Those fanatics called themselves "Awakened" or "Glorious", and the other people of the Holy League who were still ignorant and unmotivated were "Fools" and "Blind". Their slogan was "100% faith is not enough. 120% faith is the real faith". They believed that it was exactly because there were too many "Fools" and "Blind" in the Holy League that the glory of the gods couldn't be spread to the whole universe for such a long time.
The current path did not work, so they had to change to a more fanatical and extreme way. As for the proof, wasn't it right in front of their eyes? If the current path was correct, why couldn't a "tiny empire" be settled after a thousand years?
Therefore, those fanatics naturally had to turn the world upside down, wake up more "Fools" and "Blind", and spread their glory to every nerve ending of the Holy League.
If the "Disillusionment Virus" made people slack off, the "Glory Virus" was the opposite. The fanatics who were infected by the virus saw everybody as slacking off, as if they were disloyal to the Ultimate Benevolence Masters and the gods, and as if they were possessed by extraterrestrial devils.
Therefore, on countless planets and starships, there were cases of the infected attacking other people. The infected people who were caught often claimed that they were "waking up" other people because other people were slacking off and they wanted to inspire other people's loyalty and honor so that their work efficiency could be improved.
The Glory Virus became more and more intense. In the end, there was even an absurd theory.
It was said that two of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters agreed with the reform. They wanted to inject more positive elements into the brains of the soldiers and the workers so that they would be brighter, more determined, and more fanatical.
However, the other three Ultimate Benevolence Masters had different opinions. They were still hesitant and insisted on the current path, which was destined to be hopeless.
Therefore, the "Awakened" and "Glorious" had to support their Ultimate Benevolence Masters and show their strength to the hesitant Ultimate Benevolence Masters!
It was not hard to imagine how much damage the victims of the glory virus could cause after they caused a ruckus, and how much shock the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters would have when they heard such absurd rumors.
The Glory Virus was much more destructive than the Disillusionment Virus. It had even caused a rift among the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters. From then on, the King of Puppets and his divine heart would completely surface and become the number one public enemy of the entire Holy League!
Before the flames of the Disillusionment Virus and the Glory Virus had yet to be extinguished, the Taotie Virus started spreading again.
If the previous two viruses were too illusory and superficial, then the Gluttony Virus directly targeted the most primitive appetite of human beings. It spread faster, covered a larger area, and was harder to defend against. Countless "soldier bees" and "worker bees" turned into ghouls, and even the priests of the Ultimate Benevolence were eroded. It was obvious that the King of Puppets' cultivation and his ability to create "brain viruses" was increasing day by day. It was unstoppable!
After reading the files of the King of Puppets, Li Yao's soul was fluctuating and could not calm down for a long time.
"I suddenly feel that he is much stronger than you, really," the mental devil said.
The mental devil said, "Look, after you came to the Imperium of True Human Beings, you had a series of fortuitous coincidences. At first, you clung to the queen, then you relied on Long Yangjun, Xiaoming, and Wenwen's help. In the end, you had to count on the support of your little brother, Li Jialing. Even so, you failed to completely settle the Imperium and still had to compromise with the Immortal Cultivators such as Lei Chenghu. You failed to take down the four families. You sound like the Black Wind King of the Imperium, but in fact, you are sloppy and ambiguous. You are exposed for all to see!
"Look at the King of Puppets. Look at him! If he were an old acquaintance from the Xing Yao Federation, he would've jumped to the Holy League on his own with a squad at best, wouldn't he?
"But he was able to create all kinds of unpredictable and fatal viruses from scratch. He defeated five Ultimate Benevolence Masters on his own and turned the entire Holy League upside down. No matter how many 'Blessed Warriors', 'Purgers', and 'cleaners' the Holy League sent out, he was always free and unpunished!
"The King of Puppets' existence was a serious blow to the evil plan of the leadership of the Holy League to gather all the resources and fight the Imperium. It delayed the time for the main forces of the Holy League to gather and attack, forcing the leadership of the Holy League to devote a lot of attention and resources to the internal affairs. Otherwise, it would've been possible that the main fleet of the Holy League would've appeared in the sky of the capital half a year earlier, and the Imperium would've been screwed a long time ago.
"Therefore, on the surface, you saved the Imperium and indirectly the Federation and the entire Pangu universe, but in fact, half of the King of Puppets' medals should've been included in your military credits, if not more!
"Gap. That's exactly the gap between you and him. No wonder the King of Puppets ranks first in the 'individual threat database' of the Holy League, and you are merely one of the top three!"
"Hey, hey, hey. That's enough. Do you feel proud that I've been overshadowed by someone else?"
Li Yao couldn't help but say, "I'm a righteous man. Naturally, I have a lot of concerns. This King of Puppets, on the other hand, is a sordid and perverted lunatic. He even came up with such evil things as the Disillusionment Virus, the Glory Virus, and the Taotie Virus. Of course … Of course, he looks more arrogant!"
"But don't you think that only the King of Puppets' methods are effective against such an evil country as the Holy League? As the saying goes, fight poison with poison!"
The mental devil said, "After reading the cases, I appreciate the mysterious old acquaintance more and more. Ha. I can't believe that he came up with the idea that 'two Ultimate Benevolence Masters are on our side. All Awakened ones, seize our glory'. Hahaha. I really want to see the faces of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters when they hear it!"
"Would you please stand firm? We are Cultivators. We will never use the lives and dignity of ordinary people as weapons!"
Li Yao said solemnly, "Getting to the bottom of it, the King of Puppets is no different from the Ultimate Benevolence Masters. They both distort and erase humanity for their own purposes. If the King of Puppets' Divine Heart Society does seize the power of the entire Holy League, he will only transform the Holy League into a country that is even darker and eviler!"
"Hehe. Of course, that's what I'm talking about."
The mental devil said, "However, if you were the King of Puppets, what would you do when faced with such a Holy League?
"No, there's no need to 'change' at all. Let's just talk about the situation right now. It's true that the Holy League controlled by the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters is certainly not good, but what can you do about it? Even if you slay the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters instantly with your destructive techniques, what will you do about the billions of ignorant, inhumane people in the Holy League, and the hundred Sectors that are barren and on the verge of collapse?
"Come on. Tell me, with your 'spirit of Cultivation' and your 'charisma', how are you going to maintain the safety and order of billions of creatures and hundreds of Sectors in the post- Holy League without the Ultimate Benevolence Masters, and how are you going to awaken the humanity of the soldiers and the workers bit by bit?
"Yes. The King of Puppets gave you a dose of 'fierce medicine' with high side effects. If you think that he is wrong, what's your prescription, Doctor Li?"
After a long daze, Li Yao said, "In any case, we can't just do that. There must be other solutions, right?"
The mental devil exclaimed, "Ha!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "Look at the victims of the Disillusionment Virus who do not know how to cry out in pain after being slapped all over their body, and look at the ghouls who feed on the flesh of their own kind. Do you think that it's the right way to awaken humanity?"
"Fine, I was wrong. It's not."
The mental devil said, "Playing * * * * * is."
Li Yao: "…"
The mental devil: "…"
Li Yao sighed. "Forget it. I'm too tired to pretend to be a spider tank. I don't want to argue with you. Can we change the subject?"
"Of course."
The mental devil said, "The King of Puppets is naturally the focus of our attention, but the movement of the main force of the Holy League is even more important. Although there are not too many military secrets in the database of the Inquisition, we can still find some clues from the frequency and range of the cases.
"Look, two years ago, when the King of Puppets' viruses were just released, most of the cases happened on the habitable planets and the resource planets. But gradually, the cases on the planets became fewer and fewer, and the cases on the starships grew more and more.
"There's also the range of the infection. At the beginning, the outbreak of the virus was often limited to one or several starships, but in the recent half year, the infected people could be found on dozens of starships every time the virus outbreak broke out. What does it mean?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "The Puppet King's technology in producing mental drugs is more and more sophisticated. Also, the various types of brain viruses that he developed have weird mutations, too, and their infectiousness and damage have increased, haven't they?"
"Of course, that is part of it. But more importantly, it means that most of the forces of the Holy League have been transferred from the planets to the starships, and the starships are getting denser and denser."
The mental devil analyzed, "Look, only two years ago, a lot of resources and forces of the Holy League were scattered on the planets of various Sectors. They were far away from each other, and the information was not transmitted frequently. Therefore, the King of Puppets' viruses could only break out on one planet at a time.
"But in only two years, the resources and forces of the planets have been integrated into the starships. Also, the starships are congregating into an overwhelming fleet. It is perhaps a super fleet that has never appeared since the expedition of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago!
"It is exactly because the starships have been compressed into a tiny space that they are connected to the same enormous, complicated battle data network that astronomical information is flowing among hundreds of starships every second. That is why the King of Puppets' brain viruses caused so much damage when they were released.
"It is also the reason why the leadership of the Holy League is in a hurry to eliminate the King of Puppets as soon as possible. A great war is coming, and their battle data network will only become more and more compact. It is impossible for them to split or even paralyze the entire network just for the King of Puppets.
