Pretending To Be A Boss

Tang Xian's heart was actually very tense; taming a true beast was nothing like dealing with Tang Feiji, who had the advantages of being the master of Eden and an emissary of the Sea God.

[Despicable... humans, you are deceiving me!]

Bai Mansheng seemed somewhat panicked, seemingly like the self-consciousness of chaos awakening.

Yet Tang Xian remained very calm and said,

"Why would I deceive you? My appearance is merely to correct your dreams, leading you to the right place."

In the three days, Tang Xian had learned a lot from Duck, and his body would probably recover in about an hour.

Following the normal process, Chaos would fully awaken in the next hour, realizing it was merely playing the part of the weak Sword Feather Duck.

Then, on a whim, it would kill all those Sword Feather Ducks and excitedly look for the next stage.

However, this time, there was a slight difference; it began to doubt itself.

This doubt was faint, yet it was like a grain of sand in a shoe, small but impossible to ignore.

But the dominant consciousness was still Chaos, and years of habit made it involuntarily recall everything when it showed its true form.

[You think you can fool me, tiny crawler? Today, I will make you pay the price!]

"Fool you? Who do you think you are now?"

[I am Chaos, the supreme existence of this world.]

"You are a duck. Believe me, if you think you are this non-existent Chaos, then why were you a duck before?"

Bai Mansheng and Tang were ready for battle at any moment.

Tang Xian, however, remained unfazed, as if he truly were just a spirit appearing in dreams.

[I have remembered everything; what's the point of your continued deception? I can transform into anything in the world!]

"Oh, that would make a decent title for a web novel. But can you transform into me?"

Tang Xian was actually gambling, just like how the rules of creatures like Zang Lin and Zero had no effect on him.

He believed that even Chaos could not transform into him, who possessed the bloodline of Eden.

Chaos hesitated and then said,

[I cannot transform now; are you stalling for time?]

"So you're saying you think you could turn into me in an hour?"

[I won't give you an hour; you will be killed by me right now!]

The true form of Chaos finally completely materialized. Its real appearance was quite ugly.

For this monster... had no face.

With six legs and four wings but no face, this was Di Jiang, and the form of Chaos was indeed nearly identical to what Zhuangzi had referred to as Di Jiang.

Tang Xian, looking at this immense creature with no features on its face, could not help but wonder if the ancient world truly had a connection with their own.

But he had no time to contemplate at that moment.

The abilities of Taotie were not limited to one, and it was likely that Chaos also hid other powers.

Tang Xian looked at it all indifferently and said,

"I've told you, this is all a dream; you're a lovely Sword Feather Duck, and without you, your flock would not be able to survive in this area."

[Nonsense! After killing you, I'll go kill those ducks that don't know to respect their leader!]

"You see, these are all your obsessions. In the end, you do care about these ducks because you yourself are a duck. Look at your reflection on the ice wall. Does that form look like that of a living creature? Without a face, no less."

Chaos was furious; its reasoning was still reasonably clear at the moment and could tell that Tang Xian was insulting its appearance.

But Tang Xian's expression was full of positivity,

"However, it doesn't matter; this is just a dream, although in the dream, you've gone from a handsome Sword Feather Duck to an ugly monster."

Tang Xian knew that he had to resort to force to strengthen his persuasive power.

Such a personality switch required time, and Chaos was not yet fully awake but would certainly become more so.

If words couldn't disturb its mind, then he would use his most familiar method of physical therapy.

"Don't panic; it's not a big problem, even though today's dream is an utter nightmare. But once you acknowledge that this is a dream, accepting reality won't be scary anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xian finally launched his attack.

First came Devouring Day; although Chaos seemed to have no features, it undoubtedly had other means of perception.

With vision cut off, Tang charged directly into the darkness.

Bai Mansheng, originally intending to attack, also had to stop because of Tang's action.

"Isn't he being too reckless?"

"When you realize that you can't die no matter what, you might even try a free fall from the peak of Mount Everest to experience the world's most extreme bungee jumping."

"So, am I supposed to fight now or not?" Bai Mansheng was hesitant.

Tang Xian did not hesitate and said,

"If you can injure Tang, I'll have Tang Fei follow you from now on."

Bai Mansheng stopped talking, and his exceedingly cold ice spears pierced wildly through the fog at that invisible massive creature.

At the same time, the scornful laughter of Chaos came:

[A mantis trying to stop a chariot, do you think such attacks could harm me?]

Tang Xian furrowed his brows.

Bai Mansheng was a support-type beast among the myriad beasts, and Tang was a top-notch defense-type; it would be too much if Chaos also had resilience as its trait, wouldn't it?

From their last battle, he was already convinced that fights between tanks had no appeal.

A green haze emanated from Tang Xian's fingertips; the ability he obtained from the source of the epidemic was a toxin that could bring about negative states.

However, Tang Xian did not know the specific effects of this poison; it was an ability he rarely used.
