Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 956 - 83: The First in the Human World (Part 3)

This was the thing Lin Jue complained about Song Que the most.

He just wanted to bring Song Que into the messy and dirty affairs of the human world, because he always worried that his overly earnest and innocent leader might one day discover that the world could not accommodate pure souls.

In comparison, Lin Jue still preferred that boy Tang Xian, whom he had encountered back in the third layer.

Sarcastic as he may be, Tang Xian saw things with an unclouded perspective. So when Lin Jue was first recruited into Song Que's squad, he thought Song Que was ultimately no match for Tang Xian.

However, after spending a long time together, Lin Jue eventually submitted to Song Que's character.

Because individuals like Song Que made Lin Jue—a grizzled cynic who viewed the world with cold eyes—start to believe in the notion of justice.

If asked now whom he would choose between Tang Xian and Song Que, these two most outstanding humans, Lin Jue would choose Song Que without hesitation.

"The world cannot exist without people like you… Boss… I… Lin Jue… can't follow you anymore…"

Song Que couldn't hear Lin Jue's voice, because the distance was too great, because the battlefield roared in chaos.

...

Lin Jue collapsed to the ground, blood pooling beneath him.

Perhaps in no time, he would rise again, as an enemy of Baichuan City.

Song Que stared dazedly at this scene.

One by one, his friends departed, and everything he had worked to protect was being stripped away bit by bit.

The future of humanity itself was growing dim.

Despair seeped like pitch-black oil, staining the heavens and earth in utter darkness. And the fury sparked by Lin Jue's death burned like a flicker of fire in the night.

Akasi, the armored Angel Envoy, had believed that Song Que was on the brink of death. He threw Song Que's broken and battered body to the side, preparing to head toward the Puppet Master.

But after only a few steps, he was abruptly overcome by an intense sense of danger.

What was happening?

He turned back hurriedly and saw a shocking sight.

What little strands of blood had faded from Song Que started to grow uncontrollably at this moment, turning his eyes even more crimson. Accompanying this were his decayed and shattered body parts, now undergoing sudden, grotesque changes.

Under the Exhaustive Ray, no creature had ever managed to heal itself in such a short amount of time.

What Song Que made the Angel Envoy feel was not a recovery—it was a bloom before utter destruction.

From a distance, Qi Yuan watched this unfold, and she wasn't surprised at all.

She had predicted it long ago.

Song Que's rational mind had been suppressing the progression of his beast transformation.

In other words, this man used his sheer willpower to forcibly resist the destructive instincts of the beast within.

But humans… could they embody absolute reason? Even someone like Tang Xian can still succumb to anger. So why not Song Que?

As long as Song Que unlocked the restraints in his mind that he'd placed upon himself, he could become even stronger.

Qi Yuan had thought she might laugh at this revelation, but as she watched Song Que's increasingly monstrous body, she found she couldn't smile.

Was it human nature?

Silently, she gazed at Song Que, waiting for the tragic hero to dance his final curtain call. This tragic moment unexpectedly stirred a pang of heartache within her.

Qi Yuan was not the only witness to this scene; there were also three Angel Envoys observing.

They had never imagined a human could exude such oppressive dominance.

The terrifying roar of the beast reverberated throughout the battlefield.

The death of his comrades had finally snapped the last thread of Song Que's sanity.

Hearing this beast's furious howl, Ju Mang turned to look at the busy Qiao Shanshan nearby, his face suddenly pale.

Akasi, Yuan Wu, Qing JiuYu, Bai Mansheng, and all the heroes fighting in Baichuan City heard this horrifying beast's roar—

Carrying both despair and rage, along with the apocalyptic pressure of annihilation!

The beast transformation level: Four hundred percent.

The ultimate monster of the battlefield was born!

(Note 1: Regarding whether true justice exists, you can check out Mr. Luo Xiang's videos on Bilibili; I found them quite enlightening. As for people like Song Que—whether they exist in reality, I haven't encountered them yet, but I hope they do. Spoilers may reduce the experience somewhat, but I'll let you know: Song Que will not die~)
