Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 638: The Prime Minister’s Dream of Ruling the World_1
A year of weakness. So that's why. No wonder the President was reluctant to inject it, the Prime Minister muttered softly.
By the time he arrived, Wang Linchi had already dealt with the protagonist. His Destiny Level had directly stacked up to 201. It wasn't that he had killed sixty-four protagonists; rather, the protagonist he killed possessed sixty-three layers of Destiny. After killing that protagonist, all of these layers were added to Wang Linchi.
Yes, killing a protagonist would stack their Destiny Level onto the killer.
After Wang Linchi dealt with the situation, the Prime Minister arrived. Wang Linchi resumed his harmless guise and repeated to the Prime Minister what he had initially told the President.
"Escaping severely wounded—indeed a good scheme. It's a pity that man proposes, but God disposes. Nobody expected this group to be so powerful," the Prime Minister laughed, and he laughed heartily.
Luckily, I acted preemptively. Otherwise, even if I had survived, I would have ended up as a sacrifice for the President's banner upon his return from his plotted schemes,
Wang Linchi silently watched the Prime Minister's hysterical laughter. After about three minutes, the laughter ceased, and the Prime Minister's hawk-like, sharp gaze fell on Wang Linchi.
"I can give you one chance to say something. Persuade me not to kill you," the Prime Minister said to Wang Linchi. In reality, no matter what Wang Linchi said, he intended to act.
Problems with the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10? How could that be possible? The President had already verified it for him. If there truly was an issue, Wang Linchi wouldn't still be alive.
"What if I tell you the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 is flawed, and I tricked the President?" Wang Linchi was not nervous at all.
The Prime Minister had anticipated this. This was the only way to break the deadlock. Therefore, he wasn't surprised by Wang Linchi's words; he even laughed.
"Not creative at all. I didn't expect you to be at the end of your tether. I thought you would produce some magical tool to deal with me." The Prime Minister's laughter echoed.
Wang Linchi, also somewhat regretful, said, "I really wish I had one, but unfortunately, I don't."
"Since that's the case, you can be on your way. Everyone in this entire base will accompany you in death, so you don't have to worry about being lonely." As he spoke, the Prime Minister gripped Wang Linchi's neck.
In his eyes, Wang Linchi was just an ordinary person who hadn't even injected a Life Potion.
"Farewell. Be more cautious when you reincarnate."
"Otherwise... you will meet a bad end."
CRACK.
After speaking, the Prime Minister crushed Wang Linchi's skull, his expression calm.
After doing this, he didn't stop. He proceeded to kill everyone in the base before activating its self-destruct sequence.
BOOM!
Watching the distant flashes of Fire Light from the explosion, the Prime Minister unhesitatingly injected himself with the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10.
"I won't make the same mistake the President did."
"Timing? Faking death and slipping away? Heh, I don't need any of it. The sooner I complete the transformation, the sooner I can rule the world."
The Prime Minister spoke disdainfully.
The potential issue with the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 wasn't within his considerations. After all, Wang Linchi was already dead, and no one could resolve any subsequent problems.
He had to go all in. If he listened to Wang Linchi, wouldn't he be manipulated by him?
He was determined to rule the world.
If he listened this time, Wang Linchi would have a next time, and a time after that. Wouldn't he become Wang Linchi's puppet then?
So, naturally, he had unhesitatingly sent Wang Linchi to his death.
After the injection, he could feel the coolness of the black Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 coursing through his body.
The coolness was accompanied by weakness. However, since he had just injected it, the weakness wasn't very strong, merely a faint sensation. It would gradually intensify as his transformation progressed.
This, of course, didn't bother him, as he planned to leave Dragon City and recuperate elsewhere for a year.
As long as he escaped this maelstrom, he could guarantee his safety.
"If Level-5 Large-scale Life Force Fields weren't exclusive to Xing Country, I would have gone directly to other countries. It would be much safer," the Prime Minister mused with some regret.
This limitation severely restricted his options.
However, despite these limitations, the chaos was primarily confined to Dragon City.
Yet, due to the turmoil in Dragon City, the entirety of Xing Country was experiencing significant undercurrents, though the problems hadn't surfaced yet.
After one last glance at the Fire Light from the base's explosion, he turned and left without hesitation.
The next time I return, it will be time to end this chaos, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Wang Linchi watched him leave, making no attempt to stop him.
"Impressive decisiveness," Wang Linchi commented.
The President hadn't left at the first opportunity to inject the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 because he wanted to retain his power.
That was a case of wanting to have his cake and eat it too. Unlike the Prime Minister, who understood that only with sufficient power could he suppress any subsequent chaos, no matter how severe, with overwhelming force.
However, Wang Linchi felt that the Prime Minister was probably also forcing his own hand. Otherwise, why would he use the elixir now?
If it were him, he would definitely have waited until after leaving Dragon City to use it.
The Prime Minister was likely worried that if his current resolve faltered, he would lose the courage to use it later. Wang Linchi's statement—that the Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 was flawed and that he had deceived the President—would haunt him like a nightmare, causing endless hesitation.
"He just doesn't know that I was telling the truth that time," Wang Linchi thought.
"The Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10 isn't just flawed; it's problematic," Wang Linchi mused with a smile, watching the Prime Minister's departing figure.
He didn't mind the Prime Minister killing him; consider it a reward for the Prime Minister. After all, the Prime Minister was about to sacrifice himself to fulfill Wang Linchi's plan, and the Prime Minister had no means of resurrection.
"Next, I need to quickly eliminate all the protagonists, end this struggle for Fate as soon as possible, and make space for the upcoming experiments."
"Otherwise, with a whole bunch of protagonists running around chaotically, what the hell can I accomplish?"
Wang Linchi knew that after this incident, the world's protagonist trade would likely collapse. Best case scenario, it would have to start over from scratch, as he had intercepted all the resources.
These six hundred-odd protagonists represented the entire world's foundation. If he harvested them all, it would be like watching all its savings go down the drain.
Perhaps a tiny bit of the world's savings would remain, but under the devastation of his Sin-force experiments, that little bit probably wouldn't even be enough to cover medical bills.
"Doesn't this mean this world is heading for an apocalypse again?"
The sudden thought struck Wang Linchi, and his composure nearly shattered.
It was agreed that it wouldn't be a world apocalypse! But what happened? It still turned into one, and this time, he was the one who orchestrated it.
This was somewhat unacceptable to him. Could it be that he was born with a world-ending attribute, destined to make worlds explode wherever he went?
"Damn, if this continues, won't it become a fixed impression?"
"I have to turn this around. Otherwise, I'll be unwelcome wherever I go." Wang Linchi's expression grew increasingly grim.
"This is an accident, absolutely not a deliberate strike against the world."
"Even though I made the first move, let's disregard the facts for a moment—is this world entirely without fault?" Wang Linchi decided to shift the blame to the world. But then he thought again, If I disregard the facts, what is there to even talk about?
So, he had to rephrase it. Otherwise, the world wouldn't even be able to shoulder the blame properly.
"Alright, even if we stick to the facts, taking ten thousand steps back, doesn't the world bear at least a little responsibility?"
Wang Linchi felt this blame-shifting tactic would make the world shoulder the blame securely. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"No, taking ten thousand steps back is too few. How about a hundred thousand... a million... let's make it a hundred million steps back!"
He worried that even taking ten thousand steps back, the blame might not fully stick to the world, and some responsibility would still fall on him. So, quite rationally, he opted for taking a hundred million steps back.
"Yes, this feels much more reassuring." Wang Linchi felt he had thoroughly learned the art of Ah Q's self-consolation.
Rather than consuming himself with internal conflict, it was far more convenient and quicker to shift the blame to others. Besides, attempting to atone by doing good deeds wasn't guaranteed to succeed anyway.
If measured by Sin-force, the evil emanating from Wang Linchi was likely no less than the Calamity of the Last Law or the Annihilation Disaster.
"However, it's not quite right for me to handle the protagonists personally. I should lay low for a while. Once the Gu-raising process produces a Worm King, I'll kill it directly—a once-and-for-all solution."
"That'll save me from running all over the place, and I might avoid being targeted by the world."
What Wang Linchi wanted was to catch them all in one fell swoop, not pick them off one by one. Killing them individually was not only troublesome but also risked exposing his weaknesses.
