Chapter 053: Brainwashing

Beautiful!

Wang Bo silently praised Vega in his heart. Even though Vega was an enemy, Wang Bo had to admit that the guy had indeed done a splendid job — his fearless actions and resolute mindset were worthy of emulation.

Of course, the reason Wang Bo exclaimed "Beautiful!" was not only out of admiration for the other's courage but also, more so, an appreciation from a position of superiority.

In short, it was composure.

Or rather, it was effortless. It was precisely for this reason that Wang Bo could appreciate Vega's actions.

This also showed that Vega's desperate gamble just now did not harm Wang Bo.

In other words, if Vega's action had directly knocked Wang Bo down and defeated him, then Wang Bo would not be admiring but cursing now.

Vega clearly noticed this as well, his gaze filled with disappointment and shock.

But there was no despair.

It was clear that even after his desperate gamble failed, this guy had not given up hope. Instead, he had resorted to one last trick... body-snatching.

But this time, Vega was no longer possessing Wang Bo, but someone else.

After all, the onlookers who had been drawn by the fight between the two were not just one person.

These people were all ordinary folks; as long as Vega possessed just anyone and went into hiding, he could survive smoothly.

Unless he is killed—simple enough... slaughter the village!

As long as the entire village is killed, leaving no one for him to possess, no matter how powerful Vega is, he cannot escape death. However, from the previous battle, Vega had already discovered something.

Although Wang Bo was powerful, he was too soft-hearted.

He struck several times, without any murderous intent.

So Vega judged that Wang Bo might be a soft-hearted fellow, incapable of slaughtering a village. Thus Vega thought that as long as he casually possessed someone, he could survive smoothly.

However, Vega still underestimated Wang Bo.

As a wizard, Wang Bo could not have failed to study mental power and the soul. In fact, among the wizardry he had mastered, there was a spell that could exchange souls.

In short, it was a kind of sorcery that could swap the souls of two people.

When Wang Bo sensed Vega's mental power withdrawing from his body and attempting to escape, he reacted instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he snapped his fingers and cast the soul-switching sorcery.

A large hand formed of pure magical power sprang out of the void, effortlessly grabbing Vega's spirit, which was at its weakest point. Amid Vega's unwilling roar, it forcibly pressed Vega's spirit, along with his own soul, into his body.

"Impossible!!"

Vega roared in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that his trump card had been so easily neutralized by the enemy.

"Nothing is impossible. You overestimate yourself."

Wang Bo walked up to Vega, grabbed his head with one hand, and with just a little force, could crush Vega's head, along with the mental energy inside, extinguishing it all.

Thus, Vega died completely, never to be resurrected.

Feeling the approach of death, Vega's spirit trembled violently, trying to shake off this aura of death, but after a fierce battle with Wang Bo, he had consumed too much spiritual energy.

The remaining power was already insufficient to turn the tide.

A cruel smile split Wang Bo's lips as he said, "Die!"

No!!!!

Vega screamed wildly.

However, after a few seconds, death did not come. Vega twisted his face to look at Wang Bo, and what he saw was indeed a cheerful smile.

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Wang Bo asked with a grin.

Vega: ...

He had a curse word on the tip of his tongue, unsure whether to say it or not. At this moment, he finally came to his senses, remembering that Wang Bo was not a ruthless person. It was just that a moment ago, he thought death was upon him and completely panicked, forgetting this fact, and let the other party have a good laugh at his expense.

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, because the one who kills you is not me, but someone else. Although I dislike you, I have no grudge against you, so I will only strip you of your power."

Having said this, Wang Bo hardened his heart and pushed his magical power to destroy Vega's brain.

Aaaaahhhhhh...

In that instant, Vega couldn't help but let out a scream.

The brain is the most important part of the human body, and the birth of psychic power is intricately connected to it. After Wang Bo damaged Vega's brain, it was equivalent to crippling Vega's psychic power.

Vega did not die, but he lost all of his proud psychic power.

Now he was just an ordinary person.

Even so, Wang Bo was still not satisfied. Vega was no good person; he thought every day about how to conquer the world, and countless people had died at his hands.

The number of people who died indirectly at his hands was even greater, countless as the hairs on an ox.

If he killed Vega, that would be letting him off too easily.

So after Wang Bo crippled his mental power, he unhesitatingly performed brainwashing, turning Vega into a good person, or rather a person willing to atone for his sins.

After the brainwashing ended, Wang Bo released Vega.

Vega fell to his knees with a thud, his eyes brimming with tears. "I was wrong, I was truly wrong. What have I been doing all this time? I'm not even human—I'm nothing but a beast!"

As he spoke with agitation, Vega unhesitatingly slapped himself twice on the ears. After two sharp cracks, his face visibly swelled up.

Wang Bo, witnessing this scene, marveled at the overbearing nature of the brainwashing as he said, 'After I send you back to your original world, you should turn yourself in immediately.'

"Yes, I should do this. I should turn myself in. Only then can I cleanse my sins." Vega nodded heavily.

Wang Bo believed that once Vega surrendered himself, the evil Shadaloo Empire would meet its downfall.

In a sense, he had saved a world himself.

Wang Bo couldn't help feeling a little smug.

"By the way, you should also donate the ill-gotten gains from these years. I believe many people will need this money."

Vega kowtowed heavily to Wang Bo several times, and said with a serious expression, “Thank you, envoy, for guiding me. I will definitely follow your instructions and donate all the ill-gotten gains to help those in need.”

"The boy is teachable." Wang Bo nodded with satisfaction, grabbed Vega's shoulder, summoned the divine artifact, and sent Vega back to his original world.

“How many does this make? Host, you're amazing. It's only been a short while, and you've already found another time traveler. I'm so in awe of you. Oh, right, host, you've earned a new lottery draw. Would you like to use it?”

Wang Bo waved his hand and said, "No rush, there's something I want to ask you."
