I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 168

The terrifying, skinless monster attacked, prompting the supervisor to repeatedly warn over the loudspeaker that it was an extremely dangerous ALEPH containment object.

Seeing the monster approaching, Du Jue, who had hesitated before raising the prototype of the One Ring, immediately shouted, "You, how dare you offend me!"

The monster, which the employees saw as irrational, terrifying, and ruthless, actually stopped and even turned to attack Adam, who had a smug smile on his face.

"How is this possible?! I am the savior of the new humanity!"

Adam immediately frowned and reached out to make the skinless monster turn around again.

With the two issuing orders one after another, the high-risk anomaly suppressed by headquarters moved back and forth between them like a puppet on a string.

This scene amused Galion, who was watching from the rear of the battlefield. "Benjamin, don't you understand now? There is no god here that you are looking for. That thing is in your heart, and this is a self-destructive madman."

Benjamin had no answer to this.

"Stop it! Stop hindering humanity's transformation!"

Adam keenly sensed that the Imperishable seemed to be fighting against the One Ring, so he immediately led more Abnormalities to this place. If he could just crush the opponent, then he would be the only victor here.

Sweating profusely, Du Jue felt as if his whole body was about to split apart. Two completely different thoughts were clashing. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and stared at the sardines surrounding him.

"I command you to reinterpret yourselves."

The sardines then became disordered and deformed.

He refused to suppress the Ring again, and stopped giving orders to the Otherworldly. He spoke with all his might, saying, "The story is not a foolish fantasy, but an expectation of its re-enactment!"

"Even through layers of shells, we can communicate with birds, beasts, insects, and fish. Verbal communication is the reason we understand and unite!"

"Even the most formidable and treacherous natural landscapes can be transformed and utilized by humankind; this is proof of humanity's power!"

"The One Ring is the unity of mankind, the unbreakable bond of our collective will led by me!"

Du Jue was able to stop the monsters that his employees had turned into from behind, but no one could stop the advancing anomalies in front of him, which were about to reach him.

At this moment, Du Jue could even see the nauseating chest formed by the lungs and kidneys, which was devoid of anything. The arrogance that pressed down on the heart like a giant mountain did not allow for the slightest fear.

"No need for God! No need for Savior! No need for deities! These are all idols created by humanity in its confusion! Humanity's own yearning for beauty is enough to guide humanity! And I am the wise ruler who takes it up!"

Click!

The Ring shattered and reformed in an instant, and the intricate and mysterious six-pointed star suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the corridor as if it were spiraling and twisting.

Swish!

Du hastily retracted the right hand that bore the original seal ring, and this reconstructed imperial seal ring was easily controlled by him, because all the power and violence of the seal came from the emperor, not from itself.

call out!

The monstrous creature "Nothing" suddenly attacked Du Jue's face with its hideous, fleshy claws, as if it wanted to split his head in two and then peel off his skin for its own use.

Snapped.

Faced with this imminent and deadly crisis, Du Jue simply raised his head and pressed the six-pointed star seal of his signet ring to his chin, declaring, "Obey my will—any harm that falls upon me shall be returned sevenfold."

Bang! ! !

The moment the skinless monster touched Du Jue's left cheek, its upper body exploded.

Feeling the pride dissipate from his heart, Du Jue fully understood how to use this new archetype—consuming pride to convey the emperor's decree.

Chapter 274 Fear.

"Power and violence are like stones; whether you like them or not depends on the user."

He casually let his right hand, adorned with a ring, hang down, refusing to step over that 'nothingness' with its head exploding.

A faint golden mark shimmered on his chin, indicating that the decree was still in effect.

“Wuhou!!”

The 'Nothing' that has lost its skin no longer speaks, but instead lets out a meaningless roar, and then charges at Du Jue once again.

Its unimaginable evolutionary ability allowed it to adapt to its headless body, and its right arm suddenly transformed into a long cone-shaped stabbing motion.

Phew!

The long, fleshy cone pierced straight through his chest, yet Dujue seemed to be on a completely different level from 'Nothing to His Name,' with not a drop of blood or flesh spilling out.

Du Jue was unharmed, but "having nothing" was covered by seven terrifying penetrating wounds on his upper body, and he collapsed like a straw.

The lower half of the body continued to writhe and deform, and even began to regenerate arms for attack.

thump.

With a wave of his hand, he slammed the ring onto the bloody, mangled surface of the body, and without turning his head, he said, "Go play somewhere else."

The haphazardly deformed 'Nothing' immediately twitched and rolled towards the corner of the corridor. It was clear that it was trying to stop, but new arms grew from the place where it had been marked, dragging it forward.

"Children skip stones on the water, craftsmen build city walls with stones, and robbers smash their heads with stones. Such ordinary things are constantly changing in the hands of people, let alone power and violence."

Avoid stepping on the blood and flesh carpet left by the aliens.

At this moment, he could sense that his arrogance was rapidly being consumed by the two decrees, but the remaining portion still did not allow him to lose his composure, and he walked step by step toward Adam.

Even the employees engaged in fierce combat witnessed this illogical scene, and Galion, who was watching the battle, widened his eyes slightly. "The power of the stars, huh? It doesn't seem like it... But anyway, this isn't my job, hmph."

A somewhat flustered Adam quickly pulled the anomaly in front of him, in his opinion, Du Jue was even more of an anomaly than the anomaly itself at this moment.

Unfortunately, the sharp-witted Carly raised her greatsword and bravely blocked the abnormalities, causing only one Dissolving Love to run to Adam's side, and the large pool of pink solution almost blocked a section of the corridor.

“Du Jue, you’re right. These two things should indeed be controlled by God. It’s not too late to realize this now.”

Adam tried again to persuade them to stop, saying, "As long as we emit this light, the so-called fear and cycle are insignificant."

Faced with the rapidly invading pink slime at his feet, Du Jue slowly raised the back of his right hand to block it, only to have half of his body enveloped in the oncoming pink.

Chi Chi Chi!

The viscous body of Dissolving Love evaporated out of thin air, just as it corroded the flesh and blood of the employees, and then it quickly withdrew to clear the way for the elimination of the corridor.

The slime imprinted on Du Jue's calm face quickly returned to its smooth state, with only the golden mark conveying Du Jue's newly issued decree: "Keeping one as a pet wouldn't be bad."

A clump of slime adhered to the jacket, then filled the gaps, turning the surface pink.

"The pink is too light, make it darker."

To avoid easily crossing the blockade zone of melting love, the windbreaker on his body had turned crimson, and the writhing, changing patterns resembled deep red fire patterns.

Du Jue then looked contemptuously at Adam, whose face was solemn, "God is a puppet created by mankind to escape reality. And mankind's true power and violence are all in the hands of a holy ruler."

"Could it be that this sage ruler means to eliminate yourself?!"

Adam met Du's gaze with displeasure, his imposing manner undiminished. "There is no other way to be afraid except to become a new human, because humans are constantly surrounded by the unknown!"

The ring immediately shone with golden light. Du Jue, who had been calm just moments before, was instantly enraged by the offense. He merely raised his fist and unleashed a raging hurricane. "Then recognize it, confront it, and control it! And you are nothing more than one of them!"

Bang! ! !

A punch without any technique is pure violence.

The deafening roar of the air currents echoed through the left and right corridors of the construction department, burying Adam, who had been so arrogant, under the rubble he had created.

Fortunately, the headquarters was not an ordinary building, but a launch device for the Seed of Light, which had a strong suppressive effect on Abnormalities, thus preventing Adam from blasting through the place.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Adam, covered in cracked porcelain-like patterns, staggered to his feet and reluctantly lifted the metal junk covering him.

At the same time, all the employees who had been transformed into monsters stood frozen in place, their bodies rapidly returning to their original size, and even the terrifying blades and hair on their bodies retracted.

"Emergency! Emergency care is needed here!"

"Quickly! Move them to the records department lobby immediately, they're all still alive!"

Looking down at the golden mark on his chest, Adam roared with a ferocious expression, "Stop it! If you think that depriving mortals of the ability to face fear is a sin."

"Then listen carefully. If you can do hundreds or thousands of good deeds, what is a mere trace of sin worth?! Do you know how noble it is to peel away the shell of every person?!"

"The future of mortals needs my guidance!"

Hearing these crazed words from afar, Du Jue stared at the signet ring on his hand and finally said, "Adam, kill yourself."

"Well!"

Upon realizing that his right hand was gripping his neck, Adam immediately reached out with his left hand to stop it. He then clearly sensed two completely different arrogances clashing against each other. "Absolutely not!"

"The waves of humanity's past and future belong to humanity, and I am the one who stirs up the waves, the sage king of this moment."

Even if the original prototype changes, the overflowing arrogance within remains unchanged.

Noticing the stalemate, Du Jue turned to the employees and asked, "Will you obey me?"

Having undergone extensive anti-psychological pollution training, EGO employees immediately sensed the real power in Du Jue's words and suppressed the sudden urge to obey, keeping their distance from him.

Even if the person in front of you is the highly regarded Du Jue, didn't you see that this guy can even forcibly command ALEPH-level anomalies?

This overwhelming, inhuman feeling reminded some employees of the Headless Horseman, making them extremely wary.

"Of course!"

Only Song Ya, whose left arm had been smoothly severed, agreed without hesitation.

He didn't know what was going on either. Neither his supervisor nor the minister had given any orders. Taking rash action would likely result in severe punishment, but if it was to be prevented, there shouldn't be a problem.

Yu Wen, whose face was covered in sword scars, hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Of course."

"No! I am your savior, you should listen to me!"

Adam's arrogant and angry inner voice immediately resonated in the hearts of everyone present.

The next moment, that sound was replaced by a whimpering struggle as someone tightened their grip on her neck.

Observing this bizarre scene with a cold eye, Galion, who was standing with his arms crossed, suddenly spoke up: "Du Jue, are you... competing with Adam? The battle between anomalies is really interesting. Adam, do you even need to breathe? Or is this a symbolic death, since humans can suffocate to death?"

She then ordered the EGO staff in the R&D department to cooperate.

When they heard Adam's echo turn into a faint groan, Carly and Benjamin promptly followed suit.

The overwhelming situation immediately reinforced Du Jue's arrogance. He immediately gripped the ring tightly and then twisted it sharply.

Click.

Adam snapped his head off, and all the fragmented echoes of his mind vanished completely.

Chapter 275 The Feast.

After Adam's resistance disappeared, little remained of his inflated arrogance, and he was even able to easily suppress the urge to continue wearing the signet ring and begin to dispel the prototype.

As Du Jue reached out and pulled off the signet ring, he felt an immense emptiness wash over him, leaving him with no emotional response even to Carly, who was supporting him. It felt like a super-enhanced version of post-coital meditation; he was even too lazy to stand.

"put an end to!"

Carly, who had never felt such a strange sensation before, hurriedly hugged Du Jue. Her body felt like a rabbit that had fallen apart, and her whole body went limp except for her bones.

She couldn't help but pinch it a few more times before she came to her senses and called for treatment, "Supervisor! Quickly give Dujue a few injections!"

shhhhh!

This time, not only were they prevented from enjoying the combined package of mental and physical healing bombs, but the systems that had been affected by Adam also returned to normal, allowing all the employees present to receive on-the-spot treatment.

The battlefield, which had just been filled with cries of agony, fell silent in the blink of an eye. The employees stared blankly at their rapidly recovering bodies, then looked up at Du Jue, who was still lying in Carly's arms.

Hey!

Who's holding me? Can't you just put me on the ground?

"I feel... um."

The two injections were very effective, but at this moment, I still couldn't muster the energy to stop. This wasn't a physical or mental problem, but rather an inertia of action caused by emotional exhaustion.

All he wanted to do now was lie on the ground and pretend he was a mound of earth, and just thinking about it exhausted him.

Carly, who had been overjoyed, anxiously asked Du Jue upon seeing his state, "Du Jue, are you feeling unwell? Did you just injure your brain or soul?!"

Carly momentarily forgot to control her emotions, frantically picking up the erratic Dujue and draping him over herself, intending to take him to the infirmary.

"I think he's just tired. He was like that when he used another red dragon form before."

Gallion's nonchalant explanation surprised Carly.
