Wen Yan looked at Gauss Weil and thought to himself, thank goodness a senior paved the way first, otherwise, even with the temporary ability to build a stage, he wouldn't be able to get three words out, let alone break through Gauss Weil's mental defenses.
Wen Yan more or less understood now why, when the Soul Devouring Beast descended before, Old Cai was always particularly worried, but this time, he acted decisively, just going step by step, without that suffocating feeling of being crushed by the Invincible trait.
Thinking carefully, what Old Cai always worried about most was the civilians in the city, he really didn't spend that much energy on the Pain Demon Lord himself.
That's the difference between the Scorching Sun Department and the Three Mountains and Five Ridges.
As Minister, Old Cai had to take responsibility—even if it meant extra trouble, he'd never risk a million civilians.
Without ordinary people around and no risk of mass casualties, the others could go all out.
