Hell's Handbook

Chapter 408

The waves fell back down to fill up the empty space left behind by the initial explosion. The monster sneered disdainfully as it looked at where Su Jin had drowned and spat before turning to leave. But when it came to the psychokinesis wall that Su Jin had erected, it realized that the wall was still there.

“What? Not dead yet?” The monster spun around in surprise to see a lone figure walk out of the sea.

“Gosh, you guys have no manners at all! It’s not nice to pee on someone, you know?” Su Jin emerged sopping wet. He slicked his hair back and said with a smile, “Not bad, not bad!”

“Not bad?! Why, you…”

BAM!

Before the creature could finish speaking, Su Jin appeared in front of it in a flash and flicked his finger just like the creature had. The monster felt a force strike it in the chest before flying out violently.

BOOM!

The monster crashed into the psychokinesis wall, and the force of the impact had caused the wall to be covered in crack lines. If Su Jin had used a little more strength, he might have been able to shatter the entire wall.

“This… this… this is impossible… what… what in the world are you?!” The monster’s jaw dropped at the impact. There was a huge wound in its chest, and its limbs had been blasted off from the force.

The monster shut up, and its body began to recuperate rapidly. In just a few seconds, the four limbs that had been blown off grew back perfectly.

The monster used its arms to push against the psychokinesis wall hard so that it broke free from the wall and landed on the ground. It made a large hole in the ground when it landed, which proved how compact and heavy its body really was.

“Hell’s Handbook is a truly mysterious force. Even a low level lifeform like you could actually become so powerful,” muttered the creature as it made large strides toward Su Jin.

“Oh, do humans get chosen by the Handbook in your planet too?” Su Jin was rather curious. Since the Handbook only selected intelligent lifeforms, and the monster had humans on its planet, then it made sense that the Handbook would also select humans on that planet to be owners.

“Hoho, of course they do. But those things are nothing more than food and slaves to us. They don’t get a chance to reach your level! So… it’s time for you to meet the same fate as them!” The monster clearly dared not look down on Su Jin and threw a punch that seemed capable of breaking mountains and rivers.

“I really think that creatures like you are downright disgusting!” Su Jin grabbed hold of the monster’s fist. The energy from the fist went through Su Jin’s body and hit the ground, which caused the ground behind him to shake violently and a lot of dust and smoke to rise.

“Now!” The monster moved away from Su Jin and detached itself from the fist that was in Su Jin’s hand. The fist suddenly exploded as heat gathered within it like a nuclear bomb.

“Hee hee! The greatest difference between you and me is the fact that I know you humans too well, since I’m surrounded by so many of them all day. But you know nothing about us!” The monster cackled loudly. As far as it was concerned, receiving such a powerful attack without any warning would definitely result in Su Jin’s death.

But the next thing it saw made it widen its eyes in horror. Su Jin took a deep breath to suck in all the heat from the blast, then choked a few times, as though the bomb had been a little too spicy for him.

“The fact that you’ve stooped to using such tactics means you’ve run out of ideas, haven’t you?” Su Jin was rather displeased. He had hoped that this monster could do something that might inspire him or blow his mind.

This time, the monster really went into a panic. Su Jin could tell that the monster didn’t really want to fight anymore, so he gripped the air and sent his psychokinesis toward the monster. The monster was still able to fend off psychokinesis, but Su Jin wasn’t going to give up. He continued to increase the intensity and strength of his psychokinesis and was eventually able to wrap it around the monster.

“Die!” Su Jin shouted as the psychokinesis bubble he had formed around the monster shrank suddenly and compressed the monster into a patty as though it was a hydraulic press. He then used his psychokinesis to mince up the patty.

After retracting his psychokinesis, Su Jin was really disappointed. This monster had been fairly powerful, but it had too few tricks up its sleeve. It relied too heavily on the advantage its physical body came with and did not develop its techniques sufficiently.

Actually, Su Jin could have killed the monsters right at the beginning. As long as they weren’t gods, his maniacal power could have killed them within seconds. But these owners were watched closely by the Handbook and Su Jin didn’t want to expose his non-Handbook powers, so he had to use his psychokinesis to fight them.

Su Jin sent his psychokinesis toward the other three areas. Durand and Oscar were still in the midst of battle. They were the best owners among humans, so even if they were outnumbered, they were not on the losing end. After all, the Handbook hadn’t sent its best to attack them.

“Wait, no, something’s not right?” A thought suddenly struck Su Jin. He looked at the huge cloud above the castle, then covered the entire planet with his psychokinesis to conduct a scan but came back with nothing!

“This is supposed to be the final obstacle to attaining godhood, but how could owners of this level possibly be a threat to an owner who’s about to become a god? Hell’s Handbook wasn’t trying to warn the owner, it was… trying to distract and occupy any defenses the owner had!” Su Jin was horrified by this thought. There was no real evidence to back up this idea, but once this thought entered his head, he couldn’t brush it aside.

He quickly flew toward the castle where the cloud was. It was less than 100 kilometers away, so it took him barely more than a second to cover the distance. Natasha was in the middle of the castle, and a lot of colorful lights were surrounding her.

“Did I overthink this?” Su Jin froze. Natasha looked perfectly fine. He had probably been too paranoid.

“Help!” But just then, Su Jin heard a voice. Or rather, he sensed it. He knew for sure that was Natasha’s voice. Natasha was calling for help!

“What’s going on?” asked Su Jin loudly, hoping that Natasha could answer him. But Natasha’s expression was peaceful and did not look like she was calling for help at all. However, Su Jin was very certain he had heard her calling for help. He was now too powerful to fall for auditory illusions, after all.

He ignored the possibility that the Handbook might discover him and his eyes glowed brilliantly as his maniacal power surrounded him. He walked into the cloud to look down at everything like a god, and realized that… the cloud was trying to take over Natasha!

The Handbook was taking this opportunity to erase Natasha’s consciousness, then fill her body with a new consciousness. In other words, the Handbook was trying to take over Natasha’s physical body.

“Save me! Mr. Su… save me!” Su Jin could finally hear Natasha’s cries for help clearly under these circumstances. But before he could do anything, a bolt of lightning came crashing down and erased Natasha’s consciousness completely!

“Too late!” Su Jin sighed heavily as he shook his head. He had discovered her situation too late. The lightning bolt had been continuously erasing her consciousness, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was simply too late.

After her consciousness had been wiped out, Su Jin quietly observed her physical body. He watched as a new consciousness filled her body, and the cloud slowly faded as she slowly opened her eyes again.

“Thanks for the hard work, Mr. Su!” Natasha smiled at Su Jin, as though nothing had changed at all.

But Su Jin did not respond to her immediately. He raised a hand to create a psychokinesis screen around them to make sure that nobody outside the castle could get in, then said in a grim voice, “Stop pretending. You’re not Natasha. Who are you?”

“Mr. Su, what a strange thing to say! Of course I’m Natasha. Who else could I be?” Natasha smiled faintly.

But Su Jin snorted in return. “I wouldn’t know who else you could possibly be. But I witnessed the take over of her body very clearly just now!”

“Oh! You actually saw that! Then I guess there’s no point in trying to hide the truth from you.” Natasha’s expression shifted as her lips curled into a mocking smile.
