My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 406 The Strongest Mutant! A New Disruptor!
"Believe me, that will be the most beautiful scenery!"

The ruler was so engrossed in the scenery he had imagined that he could not extricate himself, as if everything would follow his will and develop smoothly.

That is His nature.

Arrogant, vile, and tyrannical.

The ancient ruler possessed the strongest power and the divinely bestowed stone, so of course He could do whatever He wanted, even have His wishes fulfilled!
Even now, having abandoned everything to escape, His first act is to betray His faith, and His second is to put on a show and announce His return.

He's such a bastard!

However, the younger generation, who should have been the audience for his boasting, completely ignored him.

These are Donald and Tang Haofei.

Donald, who already knew the true nature of the Dominator from his ancestors, was initially bewildered by the Dominator's clown-like behavior, but quickly regained his composure.

This is what it means to be a ruler... This is how a ruler should be.

In this world, power is never linked to character or personality; power is simply power.

The Overlord is the most typical example of someone who is useless except for his power!

He never makes things better; he only makes them worse. Doing stupid things like shooting himself in the foot is a fundamental part of the Lord's operation, an unavoidable part of the process.

Therefore, in the original plan, it would have been best if Donald could get the Lord's help.

Even if he doesn't get the Lord's help, or even if the Lord turns against him on the spot, Donald has targeted measures.

The current situation, with the ruler acting on his own initiative, is not the best situation for Donald, but it is certainly not the worst situation either.

—I, Donald, am neither one more nor one less!
"film!"

The mind connects with the outside world.

Outside the Soul Battlefield, the elusive Shadow, having received a message, finally activated.

He instantly burrowed into the fake overlord's body and disappeared.

And compared to Donald's reaction to Domination, Wuxin's reaction was even better.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you done spouting nonsense?"

Once again blasted apart by the Overlord, Wuxin reappeared in the distance.

This is the third time he has been defeated by the Overlord.

With the old and undying soul within him, being hit three times in a row was not even considered a minor injury to Wuxin.

However, judging from the situation, Wuxin indeed lacks the strength to contend with the Dominator.

Even though the Sovereign lost his physical body, soul, and even the six pillars of his being, He still gained everything that the False Sovereign possessed.

This fake ruler's combat power is far stronger than the four kings of the Black Domain—after all, he is a ruler from the end of the old days, and even without the God-given Stone, he can solve too many problems with just his physical strength.

Even according to Wuxin's assessment, the true strength of this fake overlord is comparable to that of the top twelve level beings in the main universe.

For example, the Demon Emperor's soul pets, and the strongest level twelve under the command of the King of Kings, the Creator of Heaven, and Superstar.

Even in the main universe, this level of strength would make him a figure of considerable importance.

However, its strengths are too great, and its weaknesses are too small...

The immortal soul writhed rapidly, transforming into a heartless form.

Looking at the imposing and powerful ruler before him, Wu Xin sighed for no apparent reason.

The sound startled the self-absorbed sovereign, causing Him to suddenly open His eyes and stare wide-eyed!
"What the hell are you sighing for?!"

Out of respect for the senior, I didn't mean to speak the truth: "I just feel that you're a little pitiful..."

"I'm pathetic! I'm pathetic!?"

The ruler's rage was off the charts.

The heavy punch was thrown again, raising a destructive hurricane.

Under the raging wind, Wuxin was instantly torn to shreds and covered in wounds. This was a torture that could be described as being cut into a thousand pieces. It was both the Dominator's revenge and venting, and it also demonstrated the absolute difference in strength between the two!

However, amidst the raging wind, Wuxin's voice slowly rang out.

His voice carried a magical power... He had already activated his ability to awaken someone from a dream.

This skill ignores numerical differences and depends entirely on the effect described.

"Actually, your 'I offer myself as a gift' is a good move. Not to mention me, even my father would probably turn his back on you."

There's no other reason than that no normal person would have thought of such an ingenious and crazy move.

If you're this crazy, what else is there to say? This one move will make you successful.

The sound slightly disturbed the ruler, drawing him to continue listening.

"But I think you don't seem to realize this fact."

"Without the six pillars qualification, are you really qualified to be a player in this game?"

The ruler's expression changed.

Wuxin continued, "The core of my father's struggle with the Demon Emperor is one of the Six Pillars: the Ancient Ruler. The prerequisite for you to become a player in this game is that you yourself are one of the Six Pillars: the Ancient Ruler."

"But now, you yourself have lost that identity..."

"In order to gain freedom, you gave yourself a new identity, but this new identity was created by the original dark side, a false former ruler."

The former ruler and the former ruler are precisely the difference between the six pillars and the non-six pillars.

However, the ruler still did not understand what Wuxin wanted to say.

He sensed something was wrong and threw a flurry of punches, but after a few punches, the ruler suddenly realized that his punches were getting weaker and weaker and his movements were getting stiffer and stiffer.

"This is……"

Instead of directly addressing the Dominator's fears and doubts, Wu Xin simply jolted the Dominator awake with a single sentence: "And then, you didn't realize what kind of role this former Dominator played in this game."

Wuxin finally uttered the most hurtful words: "From the beginning until now, have you seen any of us treat this fake ruler as an opponent or a key figure? To us, he is merely a medium through which you enter the arena, the foundation of the soul battlefield, and nothing more than a backdrop!"

"And just now, you arrogantly changed your identity from a chess player to a background figure, and you were quite proud of it, spouting nonsense about how it would be the most beautiful scenery... Do you know that you're finished?"

The sound was like thunder, striking the very depths of the ruler's heart!

This is also part of the reason why the dominant punching power is getting weaker and the movements are getting slower.

It also had the effect of waking someone up from a dream.

The effectiveness of a single word that awakens someone from their dream also indirectly proves this point: what is said unintentionally is the truth.

This skill's assessment does not accept lies!

Donald stood to the side, helpless against the seal, and thus had the leisure to listen to the conversation between Wuxin and the Sovereign.

He sighed as well, his gaze towards the ruler softened with pity…

"I don't know if you understand, but I saw it with my own eyes. This fake Sovereign's body you obtained was hit by Wuxin's attacks several times. Your bodies and souls were intertwined. Then the fake Sovereign was hit by my Soul Battlefield, and now your physical body is still frozen outside. I guess it will be subjected to a lot of tampering by all sorts of weirdos..."

"I don't want to talk about the relationship between this body and the original dark side anymore. Let's just say, your body and soul have been subjected to so much technology and brutal treatment. Do you feel comfortable using it? Aren't you afraid we'll plant landmines inside?"

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

The corner of the Dominator's mouth began to twitch...

To be honest, the Sovereign's self-sacrifice was a brilliant move, and it did catch the Immortal Emperor Wuxin off guard.

But being caught off guard is not necessarily a problem... being unprepared simply means there's no need to be prepared!
The ruler stiffly turned to look at Donald, a smile on his face that was more like a grimace.

"Didn't we come up with this plan together?! You knew all along that this method had hidden dangers?"

Donald shrugged: "Yeah, I knew your method had hidden dangers."

"Why didn't you say so earlier! Aren't we on the same side?"

"Oh, so now you know we're in cahoots?"

Seeing the Overlord's exasperated expression, Donald sneered, "I asked you to help me, and you wouldn't! Do you know that my men outside have already protected your body!"

"The problems Wuxin mentioned weren't really problems at all. My people have ways to solve them. Even if they can't be solved right now, the Demon Emperor can help you solve them after I succeed!"

"But how have you repaid us?"

Donald, in a high-pitched voice, said in the same tone he had just used to command, "That will be the most beautiful scenery..."

Ignoring the Overlord's bloodshot eyes, Donald pointed at the Overlord's nose and cursed, "Everyone tries to cheat you, but you're the one who gets cheated the most! All the torment you've suffered is your own doing!"

The ruler has shot himself in the foot! Once again!
He has long been obsolete!
The two emperors, one immortal and one demon, have been fighting since the Age of Destruction, all the way to the new universe.

Both sides are constantly upgrading their weaponry and their methods.

The ruler, however, is merely trapped in a death row cell, resorting to weapons to fight outwards...

To put it bluntly, His status as one of the Six Pillars was given to Him by the Celestial Emperor!

If He clings to the identity of the Six Pillars that others gave Him, then in this game, He still has the qualifications to be a player.

Now that you're abandoning your identity as a chess player and willingly becoming a background figure like Ocres, don't blame others for not taking you seriously.

—Perhaps long ago, during the discussion, the Demon Emperor himself laughed to himself after hearing the Sovereign's thoughts.

"Dude, what's the difference between this and handing your life over to me? After dumping the Immortal Emperor, you've found yourself two more powerful backers: the Demon Emperor and the Primordial Dark Side. One becomes two, a huge profit, right?"
Of course, the Demon Emperor didn't need to remind the Ruler of this; He knew the Ruler's nature. There was no reason for the Demon Emperor to refuse combat power that was offered to him.

Originally, both Shadow and Soul One had their own preparations that could help the Overlord solve these problems to some extent.

Then, having just escaped your predicament, you played the trick of betrayal again...

Everyone looks down on you, and you yourself are truly disappointing.

The Sovereign's body grew increasingly stiff, and all sorts of lights continuously flowed out from within it. These included the light of heartless flesh and blood parasitizing, the grafting of the Dao heart, the light that awakened people from their dreams, and the light of Donald's soul battlefield.

Moreover, these lights only accounted for a small portion... and it was impossible to discern whose method it was for the rest.

Shadow, the clone of the former Immortal Emperor, the clone of the former Demon Emperor, Soul One's remote interference, and even the Ash Walkers, who were assigned to Wuxin by the Creator of Heaven and whose whereabouts are currently unknown...

As Ying said before: the body and soul of the false ruler have become a hodgepodge.

All sorts of bizarre technologies and grueling work have long since ruined this body, even affecting its soul!

Unfortunately, He lost His status as one of the Six Pillars and was trapped in the Soul Battlefield, leaving Him at the mercy of others...

Donald and Wuxin suddenly exchanged a glance.

Then they all started working together!

In this round, the Overlord, thinking himself clever, was eliminated first. Now, it's time for everyone to rely on their own abilities.

……

The false ruler is outside the body.

Before officially entering the arena, Ying transmitted a message to Xia Lin: "Break through as soon as possible. Your turn to make your move may be approaching soon."

This interrupted Xia Lin's continuous dismantling of the mutated skills.

Nodding to Ying from a distance, Xia Lin shifted his attention to the battlefield between the three little ones and the four kings of the Black Domain.

Xia Lin was unaware of everything that was happening in the Soul Battlefield.

Xia Lin only had a vague understanding of the overall plan.

The Demon Emperor simply gave him a task, which was actually quite simple—to use the skill "Eternal Freeze" at a crucial moment.

And now, the crucial moment for the transmission of sound from the shadows is probably approaching.

Then there's no more lingering enjoyment of slacking off...

Xia Lin has always been serious about doing things for money.

The Demon Emperor offered enough incentives, and what Xia Lin needed to do wasn't particularly difficult or troublesome. If he messed it up, Xia Lin wouldn't be able to get over it in his own mind.

Ahead, the three little ones were still locked in fierce battle with the four kings of the Black Domain, but their figures were somewhat illusory and their strength was getting weaker and weaker.

—This is a sign of energy depletion.

Xia Lin has a good relationship with Victor and has a general understanding of the Dream Come True system.

The fake Demon Emperor's clone's strength is actually limited. The Dream Come True system he uses cannot truly turn the fake into the real. The three little ones, who are fake within fake, have a time limit and a total amount of energy. When the time is exhausted or the energy is used up, they will naturally disappear.

"But it's enough that we've held on for so long."

On the skill panel, the light of the Heavenly Dao Equation gradually dimmed.

Xia Lin looked at the skill atom bar, and a huge number of skill atoms came into view.

That's a number of millions!

All kinds of skill atoms are available, from F-level to the lowest level.

But the most common one is undoubtedly the mutated skill Atom.

After all, Xia Lin mainly focuses on disassembling mutated skills.

After reviewing the skill description of the Heavenly Dao Equation again and thinking about it, Xia Lin tried the positive combination function of the Heavenly Dao Equation for the first time.

"Power atoms can combine to form the strongest power, energy atoms can combine to form the strongest energy, so what can my mutated atom combine to form? The strongest mutation?"

But when it comes to mutations, how can there be such a thing as the strongest or the weakest?
Trying is worse than guessing.

Based on the examples of strongest power and strongest energy, Xia Lin used 88 mutations (racial foundation level), 888 mutations (SSS level), 8888 mutations (SS level)...

The quantity required is extremely large, but Xia Lin, with his unlimited resources, can certainly produce it.

At the very moment when a large number of skill atoms were assembled, Xia Lin suddenly felt a tremor in his soul.

On the skill panel, a new branch has appeared in the Heavenly Equation skill—this is a branch of the temporary skill composed of skill atom groups.

[Note: Temporary skills have a time limit! The time limit is 1 hour! After one hour, the skill atoms used to construct the temporary skill will return to the Heavenly Equation skill and can be used again.]

A new note appeared, and Xia Lin understood it after a quick glance.

This means that no matter what type of skill you create—whether it's a continuous skill or an instant skill—the skill atoms that create the skill will be forcibly locked for one hour.

This places higher demands on the foundation of the owner of the Heavenly Dao Equation.

Xia Lin said that this was nothing.

Unlimited resources, that's how domineering it is!
As his gaze continued downwards, the skill, composed of countless mutated skill atoms, finally came into Xia Lin's view.

[Strongest Mutation (Temporary) (Actual skill level depends on the main skill): Active Skill. This skill has no cost and no cooldown. Lock onto the target using perception, activate this skill, which will ignore distance and all of the opponent's defenses, and will take effect on the target immediately and without delay! Everything possessed by the target affected by this skill will undergo random mutation!]

At first, Xia Lin didn't think this skill deserved the title of "strongest".

But upon closer examination, one realizes the power of this skill.

First of all, it is very strong if it ignores distance and defense system.

Like pseudo-random substitution, the weakness of single-target skills lies in the inability to guarantee a hit, while the strongest mutation does not have this flaw.

Secondly, it ignores resource consumption and has no cooldown.

Xia Lin knew all too well how powerful an uncooled mutation was—it meant you could keep gambling until you won.

Finally, the target of this skill does not seem to be limited to people; its target can be objects, the void, or even rules!

"But even so, this skill doesn't deserve the title of the strongest. It can't compare to skills with the strongest power or the strongest energy."

What supports Xia Lin's theory is that the strongest mutation skill is a skill that affects the opponent, rather than a self-enhancing skill.

Countless battles have demonstrated this: all skills that affect the opponent either depend on the judgment of the skill or cannot be fully effective.

However, once judgment issues are involved, these types of skills may be blocked.

"Moreover, this skill is inherited from the skill level of the Heavenly Dao Equation, which is only at the level of racial foundation."

The remnants of the old era are somewhat unable to adapt to the rules of the new era.

Even though the Four Kings of the Black Domain are level twelve and do not follow the judgment logic within the professional system, the Heavenly Dao Equation in Xia Lin's hand is only the Heavenly Dao Equation from the past, and it does not follow the judgment logic of the professional system in the new universe...

Xia Lin wasn't really sure if the "Strongest Mutation" skill would work on the Four Kings of the Black Domain.

But as the saying goes, it's better to try than to guess.

However, just as Xia Lin was about to make a move, a voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his heart.

"It will work."

The voice was weak and even a little hesitant.

Xia Lin didn't react immediately.

They simply locked onto the magical artifact Bev, which had already been killed once by the Overlord, resulting in a significant loss of combat power, and unleashed their first strongest mutation.

There is no skill glow; the skill hits and takes effect instantly!

Only saw:

The magical artifact Bev froze on the spot, her body began to twist, and she quickly turned into a green goblin.

The magical artifacts floating around her all made a cracking sound. At least SSS-level high-quality magical artifacts underwent a major transformation on the spot. Some turned into low-level immortal magic treasures, some into martial arts weapons, and some even strangely turned into children's toys or small animals. The chaotic scene dazzled Xia Lin.

Then another "bang" rang out.

Bev's personal space also exploded...

Because her personal space, under the strongest mutation effect, transformed into a palm-sized goldfish, the ordinary goldfish had just completed the mutation when it fluttered its tail and froze to death...

The random items in the personal space also began to mutate.

Objects, people, birds, beasts, insects, and fish—a chaotic mess—left everyone present stunned.

Talents, skills, racial stats, physical attributes, etc., have also mutated.

Xia Lin couldn't immediately discern exactly what it had become. All she saw was that the goblin that had originally been Bev opened its massive mouth, gagged, and spat out a miniature, jet-black hellhound—which was supposed to be her breakfast for the day…

The chaotic battle was forcibly interrupted.

The most powerful mutant strikes without a trace, killing without a sound; no one could tell that this was Xia Lin's doing.

Instead, Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively asked a question in return.

"It actually worked... How did you know?"

"I created this skill and gave it to you. This is my territory, how could I not know?"

This sentence flows much better than the first one.

But it shattered the fog in Xia Lin's mind like a thunderclap, leaving Xia Lin stunned on the spot!

He suddenly focused his mind and shifted his attention to the realm beyond the realm!
Xia Lin then saw that the remnant soul belonging to Yuan Zhuo, which he had not yet disposed of, was pulsating slightly.

Perhaps sensing that Xia Lin's perception had spread to this place, the remnant soul, which was under layers of seals, slowly twisted and transformed into a pale purple eye.

He looked at Xia Lin.

"I have no ill intentions."

"I just want to talk to you about a deal."

"Regarding a deal that bypasses the uniqueness restriction and allows you to permanently obtain the Heavenly Equation skill."
