The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 409 Payne

Logically speaking, even a strong ninja would struggle against her attack, but this person remained completely still, which made her vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Just as Xiao Nan was wondering, suddenly, the papers tightly wrapped around Weiss began to burst into flames. The fire spread rapidly and burned all the papers to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Wes, on the other hand, stood unharmed, his clothes without a single wrinkle.

"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary ninja."

Seeing this, Xiao Nan became even more serious. She knew that the person who could so easily defuse her move was no ordinary person. She put away her previous slight contempt and became serious.

Immediately afterwards, Konan formed hand seals again and unleashed an even more powerful Paper Release ninjutsu. In an instant, the paper, like a surging tide, swept towards Wes from all directions, each sheet transforming into a sharp blade.

However, Wes remained calm and composed. He simply raised his hand, and invisible forces surged from his palm, deflecting and shattering the papers that were attacking him.

Seeing this, Konan gritted her teeth and continued to increase her chakra output, making her attacks even more fierce. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through Wes's defense. Instead, her own chakra was decreasing at a visible rate under this high-intensity consumption.

A minute later, Konan's face grew even paler, large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, she knelt on one knee, panting heavily, her body trembling slightly from exhaustion of chakra.

At this moment, she no longer possessed her previous composure and coldness; her eyes were filled with exhaustion and resentment.

Wes then extended his finger, with a blue orb the size of a thumb floating at its tip.

This was all the chakra he had just extracted from Konan's body. Wes looked at the ball of light, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "Chakra, huh? Nothing special."

In the instant he exchanged blows with Konan, he had already figured out the principles of chakra by relying on his powerful sensory abilities and unique understanding of energy.

He knew that this was just a form of energy that could be controlled and utilized, and among the many power systems he had encountered, it was not particularly profound.

"Who exactly are you?"

Xiao Nan struggled to her feet, her eyes filled with disbelief and resentment.

As a highly capable member of the Akatsuki organization, she never expected to be defeated so easily by an unknown person she had never heard of before. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her pride in her strength.

[They are not from the five great nations, yet they possess such terrifying strength.]

Xiao Nan pondered to herself, for she had never received any information about Wes before; this person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

But now, this mysterious person stands like an insurmountable mountain in front of her, making her feel unprecedented pressure.

Wes seemed not to hear Xiao Nan's question, offering no response. He merely raised his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the surrounding space, fixed on a hidden corner in the shadows: "Aren't you coming out?"

As his words fell, a strange wave spread through the air, and then the figure of 'Pain the Deva Path' slowly emerged.

"Pay, be careful, this guy is not simple."

Konan quickly spoke up to remind him. She knew how powerful Wes was, and now that Pain had appeared, she was afraid that Pain would suffer because he underestimated him. After all, this mysterious man had just easily neutralized her full-force attack and drained all of her chakra.

Payne, the "Heavenly Path," nodded slightly, a serious look in his eyes. He sized Wes up and down before asking again, "Who are you?"

His voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

However, Wes still did not answer him. He simply held up two fingers with a calm expression, his tone flat yet conveying an unyielding resolve, and said, "I'll give you two choices: submit or die."

A surge of immense power erupted from within 'Heavenly Dao'—it was the chakra he deliberately released. Like a surging wave, it instantly spread outwards, its powerful aura causing the surrounding space to subtly distort.

Payne stared at Wes with disdain and said coldly, "Foolish."

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, the figures of the Six Paths of Pain appeared one after another, instantly surrounding Wes.

The six of them stood in a staggered formation, forming an impenetrable encirclement that trapped Wes in the middle.

"Let go of Xiao Nan, and I'll give you a quick death."

The six Paths of Pain spoke in unison, their voices filled with a chilling killing intent.

Wes remained unfazed. Faced with Payne's aggressive approach, he was like a towering mountain, unmoved by the raging storm.

He shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his voice, and said softly, "He made the worst choice."

At this moment, Shura Dao quickly threw off his coat.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Asura's original body began to undergo strange changes. Amidst the clattering sounds of machinery, his body gradually transformed into a three-headed, six-armed form.

A part of his head slowly opened, and a dazzling beam of light instantly converged. Immediately afterwards, a powerful laser cannon shot straight towards Wes.

However, Wes simply tilted his head calmly, and the laser cannon whistled past his cheek, shooting straight behind him and instantly piercing through several buildings.

With a deafening roar, the buildings, struck by the laser cannon, first developed huge holes in their walls, and then collapsed like unsupported building blocks.

In the midst of this chaos, taking advantage of the cover created by the Asura Path's attack, the Human Path suddenly attacked Wes like a ghost.

If they can successfully touch Wes, the battle could end instantly.

Human Path possesses two extremely troublesome abilities: reading memories and extracting chakra. In past battles, many enemies have been caught off guard and defeated by him.

"We succeeded!"

Human Path suddenly accelerated, closing in on Wes in the blink of an eye. Without hesitation, he reached out and placed his hand firmly on Wes's chest. Then, he quickly activated his ability, attempting to read Wes's memories and extract his chakra.

To his surprise, the ability that had always worked in the past failed him this time.

"Your understanding of the soul is too shallow."

Wes looked at the human world with a hint of pity in his eyes and said softly.

Before he could finish speaking, and before Nagato could react, he felt as if a stick had been shoved into his head. The sudden, intense pain and the invasive sensation caused his thoughts to become momentarily confused, and his body trembled slightly.
