Even after a hundred years of analysis and research, they still couldn't figure out the cause of the 'heretics going out of control'. However, at the very least, the Divine Heart Association had vanished into thin air along with Chu Zhiling's death.
For a hundred years, it had been the focus of the Holy League's leadership. Whenever it showed signs of revival, they would immediately invest a lot of resources and the most elite forces to suppress and annihilate it.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, the Holy League had produced more than a hundred small heresy associations, but the Divine Heart Society had never made a comeback — until two or three years ago.
Two or three years ago, the hundred years of peace were broken. The Divine Heart Society rose from the ashes and became even more cunning and secretive. Not only did it escape the search and encirclement of the Inquisition of Heresy time and time again, it even vaguely gathered dozens of different small heresy associations and showed signs of a rebellion. Perhaps it was because the Holy League had lost dozens of Sectors in the Imperium's counterattack. Even though it was a 'quasi-hive civilization', it still dealt a heavy blow to the overall structure and caused turbulence within the body, giving the heresy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The leadership of the Holy League was in a hurry to get rid of the Divine Heart Society that had risen from the ashes completely before the final battle with the Imperium. But this time, they had wasted two years without even knowing who the new leader of the Divine Heart Society was.
Some people said that the new leader of the Divine Heart Society was Chu Zhiling. She did not die at all back then. She was merely training in seclusion and receiving the teachings of a true god. She was' reborn 'a hundred years later.
Some people even said that the new leader of the Divine Heart Society was Chu Zhiling's descendant or even a 'Devil Child' who had escaped in secret. It was a mistake in the 'Devil Child Project' that led to the bitter consequences.
However, Li Yao could not find any evidence to support the two speculations in the confidential files of the 'Devil Child Project'. Chu Zhiling, the leader of the Divine Heart Society a hundred years ago, must have died without a trace, and the 'Devil Child Project' had never made any mistakes before Li Yao's sabotage.
Having no other choice, the 'cleaners' who were responsible for investigating and destroying the Divine Heart Society could only give the mysterious new leader of the Divine Heart Society a code name.
They called him 'King of Puppets'.
"Puppet King, huh? Interesting."
Li Yao mumbled to himself, "To be able to lurk within the Holy League for at least two years and plan and instigate a series of riots without his real identity being found out by the people of the Holy League, he must be one of the top experts in the Pangu universe. I really want to know what kind of person he is."
"If you want to work together with the Puppet King to harm the Holy League, then I have to remind you."
The mental devil said, "The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. It's just like the Federation's enemy is the Imperium, and the Imperium's enemy is the Holy League, but the Holy League can never be the Federation's friend.
"If Chu Zhiling's Divine Heart Society a hundred years ago was still somewhat innovative and progressive, and it was a target of communication and cooperation, then the Divine Heart Society a hundred years later has been utterly deformed by the Puppet King. His methods are even more clandestine, sordid, and bloody. Just look at the series of cases that the Puppet King created when he announced the return of the Divine Heart Society. For certain insignificant purposes, the guy did not hesitate to kill all the people on a starship, whether they were 'worker bees', 'soldier bees', or priests!
"Therefore, if you think that you can persuade the Puppet King to agree with you and fight the Ultimate Benevolence Masters together after you find him in a hurry, you are too naïve." Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Bloody, gory pictures flashed above Li Yao's soul.
They were all the sabotage that the Divine Heart Society had caused in the Holy League in the past two years.
Just like the mental devil said, the Puppet King and Chu Zhiyun were two "leaders" in completely different styles.
In order to demonstrate the existence of himself and the Divine Heart Society, the Puppet King was not stingy at all.
"This guy …"
Even though Li Yao forced himself to be coldhearted and used to the extreme approaches of the people of the Holy League, the bloody, shocking pictures still triggered the displeasure in the deepest part of his soul.
If the Ultimate Benevolence Masters' inhuman torture was for some sort of "experiment" and "research", there was no telling why the mountains of corpses and the oceans of blood that the Puppet King created.
Perhaps, the Divine Heart Society a hundred years ago was a completely different organization, and the Puppet King was merely using Chu Zhiling's name.
It was certainly not an ally that he could make.
However, Li Yao had to find a "leverage point" after all.
Pondering for a long time, his soul waves bounced again.
"Arrange all the information about the Devil Child Project, the Cleaners, and the Puppet King that you have collected. Then, look for the overlapping data."
Li Yao said to the mental devil, "Let's see if there is any information that is closely related to all three of them!"
"… Good idea. We can give it a try."
This time, the mental devil surprisingly did not refute Li Yao. Instead, it unleashed the crimson soul waves to the maximum. From the spreading waves, countless runes and data flowed out. Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua!
Shua! The infinite data congregated into three enormous swirls. The swirls rotated at a high speed while they attracted each other. When they finally overlapped, the data that were almost identical to each other jumped out and flooded into Li Yao's soul like tides.
A waterfall of information immediately appeared in Li Yao's eyes. In the meantime, he captured what he needed during the lengthy data retrieval.
It was the 3D phantom of a woman in a military uniform.
Her face was as emotionless as if she were wearing a frost mask all day long. Even her eyes were black and white, devoid of any emotion. It was impossible to tell whether she was a real person or a spiritual puppet that was covered in a layer of bionic skin. The short purple hair that reached her ears was perhaps the only thing on her body that indicated her personality. Other than that, the air of destruction that forbade strangers was spreading out from her body.
However, what interested Li Yao was not her vibe but her appearance.
"Isn't this Chu Zhiyun?"
The woman built by the 3D phantom was almost identical to Thangka's beloved monitor, Chu Zhiyun. Of course, she was more mature and fit, like an enlarged monitor.
Together with the 3D phantom rolling out, tremendous information about her identity and all the files related to her in the data that the mental devil had collected.
Chu Zhixiao, the nineteenth generation of the Devil Child, a sub-project of the Devil Child Project, the Heavenly Goddess Slaughtering Plan, a major of the Blessed Army, the Cleaners, and the Yakshas.
Entries popped up in Li Yao's eyes one after another.
As it turned out, the woman named "Chu Zhixiao" was really the biological sister of Thangka's monitor. Like Zhou Xiuyun and Chu Zhiyun, she had the same mother, Chu Zhiling, the president of the Divinity Heart Club, a hundred years ago. They were all Devil Children.
Chu Zhixiao was decades older than Chu Zhiyun. She was the nineteenth generation of the Devil Child, and Chu Zhiyun was the twenty-ninth generation of the Devil Child. However, it did not mean that her "model" was behind Chu Zhiyun's. The two of them were born for two entirely different research directions.
On Chu Zhiyun, Thangka's monitor, the researchers hoped that she could 100% simulate everything about Chu Zhiling in the past, from her mindset to her habits. It would be best if she could be a "clone of Chu Zhiling".
On the other hand, on the nineteenth generation of the Devil Child, the researchers combined Chu Zhiling's life seed with the genes of the Holy League's most loyal and powerful warriors, hoping to create a version of Chu Zhiling with "maximum combat power".
As the "Holy Inspector", Chu Zhiling's individual combat power was already extremely strong. After implanting a large number of combat genes and activating and modulating them in various crazy ways, it was hard to imagine what kind of destructive monster would be created.
Li Yao did not know why the lunatics of the Devil Child Project wanted to create such a monster.
After racking his brains, he could only think of two possibilities.
Either the researchers wanted to know what it would be like in the worst-case scenario, when a heretic whose combat power and bewitchment ability had reached the limit appeared, and according to the destruction caused by the nineteenth generation of the Devil Child, they would formulate a corresponding prevention and control plan.
Or the researchers were trying to see if the genes of the Holy League's most loyal and powerful warriors could suppress the potential uncontrollable factors in Chu Zhiling's genes.
In short, the "Goddess of Slaughter" project was indeed the most dangerous of the countless sub-projects of the Devil Child Project.
As a result, after the nineteenth generation of the Devil Child tested its peak combat power, it no longer required combat power from the twentieth generation of the Devil Child. It even intentionally or unintentionally weakened the Devil Child's combat power.
Perhaps, there had been a terrible loss of control in the past. Even though the researchers were prepared, it still caused heavy damage.
Most of the Devil Children codenamed the nineteenth generation were scrapped and destroyed shortly after they "matured" due to overload and other reasons. They even withered when they were still in the embryonic state because they could not withstand the overly violent power.
To this day, only one of the nineteenth generation of the Devil Child survived.
That was the owner of the 3D phantom that slowly rotated in Li Yao's vision. It was Chu Zhixiao, the captain of the Yaksha Squad, the Ninth Investigation Mobile Team, a subordinate of the Inquisition of the Heresy, and the codename "Major".
"Just like Chu Zhiyun, she continued to grow as a 'class monitor' in the Holy Light Academy. After gradually revealing the characteristics of the 'Goddess of Slaughter', she was sent to the floating fortress for inhumane research. Almost all her companions died miserably during the research, or they lost control of their power and burned out their brilliant vitality in an instant, turning into ashes. Only she was lucky enough to survive.
"Her memories were erased again and again, and she was subjected to crueler strengthening experiments again and again in an attempt to stimulate the awakening of the primeval genes on a deeper level. In the end, she became an existence similar to an 'ultimate weapon'.
"This time, after her memories were erased again, she was sent to the 'Blessed Army', the regular army of the Holy League, where she was active on the battlefield of the Imperium's counterattack with the rank of 'Major', causing countless troubles for the Imperium.
"In the later years of the Imperium's counterattack, when there were no tough battles to fight, she was summoned back from the frontline. Part of her memories were erased again, and she was removed from the military. She joined the Inquisition of the Heresy as a 'Cleaner'. She was also the captain of the notorious' Ninth Investigation Mobile Team ', which was responsible for investigating the cases of the Divine Heart Society and the King of Puppets.
"Wait. Isn't Chu Zhixiao the daughter of Chu Zhiling, the leader of the Divine Heart Society, an 'experiment subject' that may go out of control at any moment? What's the deal with using the daughter of the leader of the previous generation to investigate the leader of the current generation? New experiments with poison?
"All in all … this woman's life is truly rotten!"
Li Yao's soul waves had never been so sharp before. They were as sharp as the crazily shivering teeth on a chainsword.
Wasn't the woman named Chu Zhixiao a 'brain in a tank' in another form, too?
