Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

"Only I can take your life at any time."

After saying that, Pan Taining raised his hand and placed it on Tang Qiao's already stiff shoulder.

In an instant, Tang Qiao froze, his messy hair rustling as his clothes became mottled and worn.

His face was sunken. His cheekbones were stretched by a thin layer of skin, his lips were chapped, and his eye sockets were deep-set like two dark holes.

Just over ten seconds later, Tang Qiao collapsed to the ground and fell silent.

Advanced time-manipulation ability users may not be able to shorten a person's lifespan by several decades, but they can certainly shorten it by one year.

Su Han gasped, her gaze towards Pan Taining becoming serious.

Pan Taining did it on purpose. After learning of Tang Qiao's betrayal, he deliberately shortened Tang Qiao's lifespan so that he could completely control him.

He's always been like this, using any means necessary.

After finishing off Tang Qiao, Pan Taining looked up and met Shen Chengyin's cold gaze.

Shen Chengyin's ability level is far higher than his... a false god, he could easily destroy the entire Dawn Base.

but--

Pan Taining curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Shen Chengyin, I admit you're very strong."

"But you died by my hand in your past life, and you will die by my hand in this life as well."

Shen Chengyin's eyes changed instantly.

That was a look Su Han had never seen before, filled with deep hatred and a trembling fear that sent shivers down her spine.

"dream."

"SUH-37, come here."

Shen Chengyin and Pan Taining's voices rang out simultaneously. Shen Chengyin's attack was a killing blow; scorching flames instantly erupted from Pan Taining's feet, enveloping him completely and turning him into a burning fireball.

A figure brushed past Shen Chengyin.

Shen Chengyin was stunned.

He instinctively reached for Su Han's arm, but no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't pull him back.

Su Han led Shen Chengyin forward, stumbling along, with Shen Chengyin following behind, each step unsteady.

The other person's hand was like iron, like metal, cold and hard, so cold that it hurt his palms, and he couldn't hold it no matter what.

Why can't I hold on to it?

How could I not hold on?

"Let go!!!"

Lin Leyang pounced on him from behind, locking his arms around his waist and dragging him backward. Shen Chengyin was pulled backward.

"Are you fucking crazy?! What if he injects you with a power-inactivating drug instead of a power-enhancing drug if you approach him so recklessly?!"

The man in front of him was incredibly strong and as stubborn as an ox. Lin Leyang's glasses were askew as he struggled to hold him back.

Shen Chengyin watched helplessly as his hand slipped from Su Han's wrist.

No.

It shouldn't be like this.

Fearing that he might hurt Su Han, he extinguished the flames on Pan Taining's body when Su Han approached him.

Pan Taining quickly used his time-manipulation ability to repair himself and faced Shen Chengyin as if nothing had happened, with a slight smile on his face.

His trembling arms indicated that he was at his limit; a few more blows would drain his time manipulation ability, turning him into a corpse.

Su Han walked behind Pan Taining and stood still.

He didn't look at Shen Chengyin even once from beginning to end.

"Oh, junior brother. I thought you were dead when I didn't see you in this life." Pan Taining narrowed his eyes when he saw Lin Leyang. "I didn't expect you to have betrayed us. It would have been better if you were dead."

"Pan Taining!" Lin Leyang cursed, "You taught me to take responsibility for my mistakes! Now you also have to take responsibility for the whole world!"

Pan Taining smiled and shook his head, a gentle light appearing in his eyes.

"Only you would believe such a lie meant for a child."

When he looked up again, the gentleness in his eyes had vanished.

"Shen Chengyin, do you know who stole your path to godhood?"

No one answered.

Pan Tai added to himself:

"How ridiculous! After all this hard work, the right to become a god was taken away by the person you trusted most. Shen Chengyin, you're a joke."

Shen Chengyin's veins bulged and his eyes turned red.

He stood there, not listening to what Pan Taining said, all eyes were on Su Han's face.

That face, so familiar to him to the core, was expressionless at this moment, not even giving him a glance.

Pan Taining laughed even more heartily.

"You don't know yet, do you? SUH-37 has awakened a law-based ability. What a coincidence, SUH-37 was already marked with my mental imprint long ago. This is fate, Shen Chengyin, you have to accept it whether you want to or not."

A sinister smile gradually appeared on Pan Taining's face.

He had been trembling with excitement ever since SUH-37 killed so many superhumans two months ago.

His experimental subject awakened a law-based superpower? He had painstakingly planned for so long, only to have it delivered right to his doorstep.

Fate is truly fascinating.

"Kill Shen Chengyin, good boy," Pan Taining ordered Su Han in a hoarse voice. "Only you can kill him now."

Shen Chengyin took two steps forward, and Lin Leyang pulled him back with all his might.

"My dear great-uncle, please believe him! He's the strongest experimental subject, every single one of his scores is S-rank—"

Su Han's stiff face finally showed a slight change because of Pan Taining's order.

"Doctor," he said softly, "there's something you said that's incorrect."

"Um?"

"It's true that you developed the Nirvana Reagent, but it was actually developed by injecting it into my body."

"The one who understands the Nirvana Reagent best is me, not you."
