Of the four-faced individual's four faces, apart from the regular face that could be used for a long time, the other three faces were activated for a limited period of time.
The few who knew that he had four faces had their own speculations about this. However, they all thought that the reason for the limitation was that activating the different faces would put an extraordinary burden on the four-faced individual's body and soul.
Only the four-faced individual himself knew that this was not the case.
Each of his faces was actually a different personality.
Among them, the primary personality was the regular face that maintained the balance of the other three personalities.
Currently, his four personalities were able to maintain a balanced state mainly by relying on this primary personality in its regular state.
Each time he switched faces, he had to release a secondary personality.
Although the primary personality's consciousness was still dominant for a short period of time after changing faces, the longer the face was changed, the more the secondary personality would awaken, and it would begin to rebel against the primary personality's dominant position.
If the time limit was exceeded, the secondary personality that was released would awaken completely. It was highly likely that it would suppress the primary personality and take over the body's dominant position.
Some people might think that it was just changing the dominant personality and that it was not a big deal since it could be switched again in the future.
However, the problem was that once the four-faced individual's primary personality lost its dominant position, the existing balance between the other personalities would be completely disrupted. The dominant secondary personality would soon devour all the other personalities and monopolize the body.
This was because the four-faced individual's physical body and soul would only transform in the direction of this personality's dominant position if it completely monopolized the entire body. He would become a brand-new individual with only one independent consciousness, and his consciousness, physical body, and soul would merge perfectly.
In other words, the four-faced individual would cease to exist and be replaced by a completely different monster.
The four-faced individual had never mentioned the risks involved to anyone.
Not even to the people who shared his bed with him the most, not a word about it.
After all, such a secret concerned his life and death. If he told anyone, it would be easy for others to take advantage of him.
On the battlefield, Giant Sarcoma's stalling technique made the four-faced individual rather anxious.
Using Dragon Flame was an extremely draining technique. Initially, he wanted to end this battle as quickly as possible. Now, however, Giant Sarcoma had blocked his way with layers of mud, and they had fallen into a stalemate.
In less than half an hour, he had switched to his second face. Now that the primary personality was extremely exhausted, the amount of time he could suppress the secondary personality was greatly reduced.
He could only end this battle quickly, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Dragon Flame had been spewing for more than ten minutes, but it had not advanced at all. This made him even more anxious as he thought about his next countermeasure.
"If it really doesn't work, I can only use that move!"
After struggling for only a moment, the four-faced individual very quickly made his final decision.
He did not stop spewing dragon flames. Instead, his hands began to rapidly form complicated hand seals.
After a while, strange figures broke free from his back. Only when the ninth figure broke free did it stop.
After the nine silhouettes stood still next to the four-faced individual, each of them was shockingly identical to the four-faced individual's current one-eyed state. It was as if they were clones carved from the same mold.
At that moment, the four-faced individual finally stopped spewing Dragon Flame.
In the distance, Giant Sarcoma had been paying attention to the four-faced individual's movements. When he saw the other party release the "clones", he knew that the other party was really going to unleash an ultimate move this time.
While he was a little nervous, he also became more and more certain.
"This fellow is in such a hurry to use his ultimate skill. It seems that my guess was correct. He won't be able to maintain this state for long! "
"As long as I can persevere and continue to drag on, I'll be able to wear him down sooner or later!"
Clearly, Giant Sarcoma planned to carry out the delaying tactic to the end.
Although he had a countermeasure, he did not dare to underestimate the four-faced individual's methods.
In the void, the four-faced individual's ten silhouettes stood proudly, looking down in Giant Sarcoma's direction.
The next second, several of the silhouettes spread their fingers, and whips of golden gleam burst forth from their fingertips.
Countless golden whips crisscrossed, forming an inescapable net that swept toward Giant Sarcoma.
Giant Sarcoma immediately had a bad feeling about this. He hurriedly extended countless tentacles to defend himself.
The golden whips were wrapped in the strange characteristics of dragon flames. Giant Sarcoma's tentacles were charred black the moment they came into contact with them.
After a few rounds of pain, Giant Sarcoma quickly gave up on using his tentacles to defend himself. Instead, he summoned Giant Swamp Hands from the void and slapped them toward the golden whips' net.
The battle had just entered a stalemate when several more silhouettes next to the four-faced individual joined the battle.
The four silhouettes blocked off all of Giant Sarcoma's escape routes. From four different directions, they spewed tsunami-like dragon flames at Giant Sarcoma …
Almost every single one of them was no less powerful than the one the four-faced individual had unleashed earlier.
Giant Sarcoma was immediately alarmed.
This wave of attacks came from all directions; there was almost no way to avoid them.
If Giant Sarcoma tried to defend himself forcefully, his Divine Power would probably be drained several times more than before.
Seeing that the tsunami of dragon flames coming at him from all directions was about to engulf him, Giant Sarcoma steeled himself and charged toward the golden whips' net above his head.
Just as the fat figure was about to collide with the giant net, his body suddenly turned into liquid fat and easily penetrated through the holes in the net, escaping from it.
The four-faced individual and the Nine Gloom Vine in the distance were both stunned by what they saw.
Clearly, neither of them had expected that Giant Sarcoma's physical body, which looked incredibly sturdy, could instantly turn into something like liquid.
However, although the four-faced individual did not know how Giant Sarcoma would escape, he had prepared for all possibilities in advance.
His original body flashed and appeared directly above Giant Sarcoma's head.
Giant Sarcoma, who had just escaped from the dragon flames, had not even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the four-faced individual's voice coming from above his head.
"I've been prepared for you to escape since a long time ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the four-faced individual strike out with both palms, unleashing a golden shockwave.
"Get lost!"
Giant Sarcoma could not dodge this attack in time at all. The shockwave hit him directly, and his figure plummeted downwards.
At this moment, his clones cooperatively withdrew the whips' net, allowing Giant Sarcoma to fall into the sea of flames.
The moment Giant Sarcoma's figure was engulfed by the golden sea of flames, the four-faced individual and his remaining clones inhaled deeply almost simultaneously, then spat out endless golden dragon flames downwards …
This conflagration burned for close to half an hour.
Only when the four-faced individual vaguely sensed that he could no longer suppress his secondary personality did the flames finally disperse. He returned to his normal form, feeling reassured.
Within the sea of flames, Giant Sarcoma's life force had been completely extinguished more than ten minutes ago.
He had forced himself to continue spitting dragon flames for another ten minutes or so, fearing that Giant Sarcoma was not completely dead.
However, he could basically confirm now that Giant Sarcoma was already dead.
There was not a single living thing that could remain unscathed by the dragon flames without howling in pain or resisting.
After dispelling all of his clones, the four-faced individual patiently waited for the flames to dissipate and the dust to settle.
After a long while, the embers of the flames burned out, and the dust gradually thinned.
The four-faced individual saw a completely carbonized black sphere in the deep pit that had been burnt by the flames.
He approached it carefully. He could even clearly smell the scent of charred meat, as well as the intense, nauseating stench of decay.
When he was more than ten meters away from the carbonized sphere, the four-faced individual stopped in his tracks and did not move any closer.
Instead, he spread his fingers wide open and extended several threads of Divine Power, touching the carbonized sphere from afar.
Under the touch of Divine Power, the four-faced individual finally saw the carbonized structure. It was like layers upon layers of an onion, wrapped in layers.
He used his Divine Power to quickly peel off the layers of "onion", wanting to see if Giant Sarcoma had been completely incinerated.
As he peeled off the carbonized layers, he very quickly saw that the innermost structure had been completely carbonized into fine powder.
Clearly, Giant Sarcoma could not be more dead.
Only then did the four-faced individual retract his Divine Power and let out a long sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, something strange happened.
A blood-red tentacle suddenly broke through the ground beneath the four-faced individual's feet. The tip of the tentacle split like a tree root and extended at lightning speed, burrowing into the four-faced individual's mouth, eyes, and nose …
The four-faced individual could clearly sense a strange power rapidly invading his physical body.
"Get out of here!"
The four-faced individual mustered all of his Divine Power, trying to break free from Giant Sarcoma's trump card. However, he only managed to stall his opponent for a second or two; the invasion of his physical body was still ongoing.
He could clearly sense that, at the rate at which his opponent was invading his body, he would lose complete control of his body in five minutes at most.
As soon as he thought of this, he made up his mind.
"You forced me to do this!"
The next second, the four-faced individual's head suddenly turned. The face that had been at the back of his head slowly rotated 180 degrees, turning into a face that was facing him.
It was an incomparably ferocious face. All three of his eyes were pitch-black without any whites, and there were two large blood-red horns on his forehead.
The second he opened his eyes, the muscles all over his body began to swell and turn red. Wisps of black mist began to seep out of his pores …
The four-faced individual lowered his head and glanced at the state he was in. The long-horned four-faced individual extended a large hand with sharp black claws and grabbed the tentacle connecting his eyes and nose to the ground. Then, he pulled it up forcefully.
He pulled it upward with one hand while he stuffed the tentacle into his mouth with the other, chewing hard …
"Four Face, you lunatic!" Giant Sarcoma's shrill, agonized howl soon came from underground.
However, the long-horned individual suddenly grinned. "Four Face, is it? That fellow is no longer here. I still have to thank you for allowing me to take ownership of this physical body.
"If it weren't for your final coercion, that fellow Four Face wouldn't have released me. If it weren't for your battle with him, which weakened the strength of his consciousness to its limit, I wouldn't have been able to restrain him so easily.
"To show my gratitude, I'll eat you!"
As he spoke, he continued to devour Giant Sarcoma.
Very soon, Giant Sarcoma's agonized howls grew fainter and fainter. Finally, there was no sound at all …
