Born to Rule

[Born to Rule]

Weird World.

The omnipresent Fog of War began to churn violently.

A fierce wind swept across the land.

A rumbling roar echoed through the skies.

With the appearance of the Powerful Aberration, the ground beneath Chen Ji's feet continuously twisted and cracked apart!

A wrecked car was instantly crushed to pieces beneath a massive foot descending from the sky!

[Weird Troll]

[Level]: High-Level Weird

[Entries]: Nine Bulls and Two Tigers (Blue), Tough Hide (Green), Bottomless Appetite (Green), Nine Lives (Blue).

[Nine Bulls and Two Tigers] (Blue): The Weird Troll was born with Superhuman Strength.

[Tough Hide] (Green): Physical and magical resistance increased by 50%.

[Bottomless Appetite] (Green): He could eat anything, and his hunger could never be satisfied.

[Nine Lives] (Blue): Even if he was beaten into fragments, he could revive at full health. Current revivals: 1/9.

"Holy shit!"

"Nine Lives?"

"He can revive another eight times?"

"This thing..."

"That's ridiculous!"

Chen Ji stared in disbelief.

The gap between Weirds of different levels was actually greater than the gap between entirely different species!

Two blue talents!

Two green talents!

This Weird Troll's Entry Panel was practically no worse than Chen Ji's!

Because the Weird Troll had no black talent!

And that meant...

The Weird Troll had almost no weaknesses!

"I'm screwed!"

Chen Ji's eyes filled with wariness.

He quietly backed away.

He prayed that the Weird Troll had not noticed him.

However.

The Weird Troll's skull-like face turned, its hollow black eye sockets locking directly onto Chen Ji!

Two ghostly flames lit up!

Like a shark that had smelled blood, the Weird Troll suddenly raised its enormous hand. A deafening sonic boom erupted as it viciously grabbed at him!

"Big brother!"

"Don't provoke him!"

Sugar hurriedly warned him.

However.

Chen Ji's eyes shifted.

His right hand slowly began to trace a circle.

A brilliant, dazzling Mystic Portal appeared out of thin air!

The Weird Troll froze for a moment, but he could not stop his own movement. His giant hand passed through the Mystic Portal.

Then, a wave of excruciating pain hit him!

His giant hand had struck his own head!

A vast and overwhelming force slammed into the back of his skull, making him immediately let out a miserable howl!

His vision went black!

He instantly toppled to one side!

Boom!

Rumble!

The Weird Troll's body crashed heavily to the ground, sending dust flying into the sky and making the earth tremble violently!

The ground split apart.

Fragments of stone shot outward!

They flew straight at Chen Ji's face!

Chen Ji clenched his right fist.

A large, radiant Ring of Ragadol appeared before him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The shattered stones struck the large shield, leaving faint cracks across its surface.

Yet they failed to destroy the magical shield!

"Wow!"

"Big brother!"

"You actually knocked down a Powerful Aberration!"

"That's amazing!"

Sugar's eyes sparkled.

Her adorable fangirl expression greatly satisfied Chen Ji's vanity.

"Keep it down, keep it down."

"While this Powerful Aberration still hasn't recovered, let's hurry back to the Safe Zone!"

Chen Ji took Sugar's little hand and quickly returned to the Safe Zone.

Throughout it all, his heart pounded wildly!

Even Chen Ji himself had not expected the move Old Wong developed to work so well!

After the Snap, Wong had succeeded Doctor Strange as Kamar-Taj's leader and become the new Sorcerer Supreme.

To hone his skills, he had fought Abomination at the Golden Dagger Club!

It was with this very move that he had successfully dealt with Abomination!

As Chen Ji fought more and more, his combat experience steadily increased. No longer bound by any fixed form, he could achieve astonishing results!

However...

With his current strength, killing this Powerful Aberration would be difficult.

He could only hide in the Safe Zone and watch as the Weird Troll slowly woke up. Still groggy and confused, he picked up the corpse of a Nether Wolf from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

Only after eating his fill.

Did the Weird Troll climb back to his feet and head off in another direction.

"Whew."

"Good thing he didn't come this way."

"It looks like I need to use my knowledge from the Encyclopedia of Magic Arrays to reinforce the Safe Zone's defenses as soon as possible!"

Chen Ji's eyes brightened.

Then, he carried over several stones and infused them with magic, giving them certain magical properties.

Following a specific pattern, he arranged them around the Safe Zone.

In an instant.

A gentle breeze swept through.

A thin layer of Fog of War spread faintly through the air, actually concealing the Safe Zone's location.

Of course.

This Concealment Magic Array had no effect on Chen Ji.

Thanks to his innate spiritual perception, he could still track the Concealment Magic Array's coordinates in time.

Sugar's eyes shifted.

She watched Chen Ji carry stones back and forth.

A hint of curiosity rose within her.

"Big brother!"

"You promised to teach me magic!"

"Can we start now?"

Sugar looked at him expectantly.

She felt that Chen Ji was a magical prince who had descended from the heavens.

He had come specifically to save her from misery!

"Of course!"

"I'll teach you an incantation. Make sure you memorize it and recite it silently."

Chen Ji smiled.

Then, he explained to the Weird Doll, in simple and understandable terms, the method from Universal Knowledge of Magic for establishing a dimensional connection.

Sugar perked up her ears, carefully memorizing and silently reciting it.

Very quickly, she remembered the incantation and repeated it once more in front of Chen Ji.

"That's incredible!"

"Sugar."

"You can sit down now and try establishing a soul connection."

Chen Ji was amazed.

Without the boost from the [Total Recall] entry, he probably would have struggled to remember that awkward incantation himself.

However.

Sugar had memorized it effortlessly.

Could it be because her [Childlike Heart] meant her mental age was only three, leaving her thoughts pure and free from distractions?

Chen Ji thought that was highly possible!

"Can I imagine the Soul Anchor as something else?"

"I like scalpels better!"

Sugar slowly sat down, then suddenly furrowed her brows and scrunched up her little face.

Chen Ji could not help but laugh.

"This... doesn't seem to have any restrictions."

Chen Ji was not lying.

He had imagined his spirit as a Soul Anchor only because he believed a Soul Anchor was sturdy enough!

In essence, there was no difference between a scalpel and a Soul Anchor.

Once the connection was established, it would be almost impossible to sever!

Boom!

A sudden thunderous roar rang out.

Chen Ji's eyes widened.

He immediately saw Sugar's soul transform into a gigantic scalpel and violently plunge into the Weird World!

The entire Weird World instantly erupted in turbulent waves. The Fog of War churned madly as a vast tide of mysterious energy surged directly toward Sugar!

[Your earlier decision brought Sugar a major turning point in her fate. Luck Value reward: 50.]

"Fifty Luck Value!"

"This works too?"

Chen Ji was stunned.

He had truly never considered that Sugar could also experience a turning point in fate and provide him with a large amount of Luck Value!
