Before the first spark died down, the metal head of the battle puppet had been raised by Li Yao like a hammer and smashed into the chest of the second battle puppet heavily, collapsing the entire chest.
The second battle puppet was still able to move. It took two steps back, trying to escape, but Li Yao's giant hand had already grabbed its head in advance. He exerted his strength and pushed the upper half of its body backward until it hit the wall nearby. After a boom, the scorching flames of light that were blown out of Li Yao's palm made the metal head collapse like a blossoming flower.
The two most advanced battle puppets were immediately wasted and collapsed like building blocks.
At this moment, the third battle puppet landed too.
Those battle puppets had all been installed with reactive armors and opened their spiritual shields. Although their shells were full of holes and smoke popping up because of the stormy attacks of the Nepenthe believers, they did not completely lose their combat ability.
It was not until this moment that Li Yao grabbed a handful of scraps of its companions and threw them at it casually. The scraps pierced through the computation chips in its head and the crystal reactor in its chest in earsplitting shrieks. It was not until then that it dimmed and collapsed in weird cracking noises.
In only one second, three battle puppets had been obliterated!
The Nepenthe believers merely suppressed their feelings and desires, but they did not lose the ability to think. Seeing Li Yao's unbelievable attack, they were all dumbfounded and caught in a brief silence.
"Something has happened. Drag the 'super brainwave magnifier' back. I'm going to modify it!" Li Yao commanded the Nepenthe believers.
The Nepenthe believers looked at each other in bewilderment. Looking at the Crystal Suit on Li Yao's body that was obviously beyond their imagination and the battlefield up ahead that was even more dangerous, they were hesitating whether or not they should listen to Li Yao's order, when weird waves suddenly came over from the air and flowed into their brains like trickles.
It was Long Yangjun's direct order to them through the reverberation of their brainwaves.
The 'Serenity Seraph' was in a respected position. Although she did not interfere with the specific affairs of the church, the battle was too chaotic right now, and Grand Guardian Xu Zhicheng was deeply involved in the battle. Naturally, they had to listen to the Serenity Seraph's command.
Therefore, the enormous penetrator that had just driven out of the forsaken mine returned the same way it had come. Deep inside the mine was a small, secret maintenance station, where the modification of the "super brainwave magnifier" was being carried out. A lot of simple and crude tools and maintenance magical equipment were placed around. They were all stolen from the factory by the workers under the pretext that they were "scrapped" or collected by themselves one screw after another.
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts spread out to the depths of the entire mine like a tide. He scanned every tool and maintenance magical equipment, as well as the spare materials placed in a corner.
The parameters of every tool and material instantly jumped out from the depths of his brain.
At the same time, he wondered how many backup assets were stored in the dozens of Cosmos Rings that he carried with him.
Based on the simple and crude facilities and all the usable materials in his hands, Li Yao drafted the blueprints of brand-new modifications quickly.
Narrowing his eyes, he pressed his hands on the surface of the "super brainwave magnifier" softly. His fingers vibrated slightly in a regular pattern, and ripples of spiritual energy flowed into the primeval treasure in a "moisturizing" way, allowing him to study its structure carefully.
Thankfully, after the Kunlun relic was discovered, Li Yao had spent quite a few years on the remote artificial planet in the primeval era. He had a deep understanding of the maintenance and modification of the primeval treasures.
Also, deep inside the Nuwa warship in the Ancient Sages Sector, with the maintenance manual of the Colossi from the primeval era, he had a deeper understanding of the primeval treasures.
He had seen a few "brainwave amplification magical equipment" of the same type when he was in the Xing Yao Federation. He had even dismantled, maintained, and discussed the modification plans with "Solar Eclipse" Jiang Shaoyang.
Although the model of the "brainwave amplification magical equipment" was slightly different from the few that he had seen before, its general structure and fundamental mechanism were the same.
Within five minutes, he had sketched out the quickest possible modification plan.
"Brother Yao!"
All the Nepenthe believers were waiting outside, but Li Jialing barged in. "Sister Long said that you asked for my help?"
"That's right. I'm going to modify this' super brainwave magnifier '. You'll be my assistant."
Li Yao retrieved the materials from his Cosmos Rings one after another and spread them on the ground. He said casually, "It doesn't need to be too precise. All you need to do is dismantle the enhancement coils that the Nepenthe believers added randomly and install a few anti-gravity units and defense units so that it can float and revolve slowly above my head. Time is of the essence. It doesn't matter if it looks pretty or not, as long as its function is acceptable. Just do what I say next. Don't worry, understand?"
"Okay!"
Li Jialing nodded and ran all the way to Li Yao, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Li Yao's hands that were pressed on the "super brainwave magnifier" softly suddenly vibrated more intensely. He carefully controlled the rhythm and sensed the features of the materials of the magical equipment, gradually making the magical equipment vibrate at the same frequency as him.
As he vibrated, tiny dust that was invisible to the naked eye slowly rose from the gaps of the magical equipment. The surface of the magical equipment that was previously lackluster was vaguely emanating weird brilliance that had not been emitted for hundreds of thousands of years, as if a certain mysterious force that was hidden inside the magical equipment had been awakened!
Huala!
After fully awakening the activity of the metal, Li Yao finally carried out the technique of remote manipulation to the maximum and dismantled the entire "super brainwave magnifier". All the components floated and revolved slowly in midair under the contrast of his spiritual energy.
Li Yao finally glanced at Li Jialing. "You seem to have something else to say?"
"N-Nothing."
After a moment of hesitation, Li Jialing couldn't help but say, "Sister Long said that your disease is incurable again.
"She also said that you must be trying to fool me by calling me in for help after you failed to fool her for a long time! She told me to keep my eyes open and be vigilant. No matter what you say, I can't be fooled by you and make a fool of myself with you! "
Li Yao blushed and coughed. While he did not stop his hands, he said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She is not a good person at all!"
"If Sister Long is not a good person, why are you hanging around with her, Brother Yao?"
Staring at Li Yao for a long time, Li Jialing said worriedly, "Brother Yao, is Sister Long telling the truth? Do you really want to resist the entire Black Iron Group with such a body? Do you know how heavily wounded you are? You only narrowly escaped from Blackstar the Great ten days ago. How many people in the entire sea of stars can do such a thing, and what a terrible price they have to pay after they do it? "
"Wrong."
Li Yao said casually, "It was Blackstar the Great who narrowly escaped from me. Don't be mistaken about that."
Li Jialing said in a hurry, "What's the point of saying that at such a moment? The most important thing is that your body is truly riddled with holes and on the brink of destruction, and your soul is a hundred times more wounded than your body! You can't take another high-intensity battle. Besides, you will be faced with Blackstar the Great's endless hunting after the battle!
"I really don't understand why that is!"
On one of his knees, Li Yao focused on polishing and shaping the chips and components that were going to be used later. After a long silence, he finally said, "Have you ever heard the saying 'the more capable one is, the greater the responsibility'?"
"Huh?"
Li Jialing was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe his ears. "Brother Yao, are you serious? Even if you really want to fool me, you don't have to fool me with such a cliché, do you? What do you mean by 'with great power comes great responsibility'? That's bullsh * t. Is it a crime to be strong, and we are born to be indebted to other people? Do we have to sacrifice ourselves just to stand out? On what grounds? My ability is strong because of my hard work and countless sacrifices. It's what I deserve! I like to be free and unfettered, as long as I don't bully other people or hurt the innocent. Is that not okay? Who can force me to shoulder a responsibility that does not belong to me? "
Li Yao smiled. "The saying 'with great power comes great responsibility' does not mean what you think it means. It is just a twisted interpretation of those with ulterior motives.
"Let me give you a simple example. If you are an ordinary person who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, your strength and perception are extremely limited. You are sitting at home playing with your crystal processor after eating your fill. You have no idea that there is an evil crime happening three streets away. For example … there is a little girl who is less than ten years old who is being bullied by three to five bullies.
"You don't know what's going on at all, so you are not responsible at all, right?"
Slightly dazed, Li Jialing nodded his head.
"However, what if you are a Refinement Stage Cultivator?"
Li Yao said, "If your hearing is keen enough for you to hear the feeble screams and the lewd laughter, would you open the window and take a look, or even look for the source of the screams and the laughter directly? If you do nothing, only to see the little girl's broken body on the news the next day, would you feel that you are shouldering some sort of responsibility? "
Li Jialing was silent.
"If you are stronger than that, you will be a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator."
Li Yao said, "Then, it is very likely that you can hear the screams and laughter clearly while you are sitting at home. You will know what is happening three blocks away in the blink of an eye. Every scream and every laughter will stab into your head like iron needles. Are you sure that you can sit at home and play with your crystal processor without doing anything?
"If you go one step further, you will be a Gold Core expert. Then, other than the screams and laughter, you will be able to hear more, see more, and sense more … including the despair of the little girl, the smell of her tears, and the stench that seeped out of every pore of the young ruffians. Also, you know that as long as you move your little finger, you can stop the tragedy from happening and make the young ruffians receive the punishment they deserve. Do you think that you have the responsibility to do so?
"Further, if you are an expert in the Yuanying Stage or the Divinity Transformation Stage, your senses will be able to spread to almost ten blocks away easily. You will be able to sense the pain and desperation of countless people, stop countless crimes that shouldn't have happened, and help a lot of people escape from the swirl of fate. Of course, you can also stand by and watch those people being humiliated, hurt, and exploited until they step into destruction step by step. Their every scream when they are hurt and destroyed will be deeply etched in the deepest part of your brain. It can't be helped that your senses are so keen that you can't not hear those voices!"
Li Jialing said in a shivering voice, "I can suppress my senses and stop the information from being transmitted!"
"That's right. You can, but that's just deceiving yourself. Because you clearly know that there are countless evil things happening around you. There are innocent girls being bullied, and you clearly have the chance to stop everything."
Li Yao said, "Do you understand it now? For ordinary people, there is a middle choice between 'good' and 'evil'. Ordinary people can absolutely live a carefree life without any responsibilities as long as they take care of themselves.
"However, for the experts, especially the ultimate experts who stand at the peak, there is no middle choice. You can either choose to save the little girl, punish the ruffians, and bear the damn responsibility from then on, fighting for every bullied person that you can sense so that your conscience can be at peace. Or, you can stand on the ruffians' side, whistling with your hands in your pockets, and watch the ruffians torture the little girl into bloody pieces. Such things will happen countless times around you every day, and you know it in your heart.
"Do you understand now? Every ordinary person in the Great Iron Plants is a little girl who is being bullied by the ruffians. I can hear their cries and screams every second, and I can smell their tears and blood. I will never forget the sounds and smells. Also, I know that I can do something for them! I really can't be indifferent. I really can't stop my eyes from seeing, my ears from hearing, my blood from boiling, and my legs from walking away automatically. I can't do it!
