Chapter 556 - B-Boss, There’s a Mouse!

Faido stepped forward and broke the six Heavenrender life forms’ seal. All six suffered from backlash. Their armor bore the brunt of it and shattered, preserving their lives at the cost of total destruction.

Han Wu frowned. Faido was clearly abnormal. He was much stronger than he had been in the previous fight!

How did Faido, who was supposed to be recovering, shatter the six powerful Heavenrender life forms’ seal? What’s happening?

Han Wu didn’t have an answer, but the Origin of Mutation understood at once. It quickly whispered to Han Wu to activate Replicate immediately.

Han Wu did so without hesitation. He was already a Heavenrender life form and could channel more energy from the Origin of Mutation.

The Divine Ring with four attributes rose behind him, and powerful elemental energy surged into his body. He converted it into dense energy armor and donned it, preventing his flesh from collapsing due to the overbearing energy.

The Origin of Mutation also released its full power. Compared to Han Wu, its Divine Ring manifested faint illusions of the four Divine Kings encircling it: a phoenix, a snake, a Skywyrm, and a giant ape. Evidently, the Origin of Mutation had deepened its understanding of the World rank.

Faido bristled when he saw the four illusions. With just a single step, he appeared directly in front of the Origin of Mutation, swung his fist with overwhelming speed, and punched it.

The Origin of Mutation was hurled backward for tens of kilometers before it could steady itself. The impact point had shattered into pieces, its flesh falling apart like sand. Yet in the next instant, the Origin of Mutation swiftly recovered itself.

This recovery was not due solely to its powerful regenerative abilities and genes. It also stemmed from the flesh it had previously assimilated from Faido. He had been a World life form for a very long time. Even after being separated, his flesh still brimmed with astonishing vitality and regenerative powers.

After confirming its suspicion, the Origin of Mutation shouted, “Vessel, be careful of his shadow!”

Han Wu quickly shifted his attention to Faido’s shadow. Thanks to the warning, he noticed that Faido’s shadow was unusually dark and didn’t align perfectly with Faido’s movements.

Faido showed no concern that his trump card had been exposed. Instead, he spoke with calm deliberation. “It seems that I no longer need to hide it. Shadow Demon, come out!”

A black figure slowly rose from Faido’s shadow. Its true face remained indistinct, but its silhouette resembled Faido’s.

Han Wu suddenly noticed a completely black Divine Ring floating behind Shadow Demon. It was a World life form, and it was at its peak. The sight caught him completely unprepared. He would have hesitated if he knew that the Asura Coliseum had two World life forms, but it was too late now. He was already on the battlefield, with no other choice but to fight.

At that moment, the Umbral Mouse squealed and jumped with delight. “

Hehe

! Master, I smell something delicious. That black shadow smells amazing. Can I eat it?”

Han Wu stopped it. It was only a Heavenrender life form, and he feared that even a single punch would kill it.

“That thing is a World life form. You can’t defeat it,” Han Wu said.

The Umbral Mouse chuckled. “Don’t worry, Master. I am extremely fast. It can’t catch me, and I can eat it!”

Han Wu was perplexed. The Umbral Mouse was the weakest among his Heavenrender units, or rather, it possessed almost no combat ability. It excelled in escaping, stealing, and assisting. He had never imagined that it could play a crucial role in this situation.

He had been considering how to deal with the World Shadow Demon, and with the Umbral Mouse stepping up, he wasn’t as pressured as before. “Be careful.”

With his permission, the Umbral Mouse shot forward like lightning.

Faido saw a shadow hurling toward him and prepared to attack, only to find his fist locked in midair. He couldn’t swing his fist down at all.

Faido shouted at Shadow Demon, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you copying my movement?”

“B-Boss, there’s a mouse!” Shadow Demon stuttered.

Faido was stunned. “What? What are you talking about?”

How could a World life form be afraid of a mouse? He felt his perception shift wildly.

“Boss, it's here! It’s going to eat me. I have to run now. Please don’t bite me...” Shadow Demon’s tone changed from fear to horror, then collapsed into raw panic.

Faido mistakenly assumed that Shadow Demon was a spy Han Wu had planted to sabotage him. That assumption collapsed when he sensed Shadow Demon's genuine terror. The Umbral Mouse tore into it, and Shadow Demon couldn’t escape. The fear was primal, like that of prey encountering its natural predator.

Faido was still a World life form, but without Shadow Demon’s assistance, his strength visibly waned.

Han Wu and Origin of Mutation approached him with dense energy in their palms. “Lord Faido, time for a real fight!”

The three Heavenrender life forms wanted to help Faido, but he ordered them to assist Shadow Demon in getting rid of the Umbral Mouse. “You lot, go and deal with that mouse! You can’t do anything here to help me.”

Han Wu’s six Heavenrender life forms wouldn’t give them the chance, so they quickly surrounded the three foes. The Asura Coliseum was now losing against the Blood Coliseum. It was only a matter of time before one side fell.
