Chapter 911 - 388: Sponsors of the Steam Council (3)
"Special Status: Resonance of Mental Images"
"It peeks into the target’s mind vulnerabilities and materializes them into psychic monsters. If the target is attacked by these monsters, they will suffer soul damage directly to the root. While the psychic monsters are alive, the target’s all attributes are reduced by 20%, their will drops significantly, and the probability of skill failure increases by 30%."
The uniqueness of the psychic monsters causes the damage they inflict in the Cursed Space to be almost like true damage.
Even Hercules, whose mind is flawed, is surrounded by the psychic monsters, helpless as a child.
Not to mention the Executioner, whose soul is already broken and suffers from split personality.
To deal with the Executioner, Wu Chang can skip the weakening stage of the performance and directly enter the combat phase.
Under the batons of the psychic monsters, the personalities of the Jack of All Trades and the Gun God are the first to shatter and disappear.
Next, Xavier’s personality collapses under targeted attacks. Xavier falls to the ground, and Wu Chang finishes him off with a shot, vanishing on the spot.
The disappearance of Xavier’s personality not only leaves the Executioner with only the self as the main personality but also frees him from the control of Xavier’s mental imprint, returning consciousness control to himself.
The confusion and fear in the main personality’s eyes begin to fade, revealing clarity.
Even Wu Chang himself, seeing such a significant change in the Executioner, admires his superb therapy skills. If he were to open a psychological clinic using this method to specifically save patients with split personalities, wouldn’t the flags, praising his miraculous hands and healing skills, cover an entire wall?
Although this method is quick, it does have some side effects.
That is, although the Executioner’s eyes became clear, his spirit body seemed to flicker, as if it could break at any moment.
Wu Chang squatted down, gazing at the Executioner curled up on the ground, and asked:
"I’m very curious, who was that important figure you were discussing earlier? Tell me."
The Executioner looked at Wu Chang in confusion and said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Wu Chang frowned and waved at the Secret Police beside him, not complying, onto the Great Memory Retrieval Technique!
The attack of the psychic monsters is not just physical but strikes the soul directly, causing more pain to the Executioner than previous mental attacks.
In just one minute, the Executioner’s mental defenses were completely destroyed. Grabbing Wu Chang’s ankle, he said:
"Stop hitting me, I’ll talk."
Wu Chang repeated the previous question, "Who was that important figure Xavier mentioned earlier?"
After a brief silence, the Executioner asked in confusion, "Who is Xavier?"
Wu Chang: ...
He took a deep breath, forced a stiff smile, and gave a thumbs up to the Executioner.
"Tough guy!"
Even under such circumstances, daring to toy with him, Wu Chang couldn’t help but commend this fearless sense of humor.
In response to the Executioner, he waved to the Secret Police and said, "Continue hitting."
Three minutes later, looking at the slowly dissipating spirit body of the Executioner, Wu Chang scratched his head awkwardly.
To prevent the Executioner from betraying, Xavier seemed to have bound the Executioner’s memories and mental imprint about the Steam Council together.
He shattered Xavier’s mental imprint, freeing the Executioner’s mind but also scattering his memories.
He really didn’t know.
Oh well, since he originally intended to dispose of the Executioner, let the misunderstanding be a misunderstanding.
The Executioner’s spirit fragmented, and the Cursed Space was subsequently lifted, leaving Wu Chang and the Executioner’s corpse in place.
Looking at the one curled up on the ground, his face filled with pleading and fear, now lifeless, Cold Mountain, Sword Star, and the Priest widened their eyes and subconsciously took a step back.
In their eyes, Wu Chang and the Executioner vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Even Sword Star, observing with Sword Heart, and Cold Mountain, sensing with the Power of Root, couldn’t detect what ability Wu Chang used.
Wu Chang and the Executioner spent nearly twenty minutes in the Cursed Space, but in the real world, less than a minute passed.
Before Cold Mountain and others could figure out what happened, they saw Wu Chang and the Executioner appear again. This time, the Executioner had become a corpse.
Judging by the state of the corpse, the Executioner did not pass away peacefully.
They couldn’t imagine what terrifying ability the Executioner saw or the degree of despair he felt to show such an expression on his face.
If they had let Wu Chang handle it upon entering the slum area, they might have deceived themselves into thinking the Executioner was nothing without the Steam Rules and could be easily dealt with.
The problem is, after entering the slum, Cold Mountain and Sword Star had engagements with the Executioner and confirmed the opponent’s independent strength was at the level of an S-Level replica boss, even without relying on Steam Rules.
They even felt the threat of death from the Executioner’s attacks and were prepared to forcefully exit the replica.
Yet such an unsolvable monster couldn’t survive even a minute in front of Wu Chang.
How strong must Wu Chang be?
Even though they knew Wu Chang was ridiculous, they didn’t expect it to be this ridiculous.
Cold Mountain suppressed the internal chill and asked Wu Chang:
"Mr. Peace, what happened just now?"
Wu Chang waved indifferently and said:
"This guy had strong adaptability and tough skin. To deal with him, I had to use a little trick, nothing worth mentioning."
Cold Mountain’s mouth twitched slightly, if your method is a little trick, then what is my Power of Root, an air conditioner?
Wu Chang didn’t care about Cold Mountain’s reaction, turned his back to him, and swallowed the Executioner’s vitality.
Power +60.
After being weakened by the Plane Barrier, his Strength Attribute reached 381 points.
points of strength, indicating the Executioner’s combat power based merely on the Power of Root, approached that of native gods of the Desolate Realm; many low-level players in the Abyss Second Layer would struggle to provide this amount.
Along with the large amount of coal essence and steam explosives he swallowed, Cold Mountain and Sword Star indeed had a hard time dealing with him.
Wait a minute, a large amount of coal essence and steam explosives...
Just as he was about to accept the two Blood-Colored Wills and the Demon-Breaking Steam Press core embedded in the Executioner’s head, he suddenly noticed red glowing patterns appearing on the already dead Executioner’s body, emitting a faint light.
Oh no, his body is about to self-destruct!
