and the split divinity."

Excitedly touching the spot where Ling Chunann had slapped him, Helian Feng grabbed Ling Chunann's hand, playing with it affectionately, and before being glared at again, he began, "That Yin Fu was the bad guy competing with me for the position of god."

Seeing Ling Chunann's gaze, Helian Feng hurriedly rephrased, slowly recounting, "I was born in a small world's celestial realm, inherently possessing the cultivation of a celestial lord, a once-in-a-generation genius. After a thousand years of cultivation, I ascended to the god realm. Another thousand years later, I vaguely touched the threshold of transcending the god realm, the bottleneck of that small world. But no matter what, I couldn't break through that bottleneck."

"At the time, I thought it was because my cultivation was insufficient, so I continued to cultivate diligently. Looking back now, it was actually due to the constraints of the laws; a great world can only have one deity, the god."

"Any being that exceeds the rules set by the god will be destroyed by him, and I, unaware at the time, triggered these rules during an attempt to break through, attracting the attention of the then god."
