As Lin Feng regained consciousness, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense emotions and bodies finally relaxed. Many people even collapsed directly to the ground, exhausted and powerless.

"I'm sorry."

Looking at the devastated hall and the injured allies, Lin Feng apologized.

Earlier, his mind had been forcibly taken over by the Nightmare, and he lost control of his body, his consciousness falling into slumber.

He couldn't see what happened, but he could guess.

With the Nightmare's power, if it wanted to escape, no one could stop it.

It didn't flee, clearly intending to use his identity, prompting it to try to kill everyone.

Lin Feng surveyed the surroundings; everyone was injured, but no one had died.

"We can't blame you; we also share responsibility, and besides, you look worse than me."

Looking at Lin Feng, whose face was ghostly pale and skeletal, Ye Xing smiled.

The Nightmare's possession of Lin Feng was greatly related to supporting their absorption of a Soul Skill.

As beneficiaries, they could not reproach Lin Feng.

Soul Skills are crucial for a Demon Spirit Master.

For a good Soul Skill, Demon Spirit Masters are willing to risk their lives.

They paid nothing but gained much, so there's nothing to complain about.

The only grievance is that Lin Feng told only He Jun about it and didn't tell them.

If they had been prepared, they wouldn't have been so passive.

Of course, Lin Feng surely didn't foresee it either.

"Thank you for understanding."

Lin Feng lightly patted Ye Xing's chest, not saying much more.

He anticipated this day would come.

Half a year ago, he had already laid a backup plan within He Jun's body.

He just hadn't expected this day to come so soon.

As for whether anyone blamed him, Lin Feng didn't really care.

If they had issues, they could leave the Avengers Alliance.

He wouldn't try to keep them.

Having enjoyed the benefits, they naturally had to bear the risks.

Whether it's him or others, it's the same.

Even with the lethal threat, Lin Feng never regretted refining the Nightmare.

Whether it was two years ago or now, he had no regrets.

If given the choice again, he would still refine the Nightmare!

Because he had seen the massacre scenes, seen various severed limbs, felt the sticky sensation of blood up to his knees swaying slightly.

He knew what the future held, with no time for him to grow step by step.

If not for refining the Nightmare, what could he have changed?

What's the point of clinging to life for a few more years?

"How is He Jun?"

Lin Feng approached He Jun, who was wearing a green mushroom hat, its glow making her face look somewhat eerie.

He Jun's entire skin was still covered with blood-colored curse seals, not dissipating. Her brows furrowed tightly, her face occasionally twitching slightly, seemingly still sensing pain even in a coma.

"The external injuries are okay, but the internal injuries are severe. Fortunately, they are not life-threatening. Her Spiritual Power and Soul Power are severely exhausted, so she's fallen into a coma."

While treating He Jun, Chen Tianming explained.

Hearing that He Jun wasn't in serious danger, Lin Feng felt relieved.

Plans are plans, but he couldn't guarantee sure success.

After all, this time the sacrifice was a demigod!

"What's up with Bing?"

Looking at Bing, who lay behind He Jun, his body covered in blood and flesh, Lin Feng asked confusedly.

Compared to He Jun, Bing looked more severely injured, his body a macabre sight, skin cracked like a spider's web, appearing extremely terrifying.

"Bing used his ability to transfer some of the damage from He Jun! If it weren't for Bing, He Jun wouldn't have been able to withstand it!"

Dong Yunan explained.

Lin Feng was silent for a while, gazing at Bing with a somewhat peculiar expression.

As for Bing's identity as an Abnormal Person, Lin Feng didn't despise it, or he wouldn't have allowed Bing to join the Avengers Alliance.

But undeniably, he had some reservations.

This was also why he tested Bing for a period before signing the contract.

He didn't know if Bing could be trusted, especially with alien blood in his veins.

Providing Bing with the Blood-colored Scarecrow, Lin Feng hesitated for some time, unsure if it was worth it.

After all, it was an Earth Chart Demon Spirit, worth billions.

Exchanging the Blood-colored Scarecrow for Bing was Lin Feng's decision, a choice about which some team members had reservations.

After all, Bing had just joined the alliance, was weak, and had not shown any value.

During these past six months, he was entirely a burdensome role.

At this moment, Bing proved his value to everyone.

And through facts and life, he told Lin Feng that he was trustworthy, beyond doubt.

"That was close; almost died!"

Yu Qiao stepped forward and said, still with a hint of lingering fear.

Looking at the miserable Bing, his gaze held more recognition.

"What exactly is that Nightmare? Why does it have its own consciousness?"

Ye Xing walked up to Lin Feng and directly asked.

He had already exited the Demon Transformation state, his limp arms hanging down; in the previous battle, his arms were crushed by the Nightmare wielding the Starlight Hammer.

Fractured bones are not something easily healed with Healing Techniques.

This injury requires surgery, at least ten days to half a month to recover.

"It's a Demon Spirit never before recorded, possessing its own consciousness from the day it was refined!"

Lin Feng explained.

But he didn't disclose the real identity of the Nightmare.

There is no benefit in letting others know the true identity of a demigod.

"You can assist us in absorbing soul skills because of this Demon Spirit's inherent skills?"

Ye Xing continued to ask.

Previously, Lin Feng had claimed it was his bloodline ability, which was obviously a casual lie.

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.

There was no need to hide it, and nothing to be concealed.

"Is this Demon Spirit like the Soul-devouring Beast, able to forcibly seize the inherent soul skills of others' Demon Spirits?"

Ye Xing looked into Lin Feng's eyes.

Although he was already sure of it in his heart, he still wanted Lin Feng to confirm it personally.

In his view, this ability was as incredible as a Demon Spirit possessing intelligence.

Even more so.

The Nightmare's inherent skills are like a cheat code for a Demon Spirit Master.

With that thought, Ye Xing could understand why, despite the deadly aftereffects, Lin Feng would still refine and not give up on this Demon Spirit.

This temptation is indeed irresistible.

If there were no aftereffects, Lin Feng would be invincible in the future, and no one could be his opponent.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Lin Feng nodded in confirmation, drawing gasps of shock.

Among them, a few people's expressions changed slightly, including Ye Qiu and Ye Xing.

Because this also meant Lin Feng could seize their inherent skills.

The Thorny Demon Dragon's [Hell Dragon Flame], and the Frenzied Giant Beast's [Hot-blooded Frenzy], one a Divine Level soul skill, the other a Diamond soul skill, both belonged to the top-level soul skills that no Demon Spirit Master would refuse.

Although Lin Feng would not kill them to seize their inherent skills, the threat of it still made people wary.

Furthermore, Lin Feng might not, but the Nightmare might!

Lin Feng noticed Ye Qiu's change in expression and quickly guessed his thoughts, so he said, "I've tested it, this ability only works on the Alien Race."

With these words, Ye Qiu and Ye Xing's expressions relaxed.

They did not doubt Lin Feng's words, and the fact was exactly that, Lin Feng had no reason to lie to them.

There were still many doubts; questions came one after another, and Lin Feng did not hide anything, satisfying everyone's curiosity.

"We won't rely on you to absorb soul skills in the future, it was frightening." Yang Ningbing said.

"Right, our combination of soul skills is luxurious enough, we shouldn't be too greedy!" Yun Kai said.

Initially, after knowing the terrible aftereffects, he disagreed with using Lin Feng's ability to absorb soul skills.

"Yun Tianqi and I have both absorbed the ninth soul skill, so we don't need to continue absorbing." Ye Xing said.

"Mm, solve it yourselves." Lin Feng chuckled.

In the future, the Nightmare's power should be used less.

This time is a warning to himself, although the plan succeeded and the Nightmare did not success in possession, as the Nightmare grows stronger, assimilation deepens, and there will still be danger in the future.

Luckily, this time the Nightmare was also considerably injured, so it won't recover its strength so quickly.

"Will that Nightmare appear again?" Yu Qiao asked.

"Yes!"

Lin Feng's expression was slightly grave, without any hesitation, he said, "As I grow stronger, it will also grow stronger, and assimilation will deepen, when I am weak, it will seize the opportunity to take over my body, and this Demon Spirit, like He Jun's, cannot be abandoned!"

With these words, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat delicate.

That the Nightmare may appear also means the threat still looms.

"It's fine, there's still He Jun!" Dong Yunan said.

"In a few days, He Jun may not be able to withstand."

Lin Feng shook his head, "After the King Becoming plan this time, I will go to the Pure Land, to seek a solution there!"

The Pure Land!

Hearing this name, everyone's expressions turned serious.

It's the world's number one organization, even major countries in the world dare not provoke it.

Perhaps only by going there can a solution be found.

"Earlier, I was the first to speak up about killing you!"

As the crowd chatted, the previously silent Yun Tianqi suddenly said.

The crowd's expressions were subtle, they looked at Yun Tianqi.

"I also supported it, your mind had already been taken over, and we didn't know if you'd retained any control."

Ye Xing was the second to speak.

"Me too."

Yu Qiao was the third to speak.

Yue Mingming looked somewhat guilty but also stood up, "I agreed too."

At this time, Yun Kai and several others looked worried.

If not handled well, the alliance might dissolve right here.

"Is that so?"

Lin Feng looked at the four people and smiled, "So, what do you want to say?"

"You don't mind?"

Seeing Lin Feng so calm, Yun Tianqi was a bit puzzled.

"Mind what? If it were you who was taken over, I would have made the same choice, and far more decisively."

Lin Feng patted Yun Tianqi on the shoulder and smiled, "I already consider myself a sacrifice, you think I would blame you?"

"As long as you don't hold a grudge, that's good."

Yun Tianqi's serious expression showed a slight smile.

"I told you Brother Feng isn't that petty." Yue Mingming said with a laugh.

"Alright, once you're healed, let's go back, take some time off, and start the rescue mission!" Lin Feng said.

When money is involved, naturally you have to get things done.

He was also very curious about what kind of big shot was so valuable!
