"It does make sense. We can't do what the Puppet King did, but since the guy has been stirring trouble in the Holy League for so long, he must know the fatal loopholes of the Fuxi system like the back of his hand. If we can capture, suppress, or even swallow the Puppet King, we will certainly have a deeper understanding of the weaknesses of the Fuxi system. By then, with the loopholes and our magnificent abilities, won't it be easy for us to control the entire Fuxi system?"
Li Yao rubbed his fists. "Getting to the bottom of it, there are only five Ultimate Benevolence Masters. It is all thanks to the Fuxi system that they are able to manipulate thousands of starships and planets into an evil civilization. Once the Fuxi system collapses, their evil reign will be over, and we will have resolved the problem at the center of the cosmos without shedding any blood!"
"The situation right now is similar to the situation a few years ago when the Black Wind Fleet, the Xing Yao Federation, and Professor Mo Xuan were in a stalemate."
The mental devil smiled. "The main-force fleet of the Holy League is like the Black Wind Fleet, and the Imperium of True Human Beings is like the Xing Yao Federation. When the two parties are at loggerheads, we will play the role of Professor Mo Xuan and hide in the Spiritual Nexus, ready to take advantage of the battle!
"If we can capture and even swallow the Puppet King, it is indeed very likely that we can paralyze or even hijack the Fuxi system. But just like I said, what then?
"It may be easy to paralyze the Fuxi system, but you must know that the billions of soldiers and workers are all controlled by the Fuxi system to maintain the most basic order. The worst order is better than no order at all. If we kill all the Ultimate Benevolence Masters instantly, paralyze the entire network of the Holy League, and then tell all the people of the Holy League that there is no 'god', what do you think the consequences will be? Will the side effects of such an action be less severe than the Puppet King's Disillusionment Virus, Glory Virus, and Gluttony Virus?"
Li Yao fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
"You can destroy their gods, but you cannot make them abandon order and hope. In order to maintain the basic order of the Holy League and stabilize the triangle among the Holy League, the Imperium, and the Federation so that the entire civilization of mankind can be guided into a brighter future as calmly as possible, a 'new god' must be created."
The mental devil said gloomily, "For example, with the 'enhanced education' function of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and the spread of the Fuxi system, you can build yourself into a savior, a new god of kindness, justice, and light … I think that's a good idea. Do you want to consider it?"
"There's no need. As long as one is a god, there is no such thing as' kindness, justice, or light '."
Li Yao flatly refused. "I only believe in my own kind — human beings. I will never believe in any god, including myself. I will never become a god, never!"
"Alright."
The mental devil mumbled, "Then, you can influence the 'soldier bees' and the 'worker bees' with your charisma and your boiling blood one after another. I wish you success."
Li Yao sniffed and ignored the guy.
He discovered that, although the mental devil was no longer confronting him head-on like in the beginning and was even pretending to be obedient and cooperative, the sharpness that it was hiding behind its meekness was even more irresistible.
Only a 'new god' could maintain the basic order of the post- Holy League era and slowly reform the people of the Holy League …
Li Yao boosted his soul and completely shattered the irrelevant thoughts.
Focusing his attention, he began to study the new files. Well, not the files of the Puppet King, but the files of "Black Wind King Li Yao". He had to make an analysis report for the four core members of the yaksha squad later!
…
An hour later, Li Yao met the other three core members of the yaksha squad except for "Major" Chu Zhixiao in the meeting room of the yaksha squad.
They were indeed all extraordinary people with the most intimidating appearances.
"Titan" Yuan Kou, as his name suggested, had a vitality field so powerful that Li Yao had never seen anything like it before.
If the vitality field of the general experts in the Yuanying Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage were like a burning tree, Yuan Kou's vitality field was like a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Even though Li Yao's soul was hiding deep inside the spider tank, he could still sense the scorching heat that was thousands of degrees high.
At such a burning speed, the life of a normal expert should've been burnt up in only a year and a half.
However, judging from the terrifying appearance of Yuan Kou, who was almost five meters tall and four meters wide, whose strengthened plate armor had been embedded into his muscles, and whose tubes where suspicious liquids were flowing out of his chest and penetrated into his back, Li Yao could tell that the guy had nothing to do with "normal" at all.
"Black Dream" Yun Haixin, on the other hand, was the most mysterious of the four.
Yuan Kou had expanded his vitality field to the maximum at any time and anywhere blatantly, while Yun Haixin had concealed his vitality field to the point that it was almost nothingness, making it impossible for other people to sense his heartbeat, breath, pulse, or brainwaves at all. If Li Yao's crystal cameras hadn't captured that he was sitting right in front of him, it would've been impossible for him to notice the existence of such a person with his senses.
What a powerful stealth technique. Not only does it involve the concealment of aura and optical refraction, it is also partly related to illusions. He is releasing illusions all the time to interfere with the brainwaves and the soul senses of the people around him, hiding himself in a certain illusion!
Li Yao was secretly surprised. With the capability that "Black Dream" Yun Haixin had casually demonstrated, he would've definitely been one of the most distinguished experts in the Imperium of True Human Beings. Even among the four Kurfürst families, he would've had a say in it.
How did such a strong, respected noble Immortal Cultivator end up in the Holy League and even become the accomplice of the Holy League willingly without being brainwashed?
Li Yao could not figure it out at all.
However, for him right now, neither "Major" Chu Zhixiao, "Titan" Yuan Kou, or "Black Dream" Yun Haixin were the enemies that posed the greatest threat to him.
"Seven Stars" Gong Qixing was.
The 'monster' made of seven remaining souls was controlling a seemingly plain artificial body, but inside the abnormally expanded metal brain, a super crystal processor with a computational ability even higher than that of the spider tank was embedded. Seven glittering crystal cameras were embedded at the center of the mask. Red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and purple flames were flashing in different colors, representing the wisdom of seven specialists in crystal processors, the Spiritual Nexus, tracking, and antivirus.
"Major" Chu Zhixiao might've been unable to sense the subtle difference between the spider tank before and after the explosion.
However, as a specialist in crystal processors and antivirus, it was very likely that Li Yao, the "universal virus", would've discovered the existence of Li Yao.
They had to be on full alert and deal with it carefully!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
While observing the four core members of the yaksha squad in silence and considering his disguise and countermeasures, Li Yao tried his best to project the files about the "Puppet King" and the "Black Wind King" that he had just collected in the form of 3D streams of information, forming an incessant river of data in the ceiling of the conference room.
"Right when the Puppet King tried to detonate a main-force warship with the ghoul incident as a disguise, a case of remote invasion and sabotage took place on Black Castle in the Thick Soil Sector in the frontline. The invader was probably Black Wind King Li Yao, a new-generation expert who rose to prominence recently in the Imperium of True Human Beings. Wow. How terrifying!"
Waving his forelimbs, Li Yao said in a shivering voice, "You're all familiar with the files about the Puppet King. Here's the files about the Black Wind King. Don't be careless. This Li Yao is truly awesome. He — he is both sordid and shameless. He is almost the crystallization of all the dark essence of the extraterrestrial devils. He is best at infiltrating the enemy's rear and bewitching people. He can sneak to us at any moment. We must be careful and capture the big bad guy!"
"Exactly," Chu Zhixiao said.
"The Puppet King and the Black Wind King Li Yao are both among the top three in the latest 'Individual Threat Database'. However, we never associated the Puppet King with the Black Wind King before, and the investigation and combat missions about the Black Wind King Li Yao were not the yaksha squad's responsibility, either.
"However, in only a few days, the Black Wind King and the Puppet King caused a lot of trouble almost at the same time. Also, the two of them are very similar in that they can both remotely hack the brains of the Holy League and partly control the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors.
"Therefore, my superiors have already made an equivalence between the two dangerous persons. I, too, am very suspicious about the relationship between the two persons. Therefore, I asked for permission from my superiors to include 'Black Wind King' Li Yao in our investigation.
"Now, we will begin our investigation and operation with the premise that the Black Wind King Li Yao is possibly closely related to the mysterious Puppet King!
"Black Dream, as a native of the Imperium, you know more about the Immortal Cultivators than me. Why don't you tell us about the Black Wind King Li Yao first? Is it possible that he is the Puppet King?"
"It's been almost twenty years since I left the Imperium, and this Black Wind King Li Yao is an expert who only rose to prominence in recent years. I know as much about him as you do about him."
"Black Dream" Yun Haixin smiled and said, "However, I know the people of the Imperium better than you do, and I know the complicated forces inside the Imperium better. Therefore, I know what an unbelievable miracle the rise of the Black Wind King Li Yao is!
"In only one or two years, he helped the queen of the Imperium and the system of 'God of War' Lei Chenghu to renew the Imperium, usurp the supreme power of the Imperium, occupy the capital, and annihilate the remaining soul of Blackstar the Great. The coalition fleet of the four Kurfürst families that had all the advantages were crushed by him. The guy truly deserves his nickname of 'Half Wall of the Imperium'. He can't be more terrifying!"
"That's right!"
