Chapter 490: Chapter 478: Confession Letter

Elwin arranged the spoils of war neatly in front of Chen Feng.

Six Soul Stones caught everyone’s attention, shimmering with vibrant colors like an aurora on their surface.

Their appearance was undeniably that of a stone, but they emitted a subtle fragrance, not perceived by smell, but a fatal allure felt on a soul level.

In Chen Feng’s mind, a voice kept whispering, urging him... to eat it!

This temptation was irresistible. Chen Feng stepped forward and grasped a Soul Stone, immediately feeling a strong suction in his palm, as if extracting some energy from the stone, while the shimmering aurora on its surface was absorbed into his body.

Chen Feng closed his eyes, experiencing an unprecedented sensation of comfort, like a cleansing of the soul, with the dust clinging to his soul slowly peeling away.

"Ah... what is this accursed thing, my power, it’s disappearing..."

As the Soul Stone gradually absorbed, the blood-soaked second personality reemerged in Chen Feng’s consciousness. However, this time, its body was pitted and eroded, giving it a pitiful appearance.

It glared at Chen Feng, filled with resentment and anger, unlike the carefree demeanor from before. It realized that this was all Chen Feng’s doing, a challenge from the body’s true master.

Chen Feng watched like a spectator, quietly observing everything. If not for the sudden appearance of the second personality, he would never have known of the Soul Stone’s miraculous effect.

Indeed.

The Soul Stone had the power to cleanse the soul, and being the dark side within, was also its target for purification. Judging by the other’s pitiful expression, the pure Power of the Soul was clearly causing it some harm.

Chen Feng picked up another stone and absorbed it into his body, witnessing a shocking scene unfold before his eyes.

The second personality’s body seemed to be engulfed in black flames, flames that could not be extinguished no matter how they were beaten, and numerous Resentful Spirits were clinging to the second personality, gnawing and tearing at its flesh with their claws and teeth.

Chen Feng watched with interest, having initially worried about the second personality causing trouble at critical moments, as even a moment’s distraction in a life-or-death battle could lead to total defeat.

But now...

The Soul Stone was actually capable of seriously injuring the second personality, leading Chen Feng to wonder if perhaps with enough Soul Stones, it might be completely purified.

The third stone...

The second personality was fiercely savage.

The fourth stone...

The second personality laughed violently and maliciously.

But just as Chen Feng was about to pick up the fifth stone, the second personality suddenly knelt on the ground, its previously brutal expression transforming into extreme humility.

From Chen Feng’s perspective, it looked like a wild dog with a broken leg, barely crawling to the roadside.

At this moment, it was so fragile, as if a gentle kick could make it vanish from sight.

The nightmare in his mind now appeared like this, and while Chen Feng should have felt some relief, the fact that the second personality shared the same face as himself left him feeling somewhat morose.

"Brother... don’t kill me!"

When the second personality called him brother, Chen Feng was initially resistant, but seeing the sincere repentance in its eyes, his right hand trembled, and he gripped the fifth Soul Stone.

"Ah..."

This time, the flames on the second personality grew even more ferocious, and the Resentful Spirits seemed bolder than ever, with dozens of miniature spirits clinging to it, viciously biting.

They resented being trapped in this stone, devoured by others, but they had no choice. They had been killed by a Lich far more powerful than them, and their fate was sealed the moment they were devoured, their final value evaporating.

Yet, as they were about to fade, they discovered the opportunity to inflict harm, and they became ecstatic.

They didn’t care whether the target was innocent, nor did they concern themselves with past grievances; they had only one purpose—to make the target endure more pain, hoping to satisfy their deep-seated resentment.

The second personality hunched over, weakened by the baptism of five Soul Stones, not only losing a leg to gnawing but also having its eyes, ears, and even teeth torn apart by the Resentful Spirits!

But despite this, it no longer showed any trace of hatred; instead, like a child who had done wrong, it looked at Chen Feng, trembling, and said, "Brother... I was wrong, treat me like a dog, a pig, keep me alive, I can do many things for you—killing, arson, anything you dare not do yourself, I can carry out for you. How about a Blood Sacrifice of the entire city? Or making Xu Hongzhuang lie on the bed, and also... also... Izso has mastered the Transformation Skill, and you haven’t yet experienced it with a dragon..."

Chen Feng looked at it with a trace of sorrow.

This is the dark side within my heart.

Violence is just one aspect; it amplifies all negative emotions countless times over, forgetting shame, ethics, and even the most basic decency, turning everything into utter darkness.

Yet despite this, Chen Feng found himself intrigued by it. Everyone has their curiosity, and Chen Feng was no exception. He wanted to know just how degenerate the other side could become.

"You say you can do anything for me?" Chen Feng asked.

Hearing Chen Feng’s response, the second personality seemed invigorated, leaping up instantly. Even with some resentful spirits gnawing on him, it was still full of enthusiasm, saying, "Brother... anything! I’m just a part of you. What is this world? It’s the apocalypse! We... no... you could live so much better, why be constrained by reason?"

"People? In this world, are those pests even considered people? They’re vampires clinging to you, sucking your blood every second. Why give them hope? They should die in this disaster!"

"You only need to give me some time, a day, no! Half a day is enough. We first solve things here; then I will gather everyone outside and kill them all. Imagine, hundreds of thousands all sacrificed in blood. By then, you could completely break into a stronger state! Legendary? Epic is possible!"

"Of course, killing those women is a waste. You can fully enjoy them first. Mature women? Young girls? Imagine those alluring postures! Brother, they’re all yours. You can completely own them, just make everyone fear you. Reverence? What use is that? That pitiful power of faith is utterly useless!"

The second personality appeared somewhat manic, laughing enthusiastically, turning instantly murderous with anger. It was like an emotional puppet, leaving one unclear about which was its true self!

Listen to what it’s been saying.

Murder, arson, rape, plunder.

In the blueprint envisaged by the other, the landscape that Chen Feng spent a year and countless energies to create, it seeks to destroy in the shortest possible time.

It calls itself brother, which is not wrong, as it is part of oneself.

It wants to destroy order, which is not wrong, as it is inherently a dark side. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

It wants to sacrifice the entire force in blood, which also is not wrong, as it’s ultimately for its own good.

So Chen Feng wanted to offer it a reward. Then... how about a Soul Stone?

Sixth, grip!

The second personality was still eloquently speaking as if it were a gambler who’d lost everything, finally hitting a five million prize at the raffle upon the boss’s reminder.

But just when he was holding the ticket, dreaming with the boss tentang blueprints and division, promising to repay the boss’s selfless reminder, the boss smiled, took the ticket, tore it in half, folded it, tore it again, then threw it on the ground, stomped on it hard, and finally spit a sticky phlegm.

The resentful spirits descended once more on the second personality, but this time, it did not cry or fuss, just turned around, raised its head, and looked at Chen Feng, a mix of disappointment, anger, an inability to steel itself, and a tinge of inexpressible hatred.

It hated Chen Feng’s indecisiveness.

It hated Chen Feng’s focus on the bigger picture.

It hated Chen Feng for wasting the current power!

Of course, it hated itself more, why it was just a dark consciousness, like a specter that couldn’t be seen in the light, unable to stand in the world openly.

The second personality had a lot to say, but when it came to its lips, it only turned into three words.

"Just you wait."

It vanished.

Indeed, when the second personality uttered a sentence as commonly heard as a schoolyard fight when being KO’d, refusing to admit defeat, saying the most frequently heard phrase, it disappeared before Chen Feng.

Chen Feng laughed self-deprecatingly.

His brother didn’t die; this mischievous scamp who liked to play pranks just fell off a roof, broke a leg, and was recuperating somewhere unknown.

It is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Chen Feng’s next lapse, then suddenly pouncing, wrenching off his limbs, snapping his neck, digging his heart out, climbing inside to become him.

And Chen Feng is also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the next time the other appears, to hold it tight, take it to a higher building, and throw it down hard. He’s striving to make sure the next time not just one leg is broken, but the entire body shatters, never to heal again!

Look at these brothers.

Their relationship is truly deep.
