Chapter 388: Chapter 387: The Sect Hierarch’s Worries

“What’s the matter? Did something unexpected occur with the Sea City plan?” the Sect Hierarch calmly asked, seeming indifferent to the plan for Sea City.

Indeed, he didn’t care. Sea City was just a risky game for him. If successful, they would take over the Sea City branch. If not, a hefty ‘death indemnity’ would be obtained.

The deal was a sure win and carried no risk.

The sect members fought and died for the divinity, enough to show their devout hearts.

Given this, they would surely prefer that the ‘death indemnity’ be contributed to the sect and the divinity.

“We’ve swayed some people, mixed in some spies, and even dropped in reinforcements. Everything has gone as planned. In theory, we can take over the Sea City branch.”

The Sect Hierarch chuckled lightly, his words tinged with coldness: “Theory? In theory, an ice-related ability can freeze time, an ability that grows stronger when being hit can infinitely strengthen, and an illusory ability can place all humans into an illusion. If theories were all reliable, what is the need for practice?”

“If you enjoy discussing theories, I can arrange for you to teach at a university.”

“No, no, no, I did not mean it that way.” The mutant senior quickly claimed that he had misspoke earlier.

“Say what you have to say. I don’t like hearing explanations, and I don’t want to hear frivolities either.”

“Our sect needs actual effort to succeed, not language skills.”

“Reflect upon mistakes and correct them when found. Do you understand?”

The mutant senior certainly understood this rationale. However, with the leader spoke these words, he could only obediently say, “I understand.”

“So, what happened within the Sea City branch?”

“Hmm, two or maybe three newcomers acted, taking care of everyone.”

The Sect Hierarch turned around, his eyes bright, rubbing his ring, “Tell me about it.”

“All who infiltrated the Sea City branch have been captured, and we couldn’t get anything directly from them. Thankfully, we have previously invaded the CCTV of the Sea City branch and were able to perceive this scene.”

The mutant senior invited the Sect Hierarch to the projection room.

In the projection room, the Sect Hierarch saw Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu display their power, transform into thousands, rain down Sword Qi, and solve the problem with ease.

Moreover, not a single person was killed. Everyone had been captured alive by the Sea City branch.

“Interesting.”

“I believe these two might possess some unknown abilities. As long as we figure out their abilities, they will pose no threat.”

“And the third person, Peng Lianghai, as one of the three newbies. The other two are so strong, there’s no reason he’s just an average enhancer.”

“I suspect that despite not acting, Peng Lianghai could be the strongest among the three.”

The Sect Hierarch glanced at the senior of the sect and sighed out two words.

“Foolish.”

“Please enlighten me, Sect Hierarch.”

“These two are indeed very strong, but not in the way you understand. They might originate from a different world.”

The mix of senior mutants was taken aback.

“With your intellect, naturally you can’t understand. Don’t force yourself to understand what you can’t understand.”

“But the cleverness in you is your speculation about Peng Lianghai.”

The senior of the Mutant Sect stared blankly at the Sect Hierarch, noticing an unfamiliar expression of excitement on his face.

Having been in the Sect for forty years, he had never seen the Sect Hierarch expressing such a countenance.

“No, I don’t have enough intelligence on the three of them. I’m not sure I’ll win. I need more preparation.”

The Sect Hierarch always trusted his intuition. His intuition told him that if he could obtain the power of these three, he would become unprecedentedly strong, possibly even dispensing the need for the “Total Mutant Proliferation Plan”.

He believed that each mutant ability represented the origin of the world. If he could combine all mutant abilities, he might be able to achieve the effect of creating worlds.

By then, he would become the singular and supreme king of this world, with no one daring to oppose him.

And this was not an unsubstantiated belief. Currently, he possessed tens of thousands of mutant abilities and had vaguely touched upon the threshold of creating worlds.

“It’s already quite close, just lacking several rare mutant abilities.”

The Sect Hierarch had been waiting for mutant abilities that had appeared in history but were yet to emerge.

As a possessor of all attributes, he also had miseries he couldn’t share with others.

“What the hell are these ‘Repella Girl’ and ‘Repella Boy’ abilities? Why did I absorb these two mutant abilities in the past?”

The Sect Hierarch reluctantly thought of the greater plan of creating worlds, for which he had endured humiliation and absorbed these two abilities, resulting in constant solitude.

He came close to autism.

He fell in love with a female believer and was dumped by her as soon as the ‘Repella Girl’ ability exerted its influence. Furthermore, she wanted to quit the sect.

“Then there’s this damned ‘As You Say’ ability. When ‘As You Say’ is activated, the ‘Shut Up’ ability is always triggered.”

Due to this reason, the Sect Hierarch had not been able to use the ‘As You Say’ ability.

After days of earnest practicing of ventriloquism to bypass the ‘Shut Up’ ability, the Sect Hierarch never expected the ‘Shut Up’ ability to be able to shut off ventriloquism too.

It was then that the Sect Hierarch truly gave up on using ‘As You Say’.

“And then there’s the healing ability, coupled with the ‘Balding Equals Strengthening’ trait.”

A person generally goes bald directly after awakening the “Balding Equals Strengthening” ability, and the hair never grows back.

However, the Sect Hierarch was different as he also had the healing ability.

His healing ability was so formidable that it could cure wounds automatically. The healing ability insisted that balding was also an injury.

This led to the Sect Hierarch’s hair suddenly sprouting out and then disappearing, sprouting out again and then vanishing. His hair grew faster than leeks.

So the Sect Hierarch had to cover his head with a hood.

But this had its advantages too.

He had a “Strengthening Upon Injury” ability, and constant hair loss was deemed an injury, thus lightning him continuously.

Although the increase in strength was negligible, the effect was present, which was encouraging to him.

Driven by curiosity, the Sect Hierarch once watched the horror film “Ghostly Fright Night”, and failed to sleep, due to the “Photographic Memory” ability.

Luckily, he also possessed the “Memory Erase” ability.

The Sect Hierarch erased his memory of watching the horror film.

His memory was erased so thoroughly that he forgot about watching “Ghostly Fright Night”. Yielding to curiosity, he ended up watching it again.

He erased his memory once again.

After repeating this cycle for several days, the Sect Hierarch finally realized something was wrong. He used a recording to document his behavior, eventually uncovering the truth.

“I’ve sacrificed so much for the Birth of the World,” said the Sect Hierarch to himself, marvelling at his own dedication.

He stood before the statue of the three-eyed god without any reverence, “You’d better bless me with success. If I succeed, I will promote you worldwide when I become the ruler. If I fail, I’ll smash you into oblivion.”

When the members of the mutant Sect learned about the existence of a statue of the three-eyed god, they were thrilled thinking there was indeed such a god that closely matched their wishes. In reality, the Sect Hierarch made up the three-eyed god according to the psychology of the mutants.

His purpose in organizing the Mutant Sect was not to grow strength, but to gather various mutants together.
