Chapter 733: The Evil Shadow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Obediently come to the other side, then become the overlord of the devil world! All those G.o.ds don’t care about you, so why should you throw your life away for them? Is it not good to be selfish?”
The shadow constantly whispered in Li Yunmu’s ear.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Li Yunmu’s forehead. He couldn’t help but ask, “Who exactly are you? Who is it?”
He kept checking his surroundings constantly, sensing that he should be faced with the legendary illusion. Given his strength right then, it shouldn’t have been difficult for him to break it, but he just couldn’t get rid of it, and he didn’t understand why.
Everything seemed extremely real around him, which made him fall into the illusion again and again.
“This, what exactly is this place?”
When that question appeared in his heart, the black shadow in front of him suddenly began to howl with laughter. “I am you! You are me! We are one! I am your shadow!”
Li Yunmu shook his head. “Wrong, my shadows are all extremely mild and gentle, not vicious like you.”
“Ha ha ha… You really are accusing me wrongly. I’ve lain dormant for a long time, waiting for this day to arrive.”
Before his words fell to the ground, countless shadows appeared around Li Yunmu. They were the ones produced by the system for him, and all of them began to howl miserably while facing the evil shadow.
Li Yunmu became extremely furious and said, “What exactly are you doing to them? Stay your hand!”
The more intensely Li Yunmu shouted, the more sinister the shadow’s smile became.
“I am the evil in your heart! Every person has both good and evil in them. The garbage you created previously were trash among trash, and all of them were gentle. Only by using shadows like me could you become an overlord!” he said with a slight smile.
The more the evil shadow spoke, the fiercer he became. While on the side, Li Yunmu was like a victim of kidnapping, unable to move in the slightest.
“Don’t struggle, I decide everything in this s.p.a.ce!”
“What exactly do you think you are doing?”
“What do I think I am doing? Naturally, I am throwing you into despair so you would abandon your stupid kind thoughts. I will a.s.sist you in unleas.h.i.+ng your inner evil, and you will become the most powerful person in the world. Everyone will learn to fear and dread you.”
Li Yunmu bit his lip. “This…. isn’t what I want!”
“Oh, you don’t want it! Alright, then I will show you some scenes from the future! You will see the price of your weakness. Without the powerful me, you are only an ant in this world.”
Then, the sinister shadow produced a picture in Li Yunmu’s mind, and Li Yunmu suddenly felt as if his head had swollen up. This-this should be impossible! How did he do it? Scandinavia had surprisingly fallen, and Brunhilda was … dead! Odin was also dead, while the territory of Scandinavia had been divided by Zeus and s.h.i.+va…
The Two Poles of Morning and Evening, which had unified themselves recently, fell into a war again while Zeus and s.h.i.+va were attacking Ancient Lands. What sort of scene was that? The two villains truly intended to conquer the Origin World for themselves!
“Do you feel helpless? Despaired? Impotent!”
“Ah!!!”
Li Yunmu yelled without end. Given his strength, he wouldn’t be able to rescue those whom he cherished.
The evil shadow gave him a treacherous smile, and said, “Since this scene didn’t send you into despair, then you will appreciate what else I have prepared for you!”
Li Yunmu felt as if his head was about to split open.
“Ahhh!!!”
Another miserable howl echoed, and gradually, the scene in his mind became clearer.
The experts from the other planes whom he had engulfed had arrived on Earth and attacked Lucky Wind City and broken through its defenses. They carried out a blood purge inside the city, and Lin Yuerou and his parents died tragically. Even his four shadows turned into smoke.
Li Yunmu knelt down on the ground with his eyes about to crack apart. The sense of loss was pus.h.i.+ng him into despair, and both his eyes turned red!
“Dad, mom… Lin Yuerou!”
“Aren’t these scenes very wonderful? Do you feel despair? If you feel it, then you can turn to evil and increase your strength!”
“No…”
Li Yunmu took a deep breath. He knew that everything was fake, and he couldn’t let the evil shadow in front of him take control of him.
“These are all fake! Everything is fake!”
Li Yunmu was resolute in throwing away what he saw from his mind. He wasn’t willing to accept the scenes he saw as facts.
“Why aren’t you willing to concede? Hey, since this is the case, you should see some despairing scenes personally.”
“What the h.e.l.l are you thinking? Throw them all at me!”
“How can I make you feel despair and helplessness?”
Li Yunmu knew that the evil shadow in front of him was his biggest inner demon. Only by subduing him could he transform.
What he saw was insufficient to sway his heart, but the good shadows were being crushed by the evil shadow right then.
They were suddenly engulfed by the evil shadow, who was much more formidable than them, and he began to wantonly trample on them.
Looking at the good shadows’ bitter expressions, Li Yunmu’s expression turned somewhat sluggish. He wanted to prevent it, but he still couldn’t move his body.
“Stop, stop, stop, stop! Don’t hurt them, don’t!”
Li Yunmu shouted himself hoa.r.s.e, but the evil shadow only jeered at him even more intensely.”You must remember that no one in this world sympathizes with weaklings. Only the formidable have the right to exist, while weaklings will always be trampled by them!”
When saying the last words, the evil shadow kept crus.h.i.+ng the heads of the good shadows in front of Li Yunmu.
Li Yunmu’s body shuddered; he was in true despair right then. He felt helpless, and this sort of mental state could only keep him stuck at the bottleneck without allowing him to ever break through.
“I want power! I want strength! I want to protect the people close to me! I want power…”
Li Yunmu’s howls gradually calmed down, and his eyes turned empty. He was finally turned into a mortal thirsting for power by the torment of the evil shadow.
