Chapter 16, another second, what do you mean?
This thing is way too big!
Each one is tens of meters tall and tens of meters wide, like two moving small mountains.
The oppressive feeling they created was so intense that the air itself seemed to thicken.
Especially its appearance, which was pieced together in a grotesque and twisted manner from countless corpse parts.
It also makes people feel a kind of physiological discomfort and mental pollution from the bottom of their hearts.
"This is too bizarre," Ye Ren couldn't help but mutter.
The two mountains of flesh moved at a seemingly slow speed, but in reality, they were extremely ferocious.
Thanks to their massive size, each roll can easily cover a distance of ten or twenty meters.
"It's...it's an aggregate?!" Su Jing's voice became shrill with fear.
"Damn it! How could such a high-level aberration appear so close to the city gate!"
The two followers of the Thousand Eyes Watcher turned deathly pale instantly.
They didn't care about anything else; they turned around, grabbed the long iron chain, and led the young people behind them to flee for their lives.
In an instant, the scene became incredibly chaotic.
The young people screamed and cried in terror as they were passively dragged along by the chains.
Because they were chained, some people even fell in panic, which immediately triggered a chain reaction, with a series of people falling to the ground and being trampled by those behind them.
The cries of wailing and screaming echoed across the desolate wilderness.
Amidst this chaotic mass of fleeing people, one figure advanced instead of retreating.
Ye Ren strode calmly toward the two monstrous structures that resembled hills, facing the panicked crowd.
"This thing that's so disgusting must be eliminated."
It's painful to look at.
As he brushed past the two believers of the Watchers.
Su Dong and Su Jing both looked at him with horror, as if he were a madman.
【Oh?】
[Someone actually didn't run away, but instead headed towards those two mutants?!]
[Is he out of his mind?!]
Calm.
So composed.
His leisurely stroll formed a stark and absurd contrast with the surrounding crowd of people crying and fleeing for their lives.
Ye Ren sensed the remaining time he had to use his authority today.
"There are still a full forty-eight seconds left, more than enough time."
As long as he retains the power to make his words law, he will remain an inflated dandy!
"Boom—!"
The earth trembled more and more violently, and the deafening rumble seemed to tear people's eardrums apart.
The two hill-like deformities were almost within reach.
Their enormous bodies blotted out the sky, casting huge shadows that completely enveloped Ye Ren.
The dust kicked up from the ground formed a gray-yellow storm that swept in.
"Splash~"
Countless pebbles were thrown into the air by their rolling bodies, and then crashed down like hailstones.
On that mountain of flesh, countless distorted faces simultaneously let out silent roars.
The rotting limbs flailed wildly, as if trying to tear the tiny creature before them to shreds.
If it were anyone else, their sanity would probably have started to plummet because of this scene.
However, Ye Ren simply bent down.
I picked up two inconspicuous pebbles from the ground.
Then he weighed it in his hand: "It feels good."
With a slight concentration, Ye Ren aimed at the two deformed structures that resembled small mountains, and with a flick of his wrist, threw a pebble out.
The movement was so effortless, it was like skipping stones.
The instant the pebble left his hand, he whispered two words:
"A second!"
Those two originally ordinary pebbles were imbued with incomprehensible, conceptual-level power the moment they were released!
They ignored distance, air resistance, and the laws of physics.
Ye Ren: "Let the pebbles fly for a while..."
After a flight of six seconds, they precisely pierced through the two aggregates of flesh!
[a second]
The power of words becoming law has been activated!
"boom--!!!"
The two mutated creatures, which were tumbling forward, suddenly froze.
Then they collapsed to the ground with a thud, like sand sculptures that had lost all their support!
The enormous body continued to slide along the ground for a distance due to inertia, kicking up clouds of dust and gravel.
Finally, it stopped right in front of Ye Ren.
The distance is less than five meters.
That once mountain of flesh now lies there silently, like a huge pile of rotten meat, without a sound.
The wilderness fell into a deathly silence.
---
Su Dong and Su Jing, who were desperately trying to escape, suddenly felt the rumbling behind them stop.
What's going on?
Unable to suppress their damn curiosity, they instinctively turned their heads to take a look.
"(ΩДΩ)???"
"(ÒωÓױ)……"
Then the expressions on their faces froze completely.
Amidst the billowing dust, the young man stood quietly in place.
And before him, those two gigantic, hill-like mutants...
It lay motionless on the ground.
It seems... he's dead?
This incredible scene left the two believers of the Watchers in disbelief.
They even doubted whether they were hallucinating due to excessive fear.
Su Dong couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling with shock:
"Huh... what's going on? Those... those two mutants seem to be dead!"
Su Jing's eyes twitched violently. He rubbed his seven or eight eyes hard and then pinched his thigh hard.
The intense pain told him that everything he was seeing was real.
"Impossible...this is impossible!" he murmured.
"How did he die? You...you saw it? What did he do?"
The two of them talked back and forth, their words filled with an even stronger sense of horror and terror than when they had just faced the mutant.
After all, mutants are synonymous with danger in the wilderness.
Even high-ranking believers usually only dare to venture into the wilderness in groups, and the mortality rate is consistently high.
Beings of the size of a Wall of Flesh are like ants unless they are followers of the Colossus or high-ranking followers of Nurgle, given the absolute size difference.
But now, they've died so inexplicably?
As the two of them stopped, the chaotic crowd behind them gradually quieted down.
Those disheveled young people stared blankly and in horror at the lonely figure in the distance.
The boy stood quietly before the two enormous mountains of corpses.
His figure appeared incredibly small against the backdrop of the enormous corpse.
But for some reason, it also exuded a chilling majesty.
Everyone was trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Just a few minutes ago.
While Su Dong and Su Jing were fleeing in panic, they had already fired a red signal flare into the sky.
This place is not far from the City of Order.
Soon, a five-man squad sped in from the direction of the city gate, kicking up a cloud of dust.
They are the [Superb Transcendent Hungry Wolf Legend] Hunter Team.
