Book 5: Chapter 29: The Golden-Haired, Perverted, Masked Man

“Humph!” After biting Chen Heng, Sirin flew to the side to check Bella’s wounds, leaving Chen Heng and Welt alone.

“So, Anti-Entropy’s leader, are you interested in a deal?” Chen Heng asked Welt in an extremely enticing tone.

“What deal?” Welt eyed Chen Heng warily, as Chen Heng did not fit the image he had in mind, more resembling a manipulator behind the scene.

“You...do you know what is behind the moon?”

“The back of the moon? What was behind the moon?” Welt could be said to know and not know the answer.

There was a place covered by Honkai Energy at the back of the moon. Both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy knew about this. However, they did not know what this Honkai-Energy-covered place hid.

“The back of the moon hides the legacy of a previous civilization. There is plenty of data for resisting the Honkai and...”

“And what?” If not for the Herrscher of the Void’s ghostly hands restraining his body, Welt would have slapped Chen Heng.

People who deliberately keep people in suspense are truly despicable!

“Then let me ask you a question. Do you have someone you want to bring back to life?” Now, Chen Heng’s tone made Welt feel the person before him was a devil tempting him.

To achieve his goal, Chen Heng even used a weak entrancing technique.

“What do you mean? Does the back of the moon have something to resurrect people?” Welt instantly became excited. He was not a sage, after all. Of course, he wanted something. The power to resurrect people was something practically everyone wanted.

The one that Welt wanted to resurrect the most was, of course, the first-generation Welt. The real Welt’s death was the pain of his entire life.

Not just Welt felt extremely excited. Otto, who had been hiding behind a burned tree after the battle, also felt extremely excited upon hearing this news. He had astonishing self-control, but even so, he felt flustered.

Of course, Otto did his best to control himself. He did not immediately rush up to the man who could stand in the sky with his own abilities to ask about it.

Chen Heng’s Will Energy was horrifyingly strong, which greatly boosted the effects of techniques that affected the soul, mind, or consciousness, like the Soul Capture Technique.

Furthermore, another big reason Chen Heng could easily pull out Welt’s soul was Welt’s cooperativeness.

“How do you feel?” Chen Heng asked Welt, whose soul was floating in the air.

“Incredible,” Welt marveled as he looked at his transparent soul body and the ghostly hands holding his physical body.

“Alright, alright. Experiencing it once is enough. Being out for too long can cause irreversible harm to the soul.” Chen Heng looked at the astonished Welt, then casually shoved Welt’s soul back into his body.

“Then—” (Is the first-generation Herrscher of Reason’s soul still around?) Welt wanted to ask when his soul returned to his body, but Chen Heng interrupted him.

“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t ask me where the first-generation Welt’s soul is. I don’t know the answer.”

“You—” (How did you know what I wanted to say?)

“Also, don’t ask me why I know what you want to say.”

“You—” (You...are you able to see the future?)

“How can that be? How can ordinary people believe in seeing the future? Do you believe in it? In any case, I don’t.”

“...” Welt shut up, indicating he had nothing to say. What could he say? Chen Heng had answered everything before he could ask what he wanted to ask.

Chen Heng’s finger gently swiped down. Then two spatial blades silently sliced off the ghostly hands holding the Herrscher of Reason, undoing his restraints. He even used his attraction ability to support Welt to prevent the significantly injured Welt from crashing to death from a great height.

“It is time for a certain golden-haired, perverted, masked man to show himself, right? You’ve been standing there for over three minutes already; aren’t you going to at least show your face? You should be very interested in the topic we just discussed, right?”

Chen Heng glanced at the tree Otto was hiding behind. Then he used his attraction ability to rip out the half-dead tree, exposing the golden-haired man wearing a white tailcoat.
