Chapter 1219: Chapter 1220: Within the Sanctuary
After gaining the help of Pioneer Six Zero, Wen Wen could commence the takeover of the Capital Sanctuary.
At his level of power, many small tricks have lost their significance; as long as one’s strength is sufficient, they can simply push through.
Adding to that, the tool-man Lofvis can be summoned at any time, with Wen Wen having three Catastrophe-Level experts on his side; even if there were any schemes at the sanctuary, to Wen Wen, they are insignificant obstacles.
He, along with Pioneer Six Zero, arrived outside the Capital Sanctuary.
It appeared to be a large teahouse, with people coming and going at its entrance, making it look lively.
But Pioneer Six Zero immediately realized this was merely a blinding spell.
There were hardly any living people within a few hundred meters around, and the occasional passerby wouldn’t pay attention to this teahouse.
To the residents of Nine Ports City, this place doesn’t truly exist.
"Back then, when I was looking for members of the Truth Society, I traversed Nine Ports City entirely, yet never discovered anything unusual here," Pioneer Six Zero sighed.
Previously, he was abducted in Nine Ports City and taken to the Truth Society’s secret base to serve as experimental materials.
Therefore, after escaping, he immediately went to Nine Ports City, wanting to uproot the Truth Society, but found nothing.
Wen Wen smiled and said, "This place isn’t as simple as you think; other than me, no one else can easily deal with it."
Without entering here, one could not know what lay inside.
So Wen Wen placed his hand on a section of the wall, the hidden barrier immediately melted away, forming an entrance big enough for two people to pass through, right in front of them.
"The guardian here can exert catastrophe-level strength; leave him to me to handle."
"Before that, I ask you to pose as my servant, and do not reveal your identity and powers."
"When the opponent shows their back-up plan, that’s when your stage begins."
Pioneer Six Zero did not reply, but the killing intent in his eyes already said it all.
Upon entering the sanctuary, Wen Wen discovered its structure was identical to the Meijia Sanctuary, and the place he entered was the garden on the outside of the sanctuary.
In contrast to the false liveliness outside, inside it was genuinely lively.
Members of the Truth Society were everywhere; some were learning forbidden knowledge, while others were designing plots against the Hunters Association.
The moment Wen Wen and Pioneer Six Zero appeared, they caught everyone’s attention; the peaceful atmosphere instantly shattered, with all the Truth Society members preparing to attack, ready to launch assaults toward Wen Wen and Pioneer Six Zero.
If looks could kill, Wen Wen would have died countless times already, so no matter how fierce their gazes, Wen Wen seemed entirely oblivious.
"Hello, is the manager here? I have some things to discuss with them," Wen Wen asked harmlessly.
A strong man stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, and what is your purpose?"
Wen Wen coughed lightly and replied, "Well... the thing is, I’m the homeowner here. I haven’t lived here for a while, and somehow you took over; I want it back."
"I’m not going to sue you for illegally occupying someone else’s property, but I need some compensation from you, consider it depreciation for the house."
Everyone’s face changed drastically; they all knew about the fall of the Meijia Sanctuary, so when Wen Wen appeared, they already had a bad feeling.
But after Wen Wen revealed his identity, all their hopes vanished, understanding that only by fighting Wen Wen could they find a way out.
Because after the Meijia Sanctuary fell, not a single member of the Truth Society returned alive!
So, as soon as Wen Wen finished speaking, all kinds of attacks rained down like a torrent.
The attacks from the Truth Society members were surprisingly consistent; they all used various mysterious spells.
But such attacks, as long as they don’t exceed certain limits, mean nothing to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen lightly waved his right hand in front of him, a black hole-like object appeared in his hand, and all those mysterious spells were absorbed into it.
These spells were composed entirely of pure energy, and their power level was very low; the Catastrophe Gloves could completely absorb them.
"Is there truly no one to take me to your leader? If not, I’ll enter by myself..."
From under Wen Wen’s cloak, countless chains suddenly shot out, filling up the nearby space, then abruptly retracted; on the scene, besides Wen Wen and Pioneer Six Zero, there wasn’t a single superpower user left.
Pioneer Six Zero’s eyes flashed with a stream of data, then he looked at Wen Wen with confusion; Wen Wen’s recent attack wasn’t of high power, yet its complexity baffled him.
The two followed the garden into the main entrance of the Capital Sanctuary.
An elderly man with a bald center and white curly hair on both sides calmly watched Wen Wen.
Wen Wen was surprised to see the old man, "You look exactly like a professor, resembling the scientist portraits at the back of my elementary classroom."
The old professor ignored Wen Wen’s playful remarks: "I am Ailian; upon sensing movement outside, I guessed it was you coming. You shouldn’t have come."
"Strangely, for my place, why shouldn’t I come?"
Wen Wen didn’t launch an immediate attack because this professor, with only True Sequence level power, gave Wen Wen a peculiar feeling.
"This place changed hands a millennia ago, long ceased to belong to you, but is ours, the Truth Society’s."
"And surely you don’t think that after the events at the Meijia Sanctuary, we’d allow you to easily take over this sanctuary?"
"If you hadn’t come, nothing would happen, but today you came, so don’t plan on leaving here!"
A corner of Wen Wen’s mouth twisted: "Wow, your tone is even bigger than Gong Baoding’s foot fungus."
Then Wen Wen’s expression froze; from behind, footsteps sounded, and a strange silhouette blocked the sanctuary’s main door.
The person’s body was semi-transparent, with the internal organs clearly visible, but those organs were unlike normal human organs, as they were all mechanical parts.
He had no hair on his body, and his gear-like pupils emotionlessly stared at Wen Wen.
"Well, indeed something is here; my feeling was correct,"
Previously, Wen Wen had surveyed this place and felt there was something unknown within; hence he didn’t enter rashly, and later sought Pioneer Six Zero.
Ailian emitted bursts of black energy; now he obtained the sanctuary’s blessing, possessing catastrophe-level strength within it.
"Our Truth Society once conducted an experiment, artificial divinity, extracting powers from countless containment items, then converging them on a single individual."
"What you see before you is the sole completed product; and you’re about to be its first catastrophe-level enemy to be slain!"
