This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 200 Practice brings true knowledge

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! This is wrong! Absolutely wrong!
The strength this paladin displayed in the illusion was simply outrageous!
The strength of abilities within the illusion depends on an individual's mental power, and the power this guy is displaying right now is extremely formidable even when restrained; he can't even be sure of its exact strength!
In reality, if this guy could release this power completely externally like previous generations of Homo sapiens, or like the Void-Crossing Demon...

Let alone detonating a mental bomb, the direct mental clash alone would probably be enough to completely crush Gammaly Quinn's phantom incarnation!

That terrifyingly efficient killing power, that almost precognitive understanding of the weaknesses of its demons, that mental strength that could sustain such intense combat without showing any signs of diminishing...

This is not how a paladin in real life should behave, as they need to rely on tactics and avoid traps!
The Lord's plan... got the most crucial point wrong from the very beginning!
This Nie Weiyang might not be some pawn who received a little favor at all; he might be a monster among Homo sapiens! A monster whose mental strength is powerful enough to directly confront the Void-Crossing Demon!

What exactly did Administrator Number Two give him?!

This guy killed a garrison unit as soon as he arrived in the new world. Could it be that it wasn't just luck?!
At this moment, the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything, but the illusionary realm could not be canceled at will.

However, Gammaly Quinn is, after all, the ruler of this twisted realm; this is his kingdom, and his rules!
Even if a mere Homo sapiens possesses abnormal mental abilities, how could they possibly act with impunity here?!
"Don't even think about it! This is my world! My ideal place!" It let out a twisted roar mixed with fear and rage, and the entire 'ideal place' trembled violently and was reconstructed!
Just as Nie Weiyang stepped through a corridor—

Everything is turned upside down!

The brick and stone ground beneath his feet did not simply collapse, but instantly liquefied and boiled, transforming into a boundless swamp of flesh and blood, churning with foul-smelling bubbles and countless twisted arms. Those arms frantically grabbed at his ankles, carrying a terrifying force that dragged him into eternal damnation.

At the same time, the surrounding space no longer closed, but folded over! The distant mountains of gold and silver and the twisted buildings were forcibly pulled close like pieces of paper, crushing towards him with immense force. Every soul coin screamed, and every brick and stone flowed with malice!

The visceral cloud in the sky was no longer content with raining blood; instead, it plummeted directly! Like still-pulsating, rotting organs, it crashed down with a suffocating sense of oppression and mental pollution!

And many more little demons, no longer physical entities, emerged from every negative emotion and every evil thought in this realm, transforming into a semi-transparent tide of vengeful spirits, howling and shrieking, ignoring physical barriers, directly piercing through space and rushing towards Nie Weiyang's soul.

They are trying to drown out and pollute that damned light with the purest, most extreme thinking!

This is a complete and utter global malice launched by Gammaly Quinn against one person, at the cost of overdrawing the foundation of his domain!

Faced with this deadly attack that transcends the laws of physics, Nie Weiyang finally took it a step further.

It's just a little bit.

He still did not back down.

Faced with the countless arms reaching out, he didn't even glance down, but simply leaped across the swamp.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silent purification. Centered on the place he went, the boiling swamp of flesh and blood became 'clear' instantly, as if a purifying agent had been injected—all the filth, corpses, and evil thoughts were directly evaporated, revealing a patch of pure land radiating a faint light.

He ran forward as if walking on flat ground.

Faced with the folding and pressing gold mountains and buildings, he made a move that Gammaly Quinn could not understand—he gripped the sword with both hands.

Du Kongmo let out a sharp, cold laugh: "Do you really think you can cleave me in two..."

Nie Weiyang closed his eyes for a moment, then gripped the sword with both hands and raised it above his head. The immense energy converged wildly towards the sword at an unprecedented speed, and the long sword seemed to transform into a black hole that devoured light, compressing and condensing all power to the extreme!

A larger, clearer phantom of a longsword made of ultimate light energy slowly emerged—this light-forged sword was enormous, with the hilt, spine, and tip of the sword faintly visible. Although it still lacked detail, it was composed of pure energy and will!

Forged from this light, it transforms the energy jets, which were originally like blunt weapons striking, into something with absolute sharpness and directionality!
The next second, he suddenly swung his sword down!
There was no deafening explosion, only a heart-pounding buzzing sound that seemed to tear space and time apart!

A massive, solid, and intensely bright white beam of light, so thick it was impossible to look directly at, erupted from the direction of the sword, like a lash of judgment from God!

It tore through the darkness, evaporated the foul air along its path, and surged forward with unstoppable destructive force!
Nie Weiyang's medium-length hair fluttered in the wind, and in his scarlet-gold eyes, a golden light, like lightning and a mountain, gradually approached white and spread through the cracks in his irises.

His voice was not passionate, but calm and powerful.

"—[My principles]!"

The malevolent mountains and buildings that surged towards him were brutally sliced ​​apart by the massive sword of light, much like Moses parting the sea, before they even reached him. Countless shrill phantoms vanished as streams of light filled the sky. Nie Weiyang sheathed his sword and slowly stepped forward.

He strolled calmly forward through the canyon filled with destructive energy.

Below the canyon, along a sharp, straight cut, light flowed abundantly. Nie Weiyang walked through this light.

Even as he strolled around, he had the leisure to casually flick out a few tiny points of light, which precisely disappeared into certain places in the void—the key energy nodes that Gammaly Quinn used to construct and maintain his domain.

'Puff...puff puff...'

Several sounds, like bubbles bursting, echoed deep within the domain. Gammaly Quinn suddenly spat out a mouthful of green 'blood' composed of pure energy. It felt its power rapidly draining away, the domain becoming extremely unstable, and even beginning to backfire on itself!

"You...what are you?" its scream was filled with despair: "What the hell are you?!"

How does this guy know about its domain node?!
Nie Weiyang certainly wouldn't tell it "Nothing else but to kill you." He finally broke through all the obstacles and arrived in front of a tumor.

Due to backlash and fear, it convulsed violently and was gradually shrinking.

“Don’t swear. I won’t let you provoke me into a mental interaction with you,” Nie Weiyang said gently, even poking the tumor with the hilt of his sword. “Although I do swear.”

"Are you crazy?! Are you even human?!" Having failed with his last tactic, Gammaly Quinn snapped, "Don't you have any emotions?!"

“Yes, I am.” Nie Weiyang gave a detached smile. “See, aren’t I happy?”

At this moment, the domain still exists, but it is already dilapidated, like a soap bubble about to burst.

The grotesque images became blurry and flickering, like a screen with a poor signal.

Through the goggles still on Nie Weiyang's face, Gammaly Quinn clearly saw death so close at hand.

He saw the other person's terrifying smile, the cold eyes beneath the mask, and he also saw how insignificant and wretched he was.

Nie Weiyang tilted his head slightly, as if having a final conversation with it.

His tone was gentle, almost compassionate, yet contained a certain serene coldness:
“Gammary Quinn, the Void-Crossing Demon… I want to ask you a question.”

Hidden within the tumor, Gammaly Quinn stared blankly into Nie Weiyang's eyes: "...What?"

"Do you miss the past?" Nie Weiyang asked, "the days before you became a Void-Crossing Demon."

The Voidwalkers reproduce by transforming other races with souls. The failed ones are turned into materials, food, beacons, or other items—and all Voidwalkers were once outstanding individuals of other races.

As an 'outstanding individual' capable of withstanding transformation, Gammaly Quinn has ended up like this...

“What…once?” Gammaly Quinn murmured. “…No, never. I am no longer Homo sapiens, never…”

...It's a disgrace to Homo sapiens.

Nie Weiyang confirmed his guess. He let out a soft breath, stopped the charm induction, and asked again, "So, have you ever thought about death?"

He didn't wait for a reply, as if it didn't matter.

A burst of white light suddenly erupted from the sword.

"Remember, practice makes perfect—this is the wisdom of Homo sapiens."
