While talking, the Puppet King displayed more structural designs and surveillance pictures of the starship among the skyscrapers.
From the surveillance pictures, it could be seen that the places including the bridge, the arsenal, and even the warehouse of crystals and the engine compartment were partly under his control. The connection between the staff and the crystal processors was cut off, and the enemy's request to retrieve the Crystal Suit and weapons was denied. Most of the soldiers of the Holy League were separated and locked in small cabins.
With his help, it did not seem impossible to break into the bridge from the City of Light and seize the entire starship.
"It may be unnecessarily cruel, but that's how survival works. I know that most of you still need time to get used to it, but like I said, we are running out of time. Whoever wakes up to the truth of survival first will be qualified to live!"
The Puppet King continued casually. "Don't try to make up the numbers by hiding behind the crowd stealthily. Remember, I control all the surveillance cameras on Eternal Light. I can see your every move clearly. I will distribute the water, food, fuel, and even the precious seats in the escape capsules according to your performance in the 'battle of survival'.
"According to my analysis, only one tenth of you can survive the 'battle of survival' and grasp the real meaning of 'human beings'. Therefore, you must make sure that you are braver than the nine people around you.
"Come on, compatriots and friends. Awaken your real strength and take action!
"What's wrong? Are you still dumbstruck and at a loss? Alright, I can't blame you. After all, you've been immersed in this nightmare for too long. Let me help you again and 'give' you a little push!"
As the Puppet King spoke, the circular light screen on the surrounding cabin walls flashed again, but this time, a series of blood-red numbers appeared. It was a rapidly jumping countdown, and there were still twelve hours left.
"Do you see the countdown?"
The Puppet King said with a smile, "Twelve hours to go. Ah. It's 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 52 seconds. Before the time reaches zero, if you haven't seized the bridge by then, I will activate the self-detonation system of Eternal Light and obliterate you, the walking dead who do not deserve to be called 'human beings', in the sea of stars with your humiliating lives.
"A human-shaped pig that doesn't know how to resist and doesn't have any self-awareness can't continue to tarnish the great name of humanity.
"Trust me. I found another Holy League starship a few days ago and tried to hack and activate the self-destruct system. It was powerful enough.
"Therefore, if you continue to be dumbfounded, you will die anyway. Why don't you unleash the courage of a supernova explosion at the last moment of your life and die like a real warrior?
"Are you still … unable to move? His heart was beating so fast that his legs were almost unable to move. Alright, alright, I know that your bodies are too weak and you are no match for the defenders. That is why I have been injecting some special … nutrients into your food and water since a few days ago. When these nutrients are combined with what I am about to release, it will, 'boom', explode every drop of your blood, allowing you to release the anger, fury, and fury that you have suppressed for hundreds of years! "
"Chi —"
As the Puppet King clenched its fists and smashed down fiercely, a large amount of dark red fog gushed out from the ventilation pipes in all directions.
Although it was called a dense fog, it was also like a drizzle that sprinkled on the bodies of every citizen of Guang Ming City. It was like blood that seeped out from their pores and was strangely absorbed back into their pores.
Blood streaks that looked like electric arcs immediately appeared in the eyes of many citizens. The blood streaks trembled crazily and eventually broke apart.
"Huff huff … Ahhh … Awoooo … Awoooo!"
The citizens whose eyes were bloodshot clutched their heads tightly. Their short and thick fingers dug deep into their skulls, and they let out beast-like roars from the depths of their throats.
In just a few seconds, they were sweating profusely. Steam rose from their bodies and rushed straight to the dome. They were like a boiling boiler.
The 'fury gas' that spurted out of their bodies dispersed in the entire city. Even the residents who were not hit by the bloody storm were still haunted by the dense fog and could not free themselves. Gradually, their furious eyes and hideous faces were revealed in the dense fog.
The million fat, healthy citizens of Guang Ming City seemed to have all turned into animals that were filled with fury and primitive instincts in only a few minutes!
"Yes. That's right. Release your fury that you have been imprisoned and deceived for three hundred years! If death is an inevitable outcome, there will be ten times more people buried with you. It's time to make those guys pay the price. No one, no matter the deities or the demons in the netherworld, can trample on the dignity of human beings without paying the price! Kill them. Kill them. Kill everybody who stands in your way! "
The King of Puppets in the bloody fog and the flames of fury laughed heartily. The weird black spot at the center of his eyebrows turned into the shape of a long, narrow saber, as if it were going to split his head and release something even weirder and more powerful.
Blinking his eyes, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "Right, right now in Guang Ming City, there happen to be some lackeys of the enemy lurking around you. They are the ones who castrated your spirit and fighting spirit and turned you into what you are now. Don't you want to kill them as sacrifices to your flag?"
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
On the circular light beams on the walls of several skyscrapers and the border of the city, the real-time coordinates of the capture teams appeared one after another, as well as the information of the members of the teams, including their clear portraits.
Even the Yaksha Squad was not spared. The 3D photos of Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, Yuan Kou, and Guan Qixing, as well as their hilarious appearances when they were lurking outside of Sail Academy, were all controlled by the King of Puppets and transmitted to the light beams, allowing the millions of infuriated citizens of Guang Ming City to see everything.
Furthermore, almost a hundred highly directional and powerful spotlights had been reactivated by the Puppet King, hitting the head of every arrest team with the pillars of light, exposing them to everybody's eyes with nowhere to hide.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The portable crystal processors of all the capture teams were beeping in earsplitting tones, which were particularly jarring in the middle of the roars.
The boiling brains of the citizens of Guang Ming City seemed to have a special reaction to the beeps. Perhaps a certain 'kill switch' deep inside their brains was activated by the special frequency of the beeps, and the roars were immediately louder and more intense.
However, when the 'Purgers', the 'Cleaners', and the special forces of the Blessed Army tried to turn off their crystal processors in a hurry, they discovered that they could not. What popped up on the light beams of the crystal processors was the malicious smile of the King of Puppets and the twisting, changing black spot.
"The King of Puppets hacked our tactical network a long time ago, stole our encrypted data, and even hijacked our portable crystal processors!"
The members of the capture teams finally realized what was going on, but there was no time.
"Right now, you know where the lackeys are hiding," the King of Puppets said coldly.
The King of Puppets said coldly, "Kill them. As long as all the dogs are killed, I will open the channel from the City of Light to the bridge, the engine compartment, and the arsenal. You will become the real masters of this small world.
"Just like I said, the hope of survival must be earned by yourself. Whoever is the bravest in the battle will be given the most resources and guided to embark on a brand-new path to become the dominator of the sea of stars!
"Let the battle begin. Let's fight to our heart's content, just like how our ancestors slaughtered the gods and devils hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
The picture of the King of Puppets gradually faded out of the picture.
However, the dazzling, bloody countdown was getting brighter and brighter. Flames and lightning were dancing on the blinking countdown, reminding everybody that they only had half a day left to live if they did not try their best to fight!
"Damn it. The King of Puppets discovered us a long time ago!"
Chu Zhixiao bellowed. "He is trying to instigate total chaos on Eternal Brilliance so that he can take advantage of the chaos and escape while countless escape capsules are launched to the outside world!
"Red Pig, Seven Star, what's the situation in the bridge right now? Can you break the information block of the King of Puppets?"
"It's very difficult. I need time!"
For the first time, Guan Qixing's voice was no longer as calm as a technical expert. There was panic in it. "The King of Puppets has blocked all the data exits and hijacked the network system on the entire starship. This — this is definitely not a temporary decision. He must've planned this for a long time!"
"I — I don't have a choice!"
Li Yao was almost cursing in his original accent, but he had to pretend that he was panicking. He rubbed his forelimbs like a fly and said, "Not just the assault warships and the interferential warships outside of the bridge, we can't even reach out to the other capture squads. If we are too far away from each other, the network will be seriously interfered with, and we may lose contact at any moment! The King of Puppets is truly sordid. What a bad guy! "
Chu Zhixiao spat on the ground. He turned into a streak of brightness and dashed into the crystal processor center of Sail Academy.
Li Yao followed him and spread his senses to every corner of the college. He did not even let go of the female toilet. Naturally, he found nothing.
The crystal processor center was absolutely empty. There was not the slightest trace of anybody.
There was only an enormous 3D light beam floating in the sky of the crystal processor center, on which a line of rigid words was floating.
"The dream of Eternal Light has been awakened. Where is your dream?"
Chu Zhixiao stared at the words that were obviously written for her. Her eyes were blurred, and her lips were twitching. There was no telling what was on her mind.
