A Pious Utterer released a water sphere, encapsulating Wu Wang, and prepared to take him away.
However, at that moment, the Pious Utterer's expression drastically changed, and his body suddenly vanished, retreating behind all the sea monsters.
Four black pillars of light shot towards Wu Wang simultaneously from four different directions. Just as they were about to strike him, they veered sharply upwards, forming four colossal black crosses!
Wu Wang, lying at the center of the four crosses, appeared like a sinner awaiting judgment under divine punishment.
The Divine Winged Attendant's face also showed disbelief. Wasn't it said that this world wasn't as dangerous as the inner world? What was going on?
As soon as he appeared, he encountered a powerhouse of the same level as himself. Now, not long after, a Cataclysm-level powerhouse had appeared?
"No... although it's Cataclysm-level power, this is a remote attack. He shouldn't have come in person."
The Divine Winged Attendant and the Pious Utterer both realized this, but neither made a rash move for the moment, as they couldn't figure out the situation of this suddenly appearing Cataclysm-level powerhouse.
Wu Wang lay on the ground, spitting blood and chuckling, "Do you want to kill me that badly? It's no wonder the being behind you is willing to act for you again and again..."
"However, dying here is not bad either. At least it's much better than being captured by that merman."
Taking Wu Wang back was En Suc's direct order. The Pious Utterer hesitated for a long time before deciding to take Wu Wang.
Perhaps the hidden Cataclysm-level existence was too far away to arrive in time, or perhaps it had only injected power into certain items that were then triggered by someone else, or maybe it was restricted in some way, just like En Suc.
In short, as long as he didn't personally appear, it wouldn't necessarily prevent the Pious Utterer from obeying En Suc's order. He could still take Wu Wang, at most, he would have to pay a price.
But as soon as this thought arose, cold sweat instantly covered his entire body. If he hadn't held back and attacked directly just now, he might have died!
This was because a figure exuding immense pressure was walking towards them step by step.
This person wore a long robe that resembled burning black flames. He didn't use any supernatural abilities, but his aura made the Pious Utterer's body tremble slightly.
Each step felt like it was landing on his heart.
The Divine Winged Attendant was not faring much better. After landing, he dispersed the surrounding strong winds, folded his wings, and appeared timid, like a fledgling bird.
Because they all realized that the aura emanating from this person was indeed Cataclysm-level!
Even though he wasn't using any supernatural abilities and was just walking like an ordinary person, the giant black crosses still lingering in the air were enough to confirm his identity.
He had attacked remotely just now, and within this short period, he had personally appeared here.
Under these circumstances, no foolhardy creature would dare to test whether this person was real or not.
The Divine Winged Attendant stiffly bowed to Wen Wen. Wen Wen didn't even look at him, as Wen Wen was worried that any excessive movement might give him away.
But the Divine Winged Attendant found this perfectly normal. He maintained his bowing posture and retreated step by step until he was at a safe distance. Then, he turned around, flapped his wings, and soared away from Huashan City.
He knew well that beings of this caliber could decide life and death based on their mood. A moment of displeasure could lead to their death. At least the 'God of Gales' he served had such a temperament!
Feeling the fear in the hearts of everyone around him, Wen Wen felt an extreme sense of satisfaction. This was what it felt like to truly wield power.
It was a pity that he was still just a facade for now. Only when his abilities truly grew and developed to the level of Cataclysm True Order could he truly use this power in the real world.
For now, he could only put on a show, so he didn't dare to go too far. He had to make sure everyone could maintain their dignity, otherwise, he would have made the Pious Utterer kneel and call him 'daddy'...
The Pious Utterer swallowed a mouthful of saliva, recalling En Suc's appearance when giving him the task. Not daring to do nothing, he half-knelt on the ground and bravely said,
"Great being, I greet you on behalf of my lord En Suc. This human named Wu Wang has an enmity with Lord En Suc. I wonder if you would be willing to cede him to us? Oye Water City will remember your generosity..."
As he spoke, Wen Wen's heart trembled, fearing that this guy, emboldened by En Suc's command, might rush forward fearlessly.
But upon hearing that it was a request, Wen Wen relaxed. He then thought of a way to divert the trouble and said in a low voice, "Tell En Suc that the person he is looking for is not this Wu Wang. He is merely a scapegoat."
"That person's name is Wen Li, 'Wen' from plague, 'Li' from malevolence. Tell En Suc to try and find out."
After hearing this, the Pious Utterer respectfully stood up and left with his water monsters.
Negotiating with Wen Wen had already consumed most of his courage. He absolutely dared not say anything more.
Moreover, Wen Wen's words might even bring him some merit.
Seeing the two Cataclysm True Order monsters retreat, Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief. At least the city was safe for now.
Then, Wen Wen glanced at Metal Tide, who was standing pitifully in the corner, and Hidden Thorn, whose whereabouts he didn't even know. He put on an act as if he knew everything.
Next, he casually tapped the air with his hand, and a black door appeared out of thin air. Wen Wen gracefully led Wu Wang inside and disappeared.
After the door vanished, the invisible oppressive aura also dissipated.
Hidden Thorn reappeared, his bandages soaked with sweat. He exchanged a look with Metal Tide, and both revealed wry smiles.
This time, Huashan City had truly witnessed a battle of deities, far grander than any provincial crisis. To the extent that the two of them could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
...
Opening his eyes, Wu Wang found himself sitting on a cold, barren floor in a vast prison cell.
However, he was not dead, and there were other monsters sharing his plight. He then burst into laughter.
He didn't know what he was laughing at; he just felt like laughing.
Tao Qingqing, playing games; Faceless Demon, practicing face-changing in the mirror; Pure Light Angel, kneeling and praying; Little Red Riding Hood, applying makeup like an adult...
With so many interesting monsters present, he probably wouldn't be too bored in the future.
Afterwards, Wu Wang saw Shark Warrior, the shark monster that had once pursued him relentlessly, now beaten into a pulp and confined next to him, unable to move.
He pointed at Shark Warrior and started laughing uncontrollably again, his stomach aching from laughter. The entire disaster zone echoed with Wu Wang's manic laughter.
Then, he was silenced by the central administrator of the third floor, Tadpole...
