By the time Noscent's mana started to dissipate, the Puppet Plane had yet to be conquered.
However, he had learned a lot about the Puppet Plane, far more than he had in the previous eras combined.
Among them, there were detailed records of the Cybertan Race's ability runes.
Heaven Puppets would inevitably awaken wisdom, but not all Heaven Puppets would awaken special abilities.
Only a small part of them would awaken special ability runes, and most of the puppets that awakened special abilities would awaken some relatively low level ability runes.
Like the ability runes that strengthened the power of certain elemental spells, ranging from 5% to 20%. There were also some that strengthened the power of certain spells.
These were all relatively low tier ability runes. Melee puppets could strengthen a certain part of their body, strengthen a certain part of their defense, or even strengthen a certain part of their speed.
They were also relatively low tier ability runes. But the Sunder Armor Rune of this four-armed puppet belonged to the category of relatively powerful melee ability runes. This was relatively rare in the Puppet Plane.
And that casting puppet's ability rune could strengthen the power of all fire spells. This was considered a mid-tier ability rune.
Of the two Heaven Puppets he encountered before, one had a Lightning Speed Rune, while the other had a rune that strengthened the power of spells.
These were high-tier ability runes that were rarely seen in the Puppet Plane. Puppets with the power of these runes had a very high status in the Cybertan Race. They were comparable to the ten Golden Bloodline Overlords of the Abyss.
But he saw quite a few in these ruins, and every Heaven Puppet actually had an ability rune.
This was obviously very abnormal. If it was one or two, it would be fine, but if it was three or four, then it was definitely not a coincidence!
These puppets were all man-made, and their talent simply couldn't compare to the puppets of the Puppet Plane.
Even if man-made puppets had a huge advantage in many aspects, with many systems and components being more perfect, they still had a huge shortcoming, and that was that this kind of optimization would be too heavy on craftsmanship to a certain extent, making it very difficult to advance to the Heaven Rank.
Moreover, even if they advanced to the Heaven Rank and awakened wisdom, the probability of obtaining a special ability was very low. It was even lower than the Heaven Puppets of the Puppet Plane's ability runes.
After all, the Heaven Puppets of the Puppet Plane had a very low probability of obtaining an ability rune, yet these man-made puppets all had an ability rune. This was too abnormal.
It could even be said to be impossible!
Lin Yun was observing, but a crisis had already appeared on the battlefield.
Laibo was led away by that four-armed puppet. The four-armed puppet's Sunder Armor Rune, coupled with those four sharp swords, posed a huge threat to Laibo.
The Secret Monastery's Sword Saints always walked the path of techniques. Most of their power was used for bursts and attacks, their defense was for blocking, and their Battle Aura Armor was a kind of weak Battle Armor with layers of weakening.
And this kind of Battle Armor lost its weakening effect in front of the Sunder Armor Rune. Every layer of defense was like a piece of paper to the Sunder Armor Rune, it could be easily torn apart. Even if there were more layers, the result would be the same. In front of this kind of power, the defensive ability was inferior to an ordinary Sword Saint's Battle Aura Armor.
Laibo was forced to lead the others away, leaving Mariana, Constantine, and the others in a precarious situation. Their strength was pretty good, and any one of them could be considered a first-rate Sword Saint in the outside world. Their fighting techniques might even be a bit stronger, and with their deathless aura, ordinary peak 9th Rank Sword Saints wouldn't be their match.
Only some first-rate Sword Saint powerhouses might be able to fight against them, and they might end up defeated under the suppression of deathless aura.
The coordination of the six of them seemed to have been trained, but unfortunately, no matter how well they coordinated, they were only Sword Saints, they weren't Sword Saints of an army. They didn't have that kind of tacit understanding tempered through blood. In this kind of fierce battle, it was easy for small flaws to appear in their coordination.
But these small flaws were immediately magnified to a fatal degree when faced with these puppets under the command of a battle system.
The cooperation of over forty puppets could be said to have no blind spots. At any time, from any angle, attacks would fall on their bodies. The six first-rate Sword Saints could only passively defend. The six of them formed a circle and barely resisted the attacks.
Without Laibo's protection, their situation became very bad. At this time, that Heaven Rank casting puppet started aiming its arm at these small guys.
Laibo anxiously stomped his feet, but he was firmly entangled by that four-armed puppet. Even if they were only a few dozen meters apart, he couldn't kill his way over.
The four-armed puppet's four arms danced and its four sharp swords kept crisscrossing. It was as if four Heaven Rank Sword Saints with tacit understanding were besieging him. And with the power of the Sundering Armor Rune, Laibo simply didn't have the power to be distracted.
"Sir Mafa, please help us. Let's get rid of these guys first," Laibo anxiously shouted.
Laibo anxiously shouted. He could clearly see that Lin Yun was very dissatisfied with Constantine acting on his own. If not for Constantine, everyone might have already left this damned place and they wouldn't have encountered this kind of danger.
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but Mariana loudly shouted.
"Senior Brother, we don't need anyone's help with our strength, we can get rid of these damned iron lumps!"
As for Constantine, he had a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected things to turn out like this. He only curled his lips in disdain when he heard Laibo's words.
'That Mafa Merlin? He's only a 9th Rank Archmage, how could he help us under such circumstances?
'Look, he's scared silly. He's like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand, hiding on the side, not daring to approach. If he dared to leak a wisp of his power, those crazy puppets would tear him apart in a few seconds.
'What a joke, senior brother Laibo, he actually went to ask that Mafa Merlin. He only has a bit of talent in the field of alchemy, what he needs now isn't alchemy, but real fighting power.
'Even if he can dismantle those puppets with one hand, it depends on the situation. The puppets here are like monsters covered in spikes. If he dared to extend his hand, he would be torn apart in an instant.'
Laibo had an anxious and bitter expression. He couldn't help looking at Lin Yun with a pleading expression while fighting.
"Sir Mafa, they are only youngsters who haven't come out yet, they don't understand much. Please don't mind them, let's get rid of these puppets first and I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
Laibo's tone became firm as he said those last words, as if he had truly hardened his heart.
Laibo was distracted and the four-armed puppet's sharp sword immediately slashed at his arm. The Sunder Armor rune on the sharp sword suddenly shone and instantly tore through Laibo's Battle Aura Armor. Then, the sharp blade cut through Laibo's body and blood splashed out.
At the same time, the Heaven Rank casting puppet that had only been releasing Firebolts also shot out a ray of light from its right arm. The extremely fast ray of light instantly hit Laibo's Song of Sacrifice.
A huge amount of vitality and deathless aura burst out at the same time. Runes even appeared on the surface of the Song of Sacrifice. White rays of light and a huge deathly still aura formed a two-meter-tall defensive layer protecting Laibo.
Explosions kept echoing as Laibo's body was sent flying several hundred meters away. That four-armed puppet also followed closely behind.
But at this time, the eight cannons on the Heaven Rank casting puppet's left arm started rapidly revolving and thick Firebolts shot towards Constantine's group of six.
In the distance, Laibo let out a despairing roar as his vitality started falling. More and more runes appeared on the surface of the Song of Sacrifice, but he didn't dare to push back the four-armed puppet before the Firebolts hit Mariana's group of six and cross several hundred meters.
As for Constantine's group of six, they were deathly pale. Just now, the Heaven Rank casting puppet's attack had fallen on Laibo's body, but they knew how powerful those Firebolts were.
That was pure flame power compressed to a high degree before erupting in the form of a Firebolt. The operating principle was very different from spells, it was more similar to mana crystal cannons.
The power of that kind of spell was related to the degree of compression and the strength of the mana. Even Laibo needed to dodge those Firebolts. His Battle Aura Armor fluctuated when he took them head-on, as if it was about to break.
How could they resist that kind of power?
Now that they were besieged by a few dozen puppets, they simply couldn't dodge. As long as one of them made a mistake, the six of them would die. They would either be shot to death by the Heaven Rank Puppet's Firebolts or torn to shreds by the surrounding puppets.
Mariana pursed her lips. She couldn't say that she could, she couldn't say that she didn't need help, her eyes were filled with despair.
'It's over, it's over … The powerful Sword Saint Mariana, the future Heaven Rank Sword Saint, is going to die in the hands of these damned iron lumps, and her death will be very unsightly.
'She might be disfigured and her body might be burnt to ashes, or she might be torn to shreds by those hateful iron lumps, and her corpse might not even be intact.'
In the distance, Laibo's eyes were red, but it was too late. He could only stare blankly.
"Sir Mafa!"
Laibo roared, his voice was filled with despair.
Several dozen blades, several dozen level 39 puppets' Firebolts, as well as the Heaven Rank Puppet's eight thick Firebolts, all fell on Mariana's group of six.
Suddenly, a series of law runes appeared beside them and several dozen Elemental Shields layered on top of each other, protecting them.
Even in front of them, ancient ice gates carved with all kinds of ice magic beasts burst out of the ground.
Loud sounds echoed as seven Askrim Gates rushed out of the ground, emitting dense white cold air. That Heaven Rank Puppet's Firebolts easily tore through three of the Askrim Gates, but their power was somewhat reduced by the 4th one. After shattering six Askrim Gates, the Firebolts thoroughly dissipated.
Seeing the several dozen Elemental Shields appearing in the surroundings, as well as the seven six-meter-tall Askrim Gates, Mariana's group of six was stunned. They looked at the shields and the seven Askrim Gates in shock.
In the distance, Lin Yun slowly walked over. Countless law runes floated on the surface of his body and rapidly condensed into a Law Runic Shield. The Draconic Staff appeared in his right hand and the Book of Death condensed in his left hand. The shackles on the Book of Death collapsed and the pages automatically opened.
On the right, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel slowly rotated and elemental power transformed into a wave that spread out. On the left, the flaming Book of Mantras also appeared and the terrifying flame aura carried endless waves of destruction.
After taking another step forward, Lin Yun's mana burst out and the surrounding air completely distorted. The terrifying aura instantly attracted everyone's attention, including all the puppets' gazes.
The Heaven Rank casting puppet's arms immediately turned towards Lin Yun. As for the four-armed puppet, it also turned its head and countless data flowed within its scarlet crystal eyes. It seemed ready to immediately abandon Laibo to deal with Lin Yun.
The forty puppets besieging Mariana instantly abandoned them and turned to charge at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun took another step and his body rose to ten meters, but he instantly shrank to three meters. Terrifying elemental fluctuations spread on the surface of his body and four-colored radiance floated. His body looked like a monster mixed with four elemental lifeforms, but it gave people the feeling that an elemental lifeform should look like this.
After taking the 3rd step, a Purple Dragon shadow flew out of the Draconic Staff. The huge and imposing Purple Dragon was holding a continuously revolving wheel shadow and floated behind Lin Yun.
At this time, Lin Yun's aura had already risen from that of an ordinary person to the point where he could suppress a 9th Rank Sword Saint with his aura alone.
In the distance, Mariana's group of six had their mouths wide open as they foolishly looked at the bursting Lin Yun. It was as if they were looking at a God. They even had to use their deathless aura to resist just sensing his aura.
"So … So powerful, is that guy really an Archmage? Why is he the same rank as me? Why is he more powerful than me …"
Mariana stuttered as she looked at Lin Yun, already a bit stunned. On the side, Constantine was even more scared. How could this be the aura of a 9th Rank Archmage? Even a 1st Rank Heaven Mage might not necessarily have this kind of aura.
"I … I seem to remember … Senior apprentice brother Laibo said that Sir Mafa Merlin seems to be a bit stronger than senior apprentice brother Laibo …"
A young Sword Saint beside him stuttered, and no one said anything at that moment.
As for Lin Yun's successive bursts, the array's detection runes seemed to have crashed. They didn't know how to judge Lin Yun's rank and strength, they didn't know how to arrange an opponent.
All the detection runes flickered for a few seconds before two more Heaven Puppets appeared on the square.
In the distance, Laibo sighed in relief, but he was somewhat worried again.
"Sir Mafa, what should we do now? How do we leave this damned place? "
Lin Yun had a cold expression as he looked at the three Heaven Puppets and the several dozen level 39 Heaven Puppets in front of him.
"We can leave after destroying these guys."
In an instant, the two casting puppets raised their arms at the same time. A Frost Rune shone on one of their arms, while a Flame Rune shone on the other's arm.
The three puppets simultaneously released Firebolts, Frostbolts, and even Radiant Bolts.
There were also twenty level 39 casting puppets and over twenty melee puppets, all attacking at the same time.
Lin Yun frowned. If these puppets exploded, then so be it, their components weren't necessary. As for those few Heaven Puppets, he only needed to keep their corpses for research. The most important thing was to study their ability runes, there was no need to dismantle them.
Facing so many attacks, Lin Yun sneered. His body slowly floated up and an ancient bronze scales appeared under his feet. Anderfa floated to the right tray of the scales while Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras to land on the left tray.
In an instant, a several-dozen-meter-tall flaming gate appeared behind the Book of Mantras. The gate slowly opened and a boundless flood of flames rushed out.
As for the right side, the surging power from the void poured into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. In an instant, a several-dozen-meter-big complicated wheel appeared behind the Spell Wheel. The wheel looked like countless circles nestled together, and as those circles kept revolving, a boundless elemental storm crazily erupted from within.
As for Lin Yun, he raised his Draconic Staff and the radiance of the four elements converged. Four Element Bombs were rapidly condensed, dragging long tails behind them as they fell towards the three Heaven Puppets like a meteor shower.
Suddenly, all the surrounding melee puppets were swept away by the flood of flames and the elemental storm. They were like trees falling into a flood and were sent flying, unable to control their own bodies.
The elemental storm blew and strangled the puppets, causing the light on their bodies to rapidly decline. The Corrosive Fire was corroding holes on the surface of the puppets' bodies, and the pure high-temperature Hellfire burned down many key components.
After a few seconds, a dozen melee puppets turned into piles of scrap iron. As for the casting puppets that were standing a bit further away, they were still drawn into the flood of flames and the elemental storm.
Several dozen puppets that had almost torn Mariana's group apart and suppressed them to the point where they could only bitterly defend were mostly destroyed by Lin Yun, and the remaining half were almost destroyed.
This was the suppression of power. It was also the reason why most mages paid attention to ranks. As long as they had absolute power, no matter how good the other side's coordination, no matter how precise their tactics were, no matter how many people they had, it would be useless. They only needed to crush their opponents!
