I'm a villain, not a devil

Sean was so angry that he laughed. He grabbed Winnak's head and said:

"My dear child, you put so much effort into playing the role of a loving father and a filial son to me, just to feed me to the World Tree?"

Wen Na Ke struggled for a while but couldn't escape. He could only yell, "But I can borrow your body. You don't need it. But now is the critical time for mother's recovery. The sooner she gains self-awareness, the sooner she can face the coming disaster. Besides, when mother recovers, it will be easy to help you rebuild your body. The cloning devices in the shelters nowadays seem high-tech, but they all rely on mother's power..."

Halfway through his speech, Wen Na Ke suddenly shut his mouth, realizing that he seemed to have said too much.

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly: "The technology of the shelter relies on your mother's power?"

Wen Na Ke tried to be tough: "Did I say that? I didn't say anything..."

Sean ignored him and just chuckled.

He originally thought that the World Tree was gradually born after the end of the world, but after hearing the information that Wen Na Ke accidentally revealed, the World Tree has existed for a long time?

In Sean's understanding, the world before the end of the world was a world where high technology and superpowers truly went hand in hand. Many cutting-edge technologies emerged and superpowers also began to show their potential. However, because of the coming of the end of the world, all of this came to nothing.

But if the World Tree has existed for a long time, doesn’t it mean that many things related to the World Tree also existed before the end of the world?

For example, evil gods like the Flayed Messenger?

After taking a look at Wen Na Ke, he threw him to the ground and asked, "Why can my body help your mother recover after implanting other consciousnesses? And whose consciousness are you going to implant?"

Wen Na Ke rubbed her buttocks like a wronged little girl.

"You still don't know yourself well enough... But there are some things I won't say, and the world won't allow me to say them."

Sean narrowed his eyes, then stood up and walked outside.

Wen Na Ke patted his butt and followed: "Father, it's just a flesh and blood body, can you help me? Even if we have never met, the relationship between you and mother is there-"

Sean said unhappily, "Where should I put it? How can I tell others that I slept with a tree that may have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years?"

"It's not like you can't do this."

"Shut your mouth. What you need to do now is to speed up your recovery and get away from the Skinner."

Sean stopped at the door, turned around, and the smile on his face made Wen Nake feel a chill in his heart.

"Have that bird and that tree trunk outside acting a little bit stop."

Winnake avoided his gaze and answered without confidence: "Although there is indeed an element of acting, in essence, I am still in conflict with them, so this kind of situation is very common..."

Sean just sneered and said as he walked out: "You'd better pray that you can get away quickly. Of course, even if you keep pestering me, I have no objection. For me, there is no essential difference between eliminating one or two or three or four."

He stepped over the threshold, and the calm smile on his face made Wen Nake's instinctive consciousness a little stiff.

"You said that the consciousness at the etheric level can be swallowed?" Sean turned his head and smiled.

He would not feel any sympathy for a strange consciousness that claimed to be his child, and fatherly love did not exist for Sean.

But he knew very well that this was the etheric layer, and he had no way to completely destroy the other party - just like Winner, if he had a way to do something to himself, he would have done it long ago.

After all, what happens on the etheric layer is only a matter of energy and spirit, and everything still has to return to reality.

In the tree canopy square outside, pigeons and branches were still chasing and fighting, but as Winnak waved his left hand, the intensity of the fight between the two suddenly decreased a lot.

Looking at Sean's back, Winner pursed his lips, paced in distress for a long time before catching up with him.

"Father, I know I was wrong." He had a resigned expression on his face.

But Sean didn't stop at all: "Are you still trying to stall for time with me? In the real world, the body of the Skinner should be trying to do something, right?"

Wen Na Ke said irritably, "It's just a shell. And the shell in the outside world is probably controlled by the emperor's true consciousness. What he wants to do is probably the same as me. He just wants to turn you into food."

Sean laughed: "It's really funny that your consciousnesses are entangled together. You dare to set a trap to lure me here, so you are confident that you can snatch me away?"

Wen Na Ke said gloomily, "I was confident originally. After all, my mother is gradually recovering. As her child, I can borrow strength that others can hardly imagine. But you have already discovered it, so it is meaningless."

Sean smiled and didn't comment, he just quickened his pace.

Seeing that he was about to leave the range of the big tree, Wen Na Ke had to stop.

He is different from Sean. He is not an etheric body that can roam in the etheric layer. In essence, he is still a projection of reality in the etheric body. It's just that because of his own special characteristics, he can have more autonomous consciousness in the etheric layer.

He couldn't leave here.

Seeing Sean walking away, Wen Na Ke shouted helplessly: "Father, I know I'm wrong, isn't that enough?"

Sean waved his hand: "No, you'd better think about how to survive now."

He gradually moved away from the tree shadow, and while looking down, he discovered what the eye that served as the fertile soil for the tree shadow was.

Aren't these his own eyes?

Maybe it's the combination of the villain reporter's eyelashless round pupils...

Winnak could deceive him, but the etheric projection consciousness would not lie.

So, Winnako is indeed related to the World Tree and Sean.

But that's a story for later. After Sean gets out, just destroy the entire shelter. It will probably be more convenient to find the truth in the ruins, right?

Suddenly, the etheric layer in front began to fluctuate.

Sean frowned slightly. There were still too many unknowns in the etheric layer, and it was still uncertain what this fluctuation would bring.

However, this place is already within Noah's scanning range, and he is not going to wade into the muddy water anymore.

"Noah, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Saint Three, I have relocated you. The navigation information has been sent to you in the form of a data stream. You can use it to find the correct route back to the Mind Hall."

"great."

While waiting for the data stream, Wen Na Ke's voice was heard from behind.

"Father, I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. This is my sincerity."

Sean raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the space in front of him that had just fluctuated.

The humming sound of energy passed by, and the space that suddenly appeared in front of him began to gradually merge with the etheric layer. This space was probably similar to the independent space when Sean and Winnak had talked before. It relied on the etheric layer but was also independent of the etheric layer. Its sudden appearance at this time might have lost its original energy support and was being assimilated into the etheric layer.

And the fighting figure inside also appeared in front of Sean.

A monster was roaring and attacking frantically. It seemed to be a combination of many crazy beasts and mutants. Tentacles, claws, sharp teeth, fangs, and many other features of monsters were combined on its body. Dozens of heads of various colors had saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.

And the person being attacked by it is actually... Luo Xi? !

Wen Na Ke's voice sounded from behind: "She touched the hole left by my mother, and someone must have tampered with it. Anyway, the crazy consciousness left after my mother's death pulled her energy body into the special space of the etheric layer. My body is in the palace, and my consciousness is connected to my mother, so I can sense it. Father, this woman was sent by you, right? Am I sincere enough?"

That special space was finally completely integrated into the etheric layer, and the monster and Luo Xi also fell completely.

Luo Xi had a painful expression on her face. Her mind had been constantly attacked by the monster's unknown means, making it difficult for her to completely control herself. However, the time she spent in the Rainbow Nest to advance had also given her a strong will that was unmatched by ordinary people.

After dodging another attack, her body froze in place again. She endured the severe pain in her mind, and the energy blade cut her arm. With this stimulation, she broke free from the stiffness again.

"Noisy!"

There seemed to be a monster gnawing and roaring in her mind. She shouted angrily, and the energy blade suddenly turned into a giant blade that could almost cut through the sky and the earth. The giant blade actually crossed the distance in an instant, and when it reappeared, it was already above the monster's head.

The monster let out a silent roar, and the expression on Luo Xi's face became more and more painful, but the battle blade did not stop at all.

She no longer had time to observe the situation around her. She only wanted to chop the evil thing into pieces with one knife.

The monster suddenly flashed, and then its body teleported instantly.

Although it was only a little bit, it was enough for it to avoid the blade's attack on its vital parts.

This was not the first time that the woman had used this move. The last time it happened, the energy blade's teleportation was so sudden that the woman's own mental power was almost completely out of control, and naturally it did not pose any threat to it.

After that, the woman's breath became weaker and weaker, but it was clear that the woman must be hiding something.

As expected, this time, it was a sure-win attack.

But it was already prepared!

The dozen or so heads of the monsters revealed human-like pride and insidiousness. As long as they could dodge this final blow, the woman's energy body would completely become their food!

The energy blade slashed down fiercely, and the monster, which had no way to avoid it, finally made a sound. The roar of pain was enough to make people mentally confused and unstable.

However, the part that was cut off was not its vital part!

The monster roared, then stretched out its sharp claws to attack Luo Xi, who had just delivered his final blow and was completely frozen in place.

"presumptuous."

The man snorted coldly.

The monster's body was fixed in place as if under a spell. It twisted its dozen or so heads with difficulty and then saw the man who was attacking it.

“Ah…Ah!!!!!”

More than a dozen heads roared in horror at the same time, and under the impact of such great fear, the monster's body actually showed signs of collapse!

However, before Sean's attack hit, a silver line that seemed to be able to penetrate the entire world flashed by.

The monster's terrified expression froze on its face, and then it turned into pieces!

Luo Xi, who had just been standing still, had unknowingly broken through the limitations of space. Her fingertips were entangled with her own white hair, and the blood drops at the end of her hair fell gently and turned into nothingness in the air.

"Noisy monster..." She stood up slowly. Even though her head was still throbbing, her face was calm despite the murderous intent.

The monster turned into countless pieces of flesh and scattered everywhere, and then directly turned into an energy flow in the etheric layer.

Sean's figure stopped in mid-air, with surprise in his eyes.

Luo Xi's mind finally calmed down and he had the chance to observe his surroundings.

"Rogue, why are you here..." Luo Xi looked surprised.

Just as Sean was about to speak, a silver line was about to attack again.

Sean dodged backwards, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not a mental illusion. I'm Sean. The last time you used this silver thread, you were dealing with the mutant beetle's real body that escaped. I was still very weak at that time."

After the secret known only to the two of them was revealed, Luo Xi's face showed some doubts.

Sean quickly gave a few more things to prove it, and the latter finally calmed down.

Her body softened and she almost fell down, but Sean appeared beside her almost instantly.

However, Luo Xi just shook his body.

After she stood firm, she looked at Sean and asked, "Where am I? Why are you here?"

Sean spread his hands and said, "It's a very complicated matter here, and I can't explain it in a short time. Just think of it as falling into another world. I received a message from Elisa Lam. Something is wrong with that place. Didn't I ask you to leave first?"

Luo Xi frowned. "How can it be so easy? You are too slow. When I was ready to leave, I couldn't leave. There is a hole under the imperial capital. It is like a tree pit left after a huge tree was hollowed out. Inside the tree pit, there is a tree. I was pulled in because I got close to the tree."

Sean frowned. The tree pit of the World Tree... no wonder...

At this time, Wen Na Ke's voice was heard not far away: "Father, do I think this is a meritorious service?"

"Father?" Luo Xi looked at Sean with indescribable eyes.

Sean rolled his eyes and said, "Cheap son, I was just about to find an opportunity to beat him up."

Luo Xi looked at Wen Na Ke from a distance, frowned and said: "It's not surprising that you have an illegitimate child... But why is your son a little Nan Niang?"

Wen Na Ke: “…”

Sean waved his hand and said, "Ignore him, let's go. Go back quickly. You are in the form of an etheric body now, and your real body is still in reality. If you leave it for too long, you will get into trouble. Go back quickly."

"What about Lam?"

"It's okay. I told her. You just need to meet her outside."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. When will you be back?"

"One day at most. After I return to reality, I can just kill a few people and burn down a shelter."

"Ah."

The two of them were talking calmly, and Wen Na Ke, who was far away, was very anxious. He shouted, "Look at me. I've admitted my mistake, isn't that enough? Um, Second Mom, can you please say something good for me?"
