Just as Puppeteer charged toward the highest god, Lin Sanjiu moved as well.
However, she was swimming in a different direction.
Of course, with her doggy paddling speed, she was spotted by Puppeteer before she could swim far. "What are you doing?!" Puppeteer shouted. Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to his angry roars. She did not give up and continued to swim toward the "Lin Sanjiu" with all her might. However, there was no point of reference in the vast sea. No matter how hard she tried, the stretch of sea in front of her did not shrink.
"You can't run away now!" Soulsqn shouted at her from afar, wagging her tail. Soulsqn did not seem to have noticed the "Lin Sanjius" in the distance. Her eyes were fixed on the highest god. "If you don't wear any clothes, I'll wear you!"
When Soulsqn threatened Puppeteer, he did not have the time to respond. Judging from the sounds behind him, he and the highest god had already started fighting.
"Hang in there! I'll be right back! "
Lin Sanjiu shouted as she gasped for breath. She did not have any swimming skills to begin with, and when she heard the battle between the two people behind her, it became even more difficult for her to move. The waves rose with a loud rumble and lifted her high up into the air. Before she could raise her arms, the wall of water that was more than ten meters tall came crashing down again, and she was smashed into the depths of the sea. She had only managed to swim a short distance, but in the blink of an eye, she was pushed back again. She almost didn't make it to the surface.
"She's smart."
A few minutes later, when she finally took in her first breath of air, the sea breeze carried the laughter of the highest god into her ears. His breathing was steady, and he was smiling. He did not sound like he was being attacked by Puppeteer. Instead, he sounded like he was in the middle of a hydrotherapy session. "She knows better than you. She knows that she shouldn't have attacked me."
His opponent did not say anything. Perhaps, he did not have the time to say anything.
Lin Sanjiu wiped her face. She squinted her eyes and couldn't open them due to the stinging seawater. Rubbing the corners of her eyes, she pursed her lips tightly and continued to swim in the same direction without looking back.
Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes and searched for a few seconds, but she couldn't find her target. She couldn't help scolding herself inwardly, "There are so many colorful clothes in this world, why did I have to wear a black singlet? Now that there are so many corpses floating in the sea, I can't tell which one is the one I'm looking for."
However, her luck was slightly better than she had imagined. After swimming for a while, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
The two "Lin Sanjius", who looked exactly like her, seemed to have woken up. They pushed their hands against the surface of the sea and jumped out of the water. It was as if they had jumped out of a hole in the ground. They seemed to have given up on the idea that they were the real Lin Sanjiu. Expressionlessly, they stepped on the undulating waves and approached Lin Sanjiu.
"F * ck."
Lin Sanjiu quickly peeked through the gap between their legs. She could vaguely see a corpse floating on the surface of the water. However, before she could get a clear look at the neck of the corpse, one of the women in front of her had already stretched her arm out to grab Lin Sanjiu.
"You have completely given up on pretending to be me," Lin Sanjiu sighed.
The face of the woman, who looked exactly like her, was cold and emotionless, like a corpse with its eyes wide open. However, when the woman's palm pressed down, it stirred up a gust of air. It was obvious that she wasn't a corpse. Instead, she was trying her best to turn Lin Sanjiu into a corpse.
Even though the housecleaner's memory had been crushed, their ability to control their abilities seemed to have been deeply embedded in their bones.
Wherever the palm passed through, it seemed to corrode a vacuum trail in the air. The moment the trail appeared, the surrounding air surged into it, trying to fill the vacuum created by the palm. Lin Sanjiu did not dare to let the palm "vacuum" her face. She shrank her neck and used the same trick again. She dove back into the water with a splash.
However, this time, she was facing two enemies.
The pitch-black seawater suddenly blocked her vision and filled her ears. Not only was the light dimmed, but all sounds were drowned out by the seawater. It was also because of this that it was too late when Lin Sanjiu realized that there was another woman behind her.
"Defend!" Mrs. Manas shouted. Just as Lin Sanjiu hurriedly activated her defense, the seawater behind her rippled. Two gigantic things rushed toward Lin Sanjiu from both sides.
Her [Higher Consciousness Defense] could block part of the attack, but it was useless against this kind of attack. The two gigantic, two-meter-long pincers were clamping down on her body. Lin Sanjiu felt dizzy and her head was spinning. She quickly turned her right hand around and placed it on the pair of cold, gigantic pincers to activate her [Planar World].
She wasn't interested in Special Items that came to her doorstep.
"Huh?"
She activated her [Planar World] a few times in a row, but the pincers did not turn into cards. Instead, they squeezed even harder, as if they were trying to crush all the bones in her body. Lin Sanjiu's vision was filled with specks of golden light. She turned her head around and realized that the two pincers were sticking out from the shoulders of the woman behind her. They seemed to be a part of her body.
"That's great," Mrs. Manas heaved a sigh of relief. "You can use your [Mosaic Mutation] —"
As she said that, she realized that she couldn't use her [Mosaic Mutation].
When Lin Sanjiu tried to dodge the pincers, one of her hands was stuck between the opening and closing of the left pincer. She could barely keep half of her wrist out of the pincer. Her palm was suspended in the seawater, but she couldn't touch the pincer. Lin Sanjiu's face was pale from anxiety. Her fingertips were stuck so tightly that there was no blood flow. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the steel-like shell of the pincer.
Before she could try a second time, the first woman poked her face out of the water.
Trapped in the water, Lin Sanjiu had lost half of her combat power. Worst of all, even if she summoned her Special Item, it would be useless. She couldn't even move her hands, so how could she use the Special Item she summoned? Seeing her own face sinking deeper and deeper, Lin Sanjiu's heart was burning with anxiety. Gritting her teeth, she didn't give herself much time to think. She made up her mind and sent out her Higher Consciousness.
Her Higher Consciousness was not directed upwards or backwards. Lin Sanjiu's Higher Consciousness was hindered by the water, so it had lost about 30% of its power. Even though she couldn't use it to hurt her enemy, it was enough to harm herself. Lin Sanjiu made up her mind. When the first woman sank into the water, she wrapped her Higher Consciousness around her palm and snapped it in half.
Even though Lin Sanjiu was submerged in the ice-cold seawater, she could feel the sweat beading on her forehead. Lin Sanjiu didn't even look at the first woman. Instead, she used her Higher Consciousness to push her broken palm. This time, she managed to touch the giant pincer with both her hands at the same time.
The waves shook with a loud bang. In the aftermath of countless waves that spread far away, fragments of the pincer shell, blood, strands of mucus, bone fragments, and minced flesh that looked like iron slag had already covered the entire sea in a breath's time. Lin Sanjiu jumped out of the nightmarish pool of sticky, heavy, and fragmented water. She dashed toward the first woman like an arrow. Startled, the woman immediately raised her hand and tried to stop Lin Sanjiu. Lin Sanjiu lowered her head. Using the force of the water current, she pressed her uninjured hand on the woman's arm before the woman could touch her.
Lin Sanjiu was much luckier than the previous woman. She didn't disintegrate into a million pieces. Instead, she shot out of the sea like a rocket launcher and disappeared into the white fog. After some time, she heard a faint 'ding'.
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly kicked her way out of the water. As soon as she emerged from the water, she gulped a few mouthfuls of air.
When the other "Lin Sanjiu" saw that the two of them had failed, the other "Lin Sanjiu" immediately reacted like watchdogs. Without a word, they leaped onto the waves and ran toward Lin Sanjiu. However, Lin Sanjiu still had some time. The battle in the water only lasted for twenty to thirty seconds. The other "Lin Sanjiu" were still far away, and Puppeteer could probably hold on for a while longer. At least, he could hold on until she took the collar off the corpse.
As she had expected, the next most difficult and difficult part was to "cut off the head of the keeper."
"I'm sorry," Lin Sanjiu grabbed the corpse with her Higher Consciousness and gripped the knife tightly in her uninjured right hand. The man's eyes were closed, and his expression was serene. He seemed to be resting. However, the blade of the knife had sunk deep into the skin of his neck. No blood flowed out from the wound. "You lost your life for me, but I'm going to destroy your corpse … I will bury it."
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes. The footsteps of the "Lin Sanjiu" behind her were getting closer and closer.
"Cut it!" Mrs. Manas shouted.
When Lin Sanjiu held the [Pygmalion Choker] in her hand again, the corpse had turned into two cards: one for the body and the other for the head. She quickly put the cards away and put the choker around her neck. With a click, the choker tightened.
"Puppeteer!"
With the choker tightened, Lin Sanjiu felt more confident. "I can now —"
She wanted to say that she could now use the Veda's method to deal with the highest god, but when she turned around in the water, she forgot what she wanted to say.
