Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

#1073 - Chapter 1073 True and Ugly

Wu Wei stepped over the corpse of the elf beneath his feet and slowly walked towards the Imperial Princess Shi Xin.

Imperial Princess Shi Xin, after hearing Wu Wei's words, was filled with terror.

However, the current Imperial Princess Shi Xin was no longer the same as before.

It was as if a curtain had been torn away.

After Wu Wei confirmed that her ability was mind control...

The previously red-dressed, red-booted, and curvaceous woman had completely transformed into an ugly face with rough skin and covered in bumps and birthmarks.

Her red hair had turned into a few ugly strands, dangling forlornly on her scalp.

Moreover, her figure was extremely bloated, with no curves to speak of.

Of course.

Having said so much.

Shi Xin still had a few things that were genuinely real.

First was her gender.

Second were her clothes and scepter.

And most importantly, the imperial emblem on her clothes.

These things were all real!

"You..."

"Knew all along?"

Shi Xin suddenly changed her demeanor.

Her previous charm gradually turned into fear.

And this fear, because of the exposure of her true self, turned into anger.

Even, angered, she directly aimed her weapon at Wu Wei.

"Yes."

"I said."

"I have extremely high resistance to illusions."

"From the moment I saw you, your true appearance was already in my eyes."

"And when I say true, I mean truly true."

Wu Wei shrugged his shoulders, saying indifferently.

"But I clearly used mind control, why can you also...."

"Oh, damn it."

"It's the dark world behind you that gave you the power."

Facing Wu Wei's statement, Imperial Princess Shi Xin was extremely angry.

Her true appearance exposed, she didn't care about her current ugliness, but instead looked fierce.

"Damn it, why would your world give you such power?"

"Such power shouldn't exist at all."

Wu Wei stopped walking.

Then, he said with a calm expression.

"This has nothing to do with the power itself."

"Power is just power, power has no connection to justice or evil."

"Your idea that power shouldn't exist is a complete fallacy."

"And more importantly, I don't think there's any difference if I see the real you."

"In my eyes, there is no difference between the appearance you disguise with illusions and your current appearance."

Hearing this, Imperial Princess Shi Xin's weapon paused.

But these words were still not enough to make her relax her guard, and she still aimed it at Wu Wei.

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true."

"In the dark world I come from."

"Appearance is the least important thing."

"On the contrary."

Wu Wei very honestly spoke the truth.

"Power is the most beautiful thing in our endless abyss."

"Whether it's a demon or a devil."

"Even the ugliest imp, their pursuit is always power."

"So, in my opinion, having power is the most beautiful thing."

"...."

Finally, whether it was Wu Wei's sincerity that moved her, the incredibly ugly, or rather, the Imperial Princess Shi Xin who revealed her true appearance, lowered her weapon.

"Alright,"

"Mr. Wu Wei."

"I'm very sorry, just now, I tried to capture your intelligence using mind control."

"For this, I express my deep apologies."

"This is a kind of my...."

Imperial Princess Shi Xin didn't continue.

But Wu Wei already understood what she meant.

Then, Wu Wei waved his hand and said to Shi Xin.

"It's okay."

"Now, we should continue walking."

"After all, we haven't reached your new command post yet, have we?"

After speaking, Wu Wei took the lead and moved forward.

And Shi Xin, after glancing at Wu Wei's back, continued to follow him forward.

In fact, the reason why Wu Wei was so calm was because before he arrived, Shi Renjun had already told Wu Wei some of the true situation of Shi Xin.

Shi Xin, this nominally most noble lady of the empire, the pride of the empire.

Was just a complete lie.

The real situation was.

Shi Xin was a monster with an ugly face but possessing extremely strong illusion abilities, and hiding her true self behind illusions.

Of course.

Her mind control ability was a secret ability that even Prince Shi Renjun didn't know about.

It was precisely because of this.

That Wu Wei would become the best candidate to assassinate this imperial princess this time.

Because only he could find the real her.
