Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Liberation
Although Ling Feng had many questions in his heart, he had reached the point where he had no choice but to act!
"Slash!" Ling Feng let out a low shout, and the Mo Yu Sword in the sky, carrying an irresistible Sword Qi, targeted Klau as he charged.
"Block this for me!" A gigantic black Shield appeared in front of Klau, densely covered with the strange and monstrous figures of huge beasts.
Boom, the Mo Yu Sword descended from the heavens, striking the Shield with a heavy blow, resulting in a massive explosion. The figure of Klau was also buried by the dust stirred up.
Ling Feng waved his hand, a Gale swept away the flying dust, revealing the scene inside.
Even though Ling Fengâs move was a weakened version of the God Annihilating Slash, possessing less than one percent of the originalâs power, it was still not to be underestimated.
In the center of the explosion, the Mo Yu Sword had already penetrated Klauâs Shield; the Longsword pierced through Klauâs body, nailing him to the ground.
"Cough, cough!" Klau tried to struggle, but his body was firmly suppressed by the Mo Yu Sword. Even the slightest movement caused him to endure the devastating power emanating from the sword.
"Youâve lost!" Ling Feng walked up and said indifferently.
Klau had returned to his original appearance, his mouth spewing blood, but there was no fear in his eyes.
"Thatâs right, Iâve lost!" Klau sneered, "I didnât expect you to possess such divine objects. Iâve lost, and Iâve lost convincingly! But donât you get complacent, Ling Feng. The more impressive you are, the stronger the enemies you will face. And let me tell you, youâve already been marked by Hellâs Gate, so you are doomed, ha ha ha..."
Ling Feng looked at Klau, who was laughing sinisterly, and suddenly sighed, "Klau, donât you hold any hatred in your heart?"
"Hatred? Why should I hate? Isnât that what this world is about?" Klau sneered, "The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!"
Ling Feng shook his head, "You say that, but I still hear a strong sense of hatred and unwillingness in your words! Klau, if I remember correctly, you used to have a very happy family, with loving parents, but all of that was destroyed by the Mad Doctor! Look at what youâve become now. Donât you have any hatred in your heart? Can you truly accept all of this?"
Grinding his teeth, Klauâs body continuously writhed. Accept all of this? How could he possibly! But what could he do? Back then, at the Divine Gate, he had endured numerous Gene Experiments, every second an unfathomable agony.
When Ling Feng destroyed his heart, Klau felt no resentmentâonly relief. Because that meant he could leave that pain behind forever!
But when he opened his eyes again, he found himself immersed in a black container, filled with a black, viscous liquid. In that fluid, his wounds healed quickly, but he also underwent more experiments and was transformed into the grotesque being he was now!
Hatred? How could Klau not harbor hatred? He hated the Mad Doctor, he hated Hellâs Gate, but he also hated Ling Feng! If youâre going to kill me, why not kill me completely? Why should I have to endure this endless pain?
After the transformation, Klau gained great strength, but none of it was what he wanted! He wanted revenge, he wanted to destroy everything beautiful, he wanted to see those living in comfort showing expressions of pain, fear, and despair!
Because only then would he feel that he was not a monster, not a pitiable pawn, but a strong being who could control the fate of others!
"Tell me all this!" Ling Feng, staring at Klau with a complex expression, continued, "Tell me everything about Hellâs Gate, tell me the relationship between the Mad Doctor and Hellâs Gate."
"Why! Why should I tell you?" Klau sneered, his face contorting into a grotesque and twisted grimace from the pain.
Ling Feng looked at Klau indifferently, "Because we are both victims! Whether it is you or me, we actually want the same thing, and that is to break free from their control, to gain true freedom! You just failed, while I am still struggling on this path! If you tell me everything, I will naturally exact revenge for this deep-seated hatred!"
After a pause, Ling Feng continued, "You hate them, and you hate me! You hate this world. But if you want us to fight each other to death, the only way is to tell me everything, isnât it?"
Klau glared at Ling Feng, then suddenly laughed, his laughter unrestrained, "Yes, exactly! Hellâs Gate is too powerful, with your strength, you are no match for them! If I donât tell you something, wouldnât the game be boring? If you die too early, who will bring trouble to Hellâs Gate? Thatâs right, this is it, hahaha!"
"Listen closely, Ling Feng!" Suddenly Klauâs expression turned serious as he said to Ling Feng, "Hellâs Gate is very powerful, more powerful than you can imagine! Someone with my strength is merely the lowest tier there, so what I know is not much! But one thing I do know is that Hellâs Gate is not in the same space as ours right now!"
Ling Feng slowly nodded, "I had guessed as much!"
"It is an otherworld known as Hell!" Klau coughed a few times, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, then continued, "The leader of Hellâs Gate is not a human, but a high-level demon from Hell! However, there are also humans in Hellâs Gate, and their status is not low!"
"There are humans in Hellâs Gate?"
"Exactly! Their job is similar to that of the Mad Doctor, focusing on researching how to unleash stronger Dark Forces. There, countless existences like mine undergo gene experiments and transformations before being put to use! Do you find it similar to products churned out on an assembly line? Thatâs correct, we are the tools of Hellâs Gate!" Klau said with a cold laugh.
"As for the Mad Doctor, I donât know what his relationship is with Hellâs Gate, but I believe he must have intricate connections. The experiments and transformations I went through at Hellâs Gate contained many elements of Divine Gate!"
...
Klau talked for over half an hour, and Ling Feng silently listened for just as long. The more information he received, the heavier his heart felt!
Hellâs Gate was strong, so strong it made one feel a bit of despair!
However, from Klauâs words, Ling Feng did hear some good newsâthose who surpassed the Demi-God Domain in Hellâs Gate could not enter Earthâs space, meaning that the strongest beings that came into Earthâs space were only masters of the Demi-God Domain!
"Ling Feng, Iâve told you everything I know!" Clinging on till now, Klau said weakly, "I only have one request now, and I hope you can grant it!"
"Speak!"
"Kill me, give me a quick death!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Klauâs eyes, "Iâve had enough of what I am now, kill me and let me find peace!"
Ling Fengâs heart felt heavy, "Alright, I promise you!"
With that, the Mo Yu Sword suddenly stirred, and a blazing Force of Destruction enveloped Klau in an instant.
"Thank you!" Amidst the flames, Ling Feng heard a voice filled with relief.
