Following the instructions of the black mist, Wen Wen advanced eastward, his vigilance at its peak. If faced with life-threatening danger, he would immediately enter the Containment Facility.
Wen Wen had already decided not to use the physiques of high-order monsters to enhance his combat power. While enjoying temporary strength, it hindered the improvement of his own power.
However, even without using high-order monster physiques, Wen Wen possessed no shortage of trump cards. If he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed, Wen Wen could even contend head-on with a True Order expert for a short period. As long as it wasn't a True Order like the Guide, it was even possible to defeat them directly with good luck.
Therefore, even if the Angel of Vengeance displayed hostility, Wen Wen should still be able to buy himself time to escape by using all his means.
But the further east he went, the more uneasy Wen Wen became. He felt the urge to retreat, the drumbeat of his heart pounding. Facing an evil Cataclysm-level entity whose sanity might be completely lost put pressure on him that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
"You've finally arrived..."
A neutral voice echoed in Wen Wen's ears. Following the direction of the sound, Wen Wen saw a figure entirely clad in red sitting on the edge of a building, watching him with a single eye.
This figure had no skin. In some places, bones were occasionally exposed. Its chest and abdomen were open, its internal organs incomplete. Seven half-bald and half-black wings sprouted from its back.
With such an appearance, a photo of it could ward off evil spirits if hung outside a door, or stop children's night terrors if hung inside.
Judging by its completeness, Maiya Mi should have manifested in its true form. But its vocal cords were still confined in that prison; how was it able to produce such a clear voice?
No, this wasn't sound, but direct mental communication.
Maiya Mi lamented, "Since arriving in this world, I haven't seen a fallen angel."
As soon as you arrived in this world, you started a massacre, and then you died for two thousand years. Seeing other fallen angels would be a miracle.
Of course, Wen Wen couldn't say this directly, or he might be cooked and eaten by Maiya Mi. In fact, even if he did nothing, Maiya Mi might still attack. Wen Wen was gambling on a minuscule probability. However, Maiya Mi had specifically sent that black mist to rescue him, so perhaps there was a hint of goodwill.
"Why did you go to that prison?"
Wen Wen said humbly, "Because I heard that a part of your body was being held there. I wanted to release your body and make you whole."
"Then when did you fall?"
"Just today, sir."
"Today?" Maiya Mi seemed surprised.
Seeing that Maiya Mi was becoming curious about him, Wen Wen's eyes lit up, and he began to speak eloquently. "I have always maintained my faith in... in that dog. I have never had any disrespectful thoughts."
"But I've always felt that something was wrong in those places. This mortal church, while appearing righteous, is actually rife with impurity."
"Recently, I've obtained quite a bit of information and discovered that it's not just the mortal church that is so hypocritical; even..."
Wen Wen continued to chatter, recounting the dark history of the Glorious Church he had learned from Wu Liugen, leaving Maiya Mi stunned.
"Today, I realized they are not just hypocritical, so my faith collapsed, and I became a fallen angel... but this feeling is quite good. I was too stupid before."
"And the reason you fell was probably due to an experience similar to mine, so I wanted to help you recover sooner..."
Wen Wen finished in one breath and then looked at Maiya Mi with reverence. These lines were something Wen Wen had long prepared. The conditions for forming a fallen angel were extremely harsh, so perhaps he could move Maiya Mi with his words.
*Swish!*
An obscure force flew past Wen Wen's ear and struck a building behind him. The building, once hit, silently turned into a pile of powder.
The smile on Wen Wen's face froze.
What, are we fighting? Although Wen Wen appeared somewhat resolute, his heart was already in turmoil. The moment Maiya Mi made his move, Wen Wen used immense willpower to suppress the urge to run for his life.
Maiya Mi said with some disappointment, "Tsk, I missed."
"Having only one eye is a bit inconvenient; I see things a bit crooked."
He poked a hole in his forehead with his finger, then stuffed his single eye into the small opening. Flesh and blood covered the edges of the eyeball, making it look as if Maiya Mi had always had an eye on his forehead. His appearance became even more terrifying.
"Now I won't see things crookedly. This is good."
Wen Wen's heart grew cold. Was Maiya Mi hinting that his next move would be fatal?
Maiya Mi said sinisterly, "I know much better than you what a fallen angel is."
"I don't even trust my own brother who fell with me, so why would I trust you?"
"State your purpose."
Wen Wen's expression turned slightly bitter. This Maiya Mi was truly difficult to please. He then pulled an arrow from behind his clothes.
"Sir, this is an arrow from the Bow of Conception. Anyone hit by this arrow will become pregnant."
"If any biological cells are attached to the arrowhead before shooting, the target will conceive that species."
Maiya Mi was slightly surprised, "What do you want to do with this?"
"I heard that Ancestor Cicada was crucified because he was ambushed while conceiving offspring. Perhaps Ancestor Cicada was in a weakened state when pregnant..."
Maiya Mi shook his head and said, "The idea is alright, but this ridiculous notion won't work at all. Let alone that this arrow can't even penetrate that insect's skin, even if it did, this thing wouldn't affect that insect."
Wen Wen nodded. He knew that the Bow of Conception wasn't powerful enough. He guessed that its limit was a True Order super ability user.
"But it would be different if you could cooperate."
"How do you want me to cooperate?"
Maiya Mi looked at Wen Wen with even greater surprise. He had initially sensed the aura of a fallen angel and had come out of curiosity. When he saw that Wen Wen only had one wing, he had already started to feel disappointed, as fallen angels of this level usually knelt and trembled before him, proving to be of no use.
But to his surprise, this fellow was not only unafraid but also audacious enough to ask Maiya Mi to cooperate. Such a unique fallen angel was indeed rare.
If Wen Wen's plan was unfeasible, it would prove that Wen Wen was just a foolish idiot with a faulty mind, and he would be killed and made into a specimen. If Wen Wen's plan was feasible, it would prove that Wen Wen was an intelligent fallen angel. Intelligent kin, of course, could not be treated carelessly, so he would have to...
Prepare him thoroughly, then swallow him whole.
Eating something that nourishes a particular organ might help him grow a brain.
It just so happened that two small pieces of brain were missing...
